■ EASTFIELD INVESTMENTS

Deck cleared for Eastfield Work will begin soon to demolish three more buildings on the Eastfield site, to make way for the new $40 million precinct.

Eastfield Investments chairman Brian Davidson said a two-storey building on Tancred Street, formerly home to Safer Ashburton, the Skip-2-It Flooring building and the Arthur Cates building, both on Burnett Street, will be demolished with the entire site expected to be cleared by the end of August.

Following an engineering assessment of seismic risk, undertaken by consulting engineers

Lewis Bradford, the buildings were deemed earthquake-prone, with the recommended action being demolition or deconstruction.

The contract for the work has been awarded to Greg Donaldson Contracting Ltd. “This is a really exciting time for Ashburton, not only does this mean that once the buildings have been demolished the site will be clear and ready for construction, it also means that the people of Ashburton are able to take in the sheer volume of Eastfield’s space,” he said.

“The scale and scope of the de-

velopment provides an incredible opportunity to help redefine and reinvigorate the centre of Ashburton, while also offering new resources for the whole community.”

Situated between Cass, Burnett, and Tancred streets, Eastfield will also include a state-of-the-art integrated medical facility complete with doctors’ surgeries, a pharmacy and physiotherapist, as well as multi-level carparking and hospitality and retail facilities. Designed around a central square, the precinct is connected from the surrounding streets by

a series of laneways, to provide a sheltered, welcoming space for community activities and hospitality businesses.

The precinct is also being considered as a site for the Ashburton District Council’s civic administration and library buildings.

Not only is the location ideal due to its ease of access and central location, but it will also provide greater support for local retailers, Mr Davidson said.

“Seldom do opportunities to redevelop a town’s main centre arise, and we have that opportunity now and it makes sense to

incorporate one of the district’s biggest employers, the council, in with that plan.”

Earlier this month planning for a four-star, 70 to 80-room hotel development, which will include food and beverage offerings as well as meeting rooms, was also announced. Work is already under way at the new Eastfield Precinct, with construction commencing on the new Ministry of Social Development building in May. The master plan allows for a staged process of development, with the total project estimated to take over three years to complete.

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

Bid for floor protection EA Networks Centre manager Steve Prescott will prepare a business case for protective flooring worth $160,000.

Mr Prescott said there were opportunities to host non-sporting events in the stadium but protective flooring was needed.

A concert proposed for Queen’s Birthday weekend did not go ahead because of the $10,000 cost for temporary protective flooring.

A similar request has been received from another group wanting to hire the stadium, and they are now rethinking their options due to the high costs of floor protection.

Mr Prescott said it would cost around $160,000 to buy floor coverings with a life expectancy of at least 20 years. The cost could be recouped from users, who would hire the covering on a square metre basis.

A similar system operated in Dunedin’s Edgar Centre and in Stadium Southland.

Councillors at this week’s service delivery committee asked the centre manager to prepare a business case for consideration.

Eight sporting organisations are currently based at the EA Networks Centre, with the Ashburton Swim Team currently negotiating space.

■ CYBERCRIME

Helping parents become cyber aware Parents of Ashburton Intermediate School students learnt about how to protect their children in an internet-reliant world at a talk on Cybercrime at the school’s hall on Thursday night. The presentation, hosted by cyber security expert John Parsons (above), discussed the issues and dangers associated with the inappropriate use of computers, mobile phones and the internet. Parents were given real life examples of children who have been affected by cybercrime and what can be done to support and protect their own families.

Stink erupts over campervan dump site

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

East Street businessman Brendan Price is hoping a late groundswell of public support will force the Ashburton District Council to rethink the location of its new campervan waste station, again.

Council this week re-affirmed its decision to build the waste station on grass opposite John Street but Mr Price says it’s not the right location and long-time businesses in the area will lose parking.

The project has caused problems for council from the start. Campervan owners lobbied for a free Ashburton waste station, suggesting East Street closer to the A&P Showgrounds; council initially planned to upgrade a station in the Tinwald Domain, but it was deemed to have health and safety issues because chil-

dren played in the vicinity.

The land opposite John Street was chosen for its proximity to council’s sewerage reticulation, staff dismissing locations at the Ashburton Business Estate north of town and opposite the Ashburton Cemetery because it would cost too much to run a line to the sewerage scheme.

Mr Price was hoping yesterday for an 11th hour change of mind, saying even a meeting with council this week hadn’t changed his mind about the project.

He said consultation before work started consisted of an Opus design engineer dropping the plans on his counter with an advisory to “show it to our boss”.

“By the time we were emailing council with our concerns they had already H94cutx up the road.”

Mr Price, whose business Honda Country has been operating in the area for 15 years, said traffic on the road had tripled in that time, and was still on the increase. The green north of the roundabout is also used by dog-walkers and students on their way to and from school.

He said council needed to apply some “good old-fashioned commonsense” to find a new location, even if they had to install a storage tank to contain campervan effluent rather than hook up to the sewerage scheme.

Council has already sunk $28,000 into the project but suspended work this week until councillors reconsidered it.

Three elected members voted against it.

A private campervan station already operates at Coronation Park on East W260mm Street, with users paying $10 a time.

Police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down the offenders involved in a recent spree of offending against local contractors.

A number of Mid Canterbury contractors have been hit by thieves in recent weeks, including Greg Donaldson, whose contracting firm had 11 batteries taken from machinery parked at three different rural sites overnight on Wednesday.

Nine truck batteries – which were considerably bigger than a car battery – and four loader batteries were taken and police are urging people to keep an eye out for them.

It’s thought they’ll probably be sold for scrap.

Police want to hear of any suspicious activity, including suspicious vehicles, in rural areas, while an angry Mr Donaldson has put up a $5000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.

Ashburton Police constable Michael Keen said Mr Donaldson’s anger was understandable because it was about more than just the items stolen; it was also the damage done and the time lost.

“It smacks of people who have scouted the area and found these sites and thought we’ll come back tomorrow and do it over,” Mr Keen said.

“Or it’s people who have come to the Ashburton area and they are prepared and have the tools in the back of the vehicle and they are out to make money, and do whatever it takes to do that.”

Much of the offending had occurred in a triangular area between Ashburton, Methven and Rakaia, and Methven Police senior constable Mike Seque said it had been happening over the past month or so.

Mr Seque said contractors were being urged to take whatever steps they could to protect themselves, and some had already taken that on board and welded bars across the top of the battery compartments. “You just can’t physically get them out, they would have to break the weld,” Mr Seque said.

The thieves had been using cutting equipment to cut padlocks and then cut the electrical cords connecting batteries to machines, seriously damaging some along the way.

“It’s not only losing the batteries – that’s the small part,” Mr Seque said.

He said given where some of the incidents had occurred, those responsible must be using a four-wheel-drive vehicle.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Ashburton Police.

■ BREAK-IN

‘My life’s on stolen laptop’

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

When thieves broke into Kinnear Horsburgh’s home on Wednesday, they took with them a fair chunk of their victim’s life.

They took his laptop – a silver MacBook Pro – which contained all of the young DJ and music producer’s work. There was some rare stuff on there; musical treasures it will take a long time to replace and which he now wishes he’d backed up.

“It’s not just the monetary value,” Mr Horsburgh said.

“I’m a DJ, but I’ve been producing quite a bit of my own stuff too. There’s about six ongoing projects on there at the moment that aren’t backed up.”

Mr Horsburgh returned to his Hampstead/Netherby home at about 9.30pm on Wednesday to find his back door wide open.

Thieves had broken in through a spare bedroom window – which had been left on a security latch and appeared to have been prised open with a claw hammer

or something similar – and what they’d taken suggested the culprits were young.

They took Mr Hosburgh’s laptop, a skateboard, an old iPhone, a small TV and a pair of old red Vans skate shoes.

“They are scummy as with holes in the bottom of them.

They are years and years old and they are quite worn out,” he said.

It’s the laptop which was the biggest loss. It contained one unfinished project he’d put a

good 35 hours work into, and others with a similar amount of work put in, along with a couple of remixes and some original work.

“There’s quite a lot of music that would be hard to get, that I’ve had sent through from other DJs and producers, like some VIP remixes and things that would take me a long time to find again.”

He’s hoping someone’s conscience might get the better of them, and his items will be returned. But there’s only one thing he’s really worried about getting back.

“Even if it’s just what’s on the computer – that’s pretty much my life on there.”

Mr Horsburgh’s been to second hand dealers and asked them to keep an eye out for his distinctive laptop – it was covered in stickers – and he’s put a call out on Facebook which has been shared more than 100 times.

Police are investigating.

Distinctive bicycle stolen in break-in A thief made off with a distinctive bicycle after smashing his way into Paul Wylie’s Cyclerama store on Burnett Street in the early hours of Friday morning.

Mr Wylie said the $1200 fat-tire Momentum iRide Rocker 1 mountain bike was the only item taken in the break-in and believes it was the target of the raid.

It is silver with bright red tyre rims and forks and as it was relatively unique, would attract attention as the only one of its type in the district.

The offender was caught on CTV as he smashed a window on the western side of the building and reached through the hole to unlock the door at about 4am, triggering the business’ alarm and

In brief Croll-Davis arrested Police found and arrested a man they were seeking on warrants on Thursday night. Tyler CrollDavis was found by police in Ashburton and held in custody to appear in the Timaru District Court yesterday, where he was remanded in custody until his next appearance on June 20. Police issued an alert and circulated his photograph on Thursday, and Ashburton Police senior sergeant Scott Banfield said the arrest was the result of a combination of information received and police work. The Guardian posted CrollDavis’s photo on its Facebook page on Thursday and it attracted more than 50 comments, including some from Croll-Davis himself.

Wrongly accused Queenstown police have apologised to a woman wrongly accused of shoplifting on their Facebook page. The mistake, which linked an innocent woman to a male shoplifter, has sparked a review of Queenstown police’s social media procedures. Inspector Olaf Jensen, has met with Ginny Mitchell, the victim of the wrongful association and has apologised in person. “We are currently speaking to our staff about their social media procedures and they are now aware how a mistake like this can affect an innocent person,” he said.

He presented what is believed to be a firearm at staff.” No shots were fired and the officers left the property to call for assistance.

alerting security officers.

Ashburton Police sergeant Janine Bowden said it’s believed the offender – who was wearing what appeared to be a yellow and black backpack – also broke into another CBD business in the early hours of Wednesday.

“We believe this is the same person. It’s the backpack we believe is the same backpack in both instances, because it’s quite distinctive,” she said.

They’ve released a security camera image (right) of the alleged offender in the hope someone might recognise the backpack.

Less snow but still opening Brian Fauth country looking at road safety aspects and how schools can help themselves, he said.

MCPA’s request for one standardised speed limit around all schools will not make a difference in terms of safety so council are doing their best to find other options, Mr Fauth said.

“We’re trying to take the suggestion [of lower speed limits] on board but we’ve got to be practical.

“There’s no point spending money putting up signs that studies have shown might not work.

“We would rather try and get more off-road parking facilities.”

It would be extremely difficult to have and police a 40km/h speed limit at a rural school located on a 100km/h highway, he said.

“We need a more workable solution.”

Recommendations from the NZTA assessment will be considered by council who will discuss further options with the MCPA to come up with some safety measures that both schools and council are happy with.

