Mid Canty cops under-staffed

South to tackle north P19

Mid Canterbury’s police force is operating at less than half the Government’s recommended ratio of one officer per 500 people.

The plight of rural policing was highlighted in the Ashburton District Court this week, where it was noted just two constables were on duty on a Saturday night to cover 32,000 people excluding visitors.

The information was offered by a police officer giving evidence in a case involving two men defending charges of assaulting and obstructing police against a backdrop of mayhem in the Ashburton CBD in February last year.

Both constables were attempting to deal with at least two assaults which

left two men unconscious on the street.

One of the officers was punched on the chin leaving a four centimetre gash – the alleged perpetrator of that offence is scheduled to appear in a Timaru court next week.

As the local story came to the fore, Police Minister Judith Collins conceded there were not enough police officers to deal with the escalating crime rate, indicating a U-turn on the National Government’s previous assurances that sufficient funding and resources were directed to policing.

On Wednesday she told Newstalk ZB host Mike Hosking the Government had not kept pace with its own “modest” goal of one police officer per 500 people.

In fact the figure sat at about 1:526 due to population increases.

In the Ashburton policing district that ratio more than doubles to more than 1200 people, taking into account all sworn officers including sergeants, detectives and dedicated education, youth and highway patrol officers on top of constables.

Ashburton police Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said, despite two vacancies, current staffing numbers were at the approved level, but still fell well short of the demand for services.

The problem was compounded by the large area officers were required to cover.

Mid Canty Many alcohol opportunities cops under-staffed

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

From P1 “Our staffing numbers double on weekends due to the rosters that we employ, but Mid Canterbury is a very large district and it takes time for our staff to travel for example from Rakaia to Ealing to attend an incident,” he said.

While a signalled increase in police numbers would help, Mr Banfield was not counting on any short-term fix in rural areas, rather he said the focus will be on the cities and metro areas where the crime rate and calls for service are significantly higher.

“Rural districts will always be the last to see any increase in policing numbers,” he said.

The Ashburton District has 28 businesses selling take-away alcohol, one for every 1250 people.

Four of those were approved in the past year and the district now has more than 100 club, on and off licences.

Over the past year more than $6000 was paid to the Ashburton Liquor Licensing Authority in fees for licences that were either newly issued or renewed.

The Ashburton District Council tabled the licensing end-ofyear report at yesterday’s environmental services committee meeting. This report comes more than a year after the council signed off the district’s new local alcohol policy (LAP). It is not yet, however, part of the district’s licensing framework.

Although the council has

WE HAVE ADJUSTED OUR OPEN I NG HOURS

agreed to a new policy that would shorten bar hours and see a one-way door policy operating after 1am, the old rules that allow open style trading until 2am, remain in place.

The council’s policy, along with policies developed by other local authorities were appealed by a range of organisations but most of those have now been either resolved or withdrawn.

The Canterbury District Health Board and Canterbury medical officer of health, however still have challenges that have not been resolved.

Until the LAP is officially signed off, licensed premises continue to operate under the old policy regime.

What has changed is the way in which applications for liquor licences are handled. Hearings are now carried out by a district licensing committee.

Going for gold at Borough

BY EMMA MOODY

EMMA.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Summer Olympics may be in Rio this year but that doesn’t mean Ashburton Borough School are missing out on the action.

Yesterday the school held the first day of their Olympic games, which included games like tug of war with straws, blowing a Jaffa along a table and cotton-ball shot-put.

Michelle Shields, one of the Borough School Olympic referees, said each class came up with a sport for the competition.

Shields was the referee for the golf round of the games, which involved the students hitting a

tennis ball with a hockey stick off a small cone into a hoop.

On Wednesday the students got into groups and chose a country they would represent and made paper flags.

The students also represented their chosen countries by dressing up in their flag colours and some even showed up wearing flags as capes and with their country’s flag or name painted on their face.

Today, there is a medal ceremony, where the students will be awarded medals for showing the values of the Olympics, which are friendship, respect and excellence.

Book grant uncertainty

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

More than $10,000 is given away each year in grants to three community libraries, but the rules around what that money can be used for might be about to change.

Since 1991 the Ashburton Library has been given a pot of money each year to dispense to Methven, Rakaia and Mt Somers libraries. That money was to be used to buy books or other reading material by library committees for their community.

The grant was distributed by the Ashburton Library to ensure those libraries would have a regular book buying pool rather than having to make a pitch each year for a council grant, Ashburton Librarian Jill Watson said.

Mt Somers and Rakaia have received $2500 each and Methven $5500, but over the past two years Methven had not played by the rules. That meant it was told the grant wouldn’t be made this year.

That created an uproar in Methven library circles and Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay was called in to play mediator.

“It’s been normal practice for the library to present its balance sheet and make a request that the next grant be made,” he told councillors at yesterday’s

Ashburton District Council services delivery committee meeting.

This year the grant request was declined because the Methven Library’s balance sheet showed that only part of the grant had been spent on books. And while Ms Watson said that was against the spirit of the grant, Mr McKay said there was no record in the library’s minute books to show the grant came with a book-buying tag.

“They said this was the first time they were told what it should be used for,” he said. “It’s a discretionary grant and no concerns have been raised before.”

Miss Watson, however, said she believed the conditions had always been quite clear.

“It’s my understanding this money is for new books and the fund was set up to take over from the National Library when it wound up,” she said.

Reading material didn’t necessarily mean books, it could be magazines or other forms of the written word, but if councillors believed the grant could be used for other things, then this needed to be clarified, Ms Watson said.

“Going forward the council needs to consider these grants and how they’re administered.”

Councillors agreed to review the library grants conditions.

Safe SPACE for new mums, babies By emma moody

emma.m@theguardian.co.nz

Twice a week at the Ashburton Playcentre, first-time mums can find a place to learn about their growing babies and make some new friends.

The Ashburton Playcentre provides Ashburton with the SPACE (Supporting Parents Alongside Children’s Education) programme, which runs for about a year and has two

areas of focus, the first being the heart of parenting and the second being the growing child.

The SPACE programme has been in Ashburton for four years and SPACE facilitator Denise Stevenson said there is demand for two SPACE groups each year.

“It’s really good for both mum and baby,” she said.

Babies joining a new SPACE group are aged between three

weeks and four months.Ms Stevenson said the SPACE programme recognised the first three years of a baby’s life is the most important and spends a lot of time focusing on the developmental stages of a baby’s first years.

This week, the group of mums and babies focused on sleeping.

“It’s awesome to see the relationships develop between everyone,” Ms Stevenson said.

Registrations already coming in

By LiNda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Registrations for the Methven Summer School’s 2017 courses are coming in within just days of being launched.

