And the nominees are P13-20

Mount Hutt College students are scrambling to come up with a new plan in the wake of a court ruling which brought plans for the school’s traditional afterball party to an abrupt end.

Mount Hutt and Ashburton colleges were advised of the decision on Monday when police wrote to all Canterbury secondary school principals.

The letter included a warning that those organising BYO parties with an entry fee faced fines of up to $20,000 – irrespective of the age of participants.

Community alcohol and drug service Acads had successfully run after-ball parties for both schools for almost two decades, with the aim of mitigating the risks associated with private parties.

Under the Acads formula, students were limited to six standard alcoholic drinks and had to be inside the party venue within 20 minutes of the ball end-

ing. Up to 30 volunteers helped run the events, where bottled water, food and transport home was provided.

The events also offered an opportunity to educate students about responsible drinking and personal safety, Acads manager Chris Clark said.

The decision will impact on revellers nationwide, however just a fortnight from the big day, the Mount Hutt ball committee is running out of time to make alternative arrangements.

The committee hopes to press on with the “when I grow up” themed party, sans alcohol and is working with the school’s youth mentor Juanita Richards to this end.

Committee member Emma Luscombe said there were concerns some students would plan private parties.

“Parents are also worried about the possibility of out-of-control parties,” she said. “The organised after-ball party was an opportunity to experience social

drinking in a safe environment before we leave home next year.”

Parents and caregivers of students at both colleges have been advised of their obligations in hosting parties for under 18-year-olds.

Ashburton police Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said the Acads team had done a good job of changing the culture of youth parties in the district over the years.

He said it was important to remember young people have been seriously injured and killed after attending parties and events where alcohol had been flowing.

“With this decision and the rules around health and safety, individuals and organisations will be held accountable for any negative incident that occurs at an event they plan and formally support,” he said.

■ SAFER ASHBURTON

Town safety ambassadors out of a job

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Safer Ashburton’s safety ambassador programme is about to be wound up putting five people out of a job.

The late night street patrol teams were formed in late 2008 to provide a non-threatening after-dark presence on Ashburton streets and to observe and provide information that could be passed on to the police.

Initially the programme was funded solely by the Ashburton District Council but in recent years the council and the Ministry of Justice have shared the funding, about $25,000 each.

The Ministry has pulled out of the funding deal and Safer Ashburton had asked the council to cover the full cost of the programme. At a committee meeting tomorrow it is likely to say no.

And if the recommendation to cease funding is confirmed, Safer Ashburton manager Kevin Clifford said he will be bitterly disappointed.

“We haven’t been consulted on this. I understood they were going to review it and I understood we’d be consulted but now we’ve found out they’re not going to fund us any longer,” he said.

The council cited difficulty in finding staff and a belief that the organisation’s work had been overtaken by a combination of other organisations and technol-

ogy, but that was not correct, Mr Clifford said. “We’ve got a staffing of five and we only have two on at a time so we don’t have any issues around staffing or anything really.

I’m not sure what information they base this on.”

The programme developed after an approach to the council by inner town business owners concerned at the level of violence and anti-social behaviour in the business area at night. Safer Ashburton was contracted to develop the project.

“I’m just disappointed that the people who run this programme and work within it have not been consulted. No process has occurred to assess whether there could be better value for this money,” Mr Clifford said Mayor Angus McKay, however, said he was quite comfortable with the decision to no longer fund the safety ambassadors.

With police and other agencies working in the town centre after dark, the programme was less effective now than in the past and the money could be diverted elsewhere, Mr McKay said.

“We’re putting this into cameras and this sort of thing. This has been a collective decision.

The ambassadors have done a tremendous job over the years but with new technology and new ways of police investigations the way forward seems to be a bit more futuristic,” Mr McKay said.

After-ball axing a shock for students

By SuSaN SaNdyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College students reacted with shock to the news that their after-ball party would be axed this year.

“It’s just a shock, we didn’t even expect it, it’s just random,” head girl Gemma Duncan said yesterday.

“You don’t really know how to react to it. There’s a lot of mixed emotions around the school,” head boy Kerry Claydon-Wade said.

“The ball is great, and to have the after-ball was kind of like to top it off, a really good night,” he added.

However, the head students and their fellow Ashburton College student executive members

trolled environment,” Kerry said.

Student executive member Madeleine Evans said the decision to can the parties, considering the law, was completely understandable.

Fellow member Katie Read agreed, saying it was a tough stance to take, but one that had been required.

The group believed the cancellation would open up the possibility of private parties with greater risks for students involved. As a student executive they would have no part in organising any such parties, however, and advised anyone who was to organise such events to involve police if possible.

The Ashburton College ball is on July 1.

were putting on a brave face when they spoke to the Guardian yesterday, and said they completely understood the Acads decision to withdraw from holding the event.

Most had older siblings who had been able to go to the event in the past, and they had been lucky enough to attend the last Acads-organised after-ball last year.

They said as an event it had been second-to-none. It had been held successfully for 17 years and represented an effective partnership between Acads and the community.

It had been a safe partying environment with rules in place and parents involved.

“And the parents didn’t have to worry because it was in a con-

Grow Mid Canty out of business?

By Sue NewmaN

by Peter Winder was presented to the council. It took a microscope to Grow Mid Canterbury’s operations and found it wanting. Mr Winder told councillors they had several options for delivering economic development work in the district that ranged from the status quo through to council doing the job itself or looking at a range of other providers.

The council commissioned the report because it wanted a clear indication of where the $245,000

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Grow Mid Canterbury’s funding lifeline is likely to be cut by the Ashburton District Council from the end of June.

On the heels of a damning council commissioned review, councillors will vote tomorrow on the organisation’s funding future, but the recommendation by staff is that the council severs ties with the economic development body.

Last month a report prepared

it gave the organisation each year, was used. In his report Mr Winder raised red flags over many aspects of Grow Mid Canterbury’s ability to deliver economic development activities within the district on behalf of the council.

The report recommends the council advise Grow Mid Canterbury that the service level agreement it has with the council will not be renewed after June 30. This effectively cuts all funding from the council to the organisation.

If councillors agree, then the council will develop a new economic strategy plan.

The council’s grant is about one-third of the total income Grow Mid Canterbury receives said its chief executive Rob Brawley.

Remaining funds come from a variety of sources and are generally tagged to individual projects the organisation undertakes.

While the council appeared likely to sever its ties with Grow

Mid Canterbury, Mr Brawley said the board was still working through its future options and had yet to decide whether it could remain in business without the council as a funding partner.

If Grow Mid Canterbury does not continue in business that could place in jeopardy several other services it provides for other organisations, including two involving school leavers, Youth Transition and Gateway and a GP Recruitment scheme.

