Shop locally for jobs, we’re much more exciting than you think, was the message delivered by Mid Canterbury businesses to senior students at Ashburton College yesterday.

Eight businesses, covering white and blue collar professions, said attitude was more important than ability and that a university degree was not a prerequisite to a rewarding and profitable career.

Several hundred students in Year 12 and 13 are contemplating what they will do next year, weighing up more secondary and tertiary education against an apprenticeship or a gap year.

The mini expo was the first of what the school hopes will be annual expos where it can create better connections to the Mid Canterbury business community.

“It shows how much the community cares and is willing to invest in you,” deputy principal Ryan Wilson told the students.

“The message is that there are qualities they want you to show, but the big thing is get out there and talk to people and look for opportunities.”

Heartland Technology director Richard Spackman said it was a great opportunity for the students to connect with businesses and for businesses to identify “rockstars” that would help

them grow. Four years ago Heartland employed its own star from college and he had become an important part of the business, with a company car and good salary.

The 21-year-old had travelled overseas and recently bought a house.

“You don’t need to leave the region to get a good job.

“Plenty of companies are looking for good young people; it is about work ethic, turning up on time, having a great attitude, working hard and doing extra.”

■ OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS SCHOOL

Principal resigns

BY COLIN ENGELBRECHT COLIN.E@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Family ties are drawing a Methven primary school principal out of the district, and his position.

Tony Lamb, principal of the Methven Catholic school Our Lady of the Snows, will leave the school after four years.

Lamb handed in his resignation at the start of the school holidays, but he will continue to work until the end of the fourth term.

He started at the school, which only has a roll of around 40 students, in 2013.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here as principal over the past three and a half years and am very proud of where the school has come to today.

“It has been a pleasure working with the children and staff here at the school and with so many parents who share my enthusiasm for the education of these fine young boys and girls,” he said.

Lamb said he is leaving to move down south to take a new opportunity to be closer to family.

Travis Stringer talks with Chris Wilson and Poppy Sparrow about what it’s like to work at Heartland Technology.

Tony Lamb “I will miss Our Lady of the Snows but I am also very excited about the new adventure I am about to undertake.

“I am looking forward to a great last term here at the school and want you to know that I will continue to give my best for the school until we leave in the New Year,” Lamb said.

He said both he and his family have enjoyed their time living in the Methven area and they will miss their lifestyle here.

Still no sign of missing Temuka teenager Fears remain for the safety of Temuka teenager Yuri Santana, last seen on October 4.

Despite an extensive police search there has been no sign of the 17-year-old since he left his

home on Rangitata Huts Road in the Clandeboye district at around 10am on the day he disappeared.

Yuri was later spotted on Badham Road, near the intersection of Rangitata Island Road at

11.40am the same day.

Last week police believed he may have been hiding, saying it was not out of character for Yuri to “go walkabout”.

He is described as 182cm in

height, of medium build with dark hair.

He was last seen wearing light blue shorts and a light grey zipup jacket.

Yuri attended Ashburton Col-

lege until about May this year.

Police ask anyone who sees Yuri or has any information as to his whereabouts to call 111 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Voter returns may be third highest

■ SPELLBOUND

Super speller on track

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton girl Amy Pearson reads a lot of books, so it’s no surprise she is a good speller.

But the 14-year-old Ashburton College student is actually among the best spellers for her age-group in the land and will feature in the final of Spellbound on television on October 23.

Amy progressed to the final after semi-finals last Sunday and mum Mary Pearson said it was an exciting time for all concerned.

The family must keep details of the final show confidential until they go to air.

Pearson said she was a big reader and spelling came naturally after exposure to so many words, but in the lead-up to the semifinal she had also been learning words from other languages.

The whole family, including siblings Mia, 13, Ella, 12 and Ben,

8, and dad Byron, had been encouraging and the spelling bee competition had been a fabulous experience.

The spelling bee is for Years 9 and 10 and begins with tests in schools to find the country’s top 200 spellers.

The top 36 are found in six regional events and Amy progressed after an event in Christchurch. As a Year 9 last year, she was eliminated at that stage.

Pearson said it was the first time the final stages had been televised; Toni Street is presenting the three shows.

She said Amy had enjoyed making new friends amongst the contestants and she had enjoyed meeting other parents during the qualifying and filming stages.

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton had one of the highest voter returns in New Zealand in this year’s local body elections.

While the Mackenzie District is likely to claim number one spot at 64.26 per cent, Invercargill also made it onto the honours board with 55 per cent return. With some districts yet to file final numbers, Ashburton at 53.21 per cent could find itself with the third highest return rate in the country.

This year’s returns were well up on 2013 when just 48.9 per cent of ballot papers were returned and is equal with 2010.

Neighbours Timaru and Selwyn did not break the 50 per cent mark, with Selwyn on a 44.55 per cent return and Timaru on 48 per cent.

Across New Zealand, voter returns were just 39.5 per cent, down from 41 per cent in 2013 and 49 per cent in 2010.

While candidates cover their own campaign costs, the Ashburton District Council budgeted $128,125 in its democracy budget to cover costs related to the election.

To date those costs have nudged just over $100,000, well under budget.

While the council pays all costs around promoting and running the election it recovers a portion of those costs from the Ashburton Trust and District Health Board.

Pest controller wants live white-tail spiders

BY NOAH GRAHAM

NOAH.G@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An Ashburton pest controller is wanting people to bring him any white-tail spiders they can capture.

Each year, Ashburton Spiderban owner and operator Mike Ward stockpiles the live arachnids to show them as part of his display in the Ashburton A&P Show later this month.

Ward pays $5 for each white-tail spider but has only paid one per-

son for their eight-legged catch this year and hoped it would increase.

He said he had been to over 15 shows around the South Island and liked to have as many whitetail spiders in his collection to educate people at the display.

Ward said he had a lot of people talk to him who did not know what a white-tail spider looked like before they had seen his display.

He had once shown a pregnant white-tail spider and an egg sac at

his display and it drew people’s attention, he said.

