More security cameras and increased, multi-agency collaboration with the police are being considered to help crack-down on crime in Ashburton’s central business district.

An approach will be made to police, Safer Ashburton and other key agen-

cies about developing a combined community safety strategy, the district council announced yesterday.

The move follows a review of how Ashburton’s CCTV cameras are used and of community safety, by independent consultants InToto Projects.

Concerns were raised about latenight violence and vandalism in the

CBD following a series of high profile incidents in recent months.

One brawl saw a police officer requiring stitches after he was assaulted.

Five things that may interest you

Sharknado

An American family had a surprise package land in their backyard – a baby shark. A CBS6 News report says the young shark fell from the sky and landed on a concrete path in the Virginia Beach family’s backyard recently. The mother, Sue Bowser, told CBS6 it was likely killed by an osprey that dropped the 33cm dogfish shark into their yard as it flew overhead.

“There’s a little mark on his side where the talons probably went in, and it’s a little bloody on the side where the talons had poked him.” The family have put the shark, which typically resides in nearby coastal waters, in their garage freezer. “I would like to preserve the shark because a lot of people have asked about it and I just think it’s so unique,” Mrs Bowser said.

She also plans to show it off to family visiting from out of town in coming weeks.

Praise for Aussie male stars

NEWS OPINION WORLD BUSINESS YOUR PLACE SPORT RACING PUZZLES FAMILY NOTICES TELEVISION

Aussies are scoring Hollywood roles because they possess a quality now rare among their US contemporaries – masculinity, says veteran actor Michael Douglas. The Hollywood heavyweight says too many American actors are obsessed with social media and their careers are suffering as a consequence. Aussies Chris and Liam Hemsworth, Jai Courtney and Hugh Jackman are hot property in LA and starring in some of the biggest action movies released in recent years. “Clearly, it breaks down on two fronts. In Britain they take their training seriously while in the States we’re going through a sort of social media image conscious thing rather than formal training.

Many actors are getting caught up in this image thing which is going on to affect their range. With the Aussies, particularly with the males, it’s the masculinity,” Douglas told The Independent “In the US we have this relatively asexual or unisex area with sensitive young men and we don’t have many Channing Tatums or Chris Pratts ...”

Name change British singer Natalia Kills has changed her name to Teddy Sinclair three months after she was caught up in a headlinegrabbing scandal that led to her dismissal from the New Zealand version of The X Factor.

The star was sacked from the panel of the reality TV show along with her husband Willy Moon, after they were accused of bullying a contestant in a scathing critique on the programme earlier this year.

Tall Ferns to play in town

Team effort for safety

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Hosting an international basketball match at the EA Networks Centre will pave the way for more high profile sporting events in Ashburton, according to the centre’s manager.

The Tall Ferns women’s basketball team will host Japan in Ashburton as part of a threetest series on August 9.

It will mark their first home series outside of an Oceania Championship in almost 10 years.

EA Networks Centre man-

ager Steve Prescott said he was “stoked” that the stadium will host the match. He is hoping it will attract a crowd of between 300 to 500 people.

If the match is a success, it will open the door for more big ticket events at the stadium, he said.

“We’ve just got to make sure we do our end of the bargain the way they want it,” he said.

“I think once we’ve done that, and I’m pretty sure we’ll do that pretty easily, then it showcases the place and showcases what can be offered.”

The basketball match would give organisers some traction to approach other high profile sports teams, such as the Canterbury Tactix, he said.

“This one’s basically a testing point to see if we can cope with the demand,” he said.

The stadium will also host the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Netball Tournament in October.

The series with Japan marks the final stages of the Tall Ferns’ build-up towards the Oceania Series against Australia, with the winner of that se-

ries earning direct entry to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Head coach Kennedy Kereama said playing games at home in front of fans and stakeholders is important to the growth of the game.

“We are blessed with some amazing players on our roster, players who are enjoying great success for clubs and colleges all over the world, and the opportunity to inspire our up and coming junior players by playing in front of home crowds will be a real boost for us,” he said.

Top dog fetches $5800 at Ashburton sale

By MicHelle nelson michelle.n@theguarDian.co.nz

A good dog is invaluable on a farm and the point was proved by demand at the 59th annual working dog sale yesterday.

Held at the Tinwald saleyards, the event attracted 67 entries of which 62 went up for auction.

Miserable sleety conditions did little to deter perspective buyers, who had travelled from as far afield as the North Island, attracted by the calibre of dogs offered in the catalogue.

Prices held firm on the past couple of years, and the sale achieved 85-90 per cent clearance. A classy heading dog made top dollar, fetching $5800 and the best of the huntaways knocked down for $4000.

PGG Wrightson livestock manager Greg Cook said the demand for good working dogs remained high despite declining sheep numbers.

“It was a good sale, we were happy,” he said.

Buyers were looking for keen dogs under good control, and huntaways with plenty of noise, and those on offer didn’t disappoint.

Mayfield farmer Fraser Tasker’s four-yearold huntaway Oak ran well despite the wet weather and skittish sheep, earning him $3000.

From P1 The council will seek requests for proposals to provide CCTV cameras in the CBD, which will likely be monitored at the Ashburton Police Station, the release said.

Existing cameras are currently leased by the council.

Concerns over a lack of late night transport options have also been addressed.

Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield yesterday said a minivan run by the local taxi company will run from a dedicated pickup point every Saturday night to get late night stragglers home.

The plan was to have either the ambassadors or Maori wardens, and at times police, assisting in managing any crowds that gather to ensure the safety of both drivers and other members of the public, he said.

“I have had many conversations with mayor Angus McKay and we have agreed to have this plan operational as we enter the summer months,” he said.

“The one very clear message that everyone agrees on is that Ashburton should be a safe and vibrant environment no matter what time of day or night people frequent the town CBD.” Other recommendations outlined in the review included developing an education and awareness programme to reduce alcohol related harm associated with sport and co-ordinating existing patrol services.

Mr McKay said the report suggested a multi-pronged approach to strengthening community safety.

“By collaborating with other agencies, we can make the most of what is already being done and work together on issues that need more attention,” he said.

Health care to transform

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton is on its way to having its own integrated health alliance.

Health care providers, leaders and professionals from all over the district got together earlier this week for a workshop aimed at furthering the establishment of a local Service Level Alliance (SLA).

The SLA will be part of the Canterbury Clinical Network (CCN), a collective alliance helping to transform health care services. It is intended to provide a platform for local health providers and community leaders to lead the redesign

■ CHCH THEFTS

of Ashburton’s health system.

Invitations for the Wednesday night workshop were sent out to 38 key groups across Ashburton’s health and social services to establish a group of local influence. This included general practice teams, community service providers, Ashburton Hospital and Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) personnel, Ashburton District Council, consumer groups and Maori and Pacific provider groups.

Media were excluded.

In a statement provided to the Guardian, Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay welcomed the 78 attendees to the workshop,

thanking them for participating in the future direction of health services in the district.

“This Service Level Alliance is bringing innovation and opportunity to produce the best medical model of care and improving patient outcomes,” Mr McKay said.

CDHB chief executive officer David Meates then addressed the crowd.

CCN communications and project co-ordinator Meagan Draper said the main topics discussed at the workshop were communication across the health sector in Ashburton, the use of technology and the greater utilisation of telemedi-

Cylinder cupboard fire

cine, workforce and capacity initiatives, integration of health services – particularly in mental health – and sustainable after hours care.

Ashburton GP spokeswoman Dr Charlotte Cox said the meeting was useful as all Ashburton providers were able to get together to discuss problems and come up with solutions.

Following the workshop, the CCN is calling for nominations for membership of Ashburton’s SLA. Attendees are invited to nominate themselves or others before July 22.

An inaugural Ashburton SLA meeting is scheduled for next month.

