Ashburton Hospital’s Ward One on the move By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

While the focus has been on the construction of Ashburton Hospital’s new Acute Assessment Unit, workers have been busy behind the scenes with other wards. Ward One is expected to move next week from the current 21 bed ground floor location, to Ward Three upstairs. The freshly refurbished Ward Three was completed last year and will operate with 18 beds for the next six months while Ward One gets a makeover. Bernice Marra, Ashburton health services manager, said the move will likely happen next Wednesday, with inpatients and their families receiving rolling updates in the days leading up to the move. “Planning has had to be very particular to ensure patient safety during the moves”. “We have tried to reduce the impact on patients and staff with any movement and once all the refurbishments and moves are complete, areas will

be more modern and fit for purpose,” she said. Mrs Marra said the work on the ward is mostly cosmetic, with painting, new floor coverings and a new nurse call system being implemented. A new lift is also being installed in the hospital. On top of the new 826sqm Acute Assessment Unit, work has been done on the outside of the hospital. Earlier this year the ambulance bay tentatively opened, after being shut temporarily to allow work to start on its shift into the new complex. The $8.7 million refurbishments were originally announced in 2013, with the district health board providing $7.2 million and $1.5 million for charities. The move will be the first time anyone will use the newly refurbished Ward Three, which was completed last year. Refurbishments on the hospital are expected to be completed within the first half of next year.

■ EMERGENCY HOUSING PLAN

Policy gets mixed reviews By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Some 5000 homeless people are set to get off the streets if Labour’s housing policy pulls through. However, Ashburton and other small towns across New Zealand may not benefit as much as the big cities. Jackie Girvan of Presbyterian Support Ashburton said the bulk of the $60 million emergency housing plan would likely be directed at centres like Auckland. “I just can’t see people putting much effect into little places like Ashburton,” she said. Presbyterian Support Ash-

Jackie Girvan burton provides community services like aged care, family support and helping connect people with emergency

accommodation. Mrs Girvan said Presbyterian Support usually sees one to two people a week who are looking for emergency housing. She said there is currently money available from National’s $41.1 million scheme for 3000 emergency homes, which they can access through Winz. The money allows Presbyterian Support to put people up in a motel for a couple of nights. The scheme was introduced by Social Housing minister Paula Bennett earlier this year as a boost for emergency housing providers. Initially she said the 3000 homes would be new, but later

clarified that part of the money would go to existing emergency homes. National MP for the Rangitata electorate Jo Goodhew said Labour’s policy was remarkably similar to National’s one released last week. She said the need for emergency housing is probably greater in Auckland but is still necessary elsewhere in the country. “Well it’s really light on facts so you get some idea on how little will filter down to Ashburton,” she said. The emergency housing policy is part of three housing policies Labour is set to reveal, commemorating their 100th anniversary.

Whale washes up A large humpback whale has washed up on Wakanui Beach. Trevors Road resident Charlie Goulter and Chloe Jamieson wasted no time heading down to the beach yesterday afternoon after learning of the whale’s fate on Facebook. They found the animal about 300 metres south of the entrance to the beach under the cliffs and estimated it to be up to 10 metres long. “It had been injured – it looked like part of its tail had been cut off,” Charlie said. Department of Conservation ranger Steve Harraway said humpbacks were migrating north at this time of the year. “It’s not unusual for them to wash up, we get one or two most years,” Mr Harraway said. DoC staff will visit the site today with the intention of taking samples to establish what may have caused the whale to die.

Fed up with dry water wells BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Fed up with their wells running dry during the long, summer months, people living on Taits Road want to hook up to Ashburton’s town water supply. Twelve property owners in the Glassworks – Northpark Road section of Taits Road have asked the Ashburton Dsitrict Council for an extension to the town water supply so they will have their water supply guaranteed, year round. The council responded by asking all 31 properties owners by letter if they were interested in the deal. Assets manager Andrew

Guthrie said letters had been sent to all 31 properties along the road. The letter set out approximate costs and rating implications and also asked if they supported the proposal. Of those, 17 replied and all were keen to see an investigation carried out, he said. When councillors discussed the request at this week’s service delivery meeting, councillor Darryl Nelson suggested that if the water main was being extended it would be worth asking property owners on nearby roads if they wanted to be part of the project too. The area was surveyed several years ago to gauge interest but there was little interest.

One resident who did not want to be identified, said he and his wife were keen to change from well water to town supply. They bought their property in 1997. Originally the well on the property had a good supply of water at 10 metres, then 27 meters and a few years ago they had to deepen the well again to 37 metres. “When we did that they told us if we run out of water again we’d have to go to 75 metres,” he said. Hooking in to the town supply would give them surety the couple say. Properties in the area are on septic tanks, but with increasing housing density and tighter rules

around those tanks, it made sense for the council to provide full services to the area, they said. If the water project goes ahead it would involve the construction of a new pipeline along the southwest side of Taits Road. This would connect to the existing trunk water main in two or three places. New property service connections would be provided to the road boundary of each property. The cost for network extensions are generally met by properties that benefit and estimates for the Taits Road costs are between $15,000 and $20,000 per property. This excludes on-property work.

■ MAORI LANGUAGE WEEK

Schools celebrate Maori Language Week Schools around Mid Canterbury celebrated Maori Language Week in a variety of ways this week. Some schools read myths and legends and others learnt words and sang songs. Ashburton Borough School held a full day wananga event with Fairton School where students learnt songs, tested out their poi skills, had a go at weaving and tried the rakau stick. Pictured is Ashburton Borough School student Quintin McAffie, 8, during the celebrations. Other schools that celebrated the week included Ashburton Netherby, Tinwald and Hampstead. The theme for this year’s Maori Language Week was akina te reo (behind you all the way), which aims to use te reo Maori to support people.

Mid Canty lining up YFC honours? Mid Canterbury grand finalist in the FMG Young Farmer of the Year Athol New put in a commanding performance during yesterday’s practical day in Timaru and is now a hot favourite to win the title tonight. The 30-year-old dairy business manager for Purata Farms backed up a solid Technical Day by winning the Silver Fern Farms Agri-sports after a gruelling morning of completing tasks on his own farmlet and being tested on a myriad of farm activities. New is a member of the Pendarves Young Farmers and has shown composure through-out the epic two days of competition. On finishing the practical day, he said he was ‘relieved’ it was all over. While no points have been released as to how competitors are faring New’s practical nouse was evident and on display. Tonight the 48th FMG Young Farmer of the Year will be announced with New’s loyal support crew from his Young Farmers Club hoping he will bring the title home.

In brief

Farming buzz at instore days BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton was abuzz with its own mini fieldays this week when ATS held its annual instore days. Giant marquees in the co-operative’s carpark housed more than 120 suppliers on Thursday and Friday, all offering deals that were welcomed by the district’s farming community, despite the tight economic times. Interim CEO Rob Sharkie said the number of transactions was 15 per cent up on last year and there was a positive vibe to the event, which has become a fea-

ture on the farming calendar over the past 22 years. He said turnover was up 30 per cent and suppliers were tuned in to farmers’ needs and interests. “There is a positive feel but things are tight and people are only spending money on things that will give them a return on their investment.” ATS board chairman Phil McKendry said some farmers had held off spending to take advantage of the good deals and specials. “Most have done the slash and burn, and there’s been good growth in the autumn and early

winter. These are still challenging markets but there is an underlying resilience.” The instore days give ATS and Ruralco suppliers a chance to offer not only product, but their expertise and knowledge in the rural supplies market. Among the suppliers was Gallagher’s Chris Richards offering “a disco on a paddock”. He was promoting the company’s new electronic heat detectors, which are stuck to a cow’s rear and flash red or green to indicate when they are ready for mating. The stick-on pads were named

best innovation at the recent national fieldays in Mystery Creek and Gallagher’s stall was named best supplier site at the instore days. Mr Johnson said the batterypowered electronic pads were easily applied and made it easier for staff to pick cows on heat; paddocks at night could look like a disco leading up to mating. Gallaghers made 20,000 units last year but had about 500,000 ready for mating this season. They cost about $10 each and the company takes them back for safe disposal.

Luxurious night planned in airport hangar BY RUBY HARFIELD

RUBY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Cantabrians will have a chance to get dressed to impress for a good cause tonight. The sold-out Pretty in Pink Ball, which will have 240 attendees, has been organised by six local women at the Ashburton Airport to raise funds for the Mid Canterbury Cancer Society. One of the organisers, Tracey Tordoff, said she was thrilled with the number of people who have bought tickets and businesses who have sponsored tables and donated items for 15 silent auctions. “We’ve had an amazing response from the community, it’s been incredible.” Local artist Rachel Jemmett has even created a painting to be auctioned especially for the event. She hoped that everyone would enjoy the venue, which is in a hangar at the Ashburton Airport, where people will be surrounded by planes. “I’m hoping it will be a great night.” There will also be a band, Vague As Brothers, coming from Christchurch to entertain the ball-goers, Ms Tordoff said. “It will be a great band and a great venue.”

Life sentence Eric McIsaac has been jailed for life for murdering his half-brother Alex Fisher. He must serve at least 14 years behind bars. In the High Court at Palmerston North yesterday, Justice David Collins said, “Your conduct is impossible to comprehend, particularly given the close relationship you had with Alex”. Fisher’s victim impact statement said the whole family was struggling with what happened. “Your offending is really the worst nightmare for a parent,” Collins said. The judge said it was clear McIsaac had a life-long battle with mental health problems that escalated before he was jailed for burning his father’s flat. Collins sentenced McIsaac to life with a minimum non-parole period of 14 years. - NZME

ChCh District Court A top criminal defence lawyer charged with having methamphetamine has yesterday denied the allegation. Steven Rollo, 41, noted for his work in defending New Zealand gang members, entered a not guilty plea yesterday and was granted a registrar’s remand at Christchurch District Court without having to appear before a judge. Police allege that Rollo was caught in possession of class A drug methamphetamine in Christchurch on July 1. He’s also accused of failing or refusing to give an enforcement officer his full name and address last Friday. Rollo, of Christchurch, denies both charges and must appear in court on September 6 for a case review hearing. - NZME

Nelson police are looking for a woman they say is a risk to the community. Police said 34-yearold Phoebe O’Donoghue was previously living in Motueka but had links to the wider Nelson area and also Palmerston North. They said she had failed to adhere to her parole conditions and was an undue risk to the community. Police warned anyone who saw O’Donoghue not to approach her but to contact Nelson police immediately on 03 546 3840. Alternatively, people could share information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. - NZME

Cracker skiing conditions at Mt Hutt Skifield Mt Hutt Skifield staff were excited about fresh snow on the mountain yesterday and the prospect of two days of cracker skiing over the weekend. Some 7cm fell yesterday making visibility a challenge for those on the slopes but the winter conditions were exactly what was needed before the onslaught of school holiday skiers over the next two weeks. Forecasters are predicting another cold blast next week, with even a low level snow event. Canterbury Snow and Weather Watch advised farmers to stay tuned to forecasts as the snow could cause disruption and stress to stock on higher and exposed ground. Mt Hutt’s snowmakers have been in action over the past few days and those heading to the skifield need to have chains and drive with care. Porters Ski Area will open the lower mountain tomorrow and snowmakers and groomers have been working steadily over the last week to provide skiable cover for the beginner areas and Easy Street. The forecast storm in the middle of next week will hopefully bring the snow required to open the entire mountain offering more terrain for advanced skiers and boarders. “It has been a frustrating couple of weeks but cold temperatures have allowed good snow making,” said general manager Uli Dinsenbacher.