Ward said he allowed people to hold the spiders in their jars as long as they did not shake them.

“They know [the spider] is going to move but they still scream when it happens.”

White-tails are a predatory spider that feeds off other household spiders and are the most common, poisonous spider in New Zealand, Ward said.

In his 21 years in the industry he

remained unbitten by the whitetail and wanted it to stay that way, he said.

“People show me their bites from a white tail. Some have big scars on their legs and arms.”

Ward said collecting the spiders and selling them to him was a “good little money earner, particularly for the kids”.

He said anyone who managed to capture the spiders could contact him through the Spiderban website.

Opposition to storage lake A resource consent application to build a mega storage lake in the Mid Canterbury foothills has attracted 95 submissions, more than half against the project.

The irrigation storage pond proposed by Rangitata Diversion Race Management Limited will be the equivalent of 12,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The irrigation company says it will have benefits for both farmers and the environment.

Environment Canterbury said 95 submissions had been

received in response to the resource consent applications, and 38 submitters wanted to be heard in support of their submission.

Fifty-five were against it and 39 were in support. The project involves 12 Environment Canterbury and one Ashburton District Council consent applications and involves major earthworks.

ECan will now appoint commissioners to hear the applications at a public hearing.

Special bus trip for history buffs History buffs will have an opportunity to see some of the best the Ashburton District has to offer when Historic Places Mid Canterbury loads up a bus and heads for the hills on Saturday.

The group of buildings includes a stone cottage built in 1862 and accommodation built in the 1880s to house single men working on Hakatere Station.

MiG gets wings; moves closer to display The latest addition to the Ashburton Aviation Museum is one step closer to being ready for display.

Volunteers have attached the wings to the MiG-17, which was formerly in service in the Polish Air Force before being sold

to an American. Several months of work has already gone into restoring the Polish war plane, which spent about 15 years standing on the tarmac in Rockford, Illinois.

Some parts needed to be replaced, including sourcing origi-

nal Polish instruments to replace the American made items put in during its time in the United States.

Now the plane needs to be sanded down before a coat of paint can be applied and the aircraft can be put on display.

Meet the seven new councillors

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

For seven people from the Ashburton District, the reality of having won a seat around the Ashburton District Council meeting table is now starting to sink in.

When the votes were counted on Saturday Liz McMillan, Lynette Lovett, Mark Malcolm, Leen Braam, Diane Rawlinson, Thelma Bell and Selwyn Price won a seat and after they are sworn into office on October 26, will then use the title district councillor.

The seven new councillors bring varying degrees of experience to the council table, but all are clearly committed to being part of a process that will achieve the best outcomes for the district.

They say that while they’ll be spending their first weeks listening and learning, they won’t be afraid to air their views and take part in debate.

Lynette Lovett The farmer and new eastern ward councillor says she has a strong interest in the redevelopment of the town centre.

“As a council we have to take a good look at this and make the right decisions. It needs to become a place where people come, sit down and enjoy the experience.

We’re a bit disjointed,” she said.

The council needs to take a long, hard look at the whole town and its development rather than having shops dotted here and there.”

She’d opt for the library relocating to the old county building in Baring Square east, would like to see terraced housing in the heart of the town and as a current member of the council’s roading reference group is keen to continue her

involvement in roading issues – across the district.

“And we have to go ahead with the second bridge and then possibly another further out as a bypass.”

Leen Braam The landscaper and new urban ward councillor says he’s passionate about the Ashburton District.

“There are a lot of positive things about it; don’t let the negative things take over.”

He says he can see both sides of an issue and will support the right things.

The district’s relationship with water was one of the major issues for him. “We have to try to solve this and we have to make sure we’re making the right decisions.”

He also wants to see things change in the town centre. He doesn’t see the new civic building being built in the middle of town and said he is looking forward to working on this project.

“I applaud the people who want to do the redevelopment in town and the council needs to be there to help them.”

Solving the issues around traffic log jams from Tinwald into Ashburton had to be addressed, he said.

“We have to look at all options”.

Diane Rawlinson The insurance broker and new urban councillor and was the first chairperson of the Ashburton Citizens’ Association and is its current secretary.

For her it’s imperative the council develops a clear vision for the town’s redevelopment, not just five years out but for the next 10 or 20

years. “I’d like to see something in the council, a working model on how the town is planned to develop so people can see what’s happening and you can see how it will work,” she said.

“It’s all about having a clear view and vision so we can all look at the bigger picture.”

She is a member of the Tinwald corridor project group and hopes to remain involved in the drive to improve traffic flows through town.

Tourism is also one of her passions and she’s keen to see the council make a greater commitment in this area. “We have so much to offer here that’s unseen.”

Selwyn Price Over the past four months the education consultant has been in the public gallery at most council meetings and says that’s given him valuable background knowledge and understanding of the way in which the council works.

“And through my Facebook page I also think I have a good grasp of how people in the community are feeling on many issues,” he said.

He believes water is the most significant issue facing the district.

He’s attended several water zone committee meetings and believes he has a good overview of the issue.

He’s also passionate about the revitalisation of Ashburton’s central business district.

“I see the council as being in a position to make things happen in the town centre that other developers can’t; we have the control of the resources.”

He’s in favour of holding onto buildings rather than pulling them down, saying it’s important to keep

links with the past.

Economic growth in the district has to continue, but it can’t be at the expense of environmental or social issues, Price said.

“Having a social conscience is important for councillors.”

Liz McMillan The Methven Playcentre supervisor says her number one objective is to be a good representative for the western ward.

“I want to bring the thoughts of the Methven people to council, to have our voice heard and while I have a local body background from the Methven Community Board this is a big step up, there will be a lot to learn,” she said.

McMillan says she will be taking a broad view on all issues and believes that often the best solutions are achieved when people are prepared to think outside the square.

She’ll be comfortable taking part in debates, but says she likes to have all the facts before she states her case.