Methven residents set to light up town again this year

By SuSaN SaNdyS

by The Dubliner, and other businesses to be lit up would include Big Al’s and Crossroads bar and restaurant.

Methven resident Frank Sandys said he would be coming to the party with his Christmas lights, for a mid-year Christmas style project at his house on Hobbs Road.

Methven had its inaugural winter lights project last year, and Mr Sheppard said he was hoping to see it grow every year.

This year’s festival would include fire eaters. A night market would be held in conjunction with the event in the square, and there would be stalls, bouncy castles and live music.

“I just can’t believe how many people are coming on board with it, it’s amazing this year,” Mr Sheppard said.

It would be the first time the lantern parade had been held. There would be a gold coin donation for entry and there would be a prize for the best lantern.

The parade would begin on Kilworth Street and travel about 100 metres to the square. Children would make their own lanterns out of paper or inflammable material, lit by a torch or tea-light candle.

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

Methven will turn on its winter lights in a ceremony aimed at entertaining residents and attracting tourists.

The Methven Lighting Up Ceremony 2016 will be held on June 5, the Sunday of Queen’s Birthday weekend, from 5pm onwards.

There will be a lantern parade, night market and fire-eaters, and the town’s new decorative lights will be turned on at 6.30pm.

Organised by Methven Action Committee, the event will feature an extra 300 metres of rope lights, which will add to the current winter rope lights in the town centre along Main Street. The project runs for the winter, adding to a nighttime ski village feel.

Spokesperson Richard Sheppard said the extra lights would be installed later this month. They would go up Forest Drive from the Brown Pub to the Green Parrot, and then along McMillan Street to Four Square and across the road from Primo Café to Arabica Café.

The historic Anglican Church building across the road was to be lit up with 150 metres of green lights which had been donated

■ ASHBURTON ZONE COMMITTEE

Chairwoman takes ECan role

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton Zone Committee chairwoman Donna Field has stepped down to take on a job with Environment Canterbury.

Ms Field, who farms with husband Ben Todhunter on Cleardale Station in the Rakaia Gorge, has headed up the committee for almost three years and has sat on it since its inception in 2010.

Her resignation comes with some regret but her new position, which begins next week, would present a conflict of interest.

“I would have loved to have stayed on the zone committee, but I can’t unfortunately,” Ms Field said.

Working with the other members of the committee has been a highlight of her involvement, and together the team has made considerable progress in implementing the strategy in the Mid Canterbury district and raising public awareness.

“We’ve imposed minimum flows on most of the rivers in the district and worked on trying to

In her new role with ECan, she will be working in the zone implementation team, headed up by Donna Lill and in the land

“Those are probably the key things, but we’re in it for the long haul. There’s no quick fixes here, everything takes time to achieve

management and biodiversity team in a three-day a week job share position.

“I’m really excited about it,” she said.

“Donna Lill is very good and it will be great to have a team working between the Rakaia and Rangitata rivers.

“I’ve always been interested in land management and if I could have stayed on the zone committee I would have.

“I will still be working alongside the zone committee, but they will be telling me what to do now.”

Ashburton was the third of 10 zone committees established under the Canterbury Water Management Strategy.

The committee works with the local community to develop a plan to implement the goals and actions of the strategy within Ashburton District and links with other zone programmes throughout Canterbury.

It also approves funding for projects under the biodiversity protection and restoration programme.

Diversion for Slater The blogger who was infamously hacked and then exposed in Dirty Politics has admitted hiring someone to illegally access the computer files of opponents.

Whaleoil’s Cameron Slater has been granted diversion by police for attempting to hire Ben Rachinger for $5000 to get into the left wing The Standard blog.

Instead of being convicted and sentenced, he has arranged to do 40 hours’ work for the children’s charity Kidscan. Judge Richard McIlraith said: “He has accepted his guilt and embarked upon a programme of diversion to address that.”

■ HIGH COURT CHRISTCHURCH

Robbery gone wrong ‘an unusual case factually’ A Rakaia man due to stand trial this week for murdering a lowlevel North Canterbury drug dealer during a robbery gone wrong has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Shaun Murray Robert Innes, 39, was found guilty by a High Court jury in Christchurch of murdering 51-year-old Rangiora man Tony John Lochhead on September 13, 2014.

His co-accused, Jason William Baker, 40, was also found guilty and jailed for life with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years for his role in using a hunting knife to fatally stab Mr Lochhead and wound his brother, Peter Graham Lochhead, 54.

Innes was sentenced in the High Court at Christchurch to 10

In brief

be sentenced on June 3.

Jonathan Eaton QC said it was an “unusual case, factually” and noted that Innes had already served “quite a significant term” in jail.

The 2014 trial heard that the pair had arrived at the Lochheads’ White Street flat in Rangiora with the plan of robbing them of drugs, guns and cash.

But while Baker, from Christchurch, attacked them, Innes ran off.

And the brothers fought back in self-defence.

Baker cut Tony on his chest, arms, face, neck, ear and lower arm with a hunting knife.

“He got me, he got me f****** good”, he said, before collapsing to the floor, with blood coming

years in jail, with no non-parole period, given that his role on the fateful night, was to simply knock on the Lochhead’s door and lure them outside, before he ran away.

He appealed the conviction and sentence and was due to face a two-week retrial beginning on Monday.

However, as a jury selection panel gathered in the High Court at Christchurch on Monday morning, Innes pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of manslaughter.

The charge of murder, and one of aggravated wounding, were dropped.

Justice Cameron Mander convicted Innes of manslaughter and remanded him on continued electronically-monitored bail to

out of his throat. Peter received non-fatal cut injuries.

Innes and Baker were arrested in the following days.

At sentencing, Justice Rachel Dunningham accepted Innes had played a lesser role.

“I’m satisfied that you, Innes, were not present when the fatal stab wound occurred,” she said.

“The jury was clearly of the view that you went there with a common intention to rob the Lochheads and that you had played your part in enticing them out of the flat.”

Crown prosecutor Pip Currie earlier said the suffering and effects of the “robbery gone wrong, [that] turned into a murder” will be long-standing for the family.

An emu roamed the streets of a Northland town yesterday until firefighters caught the flightless bird. The bird escaped from its paddock and locals called emergency services about 1.30pm as it wandered around Mangawhai. But rather than stick their heads in the sand, members of the Mangawhai and Kaiwaka fire brigades got to work rounding it up. “We went and helped and got it secured in a van,” a Fire Service spokesman said. He said it was caught through “lots of running round and arm waving”.

■ ASHBURTON CAFE

Café, customers support breast cancer research Ashburton’s Robert Harris staff are doing their bit to help beat breast cancer this month.

The nationwide Robert Harris campaign will contribute 10 per cent of the cost of every breakfast served throughout the month of May to the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation’s Pink Ribbon Appeal.