Several Mid Canterbury schools will be assessed by the New Zealand Transport Agency to ensure the safety of their students.

The assessment is taking place following a plea to council from the Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association (MCPA) to lower the speed limit around all schools in the district.

A few months ago the MPCA sent a request to council to create a 40km/h speed limit outside all schools in the district following concerns over the speed at which traffic was allowed to pass.

Council have been in discussions with MCPA about what options are available and as part of this NZTA are assessing Ashburton Borough School’s town and Lagmhor sites, Longbeach School, Carew Peel Forest School, Ashburton Christian School and Tinwald School this week as they have been deemed the highest priority.

MCPA president Hilary Boyce said while it was good that these schools would be receiving an assessment all schools in the district should be thought of as high priority and receive an assessment.

“All of our schools in Mid Canterbury want the same traffic treatment.”

Following the assessment the MCPA will be going back to council to see if anything more can be done, she said.

Council roading manager Brian Fauth said the assessment will help give council a clearer understanding of what options are available.

■ ASHBURTON FIRE STATION

Upgrade plans drawn up

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Plans have been drawn up for an extension to the Ashburton Fire Station, but just how much the transformation will cost is yet to be determined.

The Burnett Street fire station – currently home to the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade – is set to be extended to make room for the Ashburton Volunteer Rural Fire Force to move in too, as part of the amalgamation of the country’s rural and urban fire organisations into one; the result of

a nationwide review and restructure of fire services. It may not yet be known how much the Ashburton project will cost, but it’s a move that makes sense for the town’s services, Mid/South Canterbury fire area commander Paul Henderson said.

He said plans have been drawn up and an architect was back on site this week, putting the final touches in place.

“We’re now just waiting to find out what the approximate costings will be, and we’ll go from there,” Mr Henderson said.

“We’ve had plans drawn up and we’ve

had involvement with the crews there, both rural and urban.”

The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade has 35 members, and the town’s rural fire force had 15, and like their counterparts around the country, they’ll be operating as one by the middle of next year under the banner of Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

The Ashburton rural fire force is currently situated on South Street.

Mr Henderson said the biggest issue when it came to bringing the Ashburton urban and rural volunteers together wouldn’t

be space for their combined appliances, it would be making room for the extra people.

The Ashburton station will become a station of 50 firefighters, so the extension would include new locker space and facilities.

Mr Henderson said he hoped to hear back on what the project was likely to cost in the next couple of weeks, but it remains too early to put a timeframe on when it’s hoped work will start, and be completed.

The extension will also bring the building up to IL4 in terms of building standards.

■ MILITARY MYSTERY

■ METHVEN SKY

WWI dog tag coming home

Strange sight in Methven sky

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A military dog tag which belonged to fallen World War One soldier William Protheroe should soon be on its way home to Mid Canterbury.

Perth-based man Chris Slade contacted the Guardian in April on the hunt for a surviving relative of Mr Protheroe, after rediscovering the tag, which was originally found among his late father’s belongings in Christchurch some years earlier.

According to military records, William Protheroe died in the New Zealand General Hospital in Codford, England on July 1917 and is buried in the Codford War Graves Cemetery.

He was registered as a 36-yearold widow whose next of kin was named as A. Protheroe of Elgin.

Yesterday the Guardian spoke to Warwick Protheroe, who lives in the Elgin district. He is certain William was his direct ancestor.

“According to some records my cousin has he (William) as my great uncle, which surprised me,” he said.

Ironically Mr Protheroe and his wife Juliana had left Perth about a week before the story was printed in the Guardian.

The couple were half way across the Nullarbor Desert when they received a copy of the story via email, courtesy of a friend.

Mr Protheroe intends to make contact with Mr Slade himself to arrange the return of the memorabilia.

He has discussed donating it to the Ashburton Museum to ensure it doesn’t get lost again.

Both men hope to discover how the item came to be in Mr Slade’s father’s possession in the first place.

William and his brothers Ernest and Edwin, who both appear to have survived the war, are named on the Ashburton War Memorial.

A strange cloud formation stopped Methven’s Alex Blake in his tracks.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

When 15-year-old Alex Blake looked skyward at the end of a hard day’s work on Wednesday, he saw something unexpected.

A strange cloud formation over Mount Hutt caught his eye – something which resembled a tornado.

Alex, who lives in Methven, spotted the high cloud formation at 5.30pm on Wednesday, when he was skateboarding home from work.

“I thought it was a tornado at first.”

Mr Blake said while he was still far away it looked quite big. The cloud was dark grey in colour but by the time he got home it was dark so he couldn’t see it, he said.

Mr Blake took a photo of the cloud because it was so different and showed his mum when he got home, who uploaded it to social media.

MetService Meterologist Ciaran Doolin said if it was a funnel cloud it was likely it would have been a lot lower down, closer to the Earth’s surface.

Mr Doolin said it was unlikely, but not unknown for a funnel cloud to form that high up. Usually a funnel cloud would form closer to the Earth’s surface to then connect to the cloud.

A funnel cloud does not make contact with the Earth’s surface, when it does, it becomes a tornado.

So the question remains, what is this cloudy object?

■ MURDER CASE

Abuse hurled at accused

BY KURT BAYER The man accused of murdering Christchurch woman Renee Duckmanton was again verbally abused by her family when he appeared in court yesterday for the second time.

The 22-year-old sex worker’s burned body was found on a rural Canterbury road on May 15, the day after she was last seen near the Peterborough and Manchester streets intersection in Christchurch’s red light district.

A 31-year-old man was later charged with her murder.

As he appeared at the High Court in Christchurch yesterday for a pre-trial session, members of Miss Duckmanton’s family were in tears and her father was visibly shaking.

The accused has interim name suppression to allow his defence counsel Phil Shamy time to appeal Justice Cameron Mander’s decision to lift the suppression order.

The man, from the Christchurch suburb of Ilam, was remanded in custody until August 19.

But as he was led back into the cells, the family yelled they hoped he would “die”. Miss Duckmanton’s mother shouted abuse at the man, saying he had taken her daughter. She had to be escorted from the court by Victim Support workers.

At the accused’s first appearance at Christchurch District Court on May 27, the courtroom had to be cleared after her family hurled abuse at him and even lunged at him in the dock.

Police have said they believe Miss Duckmanton’s death was related to her work in the sex industry.

Her burned body was found dumped on the side of Main Rakaia Road, 500m from State Highway 1, on May 15.

Miss Duckmanton’s aunt Sue McGrath earlier said the death had “broken my family”.

Three young Ashburton highland dancers have come home with a share of the spoils from a weekend competing in Dunedin.

Highland dancers from all over New Zealand travelled to Dunedin for the New Zealand Highland and National Dancing Championships, and it was in the under-18 section where 15-year-old Ashburton girl Britney Moore’s star shone bright.

Ten titles were up for grabs alongside national rankings, and out of 27 competitors, Britney finished third in the highland reel and fifth in the highland fling. She also gained points from all other eight dances to earn a ranking of ninth in New Zealand.

Alongside the national competition, Otago hosted its 105th Queen’s Birthday championships.

Chloe Graham was the stand-out junior competitor there, winning most points in the under eight age group, and being awarded a special medal for the most outstanding performance by an under-14 dancer over the weekend.

Charlotte Sloper also danced well and was awarded the runner-up points prize in the under-14 age group.

The highland dancers will now turn their attention to their own home competition, being held at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on June 19 from 8.30am.

■ BABY’S DEATH

Mum guilty of manslaughter A Taranaki mother cried as she was found guilty of manslaughter in the High Court at New Plymouth yesterday.

The 39-year-old woman fell asleep smothering her six-weekold baby while breastfeeding her, after consuming alcohol and prescription medication in February last year.

Defence lawyer Susan Hughes QC had argued the woman had fallen asleep due to extreme fatigue and pneumonia, making the baby’s death an accident and not a criminal act.

However, the jury of six women and six men found her guilty after a week-long trial.

The mother, like many stages throughout the trial, was inconsolable as the verdict was delivered.

Upon hearing the result, Hughes QC appealed to the judge not to convict the woman, as she intends to apply for a discharge without conviction.

She also applied for extended bail conditions, and for the woman’s name to continue to be suppressed

until her sentencing on August 8.

Justice Brendan Brown granted all three applications, which were not opposed by the crown.

Detective Heath Karlson who led the investigation has welcomed the jury’s decision.

Outside of the court he said he’s ecstatic with the result as they were able to give the baby a voice after death. He added it shows they aren’t prepared to let these kind of cases go, and it gives a clear indication to the community that they won’t sit by and let child abuse happen.

Crown Prosecutor Justin Marinovich argued the alcohol and prescription medication involving known depressants zopiclone and methadone were contributing factors. Her blood alcohol level was believed to be around three times the legal driving limit at the time the baby died.

Mr Marinovich said she chose to consume these substances which led to her falling asleep, meaning she failed to provide the necessaries of life.

■ POLICE SHOOTING

Man armed with machete The armed man shot by police near Paeroa yesterday got “very close” to officers with a machete and sickle.

Police revealed that officers had feared for their safety in the lead-up to the shooting in Karangahake, north Waikato.

Police were called to the small community after reports that the 57-year-old man was threatening another person with a machete.

Police shot the man after he threatened them with the blade.

He died at the scene.

Acting Assistant Commissioner Bruce Bird said the man came

“very close” to officers.

“They were fearing for their lives and that’s why they were using the firearm.”

Mr Bird said he “absolutely” backed the officer’s decision to shoot the man, who is yet to be named by police.

“Our officers are well trained, they have to make judgment decisions and [based on] all the facts that I have before me, they made the right decision.”

Police have cordoned off a property in County Rd, Karangahake, and are providing support to the man’s family and the officers involved in the incident.

Police said the partner of the dead man and her children, a 14-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy, lived at the property. Neither the partner nor the children were injured in the drama.

Mr Bird said the three officers involved were “attacked” but none were injured.

“It was a fast-moving, dynamic scene but we need to reconstruct that to determine the facts.”

The shot man was armed with a sickle and a machete when he went to attack the officers.

A “number” of other knives were also found at the scene.

Mr Bird says it wasn’t the first

time police had been called to the house, which was why police were armed. “We do know about other incidents that have occurred at the house for a variety of reasons.”

Officers were armed with a Taser but it could not be used.

Mr Bird says it was too early to say why that was, but that would form part of the Independent Police Conduct Authority investigation.

He added: “The officers are going through a real emotional rollercoaster and we haven’t yet been able to speak to them.”

Man’s body recovered The body of a man swept away when the vehicle he was in became stuck in a West Coast river has been found.

Cobden man Barry Petrie, 66, and a two-year-old girl, identified as Emily Saunders, were swept away when their vehicle got stuck in the Poerua River near Hari Hari about lunchtime on Thursday.

Three other people got out safely. The toddler is still missing.

Police confirmed that a man’s body was found yesterday downstream from where the vehicle became stuck about 2.30pm on Thursday. The community were supporting her family.

“We personally know the family involved, they work in the valley,” long-time Hari Hari resident Tom Clarkson said.

South Westland Area School principal Ross Brockbank said the school was closely involved in the search. “It’s one of the worst things that can happen in a small community,” Mr Brockbank said.

