Broker: live sheep exports to go on

BY NADINE PORTER

NADINE.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

INSIDE

Controversy over a large live sheep export to Mexico has done nothing to deter livestock broker Peter Walsh from sending more live shipments in the future – a move supported by Federated Farmers.

After only four hours’ sleep and the departure of the Nada at the Timaru Port, Mr Walsh yesterday found himself in a media storm.

Just under 45,000 breeding ewes and 3000 cattle were contracted from 76 farmers from Nelson to Southland, including 30 per cent from Otago.

Speaking from his office Mr Walsh explained the strict protocols required to protect the animals’ welfare, both at the feedlot and on the boat including pre-conditioning on barley and a specially prepared pellet designed to meet energy requirements.

At every step AsureQuality and Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) were involved, he said.

“They certainly don’t make decisions on a commercial basis. Animal welfare is paramount.”

Mr Walsh refuted claims by Save Animals from Exploitation (SAFE) that sheep would be slaughtered once they arrived in Mexico.

“That’s not an option. These are very high value animals worth in the vicinity of US$300 at the other end so they are not going to eat them.”

He also disagreed with activists who claimed up to 30 per cent of sheep would die in transit and referred to a previous live shipment of 35,000 breeding ewes he sent to Mexico in 2007 that MPI confirmed suffered only 0.1 per cent mortality.

MPI communications advisor Caitlin Owers said the majority of animals

travelled well and arrived in good health. SAFE head of campaigns Mandy Carter claimed sheep would “starve” on the boat because they had not eaten pellets before but Mr Walsh said the sheep spent 2-3 weeks preconditioning on pellet food while on the feedlot. Those sheep that “shied” away from feed were not sent.

By the time of shipment most lambs had actually gained weight to reach 42 to 45kg, he said.

Suggestions the feedlot was inhumane and was a “dustbowl” were incorrect, he said.

“The sheep were contented at the feedlot. Even when it rained they were not upset … it’s hardly a dustbowl when you get 40mm of rain.”

Five things that may interest you

Queen’s granddaughter in NZ The Queen’s granddaughter, Zara Phillips, will visit the University of Auckland this morning to speak with researchers about spinal cord injury. Ms Phillips, a championship-winning horse rider, was visiting the university as a guest of the CatWalk trust, a New Zealand organisation focused on fundraising to support research into spinal cord injuries. Ms Phillips has been a patron of the trust since 2005 and will attend the organisation’s 10 year anniversary party at Sky City tonight.

“It is both a privilege and a pleasure for me to serve as International Patron for The CatWalk Trust,” Ms Phillips said in a quote on the trust’s website.

“The cause of Spinal Cord Injury is one close to my heart ... CatWalk has set itself some ambitious goals - but knowing the dedication of its supporters, I share their confidence that a cure is not far away.”

Natural phenomenon It was white, flakes blew on the wind and it blanketed beaches up and down Greymouth yesterday – and flooded creeks could be partly responsible, or even fungi. Big, frothy seas threw up a huge blanket of foam just after 4pm, about 45 minutes before high tide. Although the waves did not break over the seawall installed last month about the aerodrome, the foam was blown clean over the top.

WeatherWatch said it was “a natural phenomenon created by the agitation of the ocean, particularly when it contains higher concentrations of organic matter like algal blooms or other fungi”. Forecaster Philip Duncan said localised pollution or just local currents could have been a factor. “I think the heavy rain has polluted a waterway or has high levels of nutrients in it from floodwaters. I wouldn’t play in it either way, just in case.”

■ LIVE SHEEP EXPORTS

War of words over shipment

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

A political war of words has erupted after a shipment of live sheep and cattle left Timaru yesterday bound for Mexico.

The Guardian first broke the news in May that 45,000 ewe lambs and 3000 cattle from Canterbury would leave the Timaru port in mid-June bound for Mexico.

The revelation has since sparked a political stoush over accusations of dodgy deals and animal welfare concerns.

However Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy has denied claims that the stock were secretly being sent for slaughter.

Several opposition political parties and animal advocacy group SAFE have raised concerns over animal welfare and an alleged lack of transparency over the reason for the ship-

ment. Exporting livestock for slaughter has been banned in New Zealand since 2003 when 5000 sheep died on a shipment bound for Saudi Arabia.

Mr Guy said the whole point of the shipment was to help rebuild the Mexican flock and it would be uneconomical to import expensive breeding stock for slaughter.

However SAFE chief executive Hans Kriek maintains that the stock bound for Mexico would not be used for breeding.

“Those animals are obviously going to be slaughtered in the country of destination once they stop breeding,” he said.

He also alleged that hundreds of animals would die of starvation on the voyage.

Mr Kriek said the organisation only found out about the shipment on Wednesday and SAFE would have protested at the port had it known about the

shipment earlier.

The Green Party has also raised concerns about the government’s commitment to exporting laws.

Co-leader James Shaw said the National government did not support New Zealand’s laws on live sheep exports and was attempting to circumvent them.

“We feel that the laws really need to be tightened up,” he said.

“The government appears to be dodging the question of enforcement on what happens at the other end.”

Mr Guy said importers have to sign a statutory declaration about the intentions of the shipment before applications were accepted.

“At the end of every voyage, the exporter is also responsible for providing MPI with a written report within 10 working days of completion of the voy-

age,” he said.

“This includes detailed information about the condition of the animals throughout the journey.”

Labour’s Trade spokesman David Parker said New Zealand’s international reputation for humane treatment of animals was very important to the premium price New Zealand farmers get for chilled lamb exports.

“New Zealanders expect the government to openly show how they will guarantee and monitor the health of these 50,000 sheep with only a single vet on board,” he said.

Mr Guy has denied animals will be at serious risk on the trip, saying MPI had a range of checks and balances in place to ensure good animal welfare standards were maintained.

Exports to continue From P1 Deaths at the feedlot were minimal and were lower than what you would expect on a normal New Zealand farm, he said.

While on board the ship one Mexican vet and up to five stockmen will take care of the sheep who will be fed water and pellets ad-lib. The stockmen will monitor the sheep continuously.

“And to prevent against any (heat) stress we cannot ship sheep with more than 25mm of wool.”

The best animal welfare exponents in New Zealand were farmers themselves he said.

“Our farmers have increased their lambing percentages from 120 to 170 per cent. You don’t do that if you’re a bloody goat.

You do that because you’re conscientious, caring and have a strong animal welfare ethic.”

While some farmers have questioned why our genetics are heading overseas Mr Walsh said the shipment was minor when 4000-8000 lambs were sold at the Temuka sale each week.

SAFE was entitled to their opinion but it needed to be balanced, he said.

“They have every right to object but they don’t have a right to get it wrong and influence people the other way.”

Farmers were offered $120 to $130 per head for their lambs – 35 per cent more than current Canterbury prices and up to 55 per cent in other areas.

“It’s positive for farming and we are pleased to be offering the option…we hope it’s ongoing.”

Federated Farmers National President Dr William Rolleston said it was an exciting development as Mexico was an emerging market.

“It’s a fantastic outcome. Of course animal welfare standards must be of the highest quality but we are confident this shipment has been planned very carefully.”

■ MT HUTT

In brief

Strong winds delay opening Eager snow bunnies will have to wait one more day to hit the slopes at Mt Hutt after strong winds delayed the ski area’s opening day.

The skifield was originally expected to open for business today, but forecast strong winds have forced staff to push that back until tomorrow.

Ski area manager James McKenzie said the mountain oper-

ations team had a “high degree of confidence” that wind would affect lift operations if they opened today.

“Saturday is looking much better and we’d rather start the season with everyone enjoying themselves out on the slopes instead of having to shelter in the base lodge,” he said.

“It’s very disappointing for us and our staff as we’re ready and

raring to go, but Mother Nature hasn’t been playing ball.”

Mr McKenzie said the team had been “knocked around” by horrendous weather over the past week. “It’s been warm, wet and then very windy, all of which has had an impact on our natural snow base,” he said.

“On the plus side, we’ve had some fantastic success with snowmaking on the main trails

in the run up to the season.”

He said groomers had been spreading out huge man-made snow piles to create a 30-40cm base on Highway 72, Broadway and the learners’ area.

“Higher up on the mountain, Fascination and Morning Glory are in good shape also but unfortunately most of the snow on the Summit Road has been swept away by wind,” he said.

