Ashburton could become the home of a big ticket arts festival that would rival similar events staged around the South Island.

The idea of an annual arts festival is being promoted by Ashburton District councillor Rod Beavan and has already gained tacit support from both the

Ashburton Trust Event Centre and the Ashburton Art Gallery.

It’s a simple concept, he said, one that would showcase the best of Mid Canterbury’s talent across a wide range of performing, applied and fine arts as well as featuring invited out of town performers.

“We have so much talent here and so many good facilities now. Other places

do it and there’s absolutely no reason why we couldn’t,” he said.

Initially he suggested the festival could be a weekend-long event, starting with one or a range of bands performing, possibly in the EA Networks Centre.

There’s been an exponential increase in the number of people searching for controversial young adult novel Into The River since it was pulled off the shelves last week, TradeMe says. An interim restriction on the sale and lending of the awardwinning book by Ted Dawe was put in place last week by the president of the Film and Literature Board of Review – the first such ban in New Zealand. The restriction means it is banned from sale until after the review board meets to decide on its classification in October, and in the meantime, it is illegal to even supply the book to a friend.

Attenborough approach ‘a bit dry’ Bear Grylls has said that Sir David Attenborough’s traditional approach to natural history is “a bit dry” for today’s young audience. The former SAS trooper and television adventurer is set to follow in the octogenarian’s footsteps with his new ITV natural history series, Britain’s Biggest Adventures. “If it’s just natural history it can be a bit dry,” he told Radio Times. “When Attenborough was 25 it was totally not dry because it was totally new, but to do something for young people now, it needs that adventure, I think, to inspire them.” While Sir David is regarded as one of Britain’s best broadcasters for his informative, softly-spoken approach, Grylls, 41, will be opting for death-defying stunts, including diving without any breathing equipment to 52 feet in search of mantis shrimp.

Highest breath alcohol in NZ? Police are awaiting test results to confirm what could be New Zealand’s highest-ever breath alcohol reading. Whakatane police pulled over a man in Kawerau at 7.15am on Wednesday after a member of the public reported concerns over his driving. He was the only person in the vehicle at the time. The man’s breath alcohol reading was over 2000 micrograms per litre of breath, Sergeant Ray Wylie said – that’s more than eight times the legal limit of 250mcg. The result was definitely the highest he had ever seen in the region – and quite possible the country, Mr Wylie said. It would take up to four weeks to get his blood tests back, he said.

Singer Josh Groban will portray Miss Piggy’s new boyfriend in an upcoming episode of returning TV series The Muppets. Groban will be the porky diva’s first new man since splitting from long-time boyfriend Kermit the Frog. The singer has appeared onscreen with Miss Piggy before – the odd couple shared a few magic moments in the film Muppets Most Wanted, and Groban teamed up with her again for the music video to accompany his Pure Imagination track earlier this year. The new Muppets series, which launches in the US on September 22, also features cameos from Liam Hemsworth, Reese Witherspoon and Imagine Dragons.

Dempsey ‘love triangle’ Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey is set to become the latest suitor for unlucky-in-love literary heroine Bridget Jones. Dempsey is in talks to join Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth in a new sequel. The American actor, who played Dr Derek Shepherd – aka McDreamy – in the medical drama, is in final negotiations to star in the third instalment of the Bridget Jones’s Diary romantic comedy. Reports suggest Dempsey’s potential new character will fit into the love triangle storyline following Hugh Grant’s departure.

Sharon Maguire, who directed Bridget Jones’s Diary in 2001, will return to steer the project.

■ SAFER ASHBURTON

Logs show depth of violence

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The depth of violence on Ashburton’s streets late at night can be measured in the incident tallies in Safer Ashburton’s community safety ambassador log books.

Over the past year the ambassadors have dealt with 163 incidents, but that figure did not take into account the numerous proactive conversations and interactions with groups and individuals that had prevented

violent incidents from breaking out, said Safer Ashburton manager Kevin Clifford.

In his six-monthly report to the Ashburton District Council, Mr Clifford said that often ambassadors were forced to deal with those incidents without back-up support if police were on other call-outs.

The ambassadors and police worked well together, he said and Safer Ashburton continued to work with police and other patrollers such as Maori war-

dens to improve central town street safety, he said.

Ambassadors worked on Friday and Saturday nights from 10pm until 4am in the central business area.

“What they’re dealing with is not just drunken argy bargy, it’s assaults and vandalism,” Mr Clifford said.

While the council was working towards reducing violence on Ashburton’s streets at night through its local alcohol policy, Mr Clifford is unsure whether

one of the policy’s key changes, a one-way door policy in all bars after 1am, would have much impact on violence levels.

“One-way door policies have a good impact in areas where there are 20 odd bars. Ashburton has just two so we really have to wait and see. We think it will have a positive effect but when bars close they still close at the same time and they still have a lot of people coming out onto the street at the same time.”

The ambassadors’ programme costs $24,000 to run each year and is funded through a Ministry of Justice contract.

Safer Ashburton received $862,309 in funding for the year to June 30, from a variety of sources.

The Ashburton District Council provided $170,000 of this.

It runs 14 community support programmes that have been developed in response to community need.

Cigarette black market fears after break-ins

By DaiSy HuDSoN

daiSy.h@theguardian.co.nz

There are fears a black market for cigarettes may have sprung up in the district after thousands of dollars’ worth of tobacco was stolen from a Mid Canterbury dairy.

Both the Udder Dairy in Mayfield and the Hinds Convenience Store have been targeted by thieves in the past week, with Hinds hit twice.

Hinds Convenience Store

owner Sunil Shah said the town’s residents did not feel safe after the incidents, and he was worried about further break-ins.

His store was first targeted about a week ago, when thieves broke into the store in the early hours of the morning and made off with scratchies and about $8000 worth of cigarettes.

He believes the same offenders returned to the store early

yesterday morning, but they left without gaining access to the shop.

A post offering to sell discounted cigarettes appeared on social media the day after the first break-in, leaving Mr Shah worried that a black market for tobacco may be operating.

“We can’t sleep at night,” he said.

“We’re not feeling safe over here.”

Gaye Monson, who owns

The Udder Dairy in Mayfield with husband Kevin, said her store was also targeted by thieves at about 3am yesterday, and she believes it was the same offenders.

While they also failed to access the store in Mayfield, a door was damaged significantly, she said.

Senior sergeant Scott Banfield said he could not comment as the investigation into the incident was still under way.

Dominoes starting to run out in major centres Countdown shoppers could in for a shock if they’ve beefed up their grocery buy to get more Disney dominoes.

Millions of the plastic Pixar collectables have been handed out in the popular promotion but now the supermarket

chain’s stocks are low, and some stores have run out already.

It was reported yesterday that Countdowns in Meadowbank, Auckland, and Newtown, Wellington, had none left, leaving children and their parents disappointed.

And yesterday afternoon Countdown confirmed the dominoes famine. “Unfortunately such has been the demand, some stores in the North Island have started to run out,” spokesman James Walker said.

“There is better news for our

South Island customers, where there are still dominoes heading into the final weekend.

“We apologise to any disappointed customers.”

He said almost 26 million dominoes had been given away in the campaign.

From P1 This could be followed with other events in the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, the Ashburton Art Gallery and on the street, Mr Beavan said.

“It could even involve arts movies screening, but at this stage, it’s just an idea, just the beginning. There’s no committee, nothing, but the options and opportunities are endless and something like this is long overdue.”