“We all don’t need this. As I understand, there’s going to be at least two families affected by this – our thoughts go out to them.”

Mr Brockbank said four of the school staff were directly involved in the search.

Still grounded PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 090616-TM-0055

St Joseph’s hosts reading seminar Literary consultant Murray Gadd spoke to parents of St Joseph’s School during a seminar on reading on Thursday night. Parents were able to learn about the importance of reading, what their children are expected to achieve as developing readers, what students learn at school to become readers and what they can do at home to support their children. The session also included a look at some books that are known to engage children as readers. Mr Gadd has been working with staff this year to develop their teaching of reading.

South Westland helicopter company Alpine Adventures, grounded by order of the Civil Aviation Authority 10 days ago, is expected to remain so for another 10 days. The flying ban affects the company’s entire fleet of 19 helicopters and 20 staff around the South Island, mostly in South Westland. It has forced Alpine Adventures to refer bookings to rival helicopter operators and a company spokesman says a longer grounding could mean job cuts.

ArrowsmithLaw Saturday, June 11, 2016

Ashburton Guardian

On our way to making a positive difference I took a great photo of Mt Arrowsmith looking up the Rangitata a few years back.

My objective had been Growler Hut, several hours up the riverbed track from the DOC car park at Mesopotamia.

It turned out that my trusty Suzuki quad bike didn’t have the grunt for the job. About five kilometres in the whole flow of the Rangitata came south west into a bluff to my left, and then swung south east again out into the braids. To get to Growler I would have to get across.

A brief wade out and it was clear that I wasn’t going any further.

I went back to the quad bike and had an early lunch sitting looking up the valley, Mt Arrowsmith up ahead. One day I’d get up there. I put aside my sandwich and took the photo.

On a few occasions over the years I had thought about starting a new law firm in Ashburton.

I had some ideas about how law-

yers could do things differently; in looking after clients, and in building a team who enjoyed what they did.

The starting point was the idea that lawyers are in business, just like everyone else. And the fundamental question that all people in business should ask themselves every day is: if we are not making a positive difference to people’s lives, then why are we in business?

I was therefore keen to bring this idea to a services industry that sometimes looses sight of that fundamental.

To constantly and effortlessly make a positive difference to peoples’ lives you need a team who wants that outcome. Building such a team was the second challenge that I thought would be fun to take on.

Law firms in my experience often end by being laterally competitive, and vertically hierarchical, and even sometimes feudal.

The real reason for being in busi-

ness gets overwhelmed by fear, and the billable hours obsession.

I wanted to start something different.

I am sure we will be a success, but the more important thing is that we should have fun. And it has already been great fun setting up. Yes, we’re through the river and on our way. I sincerely hope you will join us for the adventure.

Junk Free June

Going cold turkey Could you go a whole month without eating an ounce of junk food? Journalism student Megan Sutherland is giving it a go by taking part in Junk Free June, a Cancer Society initiative. Here is her story.

I

t’s a week into Junk Free June and I thought by now I’d be hanging out to have a piece of my favourite black forest chocolate with a cup of tea come July 1, but I was wrong.

Junk Free June is run by the Cancer Society as an annual fundraiser that challenges people to give up junk food for one month in order to raise money. So how big is this challenge for someone like me, and how did I come to take part in it?

Well, unbeknown to me, five days out from the start of June four lovely friends signed me up as a group they called the “SHAKA SQUAD”.

I came home from work one day and looked at my phone and it had been bombarded by messages from my friends saying that they had signed me up in the group, that I had no choice and could not back out, and that it would be fun.

Naturally, I was fuming. But as my anger softened and I came to terms with what was ahead of me. I started to see the light and thought this was indeed a positive thing and quickly did a complete 360 in my approach to the challenge.

I was out to prove everyone wrong, to show them that I could do a month without junk food. I thought it was a great way to raise money for a fantastic charity that personally resonates with me like many other Kiwis around the country, and maybe a way that I could finally commit to a healthy lifestyle.

The thought of cutting out junk food very quickly went from being the bane of my existence, to being a no-brainer option.

But the thing with junk food is, where do you draw the line with what counts as junk food and what doesn’t? You get to choose how little or how much you cut out for the entirety of the month. So we decided to cut out any takeaways that come wrapped in paper.

KFC, Burger King, McDonald’s, takeaway pizza, even Subway – you name it, we have probably cut it out. We have said goodbye to chocolate, chips, lollies, fizzy, juice and ice cream as well as trying to cut down on carbs.

I also made the bold decision to let go of an absolute weakness of mine, coffee.

So now, I’m a week into what I thought would be the most treacherous month of my young life, and you may wonder how it’s going.

In actual fact it hasn’t been that bad at all. I mean, I don’t feel miraculously healthier or fitter, let alone look it, but it’s the small things I’ve noticed. When I just want to snack on something like chocolate, that’s what I have found hard. And of course not having a regular morning coffee or the one at mid-morning, midday and mid-afternoon.

However, I have taken this as an opportunity to try and slow down my somewhat bad eating habits - such as having three to four coffees a day and indulging in half a block of chocolate in one sitting – and making yummy, healthier alternatives to those everyday snacks. I’m going back to the basics and eating good plain tucker, and remembering something my dad would always tell my brother and I when we were growing up – “all you need is meat and three veg”.

For another perspective on the challenge I spoke with Community Ministries of the Salvation Army Judith Lilley who, along with four other women at the Salvation Army, are also doing Junk Free June.

Mrs Lilley said not many of the women eat junk food anyway, so what they decided to do was donate money for each time they did eat junk food.

She said the group got together and decided individually what their “junk food” was for the month and like me they have cut out most takeaways and things with high sugars and fats.

Mrs Lilley said there had been a couple of slip-ups, one woman had an energy drink and another fish and chips, but the whole month for them was more about doing a fun thing together as a group.

“It’s a good way to include the staff, and it holds you accountable to say no to eating junk food,” she said.

Junk Free June is a non-profit organisation founded and owned by the Cancer Society New Zealand.

It has over 10,000 participants signed up online with celebrity ambassadors on board such as Art Green, season one’s The Bachelor and his girlfriend Matilda Rice, Rachel Hunter, Auckland tradie and lifestyle blogger Logan Dodds and Magic netball player Paula Griffin.

The aim is to raise as much money as possible with all proceeds going to the Cancer Society.

Junk Free June isn’t just about fundraising though, it’s about helping people make healthier choices so they feel great and reduce their cancer risk.

I’m a big believer in giving anything a go and maybe I do have a tendency to try most things that come my way, but without a doubt I can say, for me, so far Junk Free June is a success and I see it as a win-win situation.

I get to tidy up my health and, more importantly, everyone that is involved, whether you are a participant or contributing donations to someone doing Junk Free June, should be happy in the knowledge that they are involved in a great thing raising money for a truly important organisation.

For more information on Junk Free June you can visit https://nz.junkfreejune.org/

Megan Sutherland said giving up junk food for a good cause was a “nobrainer”.

Ready for action

Mt Hutt opens for the 2016 ski season today, so we take a look at what the mountain has to offer for the season, and the message being put out to Australians to encourage them to take skiing and snowboarding holidays in New Zealand.

A

record warm May, a big dump of snow and strong winds; it’s been an interesting lead-in to the 2016 ski season for Mt Hutt.

Today, they’re expected to finally throw their gates open and welcome what could be one of the biggest opening day crowds they’ve seen in recent years to their slopes – weather permitting.

Strong winds forecast for yesterday meant the mountain postponed its opening by a day, much to the dismay to anyone who had taken the day off work in preparation for the big day after seeing just how much snow was on the slopes.

Mt Hutt’s current base of up to 80cm in places is the best its opened with in years, but a month ago, the 2016 ski season wasn’t looking too promising around New Zealand.

After a record warm May, Kiwi weather forecasters weren’t exactly waxing lyrical about the prospects for a good snow season.

Then came the boom.

At the tail end of the month, a huge front swept across much of the Southern Alps delivering more than one metre of snow in some ski resorts.

Talk about a turnaround – and a season starter.

Unless the weather has other ideas, it promises to be a cracking beginning to the season in the Shaky Isles, which starts with Mt Hutt turning on all its lifts today.

What happens from there is anyone’s guess, but the early suggestions seem to be that the level at which snow falls could be something of an issue this season, so higher will equal better.

The Australian market is being targeted this ski season, and the bookings are flowing in. So what are they expecting?

They’re being shown our major mountain ranges – the size, scope and sheer beauty of which even they will admit, quite frankly, dwarf Australia’s offerings.

They’re being told there’s probably a better chance of powder snow and the top-end terrain certainly equals what Australia can offer, too.

Here’s what Australians are being told they can expect from the South Island’s major resort areas: Canterbury This criminally under-rated area of New Zealand has plenty to offer, particularly for the adventurous skier or snowboarder.

Mt Hutt heads the list, about an hour and a half from Christchurch. You’ll base at the quiet but charming Methven before

It was all guns blazing earlier this month at Mt Hutt as snowmaking got under way ready for the start of the 2016 season today.

PHOTO ADAM PRESTON taking the 30-minute ride to a resort that frequently has the longest season in the South Island.

A strong mix of terrain for all standards, Mt Hutt is enjoyable when the weather co-operates. Less so when it doesn’t.

Porters is another smaller commercial field that recently installed a quad chair and is a great alternative option from Christchurch.

The area tends to get a little less snow but also less people and if development plans go ahead, it could be one of the best ski areas in the country. Canterbury is also home to a number of club fields such as Craigieburn, Broken River and Mt Olympus that are worth checking out if you don’t mind ropetows and nutcracker lifts and rudimentary facilities.

Web: www.nzski.com; www.skiporters. co.nz Queenstown Coronet Peak and The Remarkables are the key resorts in the beautiful southern city. The former, an easy 15-minute drive out of town; the latter about double that.

Coronet works well after a big night at Queenstown and has extensive snowmaking and some surprisingly steep riding out back.

Its lower elevation leaves it more susceptible to rain than big brother The Remarkables.

More expansive and with plenty of options for the adventurous, it’s a bit like the Tardis in that there’s more to it once you’re inside. The views back to Queenstown on

a sunny day are almost worth a day pass alone.

New this season: The Remarkables’ access road is now sealed three-quarters of the way to the top and there’s a new beginners’ area at Coronet Peak. Both mountains (run by nzski.com) have joined the Mountain Collective Group for exchange pass benefits with 15 resorts worldwide including Thredbo.

Web: www.nzski.com Wanaka On one side of the Crown Range is Cardrona; on the other Treble Cone. Cardrona is the mellow beast and best suited to beginners through to upper-intermediate skiers.

It shines with its terrain parks and halfpipe, arguably with the best combination of the two in the southern hemisphere.

A visit to the Cardrona Hotel is a must at the end of the day – it’s perhaps the coolest pub in NZ. TC is more for big mountain riders with its long vertical drop (700m), powder-filled chutes and challenging terrain.

Its pisted runs are not quite as enticing.

Long-range suggestions are that it could benefit most this season from the prevailing weather conditions.

New this season: For Cardrona, a new cafe at the bottom of Valley View Quad and car park.

At Treble Cone, new grooming machines and a family “chill zone”.