The Ashburton café owner Deb King said it was the third time the franchise had participated in the appeal and staff were happy to be involved in the worthy cause.

“We’ve got Pink Ribbon aprons, pink food and have decorated the café to support the appeal,” she said.

One in nine New Zealanders will be affected by breast cancer in their life time, with more than 3000 people diagnosed every year.

The Robert Harris franchise aims to raise $100,000 in this year’s campaign, franchise manager David Thackery said.

The money will be used to fund breast cancer research, the foundation’s CEO Evangelia Henderson said.

School trialling longer lessons

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Mount Hutt College is following a national trend and trialling a new approach for their lessons times.

The college is among many around the country who are extending their class times to improve learning for students.

Acting principal Kristine Canham said their lessons are an hour long but this year they are trialling several double periods for senior students two days a week.

One of those lessons is broken up by a lunch break and the other is two back-to-back hour-long lessons.

The decision to trial double periods came about from conversations within the education world about the benefits of having long lessons.

“We’re certainly aware of the professional discussion and we are always looking at how we can change things and improve learning.”

0 2 $ WA

AL V O M X RE

These periods will be monitored throughout the year and if successful could be implemented on a more permanent basis, she said.

Having longer lessons can be good because less time is wasted setting up equipment and it means students can focus on one subject for a longer period of time.

So far during the trial teachers have noticed that the double period with a lunch break in the middle has been very positive.

Students have talked about

what they learnt with their peers at lunch time and have been able to reflect on the lesson and process the information before coming back to the classroom refreshed and ready to get back to learning, Mrs Canham said.

Ashburton College has hourlong lessons and does not have any plans to extend these any time soon.

However, acting principal Andrea Pearce said it could be something to be considered in the

future because of the known benefits of having longer lessons.

“There are advantages and disadvantages for both.”

Shorter lessons are good for those students who have trouble concentrating for long periods of time and longer lessons mean students can really immerse themselves in a subject, she said.

There are a number of different lesson configurations that could be done and this would need to be reviewed.

Tough competition for still life Three winners have been named out of a whopping 128 entries into the Ashburton Art Gallery’s Creative Still Life Competition.

The competition, which ran throughout April, had entries with a diverse range of approaches to drawing the display of fruit, fabric and ornamental objects at the gallery.

Artist Jan Chaffey had the hard task of choosing the winners and chose Brooke O’Connor to receive top prize in the adult category.

Her work captured a special essence with great composition, completion and handling of colour, Chaffey said.

The first prize for the youth category was jointly awarded to Keziah Harris, 7, and Sarah Chapman, 10.

Both works were outstanding for different reasons, she said.

“Sarah’s work was well-considered, composed and showed great artistic potential, while Keziah’s work was simple, direct and had a touch of magic.”

The winning works are currently on display at the gallery along with 13 merit winners and a few staff picks.

Brooke O’Connor came out on top in the adult section of the Ashburton Art Gallery’s Creative Still Life Competition.

■ METSERVICE

Warnings as heavy weather bears down MetService has issued severe weather warnings for some South Island areas as a large trough, preceded by a strong northerly flow, bears down on the country.

This trough is expected to bring heavy rain to Fiordland and the ranges of Westland, and could spill over into the headwaters of the Otago lakes and rivers.

MetService said Fiordland could expect 120mm of rain in a nine-hour period starting last evening, while the ranges

of Westland could cop 180mm from last night until this afternoon.

Thunderstorms were possible in some areas as well.

More heavy rain was likely later this week, which could lead to some streams and rivers rising rapidly, making conditions difficult for trampers.

Further north, severe northwest gales gusting 130km/h were likely in exposed parts of the Canterbury high country from last night through to this afternoon.

Councillor Gary Caffell yesterday signalled his intention to file a Notice of Motion to be included on the agenda for the next Policy and Finance Committee meeting calling on council not to act on the decision until after the Local Body elections in October, thereby allowing an incoming council to enact the decision “if they so wish”.

Mr Caffell said in recommen-

dations made to councillors who met at a full council meeting last week there was no mention of when the decision would be invoked, although in accompanying notes it was stated the process to recruit the two iwi representatives – one from Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and the other from Rangitane o Wairarapa – could start almost immediately, with appointments potentially made by the start of the new financial year, July 1.

Mr Caffell said in the notes it was said if the proposal was postponed and there were significant changes to council’s membership there was a risk there may not be

the same “momentum” to progress the proposal. That outcome would not be in line with the council’s “objective of being more inclusive and engaging more effectively with Maori”.

“I believe that statement to be completely out of line because it suggests the existing council is better placed to make the decision than a new council which I think is actually a slight on those seeking election in October.

“In fact, they could be better placed to progress any proposal as they would have had the benefit of hearing both sides of the debate, something existing coun-

cillors have not had.

“It could be fairly argued their decision, or decisions, would actually be better informed,” Mr Caffell said.

He said the notes also say at the beginning of each triennium the mayor has the right to establish a committee structure that he or she believes would best support the council.

Existing committee structures could therefore change following the October 8 elections, and the new council would have to reappoint the iwi representatives – if they chose to – to policy and finance, or an alternative commit-

tee should the committee structure change.

“I think it is misleading too to say the May council decision was well consulted, particularly with the public.

“Sure there was a mention in the air but nowhere was there talk of appointments to policy and finance, voting rights and payments of $200 each a meeting.

“That only became known to councillors within 24 hours of the meeting and to the general public in the media the following day.

“If that’s a good consultation process then I’d hate to see a bad one,” Mr Caffell said.

Education key in consuming alcohol safely Sue Newman

T

he saga of the cancelled afterball party is not going away.

It hit the headlines in Ashburton yesterday and was picked up around the country, tossing the plans of thousands of teenagers for their biggest night of the year into total disarray.

Ashburton is not alone in facing after-ball parties where alcohol is served now being illegal; we were just the first to face up to the new licensing deal.

The ripples from the party cancellation will be huge, but the rules are clear. Organise a BYO after-ball party and you could be prosecuted and fined – up to $20,000. That’s an awful lot of fundraising cheese rolls to make.

Clearly schools have just two options, cancel their after match party or hold one where alcohol is banned.

For the students, that ban would make the party much less attractive. Most don’t want to go out and get smashed, rather the ball and the after party are an occasion when they can dress up and be adults for an evening.

The rules around the district’s school ball parties were always strict. A tough limit on the amount of alcohol that could be taken into a venue, food and water provided and supervision at a high level.

The police have done what they were required to do, enforce the law, but the one size fits all legislation has ended up penalising the good guys like Ashburton’s two schools along with the rest.

Mount Hutt College is looking at still holding its event, sans alcohol, but how many students will attend?