Support has already come from Ashburton Art Gallery curator Shirin Khosraviani.

“This community has cultural richness, yes it could handle a festival,” she said.

The idea was certainly feasible with good planning and the right timing, Ashburton Trust Event Centre manager Roger Farr said.

“We’d have to be a bit careful with Christchurch and its big festivals, but that’s just a matter of scheduling.”

Singing teacher Jo Castelow was also keen to explore the festival idea, saying it would be a great opportunity for local groups and individuals to showcase their talents and for locals to see some of the best on offer in terms of invited exhibitors and performers.

“We have all these amazing facilities here, there’s talent everywhere and we already have groups in the community that would fit the bill,” she said.

Mr Beavan wants to hear from people across the arts and entertainment spectrum in its broadest sense, interested in taking the festival idea to the next stage.

He believes the festival has the potential to become one of the district’s signature events.

■ METHVEN PRIMARY SCHOOL

MOE to pay plan changes bill

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury principal says he’s relieved his school will not have to foot the bill for more than $28,000 in costs after changes were made to plans for its new classrooms.

In May last year, the Ministry of Education approved one new classroom for Methven Primary School.

Work began on designs and planning for the new building, but soon after the ministry decided one room was not suffi-

cient to cater for the school’s booming roll.

The initial plans were scrapped, and three new classrooms were approved instead.

However the work completed before the change of plans did not come for free, and the invoices soon started piling up.

Much to principal Chris Murphy’s relief, the ministry has decided it will cover the costs.

“It would be a huge expense for the school to bear,” he said.

“That money is better spent

elsewhere.” The final bill for the work would be in excess of $28,000 as some invoices were yet to arrive, he said.

Ministry acting head of the education infrastructure service Jerome Sheppard said the school will receive funding for three brand new modular classrooms, which will provide “top quality learning environments” for students.

“We will be responsible for installing the classrooms on site, which takes pressure off the principal for overseeing

the work, and we will subcontract the site specific building work locally where possible,” he said.

The school had raised the issue of the cost of the design work with the ministry, he said.

“We’re happy to pick up the bill for that work, because of the change in plans.”

Funding for roll growth classrooms varies depending on factors such as the type of school, site specific costs and isolation, he said.

■ LONGBEACH SCHOOL PRODUCTION

Audience taken on a nautical adventure

In brief Memorial tree planting A simple service with a big message will be held this morning when a tree is planted in the Ashburton Domain in memory of two women killed in Ashburton’s Work and Income office shootings.

The tree planting ceremony will be hosted by the Ashburton District Council in memory of Peggy Noble and Susan Cleveland. It will be planted in the grass area inside the Ashburton Domain gates on the corner of Wills and West streets.

The tree has been donated by the Tedbri Charity Fund and the planting will take place at 12.15pm.

EA Networks Centre Business is booming at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre with several major events to be held over the next few weeks.

Last week the stadium played host to the Zone 4 A secondary schools’ basketball premiership, an event that attracted 24 teams and hundreds of supporters. On September 18 and 19 more than 80 masters swimmers will compete in the pool for titles in the South Island Masters short course championships. Three weeks later the complex’s courts will be host to the New Zealand secondary schools’ netball championship which will see the 16 top secondary school teams on court.

Train hits car

Pupils at Longbeach School took to the stage last night for a one-off school production.

The cast took their audience on a nautical adventure during the show, which was called Pirates vs Mermaids.

The whole school was involved in the production, which ran for one night only at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

Rehearsing hard before the big night were Kelly Davidson, 10, and Georgia Winchester, 11.

A passenger train has collided with a car on the Kapiti Coast, north of Wellington last night. Both the driver of the car and a passenger were injured. The crash happened about 6.20pm on Te Waka Road, near Te Horo. “It looks like the car appears to have been clipped,” a police spokesman said. “Both occupants were treated at the scene by ambulance staff.

“None of the 100-plus passengers on the Palmerston North-bound train were injured.”

Boiling beer left two men with dangerous burns in Warkworth yesterday. The men were both in a serious condition when they were flown to Middlemore Hospital.

Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust spokeswoman Kerrie Spicer said two helicopters were called to Warkworth to pick up the two men just after noon. The pair had been flown to Middlemore Hospital immediately in one helicopter each, Ms Spicer said. Middlemore Hospital spokeswoman Lauren Young said the men had since been admitted to the national burn centre and were now in a stable condition.

Car ploughs into Huntly home

By BelinDa Feek A Huntly family who had a car plough into the bottom of their house yesterday morning are back inside after the damage wasn’t as bad as initially thought.

And the female driver of the vehicle has contacted the family to apologise.

Violet Rehu was up late reading in her Paki Street home and had just walked back into the lounge when she saw a vehicle’s lights shining through and heard screeching about 12.50am.

“I thought ‘they’re moving really quick, I hope they make the corner’ and then heard a whole bunch of screaming.”

Ms Rehu said she heard someone say “watch out, oh f***,” and then felt it crash into the house.

“It was like a big boom, it felt

like an earthquake.” Police are yet to confirm details of how the crash occurred, but it appeared from skid marks and damage at the scene, that the car failed to negotiate a sweeping right-hand bend on Baker Street before getting up on the grass, crashing through a give way sign at the intersection of Paki Street and careering straight into the bottom of Ms Rehu’s rented house.

When contacted yesterday afternoon, Ms Rehu said the building inspector’s assessment of the house found that the damage wasn’t as bad as first thought.

“We’re back in the house they just put up some support beams and concrete. The damage under the house wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be so that’s really good, we’re back in the house, we’re warm, we’re safe.”

She had also been contacted by the female driver – who has since been charged with driving with an excess breath alcohol level and dangerous driving – who apologised for her actions.

“I have had contact with the woman ... and she has asked me for forgiveness, but I’ve forgiven her because if you don’t then you’re just going to end up being really negative ... she feels really, really bad. I just said her to ‘don’t worry as long as we’re safe, no one has to attend a tangi or visit us in the hospital, we’re fine’. I think she’s definitely learnt her lesson.”

Police had also contacted her and confirmed that there was a third person in the car, she said.

She has her doubts that the woman who had accepted blame was actually responsible.

“When I was hanging out the window I could hear them say ‘don’t say anything, it’s just us two’ and [neighbour] heard them saying exactly same thing.

“She confessed to it last night but I think she was a bit out of it.”

The 25-year-old woman – who Ms Rehu understood to a mother – told her she didn’t remember the incident or who was in the car with her.

“Everything’s like a blur to her.”

As for her children, aged 4, 11 and 15, Ms Rehu said they were all asleep in their bedrooms at the back of the house and found the whole experience exciting.

Only two of the homes piles were broken in the crash, so the house was not in danger of collapsing.

Honour for Britten Legendary New Zealand engineer John Britten, who created one of history’s greatest motorbikes, is being honoured 20 years after his death. The University of Canterbury yesterday revealed that it will name a College of Engineering building in honour of the Christchurch innovator and engineer.

■ FONTERRA FORECAST

Milk volume forecast down 2-3%

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Fonterra’s milk volume forecast is down at least 2-3 per cent this season as cash-strapped farmers return to more traditional practices to offset costs.

However, volumes could drop further if the anticipated El Nino weather pattern eventuates.