■ IMPLEMENT SALE

Willing bidders at annual implement sale

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The gallery might have been small, but the bidders were willing at yesterday’s secondhand implement sale.

They came looking for bargains at Ashburton’s annual PGG Wrightson sale and there were plenty on offer. Piles of posts sold for $40, dog kennels for $60 and boxes of sundries dragged from the back of someone’s shed for $10.

There were serious buyers, browsers and blokes who’d turned up for a yarn and to see who else was there.

Deals were done on the fall of the hammer with auctioneer Greg Cook running the sale day like a well-oiled machine. If you weren’t quick, you missed your chance to bag a bargain.

Seafield farmer Les Tindall was left ruing his indecision when he lost out on a pile of fence posts for the sake of another $20 bid. He’d snapped up a stack of posts earlier for $40 and had hoped to snare the second stack for the same price.

And he wasn’t done buying.

“I’ll stick around and see if anything else comes up and I’ve got a few small things to sell so I want to see how they go.”

Greenstreet dairy farmer Norm Stewart had axles on his mind when he headed to the sale. And he found one, holding a decrepit covered trailer together. He spent $40 and left a happy man.

Incidents reported yesterday: - Police attended a car crash on the corner of Cameron Street and Park Street at 10.22pm on Wednesday. One person was taken to hospital for observation.

Iraq mission Prime Minister John Key has ruled out any extension to New Zealand’s training mission to Iraq in duration or numbers, despite the United State increasing its training commitment by another 450. “From New Zealand’s point of view, there is no chance of us having mission creep,” he said. We are there for a two-year period of time. We’ve got 146 people dedicated to that overall mission.

That’s enough.” Most of New Zealand’s troops and support staff deployed to Camp Taji, 15km north of Baghdad, in May and are training Iraqi soldiers to combat Islamic State (Isis).

Kaikoura quake

For some it was an opportunity to bag a bargain but for others the PGG Wrightson implement sale at the Tinwald Saleyards provided a good chance for a catch up.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 110615-TM-032

Anama farmer Craig Cockburn was delighted with his deal, a wire jenny for $60 that he reckons would have cost him about $200 if he’d bought new.

And bargains were needed for most farmers at the moment, Mr Cockburn said.

“People have tightened their pockets,” he said.

The bids might have been small, but they kept coming with Mr Cook urging the overall-clad, number-clutching buy-

ers to make a quick decisions.

“Y’in Wallace?” he asked one farmer. “Y’gonna give me $150?” he asked another.

On the outside it was an annual implement sale day like any other, but the conversations were far from light.

Plunging dairy prices and their impact across the district were the only topic of conversation. There were stories told of neighbours who were looking at debts that ran into mil-

lions of dollars, others said they were fielding calls from dairy farmers who needed winter grazing but who couldn’t afford to pay. Some were simply battening down the hatches knowing they were in for a tough six months.

For a number of buyers, this year’s sale had a new meaning – reusing someone else’s castoffs might be the only way they could afford to do essential onfarm repairs and maintenance.

Woman arrested over vandalism of graves Families of children whose graves were desecrated in an appalling act of vandalism are surprised and relieved an arrest has finally been made.

Charges were laid against a 43-year-old woman yesterday, almost a month after dozens of infant and stillborn babies’ graves were damaged at Papa-

Ms Bates said the person arrested could benefit from being caught.

“They will be able to get the help they need because they’re obviously not right.”

Ms Bates praised police for their efforts.

“The police have done a really good job with what little infor-

■ STOLEN GOODS

Search for owners Ashburton police are seeking to reunite a large quantity of stolen possessions with their rightful owners.

Police seized a number of items, primarily power tools, from an Ashburton address on May 26.

According to a media release issued yesterday, the items are believed to have been stolen over recent months within the wider Ashburton area.

While some items have been returned to their owners, many are still waiting to be claimed.

Sergeant Bryan Ennis said police made every attempt to return property to their rightful owners.

“Unfortunately there are some

occasions where this is not possible as the loss or theft hasn’t been reported to police or the owner hasn’t kept a record of the serial number or identifying features,” he said.

Mr Ennis said tradies relied on their tools in order to do their job so they needed to think about safety and lock their work vehicles when they were unattended.

“Mark your tools so that they can be easily identified and help prevent their sale in the secondhand market,” he said.

Anyone who believes their items may have been stolen should contact the Ashburton Police Station on 307 8400.

Boost for rural mental health welcomed

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

A $500,000 funding boost for rural mental health services has been welcomed by Rural Support Mid Canterbury.

Health Minister Jonathan Coleman and Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy yesterday announced the cash injection which will be used to support mental health initiatives targeted at rural communities.

Mr Guy said the extra funding was to recognise the importance of farmers and their family wellbeing during challenging times.

“This year is a tough one for many with the ongoing drought on the east coast of the South Island and high volatility in commodity prices,” he said.

“Farmers are really good at looking after the land, animals and machinery, but they aren’t traditionally as good at looking after themselves.”

Dr Coleman expected the

programme to focus on the promotion, prevention, and early intervention of rural mental health issues.

Rural Support Mid Canterbury co-ordinator Allan Baird said while the situation was not as bad in Mid Canterbury as it was in other parts of the region, the funding was still a welcome boost to the sector.

“We don’t have any immediate problems here that we know of, but we will be putting some initiatives in place over the next couple of months to just make sure that things are okay,” he said.

One of those initiatives was the creation of a new farmer wellness co-ordinator position to deal with rural mental health issues.

Rural Support trust staff will also be undertaking courses on mental health issues and how to best support farmers.

He urged anyone with any issues to get in touch with Rural Support as soon as possible.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE PRODUCTION

A play to sink your teeth into To walk into the foyer of the Holyoake Auditorium is to travel back in time, to a period where the supernatural and rationality existed side-byside.

Set in the Victorian era, and heavily influenced by all things gothic, Ashburton College’s production of Dracula is an unnerving, exhilarating ride that takes audience members from Transylvania to England.

It immerses the audience in the contest between mortals and the unknown through striking stage design, thematic lighting, and some fine performances.

Count Dracula – played by acting newcomer Brett Puleaga – is a commanding presence; he stalks the stage with a preternatural cool that veils his diabolical designs and makes his frequent eruptions all the more startling.

Beside him the hapless Jonathan Harker, played by Jack Bubb, is the picture of reserved decorum, and this contrast between naïve rationality

and simmering evil is what makes the play really sing.

The students, some of whom had never acted before, have been working on the performance for the past 12 weeks – and it shows. After the resounding ovation following the performance on opening night, head of drama at the school Clair Bubb said, “It took a whole team effort to create something so visually and theatrically stimulating,” and she and director Kylie Maddren were very proud.

With its beautifully choreographed dance sequences and thick Eastern European accents (‘ze’, ‘zat’) the performance is a delight for all the senses.

The stakes are high for Jonathan and his comrades, and the audience sympathises with his plight, but it is the count and the chorus of the undead – with their contacts, corsets, and lust for blood – that really steal the show.

If you want a play you can sink your teeth into, then I recommend Dracula. reviewed by Oli Lewis

■ ASHBURTON ART GALLERY

Strong connection with Ashburton

By Oli lewis Journalism student

Prominent New Zealand artist Philp Trusttum gave a talk at the Ashburton Art Gallery yesterday, joking before he began that a friend had once dismissed his public speaking skills by saying, “you say it better in painting, so just shut up”.

But judging by the reaction of the audience, the art lovers of Ashburton disagree.

The 75-year-old artist has a strong connection with the gallery; the stained glass window which adorns the entrance and was relocated from the old building is his – it was commissioned in 1999 – and Current Affairs, his most recent collection, was one of the first exhibitions to mark its opening.

Current Affairs, which draws on Trusttum’s experiences following the Christchurch earthquakes and the violence they inflicted on his domestic life, runs until June 24.

Art gallery spokeswoman Nicole Bourke said that while the subject matter – which included armed Malaysian police – was challenging, the paintings were “overpowering” and people should see them.

Trusttum fielded questions and offered

insight into the origins of his art, which is heavily inspired by mythology, violence and the tantric tradition.

A number of his works, many involving dismemberment, feature rugby players, with All Blacks rendered in bold,

tribalistic ways that capture the savagery and controlled violence of the game.