An opportunity to shine

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The annual Town versus Country fixtures are upon us, with young players eager to prove themselves on an occasion that boasts 88 years of history.

There may not have been a senior Town and Country match played since 2001, but former Mid Canterbury stalwart John (Bigsy) McLay and Mid Canterbury chairman Gerard Rushton are anticipating a high level of rugby throughout the age groups tomorrow.

McLay, who notched over a

100 appearances for the Hammers, turned out for the Country seniors against Town on more than 10 occasions – and recalls the fierce rivalry and passion the clash evoked.

“It was a rep trial, it was always a big match and we played for keeps,” he said.

“I never went out on the paddock with the idea of hitting anyone, but if anyone cheated I never backed off.

“I used to get in the zone and you didn’t hesitate.”

Although a jam-packed club schedule contributed to the de-

mise of the senior Town and Country fixtures, McLay insisted on the importance of tomorrow’s age-group ties for young players to show what they’re capable of with the rep season on the horizon.

“Town and Country – It’s a good chance to find out how good you are,” he said.

The former Mayfield number 8 reminisced of a time when Mid Canterbury’s club competition hosted up to 10 senior teams, four of which made up the Country team to contest the Doyle Shield.

Rushton, who also played for Mayfield, reflected on the interest the match garnered, with club team-mates and supporters turning out in their droves.

“All your team mates came to watch too.

“It was a real social event, probably as big a rugby day as rep games,” he said.

“It was quite a unique thing.

“These guys would go out in the Town and Country fixture and really go at each other, but the next week, they’d be playing in the rep team shoulder to shoulder.”

With under 6 to under 14 teams all taking to the Celtic grounds tomorrow, Rushton urged both sets of players to take the chance to make themselves part of the day’s rich history.

“It’s an opportunity to step up,” he said.

“They’ve got the chance that if they’re a first five, they’ll have a better halfback beside them and better second five outside of them, so it’s just another level of that game that they can shine in.”

Play will begin at 11am tomorrow at Celtic.

In brief

Cruden gets seal of approval

By Patrick Mckendry Wales assistant coach Neil Jenkins, the second highest test points scorer in history and a man who knows a thing or two about kicking goals, insists Aaron Cruden’s average goalkicking form with the Chiefs is not necessarily a comfort for his team.

Cruden, only kicking off the tee in the last few matches for the Chiefs, has been successful with only 52 per cent of his attempts this season.

The other side of the equation is that he has always kicked reasonably well for the All Blacks, and former Wales and British and Irish Lions international Jenkins has a feeling that will continue at Eden Park in the first test against his nation.

Asked whether goalkicking could prove the difference between the sides, he said: “You’d hope so, wouldn’t you?

“You’d hope the game is tight and that it comes down to the latter stages.

“The last few times we’ve played the All Blacks we’ve been there or thereabouts with about

15 minutes to go, but they’ve constantly proved that they are the best side in the world by going away in the last 10 or 15 minutes.

“The game is never over and they keep coming.

“They can score tries quickly, as they showed against us in the autumn series a couple of years ago.

“I’m sure goalkicking is going to play a big part, it does in every test, but Aaron Cruden is a fantastic goalkicker as far as I’m concerned.

“I know he hasn’t being doing it all season, but he certainly has the last few weeks.

“He’s been there and done it and is a class act as well.”

Wales have talked about playing with flair and ambition this week but on the other hand they have also made it clear they want to keep it tight for as long as possible.

On that basis, it’s difficult to see them playing anything other than a forward-oriented, territory-based game in the hope that they can keep the pressure on for as long as possible and, with

Aaron Cruden: Goalkicking could prove vital in series. the All Blacks missing the experience they had in the last World Cup, hope the home side wilt.

Defence, too, will be paramount, and after enjoying warm temperatures at their North Shore base this week, the changeable weather conditions expected could play a part too.

“You’ve got to be accurate with your kicking, you’ve got to be accurate with your kick-chase, you’ve got to make your tackles, it’s as simple as that,” Jenkins said.

“They’ve got some fantastic players, people who can beat you one-on-one, so we have to make our tackles and be organised ... and put some pressure on them.”

Meanwhile All Blacks captain Kieran Read has called on his side to play with composure while not stifling their attacking instincts in their first test of the year against Wales at Eden Park tonight.

It’s a balancing act which Read, who has taken over from Richie McCaw as skipper, will feel the world champions will be capable of fulfilling, but he knows the excitement of playing at their fortress after a long build-up could create difficulties.

“That’s going to be key for us, [to not] try too hard early,” he said yesterday after his team’s captain’s run at the venue. ““It’s pretty exciting – the guys are ready to get out on the field ... we can’t wait.”

World record in the pool for Howarth Paralympian Nikita Howarth stormed to a new world record in the pool yesterday at the IDM German Open.

Howarth swam 1min 18.65s in the women’s S7 100m butterfly.

She eclipsed the previous record of 1:20.14 previously held by American Mallory Weggemann since 2009.

Howarth is New Zealand’s youngest Paralympian, when she made her debut in London four years ago at 13.

She’s ranked first in the world in four events.

“It was great to see Nikita set a new world record in this event.

“All the more outstanding considering she came into this competition without a taper as this was viewed more as competition training opportunity rather than an event Nikita was going to achieve a personal best performance at,” Malcolm Humm, high performance director at Paralympics New Zealand, said. - NZME

Celtic halts Methven’s run

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The penultimate week in the second round of the Premier Grade Netball competition produced some unexpected results.

Methven lost their unbeaten record, Ashburton College and Southern could not be separated and United fell to a one-sided defeat.

Celtic 31 Methven 29 Celtic took a narrow win in a clash of the premier grade’s two most consistent teams, and relieved Methven of their unbeaten record in the process on Thursday evening.

Methven looked as though they had returned to their clinical best when they blew United off the court in their last outing, but an impressive second quarter saw Celtic build an unassailable lead.

After an opening 10 minutes in which the two sides matched each other goal for goal, Celtic held a razor-thin 8-7 lead at quarter time.

But the second stanza proved the difference between the two teams on the night.

Celtic outscored the reigning champions 11-5 as Debbie Summerfield provided solid service to the greens’ shooters for a 19-12 halftime score.

To Methven’s credit, they showed the spirit of fighting champions and reined in Ange Leadley’s side’s seven goal lead to four after a fine third quarter at 23-19.

Methven came out firing again in the final stanza, sensing their unbeaten record could be salvaged, and it almost was, with Greta Currie’s team outscoring Celtic 10-8.

But, despite the last-gasp heroics, it proved too little too late as Celtic’s defence did just enough.

With Methven making serious inroads into Celtic’s lead in the third and fourth quarters, Leadley credited her players for holding out in a fast-paced encounter.

“Once again Anna Holland was strong in her defence and her and Julia McLeod worked really well

bringing the ball through court,” she said.

“Methven can always steal the win.

“They are a strong team with experience in these kind of situations.

“Our girls were really aware of that, so we focused on maintaining control and playing as a unit.”

Despite the loss, Methven will take solace from their gutsy performance, particularly with some key personnel in Sarah Paton and Sarah White missing, while Becky Marett could only manage one quarter due to injury.

“We had a lot of changes brought about by sickness and people on holiday so our mid court was completely reshuffled,” said Methven coach Greta Currie.

“I thought the second quarter we battled through the midcourt but this improved in the second half.”

Currie said she doesn’t expect her players’ confidence to be affected after falling to their first loss in what has been a near-perfect campaign so far.

“I’m not particularly worried about the girls’ confidence,” she said.

“I think it was to their credit that they could show real grit to come back and get so close, with many playing out of position.”

Ashburton College 23 Southern 23 After winning their last two premier grade fixtures against United and Hampstead, College would have been favourites on paper to add a third successive win to their tally against Southern.

But the promoted side brought plenty of determination and speed to the encounter.

College held a slender 8-7 lead at quarter time and the two teams were just as even in the second for a 16-14 halftime score line.

With both sides matching each other throughout the court, the deficit stayed at two goals in the third stanza, but Southern did not let up the chase.

Southern’s Jenna Steer looks to keep College’s Grace Wilson at bay during the two sides 23-all draw at the EA Networks Centre Stadium on Thursday evening.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 090616-TM0037

In a low-scoring fourth quarter, College netted just twice, while Southern put up four goals to snatch a valuable draw.

College coach Ange Mitchell said her team had prepared for a fast-paced encounter, but conceded her players were left chasing the game at times.

“Southern played the game at a fast pace and we had to work very hard throughout the match,” she said.

“They would be the fastest side we have come up against this season, so it was a great challenge for us.”

Mitchell praised Sala Bueta’s

defensive display under plenty of pace and pressure throughout the encounter.

“I thought Sala Bueta at GK had a great night,” she said.

“She was under pressure with the ball coming into the circle at pace but she kept her composure and kept us in the game with numerous gains throughout the match and particularly in the dying minutes.”

It was a good return to form for Southern, who were beaten 35-20

by Celtic last week.

Co-coach Jodene Lowe praised her players for a strong team effort in coming from behind for

the draw, and will now turn their attention to United.

“After last week’s game we really wanted to put in a full 40 minute effort which both Sonya and I believed they did,” she said.

“Going into the last quarter they were determined not to let up and stick to the game plan.”

Hampstead 33 United 13 With both sides gunning for their first win of the second round, there was plenty at stake when Hampstead met United on the Vetent Court.

Hampstead had lost all three of their matches in round two, while United were in a marginally better position thanks to a draw against Celtic, but there was only one side in the contest on Thursday evening.

Hampstead were quick out of the traps and notched up a 9-2 lead at quarter time, and it was much of the same in the second quarter with Cindy Meadow’s side putting up another nine goals for an 18-4 halftime advantage.

The third quarter was United’s best, matching their opponents at six goals each, but Hampstead turned up the intensity in the final stanza to outscore United 9-3 for a convincing 33-13 victory.

United coach Anne Gilbert said the poor start and a lack of accuracy under the hoop in the first half proved costly.

“I definitely think our poor start contributed to the outcome of the game.

“Unfortunately our shots weren’t sinking and we lost selfbelief and Hampstead shot incredibly well in the first quarter, missing only one,” she said.

“In the third quarter the difference was we only missed three shots and our defence stepped up the pressure.”

Despite the loss, Gilbert is confident her players can bounce back in time for their clash with Southern next week.

“It will be hard, but the girls are amazing, and they will be able to pick themselves up for the allimportant game next week,” she said.

College tackle St Bede’s

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton College face a tough test when they welcome last year’s UC Championship winners St Bede’s to the showgrounds today.

College have yet to register a win in this season’s competition, and were downed 29-18 by a strong Burnside High School side last Saturday.

Dave McCrea’s side currently sit third from bottom on the points table, ahead of Lincoln and Roncalli, thanks to picking up two bonus points.

In contrast, today’s opponents have registered four wins from their seven outings, but will be determined to bounce back from their narrow 16-12 loss to St Andrew’s a week ago.

College 1st XV manager Dave McArthur said the players are looking forward to testing themselves against one of the competition’s heavyweight sides.

“We have a squad of 22 for the

first time in a few weeks, so it’s a full complement,” he said.

“They’ve trained well, and they’re excited about the clash.

“It’s last year’s winners, so it’s good to test yourself against the best.”