The consumption of alcohol is so entrenched in the Kiwi psyche that its availability is just taken for granted at most events. People react with surprise when they’re told something is alcohol-free. Tell someone you don’t drink and the reaction is interesting. It’s always one of surprise. Ask anyone who chooses not to drink and they’ll tell you they almost feel obliged to explain why.

What these well supervised events were about as much as being a great social occasion, was helping young adults understand that consuming alcohol is okay, in moderation in an appropriate social setting.

With the stroke of a pen, that opportunity has been lost and on their one special night of the year, senior students will now be cut loose, the controls will be off.

CONTACTS News tips Efficiency is the name of the game when it comes to business – even dairy business and FarmTune can point dairy farmers in the right direction to cost savings.

Giving FarmTune a hand I

thought it would be worthwhile to give an update on a project GMC has been working on recently.

FarmTune GMC has been assisting Dairy NZ and Sarah Watson of People Mad Consulting to run a very successful programme, called FarmTune, in Mid Canterbury.

It was developed by Dairy NZ especially for dairy farmers and incorporates the principles of ‘LEAN’ as well as other areas relevant to dairy farming.

LEAN is an approach developed in the manufacturing industry that focuses on efficiency and continuous improvement, but which is widely applicable to most industries.

The benefits the FarmTune programme has offered are quite surprising and in many cases have resulted in a reduction in hours of work – pretty valuable on busy dairy farms! So, as you can imagine, it’s very relevant and timely at the moment.

The need for a programme like this has probably never been greater for the agricultural industry in the face of very low prices for key products and the challenges that result from that.

Dairy NZ, with Sarah, developed FarmTune, a business efficiency programme that is mainly funded by DairyNZ, although Grow Mid Canterbury assisted the Mid Canterbury farms that took part to access grants towards their costs.

FarmTune is a dairy specific

programme that is based on LEAN principles and learnings from dairy businesses that have implemented LEAN principles already.

The programme is managed by Sarah Watson from People MAD and is presented in conjunction with LEAN experts and dairy farm consultants.

Farmers and their staff attended eight workshop sessions to learn about things such as opportunities for improvement and how to design systems and processes that reduce wastage and stress.

The programme was tested in Southland last year, and this season the pilot FarmTune programme was also rolled out in Waikato and in Mid Canterbury with GMC’s help.

Some of the benefits farmers have identified from completing the programme include: ■ Reductions in waste ■ Improvements in time management ■ Cost reductions ■ More efficient processes ■ Ability to more quickly cope with changes in the farm system or business environment ■ Better work environment for

the team and ■ Improved staff retention The FarmTune programme and the LEAN concept are about continuous improvement and are therefore an ongoing process rather than a one off activity.

Having an ongoing focus on LEAN, such as through a network that meets several times a year is an important part of helping farmers and businesses incorporate what they have learned from LEAN into their business on a long-term basis.

Grow Mid Canterbury is working with Sarah and Dairy NZ to establish a LEAN network to support those farmers that complete the FarmTune programme. We plan to link it with the existing LEAN network that GMC set up with Business Mid Canterbury for local manufacturing businesses that have completed LEAN programmes in the past.

And further FarmTune courses are planned for Central and Mid Canterbury and GMC will be looking to support them and identify farmers that could benefit from the programme.

The FarmTune programme supports the action area of ‘continuous improvement’ under the Agri-business work stream in the Mid Canterbury economic strategy. Those work streams have been in place since consultation on the strategy commenced and activities under them continue to be developed.

The consultation has been completed and the final strat-

Deadly tornadoes strike

BY SEAN MURPHY Tornadoes swept across portions of the Plains yesterday, killing two people in Oklahoma including an elderly man who was inside a home that was torn apart by one of the violent storms.

An emergency management director said a man believed to be in his upper 70s died when a tornado hit a home near Wynnewood, south of Oklahoma City.

Authorities also confirmed the death of a man near the town of Connerville, Johnston County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Stacey Pulley said.

The storm was considered so violent that forecasters declared a “tornado emergency” for communities in the twister’s path.

“You are in a life-threatening situation,” forecasters declared while warning the communities of Roff, population 725, and Hickory, population 71, which were ultimately spared major damage.

“Flying debris will be deadly to those caught without shelter.”

Dana Lance was driving through the Pontotoc County community of Roff on her way home from work when the skies grew ominous, and she heard tornado sirens and forecasters on the radio urging people in the area to take cover.

Kenny Baker (right) and Tony Scheuerman help to clean up after a tornado destroyed a home in Wynnewood, Oklahoma yesterday.

PHOTO AP “I parked and went into the school, which has a safe room,” Lance said.

“There were kids and elderly people, dogs and cats, babies.

It was like the whole town was there.”

One person sustained minor injuries in Murray County, where the tornado moved slowly through a rural area on its path that would take it

south of Roff, said Gary Ligon, Murray County’s emergency management director.

Ligon said the injured person was taken to a hospital but the nature of the injury was not immediately known.

The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, warned that twisters as far north as Nebraska and Iowa could develop overnight.

The bad weather should settle in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys today, forecasters said, while another storm system should bring bad weather to the area from north Texas to near St. Louis tomorrow.

Yesterday’s series of violent thunderstorms dropped tornadoes near Oklahoma City and in the rolling hills south of the city, destroying some homes and barns.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol closed Interstate 35 near Wynnewood for 15 minutes so the storm could pass, temporarily shutting down the primary route between Oklahoma City and Dallas.

Garvin County Emergency Management Director Bud Ramming said early yesterday that the fatality was the only known injury reported to his office.

Television images showed homes destroyed, multiple overturned vehicles and trees torn limb to limb. A roof lay near a hay barn after the first tornado reports.

Meteorologists said twisters with wind speeds above 111 mph were possible from eastern Oklahoma to central Arkansas.

Hail two inches or more in diameter was possible from eastern Texas to southeastern Kansas. About 41 million people from Houston to Sioux City, Iowa, were at risk for some type of stormy weather.

Adopted daughter has a twin

BY COLBY ITKOWITZ Lisa Lumpkins was scrolling Facebook when she first saw the photo.

In her newsfeed, a group that identified older children in need of adoption had posted a picture of a teenage Chinese girl who looked strikingly like her own daughter.

The image bore into her mind and she couldn’t shake it.

She thought maybe she was imagining the similarity. So she shared the post on her personal page and almost instantly close family and friends were messaging her: That girl looks a lot like Aubrey.

Lumpkins and her husband, Gene, lived a comfortable life in Georgetown, Kentucky. with two children, 7 and 14, a mortgage and a Lexus in the garage.

She was done having biological children, but ever since she was a young girl playing with her baby dolls, she’d felt a pull to adopt.

Her husband felt it, too.