The co-operative has estimated this season’s milk production will sit around 1589 million

kilograms of milksolids, in line with its earlier forecast. However some agribusiness commentators are predicting the production lag could be more than 5 per cent as farmers endeavour to cut costs in the face of a poor farmgate payout.

Group director co-operative affairs Miles Hurrell said there was evidence farmers were pulling back on production, which could lead to a further downward revision of forecast vol-

umes as the season progresses.

“Farmers are responding to the lower forecast farmgate milk price by returning to more traditional farming practices.”

“Market data from several independent sources show that cows are being culled at higher rates than last season while many of our farmers are also providing early advice that they are expecting significant year on year volume reductions,” Mr Hurrell said.

“In addition, currently our daily milk collection average is lower than for the same period last year.

“However, it is still early in the season, and any forecast at this point is very dependent on weather conditions, which have so far been poor for production.”

Crowe Horwath agribusiness specialist Haylee Preston said most farmers were looking at reducing feed costs by culling

out the bottom 5 to 10 per cent of their herd. “Older cows, late calvers and poor producers are being culled, reducing the number of cows on the milking platform. This allows more intense farming systems to cut back on supplemental feed costs,” Ms Preston said.

Fonterra is required under the Dairy Industry Restructuring Act to update its current season forecast milk volumes by early September.

■ KEEP NEW ZEALAND BEAUTIFUL WEEK

Time to get out there and spring clean district

She may be 90, but there’s no holding back this gym bunny

By caitliN Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

Get busy beautifying the district, that’s the message from Wastebusters’ educator Katie Esler.

Her missive is related to Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week which kicks off next week and aims to increase community participation and address the issues of sustainability, environment and social inclusion.

Locally, Wastebusters will man an information station and have various competitions, puzzles and prizes.

“There will be information on how to keep Ashburton beautiful with reducing, reusing and recycling,” Ms Esler said.

Wastebusters has planned two main challenges during the week, one of which involves asking people to submit photos of children doing “something environmental”.

“Showing they’re keeping Ashburton beautiful by putting recycling in a bin or using a reusable bag,” Ms Esler suggested.

Photos can be emailed, posted on the Wastebusters webpage or dropped in to Wastebusters.

The second challenge encourages people to get out and pick

up rubbish. “People can come in and get a pack during the week, it’s got health and safety instructions in there along with first aid information and gloves.”

Once rubbish has been collected it can be dropped off at Wastebusters and Ms Esler will

do a free waste audit.

Knowing what to recycle and reuse is important, Ms Esler said. She only uses one black rubbish bag every four months.

Keeping New Zealand beautiful is something people should think about every day, she said.

“It’s just about creating awareness and our goal is to teach people to strive for zero waste.”

Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week runs from September 14 to 20 and information is available from Wastebusters.

Graham Brazier farewelled by friends, family By alexaNdra MasoN Graham Brazier, the front man of Hello Sailor, has been remembered by those who knew him best, at his funeral in Auckland.

Mr Brazier died last week, aged just 63.

He had been at a rehabilitation centre, having suffered a heart attack while holidaying in the Bay of Islands.

It was a full house yesterday for his farewell at St Matthews in the City, the church overflowing with family, friends and members of New Zealand’s mu-

sical fraternity.

Sheltering under a flotilla of umbrellas, hundreds ventured out on a wet and wild day to wish this ‘Sailor’, as one-time father-in-law Les Mills said – “fair winds and smooth seas”.

Among the familiar faces grieving for another musical comrade lost were Dave Dobbyn, Peter Urlich and Jordan Luck.

Band mate Harry Lyon struggled through tears as he searched for words to describe the huge hole left by the gregarious Mr Brazier, just two years after the death of fellow ‘Sailor’

Dave McArtney.

Peter Urlich said they had all lost two huge pillars, with the passing of the two men.

But among the tears and moments of silence as those who knew Brazier beyond the stage persona struggled for words, there was also, of course, music.

In an ode to Hello Sailor’s inseparable founders, Mr Lyon sang the McArtney-penned Gutter Black at the end of yesterday’s service.

Earlier, Hammond Gamble performed hit Billy Bold; a song Brazier had written for his Liverpudlian father – who became

the founder of the New Zealand Communist Party.

Mr Brazier’s 99-year-old mother Christina, who fostered her son’s life-long obsession with literature and poetry, was at his funeral.

That passion for not just music, but the written word in any form, was a common thread in people’s memories of Mr Brazier.

He will receive a full musical farewell next Friday, with Auckland’s Powerstation playing host to Hello Sailor’s 40th Anniversary Concert: Salute To Mr B. - NZME

Jean Webber had a workout at the gym on Monday, and on Wednesday she celebrated her 90th birthday.

Next week she will be back in the pool.

Asked how she felt about the milestone, she said she felt good: “I don’t feel any difference.”

That might be because for the past 20 years Mrs Webber has been going to the gym every Monday for the over-50s classes – though she has nearly double the qualifications – doing exercises in aerobics, steps, balance and muscle strengthening.

“I can do everything, I keep up with the young ones,” she laughs.

Mondays are a busy time for the Greymouth nonagenarian; after going to the gym for an hour in the morning, she looks forward to two hours of Scottish country dancing in the evening, as she has done for the past 36 years.

“I’m not going to stop just because I’m 90.”

On top of this, she also plans to return to swimming next week.

“I want to keep fit and got to have something to do.”

Mrs Webber, originally of Australia, has lived on the West Coast for 66 years.

She arrived for a holiday in 1948, met her future husband and returned a year later to live.

■ EA NETWORKS

Bid for fibre funding to have rural spin-offs Rural villages around the Ashburton District could be in for a double win next year if a deal between EA Networks and the government comes off.

The lines company is making a pitch for its share of a pool of money that will expand the reach of ultra-fast broadband around the Ashburton District.

If the Crown Fibre deal came off, the company would take advantage of that project to complete its undergrounding project of power lines in those villages, EA Networks chief executive Gordon Guthrie said.

With the undergrounding project already on its radar, Mr Guthrie said it made sense to be part of a one-dig project for the two services.

In Methven, however, undergrounding of power lines is largely completed and the UFB project would be a standalone undertaking.

Parts of Rakaia, Hinds and Mt Somers have also already had power lines installed underground.

EA Networks proposal for a share of the UFB stage two funding has to be lodged by the end of next month. Work is planned for next year.

■ WAIKATO

Degree completed debt free

BY BELINDA FEEK A University of Waikato student has managed four years of study without owing any money.

But it’s not over yet.

Darelle Howard, 22, has made the most of the university’s scholarships, receiving more than $27,000 from five different schemes over the past four years.

“I apply for every scholarship I’m eligible for, I work part-time and I ask lots of questions which has opened up lots of funding opportunities,” Miss Howard says.

The former Mount Maunganui College student – who is doing a Bachelor of Social Sciences degree [Hons] has won five scholarships totalling more than $27,000. The latest was a $6000 Freemason’s University Scholarship.

She also received a $5000 Vice-Chancellor’s Academic Excellence School Leaver Scholarship for achieving NCEA endorsed with excel-

got to ask,” she says.

Now, she’s set to do her Masters – in political economy – next year so she’s found three different scholarships that she will apply for to get through her final year of study.

The plan then is to head to the United Kingdom and study at either Cambridge, Oxford or the London School of Economics.

That again requires even more money and a scholarship, otherwise she says she’ll never be able to afford to go over there.