After receiving a head knock last week, Liam O’Connor will sit out the match as a precaution and will be replaced at first fiveeighth by Western Bartlett, who will move up from fullback.

Meanwhile Tololima Savaiinara and Milsy Stephens-Tahuri will be back at second five and centre respectively after a solid midfield showing last week, while Ali Prescott returns to the wing.

UC Championship round eight: Ashburton College v St Bede’s College, 12 noon, at the showgrounds.

Michael Cheika believes Wallabies debutant Dane Haylett-Petty has the temperament and the ability to make a seamless step up to the Test arena. Western Force fullback Haylett-Petty has been selected on the wing for the opening clash of the three-Test series against England tonight at Suncorp Stadium, an opportunity that has opened up due to injuries to Henry Speight and Joe Tomane.

Games canned due to player shortages James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Rakaia won’t be in action again until their Watters Cup match with Hampstead.

Neither Rakaia nor Celtic will be in action today after both sides had their senior fixtures defaulted on Thursday evening.

Rakaia were set to lock horns with Glenmark in a third place playoff clash, but defaulted due to a lack of personnel – particularly front rowers.

The default puts Rakaia out of action for two weeks, when they will face Hampstead in the Watters Cup following a bye in the first round next Saturday.

Rakaia assistant coach Wayne Foxcroft said the fortnight’s layoff will allow time for persistent injuries to heal, and is confident the 14-day break will not have any adverse effects on match sharpness when his side kick off their Watters Cup defence.

“Hopefully in two weeks’ time all of those niggles will have healed up and everybody will

Queensland have reportedly signed former Wallabies captain George Smith for next season’s Super Rugby competition. Smith, who will be 36 by the start of next season, has been shopping for homes in the region and would be a replacement for current Reds openside flanker Liam Gill, according to News Corp Australia. The 111-Test veteran has not played in Super Rugby since he left the Brumbies in 2013, the same year in which his international career ended.

be ready for selection,” he said.

“We just have to carry the same form we’ve showed over to the Watters Cup.” Celtic, who were scheduled to host Ashley today, will now finish in fifth place in the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition after the North Canterbury side defaulted due to a lack of players.

Celtic coach Shane Enright said he is disappointed that the playoff clash was canned, insisting the encounter would have served as an ideal opportunity to maintain their momentum heading into their Watters Cup tie against Hampstead next week.

“We would have preferred to have played,” he said.

“When things are going well it’s about keeping that going. It would have also been a good opportunity to get those fringe players more playing time.”

Samu Kerevi says he and centres partner Tevita Kuridrani have been issued simple instructions by Wallabies coach Michael Cheika for tonight’s first Test against England - run straight, and run hard. Kerevi will make his international debut in the series opener at Suncorp Stadium and is potentially the last piece of the puzzle for the Australian side as a big-bodied No.12, giving the Wallabies an extra hard edge in midfield.

Augustine Pulu’s impending arrival from the Chiefs to the Blues also makes the transfer a timely one for Hall. Crusaders Coach Todd Blackadder said the experience and leadership that Hall offered made him an ideal replacement for Ellis. “With Andy’s departure there is no doubt that we lose a significant amount of leadership and maturity but Bryn is the ideal person to fill that gap, both on the field and off it,” he said.

All Blacks can wing it

BY GREGOR PAUL The All Blacks have talked about keeping things simple at Eden Park.

And they have an easy out on that front – fling the ball to either wing and see what happens.

Strike power is not an issue for the All Blacks.

They have about 210kg of human on their flanks – split between two men whose complexities extend to getting the ball in their hands and running.

In Julian Savea, the All Blacks have, when he’s physically fit and mentally right, the most destructive wing in world rugby.

His record of 38 tries in 41 tests is the most prolific in history – better than Jonah Lomu’s, Bryan Habana’s, Christian Cullen’s, Jeff Wilson’s and Joe Rokocoko’s.

Waisake Naholo, who will be on the other wing for the All Blacks, has the potential to build an equally impressive strike rate such has been his ability in Super Rugby to score from situations others would consider hopeless.

This is a break from the norm, having mostly opted to pick a finisher and an auxiliary fullback on their wings since 2009.

It’s a one-two punch that could knock out Wales and the All Blacks won’t shy away from making it their default option to push the ball wide early to bring Savea and Naholo into the action.

That’s partly what the combination is all about - giving the All Blacks an escape valve.

A player on either side of the field who can get them going forward, make something happen and spark the team into life.

Given the lukewarm form and fitness of Savea through Super Rugby, there may also be some desire to try to bring him into the game early and build his confidence.

Behind the scenes this week, the All Blacks have been gently coercing him into a good mental state and encouraging him to

Ashburton Guardian 19

play his natural game when the time comes.

“He is pretty hungry from a rugby point of view,” said All Blacks coach Steve Hansen.

“He knows he’s overdue to put a bit in for the team.

“We have had a good week with him and I’m expecting him to play really well.

“I think you will see the old Julian Savea that we all know and love come Saturday.”

It’s likely, too, that as well as using Savea and Naholo in wider channels, they will look to bring both their wings into the game through the middle of the park, either from first receiver or with a bit of deception, charging off Aaron Cruden’s shoulder.

Wales won’t be daunted being confronted by such big men – they have a wing giant of their own in George North – but they will be blunted by the relentless toll of defending men with such power.

Naholo is particularly good at driving into contact from first receiver and despite the fact he’s played three tests, there is a sense of his international career just beginning.

He broke his leg on debut last year and didn’t have any game time behind him when he went to the World Cup.

Re-breaking the same leg this year set him back for another eight weeks and there is a feeling that he’s ready to erupt – that he’s got a whole other level to give.

He’s reputed to be the quickest All Black in the squad and he combines that with agility, power and a solid set of ball skills that he applies well on attack and defence.

“He hasn’t given much to it,” Hansen said of Naholo’s test career to date.

“The first test, he broke his leg, and we probably brought him back a wee bit too soon for the World Cup, hoping that it was right.

So he didn’t get a lot of opportunities over there but he’s a special player when he’s right and he’s trained well, so looking forward to him going out and playing 80 minutes.”

- NZME

Welsh miss out Only four Welsh players would make a combined New Zealand-Wales XV, according to British publication the Telegraph. The two old rugby rivals face off at Eden Park tonight as Wales look to end a losing streak that goes back to 1953. Winger George North, second five Jamie Roberts, skipper Sam Warburton and lock Alun Wyn Jones are the only Welsh players to make the cut. And if it weren’t for the injuries of Nehe Milner-Skudder and Sam Whitelock the Welsh would have less players represented, according to the Telegraph. - NZME

Bodyline is back Eddie Jones has elaborated on his “Bodyline” quip, saying it is a statement of how England have to do things differently if they are to beat the Wallabies in this month’s three-Test series. The hype around the series-opening clash at Suncorp tonight is in no small part thanks to former Australian mentor Jones’ involvement as English coach, and his quick-witted jabs at the Wallabies and his good mate Michael Cheika.

- AAP

ABs going low-sugar The All Blacks power through 80 minutes of blood, sweat and tears – so what do they eat to ensure their bodies perform at their best on game day? Under the influence of strength and conditioning coach, Dr Nicholas Gill, the All Blacks have moved to a low sugar diet. “The movie The Sugar Film has influenced the players quite a lot I think,” explained Gill. “We now have nuts on the sideline after training, not lollies. I wouldn’t say we’ve made it all the way to high fat, but we have healthy fat on hand when we need it”.

- NZME

Cane’s chance to shine He’s played 31 games for the All Blacks, but today’s test against Wales could be the start of a new era for Sam Cane. The Chiefs openside flanker has been Richie McCaw’s trusty understudy in the No 7 jersey since 2012, peppering 13 starts among 18 appearances off the bench. With McCaw enjoying retirement, the 24-year-old Cane has a chance to make the jersey his own after consistently good Super Rugby performances.

Lillyman playing for Origin spot

By DaviD Skipwith Front-rower Jacob Lillyman hopes the Warriors can continue to improve and boost his chances of winning a State of Origin recall for Queensland.

Lillyman was disappointed to be the only incumbent to miss selection for last week’s opening interstate encounter in Sydney, after playing the best of his 11 Origin appearances in last year’s 52-6 game three thrashing of New South Wales.

The 32-year-old joined the Maroons squad late last week as precautionary cover while halfback Cooper Cronk battled to overcome an ankle injury, and despite being a frustrated spectator as Queensland ground out a 6-4 victory at ANZ Stadium, hopes he can reclaim a spot for the second and third games.

“Having played all three games in a series win, coming off my best Origin game in the third match, I thought I might have been there or thereabouts but unfortunately I missed out,” said Lillyman.

“But I got to go across there and spend a few days with the boys in camp, so that was good and it helped me refresh mentally and get ready to play some good footy.

Jacob Lillyman: Origin return uppermost in his thoughts.

“Kevvy [Queensland coach Kevin Walters] was really good about it and after the match, he said there’s still another two games to go, so you never know what could happen.”

The time in camp had been a welcome change from the Warriors’ woes, following consecutive losses to Penrith and Canberra.

Returning to Auckland with an improved mindset, Lillyman was

pleasantly surprised to find his team-mates enjoying a relaxed build-up to last week’s pressurerelieving win over Brisbane.

“To go across there and be a part of that system, it really refreshed me mentally,” he said.

“Coming back for the captain’s run before the Broncos, I couldn’t believe how upbeat and happy and excited the boys all were.

“So whatever Cappy [Warriors coach Andrew McFadden] and the coaching staff did while I was away certainly worked and we played that way against Brisbane.”

Despite the Warriors’ inconsistent form, Lillyman has been a reliable performer, averaging close to 120 metres and 30 tackles in 50 minutes per outing.

Doubters may question the validity of the side’s win over the Broncos and attribute it to their annual mid-season improvement during the Origin period, but the Warriors remain focused on making further improvements in their clash against Newcastle at Hunter Stadium.

“A lot of people say that but we can’t take too much notice.

“They [NRL games] are all worth two points so we’ll just focus on taking those steps forward that we made in the Broncos game into the rest of the year and playing an exciting and enjoyable brand of footy.

“We turned up ready to play and we played some really good footy, so that fact doesn’t change at all.

“We know what effort has gone into the performance and the challenge now is building on that and taking it forward.” - NZME

Broncos bounce back from Warriors defeat A Darius Boyd hat-trick has inspired Brisbane’s 26-18 NRL win over Canberra at Suncorp Stadium on Thursday night, snapping a three-game losing run.

The Broncos finally came out of their funk against a gutsy Raiders outfit in front of 25,021 fans but it may have come at a price.

Utility back Jordan Kahu was forced off the field in the 54th minute with a suspected shoulder complaint.

Kahu had only slotted into the centres as a replacement for

England international Jack Reed, who is out indefinitely with his own shoulder complaint.

There were still plenty of positives for the Broncos.

Boyd scored a 14 minute hattrick to help Brisbane jump to a 24-0 lead by the 44th minute.

They then held on as former Bronco Kurt Baptiste bagged a double of his own to ensure some anxious moments for the hosts.

The Raiders arrived at Suncorp Stadium full of confidence with a top-four berth in sight if they

nabbed a fourth straight win.