Thirty-five classes with arts, food and lifestyle themes are planned for the second week of January and spokesperson Shirley Fitzgerald said 19 registrations had rolled in so far, some for the always-popular upholstery classes run by Brendan Patrick, from Tin-

wald Upholstery. Mrs Fitzgerald said the classes would again be based at Mount Hutt College and people were encouraged to register early to avoid missing out.

“It’s been busy to get it to the stage of securing the courses and tutors. Now we’ll wait for registrations to come in and make a call on numbers. We have to have numbers in some to make it viable.”

She said upholstery classes were always popular with a new take in

2017 on how to upholster a bedhead or ottoman.

A new class next year would teach people how to make their own backyard pizza oven. The class is tutored by Kerry Mulligan, from Nelson, and uses cob to make a pizza oven that is also a garden sculpture. The course covers oven design and considerations, oven materials and construction, and finishing, sculpting and decorating.

Mrs Fitzgerald said Mulligan

had been building with earth for years and loved sharing her knowledge and skills.

Pizza ovens were a favourite and fun project that introduced people to the world of earth and natural building and brought people together in sharing food.

There are 19 arts-type classes, which also include photography, making furniture from pallets, painting and hat-making.

Five food classes include glutenfree baking and the always popular

cheese-making.

The lifestyle classes include car maintenance, beekeeping, golf and vegetable gardening.

Mrs Fitzgerald said one of the evening events was a course in how to use a phone or compact cameras. Photographer Caroline Atkinson will share some tips on the principles of photography, including composition and lighting, as well as great apps for creative effects, editing, sharing and printing.

Intermediate students maths winners

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

A group of bright mathematicians from Ashburton Intermediate took out a number of first place prizes in the Aoraki Maths Competition on Wednesday night.

Four teams went to Timaru Boys’ High school to compete, bringing home two trophies, one for first place in the Year Seven division and one for the first place in the Year Eight division.

Of the other two teams, one scored third place and another scored joint fifth place.

The Aoraki Maths Competition is an annual event run by the Aoraki Maths Association and is open to any school in the region with Year Seven and Eight students.

The competition involved the teams, made up of four students each, completing 20 problem solving questions in 30 minutes.

Steven Ross, Timaru Boys’ High School teacher and president of the association, said the event can get quite lively and students can only proceed to the next question after entering the correct answer or passing.

Ashburton Borough School also had students competing in the competition, with one Year Seven and one Year Eight team.

However, they do not have results for Ashburton Intermediate teacher Nicole Kelsey and the four teams sent to the Aoraki where they placed yet.

Dogs boost coffers

By SuE nEwman

SuE.n@thEguardian.Co.nz

Miscreant dog owners were responsible for boosting the Ashburton District Council’s bank account by more than $15,000 last year.

In its wrap-up of dog offences for the year to June 30, environmental monitoring manager Rick Catchpowle put the increase in identified offending and fines down to a higher level of monitoring and enforcement by the council’s dog control contractor “We’re much better resourced now to respond to complaints,” he said.

Over the past year, dog control teams responded to 1201 complaints from the community with the majority of this, 583, relating to wandering dogs. This was almost three times the number of complaints dealt with in the previous year.

Barking dogs generated 163 complaints.

While there were a large number of complaints about dogs, the number of offences and fines was just 65. The majority of those, 37, were for failure to keep a dog controlled or confined (almost double the previous year) and failure to register a dog, 22.

In the past year the council had 6902 dogs on its books, up almost 50 on the previous year. Among those were 11 dogs listed as dangerous and 53 as menacing.

MasterGuard is the council’s dog control contractor and will respond to dog callouts around the clock.

The council opened its new dog pound in November 2014 at a cost of $520,000 and over the past year it was temporary home to about 250 dogs. Over the year it successfully rehomed 29 dogs that had been abandoned.

Pungent theft They say karma comes in many forms: and for some brazen Wellington car thieves, it was the pungent stench of a stoat’s backside.

A ute owned by conservation company Goodnature had been parked when thieves smashed a window and made off with a box that had been left in the vehicle.

Because markings on the box indicated chemicals were inside, company director Robbie van Dam suspected the burglars thought they were getting materials for drug-making.

Instead, they got something much more potent: 16 small bottles of experimental oil extracted from the anal glands of stoats.

Anal gland oil research is part of the company’s projects in learning about high-powered attractants for their A24 self-resetting trap.

The thieves could get more than they bargained for, just a few drops of scent glands in their car or home would stink for weeks.

The oil was so potent it was in the process of being moved off-site for storage.

“We’re normally just trying to attract stoats, rats or possums, but I guess there are other kinds of opportunist pests in Roseneath.”

In brief Accessway named A new accessway for a subdivision off Murdoch’s Road will be known as Rosedale Lane. The Ashburton District Council yesterday approved the name for the right of way that will serve a number of residential lots.

Road accident A one vehicle crash at 8.20am yesterday morning drew Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade and a St John Ambulance out to Maronan Road. As a result of the vehicle colliding with a power pole, the single occupant was transported to Ashburton Hospital Emergency Department to be treated for moderate injuries.

Chocolate festival A two-metre-high chocolate sculpture is one of the many things you can feast your eyes on at the New Zealand chocolate festival this weekend. Held at Te Papa, festival event manager Frank Stoltenberg said the aim was to showcase chocolate’s origins and the nutritional values of cacao beans as a superfood.

“It’s learning about it as a food and not seeing it in such a bad light,” he said. Five thousand visitors were expected at this year’s festival held at Te Papa over the weekend.

Coast butcher in top 6 West Coast butcher Rowan Lee has been named among the top six in New Zealand. He will be representing New Zealand next month, together with fellow Sharp Blacks, to defend their title in the World Butchers Challenge, on Australia’s Gold Coast. Mr Lee started his journey to becoming a Sharp Black last year after he was nominated for the national series, the Battle of the Butchers, in Auckland. He was selected from there as one of six to take on teams from Great Britain, France and Australia in the world challenge, which New Zealand has previously won three times.

They have been training together regularly in Christchurch in the lead up to the September 10 challenge. Mr Lee started in the butchery trade at 17 and has been working in Hokitika since March.

Public respond to foodbank plight

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

When the call went out from Mid Canterbury charities asking for help to restock foodbank shelves, the public responded.

Yesterday foodbank managers Judith Lilley, from the Salvation Army and Paul Thomas, from St Vincent de Paul, collected food and personal hygiene items collected in a campaign run by Radio Hokonui staff.

Both Mrs Lilley and Mr Thomas were pleased with the response and grateful for the generous donations, both to the radio station campaign and those dropped in at the respective charity’s offices.

Demand for food parcels is up 60 to 70 per cent on recent years as needy families struggle to make ends meet. While this couldn’t be attributed to any one single factor, Mrs Lilley said increasing costs and a delayed start to the Silver

Fern Farms’ Fairton meatworks season had added to the burden for many people.