With the new Applicant Day event coming up on Saturday September 19, Miss Howard thinks it’s the perfect opportunity for people to visit the campus and talk one-on-one to University staff about their study and finance options.

“I had no idea what I wanted to study when I was still at school but talking to one of the Waikato’s Future Student Advisers helped me find the subjects that were right for me,” she says.

lence. “Some scholarships have a long application process but it’s worth the effort if you’re successful – it’s not a bad hourly rate really,” she says.

On top of the scholarships, Miss Howard receives a student allowance from StudyLink and works part-time during the semester and fulltime over the breaks at jobs

she’s found through Student Job Search.

Although it’s been stressful at times to juggle work and study, not having a student loan is something Miss Howard’s really proud of.

“A bit of hard work can go a long way and there are so many support services at University to help – you’ve just

In brief Speedster nabbed Police are unimpressed with the actions of a man caught travelling at 147km/h along the Waikato Expressway yesterday. Conditions were poor with heavy rain falling for several hours. A Waikato police spokesman said a man was clocked at 147km/h in his RX-7 vehicle in wet conditions. He was already a suspended driver, but now has a summons to appear in the Hamilton District Court for driving while suspended. His vehicle was impounded for 28 days and he was issued a $630 fine.

Key rules out Syria Prime Minister John Key says New Zealand will not take part if other countries send troops into Syria and it would take a Security Council resolution for New Zealand to consider any involvement. Mr Key met with Australia’s Prime Minister Tony Abbott yesterday and discussed the response to Syria, including refugee intakes and Australia’s decision to undertake air strikes on Islamic State targets within a week. Mr Key said Australia could make its own calls on the issue, but he did not believe there was a mandate to get involved in Syria. “We don’t think we have a mandate in Syria, but we can understand Australia doing what they’re doing.”

■ AUCKLAND REAL ESTATE

House prices up 21% in August year

BY SUZE METHERELL The number of home sales fell 4.4 per cent in August from July, while soaring on an annual basis, as the national median price steadied on a monthly reading, according to the latest figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand. Auckland’s median price increased 0.7 per cent in August to $740,000, and has surged 21 per cent in the year.

Some 7766 homes sold in August, fewer than a month earlier but some 43 per cent more than in the same month last year, REINZ said. That includes the highest number of sales for Auckland and Waikato/Bay of Plenty since August 2003.

Yesterday’s REINZ figures show the national median price was steady last month at $465,000 compared to July, while showing an annual gain of 11 per cent.

Excluding the impact of Auckland, the national median

Auckland house median prices have risen 21 per cent for the August year.

Demand for housing in Auckland is now overflowing into other regions, as investors wait for LVR restrictions to come into effect from November 1, REINZ chief executive Colleen Milne said.

Market anticipated OCR cut T he key event over the past week was the Official Cash Rate (OCR) decision from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ).

The market was unanimously expecting the 0.25 per cent cut delivered by the RBNZ, which takes the OCR to 2.75 per cent, so the focus was centred on the updated economic forecasts and the guidance as to what the RBNZ might do from here.

In this regard, the RBNZ noted that while global economic growth remains moderate, the outlook has been revised down due to weaker activity in developing economies. China and East Asia were singled out as areas of concern, while the RBNZ was more upbeat on the US. Consequently, the RBNZ cut its economic growth forecast for New Zealand to 2.1 per cent for the year to March 2016 (down from a forecast of 3.2 per cent in June) and 2.5 per cent for the year to March 2017 (down from 3.1 per cent).

The near-term outlook for inflation was marginally lower, with the inflation rate for the year to March 2016 now expected to be 1.5 per cent (down from 1.6 per cent in June) and unchanged in the following 12 months at 2.1 per cent. The RBNZ forecasts for the NZ dollar were quite a bit lower than what was expected in June. The trade weighting index (TWI) is now expected to fall to 64.9 by the end of 2016, compared with a forecast of 71.8 in June.

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

The RBNZ concluded by suggesting further easing in the OCR “seems likely”, at some point. The market has generally interpreted this as meaning we are in for one further 0.25 per cent cut. This would take the OCR back to 2.50 per cent, where it was at the beginning of 2014, and would mean the RBNZ has reversed all four of last year’s interest rate increases.

For borrowers, this is welcome news. We have already seen two of the major banks reduce their one-year mortgage lending rate to 4.35 per cent, the lowest New Zealand has seen since the 1960s. However, savers will not be so enthusiastic. The six-month term deposit rate is approximately 3.5 per cent, the lowest in almost 50 years.

The key event over the coming week will be the Federal Reserve meeting in the US. The US central bank has held its key interest rate (the equivalent of our OCR) effectively at zero for the past nine years. As the US economy recovers, the Fed is giving consideration to increasing interest rates from these very low levels.

The market currently sees a 30 per cent probability of a rate hike this week, with this likelihood rising to a little over 50 per cent for the December meeting.

European, Australian and UK shares are all in correction territory, while the S&P500 in the US is down 8.9 per cent from its 2015 peak. The NZX50 has held up well with just a 4.8 per cent fall. Many would suggest that a correction is long overdue (and is probably healthy).

The key concern recently has been the outlook for China.

While almost everybody agrees that China is facing slowing economic growth, it is the quantum of this slowdown that is debatable. A moderate slowdown is manageable, although a sharper decline in activity would be more concerning.

It’s impossible to predict where markets will go from here. We are in a seasonally weak period of the year and since 1950, September has traditionally been the weakest month of the year for the S&P500.

With uncertainty surrounding China likely to remain for some time, volatility could continue into the October/November period.

City swamped By yoshikazu Tsuno A Japanese city has been flooded after a raging river burst its banks, destroying homes and cars as desperate residents waited for help.

Dramatic television footage yesterday showed a wall of muddy water gushing from the swollen Kinugawa river in Joso city, north of Tokyo, which is home to around 65,000 people.

Several people are reportedly missing across the country as waist-high floods in some areas left rescuers scrambling to pluck residents to safety as a wide area was deluged in the wake of Typhoon Etau.

The huge rains also exacerbated a contaminated water problem at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant as it overwhelmed the site’s drainage pumps, sending radiation-tainted water into the ocean.

“This is a scale of downpour that we have not experienced before,” forecaster Takuya Deshimaru told an emergency press conference.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the government was on high alert.

“The government will stand united and do its best to deal with the disaster ... by putting its highest priority on people’s lives,” he told reporters.

In Joso, houses and vehicles were washed away along with some power lines, as military personnel headed to the area to help with the rescue mission.

Desperate residents waved towels at rescuers as they stood on second-floor balconies waiting for help.

“Please continue to ask for help.

“Please do not give up hope,” an NHK broadcaster said in an apparent message to helpless residents of the beleageured city.

Global powers in disarray over Syria A flood of desperate refugees and images of a toddler lying dead on a beach have thrown Syria’s chaos into stark relief, but global powers are still far from seeing eye-to-eye on a solution to the conflict.

Despite what is seen as a renewed sense of urgency, major players in the West, Gulf, Russia and Iran are now pursuing vastly different military and

diplomatic tactics on the Syrian crisis.

As political pressure mounts over the refugee exodus and the jihadist threat posed by the Islamic State group, both France and Australia are planning to extend a bombing campaign against the jihadists to Syria.

And after killing two British jihadists in a drone attack in Syria, Britain is also considering air strikes there.