In brief Oil spill During a routine audit of operations at the Rakaia Resource Recovery Park an oil spill was discovered. Under the Ashburton District Council’s consent requirements, Environment Canterbury was notified and immediate steps were taken to ensure there were no further leaks or spills. The spill, however has resulted in a significant non-compliance abatement notice being issued to the council.

Frost-free roads

If you own a belt of trees that shade a rural road, expect to receive a letter from the Ashburton District Council. As part of its drive to ensure rural roads remain frost free during the winter, the council has written to 76 property owners asking for their shelter belts to be trimmed or removed. Of those, 62 are working with the council. Council staff are monitoring the remaining 14 properties and if gritting of roads along side those shelter belts is required to ensure motorists’ safety, the owners will receive a bill in the mail. To date, 15 property owners have taken remedial action and have been removed from the council’s list of offenders.

Officers are ‘heroes’

Meth linked to family violence By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Meth use is a factor behind a double in the requirements of domestic violence services in Ashburton. Mid-South Island Women’s Refuge and Family Safety Services have added a second day to a social workers schedule in Ashburton. Manager Dawn Rangi-Smith said figures have increased dramatically. “There appears to be an increase in the use of meth up there,” she said. The social worker now comes to the community office on Thursdays as well as Mondays due to the extra demand. “She is busy, extremely busy up there, lots of women are wanting protection orders,” she said. Constable Maire Froud, Ash-

burton family violence co-ordinator, said she could not comment on the link between meth and family violence in the Ashburton area. “Awareness of Family Harm is certainly gaining momentum at present which is great”. “However, there is certainly a shortage of resources available in the Ashburton area to deal with family violence,” she said. “Also it is evident with research and pilots being run in other parts of the country that there needs to be perpetrator support agencies in place if we are to make any headway in reducing Family Harm,” Constable Froud said. Police senior sergeant Scott Banfield said meth would certainly be a factor in family violence.

“A regular methamphetamine user would be unpredictable and violent,” he said. Mr Banfield said police have seen an increase in volume crimes like assaults, robberies and burglaries and meth is a driver of those sorts of crimes. However, he said police had not been attending an increase in domestic violence cases themselves. He said Ashburton was not an outlier in New Zealand, but because it was a small town the effects of meth use were seen sooner. “There wouldn’t be a community in New Zealand that isn’t affected by meth in some way,” “Ashburton is a smaller reflection of great New Zealand,” Mr Banfield said. The statistics for family vio-

lence in New Zealand are sobering to read. In 2014, on average police recorded a domestic violence investigation every five-and-a-half minutes. Every year, 13 women, 10 men and nine children are killed as a result of family violence. Family violence is also under reported, with only 20 to 25 per cent of cases being reported. In the 2014/2015 report from Women’s Refuge, nearly 82,000 crisis calls were made, over 16,000 women and children accessed their services and 33,000 cases of family violence were reported to them by police. If you need support you can call the Women’s Refuge crisis line on 0800 733 843 or the Alcohol Drug Helpline on 0800 787 797.

Two police officers have been described as “heroes” after they spent an hour submerged in the Manawatu River keeping the head of a truck driver above water. Manawatu Area Commander, Inspector Sarah Stewart praised those involved in saving the lives of a man and woman hurt when the truck they were in plunged 50m into the Manawatu Gorge. The truck was partially submerged following the crash yesterday, but the two occupants, both aged in their 40s, survived and are stable in Palmerston North Hospital. - NZME

School threatened A Waikato school was closed for the day yesterday after receiving a “physical threat”. A parent of a student who attends Horsham Downs Primary School, in north Hamilton, said the school called to tell her to pick her child up as the school “had received some kind of physical threat” and was closing for the day. The school confirmed the closure on its website. - NZME

■ 24/7 YOUTHWORK

Youth workers get extra education By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton-based youth workers from 24/7 Youthwork have recently returned from a conference in Auckland. The three-day workshop brought together over 200 youth workers from across New Zealand to learn about issues facing today’s youth. This was the first year youth workers from Ashburton attended the conference. The three workers, who are all sitting their National Certificate in Youth Work, are based at Ashburton Intermediate and had their travel costs paid for by the School, The Mid Canterbury Youth Charitable Trust and 24/7 Youthwork New Zealand. The Mid-Canterbury Youth Charitable Trust, a trust set up by the Ashburton New Life Church, supports the 24/7 youth workers. The three-day conference had several keynote speakers including Duane Major, who founded 24/7, as well as running the successful campaign to buy Abel Tasman beach for the general public. Trust Co-ordinator Lisa Ander-

son said Duane was incredibly insightful about youth work.

The conference also featured research, done by Auckland

University, on what risks young people were taking. Mrs Ander-

son said they found fewer young people are getting into fast cars, taking drugs and binge-drinking compared to 2002 numbers. However, they were taking more risks on social media by what they were posting and saying. “It’s the silent threat that has come into our homes,” she said. Mrs Anderson also said youth workers in Ashburton have noticed the youth were starting to deal with issues at a younger age. “The issues that are impacting 12 to 13-year-olds now are issues that we were dealing with when we were 18,” she said. She said they found kids now wanted time and a place where they could come and talk to someone they trust about their issues. Youth workers from 24/7 Youthwork are in Ashburton Intermediate for two hours a day, five days a week. Mrs Anderson said the Trust funds 24/7 Youth Work through donations and applying for government grants. If people want to donate they should contact admin@MCyouth. org.nz.

Big thumbs up for college ball venue Ashburton College students have given a big thumbs up to the Ashburton Trust Event Centre as a venue for its annual ball. The social highlight of the year for Year 12 and 13 students has traditionally been held at the Hotel Ashburton, but a scheduling clash saw it move to the event centre on July 1. Ball committee chairperson Katie Read said it was a great alternative venue and students and staff were being consulted about using it again next year.

A team of 10 planned and executed the ball, which had a James Bond theme and was attended by about 400 students and their partners. “Roger and Casey at the event centre were great. We told them what we wanted and they made it happen with lights and special effects, and Denise had all the decorations. It was great.” The students said deputy principal Helen Shore-Taylor was also instrumental in the smooth running of the night.

Past and present members of the Friends of Ashburton Hospital and Tuarangi gathered this week to celebrate 40 years of care and support. The reunion was held in the Sinclair Centre where awards were presented before food was served to the 53 attendees. The Friends of Ashburton Hospital and Tuarangi is a group of volunteers who provide support to patients and residents in the form of providing tea and coffee, feeding patients and chapel services. Five of the 47 current members received awards, four long-service awards for a combined 100 years of service as well as an honorary award for Margaret Blair, who has been with the group for 40 years. Mrs Blair joined the group in 1976. “I joined because my little girl went to kindy and I lived in the country and it was a good way of

filling in time while I waited for her,” she said. Mrs Blair said getting the award was a real surprise and she did not expect to get it. She said some of her favourite parts of being a volunteer were working with people. “You get from people what you give them,” she said. The other award winners are Melva Clucas with 24 years of service, Bernice Davidson with 26 years, Daphne Early with 28 years and Gwenda Irelend with 28 years of service. Bernice Mara, Ashburton Hospital health service manager, said the service Friends of the Ashburton Hospital and Tuarangi provided is invaluable. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to thank the Friends of the Ashburton Hospital and Tuarangi who provide constant support,” she said.

Some of Ashburton’s young performers got the chance to be behind the stage instead of on it at a recent directing workshop. The Big Little Theatre Company hosted a workshop on directing scripted theatre and the company’s acting coach Jackie Heffernan said it was for kids who want to give directing a go. “I was just so thrilled to see so many of them turn up on a Sunday,” she said. The workshop focused on analysing a script, directing stage performers, production aspects of the directing process and the students were coached on their direction by Daniel Pengelly, associate director at The Court Theatre in Christchurch. Mrs Heffernan said Mr Pengelly was pleased with the group. “The script we analysed was for a play called The Events which is a beautifully written, but very complex, play. “Dan said the quality of the discussion, with some of the kids being as young as 12, was phenomenal,” she said. Mrs Heffernan said the workshop was a huge success.

In a Maori Language Week fail, a misspelled sign directing drivers to “Whanagarei” was taken down yesterday morning, as the agency responsible worked out where its spellcheck process went wrong. A sign erected on Wednesday was greeting drivers with an extra “a” in Whangarei. “I thought it was hilarious,” said Karl Hendry, who contacted the Advocate after his nephew drew his attention to the blunder. The New Zealand Transport Agency manages the state highway network and its signage, with Northland and Auckland highway manager Brett Gliddon saying the sign would be replaced by the end of next week by the contractor at no extra cost to the taxpayer, he said. Mr Gliddon said NZTA worked hard to ensure all signs were accurate. “It’s disappointing this one slipped through our checking process. We are looking into where the issue was in the quality control process,” he said. – NZME

Show sends environmental message

Students learn Maori myths Tinwald School house leader Jack Middleton reads a Maori legend to a junior class to celebrate Maori Language Week on Thursday.

Ashburton Netherby School’s junior students sent out a strong message about the importance of being environmentally friendly during their production of Eddie the Penguin Saves the World on Wednesday. The show was performed in the school hall to a crowd of nearly 200 parents. The performance was based on the topic of sustainability which the students

have been studying. Principal Phil Wheeler said the children had been working on the production throughout the term and put on a stellar show for their families. “It was an outstanding performance by the junior students.” Mr Wheeler said he was blown away by the community support for the production with people donating items and their time to create costumes and props.