During the talk, cooking was a metaphor he kept returning to – dishing out advice, putting marmite with silverbeet – and comparing the relationship between

a painting and its audience with a chef and a diner.

“The cook is only 50 per cent and the eating of the meal is what rounds it out,” he said.

So interpretation is key.

He said it could be the most wonderful painting in the world but if the viewer was in a terrible mood when they saw it, their perspective would be distorted – which is why he never throws pieces out.

Combine that with his love of working and you have the recipe for a prolific output, which shows no signs of stopping.

But it isn’t just the desire to work that keeps him going.

“I enjoy painting and it doesn’t really matter whether it’s good or bad… If it doesn’t stand up, well, I’ve had fun doing it.”

However, reputation isn’t something the spritely artist needs to worry about.

By the end of his talk, local painter Claire Earlie Maxwell was convinced of that, “he’s the McCahon of his generation,” she said.

Graduating with a diploma of fine arts from Canterbury University in 1964, Trusttum has exhibited all over the world and is considered one of New Zealand’s foremost contemporary painters.

Warm welcome for new citizens

By Kate Spence Journalism student

Seventeen new people were welcomed into the district yesterday, as part of the June citizenship ceremony.

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay welcomed the citizens, insisting they personally knock on his door or the door of any Ashburton District councillor, if ever they had any trouble.

Those sworn in came from around the world including the Philippines, Britain, South Africa, Taiwan, Samoa and Chile.

The ceremony included a video from the Ministry of Internal Affairs featuring the Honourable Peter Dunne. The new citizens then swore their allegiance and the ceremony ended with the national anthem.

Each person received a certificate and was presented with a book detailing the history of the Ashburton District.

Yesterday was an exciting day for new citizens Cesar Molina Aquino and Shih-Ying Lin. Mr Aquino, a dairy farmer, was granted citizenship alongside his family. Originally from the Philippines, he began working in Mid Canterbury nine years ago.

His wife, Floresa Obedoza Aquino and their two daughters joined him two years later. The couple’s youngest daughter was born in New Zealand.

The family all wore traditional Filipino outfits to the citizenship ceremony yesterday.

It has been a long wait for retail assistant Shih-Ying Lin, who also received citizenship.

She has been living and working in Ashburton for nearly seven years with her partner.

Mrs Lin said she loved Ashburton because it was “nice and quiet”.

■ CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKE

$127m restoration for Chch Town Hall

By Kurt Bayer Christchurch’s earthquakedamaged Town Hall will be given a $127 million restoration, the city council decided yesterday.

The heritage-listed city centre building, located on the banks of the river Avon in downtown Christchurch, has been closed since suffering damage in the ferocious shaking of the deadly February 22, 2011 tremor.

City councillors yesterday voted 12-1 in favour of fully re-

storing the landmark Sir Miles Warren building.

Restoration work is expected to begin within weeks and is to be completed in June 2018.

Given the council’s $1.2 billion funding shortfall, the decision to restore the Town Hall has not been made lightly, Mayor Lianne Dalziel said.

“While the Town Hall holds a special place in the hearts of so many Christchurch people, it was important that this decision made sense financially,” she said.

“After careful consideration,

this was the most cost-effective way to restore an important civic and performing arts facility to the city and we’re looking forward to construction beginning.”

Most of the building’s damage was caused by liquefaction and lateral spreading of the ground towards the Avon River. It dropped 300mm in some areas and up to 600mm in others.

A number of options for the future of the Town Hall were considered, including partial restoration or building a new

facility. The recommendation to fully restore was based on a business case carried out by Deloittes that identified it was the most financially viable option that would also provide the fit-for-purpose civic, cultural and performing arts facilities a city the size of Christchurch needs.

A total of $127.5m has been budgeted for the restoration.

It will be partially funded by a $68.9m insurance contribution, with ratepayers contributing the balance of $58.6m.

A man has been arrested following reports of women’s underwear being stolen from washing lines.

Police said they have “recovered a number of items of interest” from a house in Christchurch yesterday, following reports of women’s underwear being stolen off washing lines in Elizabeth Street, Matapo Street and Wainui Street in Riccarton. As a result, a 44-year-old man has been charged with two counts of burglary and has been bailed to appear in Christchurch District court next Wednesday.

Tunnel cleaned A drunk man who defecated in Wellington’s Mt Victoria tunnel caused a delay in its opening yesterday. The tunnel was closed overnight for scheduled maintenance at the time, a spokesman for the NZTA said. At about 6am, just as the tunnel was scheduled to open, an “intoxicated man” jumped from the walkway of the tunnel onto the road and did his business, he said. A clean-up crew had to be called to attend to the situation and the incident caused a delay of 45 minutes to opening of the tunnel.

Body found A body has been found on a popular north Auckland Beach.

Police confirmed the body was located by a member of the public on Orewa beach at about 7.30am yesterday. At this stage the death is unexplained and no further details are available, police said Police are investigating.

Health, safety reforms New Zealand’s quarry industry, under fire this week after a digger driver was killed while operating illegally, will become better regulated under proposed health and safety reforms, Prime Minister John Key said yesterday. Health and safety regulator WorkSafe has confirmed that quarry owner Murray Taylor, who was buried under 1500 tonnes of rock on Monday, had not gained the qualification needed to operate his lime quarry in North Canterbury.

WorkSafe also said it did not yet have a full register of quarries or know whether their staff had fulfilled new requirements to upgrade their “certificates of competence”.

Abbott: Terrorism ‘is our greatest challenge’

Killed on border Chinese border guards shot and killed one person who was allegedly trying to illegally cross from North Korea yesterday, authorities said. The incident took place shortly before 4pm after the suspect attempted to evade arrest by border guards, according to a brief statement from the Helong city government in Jilin province.

It said the shooting is under investigation.

Rebels ceasefire Ethnic Kokang rebels fighting against government troops in northeastern Myanmar declared a unilateral ceasefire yesterday.

Rebel spokesman Htun Myat Lin said the Kokang fighters made the declaration in response to an appeal by China for peace along the border region and to ensure that elections expected in Myanmar later this year are peaceful in the area. Clashes between the Kokang rebels and government troops in Myanmar since February have left hundreds dead and forced thousands more people to flee.

Life in prison

A soldier on patrol at a navy facility.

Australia’s prime minister told an Asia-Pacific regional conference yesterday that terrorism was a modern form of treason and the region’s greatest security challenge.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott gave an opening address to delegates from about 30 countries attending a conference in Sydney on countering terrorism propaganda and enhancing re-

gional co-operation.

The work of the conference was to share experiences “so that all of us can learn to be more effective in grappling with the biggest security challenge of our time,” Abbott said.

He said Australia was “looking at what can be done to deal with Australian citizens who have betrayed our country by

fighting with terrorists, this modern form of treason”.

The government plans to introduce laws that would allow dual nationals to be stripped of their Australian citizenship if they were suspected terrorists. Government ministers are divided over whether Australians who are not dual nationals should also lose their citizenship.

“In the end, though, the only really effective defence against terrorism is persuading people that it’s pointless,” Abbott said.

“Above all, we need idealistic young people to appreciate that joining this death cult is an utterly misguided and wrongheaded way to express their desire to sacrifice,” Abbott said, referring to the Islamic State group.

■ SOUTH KOREA

Tenth death reported from MERS virus South Korea reported a 10th death from the MERS virus yesterday, although officials say they believe the disease has peaked.

The victim was a 65-yearold man who had been treated for lung cancer and was hospitalised in the same facility as another MERS patient, the Health Ministry said.

The outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome has caused panic in South Korea.

It has infected more than 120 people since the first case, a 68-year-old man who had travelled to the Middle East, was diagnosed on May 20.

About 3800 people remained isolated yesterday after possible contact with infected people, according to the ministry, and more than 2600 schools and kindergartens across South Korea were closed.

Hospital workers wearing protective gear as a precaution against the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome virus push a suspected MERS patient at Samsung Medical Centre.

PHOTO AP

On Wednesday, experts from the World Health Organisation and South Korea urged the schools’ reopening as the outbreak in the country has so

far been contained to hospitals and there is no evidence of sustained transmission in the community.

South Korean officials believe

the outbreak may have peaked, although they say the next few days will be crucial to determining whether their efforts to isolate patients and control the disease have worked. Three people diagnosed with MERS were released from hospitals yesterday, bringing the total discharged to seven.