Lingerie thief uncovered?

Police may have uncovered a lingerie thief in Christchurch after a search warrant turned up a large amount of women’s underwear matching the description of recently stolen items.

The warrant was executed yesterday as part of an ongoing investigation into reports of women’s lingerie and underwear being stolen from washing lines and inside homes at three properties in the eastern suburb of Burwood.

Detective Sergeant Ross Tarawhiti said the thefts from three residential properties in Achilles Street were reported to police last month.

Mr Tarawhiti said no other items aside from the lingerie had been reported stolen.

Despite today’s find, no one has been arrested in relation to the thefts.

“Our staff spoke with the Te Puke dog owner on Tuesday. The pitbull type breed of dog has been seized and remains under council control,” he said. Mr Begley said whether the incident occurred inside the house, or outside on the property, was yet to be established. All the people at the centre of the dog biting incident were from the same household, he said.

■ ASHBURTON WRITERS’ GROUP

Record entries for writing comp

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Writers’ Group has been inundated with a record number of entries for its annual short story and poetry competition.

Members spent a day this week reading the 120 entries comprising works of poetry and short fiction.

Each member of the panel of six read through every entry, giving each a mark out of 10, resulting in a final score out of 60 for each of the works.

The top works will be submitted to an independent judge, Janet Benfell, who will select the winners, who will then be presented with book vouchers and certificates at a mayoral reception next week.

Secretary Rae Magson said the panel was impressed with the quality of entries.

They were assessing them on a range of attributes including descriptive use of language, use of metaphor for the poetry entries, and originality.

Ashburton Writers’ Group members (from left) John Atkinson, Veronica Ligteringen, Rae Magson, Marion Perkins and Fay McQuarters examine entries for the group’s annual competition this week.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 070715-AK-027

Fellow member Veronica Ligteringen added it was also about how the storyline and language touched readers’ hearts.

Ms Magson said it was heart-

ening to receive record entries, and she hoped it was evidence of a growing passion for writing among Mid Canterbury young people. There was a new

category for 14 to 18-year-olds added this year, however that alone could not account for the higher number of entries.

The competition, for primary

and secondary age pupils, has been held for about 10 years.

Last year entries numbered 97, which was the highest number of entries until this year.

■ FIRE SERVICE

In brief

Complete overhaul ‘not needed’

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.Co.nz

Mid Canterbury firefighters have told the Government they do not want a complete overhaul of the fire service.

Submissions close today on the government’s review of fire services across the country.

There are three proposed options up for debate, ranging from minor changes to a complete overhaul.

Option one proposes minimal changes to the status quo and would provide more support for volunteers.

Option two would see a coordinated delivery of urban

and rural fire services while also establishing new rural fire districts.

The third option is the most drastic and would see one national fire service established.

That option would also mean local councils would lose their authority over rural fire services.

Ashburton chief rural fire officer Alan Burgess said the second option appealed to him the most. The current system is “not too bad” but there is room for improvement, he said.

However the biggest barrier to the fire service was funding.

“If they don’t get the fund-

ing sorted out I think they’re going to struggle to make any of those things have any sort of longevity, including what we already have,” he said.

“The fire service has acknowledged for a long time that there are issues with the funding streams put in place, and those things definitely need to be addressed.”

Principal rural fire officer Don Geddes said a submission had been made on behalf of the Ashburton District Council.

The council is also favouring an amended version of the second option with more local government involvement than

originally proposed, he said.

“The key issues for us are, we certainly recognise that our guys attend events other than fires and they need some powers and protections at those things,” he said.

Funding inequities between the fire service and rural fire services also needed to be addressed, he said.

Internal Affairs Minister Peter Dunne said about 70 submissions had been received so far. Mr Dunne has met with firefighters from around the country and said he was surprised by the appetite for change they had expressed.

Shoestring chefs face off in the kitchen

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Four of Ashburton’s wannabe tops chefs faced off in the ultimate test of cooking prowess yesterday.

The Shoestring Chefs competition was the brainchild of Marie McAnulty, co-ordinator of the Sharing Everyday Experiences and Drawing on Skills (SEEDS) programme at Safer Ashburton.

More than 60 people watched as Ashburton Mayor Angus

McKay, Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew, Presbyterian Support manager Jackie Girvan and radio host Phill “Hoops” Hooper faced off in the kitchen.

Each contestant was provided with a mystery box of ingredients from which they had to whip up a main and dessert, all in front of an audience at the Tinwald School Hall.

Members of the public donated an item of food which went to the St Vincent de Paul food bank and then tasted each

creation, before they cast a vote for their favourite team.

The contestants had their own sidekicks: Mr McKay paired up with Katrina Pritchard from Safer Ashburton, whipping up apple sandwiches; a dish Mr McKay called “everything in a pot”; and then a cornflake salad for dessert.

Mrs Girvan and Dianne Smith served stir-fried mince and pasta with an apple and pineapple crumble.

Ms Goodhew and Think

First project co-ordinator John Hobbs, the “John and Jo duo,” were more than quietly confident their potatoless shepherd’s pie and crumble would win the contest. But it was not to be: Hoops and helper Toni Sowman won – despite Hoops’ early worry that he had “no hope of winning” – with meatballs and tomato sauce, and a tasty apple crumble.

Organiser Ms McAnulty hoped to make the competition an annual event.

A man accused of a grisly Queensland murder, in which a Napier father was cut into pieces and stuffed in a chilly bin, has been committed to stand trial. Police found the remains of Campbell Paterson’s body after a public tipoff led them to bushland southeast of Cairns, in the state’s Far North region, on November 20. Cairns resident David Leslie Hickson, 32, was charged with Mr Paterson’s murder and interference with a corpse, after police executed a search warrant at a Cairns home, a week after the body was found.

Hickson appeared via video link in the Cairns Magistrates Court this week, where he declined to enter a plea to the charge of murdering Mr Paterson and interfering with a corpse. He did not make a bail application and was remanded in custody. The date of the trial has yet to be determined.

Manhunt under way A Tauranga man accused of wounding with intent was on the run last night, after leaping from the dock during his court appearance. A swarm of people were at Tauranga District Court for Phil Rudd’s appearance yesterday, when Cohen Ratcliffe managed to do a runner from the neighbouring courtroom. Ratcliffe, 27, of Tauranga, was accused of wounding with intent. But he leapt from the dock about 11am, only moments after pleading not guilty to the charge. The judge had just ordered him to be remanded into custody. Ratcliffe leapt over the dock and burst out the doors to discover a swarm of media outside, waiting for the end of the AC/ DC drummer’s sentencing. “We thought he was going to yell or something but he just took off,” a photographer at the court said.

“The security guys chased after him yelling ‘stop, stop’ but he got away.” Police searched the city all afternoon for the escapee, with a couple of sightings reported in the Tauranga Central area. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants. - NZME

■ TENANCY LAWS

■ RUDD IN COURT

Insulation plans welcomed

Home detention for Rudd

By Isaac DavIson anD Lane nIchoLs Tenants’ rights groups have welcomed plans to insulate all rental properties and make smoke alarms mandatory but want greater security of tenure for long-term renters priced out of home ownership.

Housing Minister Nick Smith announced plans yesterday to strengthen residential tenancy laws, including requirements for landlords to provide smoke alarms and insulation, and declare the standard of insulation on tenancy agreements.

“The new law will require retrofitting of ceiling and underfloor insulation in rental homes

■ FAULTY ELECTRICS

over the next four years,” Dr Smith said.

“The health benefits of this will be reduced hospitalisations from circulatory and respiratory illnesses, reduced pharmaceutical costs, and fewer days off work and school.”

The requirement would apply from next July for Government-subsidised social housing, and from July 2019 for all other rentals including boarding houses.