They decided to adopt a child from China, and origi-

Side-by-side photos of Avery (left) and Aubrey. nally were signed up for a traditional adoption.

But then they heard about special-needs adoptions and knew those were the children who needed them the most.

Lumpkins, 43, is terrified of flying and had never been on an aeroplane – aside from a quick commuter trip that she took to prepare herself – before she flew across the world in 2008 to get her first Chinese baby, Maya – an 18-month-old girl with bowel and gallbladder complications.

When she brought Maya home, she couldn’t stop thinking about the other children left behind in the orphanage.

“I felt like I left a part of my heart in China,” she said.

Since then, she and her husband have adopted three more children from China: Noah in 2010, Aubrey in 2013 and Carter in 2014.

The Lumpkinses traded in their classy Lexus for a used 1999 Toyota minivan.

They used to derive pleasure from collectible cars and mo-

torcycles and vacations.

But they cut back on all of that to save money for the adoption costs – about $35,000 per child when all was said and done.

It was early March when Lumpkins saw the photo of the girl who she thought looked like Aubrey.

She contacted the orphanage in China and was amazed that it agreed to let her pay for a DNA test, she said.

She sent in a swab of Aubrey’s saliva and soon it was confirmed: The girl, whose name is Avery, was her daughter’s twin.

Aubrey never knew she had a sister.

“God, I know you didn’t let us find her to lose her,” Lumpkins prayed.

“She needs to be here, she needs to be with her family.

“What a gift to give to both of them.”

The Lumpkinses are working to expedite the paperwork so they can go get Avery sometime in July before her birthday.

Posh ‘not the best singer’ Victoria Beckham’s microphone used to be turned off when she performed with the Spice Girls. The 42-year-old fashion designer admits she wasn’t the best vocalist in the group, so Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, Mel C and Mel B were left to take the lead while she was inaudible - but she thinks she got the “last laugh”.

She said: “They used to turn it off and just let the others sing. I got the last laugh - and now my mic is well and truly on, finally.” And Victoria - who has sons Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 13, and Cruz, 11, and daughter Harper, four, with husband David Beckham - admits she was always the “sensible” member of the band and never felt comfortable with their wild antics.

Who watched the final?

It’s the show people love to hate - but just how many people actually sat down to watch Jordan Mauger pick Fleur Verhoeven on The Bachelor NZ? Nielsen ratings show 280,000 Kiwis tuned in to watch the final episode, just down on the series premiere, which saw 284,000 viewers tune in. Overall, the series has attracted fewer viewers than last season, with an average audience of 264,000 viewers per episode tuning in, versus 322,000 last year. Social media reaction would suggest fans weren’t as enamoured with this year’s bachelor and struggled to see the “big personality” his friends and family kept referring to.

Hosking in the spotlight Opinionated TVNZ host Mike Hosking is under the state broadcaster’s spotlight after an editorial spiel caused offence.

Seven Sharp last week ran an item about the abuse meted out to New Plymouth mayor Andrew Judd, after he proposed a Maori ward on the local council. After the report, Hosking added his own opinion on the matter. “Sad to say I’d never personally attack him obviously but he’s completely out of touch with middle New Zealand,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with Maori representation on councils cause any Maori that wants to stand for a council is more than welcome to do so and you can sell your message and if you’re good enough you’ll get voted on.”

■ PANAMA PAPERS

NZ ‘not a tax haven’ Mr Key also hit out at those who were insinuating wrongdoing simply because somebody was mentioned in the documents, saying one of the beneficiaries of a trust was Greenpeace International.

“So before we get into incrimination by insinuation I think people should go and have a look at that database, make sure they

understand it carefully and make sure they understand what is happening in New Zealand.”

He said New Zealand was mentioned 11,000 times over 40 years – .2 per cent of the files.

In Parliament, Mr Key also alleged Green MP Mojo Mathers had a foreign trust – a reference to her beneficial interest in the UK Lamledra Trust.

Ms Mathers gave a personal statement, to clarify that was a UK-based family trust.

Mr Key has had to to defend Ken Whitney, who looks after Key’s own trust, because Mr Whitney was in the documents in his capacity as a director of Rothschild Trust NZ, a role he held until August last year.

When I’m 64 . . .

O

n the Beatles famous album, Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Band, the Beatles asked “will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty four?”

Written by Paul McCartney at the age of 16 and released in 1967, the song is sung by a young man to his sweetheart and his plans of growing old together.

But is 64 ‘old’?

Governments around the world conduct wide research on this subject to help budget, plan and provide resources for future generations.

From this research, we can tell the life expectancy of a male born in 1967, the same year that the Beatles album was released, at the time of his birth was expected to live until his 68th birthday.

However, with better health care, better living standards, more nutritious diets and cleaner drinking water, and most infectious diseases almost eradicated through immunisation, the world’s population is living longer, a lot longer.

The same male born in 1967 is

now expected to live an additional 18 years, well into his mid eighties. Women live longer than men; a female born in that same year is expected to celebrate her ninetieth birthday.

The increase in life expectancy is a concern to most Governments globally. With citizens living longer, the cost of providing healthcare as well as the commitment to pay aged pensions applies pressure to future budgets.

Australia have taken action by increasing the qualifying age for the pension to 67 and had even suggested age 70 to be more appropriate.

In the UK, the pension age has increased to 68 and could increase further.

In 1992 New Zealand increased the pension age by five years to the current age of 65.

In the previous election, the opposition recommended gradually increasing the age to 67.

It is difficult to argue with the logic, the $10.2 billion dollar cost of superannuation exceeds the cost of all other benefits.

And with expectations that one in four New Zealanders will be over age 65 by the middle of the century, the tax cost could be a burden for those footing the bill, after all, the money has to come from somewhere.

What is clear is that the population is living longer and there is an expectation of retiring with an aged pension.

But will the pension still be affordable to the taxpayer of the day or will the country’s finances result in a reduced payment?

Perhaps the Beatles should have sung, “Dear Mr Government, will you still pay me when I’m 94?”

So you want a day off Employees suffering from a migraine might want to think up a better excuse when phoning in sick, as just one in five bosses consider the headache serious enough to warrant a day off. Back pain, injury caused by accident and even elective surgery such as a hip replacement fail to arouse sympathy, with only around 37 per cent considering these ailments adequate excuses for missing work.

effectively a tax haven targeted by Mossack Fonseca.

He said of 500,000 entities and organisations Mossack Fonseca had a link to, fewer than 200 were trusts with any link to New Zealand. All of those were disclosed, which Mr Key said meant they were subject to information sharing requests from other countries and Inland Revenue.