President Park Geun-hye postponed her planned US visit scheduled next week to focus on coping with the outbreak.

Most of the deaths so far have been of people who had been suffering from pre-existing medical conditions, such as respiratory problems or cancer.

Experts think MERS can spread in respiratory droplets, such as by coughing. But transmissions have mainly occurred through close contact, such as living with or caring for an infected person.

A court says it has sentenced former Chinese security chief Zhou Yongkang to life in prison on corruption charges following a closed-door trial. Zhou, a former member of the ruling Communist Party’s all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee, is the biggest target to fall in President Xi Jinping’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign. The First Intermediate People’s Court of Tianjin said Zhou was sentenced yesterday. It said he was convicted of receiving bribes, abusing his power and leaking state secrets. It said Zhou accepted the court’s decision and would not file an appeal.

Sect members killed Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria has killed at least 20 Druze after a confrontation in the northwestern Idlib province, where the jihadi group has forced hundreds of members of the minority sect to covert to Sunni Islam, an activist group and a Syrian opposition faction said yesterday. The killings occurred in the Druze village of Qalb Lawzeh in the Jabal alSummaq region, where Nusra Front fighters have dug up historic graves and destroyed shrines in recent months. The main Westernbacked Syrian National Coalition said “dozens of Druze young men” were killed in the shooting.

Greece steps up reform German Chancellor Angela Merkel said yesterday that Greece has committed to work intensively with international creditors in coming days to resolve outstanding issues holding up its access to vital bailout loans. The creditors have made clear that Greece must improve an offer of reforms it would introduce in exchange for 7.2 billion euros ($8.1 billion) in bailout loans it needs to repay debts due at the end of the month.

Merkel said that in overnight talks with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras a clear consensus emerged that “Greece will now work in coming days to try to clear up all the outstanding issues.”

Oscar Pistorius will be released from prison for good behaviour on August 21 and go under house arrest after serving just 10 months for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, South Africa’s department of corrections said.

“He’s behaving himself very well,” Acting National Commissioner of Correctional Services Zach Modise told The Associated Press. “He hasn’t given us any problems.”

Yet three months after he leaves Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria, likely for the comfort of his uncle’s mansion, the double-amputee Olympic athlete will again face the possibility of a murder conviction and could be sent back to jail – this time for a minimum of 15 years.

Pistorius was acquitted of murder and found guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide, or manslaughter, last year for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet door in his home. Prosecutors will again seek a murder conviction at the Supreme Court of Appeal in November, the court announced.

Pistorius’ impending release after serving one-sixth of his five-year jail term for manslaughter is in line with South

African law. But it was sharply criticised by family members of Steenkamp, the 29-year-old model and reality TV star shot multiple times by Pistorius in the pre-dawn hours of February 14, 2013.

“Incarceration of 10 months for taking a life is simply not enough,” Steenkamp’s family said in a written statement to the parole board that met last week and approved Pistorius’ release under correctional supervision, or house arrest.

Steenkamp’s family members were invited to attend Pistorius’ parole hearing but did not. Instead, they sent the written submission, Steenkamp family lawyer Tania Koen said.

“We have forgiven Mr Pistorius even though he took the life of our precious daughter, Reeva,” the family wrote in its submission. “We do not seek to avenge her death and we do not want Mr Pistorius to suffer; that will not bring her back to us. However a person found guilty of a crime must be held accountable for their actions.”

Modise, the Correctional Services head, noted that Pistorius could still be denied release if his good behaviour does not continue in jail.

OUR VIEW

Too late to make a difference Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

here is little to cheer in criticising the inevitable after squandering the chance to make a difference.

The passage of time makes it hard to sympathise with the activists and politicians belatedly critical of the large live sheep and cattle export that will leave Canterbury for Mexico.

The Ashburton Guardian broke news of the shipment of 50,000 ewe lambs and 3000 cattle on May 27, a fortnight before the ship arrived in New Zealand this week.

The news took many in the wider farming industry by surprise but there was plenty of sympathy for other farmers who needed options in the wake of the recent drought.

But where response from farmers was muted there was ne’er a whisper of concern from usually vocal groups that might otherwise be expected to criticise the shipment.

Save Animals From Exploitation and the Greens were slow to challenge the plan. Instead, on the back-foot, their voices grew – with the shock and surprise – as the ship docked at Port Timaru.

By then, the most ardent of activists had something to shake their fists at. The big boat was an in-the-face symbol of a new problem to vex the handwringing chatterers in Auckland cafes.

It was a boon for public relations but the ship’s arrival marked the very end of the time activists and politicians had to stop the very thing they did not want to happen from happening.

Two weeks in which they could have challenged the exporter’s application or in which they could have urged the Primary Industries Minister to intervene were squandered.

Gone was a fortnight in which there could have been a concerted campaign to galvanise supporters or shame politicians, to only now lament what the passage of time made inevitable.

They will be pleased people that are again talking about live exports and that there might be a new push to pressure the government to further regulate it or ban the trade entirely.

But they must also be aware of the cost of their inaction.

apan is looking into installing toilets … in lifts.

Some “Big Wigs” from the country’s infrastructure ministry have proposed that temporary facilities plus emergency drinking water become a requirement in the aftermath of their recent 7.8-magnitude undersea earthquake, which was felt across the country.

In Tokyo alone, almost 20,000 lifts stopped after the quake, with 14 of them trapped between floors. In one case, passengers were stuck for over an hour before being rescued.

During Japan’s devastating 2011 quake, some people were trapped in elevators for more than nine hours.

Japan is regularly shaken by minor earthquakes, but seismologists say it’s likely the capital will be hit by the ‘big one’ within the coming decades.

I think the idea has merit but instead of emergency water, if I was stuck in a lift I think I’d rather a fully stocked bar!

What’s being dubbed the ‘Female Viagra’ may soon get marketing approval.

A panel of experts is supporting the use of the drug flibanserin to treat low sexual desire in women.

During testing, women taking the drug have reported between 0.5 and 1 more sexually satisfying events per month, which researchers admit are very modest results but significant to those who have a clinical problem.

The researchers also suggest that the drug carry warnings about possible strong side effects including fainting and tiredness.

The final decision now moves to the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which has previously rejected the drug twice since 2010.

Here’s my thoughts on this…

How exactly does one have a 0.5 sexually satisfying event?

Is it really worth it for one “roll in the hay” a month?

If they stop describing them as “events” will the results differ?

Isn’t tiredness an issue in the first place?

I see the “Out of Control” Texas police officer Eric Casebolt has resigned from the force after pinning a teenage girl to the ground and pulling a gun on other teens who tried to help the girl.

I watched the incident on the telly absolutely gobsmacked. I initially thought, what the hell is going in America at the moment? But then I couldn’t help wondering if this is more the norm than we know about and it’s just the increase in technology responsible for capturing it.

■ OFFICIAL CASH RATE

Banks quick to slash rates The Reserve Bank’s decision to lower the Official Cash Rate has been heralded as a positive move for house buyers outside of Auckland, but has sparked fears it could further inflame an already overheated property market in New Zealand’s largest city.

Several banks, including ANZ, ASB, Kiwibank and Co-operative Bank, immediately dropped mortgage rates yesterday in reaction to the OCR being slashed to 3.25 per cent.

Other major banks were expected to follow suit but Westpac and BNZ said they would not move.

Fred Ohlsson, managing director retail and business banking at ANZ, which lowered floating and flexible home loans interest rates by 0.25 per cent per annum – to 6.49 per cent for ANZ Floating Rate Home Loans, and 6.60 per cent for

Graeme Wheeler

Flexible Home Loans – said the new rates would be welcomed by home buyers, particularly first home buyers.

sumers, who he’d been telling to hold off from committing until today’s announcement.

The move could signal a major shift in New Zealand’s interest rate market, which over the last decade, has averaged just over 7 per cent, he said.

“Our new rate regime will now stay within that 5-6 per cent range and I don’t think we’ll see any upward shift any time soon,” said Mr Patten.

Although he accepted there was a risk it could further fuel the booming Auckland market, other property markets that had just been “plodding along”, will be bolstered by the move.

Prime Minister John Key disagreed that the Reserve Bank’s rate cut would worsen the housing problem.