With foodbank reserves replenished the charities still require donations to stock a newly-created hygiene bank.

The initiative was launched last week when it was noted some young women were taking time off school because they couldn’t afford sanitary products.

Some businesses, including the Methven Medical Centre, have launched appeals for sanitary products in response.

Mrs Lilley said these items were often the first to be crossed off household shopping lists in tough times.

Donations of soap, shampoo, toothbrushes and paste and household cleaners will also be welcomed by the hygiene bank and can be left at the Salvation Army Family Store on Cass Street or St Vincent de Paul on Park Street.

Nauru refugees suffering Explosive documents reveal the bad treatment of asylum seekers in Nauru’s offshore detention centre Nauru is essentially like an open-air prison for these refugees and people seeking asylum, reports have been leaked detailing horrific incidents with refugees.

A girl sewed her mouth shut and was laughed at by the guards on duty.

A young boy was threatened with his life and, on one occasion, a guard requested sexual favours from someone who wanted a four-minute shower instead of two.

These are just some of the examples of harrowing abuse, sexual assault, child abuse and self-harm attempts detailed in an explosive report on the treatment of asylum seekers in Nauru’s offshore detention centre.

More than 2000 leaked documents detail disturbing incidents, including a pregnant woman begging not to have her baby in Nauru as she believed her baby would die in the island hospital.

Amnesty International conducted a 12-day investigation in July that detailed the Australian Government’s design of a system of deliberate abuse to deter potential asylum seekers from even attempting to come

to Australia. “I’ve conducted over 60 investigations into human rights abuses but few other countries go to such lengths to deliberately inflict suffering on people searching for safety and freedom.

“It is clear from these documents, and our own research, that many have been driven to the brink of physical or mental breakdown by their treatment on Nauru.”

The damning report details numerous incidents of self harm.

Australia’s strict border protection policy has come under worldwide scrutiny, including from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein.

Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton routinely tweets about the Coalition’s success with stopping the boats. On July 27, the Turnbull government celebrated the two-year anniversary of no illegal boat arrivals.

Mr Turnbull stated: “The material that’s been published will

Fire ravages parts of Europe Fires whipped by high winds ravaged swaths of southern France and Portugal, killing at least four people, burning scores of homes and forcing the evacuation of thousands.

In France, multiple fires formed a column marching toward the port city of Marseille. Hundreds of miles away, a fire swept overnight into Funchal, the capital of Portugal’s Madeira Islands, killing three elderly people. A forest watchman was killed on the mainland when one of more than 100 blazes en-

gulfed the caravan he was sleeping in.

Two people were reported injured, one seriously, as the fire in southern France moved toward Marseille, four firefighters were injured, three seriously.

Miguel Albuquerque, head of Madeira’s regional government, told reporters the three local victims died in their burned homes as the wildfire hit the coastal city in the dark. He said two other people were seriously hurt and one person went missing.

be examined. It’s not clear over what time period it relates, at least not in the report that I saw.

He added, “The Australian Government provides support to the Government of Nauru and their police force in dealing with complaints of this kind.”

Nauru’s detention centre was temporarily closed in 2008 by Kevin Rudd but, after 7000 boat arrivals to the Australian mainland and hundreds of deaths at sea, the offshore centre was reopened in 2012.

Boy decapitated The 10-year-old boy killed during a ride on the world’s tallest waterslide was decapitated in the accident, a person familiar with the investigation said. Authorities have yet to explain how it happened.

The person was speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak publicly about the death of Caleb Schwab on the Verruckt raft ride at the Schlitterbahn Water Park in Kanas City, Kansas.

Two women were also in the raft at the time and were treated for facial injuries.

Archaeologists have made a sinister discovery at the top of a Greek mountain which might corroborate one of the darkest legends of antiquity. Excavations on Mount Lykaion, once worshipped as the birthplace of the god Zeus, uncovered the 3000-year-old skeleton of a teenager amid a mound of ashes built up over a millennium from sacrificed animals. Greece’s Culture Ministry said that the skeleton was found in the heart of the 30m broad ash altar, next to a man-made stone platform. Excavators say it’s too early to speculate on the nature of the teenager’s death but the discovery is remarkable because the remote Mount Lykaion was for centuries associated with the most nefarious of Greek cults. Archaeologists have found evidence the site had been occupied since Neolithic times.

OUR VIEW

Limit tourist numbers Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

T

here’s a lot to recommend a bid by the Green Party to double the amount of tax foreign tourists pay to enter New Zealand.

This would not be simply a revenue generating exercise that would drop millions of dollars into a government pool, this money would be tagged for some key uses – boosting our predatorfree programme and providing funds to help local authorities develop the infrastructure they need to deal with massive numbers of tourists.

It’s a simple plan – up the amount of money a tourist pays to enter New Zealand. Even if this rises to $50 it’s unlikely to turn anyone away, but that extra $30 multiplied by our ever-growing numbers of tourists, would quickly build into a useful pool of cash.

The proposed tax wouldn’t apply to New Zealanders and it’s about time we were rewarded for being us.

This money could also have another use, bridging the income gap if we bite the bullet and put limits on tourist numbers to some of our major natural attractions.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that while tourists are a valuable dollar earner, they’re also putting those attractions under massive pressure.

Anyone who has walked some of our major hiking trails knows that a big part of the attraction is the pure, pristine environment where you’re unlikely to see not just another human, but also any evidence that any have walked that way.

Some of those tracks have limits on numbers, but many do not and neither do our tourist hot spots.

Many of us have had horror experiences overseas when we’ve visited an historic or scenic site, only to find we’re battling thousands of other tourists just to get a glimpse of what’s on offer. It certainly kills the experience.

Tourist overload is already happening in New Zealand and we’re in danger of losing the very thing our tourists want, the untouched isolation experience.

If we’re looking at hitting tourists with a higher tax to enter our country, we should bite the bullet at the same time and limit the numbers able to flock at one time into our best natural attractions.

Yes, we’ll lose out financially, but once our most valuable attractions are ruined under millions of feet, we’ll lose out anyway.

Mid Canty the crazy cat lady capital of NZ? L

ast week I had a PR lady from Purina telling me all about “Take your pet to work day” last Thursday and how more and more people were taking their cats to work with them for the day.

My initial thoughts were “they are bonkers”, but then I got to thinking about my old cat Basil, currently in that great dirt box in the sky.

I remember when I picked him up and was on my way home with him, I was instructed by the crazy cat ladies at work to stop by and show them Basil.

It was back in the days when our studios and offices were upstairs in Tancred Street. He was such a chilled-out dude! I took him up there and let him go and he just wandered around the place, checking it out without a worry in the world. Knowing him he would have been looking for somewhere to curl up and have a nap. So anyway, where I was going with this was, if the cat had

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Basil’s temperament, then that would be just fine.