However, nearly 100,000 properties would be exempt where it was physically impossible to retrofit insulation.

Smoke alarms would be compulsory from July 2016.

“Regulations will make land-

lords responsible for ensuring an operational smoke alarm is in place, and tenants responsible for replacing batteries or notifying landlords of defects,” Dr Smith said.

“The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment will have new powers to investigate and prosecute landlords for breaking tenancy laws as part of these reforms, particularly where there is risk to the health and safety of tenants.”

The changes would also ensure tenants could take concerns to the Tenancy Tribunal without fear of retaliatory evictions from vindictive landlords.

Officials estimate 180,000 privately tenanted rental prop-

erties will require insulation retrofitting and 120,000 homes will need smoke alarms.

The average cost of retrofitting both ceiling and floor insulation was about $3300.

Mandatory smoke alarms were expected to save three lives each year.

Tenants’ Protection Association (Auckland) co-ordinator Angela Maynard said the changes were common sense and would help thousands of Auckland tenants keep safer and warm.

“It’s way past when it should have happened and not before time. Any landlord who hasn’t provided smoke alarms in my opinion is remiss.”

The complex was closed after a fire in 2007 and had re-opened in May. St James spokesman Steve Bielby, principal trustee for the Auckland Notable Properties Trust - the building’s developer - said a 10m by 10m area on the floor of the main auditorium was damaged.

Luckily, it was the side of the theatre yet to be restored.

Fire investigators had completed their work about 1pm and concluded a “non-suspicious electric fault” caused the fire, said Mr Bielby.

“We have been through the entire building and inspected most of it. It is bandage on top of bandage on top of bandage and when the bottom bandage falls off, all the top bandages come off, too.

“It’s not as bad as we thought but it is really disappointing.”

Asbestos testing for most of the morning delayed fire investigations, but the building was given all the all-clear of the harmful substance.

Members do their bit for blood bank Midland Masonic District Grand Master John Kinvig (left) and Lodge Erewhon Master Brian Reodique (right) look on as lodge member Jebb Sostino gives blood at the Ashburton MSA. Lodge members were among those to give blood when the New Zealand Blood Service visited town yesterday. Mr Reodique thought it was a great opportunity for the lodge to help out. Lodge secretary Noel Lowe said about 14 members showed up to donate, so many that the service was “overwhelmed”.

Embattled rocker Phil Rudd has failed to escape conviction in court yesterday, with Judge Thomas Ingram handing down a sentence of eight months’ home detention to the drummer for three criminal charges.

In Tauranga District Court yesterday, Rudd received the sentence having already admitted to charges of threatening to kill an employee, and for methamphetamine and cannabis found in his home during a police raid last year.

Rudd’s lawyer Craig Tuck has lodged an appeal to the sentencing.

Rudd, 61, appeared tired and expressionless as he stood in the dock while Judge Ingram delivered the sentence, after refusing an application for a discharge without conviction.

In ordering Rudd stay confined to his Harbour Drive, Tauranga, home, Judge Ingram also banned him from taking any drugs not prescribed to him.

Rudd, who has claimed his old band mates from AC/DC has shut him out since he was arrested last year, had earlier pleaded guilty to the charges in April.

This came after police dropped charges of attempting to procure a murder, which caused an international media storm that Mr Tuck, said generated more publicity around the band than the death of its former lead singer Bon Scott.

In May, Rudd told Australian media his previous bail conditions still would have allowed him to rejoin the band on its Rock or Bust tour, but the group had ignored his pleas.

The band confirmed Chris Slade would be drumming when it played in Auckland and Wellington in December.

Comments over missing hearing aid offend Comments from an Auckland hospital that patients should “leave their valuables at home” after a patient’s $2000 hearing aid went missing in her sleep has offended the hearing impaired community.

The family of 101-year-old Helen King, who is now in palliative care, say her $2000 hearing aid was stolen from her ear as she slept in a hospital bed at Middlemore Hospital.

Police are investigating the complaint but Counties Manukau Health deputy chief executive Ron Pearson said an internal investigation found the item was lost, not stolen.

Mr Pearson also said: “If patients have valuable items we always encourage them to leave them at home or alternatively give them to ward staff who will ensure the item is kept in a secure location.”

Audiologist Julie Hill said hearing aids are not “valuables” they are essential tools that people need to hear.

“It’s your ears,” she said. “You don’t check your ears in with the nurse when you come into hospital.

“In hospital, you need them to hear the nurse and to hear the doctor telling you your diagnosis and to participate in your health care.”

Mrs King’s son, Richard, said the aid went missing the night before his mother was discharged.

A woman had intently questioned the family about the device, rousing their suspicions that it may have been stolen.

Police said investigators were waiting for CCTV footage to be provided by Middlemore Hospital.

■ GUILTY OF MURDERS

■ BLIND FOUNDATION OF ASHBURTON

17 years behind bars for stabbing

BY ROB KIDD

Celebrating 125 years Blind Foundation of Ashburton committee members (from left) Eleanor Weir, Ian Forbes and Betty Wilson, with president Denis Swaney, were recognised for their continued commitment at the Blind Foundation’s 125th Anniversary celebrations yesterday.

■ WEATHER

Polar blast starts to ease The blast of polar air that pelted parts of the North Island with snow this week has started easing off - but Aucklanders are still in for the coldest night of the year this weekend.

Forecasters say much of the country will continue to shiver through single-digit lows despite the icy Antarctic weather system easing off today.

A ridge of high pressure moving across from the Tasman Sea should bring drier and sunnier conditions - but light winds and clear skies overnight will lead to more cold mornings across New Zealand.

In Auckland, weekend temperatures overnight could be colder than the bitter snap in June.

MetService meteorologist Rob Kerr said the coldest night of the year in Auckland was on June 24, when -1°C was recorded in Ardmore and the airport recorded 3°C. “We could see those numbers beaten this weekend,” he said.

Early on Saturday morning, the mercury could dip to 3°C in the city - but it could get even colder in other areas, with a low of 1°C expected in Pukekohe.

Mr Kerr said such temperatures were “not every year, but not uncommon”.

“It’s cold, but it’s not breaking any records.

We don’t see it every year, but if we look at it over a five-year or a 10-year period we do see it.”

The cold blast brought more snow to the central and lower North Island yesterday, closing roads in a number of regions.

Mount Lyford in North Canterbury received 50cm of snow, Hanmer Springs received 35cm, and Coronet Peak received 15-25cm. - NZME

An man who stabbed two men to death at a south Auckland pawn shop in a “senseless and unprovoked” attack will spend at least 17 years in jail.

Zarn Tarapata, 26, was found guilty of the murders of Paul Fanning, 69, and Paul Matthews, 47, after a May trial in the High Court at Auckland and was yesterday sentenced to life imprisonment.

The jury rejected the defence that he was insane at the time of the killing and sided with the Crown, which argued he was using methamphetamine, was delusional and acted out of anger and jealousy.

Justice Pamela Andrews said the tragedy caused by Tarapata was “plain and enormous”.

“The loss and grief to both families is absolutely unimaginable,” she said.

Tarapata’s partner and mother of his three children Tamara Cassie worked at Ezy Cash with the victims and was at the premises on July 19 last year.

Minutes after dropping her off, the defendant walked through the store into the lunch room where he slit Mr Matthews’ throat and stabbed him 15 times before stabbing Mr Fanning six times.

Both bled to death on the floor as Tarapata fled in the car with his partner and their kids.

He was found later that night near his family’s home in Huntly.

“Part of the real tragedy is just how senseless and unprovoked these killings were,” Crown prosecutor Josh Shaw said.

“Mr Matthews and Mr Fanning had done nothing to invite the attention or anger of Mr Tarapata. To the contrary, there is some information before the court that suggests they had always been generous to Ms Cassie and her family.”