Fairs help whole community Stu Oldham

EDITOR

A

school fair this weekend is the latest in a series of fundraising events across Mid Canterbury that demonstrate how much our communities contribute to local education.

Tomorrow, Allenton School will hold its biennial school fair.

It is one of the biggest of its kind in the district, to the point where it is an important event in the local events calendar.

As with fairs at other schools, it is enthusiastically supported by families and by a wider community that appreciates the value of a collegial, celebratory and fun day out.

Such school fairs are made memorable by much more than the food, produce, art, gifts and activities created by children or donated by the families that support them.

They are made memorable by the sense of community they reinforce. Everything on offer is made, sourced, managed and provided by a proud school community.

Many times, these contributions make up the difference between what a school is funded to do and the work it actually does. Many times, they bridge the gap between base, government funding and actual need.

So far this year, we have heard how schools boost special education funding from other budgets, how some fund extra staff and teacher aides, and how budgets are eroded dealing with Novopay.

Recently, we heard how roll growth is putting pressure on school buildings and how, perversely, educators are relieved when decile ratings drop because it means more government funding.

By-and-large, our schools are bare-bones operations for which there is no extra cash. Where they have financial reserves, they have been carefully built and closely managed to prepare schools for whatever challenges they might face in the future.

This is the context in which principals, their boards and their parents’ associations seem to be spending more time than ever securing that future. These days, school fairs are more than a fun day out.

Five days to go!

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

T

he excitement is really kicking in now.

This time next week, my gorgeous partner and I will be in San Francisco.

I can’t wait to get back to the States and Manda is bursting at the seams to get over there for the first time.

Although I know the crazy cat lady will go through some sort of “separation anxiety” being apart from her feline friends, even though we have a housesitter to look after them and, like all cats, they don’t really like humans anyway!

I just wish I could afford to take my kids as well, although the trip may be a bit hectic for them, especially Josh who can’t seem to function without 14 hours’ sleep at the moment.

We have three days in San Fran and on the agenda there are a baseball game – Giants versus Diamondbacks, a trip to Alcatraz and, of course, biking across the Golden Gate Bridge.

From there we fly to my favourite city in the world Memphis.

We arrive on Saturday evening, just in time to head into town and down Beale Street.

It’s a pedestrian-only street that

is jam-packed with entertainment, including cartwheeling street performers, pubs and beer gardens.

Beale Street is also jam-packed with live bands, most of them with a heavy blues influence.

Sunday morning we plan to go to church, those that know me will now be picking the paper up off the floor. It’s not just any church, it’s Al Green’s church.

Not only do you have a Grammy Award winner turned pastor up front, but add to that a full gospel choir and full band and you’ve got a spine-chilling experience you’re never likely to

forget. I’ve said it before, if Sunday mornings at St Stephen’s were like that, I’d be there most weeks.

We will of course check in with The King at Graceland, visit the site of his first recording at the famous Sun Studio and feel the eeriness at the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King was shot.

As if Memphis wasn’t cool enough on its own, a stroke of good timing will also see us at the Bryan Adams’ 30th Anniversary of Reckless concert there.

across the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains. He has about 10 acres in the heart of Virginia and has day trips aplenty planned for us, including a visit to see the resting place of General Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

I love the vibe in Washington DC and am really looking forward to seeing more of it this trip.

We have two very full days of sightseeing there before flying into New York.

New York is A-may-zing! We will be wringing out every last minute of our three-day pass in New York before a day trip to Philadelphia to have a run up the “Rocky” steps, ring the Liberty Bell and meet an Amish family.

I haven’t been to Las Vegas before and am really looking forward to it. I can’t wait to see the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, plus all the other weird and wacky sights Vegas promises.

We have a couple of days in LA before heading back to New Zealand, including a day at Disneyland, so Manda can see just how many rollercoasters it will take for me to throw up.

I think it will be the fastest three weeks in history following the slowest five days ever.

Is Rigby being cheeky?

We’re not quite sure if nine-month-old chocolate labrador Rigby is poking tongues at his owner or if he’s about to lick someone, but we do know he is seriously cute!

In brief

Young and old take on classy field

Derby beckons Murray Baker has Gr.1 Victoria Derby aspirations for impressive Te Rapa winner Collaborate, but says the Gr.1 Spring Champion Stakes in Sydney next month will probably come up a bit soon. The Cambridge trainer watched the High Chaparral colt’s maiden win over 1400 metres under Opie Bosson from Melbourne and he was delighted with the performance. “He will be nominated for the Victoria Derby and we’ll probably get him over here because there are more options for him in Australia,” Baker said.

Jockey Ashley McKay and trainer Jan Hay are hoping the weather holds out as gallops action returns to the Ashburton Raceway for the Ashburton Racing Club’s spring meeting tomorrow.

In race seven, McKay will ride old campaigner Dr Dee Bee, and Hay has confidence in the 24-year-old rider.

“Hopefully we’re going to go very well, but the rain doesn’t really suit,” said Hay. “He (Dr Dee Bee) had his first run the other day, he ran a good race.”

Hay also has Jack’s Run, ridden by Kylie Williams in the same race, who will be returning after a five week layoff.

“He’s (Jack’s Run) a very honest horse too, but he hasn’t raced in five weeks. He had a wee glitch the last day of the national meeting, he had a stone bruise,” she said.

McKay, who has ridden Dr Dee Bee just once before at Riccarton, said she is looking forward to the action.

“I’m really looking forward to riding Dr Dee Bee, he went really well fresh up, he was really nice to ride, he knows what he’s doing,” said McKay. “I’m looking forward to it, he tries hard so that’s the main thing.”

Allez Eagle looks sharp Allez Eagle warmed up for his imminent return to racing when he comfortably accounted for his stablemate Shelford in an open 950 metre trial at Cambridge yesterday.

“Unfortunately, Allez Eagle’s Brisbane trip went pear-shaped with a bad foot abscess and we had to come home early,” trainer Tony Pike said. “Depending on track conditions, he could kick off at Hastings in the open 1200 on Saturday week or we’ll wait for Ellerslie.” - NZME

Stablemates work well

Right - Ashley McKay will ride Jan Hay’s Dr Dee Bee for just the second time tomorrow.

Top prospects for Ashburton’s Spring Meeting

By GreG Jones Saturday gallops action returns this week at the Ashburton Raceway as the Racing Club conducts its spring meeting tomorrow.

For the first time in many years the club has secured two weekend dates and this is the first, with the Cup meeting to follow in October.

Punters can enjoy the oncourse facilities and engage with the other racing action in NZ and also the high class events in Australia which begin mid-afternoon.

The eight race programme begins at 12.35 and the locally trained Kodema appeals as the hardest to beat in the first.

In career best form and a recent winner on the track, Kodema also has top form at the distance so expect a very forward showing. Absolution could complete the quinella.

The second race should provide High Commissioner with a chance to break maiden status after an encouraging second here last start. Staying has always seemed its forte and in a field devoid of depth few better chances will be presented.

Tycoon Class looks the obvious danger.

In contrast the R75 sprint has an abundance of form and potentially good horses, although some are more seasoned than others.

The best chance might be Rivertaine Coup who has form on the board and has beaten stronger lineups before. Brah Spring looked classy last campaign and Agnes Brown has always indicated the ability to reach open class.

The maiden for fillies and mares looks dominated by two horses on exposed form.