The PR lady sent me some Purina packs to give away which included biscuits, a feeding bowl, toys and other stuff for moggies.

So Tuesday morning I loaded up a photo of the Crazy Cat Lady Puddy Tat Pack on my Facebook page and asked people to tag a “crazy cat lady” that would love the pack.

Three hundred and 86 entries in less than 24 hours later we had a winner. Her name is Annette and she was nominated by Ange, who told me Annette befriends stray cats in her street and tames them enough to catch them. She then takes them to the vets for a

wee operation at her cost, then continues to look after them as if they were her own. She currently has five feline friends at her place.

I think she is a pretty cool kind of crazy!

I got a few surprises from the giveaway.

Firstly, how big the response was. People decided they needed to tell me in-depth all about their cats, a lot sent photos with their comments.

Secondly, I was surprised at how many tagged my partner Amanda. I didn’t realise just how many of her mates knew she was a CCL. Thirdly, I was surprised just how many families have more than two cats. Does owning more than two cats automatically qualify someone as a CCL? Yes is the answer. Unless of course a bloke had one cat and then his neighbour passed away and her cat got left behind and her cat couldn’t be caught and

hung around, getting skinnier and skinnier until the afore-mentioned bloke starting feeding the cat and ended up taking the cat in. Then if that same bloke was to shack up with his lovely partner and she brought her two cats with her, so he ended up with a total of four cats at his house, surely he would be exempt from any such title?

If we are the CCL capital of New Zealand, there are a lot worse things we could be eh?

I can’t wait to see the expression on the “boys from golf” faces when I tell them I had heaps of ladies sending me photos of their pussys this week.

ANZ, Westpac limit mortgage rate cuts

BY EDWIN MITSON Two of New Zealand’s major banks have rewarded savers more than borrowers in the wake of the cut to the official cash rate by upping the interest rate for deposits while making more modest reductions to mortgage rates.

Governor Graeme Wheeler cut interest rates to a record low of 2 per cent from 2.25 per cent.

He later told a briefing that the central bank “would like to see most of it passed on; it’s up to the banks to work out what they want to do – lower lending rates or attract more deposits through higher deposit rates”.

Westpac cut its floating mortgage rate by 10 basis points or 0.1 per cent to 5.65 per cent. The rate will be effective from today for new lending and from August 31 for existing borrowers. It has introduced a special six-month

term deposit rate of 3.5 per cent, a rise of 50 basis points or 0.5 per cent.

deposits 30 basis points.

State-owned Kiwibank has moved to pass the rate cut on to borrowers to a greater extent. It has reduced its home loan variable rate by 0.2 per cent to 5.25 per cent, while its offset rate will fall by 0.25 per cent to 5.25 per cent and its revolving home loan rate by 0.2 per cent to 5.3 per cent.

The rates will be effective from August 15 for new customers and from August 29 for existing borrowers.

Bank of New Zealand and ASB Bank have yet to respond to the cut to the official cash rate.

New Zealand’s banks have raised deposit rates to try to secure greater domestic funding for the loans they issue, rather than borrow the money abroad, where the cost is more volatile and can be driven up by instability from events like Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand still has room to move on monetary policy unlike many central banks that have already pulled their policy levers to the limits of their effective range, governor Graeme Wheeler says.

At Parliament’s finance and expenditure select committee, Wheeler said quantitative easing by central banks across the globe has reached $US150 billion a month and there are now $US12 trillion of government securities trading on negative yields because central banks had been forced to ramp up their stimulus programmes.

“The worry is central banks have accommodated so much it’s taken a lot of pressure off governments to do structural policy reform,” Wheeler said.

“What I would think is important in a lot of those countries is there be appropriate fiscal positions adopted and more aggressive structural reform because I think the central banks are running out of ammunition in those countries.”

New Zealand interest rates are still a stand-out in a world of extraordinarily low borrowing yields. The 10-year government bond is yielding 2.38 per cent compared to 1.51 per cent for the benchmark US 10-year Treasury bond, a negative yield of -0.1 per cent on Japanese 10year government bonds and -0.12 per cent on 10-year German bunds.

When asked by Labour Party finance spokesman Grant Robertson whether New Zealand was among those nations that

had reached the limit of monetary policy, Wheeler said no.

“I think it’s approaching its limited effectiveness in countries that have negative interest rates and have high quantitative easing and you’ve now got negative interest rates in countries that represent a quarter of world output,” Wheeler told politicians. “We still have power with our monetary policy, but we can mainly affect inflation through the non-tradables sector.”

Wheeler disagreed that the policy targets agreement – which tasks him with targeting the 2 per cent midpoint of a 1-to-3 per cent band for headline inflation – needed changing because it allows the bank enough flexibility to allow for issues outside its control.

“One could argue where the targets should be, but I don’t think there’s a good case for moving away from inflation targeting,” Wheeler said.

The Reserve Bank cut its official cash rate 25 basis points to 2 per cent yesterday, a record low, and indicated more reductions are likely as a persistently high New Zealand dollar makes it difficult for Wheeler to stir inflation back up within the bank’s target range.

Higher yields have stoked demand for the kiwi dollar, which was tracking 6 per cent above the Reserve Bank’s projections on a trade-weighted basis when it signalled a rate cut was imminent last month and has been a key factor in New Zealand’s tradable sector facing negative inflation for the past four years.

In brief Vital reports 21% gain Vital Healthcare Property Trust, which raised $160 million last month to help fund its growth strategy, reported a 21 per cent gain in full-year profit as rental income rose and it recognised a gain in the value of its portfolio.

Profit rose to $117 million in the year ended June 30, from $96.5 million a year earlier, the Aucklandbased hospital and healthcare property developer and investor said in a statement.

Wynyard win Wynyard Group said it has secured a $10 million revolving credit facility with major shareholder Skipton Building Society which will help the crime-fighting and security software developer manage its “revenue timing risks”.

The one-year facility, secured over the assets of the company, includes arrangement and commitment fees, and drawdown fees of 8 per cent and an annual interest rate of 15 per cent on any amount drawn down, the Auckland-based company said in a statement.

Food prices drop New Zealand annual food prices fell in July, as weaker dairy prices weighed on the grocery segment.

Food prices dropped 1.3 per cent in July from the same month a year earlier, the biggest decline in the series this year, Statistics New Zealand said. Prices were down 0.2 per cent from June. Grocery prices dropped 2.9 per cent in the year, led by dairy products as cheese fell 11 per cent, fresh milk dropped 3.2 per cent, yoghurt slid 9.7 per cent and butter shed 11 per cent. This was partly offset by a 37 per cent increase in the price of honey. Dairy product prices have remained low for longer than expected amid a global glut in supply and weak demand. – NZME

Datacom tops $1b Australasian IT services provider Datacom Group has boosted 2016 full-year revenue over the $1 billion mark, in a sector experiencing what chief executive Jonathan Ladd dubbed “a phase of hyperchange”. The private New Zealandowned company, whose primary shareholders are the Holdsworth family’s Evander Management, with 52.4 per cent, and the New Zealand Superannuation Fund, with 37.64 per cent, reported a revenue increase of 13 per cent to $1.058 billion for the year ended March 31, it said in a statement.