But former ladder leaders Brisbane had other ideas.

Broncos captain Corey Parker ran out for his 336th NRL game, equalling Brad Fittler on fourth on the all-time games played list.

And it seemed nothing was going to stop him from celebrating the milestone, even fending off team-mate Anthony Milford on his way to opening the scoring in the 25th minute.

Boyd then recovered from an early neck complaint from a sus-

pected crusher tackle to beat Canberra halfback Aidan Sezer not once, but twice in four minutes – 30th and 34th – to give Brisbane a healthy 18-0 halftime buffer.

He bagged his hat-trick when he crossed in the 44th minute, handing Brisbane a 24-0 lead as alarm bells sounded for the visitors.

However, the Raiders were not done with yet.Baptiste’s double (59th, 77th) and a Blake Austin try with 14 minutes left kept Brisbane honest.

Raval gets Black Caps call-up Auckland opener Jeet Raval has been called up to the New Zealand team for their test tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Lefthander Raval has been picked on the back of a solid domestic season, in which he averaged 55.71, with three centuries, helping Auckland to the Plunket Shield title.

At 27, Raval has long been on the verge of making the national team, since hitting 256 against Central Districts in his debut season, 2008-09.

His first-class average is 43.85 and he’s hit 14 first-class centuries.

Coach Mike Hesson spoke of his “maturity and decision making continuing to grow” in naming the squad.

“He’s learnt to adapt to conditions and has performed well for New Zealand A, so we believe he’s more than ready to make the step up to the international arena,” Hesson said.

Legspinner Ish Sodhi gets a return to the test squad, from which he has been absent since late 2014 when he played all three tests against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.

His outstanding performances during the world T20 in India in March caught the eye.

The squad fly out on July 11 for an eight-day camp in Johannesburg, before the opening test against Zimbabwe on July 29. Both Zimbabwe tests will be played in Harare, while the South African matches are in Durban and Centurion.

New Zealand test squad for Zimbabwe and South Africa: Kane Williamson (c), Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Mark Craig, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls, Luke Ronchi, Jeet Raval, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sochi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling.

Mercedes still team to beat

By Roje AdAimy A cooled-off Daniel Ricciardo is hoping it’s a case of third time lucky in his attempt to topple Mercedes at this weekend’s Canadian Formula One Grand Prix.

The Australian Red Bull driver says he has moved on from the pit-stop debacle that cost him likely victory in Monaco just under a fortnight ago.

It was the second time in as many races Ricciardo had a potential win squandered through no fault of his own, with strategy cruelling his chances at the Spanish GP in May. He didn’t want to hear an ex-

Ashburton Guardian 21

planation from the team after the Monte Carlo mishap, but has since been told his crew didn’t have the proper tyres ready because they were at the back of the garage.

“I gave it a few days to cool off,” said Ricciardo, who finished second in Monaco.

“From my side now, I’ve moved on ... but I’ve been assured that if we’re in that position again then it won’t happen, so that was obviously what I needed and what I wanted to hear.”

Ricciardo, who had the benefit of Renault’s upgraded power unit in Monaco to finish second, believes there’s a realistic chance

Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo of bouncing back with a win on Sunday.

“That would obviously be a lovely way to bounce back,” said the 26-year-old.

“I think, realistically, Mercedes are still going to be – as expected – the ones to beat.

“I expect that we can be the next best, or I hope we can be the next best.

“How far we’re behind Mercedes, I’m not sure, but hopefully close enough to again put some pressure on them and grab a win.”

While engine power is key at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, its slow corners suit Red Bull’s impressive chassis.

Ricciardo sits third in the drivers’ standings, behind Mercedes duo Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton.

Fireworks a certainty in Isle of Man feature Eleven-time TT winner Phillip McCallen says he expects “fireworks” when Ian Hutchinson and Michael Dunlop go head-to-head in the six-lap Senior TT. The pair have dominated this year’s meeting on the Isle of Man throughout practice and race week.

The rivals face a high-speed finale in the blue riband event of the festival with both in record-breaking form.

“The fact they’re both riding BMW bikes for different teams gives the whole thing added spice,” McCallen said.

Dunlop raised the absolute lap record for the circuit to 133.39mph and Hutchinson went through the 132mph barrier in setting a new benchmark for the Superstock class.

“Michael stamped his authority by winning the Superbike race and you would have expected Ian to maybe be psychologically damaged by that, but he has responded by winning the next three races and the pendulum has swung in his favour again,” said McCallen.

“They have been the fastest men on track in every race and I’m not surprised by the high speeds and the fact Michael set the first sub-17 minute lap, because they are good bikes ridden by very good rider.

“I believe the lap record will go even higher on Friday as both guys will be

feeling confident, although there will be some pressure there too.”

Both riders will be aiming to add to the solitary Senior successes they have enjoyed in their careers to date and McCallen is reluctant to predict who will come out on top after the 226-mile race.

“It is years since we have had this kind of build-up to a Senior TT – it’s going to be close and I’m not sure which one is going to win.

Michael Dunlop secured success in the blue riband event in 2014 with the Hawk BMW team he is riding for this year “They are two very different personalities with different approaches – Michael is so determined and fiercely competitive, while Ian is professional, slick and organised.

“There are differences between them in that one is very much into corporate presentation while the other is a more humble set-up but one thing is for sure, the two riders are both fast.”

Yorkshireman Hutchinson, 36, who has now joined the legendary Mike Hailwood on 14 wins and 27-year-old Northern Irishman Dunlop, with 12 victories to his name, have set the pace all week.

McCallen expects that to continue, despite John McGuinness being in the field.

Paddon sixth in Italy Hayden Paddon has finished sixth equal in the opening stage of Rally Italy on the island of Sardinia. In his rebuilt Hyundai i20, Paddon completed the two kilometre super special in two minutes, one point seven seconds, matching the time of his team-mate Thierry Neuville.

Reigning world champion Sebastien Ogier was 1.3 seconds faster and leads the rally.

Federer’s solution Roger Federer had no sympathy for Maria Sharapova, saying he backs a “zero tolerance” stance against doping. Russian star Sharapova was handed a two-year doping ban after testing positive for the banned medication meldonium at the Australian Open. “I didn’t quite get into all the details but to me it’s about zero tolerance,” said Federer after his 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 victory over Taylor Fritz at the Stuttgart Open.

“You need to know what goes into your body, you have to be 100 per cent sure of what’s going on, if you’re not, you’re going to be damned.”

New Zealand runner Nick Willis finished fourth in the one mile at the Oslo Diamond League meet in Oslo yesterday. Willis, in training mode building up to August’s Rio Olympic Games, was, along with the rest of the field, unable to stay with Kenya’s classy three-time world champion Asbel Kiprop.

The Kenyan shot clear of the field, with two pacemakers for company, inside the first half of the opening lap and won in 3min 51.48s, the world best time this year.

Waikato gallops Today at Te Rapa Raceway

Majestic Champion might only be getting second billing in the Ken and Bev Kelso stable this weekend, but that doesn’t mean he will have to play second fiddle at Te Rapa today.

Sebring gelding Majestic Champion tackles the New World Te Rapa 1200 for two-year-olds as the only race winner in the set weights and penalties event.

While trainer Ken Kelso won’t be trackside to supervise Majestic Champion – he will be at Eagle Farm to saddle Gr.1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes winner Perfect Fit in the Gr.2 QTC Cup – he expects a bold run from his youngster at Te Rapa.

“He’s Hong Kong-owned and he’s got to get his rating up so that’s mainly why he’s there.

“He will go to Hong Kong if he continues to impress us and get his rating up,” Kelso said.

A winner at Te Rapa on debut last November, Majestic Champion was unplaced in each of his subsequent three starts but did tackle good company, finishing fifth in the Gr.3 Eclipse Stakes at Ellerslie before getting too far out of his ground in the $1 million Karaka Million at the same track in late January.

He has placed in two trials, at Cambridge and Te Awamutu, in preparation for today’s race in which he will be ridden by Cameron Lammas, who replaces Perfect Fit’s jockey Michael Coleman.

■ TRENTHAM

In brief

Ginner Hart well prepared Group One performer Ginner Hart is something of a surprise runner for today’s Chanui Organic Green Tea Handicap (1200m) at Trentham, but as always with Wanganui trainer Alexander Fieldes a lot of thought has gone into the preparation.

Fieldes brought the sevenyear-old back into training on

M3

January 1 with an eye to tackling autumn feature sprints at Hastings and Te Rapa, but firm tracks prevented him from starting in either.

“He’s a Volksraad that loves wet ground and he can jar up on firm tracks,” he said.

“It’s been four years since he raced in anything less than a

$40,000 race, but those kind of races generally aren’t in winter.

“He’s rising eight and he’s never had more than five starts in a season since he was three.

“The only race in winter for him that’s worth more than $40,000 is the Opunake Cup at $65,000 and you can’t go into that fresh up, so the game plan is to

Vespa ‘ideal signing’ Group One-winning sprinter Vespa is seen as a great fit to Wellfield Lodge’s stallion roster. The champion two-year-old of his year will begin his stud career at the Palmerston North farm in 2016 following his retirement earlier this year.

“We’re always looking for opportunities and when this one came along we had to take it – Vespa is an exciting horse who will ideally complement our other two stallions Alamosa and Road To Rock,” Wellfield’s Bill Gleeson said.

Ginner Hart has won four of his six starts fresh-up into a new campaign, However, TAB bookmakers installed the galloper as a $12 outsider as seventh favourite in the eight-horse field, with the North And South a $3 favourite ahead of Salamanca at $3.30.

Myers grabs Stradbroke ride Rosie Myers (right) has picked up a Group One ride at Eagle Farm today.

She is principally in Queensland to partner Benzini in the Gr.2 Brisbane Cup and she has also been claimed by Gold Coast trainer Toby Edmonds for The Virginian, who will carry just 50.5kg in the Stradbroke Handicap.

The three-year-old will face a massive jump in class after a last-start success, the second of his three-start career, in a class one event on his home track.

Meanwhile popular Gold Coast jockey Jason Taylor hopes his feeling of deja vu leading into the Stradbroke will turn into another win in the Group One race.

Taylor rides Takedown for trainer Gary Moore at Eagle Farm and the lead up to the $1.5 million race has been almost identical to when he won it five years ago on Sincero.- AAP

Where has all the snow gone?

Erin Tasker

W

hat a difference a couple of days can make.

Earlier this week everything was looking fantastic ahead of Mt Hutt’s opening day after one of the best pre-season snow dumps they’d had in years.

Then, they had to postpone by a day due to high winds which were forecast for yesterday. So the plan is to open today and, weather permitting, people should be heading up there in their droves for their first taste of skiing or snowboarding for the winter.

But a few people may have changed their minds after checking out the ski area’s webcams yesterday. Where has all the snow gone?

That nice, pleasant temperature we’ve all been enjoying the past couple of days, and the warmer than usual breeze that’s been drying our washing, has also taken a lot of snow off the mountain, prompting one person I spoke to yesterday to suggest the best action up there this weekend will be rock climbing.

Those warm temperatures have also put a halt to snowmaking up the mountain over the past couple of days.

So, unfortunately, the landscape has changed – dramatically.