This event carries a bonus stake and is therefore targeted by the progressive types. Backhand produced a terrific finish at Riccarton recently and a replica run will undoubtedly be hard to repel.

Risque has been brought down south with the expectation of winning form leading onto better things. The money was misplaced last time but expect better here even from the outside stall.

The Te Akau horse Madame Jamai might be too fast for them fresh up in race 5, and from a reasonable draw and apprentice allowance expect a good sight if the track is not too wet.

Peggy’s Choice should be able to capitalise on the ace draw for

the McKay barn at good odds while Flossy The Cat didn’t have the best luck last time and should run well.

The maiden 1400m event looks more open with some of the favoured candidates drawing wide.

Born A Royal holds most appeal with solid 2yo form and a pleasing final furlong at Timaru auguring well for this increased distance event. Hirakimata has long had a reputation and is likely to be stronger this time in to confirm the latent potential.

Emergency Call and St Lamour will also have admirers.

The Premier Equine Vets

open event has attracted a field of seven and the smart mare Royal Madam will attract the usual high level of support.

While she should win on paper some of her runs have been a little disappointing since her 3yo days.

Dr Dee Bee loves the home track and will give supporters some excitement, while if it rains stablemate Jack’s Run will come into strong consideration.

The last of the day at 4.27pm contains a number of promising types at the top of the page.

Pepper Mill won well at Oamaru and followed it with an even better effort in a strong field at Riccarton. A repeat would nearly win it.

Tommyra has long looked a good one in the making and it would be a surprise not to see the Champion/Murphy colours in the frame.

Court Order won stylishly on debut here and can dictate from the front. Tukawa won its maiden easily and looks capable of further success in the not too distant future, so include in the multis.

Best Bet: Race 1 Kodema Next Best: Race 6 Born A Royal Longshot: Race 3 Agnus Brown Best Quinella: Race 8 Pepper Mill and Tommyra

A break in the weather has allowed Roger James to inject some momentum into the spring preparations of Tavy and Avisto. The Cambridge trainer took advantage of the improved track conditions at Te Rapa on Wednesday to send the stakes winning pair over 1000 metres in an exhibition gallop. Tavy shaded her stablemate at the post.

They are set to resume at Taupo on September 18 with the Gr.3 Rich Hill Stud Breeders’ Stakes at Hawera on October 10 their first major target.

- NZME

Shelford a starter Group performer Shelford is a confirmed starter in the open sprint on the second day of the Hawke’s Bay carnival. “He was very keen today and he had a good blow afterwards so he’ll improve a ton with the run,” trainer Tony Pike said yesterday.

- NZME

Cup contender back Duquesa’s co-trainer Steven Ramsay isn’t expecting any firstup fireworks from the black type performer at Ruakaka tomorrow.

“She’s a staying mare and she likes the good tracks, but 1400 metres will be too short for her,” he said.

“She holds a nomination for the New Zealand Cup.” - NZME

Platinum ready to roll Team Hawkes are expecting another bold performance from Entirely Platinum in the Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington tomorrow. The New Zealand-bred was narrowly beaten by Boban in the Memsie Stakes last time out and he has trained on well since.

“Everything is really good with him,” Wayne Hawkes said. “He’s a push button horse and he has pulled up well after the Memsie.

We have just ticked him over as he’s close to being hard fit and the older horses don’t need as much work.”

■ RUGBY

Unbeaten record on the line

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury are Greymouth-bound to take on West Coast at Rugby Park in week four of the Heartland Championships tomorrow.

The Hammers are the only team in the division with a 100 per cent record, with wins over South Canterbury (34-17), Wanganui (28-30) and King Country (25-17), and they currently sit at the top of the points table.

West Coast’s campaign has not been the polar opposite, but coach Sean Cuttance will still be hoping for a vast improvement.

Coast kicked off their season with a frustrating 17-16 loss to North Otago in Oamaru.

A dismal start from Cuttance’s side left them playing catch-up early on as the Old Golds held on for a razor-thin win.

In week two, West Coast toppled Buller 21-7 before another poor start against South Canterbury in Timaru led to a 4024 loss last weekend.

Following an impressive start to the season, Mid Canterbury coach Grant Keenan may face a selection headache ahead of tomorrow’s tie with a number of players missing from Tuesday’s training through injury, sickness and work commitments.

First five-eighth Murray Williams remains a serious doubt for the Hammers after

sustaining a hamstring strain against Wanganui in week two, while prop Adam Williamson

and midfielder Fa’aitu Tuamoheloa are suffering from sickness.

Keenan said he expects a physical clash tomorrow but will not tailor his side’s approach any differently from the last three outings.

“We had a number of guys away from training on Tuesday with sickness and work commitments,” he said.

“I haven’t seen the South Canterbury game yet.

“They’re a really big forward pack who prefer playing that driving game, but I don’t think we’ll approach it any differently.

“We’re just looking to improve and working on our game.”

Cuttance said West Coast must be more alert from the outset after falling behind early on against North Otago and South Canterbury, but will be without stalwart flanker Alan Monk and Tasman import midfielder Mike Wells through injury.

“They know how to win games.

“They’ll bring it, they’re coached very well and we know the calibre of players they have,” he said.

“We need to improve on how we start.

“Against North Otago and against South Canterbury, we were two tries behind in the first 10 or 15 minutes.”

Tomorrow’s Heartland Championship fixture: West Coast v Mid Canterbury, Rugby Park, Greymouth, 2.30pm.

Quarter-final clash holds no fear for ABs

By Kris shannon One possibility will loom large over pool play at the World Cup and engender an unwanted case of deja vu among Kiwi fans.

But for the All Blacks, a potential quarter-final in Cardiff against France holds no fear.

Millennium Stadium, of course, was the venue for one of the team’s darkest days on the brightest stage in rugby, the scene of a stunning upset in the last eight of the 2007 tournament.

The defeat saw the highly-rated All Blacks, having cruised through the group stages, crash out of contention against an unfancied France, fresh off an underwhelming second-place finish in their pool.

It saw the All Blacks’ apparent World Cup ‘curse’ continue for another four years and,

now, will see some supporters anxious and unnerved as the quarter-finals creep near.

But even if Steve Hansen’s side are handed a rematch - an eventuality that will require Ireland to consign France to second in pool D - the All Blacks will barely blink twice.

They have learned the lessons of the failed 2007 campaign, Hansen vowed, and are ready to exorcise any eightyear-old demons.

“The first thing is we can’t fear that,” Hansen replied when quizzed about a French quarter-final. “There’s going to be a lot of anxiety from the public about that, but it will be what it will be.

“If we’re good enough to get in the quarter-final, and whoever we play, we have to deal with that.”

While the talk is allied with the All Blacks’ oft-stated fourplus-one plan when preparing

Coach Steve Hansen

for the tournament’s opening stages, singling out a potential opponent is perhaps a slight departure from script.

That, though, is a reflection of the importance of the 2007 defeat, both in laying the groundwork for a breakthrough victory four years later and devising the blueprint for the imminent attempted defence.

The favourites tag and top spot in the world rankings is nothing new for the All Blacks heading into a World Cup. But the question that could

determine the fate of this year’s team - the reason one side fell to the French and the other never endured such misfortune - was whether they could toe the fine line between confidence and arrogance.

“The catch-cry of 2011 was expect the unexpected - I don’t think we did that in 2007,” said Hansen, an assistant coach in both campaigns.