Books galore at Chertsey J

ust off State Highway 1 between Rakaia and Ashburton Paul Edwards has created an oasis to indulge his passion for books – thousands upon thousands of books. Paul began filling the 1500 square metre shed with books about four years ago, driven by a need to find extra storage for his burgeoning collection. He wasn’t at the barn when I dropped in unannounced on Friday morning, however, all was well in the safe hands of fellow booklover Cheryl McEvedy, who lives “just around the corner” and is quite happy to don a jacket and scarf to open the barn on a chilly Mid Canterbury morning. Paul lives in Christchurch and commutes to Chertsey every day, Cheryl says – every day he’s not on the road scouring the length and breadth of the South Island for more books that is. His passion for collecting books began when he volunteered to help with a church jumble sale and was dismayed by the number of books tagged to be discarded. The first reaction of many new visitors to the barn is in the form of an expletive, men in particular, Cheryl said. And it’s easy to see why. Row after row after row of books

An unassuming shed in Chertsey is pulling an increasing number of curious travellers off State Highway 1 and has become a destination for many booklovers. Guardian reporter Michelle Nelson investigates. line shelves stacked head high. Piles of banana boxes contain many more treasures and if that’s not enough, seven onsite containers house even more books awaiting space on the shelves. Whatever your favourite genre, you are bound to find something to please. And while the initial reaction maybe one of disarray – don’t be fooled. Books are divided into sections and sorted alphabetically by the authors’ name. Just like any library. “Paul can virtually put his hand on any book in the barn. If a customer comes in and asks for a particular book and we have it, he will know where it is,” Cheryl said. For those left wanting there is the wishlist, kept at the counter. “If Paul can find it for you, he will. He’s very knowledgeable and can help most people out,” she said. There are sections for travel, crime, cooking, classics, art, romance, craft and everything in between. Should you have an inclination to try your hand at calligraphy, visit the book barn. Need some inspiration with home

renovations, visit the book barn. Planning your next trip off the grid, visit the book barn. Just looking for a good read, visit the book barn. Customers come from near and far to do just that and over the years the book barn has become something of a destination shop in the quiet country hamlet. “We have one customer who comes down from Nelson about four times a year,” Cheryl said, “others call in off the road.” With free coffee, soft drinks and lollies, a public restroom and a book feast to beat them all on offer, why wouldn’t you? It’s little wonder many customers spend hours at a time selecting their reading material, which can be had for a pittance of the price many secondhand booksellers charge. And while you’re there, you may wish to pick up a piece of carpet, some handknitted winter woollies or choose a good old-fashioned game or puzzle to while away a wet day. The book barn is open from 9am to 7pm seven days a week.

Four-year-old Charlee McLachlan needs life-changing surgery in the United States. Guardian reporter Linda Clarke talks with her mum Anna about the mission ahead.

A massive mission for one C

harlee McLachlan loves feeding the chooks. The four-year-old helps big brother Alex on his daily chores feeding a menagerie of animals on their 900-cow dairy farm. Sometimes she can’t keep up and falls over – but that is not unusual. Charlee has cerebral palsy, a condition that affects the left side of her brain and the left side of her body. She struggles to put on socks, climb up to the dinner table or keep up with her twin sister Jorja. But surgery in St Louis Children’s Hospital next year could give her new freedom and her family is working very hard to make that happen. The procedure, a selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR), and the family’s associated living and travel costs for around six weeks, will cost around $160,000.

harlee’s mum Anna McLachlan (nee MacPherson) is an Ashburton girl. She went to Netherby School, Ashburton Intermediate and then Ashburton College. She met Charlee’s father Duncan in a Vodafone shop; he left his keys on the counter and she rang him to return them. A week later he offered to teach her how to ride a motorbike ... and the rest is romantic history. The couple were farm managers on a 2000-cow farm at Hinds until two years ago when they moved to North Otago to be partners in a smaller dairy operation. They have two older boys Lane, 15, and

Alex, 12. Anna was delighted to be pregnant, even with twins; the girls arrived nine weeks early on August 12, 2012. Anna was rushed from Ashburton to Christchurch Hospital in the middle of the night where they were born by emergency Csection. The girls spent six weeks in the neo-natal unit, two of those hooked up to machines – Duncan was in the middle of calving and up and down the road like a yo-yo. “They grew like normal little kids,” Anna said. She had an inkling of a problem when Jorja was walking around 11 months. Charlee was standing, but not on flat feet.

The doctor said Charlee would grow out of it, but when that didn’t happen, Anna booked an appointment with a pediatrician, who ordered an MRI. Eight months later she sat shocked in the pediatrician’s office hearing there was a problem. Charlee was diagnosed with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), a form of white-matter brain injury that causes celebral palsy. The twins had just turned two-and-a-half. Anna was in shock. She strapped the kids into their car seats and cried. Then she rang Duncan. In the two years since, the McLachlans have been trekking back

Want to help Charlee? A

lison and Ian at Hinds Mechanical are looking to run a quizco and good friends Leighton and Kylie Nicol are helping generate interest in a calf growing competition. Another Ashburton friend Kylie Curwood is gathering donations from local businesses to put together a package to auction on Trademe. And there is also a Givealittle page in Charlee’s name. Lane and Alex are raising money on their own, selling cones and firewood, and asking their schools to have a mufti day. “We are trying to sell one of our trucks and we put in the ad that the money would be used to help our daughter. A guy ran from a cherry orchard and said he didn’t want to buy the truck but he was interested in giving money to Charlee.” The McLachlans are hoping the calf growing competition will be a chance for dairy farming friends to also help. The heaviest calf as at November 20 will win prizes donated to the McLachlans and the calves sold off for Charlee’s cause. Go to Charlee’s Facebook page for more info. Her mum Lynda is knitting soft toys, her brother Ben is building luxury playhouses to be raffled off.

wee girl and her family and forth to Dunedin Hospital for ongoing medical treatment for Charlee. In order to help Charlee walk, the doctors recommended botox be injected into her calf muscles – it takes about nine weeks for one cycle of the whole procedure and Charlee is in a cast for six weeks to try and keep her heels to the floor. Anna said it was an exhausting process for Charlee and the whole family. “Jorja is just amazing. She offers to help all the time. She is very caring and she is pretty sensitive towards Charlee. If Charlee falls over, Jorja goes back and helps her up, brushes her off.

“But it has a huge effect on everyone. It’s not always appropriate for me to be away from the farm, especially if it’s calving or mating time.” Anna said it was often easier to take Jorja with her but there was also Alex and Lane to think about. “Duncan worries about me. It is very stressful on him and emotionally upsetting and I’m just trying to keep everyone calm.” She said the older boys had been amazing big brothers, helping and encouraging Charlee where they could. Charlee has been through the botox procedure three times. They called off January’s date as Anna

was waiting to hear back from the children’s hospital in St Louis to see if her application for SDR had been successful. The operation could only happen once her muscles had been botox free for three months. They have since been told the operation can take place in March or April next year. Financially it will be a huge mission with around $160,000 needed. They’ve been buying the odd Lotto ticket – $34 million would have been a dream come true this week – and have kicked into fundraising mode. It is the only way to help defray costs. “If we don’t get our minimum of $120,000 the surgery will

not go ahead or we will have to take out a huge loan in what are really tight farming times.” The fundraising quest has been humbling and Anna knows every little bit helps. She has learned that people are both willing and able to help, some a little, some a lot. The whole family will go to America. They’ve had a couple of health scares in the family and Anna says life is precious, plus Charlee will heal faster with her entire support team around her. The physiotherapy that will follow the surgery is intense and hard. Charlee will be in hospital for

five nights, an epidural keeping her pain-free for most of the time. Once the pain is under control she can be discharged but will return every day for four weeks for physio. The family will stay in an apartment in St Louis just down the road from the hospital. The physio programme will continue for six months at home and then Charlee will have an exercise regime she must follow for the rest of her life. The surgery will be undertaken by Dr T. S. Park, who pioneered the procedure in the US 30 years ago. “It cannot come around fast enough. It doesn’t feel real at the moment,” Anna said.

Time on her side Ashlee Strawbridge was part of the New Zealand under-16 A team that competed at the Medibank National Classic last month. By James Ford

James.F@TheGaurdian.co.nz

Ashlee Strawbridge has returned from playing for New Zealand under-16 A at the Medibank National Basketball Classic in Melbourne. The tournament rounded off a turbulent six months for the 14-year-old after fearing her chances of donning the black of New Zealand were dashed in January. The Ashburton College student

strained her medial collateral ligament (MCL) on the second day of the Basketball New Zealand trials at Auckland’s Rangitoto College in January. But, after a remarkably quick healing process, the 14-year-old was recalled by coach Angela Perrott-Hunt and included in the team that headed across the Tasman. Strawbridge’s side began the tournament against Ballarat, falling to a 60-52 defeat before losing

out to Forestville Eagles and Keilor. On the second day the New Zealanders lost out 48-36 to Eastern Mavericks before recording two successive wins over Basketball ACT (49-32) and Dandenong (3932). Strawbridge said two wins from six outings was pleasing, considering the limited playing time the New Zealand under-16 A group had together before the tournament.

“Those teams have been together for two years, whereas we’ve been together for six months,” she said. “We train once a month and they train every week, so that was their advantage on us.” With time on her side Strawbridge is still eligible for the under-16 team in 2017 and is hoping to be selected again next year. Ashburton College girls’ coach Andrew Shepherd said Straw-

bridge’s rapid progression is a product of hard work and a desire for continued improvement on the hardwood. “She trains hard whenever she’s at practice and puts the hours in outside of practice as well,” he said. “Her game has got so much better, her basketball IQ has really improved as well – if she keeps working as hard as she does she’ll keep progressing through the grades.”

Methven churn out another win By James Ford

“It was great to be able to build a solid win, I thought we were very good at converting our turnover ball last night,” she said. “We put together some lovely phases of play that were great to watch, our circle defence were strong on the rebounds and our shooters were clinical.” Meanwhile Southern co-coach Jodene Lowe rued her side’s missed opportunities in a frustrating performance. “We are creating opportunities but we cannot finish them off and you simply can’t win games if your goals don’t go in,” she said. “The College shooters were outstanding, but from a coaches point of view that is what is expected of both your shooters in this grade.”

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Methven, Celtic and Ashburton College recorded wins in week three of the Premier Netball Grade’s trophy round at the EA Network Centre Stadium on Thurday evening.

Methven 26 Hampstead 21 A depleted Methven may have come away with their third win in as many outings in the trophy round, but they certainly knew they were in a battle against Hampstead on Thursday. Undeterred by their heavy underdog tag, Hampstead caused the champions plenty of problems. Methven held an 8-6 lead at quarter time following a highly charged opening 10 minutes, but Hampstead came out firing in the second stanza. Hampstead’s Emma Rosevear and Amy Ferguson were in fine form under the hoop as Cindy Meadow’s ladies outscored Methven by four for a halftime lead of 14-12. But as Methven have shown on countless occasions, they’re a tough side to keep down. Greta Currie’s team set about reigniting and managed to reclaim the lead at 19-18 at the end of the third quarter despite a tireless effort from Nicole Hands in the midcourt. With plenty still to play for, Methven were quick to stamp out any possibility of an upset in the fourth quarter to secure a win by five goals. With three players unavailable, Currie was forced to utilise the depth and versatility of her players, but credited Hampstead for their gutsy effort. “Yes, it was a great win, Hampstead are always a tough team to play,” said Currie. “I thought we were strong right across the court and everyone played their part, especially in the second half when we converted more of our turnover ball.” Meadows said the loss was disappointing, having pushed Methven hard to the end.