Encouraging supply was “the single biggest thing we can do”, he said.

Property Institute chief ex-

ecutive Ashley Church said the OCR news sent a “mostly positive” message to the market.

He said it will encourage sustained economic activity, help lower the exchange rate, give struggling households more money, assist developers build more homes and offset the cost of owning a home – particularly in Auckland.

Federated Farmers called the OCR cut “a decisive message” from the Reserve Bank, which will take pressure off the dollar and help farmers currently experiencing low prices.

“Farmers cash flow is tight at the moment, whether it is due to the dairy payout or the drought, so any reduction in the Official Cash Rate that will reduce the interest farmers are paying on their bank loans will be incredibly helpful during this difficult period,” said president Dr William Rolleston.

■ OPINION

Compiled by

Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler defended the decision amid concerns it could worsen the unaffordability of house prices in Auckland.

Appearing before a select committee yesterday, Mr Wheeler said officials had “thought a lot about the Auckland house price situation” because of the expected impact on mortgage rates.

He said officials were concerned about house price inflation of 17 per cent in the city and a house price-to-income ratio of 7.5.

But he said these problems were mostly limited to Auckland, and the bank had already introduced measures to combat this.

“It’s very much an Auckland issue,” he said.

Loan Market mortgage adviser Bruce Patten said the OCR cut was a positive sign for con-

Economic data wreaks havoc

E

conomic data wreaked havoc on equity and bond markets during the week, resulting in significant volatility.

US markets are now just in positive territory.

Funnily enough it’s been strong economic data that has been sending the US markets into correction territory as investors start to anticipate the Fed’s first rate hike since rates bottomed six years ago. In China it’s the complete opposite.

Poor economic data is sending markets higher as investors feel assured that the Bank of China will continue its stimulus measures. In Europe, the Greece saga rages on and a potential compromise on a loan deal may be close. In New Zealand all eyes were on the Reserve Bank’s decision on whether to cut rates in an effort to combat the high NZ dollar.

There was little economic data out during the week in the US. This gave investors time to digest the implications of last week’s strong employment data.

Payrolls climbed in May by the most in five months and worker pay accelerated, showing companies were upbeat about the US economy’s prospects after an early-year slump. Expectations have increased that the Federal Reserve will begin raising rates in September from near zero levels. According to Reuters, expectations are for the short term rates to rise from 0.25 per cent to 0.625 per cent by the

Keith up for NZ mission

Tim Perry returns for Crusaders in 2016

By Jonathan Leask

The Crusaders have re-signed a number of players who were set to come off contract at the end of this season, including All Black Ryan Crotty.

Crotty, a versatile midfielder, has signed until the end of 2017, which follows the retention of All Black prop Wyatt Crockett that was announced earlier this week.

Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder said both players would play an important role in next year’s side as two of the senior members of the squad.

Joining Crockett and the already-contracted Owen Franks at prop again next season will be Tim Perry. Perry has had a frustrating season on the sidelines after sustaining an injury in the 2014 ITM Cup semifinal, however Blackadder said he would Tim Perry be ready to make an impact in 2016.

Codie Taylor, who has impressed at hooker this year, will also return in 2016, as will young lock Scott Barrett who was catapulted into the starting line-up at just 21 where he held his own alongside All Black locks Sam Whitelock and Luke Romano this season.

Experienced halfback Andy Ellis and youngster Mitchell Drummond will continue to compete for the No 9 jersey next year.

Dynamic outside back Robbie Fruean will return in 2016; Fruean had his season cut short by a fractured arm sustained in the third round, but made an impressive return from injury to assist in recent wins over the Hurricanes and Blues.

The Crusaders have also announced that three players in this year’s wider training group will be promoted to the full squad next year _ utility back David Havili, five-eighth/fullback Richie Mo’unga and loose forward Jed Brown.

Blackadder said Havili had been one of the most impressive players for the Crusaders this season, while Mo’unga is bound to have the opportunity to make his mark in 2016 with experienced first-fives Dan Carter, Colin Slade, Tom Taylor and Tyler Bleyendaal all playing offshore.

Sandra Keith will take on Australia’s best for the second time this year - this time on their soil.

After enjoying a few weeks off from the greens, Keith is on the Gold Coast for the Australia Open which starts tomorrow.

Keith was recalled to the Black Jacks earlier this year and helped the Black Jacks’ women win the Trans-Tasman Challenge against Australia in Christchurch.

This time she takes on the Aussies on their home soil. Keith will play singles, combine with long-time teammate Serena Matthews in pairs and then add Lois Grey and Tayla Bruce for the fours.

Keith has had a few weeks off since completing another strong New Zealand Summer - getting back in the national squad and collecting two national titles - the national Intercentre title with the Canterbury and the national women’s club singles - for her Silver Star as her fifth national title.

The singles title qualified her to represent New Zealand at the Asia Pacific Merdeka Championships in Malaysia later this year where she could add another international honour.

When she won the New Zealand Singles title in 2011 Keith went on to win the World Champion of Champion Singles title in Cyprus.

Mid Canterbury’s Sandra Keith lines up for the Black Jacks again this weekend.

In-form Markham aiming for finals’ glory Ashburton indoor bowler Matt Markham has continued his good form of the past few days at the national championships in Timaru.

Third equal in the pairs with Alex Crawford on Tuesday, Markham matched that effort yesterday in the triples.

Playing with his brother Jeremy, and James Sullivan, who both play for Canterbury, the trio beat off some top opposition on the way to the semifinal before missing out on a finals berth by the barest of margins against the defending

champions, Grant Rayner, Paul Psaila and Teri Anderson.

Locked together at 10-all heading into the last end, Sullivan had a chance to win the match but his bowl just slid past its desired resting point to give the North Island side the victory 11-10.

The Rayner skipped side went on to beat Robin Porter, Frank McKenna and Jacque Porter 12-4 in the final.

Geoff Laird, who has also had a great week at the championships, kept his top 16 record in each discipline intact.

Playing with his wife Bernice, and Gaylene Smith, the trio won their first match of the day but were then beaten in the final 16.

Also reaching that point from Ashburton were Mark Sheard, Maurice Berkeley and John Gibbs where they were beaten by the eventual runners up.

Barry, Graeme and Neill Chapman were knocked out in the first match of the day.

Today the focus will shift towards the fours championship with nine sides featuring Ash-

burton players.

Markham will be looking to go one better when he teams up with Matt Bassett, John Cuthbertson and Neill Chapman while other strong combinations featuring Ashburton players include Grant and Fiona Wilson with Graeme Chapman and Murray Bassett, Geoff and Bernice Laird with Maurice Sunbeam and Gaylene Smith, Ashley Diamond, Michael Lawson, Stephen Preddy and Alex Crawford and the Mackenzie family of Ken, Rowena, Laura and Tayler.

Brumbies resist urge to start Toomua The Brumbies have resisted the urge to start Matt Toomua in tomorrow’s clash with the Crusaders, even though a top-two Super Rugby finish is on the line.

Coach Stephen Larkham has instead decided to ease the Wallabies playmaker back via the bench after he spent weeks on the sideline recovering from

two separate ankle injuries.

Christian Lealiifano will remain at five-eighth and Robbie Coleman at No.12 in a starting line-up unchanged from last Friday’s win over the Western Force.

Larkham said he’d been considering Toomua to start but didn’t want to take the risk given his “chequered run” with

injuries and has named him in the reserves.

He’s only managed to play 24 minutes over the past seven matches - against the Lions in Johannesburg - before succumbing to a syndesmosis strain.

“We were certainly considering Matty to start and see how long he could push for in the

game,” Larkham said.

“He had a bit of awareness on Tuesday so that sort of made the decision.

“If he was fine on Tuesday, it would’ve been a difficult decision because Robbie has been playing really well.”

Larkham wants Toomua to play at least half an hour at either No.10 or 12.

■ NETBALL

In brief

United keep youngsters contained

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

United claimed their first win in the second round of premier netball last night, with a 36-14 victory over Ashburton College B. In the other premier matches, Methven’s unbeaten streak continued with a 29-19 win over Hampstead and Challenge Trophy holders College A defeated former premier netball champions Celtic A 29-11.

The early game started off in United’s favour as they managed to net the first five goals of the match in quick succession. College B came to the party halfway through the quarter and capitalised on turnovers, but didn’t manage to get ahead of United, the quarter ending 7-4.