“I think we rocked up a little arrogant and, like previous All Black teams over the years, may have been too comfortable and just expected it to happen.

“The funny thing about the World Cup is you know everyone’s intensity is going to go up through the roof, because everyone wants to win it.

“So you’ve got to go and earn the right to win it.

“We’ve understood that that was a mistake and it’s one we’re working hard and making sure we don’t do again.” - NZME

Naholo right on track All Blacks coach Steven Hansen had revealed that one of his biggest attacking weapons for the Rugby World Cup is on track to make his mark on the tournament.

Rookie winger Waisake Naholo was diagnosed with a cracked fibula after a match against Argentina last month. All Blacks medical staff said at the time it was a potential season-ending injury. But 24-year-old Naholo immediately flew back to the village of Nadroumai in his native Fiji on the advice of his uncle Isei Naiova who said he could cure him in time for the World Cup. Hansen told media yesterday that the big winger remains on track to play in the pool match against Georgia in Cardiff on October 3.

McKenzie the star On a night when an All Blacks folk hero first five-eighths returned to New Zealand rugby, a future All Blacks No 10 stole the show. Waikato’s 30-25 win over Southland included Stephen Donald’s first appearance in ITM Cup since 2011, but a new Waikato playmaker took control, with Damian McKenzie’s stellar performance leading Waikato to their third victory of the campaign 30-25. McKenzie was electric in the sodden Waikato Stadium conditions, with the 20-year old putting on an attacking clinic as he continued his superb ITM Cup season to date.

His running mate, halfback Brad Weber, also stood out, showcasing a combination which will be a Super Rugby staple of the Chiefs for years to come.

Piutau with Wasps?

Charles Piutau is expected to sign a short-term contract with English Premiership side Wasps, according to reports out of the UK. The 23-year-old utility back, who missed out on a place in the All Blacks’ 31-man World Cup squad and who will join Ulster next July, will reportedly sign a six-month contract with Wasps. The BBC reported that Ulster are not in a position to include Piutau on their roster for this season as their foreign allocation is full.

Defence sharpened A World Cup winner as a player, assistant coach Nathan Grey plans to sharpen the knife of the Wallabies’ defence heading into this month’s tournament. Grey was part of the triumphant 1999 squad along with fellow assistant coach Stephen Larkham and both were also in the 2003 squad who finished runners-up. Former centre Grey is charged with the responsibility of organising the defensive line of the 2015 side who begin their campaign in two weeks against Fiji in Cardiff.

Hayne the utility man Jarryd Hayne looks set to play against the Minnesota Vikings after the San Francisco 49ers pencilled the former NRL star in as a punt returner, kick returner and running back for the season opener. The 49ers unveiled their player depth chart yesterday and it confirms Hayne’s utility value to the team. Head coach Jim Tomsula obviously views the Australian as a weapon.

Federer ‘enjoys himself’

By Dave James Five-time champion Roger Federer put on a tennis masterclass yesterday, routing Richard Gasquet to reach his 10th US Open semi-final where he will face close friend Stan Wawrinka.

The 34-year-old, bidding to become the oldest champion in New York in 45 years, took just 87 minutes to beat Gasquet for the 15th time in 17 meetings, his 6-3 6-3 6-1 victory only revealing half the story.

The Swiss fired 50 winners and 16 aces and did not face a single break point.

Federer hasn’t dropped a set at the tournament in five rounds and has been broken just twice.

But he will be wary of the danger posed by Wawrinka despite holding a 16-3 career edge.

Wawrinka defeated him in their last meeting in straight sets in the quarter-finals on his way to the French Open title in June.

“I faced the big serves of John Isner in the last round so I felt tonight I had a little extra time,” said second seed Federer.

“I stayed aggressive and enjoyed myself.”

Also enjoying themselves watching the master at work on Arthur Ashe Stadium were Andre Agassi and Bjorn Borg as well as celebrities such as Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper.

“Stan played wonderfully against me in Paris and I was

The MSA Outdoor Bowling Club opens their season tomorrow, with a mini drawn tournament that begins at 1.30pm. The tournament will be at the club’s Racecourse Road green, and will be followed by afternoon tea. The club welcomes new members, with bowls at the club available for use.

V8 Supercars championship leader Mark Winterbottom has a secret weapon in the fitness department at AFL club Essendon. And no, it’s not what you’re thinking. As the championship turns to the make or break endurance races, Winterbottom is embracing a fitness regime he says has got him to the top and hopes will keep him there. He shares a trainer with the Bombers, and he’s known about it over the last month. “He’s been hurting me,” he confesses. “I’ve never trained so hard in my life.”

happy for him that he won the title.

“He really deserved it,” added Federer, who was playing in his 46th Grand Slam quarter-final to Gasquet’s fourth.

“He has worked so hard and really improved. I am happy to play him here for the first time.

“It’s cool for us and Switzerland.”

Wawrinka reached the semifinals with a 6-4 6-4 6-0 rout of South Africa’s Kevin Anderson.

Wawrinka, the 30-year-old fifth seed, booked a spot in his second US Open last-four

match, having also reached the same stage in 2013.

“I played my best match of the tournament so far,” said Wawrinka.

“Against Roger, I will need to play my best to win.

“It’s a big challenge but I am ready.”

Anderson, the 15th seed and playing in his first Grand Slam quarter-final, had knocked out third seed Andy Murray in the previous round.

That effort seemed to take its toll as he committed 42 unforced errors and carved out

just a single break point against the fifth-seeded Wawrinka, who romped to victory in just 107 minutes.

The result shattered 29-yearold Anderson’s hopes of becoming the first South African in the semi-finals in New York since Johan Kriek in 1980.

Anderson had won four of his last seven meetings with Wawrinka but he was horribly out of sorts, dropping serve in the seventh game of the first set and ninth of the second, and the third set was all over in 25 minutes.

Souths’ title defence on shaky ground South Sydney will conclude one of the poorer premiership defences in recent rugby league history if they lose to Cronulla in Sunday’s elimination final.

The Canterbury side of 2005 put up the worst defence of their title since the NRL was formed in 1998, after they lost their final six games of the season to plummet out of finals calculations and finish 12th.

The Melbourne outfit of 2010, finished with one more win, 14, than the Rabbitohs have in 2015, but they were banned from the finals series due to massive salary cap breaches.

It would be four losses in a

row if Souths have their season ended against the Sharks at Allianz Stadium.

Thing started poorly for Souths off the field when title winning skipper John Sutton was sacked from the captaincy following his and Luke Burgess’s drunken arrest in Arizona in November 2014.

But coach Michael Maguire’s side bounced back from the ensuing furore and rash of negative headlines to claim the Auckland Nines title and the World Club Challenge.

Their first round thrashing of Brisbane promised big things.

However on the back of injuries and ill-discipline the Rabbitohs have spluttered their way through much of the year.

They have conceded 109 points in their last three games and the arguably avoidable suspensions of Issac Luke and George Burgess, who will both be missing the clash with the Sharks, have not helped their cause.

However the Rabbitohs do have time to turn things around and star centre Dylan Walker is hopeful the finals can bring out the best in his teammates.

Greg Inglis’ return after two games out is a big boost.

Sutton will miss the rest of the season with a broken leg.

“It’s just about forgetting the memories - those were the normal round games, this is the finals time now.

“I’m just thinking about the

elimination final,” Walker said.

“It’s just do or die now.