“It was really disappointing after the game because we came so close,” she said. “We just didn’t capitalise on the turnovers and Methven are really experienced, and once they got a sniff that they could get us, they did.” Meadows called for more composure should future matches follow the same path, but insisted positives must be taken from the valiant effort. “I think we just lost belief in ourselves and didn’t think we could do it,” she said. “But credit to Methven, they had players missing.

“They have that depth and got the job done.”

Ashburton College 43 Southern 19 With a week off from SuperNet, Ashbutron College produced fast-paced performance to sweep Southern aside in style. The high school girls were quick out of the traps to lead 10-5 after 10 minutes as Southern failed to contain last season’s finalists. Things got worse for Southern in the second quarter as goal shooter Grace Wilson produced another sterling performance under the hoop.

College had more than doubled their lead at 21-10 at half time and were well on course for their second victory of the round. The third quarter was Southern’s best, but were still outscored 10-6 as College centre Kirsten Clarke made major contributions in both attack and defence. College didn’t let up in the final quarter and topped off a fine performance with their best 10-minute spell of the contest, putting up 12 more goals to a well-beaten Southern’s three. College coach Ange Mitchell said the consistent display was pleasing.

Celtic 30 United 21 Celtic claimed their second win of the round over a defiant United side. Celtic led 6-3 at quarter time, but were dominate in the second stanza to leave United behind at 16-6 at halftime. Undeterred, United came back in the third stanza to put up nine goals to Celtic’s eight. The final quarter ended 6-6 but the damage had already been done as a slow start cost Anne Gilbert’s side in the end. Gilbert said her side’s fourth quarter was pleasing, capitalising on more turnover ball than the previous three quarters. “Our performance was mixed. “We were slow sinking our first goal but the girls kept positive,” she said. “I was really pleased with our defensive play throughout the court – Megan McIntyre had a particularly strong defensive game.” Celtic coach Ange Leadley conceded that the greens rode their luck at times in an inconsistent performance. All premier teams will now have a two-week break before the action returns on July 28.

Reynolds quickest in V8 Supercar practice

Dray testing new waters

Holden’s David Reynolds has pipped the field to post the fastest time in opening practice for the Supercars event in Townsville. The Erebus Motorsport driver clocked a fastest lap of one minute and 12.8697 seconds in his last lap of the 45-minute session to top the timesheets yesterday. Reynolds finished ahead of Ford’s Chaz Mostert (1:12.8818) and Holden’s Will Davison (1:12.9065). Ford’s Mark Winterbottom, who won both races at Townsville last year, finished 10th fastest to be the quickest of the championship contenders. Championship leader Jamie Whincup could only manage the 17th fastest lap of the day and also clipped a wall on the left side of his Holden late in the session. Red Bull Racing team-mate Shane van Gisbergen also had an eventful session, spending some time off track and finishing 21st on the timesheets. Holden veteran Craig Lowndes was down in 23rd on the standings while 18-year-old Kurt Kostecki began his stand-in stint for injured Lee Holdsworth with a best lap of 1:15.0438 to finish 26th.

Lewis Dray is preparing for his first race overseas after being invited by Yamaha Australia to race in the Yamaha R3 Cup at Morgan Park Raceway in Queensland next month. The Yamaha R3, which Dray will also be riding in the lightweight class at the NZ National Championships next year, will be supplied by Yamaha Australia as well as technical support. It may be the first time he has competed outside of New Zealand, but Dray has a knack of quickly familiarising himself with tracks. The 20-year-old was crowned the New Zealand 250cc superbike production champion after winning three of his four races at Auckland’s Hampton Downs in March, having never raced at that venue before, and is now out to make the most of his trip across the Tasman. “It’s going to be a great experience to go overseas and ride against overseas riders,” he said. “To see how my riding compares to them over there and where I can improve on as well.”

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

uesday’s pre-season clash against Ellesmere offered Mid Canterbury cocoaches Craig Dunlea and James Jowsey a fine opportunity to assess the talent they have at their disposal for the 2016 Heartland campaign. The Mid Canterbury XV featured a number of new faces, but the youngest to don the green and gold jersey was 19-year-old Tyler Blackburn. After playing one half for the Colts in the afternoon’s earlier fixture, the gifted young halfback replaced Will Mackenzie with 20 minutes to play for the first of what some are touting as many Mid Canterbury senior appearances. Blackburn’s ability on the rugby paddock took him from Mount Hutt College to Timaru Boys’ High School as a 16-yearold, where he continued to develop under the watchful eye of Shane Enright – now at the helm of Celtic. On his return from Timaru, Blackburn elected to play for boyhood club Methven in his first senior club rugby season – to the disappointment of many suitors. “It was a pretty easy call. “That was always going to be where I’d play when I came back,” Blackburn said. Although the surroundings are the same, the results haven’t been, in what has been a tough season for Methven following the mass-departure of title winners last year. But Blackburn remains positive and is keen to play his role as the young team continues to progress. “It can be hard, getting motivated to keep going,” he said. “But when you’ve got a good club behind you like Methven – the supporters, good management and a good group of guys it really helps.”

Despite a fine individual season at club level and training with the preliminary Mid Canterbury squad in recent weeks, Blackburn was still not expecting a senior call-up. “It was pretty good, I was a bit surprised,” he said. “I always knew he’d (Craig Dunlea) be fair and give everyone a go, but I thought I’d just play Colts that day.” Prior to his debut, Blackburn went about learning as much as possible from his senior counterparts and kept a close eye on fellow number nine Will Mackenzie. “He’s (Mackenzie) always good, he’s more of a guy who leads from what he does,” he said. “I’ll just keep trying to stay as close to him as I can, and see if I can learn any tricks off him.” Blackburn felt his own game improved in the company of Hammers stalwarts, but noticed a step up in intensity during his 20 minute spell against Ellesmere. “You definitely feel the change. “It’s a step up, but being with a good bunch of guys lifts your game as well,” he said. “You’ve got those leaders like Jon Dampney, Will McKenzie and people like that around you.” Blackburn will now turn his attention to Methven’s remaining Watters Cup ties against Hampstead and Rakaia, while hopefully doing enough to cement a place in Dunlea and Jowsey’s final Mid Canterbury squad on July 30.

NSW Waratahs defence guru Nathan Grey admits his side will have their work cut out trying to limit the impact of Hurricanes and All Blacks playmaker Beauden Barrett in tonight’s Super Rugby showdown. Five-eighth Barrett is the Hurricanes creative hub and can hurt sides. Asked what the Tahs can do ito negate Barrett’s impact Grey said “It’s quite difficult. He’s the quickest bloke in New Zealand rugby and he he uses It effectively, so he’s got a few weapons in his quiver.” - NZME

Lions eye up the title The race for top spot is heating up, and the Lions have the chance to extend their gap at the top of the pile when they take on the lowly Kings. The Lions haven’t even played finals since 2001, but they are well placed to take home the title this year after winning seven of their past eight games. The Kings have leaked the most tries in the competition, and they appear set for another painful outing. - AAP

Force in disarray The Force are a team in crisis, with their horror on-field results followed by a drama-filled trip last week to Bloemfontein. Wallaby trio Adam Coleman, Dane HaylettPetty and Pek Cowan were all involved in a hotel controversy, with one Force player allegedly urinating in the hallway during the alcohol-fuelled misadventures. On the field, the Force were unlucky in last week’s 30-29 loss to the Cheetahs, and Saturday night’s clash is their last chance of 2016 to notch a win at home. - AAP

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has described the Chiefs’ recruiting of young players in Australia as a ‘smart move’. The Chiefs used their Australian trip to hold a recruitment training session for two dozen eligible youngsters keen to link up with the New Zealand franchise. “Recruitment across professional sport is probably the number one priority. It’s a smart move by the Chiefs.” Cheika’s take was in direct contrast to the Daily Telegraph’s rugby writers, who ramped up the jingoism and described it as “one of the most brazen trans-Tasman recruitment ploys in history.” - NZME

Recruitment ‘smart’

Lions latecomers The next head coach of the British and Irish Lions, widely expected to be Warren Gatland, will again face the challenge of being without England’s leading players at the start of the tour after Premiership Rugby confirmed that its final will take place on May 27, seven days before the Lions’ first match in New Zealand. It underscores the need for a shake-up of the global season, which is being discussed by World Rugby. The Lions play their first match, against a New Zealand Rugby Provincial Union XV, on June 3 in Whangarei. They face the Auckland Blues four days later and the Canterbury Crusaders on June 10. Players involved in the English final are almost certain to miss the opening game and will travel to New Zealand without any time with the squad, who are likely to assemble two weeks before they depart for the tour. The Lions have said they want to avoid players joining the tour late. - Reuters

Bulls still have a chance The Sunwolves are yet to win away from home, conceding more than 30 points in each away game and an average of 54 per match on the road. This is unlikely to be the drought-breaker. The Bulls need a big win to keep their faint finals chances alive and, while they claimed only a slender victory the last time they met the Japanese side, it should be a much different story in Pretoria. - AAP

Sharks good at home Home-ground advantage could prove crucial for the Sharks in this one. The Cheetahs have lost their past six matches away from home, and it will be hard to break that trend against a Sharks side still desperate to secure a finals berth. The Cheetahs escaped by the skin of their teeth in last week’s 30-29 win over the Western Force. - AAP

Crusaders on the rebound

The legacy of Richie By GreGor Paul

By Patrick Mckendry The Crusaders were still hurting three days after their defeat to the Chiefs in Fiji, so with every competition point crucial as they eye a playoff spot, the under-strength Rebels should prepare for a hot reception at AMI Stadium tonight despite the forecasted sub-zero temperatures. Rebels coach Tony McGahan said after his team’s big defeat to the Stormers in Melbourne last weekend that he might not have been able to select 23 fit players such was the injury toll. In the end, he has managed to do so, but only three players have retained their starting positions. He has been able to welcome back veterans Laurie Weeks, Adam Thomson and Colby Fainga’a, plus called in former Blues lock Culum Retallick, but, Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder was in no mood to give any credence to McGahan’s tale of injury woe. “We’re going to come out firing regardless of where they’re at,” Blackadder said. “I don’t buy into any of that. “The psychology games won’t work with us this week.” The Crusaders’ 23-13 defeat in Suva allowed their fierce rivals to overtake them into first place in the New Zealand conference, and maximum points against the Rebels, who began the season well but are now in freefall, will be crucial with only a potentially tough home round-robin match against the Hurricanes remaining for Blackadder’s team. And he didn’t deny a bonus point was being openly talked about. His team were uncharacteristically loose in the wet conditions encountered in Suva last weekend, and the very cold weather and damp conditions are unlikely to be conducive to the Crusaders’ offloading game tonight but, led by lock Sam

Sam Whitelock will captain the Crusaders tonight, in his 100th match for the franchise. Whitelock, the skipper in Kieran Read’s absence and celebrating his 100th match for the franchise, Blackadder’s team will look to put the Rebels in the set-piece vice and squeeze the resistance out of them. “As we team we’re totally focused on what we need to do this week and that’s certainly one of our objectives, there’s no doubt about that,” Blackadder said of a winning bonus point. “We’ve got to go out there and play and give it everything we’ve got. “The next two weeks for everyone are going to be huge, you’ve got to be on top of your game. “It’s not about holding back and seeing what happens.”