Tarapata had provided letters of remorse to families of the victims but Mr Shaw said they were reluctant to accept the “bitter pill”. Mr Matthews’ sister Julia Matiu said her brother was a “gentle giant” and the thought of him calling for help had been a huge burden on her.

Justice Andrews imposed a minimum period of imprisonment of 17 years, before Tarapata will be eligible for parole.

Clock ticking for democratic council Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he decision to return Environment Canterbury to full democracy in 2019 has set the clock ticking for what must be a seamless and transparent transition.

This column has consistently supported the staged move from a council of government-appointed commissioners to a council formed by popular vote.

It has done so because democracy was abandoned in 2010 to kick-start a moribund and politicised council and time needed to be taken to ensure that progress continued.

It must continue to ensure the new, fully-elected council inherits an organisation capable of putting the needs of the region, its people and the environment before politics.

The new batch of regional councillors should inherit a welloiled, well-working machine; a former fixer-upper that someone competent has gone ahead and fixed up.

We will elect our first elected councillors next year. The six will work alongside seven government appointees and they will help govern the council toward full representation.

They will be there to contribute to the discourse and we will expect them to tell us whenever they see something they believe is wrong. And they will be there to ensure the council conceives of plans – and makes decisions – that will stand scrutiny when a fully elected council is returned in 2019.

The first elected council will want to know for certain that everything that happened when democracy was set aside was sensible, responsible and in the region’s interests.

If not, you can be sure a council of councillors from competing urban and rural constituencies will challenge and even unravel what has come before. Politics will return.

In its current form – and without the perceived urban bias of old – the council has made great progress on water, land and air plans. But then, it has done so without democratic oversight.

Five years is a long time without full democracy. The transition must ensure that sacrifice was worth it.

YOUR VIEW Bruce Jenkins

Bags, sugar You’re right, relying on consumer behaviour will not change our dangerous reliance on plastic bags (Good intentions won’t bag a plastic alternative).

Making people pay for them might, but clever businesses will find ways to absorb council or government levies by including them in their prices.

We’re not talking about a lot of money here and it could easily be hidden in the price of the goods that people who already use recyclable bags also pay for.

The same problem arises with the argument that sugary foods should be taxed.

That’s a great idea, but supermarkets would probably be happy to make some products loss leaders to get people through the door.

They do it now with fizzy and chocolate specials.

CRUMB

Sex education Parents should be alarmed but not surprised that Family Planning supports new sex education guidelines that advocate children being taught how to be good lovers by giving and receiving pleasure from sexual intercourse.

The guidelines will encourage children to experiment and to be promiscuous. Why does the Government listen to Family Planning and not to parents, who know what is best for their children?

Family Planning promotes comprehensive sex education that promotes fornication and that results in unplanned pregnancies, abortions and STDs. Parents don’t want this for their children. Family Planning should be kept out of our schools. Overseas studies reveal

by David Fletcher

that abstinence-based sexuality education that teaches abstinence before marriage and faithfulness in marriage, reduces unplanned pregnancies, abortions and STDs. The Minister of Education should explain to the community why this programme is being imposed on our children. Who will protect our children from Family Planning?

Ken Orr (Abridged) Mr Orr is Right to Life spokesman. – Editor Ministry of Education deputy secretary student achievement Dr Graham Stoop responds: Mr Orr is mistaken.

The guidelines in no way advocate what he is suggesting.

The guide was produced with the help of schools, education groups and professionals, and health experts.

We’d heard from schools that they wanted to be able to equip their students with the right skills to navigate relationships with others and to keep themselves safe.

Sexuality education is a compulsory part of the health curriculum. But schools decide how they teach it, in consultation with their school community.

We’ve also produced a brochure for parents that tells them what their children are likely to be taught, and at what age, and how parents can express their views.

The guidelines can be found at http://health.tki.org.nz/Teaching-in-HPE/Policy-guidelines And parents can find the brochure at parents.education.govt. nz/primary-school/learningat-school/sexuality-education/ Family Planning New Zealand declined to respond to his letter.

Tips on how to get the dad-bod Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

A

few things have tickled my fancy and my gag reflex this week.

Wednesday morning at around 5.30am I had a sneezing attack. I call them attacks because I usually have about 10 in a row. I don’t mind because it feels quite nice sneezing. And you know what they say about the seventh sneeze eh?

I extract a tissue from the box in my studio and all of a sudden I have half a dozen little squares of paper with numbers on them on the desk.

One Peter Mac had gone “old school” on Friday and drawn a competition in his show this way.

I really must show him the random number generator app on my phone.

Carol from the sales department tells me she had to stuff her mitt into the box and draw out the lucky number.

As I am writing this I find myself thinking I hope she is one of the 80 per cent.

And I’m glad it wasn’t Peter firing his hand into the tissue box. What am I on about now you ask.

Well apparently a quarter of all Kiwis often forget something in the bathroom – washing their hands.

Eighty per cent of females are using a sink after the lavatory, while men tend to be far more lax.

Just 72 per cent of males say they wash their hands after every toilet trip.

But it’s not just toilet etiquette that is letting New Zealand down in the cleanliness department.

One in four Kiwis aren’t showering or bathing each day, with 19 per cent admitting that they shower on alternate days.

Eww! Something else that tickled my fancy was the survey result that said a ‘dad-bod’ was sexier than a chiselled/cut, Channing Tatum style body.

So what exactly is a dad-bod?

■ A body resembling a man who lives a sedentary lifestyle, flabby – usually comes with a keg gut. Body resembles his personality; dull, lifeless and very conservative.

■ Once was in shape, but clearly has lost most athletic properties. Best suited for sitting at a desk chair, possibly doing ones taxes.

■ The dad-bod says, “I go to the gym occasionally, but

I also drink heavily on the weekends and enjoy eating eight slices of pizza at a time”.

Unfortunately I have embraced this concept with a little too much vigour!

Here’s some tips on how to get a dad-bod: ■ Reward yourself for waking up each day with a milkshake.

■ Buy a gym membership and when they give you the tour, take a good look around ... it’s the last time you will see it.

■ If you do manage to make it back to the gym and actually do a workout, proceed directly to McDonald’s following the session and purchase two Big Mac combos because “you’ve just earned them”.

■ Do one push up, breathe heavily and open a box of Cadbury Favourites.

■ Start running but immediately injure your entire body and take a year off.

■ Lower your testosterone level a bit by losing another negotiation with a twoyear-old.

■ AUSTRALIA

In brief

Economic ‘green shoots’ aiding Australian jobs The latest jobs figures have helped to take the edge off recent negativity shrouding Australian financial markets caused by global worries over Greece and China.

Employment Minister Eric Abetz believes there are “green shoots” in the economy that are blossoming into new jobs.

A modest 7300 jobs were added to the workforce in June, building on the 40,000 jump in the previous month.

At six per cent, the jobless rate was better than the 6.1 per cent expected by economists, albeit coming off a downwardly revised 5.9 per cent in May. It was the first time unemployment had been below six per cent in just over a year.

“It is reassuring to see the unemployment rate relatively stable yet again with more jobs being created,” Senator Abetz told reporters in Hobart yesterday.

He said the government is rolling out new infrastructure and has signed free trade agreements with “huge job growth potential”.

Labor’s employment spokesman Brendan O’Connor said the jobless rate was still too high and the government should be focusing on a credible plan to tackle unemployment.

Instead it is spending $80 million on a trade union witchhunt, he said in reference to the

The declining Australian dollar is expected to make Australian housing even more attractive to foreign buyers. CoreLogic RP Data senior research analyst Cameron Kusher says housing is looking expensive to many Australians, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne, but not so for foreign buyers. He said the decline in the Australian dollar has made Australian housing even more attractive for offshore buyers, particularly for markets like China, Singapore and Hong Kong where investors may be looking not necessarily for short-term capital growth but to “park their money somewhere else”.