The mum of two is now planning the balancing act her life will become as she fits council commitments and work commitments around looking after her family.

Mark Malcolm The eastern ward businessman says his passion will definitely be rural affairs, with water taking number one slot.

While he’ll be doing his best to be the voice of Rakaia, that doesn’t mean he won’t be intensely interested in council business across the board, he said.

He’s keen to see the new civic centre on the existing site and he believes that putting the Bar-

ing Square Church in the mix has opened a huge can of worms about the future of the district’s remaining older buildings.

Malcolm says he’s about making sensible decisions, not emotional decisions.

“I want to find out things, understand things. I want to be well informed and I’ll be getting to know it from a different angle.”

As he takes up the role of district councillor, Malcolm says he won’t be making any commitment to any issue; he’s coming to the council table with a broad and open mind.

Thelma Bell The urban councillor says she feels blessed to have been voted on to the council.

“Several things are going through my mind at the moment.

It’s a learning curve for a new councillor but at the same time it is exciting, it is a new beginning,” she said.

For her a big issue will be working towards making Ashburton streets and the district as a whole a much safer place to live. She’s concerned at the ongoing violence on town streets and the growing incidents of petty thefts.

While she’s committed to improving street safety, Bell said she will be coming to council with a desire to learn as much as she can about a range of issues.

When it comes to the location of the district’s new civic centre, she is very clear – leave it where it is.

“With my background I get the facts from different sides of the situation which will be useful in decision making. I will strive so as my term as a councillor will be productive working together as a team.”

For more than 90 years the business of Arthur Cates has been run from a large building on Burnett Street.

Today that business is still in business, but from a new home in Ashburton’s Riverside Industrial Estate while the Burnett Street building is almost a pile of rubble.

The third generation Cates, Daryl now runs his business from Robinson Street while the Burnett Street premises is demolished to make way for the new multiowner Eastfield development. This will include office space, car parking, accommodation, retail and large green spaces.

Arthur Cates Ltd was established in 1908

when Arthur Cates, a former teacher and gas works employee, decided to start his own plumbing and gas fitting business.

His premises was in Havelock Street, but it quickly outgrew its home and a move was made in 1922 to Burnett Street to a building that was occupied by Reid and Grey.

Two years later Arthur Cates took over the Reid and Grey agency and sold ploughs, cultivators, milking machines and pumps, as well as water pumps.

When Arthur died in 1948 his sons Tom and Arthur (AV) took over the company and today it is run by AV’s son Daryl.

Call for independent inquiry into time-out rooms An independent inquiry should immediately investigate the use of “time out” rooms in schools, says the head of the national autism charity.

Dane Dougan, chief executive of Autism New Zealand, said the agency had been flooded with calls from worried parents following news that children at a Wellington primary school had been locked in a dark, cupboard-sized room as punishment.

It was revealed earlier this week an 11-year-old autistic boy had been shut in the room at Miramar Central School 13 times in nine days, and was discovered by his behaviour therapist crying out “I’ll be good I’ll be good”.

His mother says he is still traumatised and she plans to lay a complaint with the Ombudsman and police.

Following the story, the Ministry of Education said it was aware of other such rooms around the country, but did not have an exhaustive list, or a record of when they were used.

Dougan said that in itself was problematic.

“We need to know where else this is happening. How often? Is it a widespread problem? And if it is we need to educate schools that there is a better way of dealing with autistic kids,” he said.

“Locking anyone away in a dark room is a terrible situation.”

He said the government should request an independent agency to undertake an inquiry.

Green education spokeswoman Catherine Delahunty backed the call, but felt it was unlikely the Government would agree.

“But we need answers on the practice as soon as possible, so some kind of investigation is essential,” she said.

The Herald has since been told of at least three other rooms around the country, but is yet to confirm if they are still in use.

Yesterday, a group of parents with disabled children wrote an open letter to Government asking the practice be made illegal.

“It is a cruel, outdated and traumatising punishment that we call on to cease immediately if it is being used elsewhere in any New Zealand school,” the letter said.

“The staff who locked these children in this room need to be held to account, along with anybody in authority who sanctioned this practice.”

A Ministry of Education investigation found reasons children were put in the room included hitting, making a mess, disobedience, and a lack of focus.

It said while staff had best intentions, the practice was “outmoded”. The ministry strongly recommended the school stop using the room.

Principal John Taylor-Smith said it will phase its use out.

Truck driver kills second cyclist A truck driver who ran over and killed a tourist cyclist – nine years after killing a Wellington cyclist – has avoided jail in a case that prompted a judge to call for camera technology to be used on large trucks.

David Peter Connell – who was earlier found guilty of careless driving causing death of Taiwanese tourist Ming-Cheh Hsieh in 2014 – was sentenced to four months’ community detention and ordered to do 200 hours of community work and pay his victim’s family $7000 at Christchurch District Court yesterday.

Hsieh, 33, was struck by 51-year-old Connell’s truck and trailer unit at a Christchurch intersection in the Hornby suburb and died at the scene.

In 2005, Stephen Craig Avery died while cycling to work on the Kapiti Coast north of Wellington when he was struck by a truck being driven by Connell.

Connell has now twice been convicted for careless driving causing the death of a cyclist.

Yesterday at Christchurch District Court, police pushed for a sentence of three months in jail.

Defence counsel Kerry Cook said Connell issued a sincere apology to the Hsieh family, and had also done so in his police interview at the time.

“The loss of a son is more than anyone should bear,” Cook said.

Connell would have liked to have met the family and had offered to do so via Skype but that offer was “understandably” de-

clined. “No one sets out to be careless,” Cook said.

These types of careless driving causing death cases were “horrendous”, Cook said, because for a “non-intended event, the consequences are so tragic”.

Yesterday’s offer of $7000 in emotional harm reparation was a “significant amount” of money for Connell who is not currently working and had to take a loan to cover it, Cook said.

Connell pleaded not guilty ahead of a judge-alone trial in Christchurch District Court in May. Judge Gary MacAskill said Connell was a professional and experienced driver, who was aware of the vehicle’s blind spots.