As the second quarter whistle blew, United intercepted a pass from College, but a fatal step cost them the turnover.

College tried to make a comeback but weren’t a match for United in the shooting circle, only scoring three goals to United’s eight, the scoreboard read 15-7 heading into half time.

The third quarter was one teeming with turnovers and great goals.

United netted two goals within the first minute, and another mere seconds later.

College B worked hard in the midcourt but couldn’t seem to get a handle on the game and the third quarter ended with College down by 18, the score 28-10.

The speed of the game picked up in the last quarter of the match, both teams passing to space and not letting up.

United lost valuable ball to wily passes and steps, College doing their best to capitalise on their rivals errors.

However, United were on form in the shooting circle, netting goal after goal.

Time was called with five minutes left on the clock but United didn’t let up and by the time the final whistle blew, they were up 22 points.

United’s coach Anne Gilbert said while her team were victorious, they still had a lot to work on.

“The fourth quarter, I wasn’t so pleased with that, I feel we let off,” she said.

While she was aware of her team’s errors, Gilbert said there were definitely patches of the game that she was very pleased with - particularly on defence which she dubbed “superb”.

Local hockey All four Mid Canterbury teams are on turf in Timaru in the Mid-South Canterbury hockey competition tomorrow. For the first time this season Hampstead play an away game. They are unbeaten with four wins and two draws - including last weekend’s 1-1 draw with an improving Hampstead-Collegians.

Their first away game is against title rivals Cambridge - made up from the former perennial champions St Andrew’s - and a side they also drew 1-1 in the first round. Hampstead-Collegians are on a hot streak with two wins and a draw from the last three weeksand will be hoping to keep it going against Geraldine- the side they started the streak against. Coming off their second loss of the season defending men’s champions Wakanui Black will battle unbeaten Tainui who will be out to extend their lead at the top of the table.

Wakanui Blue- who stunned black 2-1 last weekend - come up against Timaru Boys.

Crowley banned Not only does Ryan Crowley’s suspension for testing positive to methadone look likely to end his AFL career, it has also likely cost the Fremantle tagger hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process.

Crowley was suspended for 12 months, backdated to the provisional ban from September 25 last year, after testing positive to a painkiller containing methadone.

He claimed to have ingested the banned substance through a painkiller he sourced from outside the club. It makes him unavailable until week three of the finals - if Fremantle happen to be there.

Dogs without Graham

In last night’s Senior A games, Rakaia A maintained their unbeaten streak, scoring a 33-25 win over College Y9A. Methven B were defeated once again, this time by Celtic B, the score 31-17 and Collegiate A secured a 39-19 win against Hampstead B.

Uzbekistan oust Austria from U20 World Cup A second-half double from Dostonbek Khamdamov has stunned Austria and seen Uzbekistan advance into the quarter-finals of the Under-20 World Cup. The Central Asians qualified for the second stage only after beating Fiji in their final group game, but they belied that underwhelming preparation with a professional display against the unbeaten Austrians.

Uzbekistan controlled much of the flow of play in Whangarei and, although they were unable to forge as many opportunities as their opponents, they

Ashburton Guardian 19

were far more clinical when they earned a sight of goal.

They were also the beneficiaries of some rather generous defence, with both goals perhaps preventable.

The first arrived a couple of minutes into the second spell, when Khamdamov took advantage of an acre of space in the centre of the Austrian backline to latch onto a well-weighted ball over the top and finish calmly past goalkeeper Tino Casali.

And the striker doubled his side’s lead 10 minutes later when, after Austria failed to

deal with a loose ball in the box, Rustamjon Ashurmatov’s shot cannoned off the post and into Khamdamov’s path.

Uzbekistan will now tackle Senegal in the quarter-finals and ensure at least one unfancied nation will be among the big guns in the final four.

Meanwhile, US goalkeeper Zackary Steffen saved a late penalty to help his side through to the quarter-finals following their 1-0 win over Colombia in Wellington.

After American defender Kellyn Perry-Acosta was given a red card for a second book-

ing, Colombia’s Jarlan Barrera stepped up to take the spot kick.

But Steffen saved it expertly in the 83rd minute and his side held on with only 10 men to confirm a Sunday quarter-final against Serbia in Albany.

Germany also moved through to the quarterfinals after a hardfought 1-0 round of 16 victory over Nigeria last night.

Germany, who have played all four of their matches at the tournament in Christchurch, will remain in the city for a last-eight clash with Mali on Sunday afternoon.

While their record without James Graham is unenviable, Canterbury say their NRL season will not fall in a heap without their skipper.

Graham is expected to miss the next month after suffering a hamstring strain in his side’s 29-16 win against St George Illawarra on Monday night. As well as being yet another setback for the Englishman in a frustrating year marred by injury and suspension, it is ill-timed for the Bulldogs after they got their season back on track against the Dragons at ANZ Stadium. Graham is seen as the linchpin of the Bulldogs side and statistics tell a tale.

- AAP

Inglis says no The thought of playing at the MCG may excite Greg Inglis but the NRL superstar has ruled out an AFL career despite almost being signed by Essendon. However, it remains to be seen if Inglis remains in rugby league after again leaving the door open for a code switch when his South Sydney contract ends in 2017. Former Melbourne Storm star Inglis could not hide his affection for AFL on Thursday ahead of State of Origin’s game two clash at the MCG on June 17.

But the Queensland strike weapon admitted he had no regrets with knocking back a Bombers offer in 2010. “I love AFL. I sit back and watch it and admire their athletes,” he said. “But I knew my decision back then was the right one, to stick with rugby league.”

Injury load eases for cautious Chiefs

BY KRIS SHANNON The Chiefs’ injury load is easing at the right time but they will still be without a pair of frontline forwards for tomorrow’s showdown with the Hurricanes.

Resting Sam Cane and Hika Elliot reflects the balancing act the Chiefs are facing in New Plymouth. On one hand, five points could lock up fourth spot and a home quarter-final but, on the other, an eye must also be cast towards that knockout match.

Cane’s absence was always an-

ticipated at the tail-end of a season in which he has missed only one game, with the All Blacks’ rest requirements robbing the Chiefs of the player who recorded a clean sweep of the main prizes at the team’s awards evening earlier in the week.

Dave Rennie had already indicated his plan for that eventuality and Michael Leitch, having played plenty of flanker in Japan, will move to the side of the scrum to fill Cane’s sizeable boots.

But Elliot, another who has started 14 of his side’s 15 fix-

tures this season, was expected to play and celebrate his 100th Super Rugby match against the franchise for whom he made his debut in 2008. The hooker, however, has been carrying a couple of niggles and will receive a reprieve from his heavy workload, with Quentin MacDonald starting in the No2 jersey.

Assistant coach Andrew Strawbridge insisted the move was merely about allowing Elliot an opportunity to put up the feet, as opposed to a reaction to the Chiefs’ wayward set piece last weekend. Elliot was

portunity, but we’ve taken the chance to put Pauliasi and Ben back into the starting lineup.

“It was an off night and we’ll move on.”

The other changes for the Chiefs are about reintroducing players typically found in a firstchoice XV, a luxury the coaching staff has not enjoyed of late.

In brief

U16s capitalise on lifeline to final

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

After initially being left out of the semi-finals, the Celtic under 16s have a shot at the combined title tomorrow.

Celtic take on Rolleston in the final but they were almost knocked out of the playoffs by mistake.

A clerical error had mistakenly taken four points off Celtic to have them initially finish behind Prebbleton in third place section one.

But with the points restored and Celtic jumping into second, they headed to their semi-final in Tai Tapu where they took down a previously unbeaten Waihora 19-15.

Celtic had been down 15-7 with four minutes to play but assistant coach Neville Prendergast said the side dug deep to score two “brilliant team tries” to snatch the win.

“It was really pleasing to see them dig in like that,” Prendergast said.

“We are not the biggest team but they are full of fight.”

Celtic now head to Rolleston for the final tomorrow after Rolleston saw off Saracens 3220.

The two sides met in pool play just a fortnight ago at the end of the round robin - where Rolleston ran out 34-15 winners at home.