That pushed its 10-year compound annual growth rate to 11.5 per cent.

Brierley’s new offer Ron Brierley’s Mercantile NZ has given notice of a new offer for the cashed-up former retailer Kirkcaldie & Stains, amounting to a 7 per cent premium on its last traded price but still below the wash-up value of the business.

Mercantile, the third-largest shareholder in the company now called Wellington Merchants, would offer $3.45 per share cash for the remainder. Merchants stock last traded at $3.22. Brierley’s approaches have so far been spurned by the directors of Merchants.

Don’t panic; medals coming It’s been another medal-less day for the New Zealand team at the Rio Olympics.

Anxiety levels are rising among Kiwi fans with 48 hours having now passed since New Zealand’s last medal, courtesy of silver to the women’s sevens team.

That followed New Zealand’s surprise first medal of the Games, which came via Timaru shooter Natalie Rooney in the women’s trap.

Since then the storylines have been dominated disappointment and heartbreak for our athletes.

Two medal opportunities have been missed over the past two days, with the equestrian riders blowing a prime chance to podium in the team’s eventing, while cyclist Linda Villumsen, the reigning world champion in the individual time trial, finished a disappointing sixth overnight.

The New Zealand men’s sevens team are also out of the medals after dropping their quarter-final match against Fiji yesterday morning – their third loss of their campaign.

But while the sparse couple of days on the medal front has broken any momentum, the true barometer of New Zealand’s Games

Mains bows out Kiwi swimmer Corey Main’s Olympic Games are over after he finished eighth in his semi-final and 14th overall in the 200m backstroke. Teammate Bradlee Ashby also finished 14th overall in the 200m individual medley, after taking sixth in his semi-final.

Main’s one minute 58.08 seconds at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium was well off the winning pace set

by Russian Evgeny Rylov’s 1:54.45.

Main had clocked his second personal best of the Olympics when he qualified 15th-fastest for the final with 1:57.51 in the morning heats.

Out on the rowing course men’s pair Hamish Bond and Eric Murray, overwhelming favourites for gold, will contest their final in the early hours of this morning, while the men’s lightweight four team of James Hunter, Alistair Bond, Peter Taylor and James

Lassche are also in the ‘A’ final.

The track cycling programme also gets under way this morning, with Ethan Mitchell, Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins a strong chance of kicking off their campaign on a high in the men’s team sprint.

Super Saturday could bring further rowing medals, while

swimmer Lauren Boyle, New Zealand’s only medal hope in the pool, set to compete in her favoured 800m freestyle event.

But the big focus on Saturday will be shotput queen Valerie Adams, who is looking to make history as the first New Zealand woman to claim three Olympic gold medals.

The sevens dream – where it all went wrong New Zealand Rugby’s strategic goal of two gold medals at this Olympics has come up well short, and the defeat by the men’s team to Fiji in their quarter-final yesterday will inevitably lead to change.

As far as the men’s team is concerned, the organisation appeared unwilling to commit all its resources to winning gold.

It was always going to be a juggling act given the All Blacks’ importance to the game here, but loose forward Ardie Savea was allowed to leave the squad and concentrate on 15s and New Zealand Rugby, despite being his employers, admitted they were powerless to act.

It’s unlikely that Savea, would have made much difference, but it was another indication of mud-

A sudden change in alkaline levels in the Olympic diving pool in Rio has been blamed for turning the water a bright shade of green.

The problem also affected the synchronised swimming pool to a lesser degree on Tuesday with athletes puzzled and concerned.

But Rio communications director Mario Andrada said the health of competitors was not at risk with checks confirming chlorine and PH levels were within required standards. “We have treated both pools during the night and the alkalinity levels have already improved. We expect the colour to be back to blue very shortly.”

Gymnast kicked out

taking home a silver medal, but the men’s team, under coach Sir Gordon Tietjens, were well off their game at this tournament, beating only Kenya and losing to Japan, Great Britain and Fiji.

There will probably be casualties from New Zealand’s failure.

When the Olympic sevens squads were announced at Eden Park last month, Tietjens was reluctant to talk about his future.

The 60-year-old has been in charge for more than 20 years and that is a very long time as a head coach.

He has enjoyed many successes, but now might be the chance to appoint a new individual with new ideas, and it’s likely that Tietjens will come to that decision himself.

A Dutch gymnast has been booted from the Rio Olympics after a night out drinking alcohol a day before he was due to compete in the team gymnastic final. Yuri van Gelder, nicknamed the Lord of the Rings, was sent home from Rio by the Netherlands team after he left the Olympic village for a night on the town on Saturday night, returning in the early hours of Sunday morning. Netherlands chef de mission Maurits Hendriks issued a statement which said the decision to send van Gelder home was very difficult. “It’s terrible for Yuri, but this kind of behaviour is unacceptable. In sports terms this is a disaster, but we had no other choice given the violation of our values.” In a statement on his website, van Gelder said he would not be commenting on his expulsion.

■ HOCKEY

In brief

NZ team crush hosts 9-0 The New Zealand men’s hockey side trounced home country Brazil 9-0 in their penultimate pool match of the Rio Olympic Games.

After scoring just one goal in the first quarter, the Kiwi side flipped the switch and put four goals in 11 minutes past the Brazilians in the second, effectively ending the game as a contest.

Striker Nick Wilson was in devastating form with four goals while Shay Neal, Simon Child, Kane Russell, Stephen Jenness and Nic Woods added to the tally.

The result was vital for their medal hopes, keeping them in contention going into their final pool match against the highlyrated Belgium.

Head coach Colin Batch said it was pleasing to come and get the result required to stay in the hunt at the Olympics.

“We’re very pleased with the win, it was a crucial match that we needed three points from so this puts us back in the tournament,” he said.

“We didn’t set ourselves a margin but it was nice to win by nine, that could prove important if goal differential comes into play.”

New Zealand opened the scoring in the 14th minute when Wilson ran onto an aerial defensive deflection into the circle and calmly guided the ball past the goalkeeper.

Four minutes later it was Wilson on the score sheet again after receiving a nice pass at the top of the circle from Hugo Inglis and

Sonny Bill Williams will have surgery on his ruptured achilles once he returns from Rio and is unlikely to play again until he turns out for his new franchise the Blues in next year’s Super Rugby competition.