He found that although Con-

nell didn’t know whether a cyclist was in the cycling lane, he took no precaution at all against that risk and should have known he had the option to wait a few seconds.

“He ought to have known that this option was available to him,” Judge MacAskill said in his judgement.

“The fact that he thought he was driving carefully is not the point. A reasonable careful driver would have responded to the risk by waiting a few seconds, to be sure that there was no unseen cyclist in the cycle lane and that the way was clear for him to turn left.”

Stephen Avery’s sister Lesley has called for Connell to be banned from driving trucks.

It still hurts that her family nev-

er received an apology.

“I saw a photo of him sitting in the court and he didn’t look at all remorseful. It looked like he was just sitting there thinking, ‘God, this is another waste of time’,” Lesley Avery said.

“We’ve had to move on because nothing is going to bring [Stephen] back.

“It had ripped my family apart, my immediate family ... I miss my brother so much because we were so close.”

Lesley Avery said she hoped Hsieh’s family could now gain some peace.

“Apparently he apologised to them and that was nice to know.

The thing that gutted me and my family is he didn’t contact us at all.”

■ REVIEW

Pantomime guaranteed to entertain and enthrall Cavorting through the Mid Canterbury Wild West town of Methven this week is the dynamic show Calamity Dame.

Featuring an extremely committed cast and production team, this delightful performance showcases local talent excellently and entertains from beginning to end.

All of the cast played their roles skilfully. The scintillating four Betties (Brooke Sandys, Paige Jones, Becky Dirks and Jolene McGuire) giggle suggestively as the ditzy Dipper (Linda Young) delivers his dopey humour.

Felicity Feelsgood’s (Gemma Bell) sparkling performance never wavers in “doing the right thing” and chasing after the pleasantly simple, naïve Sherriff (Jack Scott).

The nerdy postman (Lawrence McCormick) is delightful and had me chuckling throughout his brief appearance.

A talented mother and daughter duo (Janine Peters and Ollie Body) have created gorgeous backdrops that transport you immediately to the Wild West where

and Mary Cressey).

Kids will love the toilet humour.

The whole show has high energy, crowd-pleasing songs in-

terspersed throughout which are beautifully choreographed by Michaela George, delivered by a fabulous chorus, band and cast

led by director Chris Woods and musical director Wayne Pannett.

Just when it appears that the pace may slow, then Trinny (Janine Holland) and Susannah (Louise Sandlant) burst onto the stage in their drag-length eye lashes, full of the what-not-towearisms that we laugh about and are familiar with.

Stan’s (Jason Ree) cover version You Can Leave Your Hat On had me rolling with laughter at his attempts to be idiotically raunchy.

From Calamity (Gavin Templeton) to Frankston Frugal (Dayle Stoliker) to Chop Suey (Blake Stockdill), the Ninjas and Bunnies (Logan Stockdill, Laura Scott, Tammy Dickson, Clancy Brown, Shyann Hughes, Harpa Hughes and Lucy Schikker, this show is a definite must see, which in typical panto-style will have you interacting, entertained, enthralled and wanting more of the same from this very talented cast.

OUR VIEW

Change the way we cast our votes Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

F

or some reason Kiwis seem to have disengaged from local body politics.

Most never go near a council chamber, never warm a seat in the public gallery and many never even bother to vote when the three yearly election rolls around.

Those same people, however, are quick to condemn and criticise when their council makes a decision, carries out an action or activity that they don’t like. And woe betide that council if it hikes up rates.

But those who never bother to vote are also happy to enjoy the good things a council does.

And on our patch that’s been providing us with a new art and heritage centre, building a fantastic sports facility and indoor pool, ensuring our water supply is world class, that our sewage is taken away, that rubbish collections occur on time and that our roading network is kept in good shape.

In the Ashburton District our voter numbers rose – 55 per cent of us bothered to fill in our ballot papers and pop these in the post.

In some parts of New Zealand the return rate was in the low 30 per cent range.

Why? We live in a democracy, but it’s a democracy that less than half of us participate in; it’s clearly a concept many are not familiar with.

It could also have something to do with the way we run local body elections. Unlike general elections where there is one day of vote casting, local body elections use postal voting.

This gives voters about four weeks to fill in their voting papers and get these in the mail.

Easy to forget and easy to treat the issue with no urgency.

Then there’s the option of on-line voting.

This was supposed to be trialled in the October election but it wasn’t. Tying up the security issues proved too difficult.

Online voting must be available next time round and if it is, there’s every chance as a country we may engage a new wave of young people who become interested in what their council is doing and who is doing it.

And they should. What a council does today is done for the future, their future.

■ AUSTRALIA

Marriage equality vote blocked The Australian opposition on Tuesday decided to block government plans for a public but non-binding vote on recognising gay marriage, arguing it would better if the issue was decided in Parliament.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s conservative coalition government needs centre-left Labour Party’s support to get enabling legislation through the Senate to hold a national vote on gay marriage on February 11.

But a meeting of Labour lawmakers on Tuesday unanimously decided against supporting the plebiscite, opposition leader Bill Shorten said.

“This country does not have the right in a plebiscite to pass judgment on the marriages and relationships of some of our fellow Australians. It is not what Australia is about,” Shorten told reporters.

Turnbull, a marriage equality advocate, said despite the Labour comments, the idea of a plebiscite was dead. “We urge the senators to support that bill and give the people their say,” Turnbull told reporters.

Immortalised in sweat

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull introduced legislation that would have allowed a public but non-binding vote on gay marriage early next year.

PHOTO AP The Australian Christian Lobby, which opposes marriage equality, said it was disappointed “that ordinary Australians are being shut out from having a say about the biggest social policy change in a generation.”

The government released draft amendments to the federal marriage law that would be put to Parliament if a majority of Australians endorse gay marriage in the plebiscite. Opinion

of same-sex marriage law reform during Parliament’s current three-year term.