The unemployment rate in Australia has dropped below 6 per cent for the first time in a year.

royal commission where Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has been giving evidence. “(Senator) Abetz should spend less time exercising his hatred of the union movement and more time on a plan to create jobs,” he said in a statement.

The jobs numbers helped the share market recover from an initial sell-off, again dogged by the ongoing worries over sliding equity prices in China and another steep drop in iron ore

prices. Likewise, the Australian dollar rebounded from a sixyear low.

It remains to be seen if the data helps to improve consumer confidence after taking a tumble last week on worries that the problems in Greece and China will flow through to the Australian economy.

The modest employment rise in June was the result of a 24,500 increase in full-time employment being partly offset by

a 17,200 fall in part-time jobs.

David Lane, a director of business consultants Pitcher Partners, said the move from part-time to full-time employment is positive for the overall health of the economy, and if this trend continues, it should add stability to many parts of the economy.

“This trend may in part reflect an increase in business confidence following the federal budget,” he told AAP. - AAP

Fitness tracker novelty wearing off Deepak Jayasimha’s fitness tracker is now with his fatherin-law in India, where it sits unused. Annabel Kelly foisted hers off on the kids. Virginia Atkinson took hers off to charge the battery and hasn’t picked it up since February.

Although sales of Fitbit and other fitness trackers are strong, many of their owners lose enthusiasm for them once the novelty of knowing how many steps they’ve taken wears off. One research firm, Endeavour Partners, estimates that about a third of these trackers get abandoned after six months.

A health care investment fund, Rock Health, says Fitbit’s regulatory filings suggest that only half of Fitbit’s nearly 20 million registered users were still active as of the first quarter of 2015.

“The question for investors is

Buy a bach

how long the market will continue to grow at this rate, and whether Fitbit can execute on growing engagement before ... the number of devices sold per year reaches saturation,” Malay Gandhi, a managing director at Rock Health, wrote on a blog.

Abandonment affects all manufacturers of fitness trackers, which are relatively cheap at about $100 and are commonly given as gifts. Fitbit gets

the spotlight because it started trading publicly last month and has 76 percent of the US market share by revenue, up from 64 percent a year earlier, according to the NPD Group.

Investors and analysts are bullish on Fitbit’s prospects. Its stock value has more than doubled since the initial public offering. Analyst William Power at Baird Equity Research said Fitbit had room to grow world-

wide, as only a quarter of its revenue came from outside the US last year. Power also wrote that Fitbits remain popular among employers and insurance companies looking for ways to keep people healthy.

Fitbit is also profitable, earning $132 million last year on revenue of $745 million.

Fitbit now has competition from Apple Watch and other smartwatches that do what fitness trackers do and more, such as showing news updates and boarding passes for flights.

Fitbit said it intends to remain a market leader through new features and services to boost user engagement and revenue. The company said it keeps users motivated by offering ways to compete with friends and family and awarding virtual badges for hitting fitness milestones.

Battery scam Australians have sent large sums of money to a Dubai bank account in a bid to buy shares in lithium battery and electric car maker Tesla, but have been scammed.

WA’s Consumer Protection said at least five West Australians had sent $120,000 to Larosa Group in recent months and it is understood more than $2.4 million has been sent by victims across Australia.

In one case, a WA couple lost $45,000 after they searched on the internet on how to invest in Tesla and filled out an online form on the Larosa Group website. They were contacted the same day by someone claiming to represent the company who advised them to transfer $28,000, then a month later by another person who urged them to make a further payment of $17,000. No documents confirming the share purchase were ever sent to the couple.

Flag taken down The House of Representatives in the southern US state of South Carolina has voted overwhelmingly to remove the Confederate flag from the Capitol grounds. The bill achieved its required two-thirds majority after a 13-hour debate, media reports said. The votes followed the bill’s passage by the Senate this week, three weeks after a shooting at an African American church killed nine people in Charleston, South Carolina.

Photographs surfaced after the slayings of the white 21-year-old charged with the killings, Dylann Roof, showing him posing with the Confederate flag and prompting a drive to take it down from the state Capitol grounds. The flag was flown by separatist Southern states during the 1861-65 US Civil War, which was fought over slavery.

Many consider it to be a racist symbol.

Chaotic scenes in Tube strike London’s roads, buses and overland trains struggled to cope during morning rush hour as commuters battled into work in the face of London Underground’s first strike shutdown since 2002.

Many of the major trunk roads into the capital were logjammed on yesterday and there were chaotic scenes at bus stops and overland train stations as passengers sought alternative ways to get to work on time.

Twitter users posted pictures of overcrowded train platforms and long queues outside the stations while one commuter described scenes of “absolute carnage” on the buses.

Taxi firm Uber reported demand was “off the charts!” with fares almost trebling as a result.

Drivers are staging the 24hour walkout in protest at pay and plans for a new 24-hour service due to start in September.

Commuters rushed home ahead of the start of the strike at 6.30pm on Wednesday, as unions mounted picket lines outside stations and Transport for London (TfL) began reporting delays.

A full shutdown came into force yesterday, and TfL has warned that disruptions to the

British capital’s public transport could continue.

Transport for London, the local government organisation responsible for most aspects of London’s transport system, said it would lay on 200 extra buses and more bicycle rental hubs, although it also posted walking maps of London on its website.

“Londoners who own a bike are encouraged to cycle to work,” the network administrator said in a statement.

To reach the Wimbledon tennis tournament, which ends this weekend, TfL said it was organising a taxi-sharing service from the nearest train station.

Prime Minister David Cameron’s spokeswoman called the strike “unacceptable and unjustified”, while London Mayor Boris Johnson said it was “politically motivated”.

New all-night Underground services are due to start in September and drivers have been offered a pay increase, which was rejected by union leaders.

London Underground’s managing director Mike Brown said an all-night Tube service would support jobs and boost the city’s economy, adding that the offer had been “remarkably fair”.

Longoria Down Under Eva Longoria and her media mogul squeeze Jose Antonio Baston are heading to Australia.

The Desperate Housewives star will be in Sydney later this month to judge a Specsavers eye wear competition, with the winner flown to Los Angeles to meet her on the set of new television show Hot & Bothered.

Longoria has visited Sydney and Melbourne several times but this will be Baston’s first trip Down Under.

“It will be my boyfriend’s first time over there, so it’s going to be a lot of fun,” she told AAP.

“I am going to act like I’m the Australia expert.”

Longoria has been with Baston, who is the president of Mexican TV network Televisa, since 2013.

Hot & Bothered is Longoria’s big return to the small screen after her role as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives finished almost four years ago.

Longoria will direct and produce Hot & Bothered as well as playing the lead role of Spanish soapie star Ana Sofia Calderon, who cannot speak Spanish.

Five injured in Pamplona bull-run Five people have been injured as thousands of people raced alongside six fighting bulls in the third bull-run of Pamplona’s San Fermin festival.

Navarra Hospital chief Dr Javier Sesma said the five were treated for bruises but no one was gored in the 8am run yesterday. An Australian was gored Wednesday and two Americans and a Briton were gored in the first run Tuesday.

The nationally televised run sees people racing with six bulls, each weighing some 500 kilograms, along a narrow 850-metre course from a holding pen to the city bull ring. Yesterday’s run lasted two minutes, 27 seconds.

The nine-day fiesta was immortalised in Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises and attracts thousands of foreign tourists.

Nuclear dump would destroy sacred land Aboriginal elders from across the country have joined scores of university students camping out in a stand against the storing of nuclear waste in Australia.

Protesters from far and wide have set up a tent community at Flinders University in Adelaide in protest against plans for a nuclear waste dump, in South Aus-

tralia or anywhere else.