And while the break is likely to frustrate the All Black midfielder, who has seen his hopes of playing in this month’s Rugby Championship and November tour of the USA and Europe dashed, it might do him good in the long term, coach Steve Hansen said.

Terrifying taxi ride Olympic silver medallist Natalie Rooney had a terrifying taxi ride back to the Olympic Village just 72 hours after winning New Zealand’s first medal at the Rio Olympics.

The 28-year-old, who won silver in women’s trap shooting, caught a taxi from the New Zealand club based at Rio’s Sheraton Hotel back to the village. Rooney became frightened and upset when the driver demanded 275 reais, 175 reais more than the pair agreed on at the start of the journey.

It is understood the taxi driver eventually accepted 100 reais, leaving Rooney out in the dark where a security guard came to her aid and arranged a private car to take her back to the village. - NZME New Zealand’s Shay Neal scores a goal despite the defence of Brazil’s goalkeeper Rodrigo Faustino during a men’s field hockey match at the 2016 Summer Olympics. smashing home on his forehand.

The Kiwis went out by three goals in the 20th minute with a perfect crash ball across the face of goal from Child finding Neal at full dive to deflect in on his reverse stick.

Empty seats at major venues It’s the elephant in the Olympic room.

As world class athletes show their stuff in Rio, vast swathes of stadiums are sitting empty as organisers fail to sell tickets to the events.

Vacant seats have been spotted at a huge range of events including the opening ceremony, water polo, beach volleyball, rugby sevens, weightlifting, tennis and gymnastics despite the drawcards of world class athletes like Rafael Nadal and US gymnast Simone Biles.

Tickets are still available for the athletics finals at the end of next week for between $350 and $1200 Brazilian Real with even Olympic great Usain Bolt forced to encourage fans to come along with a video on his Twitter account.

The vacancies have been blamed on a combination of factors including inaccessible venues, lengthy security checks, fears over Zika, a recession in Brazil and high ticket prices.

Organisers said Brazilians are late buyers and 84 per cent of all tickets have been sold. They claimed some venues were hosting double-header events and guests were opting to show up for one session only. - NZME

Break ‘good’ for SBW

Black Sticks do enough New Zealand’s women’s Black Sticks have been made to work hard for a 2-1 win over Spain to keep their hopes of a quarter-final berth alive. Two goals to Kelsey Smith led the way for the Kiwis as lowly Spain put up a tremendous fight on the turf. The win was the side’s second and temporarily moves them to the top of their pool, equal with the Netherlands on six points - NZME

In brief Cancer diagnosis tough Sir Colin Meads’ family says it remains unclear what stage his cancer is at or how long he may have to live. The legendary lock, affectionately known as Pinetree, was diagnosed with the disease on Tuesday after six months of illhealth. Last month Sir Colin, who turned 80 in June, was admitted to Waikato Hospital over concerns with a kidney illness. Sir Colin said the diagnosis has been tough on his family. “It’s bloody hard for Verna, the kids and grandkids.”

Sir Colin’s son, Glynn, says his father needs to go back for further tests at Waikato Hospital. The news about his father was a big shock and the family expected a tough road ahead.

Hammers set for Coast clash

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s Heartland Championship preparations will continue with a pre-season hitout against West Coast at Lincoln University tomorrow.

Craig Dunlea and James Jowsey’s training plans were disrupted by the snow over the weekend, but the co-coaches made the most of the time to work on their off-field goals.

“We did a lot around team building and our core values for the season, so that was really productive,” Dunlea said.

“James’ wife, Megan, is a sports psychologist – she spoke to them, which was great.”

With only 11 players returning from last year’s squad that progressed to the Meads Cup semi-final, Dunlea and Jowsey were keen for the new crop of players to familiarise themselves with their new surroundings and team-mates.

“It’s been brilliant, we’ve split

them into mini-teams, mixed up clubs and positions, and that’s how they’ve been working,” he said.

John Dampney will return as skipper for the 2016 campaign and be backed up by newly appointed vice-captain Will Mackenzie, while Eric Duff will also play a key leadership role within the new-look group.

“The three of them will be huge, Will’s (Mackenzie) contribution at training has been brilliant,” he said “He’s matured a hell of a lot, so we thought it was time for him to step up and Eric (Duff) as well – he’s a real leader, too.”

The Mid Canterbury faithful will have noticed Murray Williams’ absence from this year’s squad list, with the stalwart No. 10 not returning for a fourth season.

But Dunlea is confident that High School Old Boys’ first-five Jared Percival has the tools to flourish this term.

“We identified JP early on as a potential loan player, every year he’s one of the leading point scorers in Christchurch rugby – he controls the game very well and he’s got a great boot,” he said.

“I think he’ll add something different and he’ll fit our style of rugby really well.”

Tomorrow’s fixture will be played over 30-minute thirds with five-minute intervals in between, which will offer Dunlea and Jowsey a fine opportunity to test the depth of their squad.

“By playing three thirtyminute blocks we can mix-andmatch, so everyone will have a good crack,” said Dunlea.

Mid Canterbury will welcome old enemy South Canterbury to the showgrounds in their next pre-season clash before kicking off the Heartland Championship against Hanan Shield rivals North Otago in Ashburton on August 27.

Saturday’s fixture: Mid Can-

terbury v West Coast, Lincoln University, 2.30pm.

Shane Flanagan is set to become Cronulla’s longest-serving coach after signing a two-year contract extension which will keep him at the NRL club until the end of 2019.

Flanagan was contracted until the end of next year but the club moved to wrap him up long-term following the side’s stellar season.

In second place with four rounds remaining, Flanagan has the side well placed to claim a longawaited maiden premiership for Cronulla and the new deal rewards his efforts in turning the club around since the dark days of the supplements scandal.

Girls’ academy launched Watch closely in 2017 and 2018 for the first signs of the Kelston Girls’ College rugby academy bearing fruit. Recently launched, the academy is the first of its kind for an all-girls’ college in Auckland, and the hope is to capitalise on the growing interest in rugby from schoolgirls, many of whom have come from other sports or are lured by the presence of sevens at the Olympics. Kelston GC sports co-ordinator Sam Baker said he and principal Linda Fox decided to form a rugby academy, which has seen 20 students in 2016 benefit from several practical sessions a week on the game, looking mainly at fitness and skills. The range is Years 9-12, with a focus on youth development.

Locals gun for test glory

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Four Mid Canterbury indoor bowlers will be heading to Christchurch this weekend to compete in the annual North versus South Island test match.

It will be the second time Simon Thomas, Michael Lawson, Grant Wilson and Matt Markham will lock horns with the North Islanders in the space of a week following the Ashburton team’s clash with the north-

erners on Monday. The local team put up a competitive fight, taking out the first round of games 5.5-2.5, to be the first association to put pressure on the touring North Island side.