Alex Greenwich, co-chair of the Australian Marriage Equality lobby group, welcomed Labour’s rejection of the plebiscite.

“That is a move that indeed reflects the views of the gay and lesbian community who now want the debate about a plebiscite put behind us,” Greenwich told reporters.

-AP

polls show most Australians support marriage equality.

Most gay rights advocates fear that an aggressive scare campaign could result in the plebiscite failing. Some conservative lawmakers have said they will vote against gay marriage in Parliament even if a majority of Australians support it.

But some marriage equality advocates fear that Labour’s decision has ended any chance

German paddle-boards Note 7 sales halted his way to England A stand-up paddle boarder has been picked up 11km off the coast of Dover in the United Kingdom, wearing just a hat, fleece jumper and shorts.

A UK Home Office spokesman says the man became disorientated while paddling, but witnesses and government officials have conflicting accounts of what happened.

The man was spotted by divers off the coast of Dover at dawn local time.

“The man was a German tourist in distress but who was in the country legally - he was not an illegal immigrant,” the

Home Office spokesman said.

“He had been on the water for some time having gone out on his paddleboard and was picked up by HMS Valiant.”

But Nigel Scutt, a marine researcher who runs the DoverMarina.com website, said: “He said he had made his way across the channel from France, leaving at about midnight.

“The divers saw him at about 7.30am, so he was probably just over halfway towards the UK. “There is quite a lot of this going on, but it is a polarising issue so the Government does not want it known.”

Samsung said it is halting sales of the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone after a spate of fires involving new devices that were supposed to be safe replacements for recalled models.

“We would have not taken this measure if it had looked like things could end so easily,” Oh Yu-cheon, a senior official at the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards that oversees product recalls, said in an interview.

In a statement Samsung Electronics Inc said consumers with original Note 7 devices or replacements they obtained after the recall should turn off the power and seek a refund or exchange them.

BUFFET EVERY SUNDAY

The announcement follows several new incidents of overheating last week. Leading wireless carriers have said they would stop distributing new Note 7 phones.

Samsung said it would ask all carriers and retailers to stop selling the phones and providing them as replacements for recalled devices.

It said consumers should return their phones to the place where they purchased them.

The Note 7 is not Samsung’s most popular device; it sells far more units of its Galaxy S7 phones than the Note 7 device. But analysts say the issue could hurt the company’s reputation.

Bookings essential

Shia LaBeouf marries Shia LaBeouf and long-term girlfriend Mia Goth have got married. The 30-yearold actor exchanged his vows with the actress in Las Vegas, with a ceremony that was anything but traditional. The pair got hitched at Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel - a place known for its themed weddings - and in pictures posted by the site it seems the couple decided to go for a combination of themes including Elvis Presley and Hawaiian. The ceremony appeared to be all too much for the Transformers star, as he began to cry as he kissed his new bride. Shia and Mia met 2012, and have been dating on and off ever since.

Engagement speculation first started when Mia, 22, was seen during Paris Fashion Week with a ring on her finger.

A wax figure of pop star Justin Bieber goes on display in London this month, giving fans a replica figure and installation inspired by the Canadian singer’s current world music tour.

London’s Madame Tussauds unveiled the figure which features Bieber shirtless with sweat apparently glistening on his tattooed torso. Bieber also appears with dancers performing his chart-topping hit Sorry. Tussauds said the “wet look” figure - which is from its sister Las Vegas museum - recreated a moment from the singer’s Purpose world tour which arrives in London this week.

■ AVONDALE APARTMENTS

Construction costs a killer Building costs ‘skyrocketed’ an eye-watering 20 per cent at the now-axed Avondale apartment project in the last year, its developer has revealed.

Jon Sandler, planning the 91unit Flo apartments, disclosed the scale of change between planning the big new scheme last year on a Special Housing Area and finding out precisely how much it would cost to build later this year.

“Since the genesis of this project, construction costs have skyrocketed in Auckland.

“Obviously you leave a contingency in forecasts for some cost increases but we’re talking up to a 20 per cent increase in costs here.

“That’s simply not viable on a project of this size,” Sandler said.

“Plumbers are now charging up to $120/hour.

“It’s also the price increases of gib board and concrete and we’ve got a duopoly in the building sector in New Zealand,” he said.

Those rises, combined with more restrictive bank lending, killed the project in which many first-home buyers planned to purchase.

“I’d say 50/50. Both factors are not unrelated.

“There are a very limited number of construction companies in New Zealand capable of building a site of this size.

“Due to the Christchurch rebuild and the level of apartment and general construction in Auckland right now – just check out the skyline for cranes – con-

struction company resources are stretched and build prices reflect that accordingly,” Sandler said.

“I personally obviously made no money from this project – quite the reverse.”

But the bank lending changes

took him by surprise and were only recent.

“Funders show an expression of interest before a project goes to market so that a developer knows whether to start sales, which we obviously had.

“But of course this is always subject to change and in this case banks have altered their positions significantly in the last two to three months,” he said.

“New Zealand banks are governed out of Australia. The Australians are very nervous given what has happened there and have advised New Zealand to stop lending on this type of development, which has resulted in a number of banks with totally bankable profitable deals unable to progress,” he said.

Revive founder Jeremy Dixon said yesterday he was “flabbergasted” after operations manager Lisa Burne was told by a Mission staff member their donations were no longer needed because the Mission’s homeless clients wouldn’t eat the healthy options. Revive had been donating leftover food twice a week for six to eight weeks when they were given the boot, but City Mission boss Chris Farrelly said yesterday he believed the rejection was a mistake caused by a miscommunication.

Warren Buffett, the big boss at Berkshire Hathaway.

■ TAX EVASION

Buffett replies to Trump accusations Legendary investor US Warren Buffett has hit back at Donald Trump saying he’s never used the kind of tax deduction that the Republican presidential candidate did, and that he has paid his taxes every year for 72 years.

Buffett was responding to Trump’s comments during Monday’s debate.

Trump claimed that his own tax avoidance was not unusual and was commonplace even among supporters of Hillary Clinton.