Skifield staff are remaining positive though, and so they should. Early bird ticket sales went amazingly, and people are excited about the season starting, and there will be more snow to come. They’re even predicting 10 to 15cm tomorrow, which will make things look a whole lot better up there.

It’s the nature of the business.

A ski area relies on the weather. It needs snow to fall, or for temperatures to drop low enough to allow them to get their snow guns blasting. And if those ducks don’t line up, there’s trouble.

The snow will come though, and when it does, it’s going to be a good season, after some not so good years hampered by a lack of snow, and the impact of the Canterbury earthquakes.

All they need is for the weather Gods to smile upon them – we all do.

In a day and age where it often feels like all the news in the world is bad, and people are struggling, we need something good. A good ski season and the resulting boost in tourism will be just the ticket.

The Missing Massey Hanne Nielsen

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

T

hey’re orange, they’re shiny, they feature Sir Ed, and they’re now in circulation – New Zealand’s new $5 notes have been released.

Not everyone is happy about the changes, however, and the discord comes down to a famed article of farm machinery – or rather, the lack of. This is the case of the missing Massey Ferguson.

First up, it helps to go back to where the tractor was last seen.

Nestled in behind the text “Five Dollars,” it was present on all NZ $5 notes between 1992 and 2016.

Some may have interpreted the good old TE-20 as a symbol of New Zealand’s farming heritage, but its history goes far further south than Riverton or Bluff. In fact, it stretches all the way to the South Pole.

Sir Edmund Hillary has long been a hero and role model

figure in New Zealand. Famed for being the first to reach the summit of Mt Everest along with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953.

Hillary also led the Ross Sea Support Team laying depots for Sir Vivian Fuchs’ Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition.

Unlike the explorers of the Heroic Era such as Robert Falcon Scott, Hillary didn’t man-haul supplies. Instead, he was using Massey Ferguson tractors to make the trip from Scott Base all the way into the Antarctic interior – and make it they did.

Having lain the depots for Fuchs,

Hillary continued on to the South Pole, and on January 4, 1958 his party became only the third ever to have travelled overland to 90 degrees south.

The tractors graced book covers, and appeared on a postage stamp as recently as 2008. There’s even a Ferguson Glacier in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, named in honour of the machinery.

So that’s where it’s been, but where has the tractor gone? It’s been wiped off the face of the currency as part of the 2016 redesign, which sees blank space take its place. Such absence could

also be seen as a fitting way of describing the Antarctic plateau, albeit an oblique one. Long story short – the tractor is now out.

The good news for Cantabrians is that you don’t have to travel far to find the Ferguson in the flesh.

One of the original tractors has been put on display alongside another of Hillary’s machines, the Tucker Sno-Cat, as the centrepiece of the Canterbury Museum’s Antarctic hall.

For those with no penchant to travel to either the big city or the extremes of Antarctica, there is always another, milder option – just turn the new $5 note over.

The reverse side features an image of the Hoiho Yellow-Eyed Penguin, and a scene from Campbell Island, one of the New Zealand sub-Antarctic islands.

While it is not quite as far south as the pole, at least the island is located in the same direction.

Our money tells many stories, but sometimes it takes a change for the tales to reach the surface.

If nothing else, the now-absentyet-still-trusty Antarctic Massey Ferguson provides ample food for thought, and comes with a decent yarn.

EYE ON POLITICS

For those genuinely suffering from a lack of government-provided housing or otherwise facing the challenge of a mortgage well beyond their means, the future is about as bleak as it gets.

Telling such people they should not have brought so many children into the world is unlikely to bring them much comfort.

So, enter stage left, the warring politicians. The Opposition of whatever hue, need only – if very publicly – wring their hands, shake their heads and mutter, “it’s a disgrace”, or, “this is what you can expect after eight years of National government”, or a variety of pithy comments to that effect.

The Government, however, offers an elaborate explanation for the present imbroglio in which the “failings” of the local coun-

cil – especially the Super one in Auckland – are invariably held responsible. Hence the battle of wills and words between Minister Nick Smith and Mayor Len Brown.

Dr Smith’s beef is the reluctance of Mayor Len and his council team to make available sufficient land on which houses can actually be built. Mayor Len and his henchpeople want always to go ever upward rather than outwards to provide very “high-rise” units from which only a long-range bird’s-eye view is possible.

“Urban sprawl” is the enemy and Mayor Len seems prepared to go to the stake to prevent it.

One must admire his commitment to that normally worthy cause but on this occasion it may not be universally praised.

At more or less the same time, the Prime Minister tells us there are “affordable” houses in Auckland for less than $500,000 and some such available even on Trade Me. Elsewhere, he who would still be Prime Minister of Aotearoa, New Zealand, or, at the very least,

‘Homelessness’ he country is assailed on all sides by news and pictures of “the homeless” – as many as 50,000 of them – dossed down in over-crowded – if quite smart and some, late model – cars as well as dilapidated garages.

If such “desirable” accommodation is unavailable, the only practical alternative after that seems to be the street or beneath a bridge.

It is a grim prospect for those experiencing such a traumatic lifestyle. That there could really be 50,000 fellow citizens living in such abject surroundings is a cause of incredulity and dismay in a supposedly “First World” country such as ours.

However – and inevitably – the whole issue is now befogged in a pervasive cloud of political fallout, with the blame-game below in full swing. Can we believe all we hear and see? Is there more than meets the political eye?

We are told, for instance, that a proportion of the “homeless” prefer the garage, the car or the garden shed while the same can be said, apparently, even of some of the street dwellers.

the leader of the “King-Making” Party at next year’s election, Winston Peters has, not for the first time, informed us that the housing problem is caused first and foremost by the number of “immigrants” we are allowing into the country. And, surprisingly, Labour, leader Little seems to agree with him.

I wonder whether his newlyacquired Green friends feel similarly on the matter. Surely not.

And so it continues, both morning and night. The political fog swirls about with ever-increasing impenetrability while in the ghostly gloom the homeless hunker down for another winter night in the back or boot of their autos.

On Queen, Manchester, Willis, George or, perhaps even, Burnett, Streets, meanwhile, the “downand-outs” make their unsteady way to their pre-selected patch of pavement on which they lay their weary limbs and look forward to another night of dream-damaged sleep.

Is that really what is happening each evening as darkness falls all over the land?

■ IRAQ

No Aust NZ troops hurt in bomb blast A suicide car bomb has exploded outside a camp where Australian and New Zealand troops are training Iraqi soldiers, but none were hurt.

The blast hit a checkpoint outside the Taji camp perimeter and was one of two in Iraq yesterday, killing at least 22 Iraqis and injuring another 70.

An Australian government source confirmed none of the 300 Australian soldiers at Taji were hurt.

New Zealand’s Defence Minister Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee said none of the 106 New Zealand troops at Taji were injured in the blast.

“It is estimated the blast occurred between two and three kilometres from where New Zealand and Australian troops are accommodated,” he told New Zealand media.

Taji is a vast Iraqi military base covering some 36 square kilometres, located 30kms north of Baghdad. Australian and New Zealand troops occupy a secure compound inside the base, venturing out to train Iraqi soldiers at firing ranges and exercise areas.

Already some 7000 Iraqis have been instructed in infantry skills, with graduating units – many already veterans of fighting against Islamic State – heading straight back to the front lines.

The bomb outside Taji was likely the work of IS, which has launched a succession of car bomb attacks in and around Baghdad in a bid to draw Iraqi security forces away from their offensive against IS-controlled Fallujah.

Estate may open to public Prince’s estate officials are considering opening up the late icon’s fabled Paisley Park studios to the public. The Purple Rain superstar often invited fans to attend late night parties and shows at the compound just outside his native Minneapolis, Minnesota, and now executives at the estate’s special administrator Bremer Trust are looking into plans to turn the venue into a tourist attraction, similar to Elvis Presley’s Graceland, reports TheWrap.com. Court papers submitted as part of trustees’ request to bring in experts to help them manage the late singer’s music affairs also indicate the team of advisers will also provide “counsel on how to manage public tours of the grounds, facilities and buildings located at Paisley Park”.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth will reportedly tie the knot on the beach.

The Wrecking Ball hitmaker rekindled her romance with Liam in late 2015, two years after they called off their engagement, and this time they have both gone out of their way to keep the private reunion low-key. Miley has been spotted wearing the diamond ring The Hunger Games star gave her when he proposed on her left ring finger, and while the couple has yet to confirm if its wedding plans are officially back on, sources tell US Weekly magazine the pair are currently ironing out details. “They’re getting married on the beach,” a source tells the publication. “Their parents are doing most of the work. It’s been easy!”

Obama endorses Clinton for president US President Barack Obama has formally endorsed Hillary Clinton’s White House bid and called for the Democratic Party to unite behind her after a protracted battle with Bernie Sanders for the party nomination.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, said it “means the world” to her that Obama has her back.

Yesterday’s endorsement increases pressure on Sanders, a US senator from Vermont, to concede the race so the party can focus on campaigning against Donald Trump, the Republican presumptive nominee for the November 8 election.

“It is absolutely a joy and an honour that President Obama and I over the years have gone from fierce competitors to true friends,” Clinton told Reuters in an interview.

Obama defeated Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary and she went on to serve as secretary of state in his first term.

Obama, who enjoys strong approval ratings after nearly eight years in office, will campaign with Clinton next week in Wisconsin, her campaign said.

“I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,” Obama said of Clinton in a video. “I’m with her. I am fired up, and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary,” Obama said.

Obama had been expected to support Clinton since she won enough delegates this week to clinch the Democratic nomination and become the first woman to lead a major US party as its presidential nominee.

Sanders, who met with Obama at the White House earlier yesterday, said afterward he would work with Clinton to defeat Trump.

Sanders said, however, that he would stay in the race to compete in the final Democratic primary vote in Washington, DC, on June 14.

Dolly Parton is the latest musician to have one of her songs become a book.

Grosset & Dunlap, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, announced yesterday that it will release The Coat of Many Colors on October 18. Based on her Dolly Parton classic song about her childhood in rural Tennessee, the book will feature illustrations by Brooke Boynton Hughes and a downloadable song by Parton, Making Fun Ain’t Funny. “Every year I receive dozens of letters and emails from teachers talking about how they use the song (Coat of Many Colors) in their classroom to discuss being proud of who you are, that being different is not a bad thing, that every person is special and the terrible consequences of being bullied,” Parton, a longtime advocate for children’s literacy, said. “It has always made me feel honoured that my little song has been used in this way.”

Farewell to a legend As the faithful chanted a Muslim prayer in unison, dignitaries and fans stood shoulder to shoulder to honour a man who used his celebrity status to push for peace among races, religions and cultures.

On phones and screens around the globe, thousands more joined the service from afar through streams and broadcasts, watching a traditional Muslim funeral ceremony play out for one of their heroes.

The prayer service yesterday, known as jenazah, began two days of memorials that Muhammad Ali crafted himself in exacting detail years before his death.

He designed them with the intent to make them open to the world and to offer a view into a faith many Americans know little about.

“Ali was the people’s champion and champion he did the cause of his people,” said Sherman Jackson, a Muslim scholar who spoke at the service. Jackson said Ali did more to normalise the Islamic faith than anyone else, both in his life and in his death.

“Ali made being a Muslim cool,” he said. “Ali made being a Muslim dignified.”