“It brings a lot of pressure to all the players, that’s where I think a lot of players thrive, under pressure.”

Back-rower Chris McQueen said the Sharks are their sole focus, not what might have been or who is missing.

“There’s nothing that we can do to change those games and nothing we can do to change George being suspended.

“The only thing that’s important for us is focusing on what we can effect, and that’s the game this weekend,” he said.

“I think if you let it distract you, it can be a big distraction.

“But we’ve got to ignore that stuff and put it out of our head.”

The off-season arrived prematurely for the Warriors NRL side, but crunch time is approaching for the club’s under-20s and NSW Cup teams - both sides featuring in this weekend’s finals matches.

Awards boycott NRL players are reportedly set to boycott the end-of-season Dally M Awards due to a cash row. The Rugby League Players Association have been in discussions with the NRL about the game’s financial position for several months and been told by senior officials the game could not afford to meet their demands. But with the NRL earlier this season trumpeting a $50-million surplus for the last financial year, and Channel Nine having agreed to pay another $50 million up front as part of the new $925 million deal beginning in 2018, players believe they are entitled to a share of that money.

Soccer stars gambling Gambling has overtaken the demon drink as the main risk for cash-rich soccer players, according to former England captain Tony Adams who battled alcoholism before becoming a saviour for players fighting addiction. Adams, who founded the Sporting Chance clinic having come through his own drink hell, told how old professionals led him to the pub after training but modern-day stars fell for huge bets and the internet. More than 70 per cent of footballers, rugby players and stars from other sports who go through Sporting Chance are in the grip of gambling, according to the Arsenal legend who is football director for Azerbaijan side Gabala.

Former West Ham United and Stoke winger Matthew Etherington reckons he lost STG1.5 million ($NZ3.3m) on greyhounds, horses and cards. Adams’s former teammate Paul Merson has said he spent up to STG30,000 ($NZ66,000) betting on a single football match in the 1990s.

Majors ‘tough’ Kiwi golfer Lydia Ko says there’s a good reason she hasn’t yet managed to clinch a major title - majors are tough.

The world No.2 has one last chance to become the youngest woman to clinch a major title when she tees off at Evian Championship in France overnight.

The 18-year-old can usurp American Morgan Pressel, who won the Kraft Nabisco Championship at 18 years and 10 months in 2007, if successful at the $5.2 million tournament over the weekend.

Ko came close to winning women’s golf ’s fifth major as a 16-year-old amateur two years ago when she finished runner-up to Norway’s Suzann Pettersen, before finishing eighth last year.

Her solid track record in Evians-LesBaines and strong recent form, including victory at the Canadian Pacific Open three weeks ago, will be a boost to the teen’s confidence heading into the final major of the year.

Speaking at the pre-tournament press conference, Ko says the stakes are raised when the major tournaments roll around each year.

“We’re all trying to peak at the majors,” said Ko, who has eight LPGA titles to her name.

“And major courses, they’re tough.

“I mean, all courses we play, they have some tough holes but especially in the majors, the scores aren’t crazy low. It shows that you need a lot of concentration, a lot of focus out there.”

One player who is a proven performer in majors is Korea’s Inbee Park, who is looking to complete a career grand slam in France this weekend.

Park has won six of the last 14 majors dating back to the 2013 Kraft Nabisco Championship and no other player has won more than one during that span.

The Evian Championship remains the only gap on Park’s CV, although she won the event back in 2012 - the year before it was designated as a major.

Park can’t necessarily spell out her recipe for success on golf ’s biggest stages but she does know she fully devotes herself to those five weeks of the year.

“I don’t know.

“I really can’t explain why I am good at major tournaments, really, because if I look at the number of wins, I won 16 events is it, and seven of them is majors, so it’s a really big percentage compared to other players,” said Park yesterday.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your neighbourly attitude might lead you to learn more than you wanted.

However awkward you feel about the information, you will be better for being armed with this knowledge.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Unreal expectations will produce, at best, disappointment — at worst, cruelty. There is no reason for you to expect yourself to know how to behave in every situation.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Take charge by making a proposal. It doesn’t matter whether this is rejected or accepted. The point is that you’ll have changed the dynamic by asserting yourself.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll be asked to repeatedly perform a specific function. Sound nutrition and good hydration will help you to do more repetitions.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Creating a vision is important. Communicating it is more important. The clearer you get about your vision the easier it will be to convey it. Explain it to yourself, and you’ll find where the holes are.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Is the new stuff really going to be better than the status quo? That’s the question of the day, and you’re going to want to see examples and hard data before you’ll be willing to make any kind of a change.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Some are driven by the fear of losing autonomy and respect. It will be more important than ever to give them their due.

Awareness of each gesture will improve relationships.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Don’t expect it to be easy. Your idea could cause a multitude of reactions.

Your response will be akin to taking a pulse. You’ll find out what the current level of support is, and you’ll go from there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Deep inside, you want more recognition than you’re getting. A title would give you the validation and respect from the outside world that you seek.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Think proactively.

Take initiative. Waiting for problems and solving them is not the way. What might you do to make it better before a problem arises?

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Are opportunities more complicated than you’d like? Communication skills are on fire these days, and the answer is simple: State the conditions under which you could say yes.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Even if a person has been a part of your life for many years, you can always discover some fresh brilliance in that person.

Today will prove the point.

id Canterbury will look to reclaim the Hanan Shield tomorrow in the first tournament held at the EA Networks Centre Stadium in Ashburton.

Ange Leadley’s team will face 2008 winners South Canterbury in their opening tie tomorrow morning, before locking horns with North Otago in the afternoon fixture.

Leadley said she is expecting shield holders North Otago to be the stronger of her side’s two opponents, with Abbey McKenzie’s team expected to boast a strong blend of youth and experience.

“I think in terms of what South Canterbury can bring, certainly their club netball is quite strong so I’m expecting a strong game from them, but I think the stronger team will be North Otago,” she said.

“North Otago brought a range of experience last year.

“They had some really young players, but also had some older players that just knew exactly what to do and where to put the ball.

“Where we well fell down is that we didn’t rise to that challenge and our experience and our youth didn’t match them.”

Leadley said she does not have much insight in to the make-up of this year’s South Canterbury or North Otago teams, but is expecting two intense and exciting matches.

“In reality we have no idea, and I think that’s the exciting thing about this kind of netball,” she said.

“You’ve just got to throw everything you’ve got at the games because they’re only 40 minutes, so you’ve got to get in there, get the job done and get out.”

Mid Canterbury stalwarts Claire Tappin and Gina Taylor will return HANAN SHIELD to the fray for this season’s shield challenge, and Leadley is hoping the duo’s senior grade experience will EA Networks Centre Stadium: boost her side to shield glory.

Mid Canterbury A v South “This year, I’m hoping that I’ve got Canterbury, 9.30am. the right group of players to do that North Otago v South job.

“That’s no criticism of last year’s Canterbury, 11.30am. players, it’s just we had a few out with Mid Canterbury A v North pregnancies and injury,” she said.

Otago, 1.30pm.

“The likes of Claire Tappin, who brings a lot of experience and Gina (Taylor) was also out having a baby, when you take some of those key ones out, it does put a lot of pressure on those that are left, and they really Mid Canterbury coach Ange Leadley is hoping her team can bring the Hanan Shield back to Mid Canterbury after falling short had to carry that load.” in Oamaru last year.