“Many of her friends took bigger deductions.

“Warren Buffett took a massive deduction,” Trump said.

Buffett, a long time supporter of Hillary Clinton, was quick to respond.

“Mr. Trump says he knows more about taxes than any other human.

“He has not seen my income tax returns.

“But I am happy to give him the facts,” he said in a state-

ment released yesterday.

“I have paid federal income tax every year since 1944, when I was 13. (Though, being a slow starter, I owed only $7 in tax that year),” he said.

“I have copies of all 72 of my returns and none uses a carry forward.”

Trump employed a carry forward when he claimed $916 million in losses in 1995.

That loss may have allowed him to avoid paying millions in federal taxes over several years.

Buffett also released details of his own taxes and reiterated his call for Trump to release his tax returns.

“I have been audited by the IRS multiple times and am currently being audited,” Buffett said.

“I have no problem in releasing my tax information while under audit.

“Neither would Mr. Trump – at least he would have no legal problem.”

The government’s changes to immigration policy for skilled migrants will exclude senior executives whose age and education doesn’t meet the tougher criteria, and sends out the message that “New Zealand is closed for business”, says an immigration adviser. The New Zealand Residence Programme’s planning range for residence approvals for the next two years has been lowered to 85,000-to-95,000 from a previous range of 90,000to-100,000, the skilled migrant category will impose higher barriers to entry, and the number of places for capped family categories was more than halved to 2000 per year.

Stewarts go fishing Christchurch’s rich-lister Stewart family has built up a substantial stake in SeaDragon, exercising more than half the rights issued to prop up the fish oil manufacturer. Pescado Holdings, a subsidiary of the family’s Masthead Holdings, exercised 652 million rights for a total price of $5.2 million, representing 59 per cent of the securities, SeaDragon said in a statement.

The company said it has raised $8.8m with about 70 per cent of the rights exercised.

Card spending rises New Zealand retail spending on electronic cards gained in September as the hospitality sector bounced back as the start of spring attracted more tourists. Retail spending rose a seasonally adjusted 1.9 per cent last month, turning around a 1.2 per cent decline in August, with bars and restaurants benefiting from strong tourist numbers, Statistics New Zealand said. Actual retail spending climbed 6.1 per cent to $4.75 billion in September from the same month a year earlier, with fuel the only sector to register a decline, reflecting cheaper petrol prices.

Pleasantly surprised by Bargain Box I

have a family full of fussy eaters, so when asked to review the new Bargain Box I was a bit unsure of how the meals would go down with myself, teen 1 and teen 2.

Bargain Box (similar to Food Bag) delivers food to your door and you make it. It takes the “what are we having for tea?” and shopping hassle out of dinners.

Everything, apart from some staples like salt, oil and butter, is in the box – veges, meat and flavourings – and you are given the recipes to follow.

We are not talking gourmet here, we are talking easy, quick, nutritious and tasty meals that I link to “family fodder”.

The first night of our Bargain Box experiment was BBQ chicken nibbles with kumara roasties and a lettuce salad. There was plenty of food and it went down a treat.

We had beef n’ puff pastry with baby sweetcorn and peas, coronation chicken sitting on top of a big vegeladen rice salad, meatloaf n’ mash with broccoli (and veges stashed in the meatloaf) and lamb mint pizzas with lettuce salad.

I don’t like lamb or mint sauce, but I was pleasantly surprised by the pizzas and not one person disliked them.

I tested out my Bargain Box recipes on so many people, forced them to stay for dinner, and I have to say there were no negative comments (apart from a teen who dislikes mushrooms).

Bargain Box was a pleasant surprise. Loads of fresh veges and protein, tasty, easy, costing around $5.30 per plate and got teen 1 and 2 to step outside the box a little.

One of the biggest pluses for me was the lack of waste.

In our throwaway society, it was great to cook a meal and not have leftover ingredients sitting in the fridge gathering mould – better for my pocket and better for the environment. Huge thumbs up to the Bargain Box team. Reviewed by Lisa Fenwick

All Whites impress Nelsen

BY MICHAEL BURGESS Former All Whites captain Ryan Nelsen says New Zealand reached a “different level” in their 2-1 loss to Mexico on Sunday.

Nelsen, who joined the team at training in Washington yesterday, was highly impressed by the All Whites’ performance against El Tri in Nashville.

Nelsen knows his stuff – he was at the forefront of the successful 2010 World Cup campaign and spent much of his career playing in New Zealand teams that were underdogs – and liked what he saw last weekend.

“I was very impressed,” said Nelsen.

“They pressured the Mexicans well, high up the field and they turned the ball over a lot.

“I’ve watched [Mexico] a lot and they don’t normally do that because they are technically very good players. The All Whites were very unlucky to lose the game – they probably deserved more out of [it].”

Nelsen hasn’t been directly involved with the All Whites since his retirement in early 2013, but

sees signs of progress under coach Anthony Hudson.

“Seeing from afar is different but everybody you talk to on the inside has talked about how positive it is, and what a great job he is doing,” said Nelsen.

“From afar I thought that last game against Mexico was a different level to what I have seen [from] New Zealand teams and it is really positive.”

The 38-year-old Nelsen has been based in the American capital since August 2014, after being sacked as manager of Toronto FC. Nelsen was at the MLS franchise for around 18 months, but has adapted well to life on the other side of the border.

“I love it here,” said Nelsen.

“I like the American attitude and the lifestyle.

“Besides the candidates for presidency, besides those two everything is great.”

He also remains a keen football observer, and will be in the stadium for today’s match between the All Whites and Jurgen Klinsmann’s side. “[The USA] have brought in

Ryan Nelsen quite a few fresh faces, guys that have been on the [fringes] of the team, so they’ll be motivated to impress their coach,” said Nelsen.

“It will be a tough game but if the [All Whites] can replicate what they did against Mexico then they have more of a chance of winning the game.”