But after a fine start, they were unable to capitalise on their efforts – losing 6.5-1.5 in the second round and 6-2 in the third for a final score of 15-9.

The best results of the encounter came from Wilson, who won his three games

against North Island representative Avon Compton in the men’s singles, and Lawson and Markham’s 2-1 victory over Paul Smith and Jason Parker in the men’s pairs.

The local foursome will now turn their attention to wrestling the Kevin Eddy Memorial Trophy from the North Islanders’ grasp as part of the South Island team this weekend.

The south have not beaten the north since 2003, but came

close in a thrilling 25-23 defeat last year. Three of the four Ashburton players, Thomas, Lawson and Wilson, will team up with Otago’s Daniel French to form the men’s fours team, while Markham will combine with Gary Low of Southland and South Otago’s Robert Wilson to play the men’s triples team.

The North Island v South Island test will begin at 10am at Canterbury’s Association Hall tomorrow.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Rookie stand-in duo filling Luke’s boots The Warriors might be without one of their key playmakers in injured hooker Issac Luke, but stand-in duo Nathaniel Roache and Jazz Tevaga are ensuring the side lacks little in his absence.

Luke is scheduled to return from arthroscopic knee surgery in the final round match against Parramatta at Mt Smart Stadium, but the pair of 20-year-old rookies are putting aside their rivalry to help the Warriors stay on course for their first finals appearance since 2011.

As he did in last week’s win over the Titans on the Gold Coast, Tevaga’s strong tackling will help the Warriors weather the opening onslaught from a formidable South Sydney pack in Saturday’s clash at Mt Smart Stadium.

Roache will likely get his opportunity again around the midway point of the first half and

look to boost the side’s attack by testing the tiring Rabbitohs forwards with his sharp running game.

Tevaga has the slight edge in experience with 10 games under his belt to Roache’s eight, but both feel fortunate to be getting long minutes due to Luke’s misfortune in suffering a slight meniscus tear in his right knee in the round 21 win over Penrith.

“It’s pretty awesome,” enthused Roache. “Jazz and I are pretty grateful just to be in the team this year and I think we’re handling it pretty well.

“On the weekend we played exactly the same minutes (40) and we’re learning off each other so it’s pretty good.”

A converted back-rower, Tevaga offers some versatility in the middle of the field and while his defensive ability is obvious, Roaches is quick to point out

that his No9 comrade is far from a one-trick pony.

“Jazz is a really good defender but he has a lot to offer on attack too,” he said. “He’s a good runner of the ball and has some good deception around the ruck.

“But when the opposition forwards get a bit tired that’s when I probably come into play and I can do my job and add a bit more speed around the ruck.”

Roache is also multi-skilled and can play wider out at fiveeighth or fullback but some recent time back in reserve grade and in the Under 20s enabled him to work on choosing his moments with the ball in hand and refine his tackling on more evenly sized opponents.

“The main thing for me is taking my opportunities and also my defence, getting better technique in getting those big guys down, because I’m not the big-

gest dude in the middle.

“Having that time in 20s and NSW Cup definitely gave me time to work on those things and now I am applying them in first grade.”

Luke has been a guiding presence for both youngsters throughout the year and Tevaga says healthy competition is helping both to realise their potential.

“I’m loving it,” said Tevaga.

“The way I play is a bit more grind and then Nate comes on with his explosiveness and carves up.

“We’re both in the development group under Issac and we’re getting the best out of each other. We have the same goal of getting more game time.

“I’m happy for him if he gets called up and he’s happy for me but we’re keeping each other honest.”

Canterbury will only get their full Mitre 10 Cup squad together for the first time on Monday as outgoing coach Scott Robertson plots the defence of their Premiership title and a possible eighth crown in nine seasons.

That short, five-day, lead-in to their home opener against 2015 finalists Auckland will be challenging enough, but Canterbury must also get up to speed with the new breakdown trial laws.

Robertson, who will swap his Canterbury clipboard for a Crusaders one after this campaign, his ninth with the province, and fourth as head coach, has named an extended squad, but this includes injured lock Mitch Dunshea, who is out for the season, and current All Blacks Wyatt Crockett, Owen Franks, Ryan Crotty, Joe Moody, Kieran Read, Luke Romano, Codie Taylor and Sam Whitelock.

“It’s the mental side of it, more than the physical, for some of the Super Rugby guys coming back in,” says Robertson. “We’ve got Crusaders, but also Chiefs and Highlanders boys like Dominic Bird, Tom Sanders, Siate Tokolahi, Rob Thompson and Luke Whitelock.

“It’s a bit of excitement around having Auckland first up at home.

We need to be sharp around our preparation because we basically start on Monday. You will see some new, young guys.”

There will be no resting on laurels, even if the only significant losses from the 2015 group are outside back Nathaniel Apa, prop Nepo Laulala and goalkicking ace Tom Taylor.

“We’ve had a good run (since 2008) and it’s off the back of breaking every year down, but this group have their own goals to achieve.”

We should see the full flowering of talents such as Chiefs loose forward Tom Sanders, a fond farewell for wing Johnny McNicholl, often dazzling at this level, and a close look at the likes of fiveeighths Jordie Barrett, fresh from a fine NZ Under 20s’ campaign.

Interesting newcomers include Fijian-Crusader No 10 Ben Volavola, former Auckland hooker Nathan Vella, 2015 Wanganui midfielder Poasa Waqanibau, former Flying Fijians prop Lee Roy Atalifo, and former Saracens and England Under 20s flyer Nathan Earle, who has been on fire for Sumner in Canterbury club rugby and looked the goods at the 2014 Junior World Championship in New Zealand.

New Zealand Rugby do not promote the draw as a separate Pre m i e r s h i p - C h a m p i o n s h i p competition, as it is, but that does not change the approach of the coaches, not when a clutch of Championship sides upset their Premiership rivals in 2015.

Robertson recalls, in particular, how North Harbour pushed them 17-10 last season and indeed shocked Canterbury in 2014 in one of the great upsets in NPC history.

Will Wallabies coach Michael Cheika give Quade another chance against the All Blacks?

■ RUGBY

Cheika toying with Cooper as five-eighth

By Darren Walton Wallabies coach Michael Cheika is toying with the idea of turning to Quade Cooper as his playmaker for Australia’s Rugby Championship opener against the All Blacks.

While Bernard Foley remains favourite to retain the No.10 jersey for the Sydney showdown on Saturday week, the Wallabies’ plans to use more tactical kicking in a bid to unsettle the world champions has raised the intriguing prospect of Cooper earning a surprise recall.

Kiwi-born Cooper has endured a tumultuous career against the All Blacks, infamously dubbed New Zealand’s “Public Enemy No.1” before flopping in Australia’s World Cup semi-final loss at Eden Park in 2011.