“To the South Australian government, to the federal government, to the mining giants don’t worry about trying to put the waste dump here,” Arabunna elder Kevin Buzzacott said yesterday.

“Because you’ll be wasting your money. We’ll be out there

trying to stop it.”

The action comes as the federal government is set to reveal a shortlist of prospective sites for a possible nuclear dump before making a final decision in 2016.

It also coincides with South Australia’s royal commission into nuclear power, which is

looking at whether the state should expand its involvement in the nuclear industry.

At least one SA Liberal senator says it should, with Sean Edwards recently urging the state to cash in by becoming a global player in the spent nuclear fuel recycling industry.

But Mr Buzzacott said a stor-

age facility would destroy the sacred land of the country’s traditional owners.

“We’ve lost a lot of sacred sites as it is,” he said. “We don’t want to lose any more.

“We’ve been here 40,000 years.

We’ve never touched the land we love the land.”

Markets take a battering this week

I

t has been a rough old week for markets. Adding to the continuing drama in Greece, a sharp sell-off in Chinese equities has spread jitters around the world with markets taking a battering.

A computer glitch halted trading in the US for almost four hours, iron ore plummeted taking the Australian market with it, while in New Zealand the string of weak economic data continues to point towards further cuts to the official cash rate.

Last weekend saw Greeks vote “no” to Europe’s bailout offer, casting the country’s future in the Eurozone into further doubt and sending a shockwave through markets.

In an effort to help Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ negotiations with European leaders, much maligned Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis announced his resignation, with Euclid Tsakalotos named as his successor. Since then, Tsipras has formally requested additional bailout funds to meet

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

However, Tsipras was vague on what reforms would take place on the Greek side. With its banks closed, capital controls in place and cash running dry, Greece’s economy is in freefall and the lack of a deal would likely mean departure from the Eurozone.

After Greece hogged the headlines earlier in the week, attention has turned to the sharemarket sell-off in China which continues despite a range of measures put in place by the Chinese Government.

The Treasury warned the New Zealand Government not to announce the axing of the $1000 kick-start KiwiSaver payment prior to Budget 2015 to avoid a spike of enrolments to the selffunding retirement and savings scheme.

The National-led government scrapped the $1000 incentive it paid to those who joined KiwiSaver in the May 21 Budget in a bid to boost value for money in the scheme. A report for Finance Minister Bill English in March advised the cancellation could be implemented by Inland Revenue Department on Budget day and warned against advance public warning of the plan.

“If the policy change were to be announced in advance of the effective date (say on 1 July 2015) we would expect large numbers of enrolments in that intervening period,” the report said. “This would reduce the fiscal savings.

“Provided that the kick-start can be removed with immediate effect from the passing of legislation on Budget night, there

that the economy is traversing a rough patch.

The QBSO pointed to a net 7 per cent of firms being optimistic, well down from 20 per cent in the prior survey and the lowest reading since mid-2012.

Electronic card spending also slowed in June, recording a 0.6 per cent monthly increase, down from 1.4 per cent in May. However, much of the June growth was due to an increase in fuel spending (due to higher petrol prices) while other sectors were sluggish.

With the economy now clearly losing momentum (although by no means bleak), it is almost certain that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will look to cut the official cash rate by another 25 basis points at its next meeting and further cuts over the coming months are likely.

The Australian market has taken a battering this week, dropping the last of its 2015 gains, as the important export of iron ore fell to its lowest price in six years. Unsurprisingly, the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to leave rates on hold at record low levels on Tuesday, citing ongoing weakness in the economy and the latest developments out of China will have done nothing to allay their concerns.

The Government has also placed fresh cash in the hands of stockbrokers in an effort to support the market and has banned shareholders with stakes greater than 5 per cent from selling their holdings in the next six months.

would be no spike in enrolments to KiwiSaver,” the report said.

When introducing the optout superannuation savings scheme’s legislation in 2006, then-Finance Minister Michael Cullen said the scheme was an important factor in providing a vehicle to top up the nation’s universal pension to avoid a significant drop in income at retirement.

The affordability of New Zealand’s superannuation has been a contentious issue, with Prime

Minister John Key pledging to resign rather than raise the pension entitlement age.

The March Treasury report forecasts the government would save $17 million for the remainder of the 2014/15 fiscal year by axing the incentive. The year savings would be $175 million, before declining to a forecast $110 million in the 2021/22 fiscal year.

The Treasury also advised against keeping the incentive for under 18-year-olds, as it would create “a strong incentive for the non-target group (children) to join KiwiSaver” who have different saving priorities.

“While there is no absolute rule about when to start saving for retirement, it is recognised that for many people, developing an early retirement savings habit and making regular contributions is important for ensuring a pot of funds is built up for retirement,” the Treasury report said. “For young people their focus should be on the development of human capital, and saving towards their education and skills development for the labour market.”

Stakes high for cup chasers

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Rakaia and Methven resume their rugby rivalry in a crunch Watters Cup clash in Methven tomorrow.

The Max Gilbert challenge trophy is on the line but more importantly, the winner will go a long way to sealing their place in the August 1 final.

For Methven it is their final game before a bye in the final round - and their coach Dale Palmer would like to have their fate sealed before then.

“Our fate is in our hands at this stage.

“If we can win, we can look forward to a final after the week off, but a loss could be an early end to the season which would be a big disappointment.”

Methven already clinched the top honour as Combined Country Champions, but were still intent on fighting for the Watters Cup. The tough run in the combined finals took its toll and the side has struggled for form in recent weeks, but are still in a strong position to feature in the final.

Defending champions Rakaia have been rampant in the last two weeks, recording bonus point wins over both Celtic and Southern.

Rakaia had time to freshen up after bowing out of contention in the combined competition and were bolstered by the return of Dwayne Burrows to the midfield.

Burrows returned to Rakaia last weekend after spending the start of the season in the Waikato premier A competition playing for Fraser-Tech and has slotted in outside Nete Caucau.

The real danger man is number eight Seta Koroitamana who produced an unstoppable 60m run through the entire Southern side last weekend.

Methven also got some of their backline sting back with centre Fa’aitu Tuamoheloa returning last weekend but Palmer’s squad still has some injury concerns.

Rakaia has had the wood over Methven recently, winning all but one game - a 17all draw last year - since 2012, which includes two Watters Cup finals.

In the other match, Hampstead host Celtic with the Travis Durham Memorial.

The trophy – in memory of Durham who played senior rugby for both clubs before he was killed in a car crash - has sat at the Celtic clubrooms for the past five seasons, the same amount of time Hampstead has been winless in the Watters Cup round

Rakaia’s Seta Koroitamana, making a break in last year’s Watters cup final win over Methven, has been in hot form for the defending champions.

robin. With several players away - some in Samoa to watch the All Black match Hampstead coach Regan Broker was more focused on getting a starting XV to take the field before looking at their vacant win column.

Celtic on the other hand will come off

the bye knowing they need a bonus point win to put them in contention for the final.

Southern sit the week out with their fingers crossed the results fall their way for them to still have a chance come the final round clash with Celtic next weekend.

Chiefs assistant in critical condition Chiefs assistant coach Andrew Strawbridge is in a critical condition at Moto’otua National Hospital after taking ill on a flight to Samoa.

Strawbridge, also a technical advisor for Manu Samoa, was admitted to hospital on Tuesday night with an infection in his right eye before his condition deteriorated rapidly. The 50-year-old has now been joined by wife Laura and sister Susan.

“We are touched and overwhelmed by the kindness and alofa shown to us by friends and strangers and the wider rugby community,” said Laura Strawbridge. “I would particularly like to thank the wonderful All Blacks supporters, here for the test match,

who responded to the call for a donation of Andrew’s blood type.