A minor concern for the Crusaders – and All Blacks – is loosehead prop Joe Moody, unavailable for this match and potentially the next couple, due to a shoulder injury which is creating pain in his neck and down an arm. Blackadder said it was likely a stinger type injury relating to a compressed nerve. Blackadder has elected to start Alex Hodgeman at loosehead, keeping All Black Wyatt Crockett on the reserves bench, and All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is likely to be keen on frequent updates on Moody ahead of the Rugby Championship given he has become the best performing loosehead in the country.

All Blacks centre Ryan Crotty returns from a calf injury suffered in the final test against Wales, and, fresh from his three recent internationals, Crotty will be relied upon to steady a backline which played with far too much impatience last time out. Blackadder said: “We’ve had three losses this season and that was probably our most disappointing loss of the year. “We’ve lost other games but we’ve really fronted. “We didn’t execute at the weekend.” The Rebels, who beat the Crusaders in round one in Christchurch last season, have been warned. - NZME

If there is an elephant in the room, it’s best to take it out rather than try to ignore it. This seems to have been the All Blacks’ thinking in regard to playing their first season in 15 years without Richie McCaw. Throughout June, they carefully, rather than studiously or religiously, avoided making direct reference to McCaw. There was never, either from coach Steve Hansen, captain Kiearn Read or any of the senior players, mention of trying to get used to life without the man who they would unanimously say was the best All Black in history. The focus was about looking forward: about creating a new chapter and “re-establishing” dominance. It had to be this way because the last thing the current team needs or wants, is the spectre of McCaw looming over them. The All Blacks ethos is about no man being bigger than the jersey; it’s about passing through and handing on. But there was no point in pretending that it was ever going to be easy to seamlessly transition into the post-McCaw era. No player had quite the same presence as McCaw. He was a huge driver in changing the All Blacks from being a talented but emotional fragile side, to being the most mentally robust, disciplined team capable of upholding demanding standards. His influence was huge and really, the only way to effectively move on was to keep his legacy at arm’s length: to shut out the prospect of constant comparisons and questions about the difficulties attached to rebuilding a new team without him. McCaw has himself bought into that plan – knowing that the best way he can help the team in retirement is to stand well back and let them get on with it. A clean sweep against Wales was a cracking start for the current team and the perfect way to show that All Black life goes on no matter who comes and goes. - NZME

In brief

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Auckland a safe haven? BY MICHAEL BURGESS If Kieran Foran decides to resume his league career in the future, arguably the most logical place to do it is in Auckland. After all, Mt Smart Stadium is just a few kilometres from where he spent his childhood in Mt Albert and Ellerslie. Playing league again will probably be the furthest thing from Foran’s mind at the moment, as it should be. Yesterday’s news that he is set to sever ties with Parramatta and take an indefinite break from the sport is the latest chapter in an incredibly sad saga. The 25-year-old has been through some dark times and his personal health and welfare need to be the priority. It almost feels churlish talking about Foran taking the field again, given all that has happened in the last few months. But if he decides to return to professional sport, there are several compelling reasons why the Warriors might become the best choice for him. Firstly, rugby is not really a option for Foran, as his skill-set wouldn’t fit the 15-man code. A move to Super League would also be unlikely, which means the NRL is the only realistic option. But he wouldn’t return to Brookvale, as the club made their choice with Daly Cherry-Evans and that phase has passed. Reuniting with Des Hasler at the Bulldogs would have some merit, as Hasler has had a long association with Foran, and the Roosters, with seemingly end-

Jason Taylor and his Wests Tigers face the biggest test of their new direction and faith in Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses against NRL title contenders Canterbury tonight. Tigers management have been forced to make some tough choices over the past 12 months after their decision to invest in young halves Brooks and Moses, and the 21-year-olds face a crucial examination against the surging Dogs without senior players Robbie Farah, Aaron Woods and James Tedesco. - AAP

Reynolds returns

Kieran Foran less buckets of money and limited options in the halves, have already been touted as an option. But there is a wider issue here. Foran might need to get away from the bad influences around him, the people who have driven him off the rails. Moving from one Sydney club to another wouldn’t change anything, and neither would relocating to Brisbane or Melbourne. There is also the small matter of the drinking cultures at many Australian NRL teams, which unfortunately aren’t a thing of the past. He needs a fresh start, away from the temptations in the Australian metropolises. What better place than New Zealand, away from the frenetic fish bowls that Sydney and Brisbane can be? Foran is also a proud Kiwi, one of the most committed men to

wear the black-and-white V over the last decade. He had every incentive to declare allegiance to NSW and Australia as a teenager but the thought never crossed his mind. Playing for the Warriors, and helping them to achieve success, would give him a chance to leave a legacy for a nation, give a sense of purpose and a wider perspective on his league career. And the Warriors, from a health point of view, might also be a good place to be. The club have put player welfare on top of their agenda, as they demonstrated in the sleeping pills/energy drinks sage earlier this year. The Auckland club took a frontfoot stance on the issue and were prepared to sacrifice two points against the Dragons if necessary. Several Australian clubs have faced similar issues but chosen

to sweep them under the carpet, hoping they go away. It appears that on-field success has been prioritised, with player welfare a fair way down the list. Foran would also be one of the final pieces in the Warriors’ jigsaw and a perfect foil for Shaun Johnson in the halves. He could also be joining the club when all the ingredients, on and off the field, are coming together. Of course, there are caveats. Would his wife and children want to live on this of the Tasman? Would it make sense for Foran to be away from his extended family? And would the Warriors be able to fit him under their salary cap? In the meantime, let’s hope Foran finds his own personal solutions – and some inner peace – soon. - NZME

■ OPINION

Sport a 24-hour entertainment package L ate night live sport on the telly certainly has a whole lot to offer right now (in fact quite a lot of the year), and this week has been a treat. The Austrian Grand Prix turned up yet another chapter in the brilliant Hamilton v Rosberg saga; that’s the one where two ‘team-mates’ truly detest each other, and their body language on the podiums where they regularly stand alongside each other is great entertainment right there. In the last lap at the Spielbergring the Mercedes duo’s cars came together for the third time in five races – an unbelievable stat in F1 – and both drivers once again heaped the blame on each other, while Team Boss Toto Wolff had one word for the whole affair – “brainless”. There’s always another side though; while the sparks are flying and the testosterone is fair crackling on the track between the two drivers, they’re both producing incredible driving feats to try and be the best, which keeps

the Mercedes badge right at the forefront of the competition, as long as they actually stay on the tarmac, and the gentlemen sitting around the board table have to be happy about that. That other highlight from Austria was Seb Vettel’s spectacular exit – one of those giant rear tyres exploded at around 300km/h down the front straight, sending bits of rubber in all directions, and Vettel’s Ferrari into the wall. Somehow he escaped injury, and somehow two other cars flashed past him as he bounced across the track without connecting – spectacular stuff. It’s also Tour de France time again. Somehow the ugly spectre of drugs hasn’t raised its head yet, and hopefully it won’t. Every rider of every team takes all sorts of supplements and uses all manner of recoveryassistance methods; many of them are coasting very close to the wind legal-wise, and probably some of them are pushing

the limits too far, it’s often a matter of interpretation as to what constitutes actual illegal performance-enhancing activities, but it’s unlikely (I hope) that anything on Lance Armstrong’s level is occurring again. Which leaves racing on a reasonably level playing field, which is, night after night, an incredible spectacle as the breakaway groups bust a gut trying for glory, while the peloton stalks them through the glorious French countryside, with every team trying to nurse their sprinters to within a hundred metres of the line to launch their final attacks. Twice this week the finish has come down to a mere couple of centimetres, that’s after 150+ km of racing – that’s just mag-

nificent television. A bit of channel hopping will find you at Wimbledon. That’s where Roger Federer is. For three or four years now a vociferous segment of social media experts have been calling for Roger to hang up his racket, he’s yesterday’s news, done and dusted, and should just ride off into the sunset (with his 17 grand slam titles in his saddlebags). Well I’m not sure what matches they’ve been watching all that time, because Roger is still regularly number two or three in the world, and after seeing him repel a blistering attack from Marin Cilic this week, where at one point he was two sets down, serving at love-30 and 3-5 games down, (that’s a virtually impossible position in any tennis), one would have to think there’s still quite a lot of petrol left in that tank. Even if he doesn’t prevail and add another prized Wimbledon title to his collection, any thoughts of his demise are well and truly off the mark.

Adam Reynolds is expected to be fit for South Sydney’s crucial NRL clash with Brisbane, despite being ruled out of Origin III with a shoulder injury. Reynolds departed NSW’s training base yesterday to return to Redfern to undergo rehabilitation on the injury he suffered in Origin II. The Rabbitohs halfback was ruled out of Origin III on Wednesday, with Matt Moylan drafted into the Blues squad. - AAP

Cavendish closing in Mark Cavendish cemented his status as the Tour de France’s greatest sprinter when he claimed his 29th stage victory in the race in the sixth leg. The 142nd triumph of his professional career put the Briton in outright second place on the list of all-time Tour stage winners ahead of Bernard Hinault (28). Cavendish is now five shy of Eddy Merckx’s record. - Reuters

Brother plays his part Gavin Cooper knows the Queensland jersey he’ll wear on his State of Origin debut belongs to his brother as much as to him. Cooper’s dream of a rugby league career appeared over as a teenager when his older brother Dustin – an ex-Melbourne, Newcastle and Cronulla player – convinced him to come to training at Queensland Cup team Redcliffe. Cooper never looked back, earning NRL stints at North Queensland, Gold Coast and Penrith before returning to the Cowboys in 2011. Since then Cooper has won a premiership. Now, at 30, he’ll earn a Maroons debut that seemed the last thing possible over a decade ago. - AAP

Scott in no hurry Queensland prop Matt Scott admits a changing of the guard is inevitable for the Maroons but he’s in no hurry to call time on his State of Origin career. Corey Parker will step away from representative football at the end of this year’s series, with Wednesday’s game three in Sydney to be the lock’s 19th and final Origin appearance. Veteran back Justin Hodges called it quits last year while Johnathan Thurston is considering calling time on his Origin career at the end of next year’s series. - AAP

Markov set to ﬁre Richmond fans can expect plenty of speed and excitement from AFL debutant Oleg Markov, his teammate Anthony Miles says.