Captain Winston Reid echoed those sentiments, saying

the team needs to maintain the standards set in Tennessee against the world No22 ranked team.

“We put in a good performance the other night and we need to make sure we do something similar – if not better – for tomorrow’s night game,” said Reid.

“The main thing is we had a game plan and we stuck to it.

“Even though we didn’t quite get the result we wanted there were more positives from the game than negatives.

“That was the important thing; that we can see we are improving as a group.”

It won’t be easy today.

The key challenge will be maintaining the high pressing, high energy style three days after the exertions in Nashville.

The USA will be well organised, fit and fast, and have added flair to their structure.

Expect Hudson to tweak his line-up, though he can’t afford to take the field in Washington without too many frontline players.

The match kicks off at 1pm (NZT) today.

France hurt Dutch The Netherlands are in danger of missing their second straight major tournament, with France dealing their World Cup qualifying hopes a major blow with a 1-0 victory in Amsterdam. As Belgium’s Christian Benteke went into the record books with a the quickest-ever World Cup qualifying goal in a 6-0 rout of Gibraltar, and Andre Silva scored a first-half hat-trick for European champions Portugal in a 6-0 win at the Faroe Islands, the Dutch again came up short. Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, was the match-winner with a powerful long-range strike.

Derby crowd wanted Melbourne wants its A-League crowd record back, and Victory coach Kevin Muscat says a derby date at the MCG will make it happen. Until Saturday night’s blockbuster Sydney derby, which attracted 61,880 people to ANZ Stadium, it was Victory which had monopolised the big A-League crowds. The top four regular-season attendances in the first decade of the competition were packed out

by Victory fans at Etihad Stadium.

The biggest club in the country isn’t used to playing second fiddle, and Muscat said he’d like a crack at a similar marquee fixture next year at the country’s grandest ground to see how big it could be.

Young ballers hone skills

By Noah Graham More than 120 aspiring New Zealand basketball players travelled from all over the South Island to Ashburton last weekend to hone their skills.

Players, parents and coaches came from Blenheim all the way to Invercargill to train at the Ashburton EA Networks Centre on Saturday and Sunday as part of Basketball New Zealand’s National Talent Training Programme Camp.

The players were split into four groups, the under 15 boys

and girls and the under 17 boys and girls, and taught and tested at the Ashburton camp – one of three across the country and only in the South Island – to see whether they were skilled enough to be considered for the National Team trials in December.

Mark Douglas, one of three assistant coaches for Ashburton, helped train the under 17 girls over the weekend and said it was a good chance for the players to broaden their skills and showcase their talent and dedication.

“There are a lot of kids here

who put in a lot of work.

“How many teenagers do you know that get up at four or five in the morning to train for a couple of hours before school?”

Douglas said it was not just a learning experience for the kids but also a chance for the coaches to learn something new and different.

“It was cool to see some refreshing ideas.”

He said it was great to have former Tall Fern and Olympic competitor Jody Cameron to assist the coaches and advise the young players.

Douglas said he was particularly proud of the effort from the local Ashburton kids who had done really well.

Julie McGrath was assistant coach for the under 15 girls at the Ashburton camp who said the experience was great for everybody.

She said it was good to have the South Island camp in Ashburton because it was a convenient place for families to come from all around the South Island and hoped Ashburton would get the camp again next year.

Breakers bench strength a huge positive The Breakers are embracing rather than questioning their depth.

The options have been highlighted by shooting guard Corey Webster being benched for the opening game, while Rob Loe and Akil Mitchell are quality big

men bench replacements.

Kirk Penney started ahead of Webster, and says competition isn’t a negative for the team.

He says their wave after wave of weaponry has players playing less than 30 minutes and

remaining relatively fresh.

Penney says whether players are starting on the court or on the bench doesn’t matter.

The incumbent forward-centre pairing of Mika Vukona and Alex Pledger now have several players

breathing down their necks, with new players Mitchell and Loe offering different skill sets.

The Breakers head to Perth today for Friday’s game against the defending champion Wildcats.

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson is expected to miss the first month of the NBA season with knee and thumb problems.

Detroit opens the regular season October 26 at Toronto, so Jackson’s timetable could keep him out for at least the first month.

Harden running hot Preseason statistics often can be misleading. That might not be the case with James Harden right now. After three preseason games, Harden has three points-assists double-doubles – the most recent one Sunday in Shanghai, when he had 26 points and 15 assists to help the Houston Rockets beat the New Orleans Pelicans 123-117 in an NBA Global matchup. “We’re treating every game like the regular season in order to build good habits,” Harden said. “We don’t take the preseason lightly”.

Randle the big threat Melbourne United have a serious dilemma ahead of tomorrow’s NBL clash with the Adelaide 36ers. How do you stop Jerome Randle in full flight? The star import was at his brilliant best in the 36ers’ 87-79 win over United in Melbourne on Sunday, scoring 30 points and dishing off five assists in an enthralling duel with Melbourne playmaker Cedric Jackson. For the 36ers, it was a welcome return to the aggression Randle showed last season as the NBL’s leading scorer.

Heartland hits boiling point

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The final weekend of Heartland round-robin rugby is set to be a thrilling one as the teams battle to keep their Meads and Lochore Cup aspirations alive.

Defending Meads Cups champions Wanganui will be out to keep their perfect record intact when they face HorowhenuaKapiti on Saturday.

The Butcher Boys are unbeaten this term and have taken maximum points from all but one of their seven outings.

Wanganui sent another clear message of their intentions with a 28-0 hiding of Buller in Westport last week.

The performance paid testament to the level Wanganui are operating at with Buller’s only other loss coming in a razor-thin 28-26 defeat to fellow Meads Cup contenders South Canterbury in week one.

South Canterbury currently sit in second on the ladder having lost just once this season against Wanganui (32-30) last month.

Mid Canterbury occupy third place on the points table and will face old enemy South Canterbury in Timaru on Saturday.

It will be the Hammers’ seventh defence of the Hanan Shield and also a mathematical chance to snare second place.