Highly-anticipated new Government data shows that three per cent of New Zealand homes were bought by non-resident buyers in the last three months. That amounted to 1089 homes which were sold to people who were not New Zealand citizens or a holder of a resident, student or work visa between January and March. Chinese tax residents were the biggest buyers, snapping up 321 properties. - NZME

Prime Minister John Key said Inland Revenue staff have trawled through the Panama Papers and found fewer than 200 foreign trusts registered in New Zealand had links to Mossack Fonseca and all had been disclosed.

The Inland Revenue ‘crack squad’ was charged with looking through the files released yesterday to ensure no New Zealanders were dodging their tax obligations and that foreign trusts in New Zealand were within their legal obligations.

Warming food done slowly W

1C white wine

hile this year the Indian summer seems reluctant to leave, there’s every indication that winter is just around the corner.

The days are drawing in and arriving home when it’s almost dark makes the lighter meals of summer seem much less appealing.

And that’s when the slow cooker comes into its own.

Get organised the night before, throw everything in the slow cooker before you leave for work, set it at low and come home to the smell of a meal that only requires the addition of freshly cooked vegetables as an accompaniment and rice, pasta or potato on the side.

Slow cookers also mean that some of the cheaper cuts of meat can be used. They’re usually the most flavoursome, but need hours of gentle cooking to bring out their best.

Probably the only key to slow cooking is that you use far less liquid than you would with conventional cooking as none of the moisture in the dish can escape.

■ Heat first measurement of oil in a large frying pan, then brown chicken in batches.

■ Place all ingredients in the slow cooker.

■ Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours until chicken is cooked and tender.

Beef, bacon and mushrooms 1 onion, sliced 2 cloves garlic, finely diced 3 rashers middle or rindless bacon, diced 200g button mushrooms, quartered 700g topside beef or similar, diced 350ml beef stock 1t wholegrain mustard 3T worcestershire sauce 1/2 C barbecue sauce 1T cornflour 1 tin whole peeled diced tomatoes 1C cream Sea salt and cracked pepper Cooked pasta, sour cream and fresh herbs to serve

Pork and prunes 2T olive oil 4 pork loin 1 1/2 C pitted prunes 3 carrots, peeled and sliced 3 stalks celery, sliced 1 leek 2T flour 1 1/2 C stock or white wine 1T wholegrain mustard Salt and pepper

■ ■ ■ ■

■ Heat the oil in a frying pan.

■ Brown the pork loins well on both sides.

■ Remove from pan, place in a slow cooker and scatter dried prunes over the top.

■ Add peeled and sliced medium carrot, sliced celery sticks and

Moroccan lamb

sliced leek to the pan.

Continue to cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in flour, then the stock or wine.

Bring to the boil, stirring until the sauce thickens.

Stir in mustard and season with salt and pepper.

Pour sauce over the meat and prunes.

Put lid on slow cooker and cook for 2 to 3 hours on high or 4 to 6 hours on low.

Serve with mashed potato and vegetables.

Italian chicken 8 chicken thighs 1T olive oil 4 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 C olive oil Salt and freshly ground pepper, to season 1t dried oregano 3/4 C chopped dried apricots 1/2 C red wine vinegar 1 1/2 C pitted prunes, chopped 3/4 C olives, green 4 bay leaves 1/4 C capers 1/2 C brown sugar

■ In a slow cooker or large lidded casserole dish, combine the onion, garlic, bacon, mushrooms and beef.

■ In a separate jug, whisk together the stock, mustard, Worcestershire and barbecue sauces and cornflour.

■ Stir in the tomatoes, then pour over the beef and mix well.

■ Cook 7-8 hours on low heat in the slow cooker, stirring once.

■ Stir in the cream and check for seasoning if necessary.

■ Serve over hot pasta with chopped herbs and a dollop of sour cream if desired.

1T olive or canola oil 400g lean lamb leg steaks, diced 1 large onion, sliced 1 large carrot, diced 1t ground cumin 1t ground coriander 1/2 t ground turmeric 1/2 t chilli powder 1 cinnamon stick 2x400g cans diced tomatoes 3C chicken stock 2x400g cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed 1t paprika 1 lemon, zest and juice 3-4T chopped fresh coriander salt and pepper, to taste ■ Heat oil in a large frying pan.

■ Add lamb and cook over a high heat for 4-5 minutes, turning pieces occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides.

■ Transfer lamb to a non-stick, sprayed slow cooker and set to low.

■ Once lamb has been transferred to slow cooker, add onion and carrot to frying-pan ■ Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until onion has softened and is beginning to brown.

■ Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, chilli and cinnamon stick.

■ Cook, stirring continuously, for another minute.

■ Tip vegetables into slow cooker then add tomatoes and their juice, stock and chickpeas.

■ Stir in paprika, lemon zest and juice. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

■ Add most of the coriander (reserve a little for garnishing).

■ Season with salt and pepper.

■ Cook for 15-30 more minutes.

■ Discard cinnamon stick.

■ Serve with warmed flatbreads and top with reduced-fat sour cream and a little chopped coriander.

nto the East will perform at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on May 28 at an open-hat night.

Renowned New Zealand folk artists Liv McBride and Graeme Woller are bringing their duo to Ashburton as part of a Canterbury-wide tour.

Featuring gently-picked guitar, contrasting with bouncing percussion, their songs have struck a chord with audiences

all over the country. They have supported Tami Neilson, Neil Finn and the Topp Twins, among others.

The talented pair have written and performed together for 12 years and in 2014 were crowned National Country Music Duo of the Year and nominated for the 2014 Taite Music Prize as well as 2014 Best New Zealand Folk Album for Fight from the Inside.

They feature touring top New Zealand talent and operate on a busker-style format, where audience members pay what they think the performance is worth at the end.

Into the East was an “unexpected hit” when it toured with Arts On Tour New Zealand last year, said the Arts On Tour trust in a press release.

“Well-known and loved in

Southland for their countrybased folk-influenced, spirited, up-tempo tunes and soulful ballads, it took a tour outside Invercargill for the rest of the country to wake up to Into the East’s talent.”

In brief

■ NETBALL

Unbeaten record on the line Methven A will look to finish round one of the Mid Canterbury Netball premier competition with an unbeaten record at the EA Networks Centre tomorrow night.

Last week they took on a strong Celtic A side in a repeat of last year’s final, and came away with a narrow but impressive 27-24 win to become the only unbeaten side so far in 2016.

Tomorrow night they take on a United A side which will be smarting from a loss to College A last week, and determined to make the most of the experience they possess across the court.

United A was made to pay for a slow start, and a forgettable finish, against College A, in what was an otherwise close match.

In the end, a four-goal advantage after the first quarter and a late run of goals sealed the deal for College A, as they won 32-25.

Methven A also started slowly last week, and were forced to come from behind at quarter time to record the eventual three goal win, but once they did hit their straps, they looked good.