“The ICU team at Moto’otua Hospital, our Chiefs rugby family, our Manu Samoa aiga and New Zealand Rugby have shown us open-hearted support at this extremely difficult time.

“I am also grateful to those players and coaches from both the Manu Samoa and All Blacks teams who spent time with Andrew before I arrived, making sure he wasn’t without a friendly voice.”

Chiefs chief executive Andrew Flexman said the franchise was also extremely grateful for the care the coach was receiving.

“We truly appreciate the incredible support that has been provided by the hospital staff, the people of the Samoan Rugby Union, the All Blacks and the Chiefs players who are on the ground over there.”

The rugby community was showing support for Strawbridge, with many messages being posted on social media.

North Harbour Rugby tweeted: “Thoughts and prayers to our @ChiefsRugby, @manusamoa brothers, + family of Andrew Strawbridge.”

Chiefs fans responded to the news which was posted by the franchise on its Facebook page. Former students of the ex-PE teacher wished him well.

NZ must shine without its stars A clutch of the hotshots won’t be there, but there will be no excuses for poor performance by New Zealand on their limitedovers cricket tour to Africa next month.

The squad of 15 – including half a tour each for legspinner Ish Sodhi and seamer Doug Bracewell – does not include the names McCullum, (captain Brendon that is), Southee, Boult and Anderson. By no measure could it be called a full-strength team for the nine games in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

But quite rightly, coach Mike Hesson has high expectations of those players chosen. Coming back with tails between legs and mumbling about the missing star quartet won’t wash.

Hesson cites two recent overseas trips – a 1-1 draw in Sri Lanka late in 2013 and a meritorious 3-2 win over Pakistan in the UAE late last year – when similarly undermanned teams performed creditably.

“There’s a few different players, but we’re still representing New Zealand, regardless of who is turning out,” Hesson said.

“Whether players are missing through injury [Corey Anderson and Trent Boult] or workload management [McCullum and Tim Southee], those selected are still expected to do a good job. We have expectations of them to put in good performances.”

Two 23-year-olds, Northern Districts allrounder Mitchell Santner and Central Districts left-arm seamer Ben Wheeler, made their starts on the recent tour to England and both caught the eye.

Hesson liked what he saw from both and is keen to get more cricket into them to further what for now is just high promise.

Santner played all five ODIs in England, batting between No 5 and No7 and taking seven wickets with his left-arm spin at a respectable rate, especially in a series which was all bat and no balls, so to speak.

Wheeler played three games in that series and with his ability to swing the new ball, reverse swing the old, allied to a lively bouncer, he displayed his potential.

His issue had been staying fit, given a catalogue of injury breaks. This trip shapes up as a big opportunity to push his case in a crowded fast-medium department.

ABs not good enough - Hansen

By Patrick McKendry At the end of what has been for the Samoan people a fairytale visit to their country by the All Blacks, coach Steve Hansen delivered a message to his team which was heavy on realism.

The All Blacks, he said before the team’s departure, need to improve significantly on a test performance against Manu Samoa which he described as scrappy but thoroughly worthwhile.

A baseline has been set, and with only four tests to go until their World Cup defence, there is a long way to go until the required level is met.

“We badly needed the game and what we got from a scrappiness point of view was what we thought we’d get,” Hansen said.

“We were probably hoping for a little bit less scrappiness but part of that extra bit was because of the performance of the Samoans; I thought they played pretty well.

From that perspective we had a lot of guys put under pressure and some guys coped with it and some guys didn’t.”

After the 25-16 victory, first-five Dan Carter said one of the most disappointing factors was the All Blacks’ inability to retain the ball and build pressure _ two things which go hand in hand and which his side are generally very good at.

And, while there were mitigating factors, it’s unlikely they will be used as excuses during the build-up to next week’s test against Argentina in Christchurch.

“It wasn’t as good a performance as we were hoping for, there’s no doubt abut that but I think there’s a number of factors – a big lay-off for a number of people, the heat, there were a lot of fatigue mistakes during the game and some of the structural stuff we didn’t get right. And then there was the opposition,” Hansen said.

“We’ve got a base starting point and now we can keep working and keep going up, and we know we’ve got a long way to go before we’re going to be competitive.”

He said he understood the sentiment behind the criticism which coming from back home whom by people who watched the match on television. “But there’s no point in panicking, there’s not many people who cope well with three weeks off and coming back and playing – usually you try to limit that to two or three guys in a squad of 23, but we had well over two-thirds of them [returning from long lay-offs].”

X-rays have found no crack in lock Luke Romano’s cheekbone after he collided with Owen Franks’ elbow – but his left eye is closed and black and blue. George Moalo,

Both defending champions got a hurry up the last time the local derbies played out in the Mid-South Canterbury hockey competition.

Wakanui Blue took down Wakanui Black while HampsteadCollegians held Hampstead to a 1-all draw last month.

Mainlanders 15th The Mainland under 19s finished in strong fashion with a 37-point win over Rotorua to finish 15th in the national under 19 netball championships in Auckland. The Canterbury combined zone team, featuring Kate Lloyd, Sophie Worsfold, Chelsea Corbett and coached by Andrea Cousins, proved to be a competitive side during the tournament. They had a win over Southland and draw with Papakura in pool play. After being beaten by Hawke’s Bay 25-34 in the quarter-finals, Mainland went down in a nail biter to Taranaki 23-24 in their semi-final on Wednesday before the big 54-17 win over Rotorua to finish off.

Caitlin Adlam played for Selwynwho finished 12th after a narrow loss to Eastern Bay of Plenty 34-36.

The news doesn’t get any better for St George Illawarra, with powerful forward Trent Merrin to miss the next month for his part in a lifting tackle in NSW’s State of Origin capitulation. On a fourmatch losing streak, the Dragons can ill-afford to be without their big back-rower as they try to consolidate their spot in the NRL top eight. However yesterday, Merrin submitted an early guilty plea for his ugly tackle - a gradetwo dangerous throw charge - on Corey Parker on Wednesday night during the Blues’ massive Origin decider loss to Queensland. He will miss the Dragons’ next four games, making him next available for St George Illawarra’s round-22 match on August 8 against the Warriors.

who failed a concussion test, and Colin Slade, who passed one, are fine, Hansen said.

He added the extended squad would meet to talk about the imminent departures of Richie McCaw and Dan Carter – both of whom will be playing their final test in Christchurch on Friday next week.

“As a group we have to sit and around and ask ‘how are we going to deal with this,

boys?’ Are we going to embrace it and make it work for us or is it going to be something to carry around like a sack of coal on our backs that becomes a burden? That hasn’t been the way we’ve done things in the past and I should imagine that once we get the whole group together we’ll have a good conversation about it and get some plans to deal with it.”

Australian rider Michael Matthews will push on with the Tour de France, despite fracturing two ribs.

Scans revealed a pair of small fractures in the Orica-GreenEDGE sprinter’s ribcage, suffered in a nasty crash on stage three of the race. “After evaluation, OricaGreenEDGE medical staff have given clearance that it is perfectly safe to continue racing,” the team said. “Matthews has vowed to keep fighting. (He) will continue to be monitored.” The 24-year-old has struggled through the two stages since the accident, finishing stage five in 176th and nearly 15 minutes behind the leaders. But race organisers still awarded him the jersey for most-combative rider, on a day the team honoured ANZAC soldiers who followed a similar route to the Western Front in WWI.

Ashburton Guardian 21

The defending men’s champions Wakanui Black are in a rut having been comprehensively beaten by Northern Hearts 7-2 last weekend, as Hearts secured back-to-back wins over the Wakanui sides to bring their season win tally to three.

After rare consecutive defeats, Black now sit in almost unknown territory for the four-

time reigning champions – sitting third on the ladder and behind Wakanui Blue - with Blue looking to register two wins over their compatriots in a season for the first time in a long time.