Ko well off the early pace Lydia Ko isn’t used to looking so far up the leaderboard and will know she has a lot of ground to make up if she is to contend for this year’s US Open. The world No 1 shot a 1-over 73 at San Martin yesterday, mixing three birdies with four bogeys. It left her in a share of 52nd, nine shots off the lead held by South Korea’s Mirim Lee who

carded an impressive 8-under 64. Lee held a three-shot lead over South Korean Amy Yang, American Cristie Kerr and Australia’s Minjee Lee. What will encourage Ko is the fact a lot of the other big names struggled, including Brooke Henderson (+4), Sei Young Kim (+3), Lexi Thompson (+2) and Stacey Lewis (-1). Defending champion

In Gee Chun was level with Ko on 1-over par. The San Martin course largely favoured those who played in the morning, with the exception of Yang who hit the low round of the afternoon with a 5-under 67. Ko started on the back nine and was 2-over after four holes. She recovered with birdies on the 14th and 15th to make the

turn even par but immediately dropped a shot on the first. She made up ground with a birdie on the par-five third but dropped another shot on the seventh. Ko hit only 11 greens in regulation, which contrasted with Anna Nordqvist who hit every green in regulation, a first in the history of the US Women’s Open. - Reuters

Griezmann double sends France into final By Mitch PhilliPs Antoine Griezmann’s double fired France into the Euro 2016 final as an emotional smash-andgrab 2-0 win over a territorially dominant Germany yesterday ended 58 years of tournament suffering at their hands. Griezmann drove in a penalty at the end of the first half after a needless handball by Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger. The striker then poked the ball home for the host nation in the 72nd minute following a blunder by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to set up a meeting with Portugal in Paris on Sunday. World champions Germany dominated in terms of possession but their lack of a deadly finisher cost them and the razorsharp Griezmann, whose double

took his tournament-leading goal tally to six, was the difference. “We are extremely happy and it was beautiful to live it,” said Griezmann. “But there is still one match left. We have to keep our feet on the ground and from tomorrow let’s prepare for this final.” It was the first time France defeated Germany in a competitive match since the 1958 World Cup, a drought that included defeats in the semi-finals of the 1982 and 1986 World Cups and the quarter-finals two years ago. Their reward is a place in the final where they will be strong favourites to emulate the teams of 1984 and 1998 who won the European and world titles respectively on home soil. “I have played in many finals,

most of them on the pitch. “Now I’m on the bench,” said France coach Didier Deschamps, captain of the victorious 1998 squad. “We deserve it. We played the best team in the world and we knocked them out. “Yes, we suffered, but we never gave up. I always trusted my players and this is their reward.” Germany will look at the statistics and wonder how they failed to score. After defender Jerome Boateng’s handball had given Italy a lifeline in the quarter-finals, their captain’s similarly inexplicable high hand swung the game France’s way when they most needed it. “There weren’t too many things that went wrong, we were the better team out there,” said

Germany coach Joachim Loew. “In 2012 or 2010 the sides were better than us but today that wasn’t the case,” he added in reference to semi-final defeats by Italy and Spain. “We tried everything in the second half. “We created a lot of pressure and had chances towards the end but that’s football.” The result was the same as when the teams met in a Paris friendly in November but that night will be remembered for the death and destruction caused when Islamist militants struck at the stadium and other locations around the city. Eight months on, Les Bleus will return to the Stade de France in different circumstances, carried by a wave of national and international goodwill. - Reuters

Flat pitches are more to blame for prolific run scoring than bigger bats, David Warner says. The Australian opening batsman is at odds with former captain Ricky Ponting’s call to limit bat sizes for tests because he believes it gives batsmen an unfair advantage. “The wickets are pretty much dictating the test arena at the moment and a lot of batters are scoring,” Warner said. - AAP

World Cup draw The next steps on the path to Russia 2018 have been laid out for the All Whites after the official draw for Stage 3 of Oceania qualifying for the FIFA World Cup was conducted yesterday at OFC headquarters in Auckland. Anthony Hudson’s men will go in as the side to beat after winning the OFC Nations Cup – which acted as Stage 2 of the qualifying process – last month in Papua New Guinea. New Zealand have been drawn with two countries they defeated on that march to the title, New Caledonia and Fiji, in Group A of the home-and-away series. - NZME

Euro ‘just the start’ Wales will move above England when the new FIFA rankings are announced after Euro 2016. Playing in their first finals since 1958, the Welsh reached the last four of a major tournament for the first time and are expected to move up close to the top 10 countries in the world rankings. Star playmaker Gareth Bale is among those who believes the success story will continue. “We’ve grown in confidence, we’ve grown in stature and I think that we’ll be more respected,” he said. - Reuters

Bright future ahead A horse considered to be a top staying prospect is on a winning role over the shorter trips. Carnaby is showing his versatility and he will shoot for his third consecutive mile victory when he lines up in the Rangitikei Tyre Centre Ltd Handicap at Awapuni today. “His last two wins have been very good and I don’t think he’ll have too much trouble in the higher grades,” trainer Tony Bambry said. “He’s been working well and he’s very bright and happy.” - NZME

In brief

■ RUAKAKA

Mare chasing cup berth

Cameron hoop to follow A potent combination will again command the undivided attention of punters at Ruakaka today. Champion jockey Matthew Cameron has long had a formidable strike rate riding for trainers Donna Logan and Chris Gibbs and the Karaka hoop is set to star in her colours this weekend. “Donna has been an amazing supporter of mine and we’ve had a great run with horses like Volkstok’n’barrell and Hasselhoof in the last couple of years and I was unbeaten on Habibi earlier on,” Cameron said. “It’s always a little bit quiet for their team at the start of winter, but then these Ruakaka meetings start rolling around and they always seems to get one of those good ones coming through about now.” Cameron has three rides for Logan and Gibbs at Ruakaka and each has strong winning claims. Fortius looks poised to clear

Jockey Matt Cameron Cameron last week conceded the premiership to arch rival Lisa Allpress, confirming he had a holiday for Hawaii booked for later this month, but that hasn’t taken anything away from another impressive season for the Taranaki-born jockey. A bag of four wins at Matamata on Wednesday took his season tally to 150, the third time he

has reached that mark for a season, a feat he shares with Lance O’Sullivan. It also took his tally for the past five seasons past 750 wins, having fought out each of respective premierships, pipped by Opie Bosson then Allpress before winning the past two. “It’s been a great year. “I’ve been able to tick off a few milestones. “I got my first Group One win for Te Akau and then ended the season with four for them, with Xtravagant’s two, Risque and Heroic Valour - and I was able to post 1000 wins in New Zealand,” he said. “There were some difficult parts, but there have been plenty of positives, especially with Xtravagant and Hasselhoof. “Xtravagant is easily the best horse I’ve ever ridden and I’d love to keep the ride for his spring campaign in Melbourne.”- NZME

Rain to suit Rockfast Former champion New Zealand trainer Mark Walker has his fingers crossed for track conditions at Kranji to suit his in-form Singapore Derby hope Rockfast tomorrow. “All he needs is a bit of rain to get the sting out of the ground,” he said. The Te Akau-raced four-yearold won his two lead-up races in impressive fashion. - NZME

McDonald strikes again James McDonald has enjoyed more success in England with victory aboard the two-year-old Nile Empress this week. “Everything went really well,” the champion Kiwi jockey said. “It was good to ride a winner for Hugo Palmer. The track is bit like the tracks at home, it is flat and easy to ride.” - NZME

maiden grade in the third race, the Advance Build ITM North 1600, while promising juvenile Bruce Arthur looks a strong chance of going one better than his debut second in the next race, the Tavistock Syndicate 1000. The combination also has an excellent chance of taking out the feature Northpine Waipu Cup (1600m) with To Be Sure, another who resumed with a second placing last start. “I’ve ridden him quite a few times now and won a couple on him. “I tend to share the riding on him with Sam Collett and I’ve got the job this week,” Cameron said. “He went well the other day and he should be a good chance. “Donna said she thought I’d suit Fortius too. “He needs that bit of bullying to bring out his best and he looks like he’ll be hard to beat on his run the other day.”

A strong showing from Platinum Command on her home track today is likely secure a trip south for the Awapuni mare. Victory in the Rangitikei Tyre Centre Handicap would boost her chances of a start in the Gr.3 eStar Winter Cup at Riccarton on August 6. “She probably needs a few more rating points to get in,” trainer Lisa Latta said. - NZME

OUR VIEW

When the going gets tough, farmers keep going Sue Newman

necdotal evidence tells us that things are tough out there in the rural sector, but the reality might be a bit different. On Thursday and Friday Ashburton’s rural co-operative ATS held its annual in-store open days. Yes, those days are all about the co-operative and its members showcasing what they can offer the community and yes, there are plenty of special buys on offer. However, if you’re hitting the wall financially, you’re unlikely to be tempted to a rural field day amongst your peers. But this year’s field days were among the biggest and best the co-operative has seen. Farmers and farm families turned out in huge numbers and they spent money. If you’re in the red, then no matter how good the deals, if they’re not essentials you don’t buy. But the big crowds indicate the rural sector is still in good heart. Its people might be a bit battered and worn and yes, they may not have the ready cash that they had a couple of years ago, but clearly they’re not quitters. The mood, by all accounts, was pretty upbeat and the business was brisk. And that says a lot about rural resilience. Farmers are accustomed to riding out the highs and lows of their business. If they’ve been in the game for a few years they know that everything is cyclic, what earns a good return today will inevitably dip in fortune in the future. But they’re in business for the long term and they’re committed to riding out the highs and lows of that business. Days like those held by ATS are about more than just business, they also provide an opportunity for rural people to talk to rural people, to celebrate the good and to find support when the going is tough. No-one understands rural folk like rural folk. And while there will no doubt have been harrowing stories shared during the ATS days, the co-op’s team says there was plenty to celebrate as well. Farmers haven’t given up, they’re still getting out there and they’re still doing business. And that’s important, because it’s their business that keeps the rest of us in jobs.