Methven A coach Greta Currie was happy with the win, but suggested there was still work to be done, and her side was capable of better.

It was a similar story in the Celtic A camp following the match, with coach Ange Leadley saying her team was continuing to build with each game and it was still early days in the competition.

Celtic A will look to continue to build when they take on Hampstead A tomorrow night, in what’s likely to be the match of the round.

Hampstead A won last week, beating Rakaia A 28-16, but they know the going will be tougher tomorrow night against Celtic A. Both teams have been strong so far this season, only losing to Methven A, and the three look to be the early title contenders after four matches of the first round.

Rakaia are yet to win so far this year, and some of their losses have been big, but they will have taken heart from an improved performance against Hampstead A. But they’ll again face a tough ask tomorrow night, in the form of a College A side coming off their first win of the season.

Tomorrow night’s matches at the EA Networks Centre: 6.30pm Ashburton College Finesse Fitness A v Rakaia A, ACL court; 7.30pm Celtic Auric Energy A v Hampstead Hotel Ashburton A, ACL court; 7.30pm United KFC A v Methven Wareings A, Vetent court.

Rugby final after triumphantly proclaiming they had sold out in minutes,” said Lonergan yesterday.

“Our method should ensure the genuine Joseph Parker supporters will not be ripped off.”

There are only 520 general tickets available for the May 21 fight, an IBF world title eliminator at Manukau’s Vodafone Events Centre, so demand will far outstrip supply. 125 corporate tables – top price $12,000 – had already been sold.

The first set of tickets went

on sale yesterday with a reserve price of $1.

Duco Events, Parker’s promoters, said they had a recommended retail price of $299 each.

At 1pm yesterday, the top bid for a six-ticket package was at $1201. Sets of tickets will be released daily ahead of the fight.

The ticket sale idea, thought up by Lonergan and endorsed

by Duco Events chief executive Martin Snedden, the former chief executive of the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, who oversaw more than $271

million of ticket sales.

“There have been record breaking corporate sales to this event,” Snedden said.

“The demand has been so great that we have actually had to abandon our traditional method of having tables at ringside so we can fit more people into the 3000 capacity Vodafone Events Centre.

“As a bonus though, it means anyone buying a ticket through Trade Me will probably be sitting very close to the high-fliers and celebrities who have already secured corporate tickets.” - NZME

■ SPRING IN MELBOURNE

Derby hero awaits trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young have yet to confirm their departure date to Australia, but they will enjoy a Group One welcome shortly after they arrive.

The Cambridge couple will begin the 2016-17 season from their new base at Cranbourne and with a prime Melbourne spring carnival contender in residence.

Their Australian Derby winner Tavago remained across the Tasman to spell after his stunning win at Randwick last month and will be pre-trained before they take over.

“He’s still out spelling and then he will be going to Leon Corstens’ beach facility on the Mornington Peninsula for a month to six weeks work,” Busuttin said.

“All going well we will be going over sometime in mid to late July and he’ll join us when we get there.

“We’ve mapped out a programme back from the Caulfield Cup with the Turnbull Stakes and the Makybe Diva Stakes, but that can all be subject to change.”

The stable is continuing to work through the process of which horses will be crossing the Tasman with them with a number of youngsters in action at yesterday’s Cambridge trials and at today’s Waipa meeting.

Richly-bred Zabeel gelding King Valour (Red Bins Ltd 1580) will make his debut at Te Awamutu off the back of two recent trial outings.

Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young

“He’s going to make a nice staying horse and if he shows something today he’ll be on the

plane,” Busuttin said.

Natural Vitality (Waipa Workingmen’s Club 1150) was unplaced first time out at Rotorua, where the track was controversially downgraded after one race and the absence of any rain from a Dead 6 to a Slow 9.

He had previously starred at the trials so improvement is expected from him on a truer surface while Old Farm Road (VE Veterinary Services 1150) has been a head-scratcher.

“He disappointed last time out – I thought he would be hard to beat and he was run off his feet,” Busuttin said.

“He’s looking for more ground, but on pedigree he’s bred to be a 1000 metre horse.”

Youngster recovering Highly-regarded youngster Midnight Gossip underwent successful surgery following her last appearance. She was a runaway debut winner at Te Aroha before she was unplaced, but less than three and a half lengths from the winner, in last month’s Gr.1 Diamond Stakes at Ellerslie. “She’s all good and we’ll have her back at the beginning of July,” trainer Nigel Tiley said.

Filly off to Ipswich Provocative will head to Australia on Sunday and is likely to step out in a three-year-old event at Ipswich three days later.

Razor happy with team The New Zealand team named to travel to next month’s World Rugby Under 20 Championship in England looks well equipped to do the job, despite falling 25-24 to Australia in Saturday’s international on the Gold Coast. “We’ve got six players from Super Rugby teams, two guys returning from last year’s team, and we have nine players young enough to be eligible to play again next year. It’s a good balance - a little bit of experience, youth and exuberance from the young fellas, and the professionalism from the Super players,” said coach Scott Robertson.

Genia against the clock Time is against halfback Will Genia in his bid to play for the Wallabies in next month’s Test series against England. Genia hasn’t played for his French club Stade Francais since January as he continues to recuperate from surgery on the knee he reinjured during Australia’s World Cup campaign. But the 66-cap veteran is still holding out hope of earning selection in coach Michael Cheika’s Australian squad for the three Tests against touring England beginning on June 11, feeling that he still has much to offer.

Warriors recalled

The match will be played on the Ashburton College school ground today, with kick-off at 12.45pm.

The Ashburton College 1st XV will have home advantage when they take on St Andrew’s College today.

Munster to host Maori All Blacks The Maori All Blacks will play Ireland’s Munster in Limerick as part of a northern tour that kicks off with the already announced Chicago fixture against the USA Eagles.

The Maori All Blacks first play Munster at Thomond Park on Friday November 11.

The team kicks off its 2016 tour by taking on the USA Eagles at Toyota Park Chicago on Friday November 4 in an historic double header ‘Rugby Weekend’ with the All Blacks playing Ireland at Chicago’s famous Soldier Field stadium the following evening.

Maori Rugby Board Chairman Wayne Peters said the additional fixture was an exciting opportunity to take the Maori All Blacks style of rugby to the northern hemisphere.

“The Maori All Blacks is a unique team that represents a very special part of our culture, heritage and tradition in New Zealand.

“Any time the Maori All Blacks play overseas, they capture the imagination of fans with their exciting and entertaining style of rugby, together with their distinctive cultural identity.

“The Maori All Blacks players are great ambassadors for our culture so Irish fans will be in for a memorable rugby experience.

“The Maori All Blacks continue

In brief

■ RUGBY

Life doesn’t get any easier for the Ashburton College 1st XV today as they face their first mid-week fixture of this year’s UC Championship, the Crusaders’ region secondary school’s rugby competition.