“We played well but made

Still seeking win Ashburton College are desperately seeking another win in the UC Rugby Championship. Hampered by injuries, the squad’s depth has been tested but with only one win from seven rounds College need to collect a second when they host the winless Lincoln. Coming off close losses to Rangiora and Timaru another loss will severely dent their chances of making a run at the top eight. During the week the Ashburton College Girls’ 1st XV had a big 49-22 win over Roncalli in the Aoraki girls rugby competition in Timaru. The 27-point win followed up their previous 66–5 win over Timaru Girl’s a fortnight earlier. College take on Waitaki Girls at Celtic next weekend- the side that handed the defending champions an opening round loss.

some crucial mistakes around set phases, so we are confident we can win.

“It was close until the last 10 minutes when we let in two soft tries.”

Rolleston have only conceded 79 points from their seven

games and scored 309 at an average of 44 points per game.

Celtic will have to tighten up on defence but they too are capable of putting points on the board - an average 36 points a game - demonstrated in their two late tries against a stingy

Waihora defence that had only conceded 24 points heading into the semi-final.

Prendergast hopes they don’t leave it as late as last week . . . but if it’s a win, he’ll probably deal with the potential heart failure.

Bonecrusher had special magic beyond track

By Chris rattue Great New Zealand jockey Noel Harris has compared Bonecrusher to the one and only Phar Lap. And the man who rode the mighty Bonecrusher in all but one of his 18 victories – Gary Stewart – has paid tribute to the horse which changed his life.

Bonecrusher, the $3000 buy who went on to win a string of major races such as the Cox Plate, has died at 33. His passing has rekindled memories of when horse racing held a central part in New Zealand life, and produced thoroughbred stars like Bonecrusher, Sunline and Kiwi and harness racing legends such as Cardigan Bay. “It really was rugby, racing and beer back then,” Harris recalled. “Our best horses go overseas now.”

The 60-year-old Harris, who rode more than 2000 winners in a famously long career, said Bonecrusher – the champion horse of the 1980s – had a magical connection with the public that went much wider than the racing community. Harris rates the Australian star Kingston Town as the finest horse he has seen, with Bonecrusher next. But Bonecrusher – known as Big Red – had a special magic beyond the track.

“People who didn’t follow racing still knew about Bonecrusher,” Harris said.

Bonecrusher and his former strapper Shaune Ritchie.

“He would come from impossible positions to win races...you would have him written off and he would come home with those powerful finishes.

“They said that Phar Lap had a heart twice the size of normal horses and I think Bonecrusher was probably the same. He just caught the imagination of the public.

“And people here loved him because he went over and beat the Aussies...he made the Aussies look second class. I think he was New Zealand’s answer to Phar Lap, who was also known as Big Red.” The New Zealand-born Phar Lap dominated Australian racing and captured the

public’s heart during the 1930s, becoming the most famous horse in Australasian racing history.

Harris said beating Bonecrusher were highlights of his career. Harris managed the feat twice.

“To have that on your CV was plus plus,” he said.

“I never talked to Gary about riding Bonecrusher but I didn’t have to. You just had to look at how big and strong he was to sense what it would be like. I would love to have hopped on board him...a lot of jockeys got close but only to his backside.”

The 52-year-old Stewart, who has lived in Queensland for the past five years, was on board for 17 of Bonecrusher’s 18 victories, his only miss being due to suspension when Jim Cassidy took the reins.

Stewart said: “Even now, people say ‘You were Bonecrusher’s rider’ and I’m so flattered to be known as that.

“To be involved with a horse of his calibre is something very special and doesn’t happen to many jockeys.”

“He had such a great constitution which is why he lived to a ripe old age. I’ve been told his mind was still sharp but the body couldn’t sustain any longer. He was one in a million, that’s for sure. After he retired, I rode another 1000 horses before I realised how super special he was.”

Prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi has re-signed with the Blues for a further two years. The 23-year-old, who has played in every game this season, joins All Blacks forwards Jerome Kaino, Charlie Faumuina, James Parsons, Patrick Tuipulotu and Stephen Luatua and New Zealand Under-20s players Akira Ioane and Blake Gibson in re-committing to the franchise.

Bailey back for BBL Australian allrounder George Bailey has signed for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League for another two years. Bailey’s signing adds to an already exciting lineup for the 2015/16 season featuring star Sri Lankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara. “There is a fantastic vibe that surrounds the KFC T20 Big Bash League and I absolutely love putting on the Hurricanes shirt and playing in front of a packed home crowd,” Bailey said from Europe where he is holidaying after captaining the Kings XI Punjab in the recent IPL. The Hurricanes line-up will also include the return of former West Indian captain Darren Sammy.

Hurricanes lineup so far: Tim Paine, Ben Dunk, Cameron Boyce, Jake Reed, Shaun Tait, Darren Sammy, Kumar Sangakkara, Dan Christian, Simon Milenko, Jon Wells, Sam Rainbird, Beau Webster.

Armstrong risks ruin Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong admits that he will risk financial ruin when his $US100 million ($129.46 million) whistleblower lawsuit goes before a jury in the United States later this year. The latest of the American’s many legal problems has seen his former US Postal Service team-mate Floyd Landis, the man whose evidence helped to expose Armstrong’s doping offences, bring a case to court for damages. Due to the team being sponsored by the American post office, the US federal government has joined Landis in claiming $100 million, one third of which would be awarded to Landis himself for originally bringing the suit.

Armstrong, who revealed he has sought counselling following his public doping confession, is confident of victory in the legal battle, but the fallen seven-time Tour de France winner concedes that he is worried.

■ RUGBY

The final scenes from last time Waihora were in Methven; the visitors, wearing the alternate red strip, ran out 14-18 winners over Methven.

Methven bank on big men to rule

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Methven have been to the Combined Country Cup rugby final twice before.

Both times they were tamed by dominant forward packs.

They were ground down by Glenmark at home 3-19 in 2010 before travelling to Lincoln the following year where they were blown away upfront in an 8-41 capitulation.

Glenmark and Lincoln both taught Methven a lesson in finals footy - taking to them upfront.

“They weren’t all that flashy but knew how to win the big

game,” Methven coach Dale Palmer said. “In 2010 we were a bit surprised just to even make the final and were undone by an experienced Glenmark. Then the next year we were dominated by Lincoln.

“With six front rowers we are in a position we haven’t been in.

The last few years it wasn’t a lack of ability or heart – it was just depth.”

Back in the big game Methven boast a pack capable of such dominance. They have laid down the platform upfront in both their playoff wins to date - a formula they plan to repeat.

However, Waihora have the

psychological advantage, winning in Methven just three weeks ago, 18-14.

They too have lost a final - going down to Lincoln at home in last year’s showpiece a week after ousting Methven the semifinals.

With much more at stake Methven lean heavily on their experience-laden forward pack which has benefited from the addition of a new recruit - former New Zealand under 19 and 21 representative Henry Johnstone, and the converted prop has been impressive at the back of the scrum adding further depth and experience.

Their back department remains bare. They carried a 6-1 forward-back split in last week’s win over BDI and they will likely be without Richard Catherwood while Andy Hamilton is only a chance at a return two weeks after a nail through the foot.

“We have a few injuries and a few guys will play through, but compared to other years we have good numbers.”

For Methven’s inside back combination of Chris Lock and Davey Maw it will be their third final - with the club centurions hoping it is third time the charm.

Prop James McLeod, hooker Stephen Blackwell and lock Sam

Grant are also set to feature in their third final.

Utility back Dan Maw was injured for the 2010 final.

The wealth of big game experience will hopefully pay dividends as Methven look to be the first Mid Canterbury champions since North Canterbury came into the competition in 2007.

Elsewhere in the final week of the combined competition, Southern are in Omihi against Glenmark for fifth place while Celtic are in Lincoln for seventh.

In the trophy section Rakaia are away to Lincoln while Hampstead are at home to Prebbleton in the plate.

McNicol relishing Super Rugby opportunity

By DanieL RichaRDson Super Rugby seemed a long way off for Sam McNicol when he was in hospital in October after having his hips operated on.

The recovery time was four months without running and another two before he could contemplate lacing up a boot.

Last year was designed to be a breakout one for him. The former New Zealand schools fullback had arrived in Wellington from Napier Boys’ High School to take up a provincial contract with the Lions.

But his hips bothered him during the club season and despite playing a couple of games for the Hurricanes development side, he was encouraged to have the corrective surgery in both hips, a similar procedure that Hurricanes utility James Marshall has also gone through.