NZ post Brexit I

t seems reasonable, in view of the Brexit upheaval and the insidious progress of Donald Trump, to wonder how the reverberations from these significant events might affect us in far-off, MMP-governed, Pacific Islands paradise, NZ. Could it just be that the current “housing crisis” – even if not recognised by the Housing Minister himself – might be a starter for those disenchanted by the present state of capitalism and all it stands for? With the average cost of a still modest dwelling in Auckland about to pass the “magic” $1,000,000 figure – a price that not so long ago would have bought you a modest mansion with built-in butler, these days, will hardly give you an edge over your neighbours. With many spending night after cold night in cars, keenly supported by those anxious to draw attention to this disheartening, “housing development”, the issue is grabbing hearts, minds and headlines to the point where it could even foment unrest. Despite being publicly invited to agree that this sort of desperation for a roof of any sort over the head does, indeed, stem from a crisis in the availability of “affordable” homes, the beleaguered Dr Nick Smith has denied it reveals any such thing. He blames, primarily, the Auckland Council and its refusal to go beyond artificial boundaries and allow building, literally, in pastures new. Last weekend, at the 80th anniversary “bash” to mark the founding of the National Party, the PM, “Sunny” John Key, announced – with fanfare – the imminent investment in the building industry to create these much talked of but

EYE ON POLITICS

seldom seen, “affordable homes”, which would mean saloon cars and 4WD wagons could revert to their primary “people-carrying” role, while their recent guests found real beds on which to rest their weary heads, as well as those of their children. “Sunny” John’s apparently generous gesture has been ritually rubbished on all sides, described variously as a mere drop in the ocean, bucket, sea, or even, saucer. Phil Twyford, Labour’s robust answer to Nick Smith, and far less stressed, has been particularly scornful – and it has to be said he does a good line in scorn – pointing out that the amount actually needed to deal with the ongoing crisis, the very existence of which “tired eyes” Smith still vehemently denies, is nearer $20 million than a risible, one. Now comes Labour’s 100th anniversary gathering, at which the current Labour leader, Andrew Little, is said to be going to announce the building of no fewer than 100,000 houses over the next few months, and further into the golden future his party is promising us. There will, therefore, be no further need for people to take up permanent residence in their automobiles. If he can not only promise such good news but explain convincingly how this remarkable achievement is to be accom-

plished, “Sunny” John Key will soon look a lot less cheerful. As for Dr Nick Smith, his possible reaction doesn’t bear thinking of. Despite such a glowing undertaking there will be widespread cynicism and disbelief. Sounds too much like an extravagant political promise with an election only a bit over a year away. However, failure to “sort out” – and to be seen to be so doing – the housing debacle remains an obvious issue for serious dissension and criticism of politicians apparently in permanent denial there is even much of a problem. Elsewhere, the horrific treatment of very young children, usually sufficient to kill them, and administered by crazed people who were supposed to be looking after and protecting them, remains sickening and apparently unresolved. Is there no-one out there who has serious clues as to how this blot on the nation could be handled and, as far as possible, eradicated? Our record on this issue is the worst in the so-called “civilised” world. In general, children seem to be at the end of the queue for concern and care. They should not be. Then there is the issue of “children in poverty”, an expression often over-used by excitable members of the media, but still enough truth in it for it to require committed attention. Finally, in this negative survey of Aotearoa and the possibility of its leading to unrest, or strident opposition, at least, there is the bogey of immigration, so much the lightning rod of the Brexit vote.

Geographically, we enjoy the benefit of being beyond the reach of even the leakiest boat, but that does not mean we couldn’t increase our annual quota of “official” refugees. Refugees, though, are controversial – “They take our jobs”. “We haven’t enough houses to accommodate our own people.” “They have unpleasant social habits” etc etc. So where are the Kiwi demagogues likely to exploit this concoction of concern? Winston Peters has fulfilled that role bravely and mostly on his own for a long time now. As a practising demagogue his time may have passed, but I wouldn’t rule him out entirely. He does, though, need assistance from fresher firebrands. John Minto is hardly in that category nowadays having himself completed a long, and often painful, career on the barriers of protest throughout the land. Do we possess a Nigel Farage who could take on the immigrant portfolio and campaign for such people to be returned to their countries of origin? I could name a few but to do so might be thought libellous, so had better not. However, I am sure some of the scenarios I have touched on, could well persuade a potential agitator to emerge from the woodwork and, with suitable training from the masters, take up the baton of protest passed to him by Winston and the trailblazers of yesteryear. I am not, of course, advocating such developments, merely highlighting the possibilities. After all, it is worth noting that no-one seems beyond the barbaric tentacles of Isis, far-off, Pacific Islands paradise or not.

Snipers fire ‘ambush style’ At least two snipers opened fire on police officers during protests in Dallas on Thursday night, killing four officers and injuring seven others, police said. Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters the snipers fired “ambush style” upon the officers. Police later said in a statement that a suspect who was in a shootout with Dallas SWAT officers was is in custody and a person of interest had surrendered. They said a suspicious package was being secured by a bomb squad. The gunfire broke out around 8.45pm Thursday while hundreds of people were gathered to protest fatal police shootings this week in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suburban St. Paul, Minnesota. The protesters had gathered after a Minnesota officer on Wednesday fatally shot Philando Castile while he was in a car with a woman and a child in a St. Paul suburb. The aftermath of the shooting was livestreamed in a widely shared Facebook video. A day earlier, Alton Sterling was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers. That, too, was captured on a cellphone video. Video footage from the scene showed that protesters were marching along a street in downtown, about half a mile from City Hall, when the shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.

Schumer coming to NZ Amy Schumer has confirmed she’ll make her first New Zealand appearance at the end of the year.

The 35-year-old stand-up is known for her risque brand of comedy in hit movie Trainwreck and Comedy Central Show Inside Amy Schumer, as well as a series of live specials. It will be her first New Zealand show.

Protesters march along 5th Ave in the Manhattan borough of New York. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott released a statement saying he has directed the Texas Department of Public Safety director to offer “whatever assistance the City of Dallas needs at this time.” “In times like this we must remember – and emphasise – the importance of uniting as Americans,” Abbott said. The search for the gunman stretched throughout downtown, an area of hotels, restaurants, businesses and some residential apartments.

The scene was chaotic, with helicopters hovering overhead and officers with automatic rifles on the street corners. “Everyone just started running,” Devante Odom, 21, told The Dallas Morning News. “We lost touch with two of our friends just trying to get out of there.” Carlos Harris, who lives downtown told the newspaper that the shooters “were strategic. It was tap tap pause. Tap tap pause.” The gunshots in Dallas

came amid protests nationwide over the recent police shootings. In midtown Manhattan, protesters first gathered in Union Square Park where they chanted “The people united, never be divided!” and “What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now!” A group of protesters then left the park and began marching up Fifth Avenue blocking traffic during the height of rush hour as police scrambled to keep up. - AP

Typhoon kills two

Cosby’s bid denied

A powerful typhoon lost power yesterday after slamming into Taiwan’s eastern coast, bringing ferocious winds and torrential rains to the area. It has killed two people and injured 66 others. Planes and fishing boats were grounded, while more than 15,000 people were evacuated. Typhoon Nepartak made landfall yesterday morning in Taitung county before weakening to a mediumstrength typhoon, the island’s Central Weather Bureau reported. The typhoon’s center was located 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) east of the city of Kaohsiung early Friday and was moving northwestward at a speed of 13 km (8 miles) per hour, the bureau said. The typhoon was likely to continue to slow, but disaster response officials said they remained concerned that the heavy rains would

A judge yesterday denied Bill Cosby’s bid to force his sexassault accuser to testify before trial, ruling prosecutors worked within the law by using police statements as a stand-in for her at his preliminary hearing. Cosby’s lawyers argued they should’ve been allowed to cross-examine accuser Andrea Constand at the May 24 hearing because her decade-old statements about the 2004 encounter raised more questions than it answered. But Judge Steven T. O’Neill said that a 2013 change in state court rules cleared the way for prosecutors to use those statements and other evidence in lieu of forcing Constand to take the witness stand before trial. Prosecutors applauded the judge’s decision. “The defense operated around a mistaken belief that they had a right to confront the victim at this stage,” District Attorney Kevin Steele told reporters afterward. “They do not.” Cosby’s lawyers said they’d appeal to the state Supreme

trigger floods and landslides in the rugged terrain. Li Wei-sen, Taiwan’s Central Emergency Operations Center spokesman, said by phone that the typhoon was packing winds of up to 163 km/h (about 100 miles an hour). About 390,000 households had been affected by power cuts, most of them in Pingtung and Taitung counties, according to Taiwan’s emergency management service. - AP

Court, which is considering another case involving preliminary hearing testimony. They said the 78-year-old Cosby’s constitutional rights had been “trampled upon once again.” The judge, as he ruled, said, “One side sees this as an efficient way to handle cases. The other sees it as a violation of due process.” He seconded the findings of the judge in Cosby’s preliminary hearing, saying prosecutors had presented enough evidence to send the case to trial. Cosby is charged with felony indecent assault and accused of drugging and molesting Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home. Authorities reopened the case last year after learning he had acknowledged in a deposition that he had given Constand pills and then engaged in sex acts with her. They also considered the dozens of other women who have raised similar claims in the decade since Constand went to police in 2005. - AP

Jean Claude down under The Muscles from Brussels, aka JeanClaude Van Damme, is coming to Australia for the first time in almost two decades.

New PM will be female

Ban on greyhound racing slammed

By Victoria craw Vote leave campaigner Michael Gove has been forced out of the running to become the next UK Prime Minister, leaving Home Secretary Theresa May and Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom in the running. The winner will become the country’s second female leader after Margaret Thatcher and will be announced on September 9 after a postal vote from 150,000 Conservative Party members around the country. Mrs May won the support of 199 MPs in the second round of voting with Andrea Leadsom taking 84 votes and Michael Gove 46. It’s a blow for the Vote Leave leader who had previously knifed Boris Johnson in order to run himself. Mr Johnson got his own revenge by throwing his support behind Mrs Leadsom. The result sets up an intense battle for the top job between the two women who come from different sides of the EU campaign. Mrs May voted Remain and kept a low profile throughout but has banked on her experience as Home Secretary to portray an image as a steady and capable leader who can unify the party. Mrs Leadsom was a high-profile Vote Leave voice and has said Article 50 should be triggered “as soon as possible” and has secured the support of controversial UKIP donor Arron Banks. The news came as Mrs Leadsom was forced to defend her background amid claims that she had misrepresented her economic expertise on her CV. Her supporters have previously claimed despite never serving in cabinet she had 25 years in financial services with experience managing “hundreds of people

Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom are in the running to become the next UK Prime Minister. and billions of pounds” during long stints at Barclays and Invesco Perpetual. Yesterday she went on a media blitz to say her CV was “entirely accurate” and she had never claimed to manage funds herself, only the teams that managed the money. “My CV is incredibly varied and it’s all absolutely true,” she told the BBC adding that she wanted an “honourable campaign.” Mrs Leadsome has also come under fire for refusing to publish her tax returns but said she was taking a stand for colleagues to ensure such actions did not become expected. She promised to do so if she reached the final two of the leadership race. Her decision to publish the CV follows a blog from former Invesco Perpetual colleague Robert Stephens called “Was Andrea Leadsom really such a city hotshot?”