Their opponents today are the traditionally strong St Andrew’s College – a team which made the semi-finals of last year’s competition, and beat Rangiora High School convincingly 43-12 in their opening fixture of 2016 on Saturday.

Ashburton College know all too well how strong St Andrew’s are – last year they lost to them 66-5 mid-season – and they’re expecting another torrid battle today.

The message from the coaching staff to the Ashburton boys heading into the clash was clear – step it up from Saturday.

Team manager Dave McArthur summed up their 39-10 loss to Timaru Boys’ High School in Timaru on Saturday by saying it was like they played in their pyjamas.

The loss to Timaru Boys’ in week two, followed a loss to Shirley Boys’ High School in round on by a similar scoreline – 38-14 – and the side know they have to be strong from the opening whistle today.

One thing will be on Ashburton College’s side in round three though – home ground, and home school, advantage.

Ashburton Guardian

Ben Matulino and Bodene Thompson have both been recalled to the Warriors to face the Panthers in Christchurch on Saturday. The pair were two of the six disciplined for breaching team protocol – they admitted to club officials they had mixed energy drinks and prescription medicine on a night out and were dropped from first grade and test selection.

Manu Vatuvei, Sam Lisone and Albert Vete weren’t selected, and nor was Konrad Hurrell who denied drug taking but was also banned as punishment for being part of the late night escapade.

- NZME

Peats gets the message Parramatta hooker Nathan Peats has confirmed he has been approached by the club to leave before Friday’s NRL match in order for the Eels to get under the salary cap. Peats has left the situation in the hands of his manager Sam Ayoub but said he is preparing to play for the Eels against South Sydney this week. “I’ve had a chat with a few people, but it’s out of my control at the moment. My manager’s sorting things out and I’m worried about playing Souths this week,” Peats said yesterday.

- AAP

Gallen defends Blair

The Maori All Blacks bring a special culture and heritage to the rugby paddock. to play an important part in New Zealand Rugby’s high performance strategy and this tour is another valuable opportunity for players to show their skills on the international stage and to press for higher honours.”

Munster Rugby Chief Execu-

tive Garrett Fitzgerald said: “This is an exciting opportunity for the province and we welcome the chance to hopefully replicate previous marvellous occasions that we had when hosting the All Blacks and Australia in Thomond Park.

“In what will be a first encounter for these sides we are really looking forward to the fixture and would like to thank NZR and the IRFU for their efforts in bringing the negotiations to a successful conclusion.”

- NZME

An unlikely ally has emerged for Adam Blair in the wake of Gorden Tallis’ scathing attack on the New Zealand forward – Kangaroos hardman Paul Gallen. Tallis claimed Blair was “one of the dirtiest players” after being charged for his chicken wing tackle on Sam Thaiday. Blair submitted an early guilty plea yesterday and will miss Saturday’s clash with Manly on a one-match ban. But Gallen stood up for Blair, saying the fact his Kiwi rival’s Brisbane team-mates later dismissed Tallis’ spray indicated he “can’t be all bad”. “I think Andrew McCullough summed it up best he would have him in every team he plays in,” Gallen said.

11/5 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You can go forward without support; plenty of people have done it. But your journey will be so much easier with the power of like minds and the intentions of kindred spirits behind you.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The thing you’ve been working on has a purpose, though that purpose may seem secondary in the rush you get when you display the spoils publicly and invoke instant envy.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your life is either defined by your most cherished goals, or it is defined by surreptitious aims that are in conflict with those goals. Which is it? Gain awareness on the subject.

In this regard, knowledge is power.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll easily recognise the truth and see into the lies of the people around you. Your compassion will keep you from making harsh judgments. The human is among the most vulnerable of animals and has complex defences.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Travel will be expensive and hard work, but worthwhile in so many ways.

With the courage of adventure you will overcome anything standing between you and the journey.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your cosmic gift of the day is a kick-start into awareness. Inspiring people are the light bulb overhead in a comic strip. This is the illumination you need to see your options clearly.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The beauty of a vase does not determine how much water it holds. Figure out what you need on a basic level and then find it. On the way, don’t get fooled by appearances.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Though you may be aware of the foibles and failings of your tribe, you’re also loyal to your people. This loyalty comes with the onus of discretion. When in doubt, don’t share.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Assume you belong.

Even if you’re not sure you totally fit in, if you have the least bit of interest it is better to join fully and enthusiastically than to passively sit on the sidelines.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Maybe you’re attracted to the dark and romantic glamour that a certain someone exudes, but if this quality comes with terrible behaviour it won’t be worth the trouble.

Make a decision about this now while it’s still easy.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Beware of the one who seems to be constantly in emotional drama. A penchant for emotional pain isn’t the mark of a deep person; rather it’s a sign of self-absorption.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Declare who you are and what it is you want to do. Today’s statement of intent will serve as a mighty, impactful announcement to yourself, the universe and any inhabitant within earshot.

Stephen Curry in action for the Golden State Warriors, on his way to another NBA Most Valuable Player award.

Curry smashing all records

BY JOSH DUBOW Stephen Curry is adding a second straight NBA MVP award to his record-setting season.

A person with knowledge of the award says Curry will be announced as the winner perhaps as soon as today.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the NBA has not revealed the winner.

With his unmatched long-range shooting and slick ball-handling,

Curry led the Warriors to an NBArecord 73 wins in the regular season, as both he and his team somehow improved after he won the MVP and led Golden State to its first championship in 40 years the previous season.

The honour comes as no surprise as Curry has been the frontrunner since early in the season to repeat. The only drama remaining is whether he will become the first player ever to win the award unanimously.

Parker fight tickets ‘from $1’ P23

Curry led the league in scoring with 30.1 points per game and shattered his own record for 3-pointers by making 402, becoming the first player in league history to top 300 and 400 in a season.

But Curry is more than just a scorer.

He averaged 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game, led the NBA with 2.1 steals per game, while shooting 50.4 per cent from the field, 45.4 per cent from 3-point

range and 90.8 per cent from the foul line.

More than the numbers, Curry put on a show almost every night during Golden State’s record-setting season that started with 24 straight wins and ended with the Warriors breaking the single-season wins record of 72 set by Chicago in 1995-96.

His collection of skills has been unmatched in NBA history and he has done it with a baby-faced look and a 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame

that makes him look more like the kid next door than one of the league’s more imposing stars.

“He’s incredible. He’s something that we’ve never seen before,” said Allen Iverson, the 2001 MVP. “It’s crazy to me. Just me being the biggest Michael Jordan fan, to see somebody like this, I have my idea of me being incredible, you know what I mean.

“But this dude right here? It’s different. It’s a whole different monster.”