In the women’s competition, Hampstead remain the team to beat - and Hampstead-Collegians went close to doing that

in a recent game.

Hampstead won 4-2 when the two sides met to open the season before they drew 1-1 last month.

The defending women’s champions hold top spot courtesy of their unbeaten record, eight wins and two draws, but will be wary of the young Hampstead-Collegians.

Operation Fedberg is in full swing at Wimbledon, but faces its sternest test yet in a semi-final blockbuster today. Taking his silky grasscourt game to another level in his second year with Stefan Edberg in his courtside box, Roger Federer will continue his old-school quest for an unprecedented eighth men’s singles crown against big home hope and 2013 champion Andy Murray. It shapes as a clash for the ages, with Federer’s majestic netrushing to be challenged by one of the finest returners in the game.

Federer’s appointment of Edberg last January has revitalised the 17time grand slam champion. - AP

McKenzie nails No10 spot

BY NZME Marty McKenzie has been snapped up by the Crusaders and will now compete to fill the franchise’s vacant No10 jersey next season.

The first five-eighth, who made seven appearances for the Chiefs in 2015, was last night confirmed as the latest addition to Todd Blackadder’s ranks as the Crusaders search for a new pivot.

With Dan Carter, Colin Slade and Tom Taylor all heading offshore at the end of the year, the Crusaders have been forced to recruit heavily in a position in which they have traditionally been strong.

Along with McKenzie, fellow youngsters Ben Volavola and Richie Mo’unga will also be bidding for a starting spot, though the former Chiefs man may be the front-runner.

McKenzie grew up in Southland and spent his final two years of secondary school in Christchurch, earning an initial Super Rugby chance with the Blues before leading Taranaki to the 2014 ITM Cup Premiership trophy.

His exploits with the amberand-blacks were enough to attract the attention of Dave Rennie and, after Aaron Cruden suffered a season-ending injury, McKenzie enjoyed plenty of chances to impress.

While showing plenty of promise, McKenzie was unable to lock down the jersey and was left out of the side as the Chiefs lost their Super Rugby qualifier against the Highlanders.

With Cruden set to return next season – and with younger brother Damian seen a stronger long-term option – McKenzie has opted to seize an opportunity in

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Marty McKenzie will be wearing red and black next year.

Blackadder’s side, although the coach wasn’t about to pigeonhole the 22-year-old as a No10.

“One of Marty’s strengths is his versatility, with the ability to play almost anywhere in the backline as well as kick goals,” Blackadder said. “We see him primarily as a first five and know that he is keen to get more playing time in that position.

“He was outstanding at first five for Taranaki last season and, at just 22 years of age, there is plenty of untapped potential in him yet,” McKenzie and Mo’unga will be teammates in 2016 but were playing first XV rugby against each other just five years ago.

Mo’unga, 21, has been contracted to the full squad after spending a season with the wider training group.

“We’ve been watching Richie

develop since he was representing St Andrew’s College,” Blackadder said. “It was clear then and it still is now that he is a special talent and we look forward to helping him continue to grow his game and build his experience.”

Volavola is moving from the Waratahs, having made eight appearances for the Sydney-siders, to join the Crusaders next season. Blackadder revealed assistant coach Tabai Matson had suggested the Australian-born Fijian would be a valuable addition to the squad, as an athletic first-five with impressive pace and a handy kick.

“We are excited about the potential we can see in Ben,” Blackadder said. “He has all of the makings of a great player and is itching to get some more game time to show what he’s got.”

Hawke’s Bay keeps shield Former All Black Zac Guildford scored two tries as the Hawke’s Bay Magpies rugby team retained the Ranfurly Shield with a 58-7 victory against Wairarapa Bush at Napier’s McLean Park yesterday.

It was Guildford’s first outing for the Magpies since returning from his stint with Clermont in France. His late father Robert was a former Wairarpa Bush representative.

His first try in the 19th minute followed some good inter-passing between the Magpies backs and forwards. Fullback Guildford used his gas to get on the outside of the Bush defence to score his second in the 65th minute.

Twelve of the Magpies, including eight in the starting XV, were making their first class debuts for the hosts.

One of them, first five-eighth Tyrone Elkington-MacDonald, scored 21 points with a try and five conversions and two penalties from as many attempts at goal

in challenging weather conditions.

Magpies lock, Trent Boswell-Wakefield, produced a player-of-the-match performance in his 50th first class match for the Bay. Prop Jarvy Aoake and No 8 Joseph Penitito were others to impress in a Magpies pack which predictably dominated set piece play.

Bush coach Josh Syms had every right to be proud of the manner in which his Heartland Championship outfit stayed in the fight against last year’s ITM Cup Championship runners-up.

“It’s better than 97-3 as it has been in previous challenges. We’re hoping to improve on our second to last placing in the Heartland this year and if we build on that display we will have a good chance.”

Captain and first five-eighth Tim Priest and winger Ryan Saunders were full of adventure in the visiting backline while No 8 Johnie McFadzean toiled tirelessly.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground when it comes to income matters, trusting what a nose for money is telling you.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) As Mercury returns to your communication sector his message to the planets is ‘move over boys, I’m about to show you how it’s done’.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) With all the support of powerful work and career forces, you’ve now got all the tools in your tool belt that you will need.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) With the Sun revealing your options and Mars fuelling your passions and fighting spirit, it’s time to get your head in the game and start walking the talk.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) The Moon’s return to your career sector today brings a greater than normal need to keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With Mars fuelling your competitive spirit and Mercury able to open the communication lines, all the resources are now in place.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Something has been activated over recent weeks that puts you in a position to get your head in the game and make things happen.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) What you will find is that it’s becoming harder to hide behind your excuses. There is no reason why you can’t work hard and play hard.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Mercury’s departure from your relationship sector yesterday put the onus on you when it comes to keeping the communication lines open.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Mercury returns to your relationship sector where the focus now shifts to ensuring communication lines are open across all relationships.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) It has never been more important than now to wear your heart on your sleeve and to have the communication lines open.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) While you’re moving into some of the most important weeks of the year for work matters, matters of the heart have some strong defenders.

Tall Ferns coming to town

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Big time basketball is coming to Ashburton for the first time in 55 years.

The New Zealand Tall Ferns women’s basketball team will play their first home series outside of an Oceania Championship in almost 10 years when they host Asian powerhouse Japan in a three-test series.

Ashburton’s new EA Networks Centre will host game three of the series on August 9,

with the opening two games to be played at Cowles Stadium in Christchurch.

It’s an exciting occasion for Basketball Mid Canterbury (BBMC), president Wayne Rodgers said.

“It’s going to be great to have an international match in Ashburton,” Rodgers said.

“It will be good for the game of basketball, and promoting the new stadium for the town.”

BBMC is working with stadium manager Steve Prescott to

organise temporary seating before tickets can become available to the historic match.

The Tall Ferns last hosted an international series in 2006 when India came to New Zealand, while Ashburton last played host to international basketball in 1960.

Then, the Mid Canterbury women took on Australia, when the Ashburton Sports Hall was the only international full-size basketball court in the South Island.

Australia outclassed the locals 52-19, and 55 years later one of the Mid Canterbury players, Colleen Lindsay – now a Basketball Mid Canterbury life member - will be on the score bench.

The third test will tip off at the family-friendly time of 2pm.

Hosting the historic match will also help BBMC celebrate turning 60 this year.

against Australia.

Head coach Kennedy Kereama will name 14 players for the William Jones Cup in Chinese Taipei later this month before returning home to take on the Japanese.

The series with Japan marks the final stages of the buildup towards the Oceania Series against Australia in Melbourne on August 15 and Tauranga on August 17, with the winner of that series earning direct entry to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