“She did not manage any teams, large or small, and she certainly did not manage any funds,” he wrote. Mr Stephens claimed he prompted her into editing her Wikipedia page to change the title Chief Investment Officer to Senior Investment Officer and Head of Corporate Governance which was her actual job at the company. “Her actual job was to work (sometimes part-time) on “special projects”, mostly for the Chief Investment Officer. These included for example negotiating pay terms for senior fund managers. Towards the end of her time, she advised on a couple of governance issues,” he wrote. Ms Leadsom said she did not remember working with him. Despite attempts to put the issue to rest with her latest CV, it still leaves some questions unanswered, including why it says

“Deputy Financial Institutions Director” at Barclays on her CV and Financial Institutions Director on her official biography. Past roles in family-linked companies have also been omitted, The Guardian reports. Prior to the 23 June vote Leadsom had made much of her economic insight as proof there would be no disastrous consequences from Brexit. “As someone who spent 25 years working in finance, four years scrutinising the Treasury as a backbencher, and then two years first as City minister, now as energy minister, I’ve seen at first hand the economic cycles, the disasters and triumphs,” she wrote in UK financial paper City AM. “These experiences tell me that the UK has an outstanding future as a free trading global leader if we vote to leave the European Union on 23 June.” - Reuters

Turnbull looks likely to retain power

Malcolm Turnbull appears to have held power in the Australian government.

PHOTO AP

Incumbent Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull looks set to hold power with at least 76 of the 150 seats in the Australian parliament, the National Business Review reports. In a late surge of postal votes, the Coalition has closed the gap with Labor in four undecided seats and extended its lead in another. Two of those seats are on Queensland’s coast and the others are in Adelaide and Perth. Labor still holds a slim lead in the four closest undecided seats but this is diminishing as vote counting continues. Labor leader Bill Shorten has not yet thrown in the towel but has conceded that Mr Turnbull will “more than likely” form the next government. The Coalition stands to gain up to 77 seats if it takes two of the undecided seats. - AAP

A veteran greyhound breeder in NSW says a lot of innocent people are going to lose their livelihoods because of the state government’s decision to ban the multi-million-dollar greyhound racing industry next year. Paul Wheeler, Australia’s largest greyhound breeder and owner, says the government has underestimated the number of people who will be out of a job when the ban comes into effect. “I’m almost at the end of my working life but my son is in his mid-30s with a young family, what does he do? “How does he replace his income?,” Wheeler said on Sky Sports Radio yesterday. “He’s done nothing else but this all his life and so have some of the staff I’ve got. “I’ve got two young girls working for us, they’re teenagers, this is their first job from school and they’ve both got loans and got a car. “They’re terrified. “They don’t know what they’re going to do.” Wheeler, a third-generation family business owner based in Young, says the entire industry is being punished for the actions of few. “There’s a few people (who have) done the wrong thing. “We’re all prepared to admit that, but there’s a lot of good people out there and a lot of people are going to be hurt real bad,” Wheeler said. He believes the report of the special commission is flawed, saying in his 50 years in the industry he’s never heard of the so-called prominent greyhound trainer who was interviewed by the commission and stated that live baiting was widespread. “I don’t know where they’ve got their advice from,” Wheeler said. “A lot of stuff that’s been said in this commission, in my opinion, is hogwash,” he added, after saying the report incorrectly noted that the majority of US states have banned greyhound racing. - AAP

Speech doubts cause dollar rise BY JONATHAN UNDERHILL The New Zealand dollar gained, making it a standout against a broadly stronger greenback, after Reserve Bank deputy governor Grant Spencer flagged concerns over house prices without announcing any immediate measures to tackle the problem, raising doubts the bank will cut interest rates again. The Kiwi rose to 72.24 US cents as at 8am in Wellington, up from about 71.50 cents just ahead of Spencer’s speech late Thursday. The trade-weighted index rose to 77.36 from 76.72. That’s the highest since May last year and well above the average 71.6 level the Reserve Bank is projecting for the third quarter. Spencer told the Institute of Valuers that the Reserve Bank may introduce more stringent

macroprudential tools before the end of the year, but would be helped if the government chose to revisit the impact that tax advantages on residential housing and migration policy are having on demand. Some traders had expected more concrete steps to be announced, mitigating the impact lower interest rates would have on the housing market and giving the central bank more confidence to cut the official cash rate at its review in August. “After the bank has clearly restated its concerns regarding NZ house price appreciation, the market may now feel less confident that the RBNZ is on the verge of another OCR cut,” said Kymberly Martin, senior market strategist at Bank of New Zealand. The Kiwi advanced to 96.65 Australian cents, the highest in

BY TINA MORRISON Global uncertainty weighed on the first New Zealand wool auction for the new 2016/17 season, denting prices and buying demand. Strong crossbred second shear wool, which represented the majority of fibre on offer at yesterday’s North Island auction, fell to $4.85 per kilogram from $5.40/kg at the previous week’s South Island auction, and 13 per cent lower than the year-earlier level, according to AgriHQ. The latest price is 4 per cent below the five-year average. The New Zealand dollar has strengthened amid global market volatility following the UK’s vote to leave the European Union last month, making New Zealand exports less attractive. Analysts said wool buyers were cautious and bought only enough wool to cover their immediate requirements, with just 54 per cent of the 7,500

wool bales cleared at auction yesterday, the lowest level since a 51 per cent clearance rate in April 2012. “The first auction of the 2016/17 season had prices falling further because of soft global demand,” said AgriHQ analyst Shaye Lee. “The European demand that was partly supporting the China fall faded amid the Brexit referendum, as adverse currency movements

undermined purchasing power of the buyers, as well as creating uncertainties around the future market direction.” Wool with high levels of vegetable matter was severely discounted because it makes it difficult for manufacturers to process, she said. The next sale on July 14 includes about 5,600 bales from the South Island. -AP

The US dollar index gained after data from payroll processor ADP from the US economy added 172,000 jobs in June, beating estimates, and stoking optimism the official non-farm payrolls figures due on Friday in the US will show the world’s biggest economy added 180,000 jobs last month,

Since the end of the Cold War, the world has enjoyed a period of “globalisation” that has been bullish for equities and bonds. Globalisation can be defined as the integration of national economies through greater free trade. The European Union (EU) is the largest trading bloc in the world. The unexpected Brexit vote in the UK could lead to the unravelling of an EU already laid low by crises. The only sure bet in the current environment is that the level of market volatility is likely to continue. It could be a long goodbye before the UK actually leaves the EU. No one knows how long it will take, or even what the new European order will look like. The current market volatility is clouding a more positive view of the broader global economy. The

US economy is isolated to some extent by what’s happening in the UK/EU area and with the US Federal Reserve now unlikely to raise interest rates this year, will get a boost by ongoing low funding costs.

to benefit from a diversity of exported goods and services, record levels of tourism and immigration and a booming construction sector. New Zealand’s advantage is its core markets now being in the Asia Pacific region, the fastest growing region in the world.

SITUATIONS VACANT

Senior Hairstylist Wanted Here at Goldpine, we are proud of being not just Kiwi-owned, but family-owned. We are the ‘Outdoor Timber Specialist’, run by and focused on rural people. We are committed to working as a team, to deliver value to our customers and achieve our company and individuals’ success.

Vivo Hair Salons are looking for passionate, experienced Senior Stylists to join our team. We will consider full-time and part-time stylists.

Everyone loves great value teamed with the best quality product for the job and as one of our Outdoor Timber Specialists we will give you the products and knowledge to ensure our customers get both!

At Vivo we get excited about beautiful hair and believe that the best way to look after our clients is to look after our stylists. We love to have fun, are always positive (even on bad hair days!) and love to celebrate achievement.

What will this involve? • Ensuring our outdoor timber customers, either in store, over the phone, or on site if needed, are provided with specialist advice and product options to ensure we deliver the best value for their project. • Assisting in the yard; preparing customer orders, ensuring stock levels are maintained and presented with pride.

Vivo have salons across New Zealand and we offer regular education and training events as well as monthly competitions and incentives in salon. You will definitely earn more with Vivo! If you are passionate about hair, love to create amazing work for your clients and have an ambition to want to be the best stylist you can be, call us today! It will be the best career move you will ever make!

It would be great if you have some experience in either sales, customer service or fencing. Consideration will also be given to those who have previous experience in any role where they have demonstrated they are a confident communicator. Being able to relate to the farming / rural community or timber users will also be important. For ensuring the after sales processes are completed and assisting in the yard attention to detail, basic computer skills and physical fitness for lifting timber will be required. A full drivers licence is preferred, if you have not had forklift experience in the past training will be provided.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Feeling overwhelmed? It’s a positive sign that your life is big and broad, rich and full. You’ve been ambitious. You’ve challenged yourself. Accept the anxiety that goes with this state. It will be far more comfortable than fighting it. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Often the mental picture is better. Then there are times when it’s not, when the real life version blows it away. Today those instances will be well worth the risk required, so take a chance. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): What you’re expressing has value, whether or not you’re right. Recap all communication so as to be sure you’ve been heard and understood. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You may not get it finished today, but if you work on it a while you’ll get closer. Bring a friend or colleague in, too, while you’re at it. There will be no big glory in finishing alone. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Multitasking will rob you of your mindfulness. Instead of doing many things at once, do one thing at once. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When it’s your turn to relax, take it. Kick back, daydream, binge on media, do the thing that gives you the feeling like you’re one long, stretched out sigh. This is healthy. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): In order to make yourself happy, you might have to get past some of the ideas you have about who you’re supposed to be. Anyway, a lot of those ideas are based on other people’s expectations. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Everyone is different. A party might energise others, while you might find it to be a lot of work. Both are true, but since you can only be in your own body, you may as well cater to that. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your thoughts may seem to ping chaotically around in your head, but once you hold a pen in your hand they will order themselves quite nicely. Make lists; gain clarity. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The Italian proverb suggests, “One who walks in another’s tracks leaves no footprints.” It’s a good idea if you’re doing something illegal, but in all other cases wouldn’t you rather make an impression? AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Love is: getting to know another person’s triggers so you don’t accidentally press against the wrong one. If you’re going to cause another person pain or pleasure, you’d rather do it mindfully. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You owe your success to saying “yes,” but you could also make a case for “yes” being your downfall. For now, just make sure you’re not being taken for granted.