The operation involves work on the femur and the acetabulum, which is part of the hip joint. It meant he missed out on trials for the New Zealand Under-20s squad who are playing at the ongoing world championship event in Italy. He also had to skip the ITM Cup. “It was a relief as well though,” McNicol said of the operation. “Because I knew I’d be playing comfortable rugby again.

Because last year, every time I went in to contact, it was just uncomfortable. I knew there was a long road ahead but I was always prepared for that.”

Injuries in the outside back division of the Hurricanes this season saw the 19-year-old awarded a wider training group contract in April.

He had to put his sport and exercise studies on hold at Massey University and trade them in for a playbook, running alongside the likes of Ma’a Nonu and

Sam McNicol with ball in hand.

Conrad Smith at training.

McNicol waited patiently, continuing his strong form at club level, and further ailments in the squad mean he could make his Super Rugby debut via the bench to-

morrow when the Hurricanes meet the Chiefs in New Plymouth.

“It worked out alright in the end,” he said. “So obviously I’m pretty stoked to get an opportunity this weekend. Hopefully I can get out on the pitch and try and make a mark.”

There’s plenty of pace in his legs and he clocked 11.3s over 100m as a schoolboy. Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd, who was one of the people that encouraged McNicol to go under the knife last year, said he had plenty of potential.

“He’s got lots of upside, got a big left foot and can play at wing or fullback, so his time will come,” Boyd said.

McNicol’s body is cooperating with him again and he’s a player to keep an eye on when the ITM Cup gets under way later this year as Wellington look to restore some pride following last season’s dismal campaign.

■ NHL STANLEY CUP

Chicago levels series Chicago’s Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad scored while goaltender Corey Crawford withstood a furious Tampa Bay barrage in the closing minute as the Blackhawks beat the Lightning 2-1 yesterday to tie the NHL’s Stanley Cup Final at 2-2.

Toews scored his first goal of the series in the opening period.

Saad broke a 1-1 tie with 13:38 to play in the third.

Saad drove to the net but had the puck poked away. When he somehow found it again, Saad gave it a desperate backhand whack that just happened to send it right between the moving pads of young Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy.

“I was really pretty lucky,” Saad said. “I just saw space going to the net. Tried to drive and create some chaos. Just try to get some wood on it and get to the net, and it found a way in.”

Saad was right to refuse full credit for his tiebreaking goal.

He knows that a few fortunate bounces have been the only differences in four games between two teams that seem determined to take this championship series down to a fantastic finish.

His latest clutch goal was the offensive highlight of a gritty, defense-dominated night at the United Center. Corey Crawford and Russia’s Vasilevskiy, the Lightning’s surprise starter in goal, both had stellar moments.

In the final minute, Crawford capped his 24 saves with a frantic last stand. Lightning captain Steven Stamkos had two golden chances to force overtime, but the Blackhawks survived.

Game 5 is Saturday in Tampa.

The series is now effectively a best-of-three, with Chicago need-

ing at least one more win at Amalie Arena to secure its third Stanley Cup banner in six seasons.

Tampa Bay has home-ice advantage, but a fraction of the Blackhawks’ big-game credentials.

This is the first Stanley Cup series since 1968 in which each of the first four games was decided by a single goal.

“No matter what the situation

is, whether we’re down in a series or a hockey game, we tend to play our best when our backs are against the wall,” Chicago’s Patrick Kane said. “Not saying we had our best effort tonight, but we still found a way to win.”

Alex Killorn scored in the second period for the Lightning, whose four-game road winning streak ended.

■ NBA BASKETBALL

Special treatment for stars They are Cleveland’s unlikely dynamic duo or odd couple: LeBron James and Matthew Dellavedova.

In Cleveland they are also royalty.

James, after his sidekick Delly’s heroic, perhaps legendary, game three performance in the NBA Finals says if Australia wants to bestow a knighthood on the point guard he will support it.

“Whatever that guy wants or needs, I’m all for it,” James laughed.

Dellavedova was extraordinary in Cleveland’s 96-91 victory on Wednesday over the Golden State Warriors to take a 2-1 series lead and move just two wins from claiming the championship.

Hit by exhaustion, dehydration and severe cramping, the team’s medical staff checked him into a Cleveland hospital so fluids could be pumped intravenously.

The Cavaliers had already lost NBA All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love earlier in the playoffs and on Wednesday there were fears shooting guard/for-

ward Iman Shumpert could be lost when he was forced into the locker-room midgame with a shoulder injury.

Dellavedova and Shumpert will play in Friday’s game four in Cleveland.

“I just cramped up a little bit and they thought the best form of recovery was to go to the hospital for a little bit, get an IV,” Dellavedova, who participated in a light training and video session on yesterday, told reporters.

“So, I’m feeling pretty good.”

Dellavedova ruled out any chance of sitting out, or having a reduced role in game four.

“I told him I was going to limit his minutes and he said, ‘No you’re not’,” Cavaliers head coach David Blatt said.

Dellavedova, who went undrafted in 2013 and was only initially signed to a $US100,000 guaranteed contract by the Cavaliers, logged 20 points, five rebounds and four assists in 38 relentless minutes on Wednesday.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) With your overall financial focus remaining on the rear view mirror for another 3 days, from today all your income focus is on the road ahead.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Today marks an important turning point on the personal and relationship front and it’s all because of Mercury’s direct turn in your sign today.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) A shift takes place today that means there is no longer anything to be gained from looking back through the rear view mirror.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) With a sense of adventure in the air in all aspects of your life you’re being reminded that it’s all about the journey.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) The block that has been holding everything back disappears, with all that has been held back likely to shoot forward like a champagne cork popping.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Don’t be fooled by thinking you’re sliding towards a professional funk. This is a brief reprieve that’s giving you a chance to hear yourself think.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Turn the financial challenges, tensions or pressures of the last few months into a new sense of resolve, choosing to take your power back.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As the tide turns and your relationship focus shifts to the future, communication remains just as important, learn from the past.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) With the Sun moving into his last 10 days in your work sector and aligned with Mars, this is what the professional gods have been waiting for.

Big job ahead United took on College B during last night’s premier netball clash.

FULL STORY P19 PHOTO TESTURO MITOMO 110615-TM-172

Heartbreak for Junior All Whites If only. For a few moments last night an unlikely New Zealand victory looked possible, before the football gods came to their senses and Portugal got home 2-1 with a late, late goal.

The Europeans were the better side throughout - and missed several great opportunities - but the home side showed remarkable resilience to stay with their highly fancied opponents.

The lingering disappointment will be the nature of the two Portuguese goals; both quite soft and due to poor defending, not representative of their work

over most of the night.

But this was much closer than anyone predicted, with the Portuguese winner coming in the 87th minute. This was New Zealand’s best display of the tournament and in the second half - and especially in the last 30 minutes - we finally saw this team play to their potential.

Darren Bazeley again made alterations to his starting XI, bringing in Andrew Blake and Cory Brown while Deklan Wynne moved into an advanced midfield role.

The first chance of the game

actually fell to the home side with Alex Rufer pulled down by his marker as he pursued a through ball - but when Portugal settled into their rhythm they were quick to take control.

Like most teams from the Iberian country, their passing and movement was a joy to watch, with neat triangles that constantly created space.

In the first half New Zealand found it difficult to stop their progress - even inside the penalty area - and only some desperate headed clearances from Bill Tuiloma prevented goals.

A Portuguese goal seemed like only a matter of time; a free header, a shot grazing the post, another floating just wide. But when it did come - in the 24th minute - it was extremely soft, especially at this level. Moses Dyer dived in and lost his footing, allowing Raphael Guzzo to turn and stroke the ball unchallenged into the far corner.

New Zealand lifted in response, creating half chances to Monty Patterson and Noah Billingsley and slowly but surely they started to believe, beginning to realise that they could

compete against the Portuguese.

Portugal still looked much more likely, before New Zealand substitute Stuart Holthusen sent the crowd into a frenzy with an equaliser in the 64th minute, slotting home from close range.

It was scrappy but a just reward, and the “All Whites, All Whites” chant began to ring around Waikato Stadium. That set up a frenetic finale, and Holthusen had another great chance before Gelson Martins struck his late, late goal from the edge of the area as defenders hung - NZME off him.