But the enigmatic star is also the only player in the past decade to start at five-eighth in two Wallabies victories over the All Blacks, having piloted Australia to wins in Hong Kong in 2010 and Brisbane the following year.

Tellingly, Foley on Thursday revealed the Wallabies’ plans to adopt a similar approach to that which served Queensland so well during their charge to the 2011 Super Rugby title.

Back then, it was Cooper and halfback Will Genia calling the shots for both the Reds and Wallabies and while mixing and matching his backlines in opposed training sessions over the past week Cheika has again teamed the pair up.

“It’s been exciting,” Foley said of the Wallabies’ added focus on tactical kicking.

“You look at the Reds when they won the (Super Rugby) competition back in 2011 how

well they utilised their kicking game. They were very efficient and very smart with it.

“So for us we’re looking at having a balanced game plan where we can challenge defences through our kicks, through our runs and also when our passing game’s on.”

Asked how confident he was of starting at five-eighth for the Bledisloe Cup opener at ANZ Stadium, Foley said: “You can’t be confident of anything at the moment.”

“It’s just been really good to be in camp here and to have one focus. It was quite disappointing the last time we were together.”

Last Friday in Sydney, Cheika ran Matt Giteau as his second playmaker outside Cooper and Genia, coincidentally - or perhaps not - the same trio that enjoyed success against the All Blacks in Hong Kong some six years ago.

With Cheika playing his selection cards close to his chest, the only certainty appears to be the Wallabies’ intent to ditch their all-out running game.

“The game plan (previously) has been steered towards being more attacking with ball in hand. Now we know that that’s not always effective in Testmatch rugby and we have to find ways to win games,” Foley said.

“We see the kicking game as a way to challenge defences differently and maybe just something they don’t expect us to do.

“We’re just looking to have variation in our game. Teams probably were able to just defend our running game and our attacking game pretty easily last time we played.”

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You find some small reason to celebrate, and suddenly you’ve this irresistible party energy around you. Happy people will be attracted to your high vibration.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your great work will not be the result of a flash of inspiration. It will be the culmination of dozens of experiments then hundreds of exercises to hone and tweak them. Try to be patient as you follow your curiosity.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Upon entering a room, it’s natural to assume everyone inside already knows one another. A small amount of boldness is all it will take to make new friends.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There was a time you needed someone. It doesn’t mean that you were using this person (Maybe a little): Anyway, your efforts will mean more now because they are selfless.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Feelings are not facts.

Feelings grab your attention and your mind immediately takes on the work of making sense of it. Don’t overreact!

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Interests are, of course, a natural basis for friendship, but how are you to meet these new friends who share your interests unless you take some initiative and go to the meetup where they are hanging out?

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You like people who are curious like you. You also like resolved people who don’t have to ask so many questions. Today brings a good balance between the two types.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Do not think that if you get this or that out of the way, you’ll finally have peace.

Your peace is impeded by the machinations of your mind, which can also be trained toward tranquillity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Questions of authority arise. Who calls the shots? Whose opinion matters? The obvious answers are wrong. Look deeper. Power can be tricky and secretive.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The very ambition that causes you to want to be at a higher peak might be preventing you from seeing your situation from the better vantage point. The only way is to shake off your desire, fear and ego. Be the moment.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): When you think of the other person as an adversary, the gap seems so wide. Is this person really the enemy? You could be fighting for a shared goal.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Adventures are on your mind though you wonder if all the fun is in the fantasy.

There are pains and inconveniences involved in making this real. Is it worth it? Only you can answer that.

Sport

Compulsory watching By now, you’ve probably heard of Team USA gymnast Simone Biles.

At just 4 feet 8 inches tall, she is the smallest of all 554 American athletes competing in Rio, and the pint-sized powerhouse has captured the hearts of her home country, as well as the rest of the world. The unstoppable teenager’s infectious grin has already become one of America’s favourite images of the 2016 Olympics, and The 4’8” Giant, as she’s been affectionately dubbed, continues to assert her position as one of the most dominating gymnasts the sport has ever seen. On Tuesday night, the 19-year-old from Texas led in bringing home a gold medal in the women’s team final.

Sevens inquiry called Celtic’s Hayley Murphy and Ashburton College’s Ella Hurley vie for possession in last night’s semi-final netball match at the EA Networks Centre stadium.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 110816-TM-0034

Celtic, Methven in final Celtic booked a place in the 2016 ACL Premier Grade Netball final following an impressive victory over last season’s finalists, Ashburton College, last night.

Celtic led 8-3 at quarter-time before a dominant second stanza put the Greens in a commanding 19-8 lead at half-time.

College rallied in the third quarter, matching Celtic 5-5, but Ange Leadley’s side pushed

on for a 32-19 victory in the final 10 minutes. Celtic will meet Methven in next week’s final after the defending champions put a defiant Hampstead to the sword 33-20 in the night’s second semi-final.

Hampstead raced to an 8-4 lead at quarter-time, but, as good champions do, Methven held their composure.

Greta Currie’s side came out firing in the second quarter to

outscore Hampstead by six for a 15-13 lead at half-time.

Methven continued to get the better of their opponents in the third stanza to increase their advantage to 23-17 before turning on the style in the final 10 minutes as Hampstead struggled to keep up with the pace.

Meanwhile, United ended their season on a high with a 33-21 win over Southern.

The two teams were all square

after the opening 10 minutes at 7-7 before United took a razor thin 15-14 lead into half-time.

Anne Gilbert’s ladies kicked on in the third quarter to increase the deficit to 25-18 before putting up another eight in the last 10 minutes to secure fifth place at the end of what’s been an inconsistent campaign.

- Full match reports in tomorrow’s Ashburton Guardian.

Black Caps seal series win over Zimbabwe New Zealand cleaned up Zimbabwe’s lower order after lunch on the final day of the second test yesterday to dismiss the hosts for 132 and seal a 254-run win, clinching the two-match series 2-0.

Zimbabwe lost its final five wickets in the space of 7.4 overs for just two runs, with spinner Ish Sodhi (3-19) and part-timer Martin Guptill (3-11) doing the damage.

New Zealand set Zimbabwe

a victory target of 387 after declaring its second innings on 166-2. Zimbabwe resumed play at 58-3, lost first-innings century-maker Craig Ervine (27) and nightwatchman Donald Tiripano (22) before lunch, and then collapsed in the second session as the wicket started to turn.

Sean Williams (11), Prince Masvaure (11), Peter Moor (1), Graeme Cremer (1) and Michael Chinouya (0) were the last men

Hammers set for Coast clash P18

out – all within 45 minutes of each other.

New Zealand, who won the first test by an innings and 117 runs also at the Queens Sports club in Bulawayo, now move across the border to play South Africa.