More than 14,000 got tickets for yesterday’s service in Ali’s hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

Some travelled thousands of kilometres to attend. Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, boxing promoter Don King, former boxer Sugar Ray Leonard and Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, were among the high-profile guests in attendance.

He left after a decade in favour of mainstream Islam, which emphasises an embrace of all races and ethnicities.

Ali insisted he wanted the traditional Muslim ceremony to be open to all, organisers said.

The attendees were young and old; black and white; Muslims, Christians and Jews.

Some wore traditional Islamic clothing, others blue jeans or business suits. Outside the arena, millions more were able to watch. The term “jenazah” trended on Twitter as the service started.

The service lasted less than an hour. There was no stage or altar. Speakers stood in front of a black curtain on the ground near the casket that faced Mecca.

The crowd of thousands lined up directly in front of them, many holding their phones high in the air trying to capture video of the legend’s coffin.

Several speakers, including two Muslim women, described Ali’s impact on their own lives and as a champion for civil rights and acceptance of the Islamic faith.

A fellow Muslim who shares the boxing great’s name arrived in Kentucky with no hotel reservation, just a belief that his 12,872km pilgrimage was important to say goodbye to a person considered a hero of his faith.

Mohammad Ali from Bangladesh met the boxer in the early 1970s and they struck up a friendship based on their shared name. The Champ visited his home in 1978 and always joked he was his twin brother, he said.

He stood weeping at the funeral, a green Bangladeshi flag draped over his shoulder, holding snapshots he took of the boxer during his visit, one standing with his family, another of him sprawled on a bed in his home.

He delayed a scheduled open-heart surgery so he could travel around the world for the service.

In brief Thieves target tradies A tradie will think twice about leaving his muddy work pants in an unlocked van again after the vehicle was stolen from a housing estate in Melbourne’s west. Werribee police say the man left his pants, with the keys in the pockets, in the passenger seat with the door open and the van was stolen from outside the house he was working on. He wasn’t the only victim, as thieves also targeted other cars within the Tarneit estate, stealing iPads and wallets last week.

Two inmates critical Two inmates are fighting for life and two prison guards suffered burns after a fire broke out at a jail in the NSW Hunter region.

Police say the fire started in a cell at Cessnock Correctional Centre just after 8pm on Thursday. The prisoners, aged 21 and 24, were airlifted to Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital where they remain in a critical condition. Twelve correctional officers were treated for smoke inhalation, including two of them who were treated for burns, police said.

Auschwitz visit Britain is to hold a National Service of Thanksgiving in honour of Queen Elizabeth as it kicks off a weekend of events to mark the official 90th birthday of the country’s longestreigning monarch.

The church service today at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral, attended by a host of dignitaries including other members of the royal family and Prime Minister David Cameron, will be a double celebration for the Queen with Prince Philip, her husband of 68 years, marking his 95th birthday.

“Most especially today do we give thanks for the length of years that has been granted to our most gracious Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth: for her faithful devotion, dutiful commitment, loving leadership, gentle constancy, royal dignity and kindly humanity,” David Ison, the Dean of St Paul’s, will say.

The Queen, who has been on the throne for 64 years and is by far the oldest monarch in British history, turned 90 in April but in keeping with tradition to ensure celebrations take place in the (northern) summer, she also has an official birthday usually in June.

Tomorrow, the Queen will attend the traditional Trooping the Colour parade of soldiers in ceremonial uniforms in central London followed by a fly-past of Royal Air Force aircraft over Buckingham Palace.

To conclude the celebrations, the Queen hosts The Patrons Lunch for 10,000 guests at the largest street party to be held on the Mall, the grand avenue that leads to Buckingham Palace, an event organised by her grandson, Peter Phillips.

The guests will hail from some of the more than 600 charities and other organisations of which she is patron with the festivities beamed to large screens in the capital’s parks.

Pope Francis will visit the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau during a visit to Poland on July 29, the Vatican said. Both of Francis’s immediate predecessors, Pope Benedict XVI, a German, and Pope John Paul II, a Pole, also visited the site during their pontificates.

Nazi German occupying forces established the AuschwitzBirkenau Nazi camp during World War Two in the southern Polish town of Oswiecim, about 70km from Poland’s second city, Krakow. The visit will take place during Francis’s pre-planned trip to Krakow for an international gathering of Catholic youth.

Poland remains a staunchly Roman Catholic country.

Beaches that were closed in the wake of a shark attack that killed a 60-year-old diver off the Perth coast have reopened. The City of Wanneroo reopened beaches around Mindarie yesterday, five days after Edith Cowan University lecturer Doreen Ann Collyer was attacked by a suspected great white while diving about 1km off the beach. The council has urged people to take additional caution in the water in light of Sunday’s fatal mauling, which happened just days after 29-year-old surfer Ben Gerring died in hospital after he was attacked near Falcon, south of Perth.

Constitutional changes rejected

BY JONATHAN UNDERHILL Fonterra Co-operative Group says it will consider amending constitutional changes that would allow it to shrink its board and adopt a new system for electing farmer directors after failing to win support for the measures at a special meeting of shareholders.

The world’s biggest dairy exporter said 63.74 per cent of votes were cast in favour of the proposed changes to Fonterra’s constitution and Shareholders’ Council by-laws at yesterday’s meeting in Hamilton, short of the 75 per cent support required.

The board and council “will consider adjustments to the recommendations on the cooperative’s governance and representation model with a view to

bringing a revised proposal back to farmer shareholders before the end of the year,” chairman John Wilson said after the vote.

“We owe it to our farmers and to New Zealand to move this cooperative forward by developing

They want a system that gets the most knowledgeable and skilled candidates on to the board; and a process that encourages diversity and sees our most capable farmer shareholders put themselves forward.”

A majority of Fonterra’s farmer shareholders supported a proposal from fellow shareholders and former directors Colin Armer and Greg Gent to reduce the board to nine at the annual meeting last October but that vote also fell short of the 75 per cent needed, including a requirement for 50 per cent support of the Shareholders’ Council.

a model that gets the best possible talent onto the board in the future. I am confident we can develop a solution which secures a mandate,” he said.

Some farmers have lobbied for a smaller board and the proposal

put to the vote yesterday would have resulted in seven farmer directors and four independents, compared to the nine farmers and four independents currently.

The chairman is elected by the board and would remain a farmer director.

The new voting process for farmer directors would have ditched the single transferable voting system, which has been criticised for politicising elections, in favour of a nominations committee putting forward candidates who would need at least 50 per cent support to join the board.

BY LILLY VITOROVICH Virgin Australia will be about onethird owned by Chinese companies after Air New Zealand agreed to sell the bulk of its shareholding to the Nanshan Group conglomerate.

Air NZ has agreed to sell a 19.98 per cent stake in Australia’s second biggest airline to Nanshan for $301.4 million, or 33 cents a share.

The shares were valued at 28 cents before the start of trade on Friday.

“We believe Nanshan Group will be a very strong, positive and complementary shareholder for

Virgin Australia,” Air NZ chairman Tony Carter said in a statement.

Virgin said it looks forward to meeting with Nanshan, which has interests across a diverse range of industries and launched Qingdao Airlines in April 2014, over the coming weeks to discuss the proposed transaction.

Nanshan will nominate a representative for the board, which Virgin will consider.

Air NZ’s sell-down comes less than two weeks after Virgin Australia announced a strategic commercial alliance with HNA Group, which will include China’s biggest private airline operator buying a

13 per cent stake for $159 million.

HNA plans to increase its shareholding in Virgin to 19.99 per cent over time.

Air NZ said Nanshan intends to support the outcome of the Virgin’s capital structure review, which was announced in March.

Air NZ said options regarding its remaining Virgin shareholding will be considered in due course.

Air NZ’s current 25.9 per cent stake in Virgin is expected to be diluted to about 22.5 per cent because of the Virgin-HNA tie-up, which will include the issue of new Virgin shares.

Both share deals need Chinese regulatory approval.

Investing in retirement I

n retirement, your financial assets (as distinct from your home or any other forms of property you own), may include KiwiSaver, sums deposited in the bank, company shares you’ve purchased from time to time, fixed interest investments (eg Government or corporate bonds), or other investment securities.

In total, these financial assets will have a direct influence on the quality of life you’ll enjoy in retirement.

In thinking about your financial assets, it’s important to fully consider what they can potentially do for you.

For example, they can create additional income to complement NZ Super or other forms of pension you receive, they can create a legacy for your children or grandchildren, or they can allow you to spend more time doing things you were not able to so easily do in your working years eg overseas travel.

They also have the capability to support you should you suffer illness or age-related difficulty as

you grow older. Potentially, with the right mix of investments, you can achieve your goals.

A key characteristic of financial assets is that they can grow (or fall) in value, as well as generate income. The decisions on how and what to invest in can become confusing.

It is important to identify your own appetite for investment risk, investment time-frame, income requirements, and future capital needs so that you can decide upon the most appropriate asset allocation (the spread of capital across the main investment classes).

The proportion of funds in each asset class will have a material influence on the return an investor receives and the risk

taken to achieve that return. In thinking about these decisions, the trade-off between the risk of losing money for the prospect of better returns is one that needs to be carefully considered.

That’s why it’s important to be clear on what you want your money to do for you.

By understanding your lifestyle goals in retirement and the financial implications of these goals, you can start the process of deciding where to invest your money.

We recommend obtaining investment advice from an authorised financial adviser and working together to create a diversified, well researched, personalised investment plan to help you identify and achieve realistic investment goals.

11/6 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Making money has more to do with finding a niche and working it than it does to luck right now. This will start with a special interest. There’s something you’re wonderful at.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Everyone falls into ruts from time to time. If you’re no longer going forward, look for something that will help you lever yourself onto a path that allows greater ease of movement.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): What you’re in love with at the moment may not be a person at all. This feeling you have makes everything outside it less important, including issues or problems.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Savoir-faire will move you along a career path, give you standing in a social group or position you in a family circle. Diplomacy will advance your interests faster than aggression.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): With the introduction of a new person to your circle, a subtle new enthusiasm will take hold. Where you were having negative and neutral thoughts, only positive feelings will remain.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Breath is the anchor to life. Your breathing has a story to tell you. What makes you catch your breath? What makes you hold it? When is it deeper? What makes you exhale?

Awareness of breath is awareness of life.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re the real deal, walking your talk every day. Since you’re always ready to meet and impress powerful people who can help you achieve your aims, it would be impossible for a networking opportunity to catch you by surprise.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Do you get the subtle feeling that being around a certain someone makes you a better person? This isn’t in your head. There’s an energy bump that comes with this person’s nearness, and you’re making the most of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ve kept your word and should not accept anything less than integrity from those around you. Love is a risk. You’re not going to take risks if you don’t trust people.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There’s trouble that pains you and then there’s trouble you enjoy. You’re ready for a little of both and it will come all wrapped in the same venture. Of course, you wouldn’t even attempt this is the prize wasn’t worth it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): When you turn away from the external goings-on and journey inside yourself, you won’t be alone, there are worlds inside you, too – some more compelling than the outside.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Not all offers are excellent now. There are some opportunities you simply can’t get excited about, and it’s acceptable to leave those on the table for someone else to take advantage of.