Meanwhile, Buller, Wairarapa

Bush and King Country all have a chance of filling fourth place.

Buller and Bush are on 25 points each, with Buller ahead thanks to a superior points deficit.

But they will have their work cut out this weekend against King Country in Taupo.

King Country, who sit on 23 points, will be out to make the most of home advantage and hope that East Coast can do them a favour by recording their first win of the campaign over Bush.

North Otago’s best hopes of a final will be in the Lochore Cup. The Old Golds’ 44-16 defeat to South Canterbury last week was their third of the campaign and

dumped them out of contention for a top-four finish in the process.

They will be joined by Poverty Bay and Horowhenua Kapiti in the Lochore Cup finals series, while West Coast, Thames Valley and East Coast all have the chance of securing the fourth Lochore playoff position.

WEEK EIGHT Thames Valley v Poverty Bay, Wanganui v Horowhenua Kapiti, West Coast v North Otago, King Country v Buller, South Canterbury v Mid Canterbury, Wairarapa Bush v East Coast.

Pack force Michael Hooper has warned the rookies at the Wallabies not to overdramatise the Eden Park hoodoo or be consumed by it. It’s easier to say than do because the “Blackout” history at Auckland’s killing field for 30 years is almost impossible to escape.

Flanker Hooper is still suggesting inexperienced team-mates prepare in a bubble for the October 22 date with the rampant All Blacks. “At the end of the day it’s a pitch. Four sticks. Same trylines. That’s how we’ve got to face it.”

Play your own game England coach Eddie Jones wants to give his side a unique identity rather copy the template of the all-conquering All Blacks just to prove that there is more than one route to success in the international game. England have won all nine games since the Australian took over last year but still have some way to go to catch up with the world champions. “The thing that really annoys me about rugby at the moment, and I’ve got to say it, is that everybody tries to copy New Zealand,” Jones said. “Why? Come up with your own game.”

All Blacks best in the world; daylight a clear second New Zealand’s iron grip on the world rugby rankings has been reinforced just as British newspaper readers lauded the current All Blacks side as the greatest team in rugby history.

World Rugby’s latest world rankings have just been released – and reaffirm what has been apparent for the last two months – the All Blacks are light years ahead of the chasing pack.

New Zealand have climbed to the highest points total of any team since the rankings were introduced in 2003, sitting on 96.57 points.

The achievement comes as readers of the London Daily Telegraph news

website’s rugby section lauded the Kieran Read-led All Blacks as the best team to ever play the game.

A poll in the Telegraph asked readers if the All Blacks were the greatest side in the code’s history – and 85 per cent of reader responses said they were.

The rankings margin back to secondplaced England of 7.08 points is also the biggest lead ever held.

It follows the All Blacks’ dominant 3-0 home sweep of Wales and an unchallenged romp through the Rugby Championship.

Currently on a world record 17-test winning run, the All Blacks haven’t

budged from top spot since claiming it from the Springboks seven years ago, a period which has encompassed two World Cup wins.

South Africa’s recent woes are reflected in a drop to fourth behind Australia.

Argentina fall to ninth after finishing last in the Rugby Championship, having notched just one win.

In brief

■ RUGBY

The rebuild of Aaron Smith

By GreGor Paul All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has an uncanny ability to accurately gauge the emotional state of his players.

It’s arguably his trump card – an almost sixth sense that enables him to know what’s in the best long term interests of an individual.

Time and again he’s carefully managed a damaged soul back to full noise – think Julian Savea this year, Aaron Cruden in 2014 and Ma’a Nonu in 2012.

His next challenge is going to be rebuilding Aaron Smith back to his world class best.

Smith, entirely through his own crass and extraordinarily thoughtless actions, has endured the worst week of his professional career.

From being lauded for his playing genius in Christchurch against the Springboks where he was the most influential player on the field, he’s now the source of justifiable public ire for what he did the next day at the airport.

The reaction has been extreme and relentless and Smith must wonder how things will be for

him when he pops out to buy some milk.

He’s not only having to deal with this new found position as a target for verbal abuse every time he steps out of his house, he’s also trying to piece together a personal life that is presumably not in great shape.

He’s also waiting to hear his fate in regard to a more significant punishment than the onegame imposed by his All Blacks peers.

A misconduct process carried out by New Zealand Rugby will determine what sanctions Smith should face – with a significant fine, warning and commitment to attend some kind of counselling the most likely outcome.

It’s by no means certain, but Smith will most likely be available to play against the Wallabies at Eden Park on October 22.

But it would be a surprise if he’s selected in the 23.

A big surprise.

As someone who understands human fallibility, Hansen knows that time is the best healer in any rehabilitation process.

Start Smith in Auckland and it will open the door for the build-

Aaron Smith up to be all about one man.

It will be a massive distraction – not so much for the rest of the squad, but for Smith.

He’ll prepare for a huge test under unprecedented scrutiny and that won’t be conducive to him being able to do his job.

It also opens the possibility of Smith being mocked by the home crowd – for the smallest mistake to play on his mind and further agitate the crowd.

The psychological damage of that could be lasting.

Simply put, it wouldn’t be good for Smith or the All Blacks if he’s

involved in the next test.

He needs more time and, in this case, more distance.

The All Blacks head for Chicago at the end of the month to play Ireland, and will then carry on to Europe for three more tests in Rome, Dublin and Paris.

That’s the time to return Smith to the fold – after some of the fervour has died and Smith’s in a better head space.

It also makes sense to return him to his No 9 jersey on foreign soil, where the media scrutiny will be less intense.

This was the path Hansen took with Cruden after the first-five missed a flight to Argentina.

Cruden didn’t return to the team for the third Bledisloe test in Brisbane – the first available opportunity after serving his punishment.

It was the test in Chicago, against the USA, where Cruden slipped back into the starting team and began the process of re-establishing himself and winning back the trust of his teammates.

That same path now seems like the right one for his Manawatu teammate to tread.

■ GREYHOUND RACING

Aussies back down on greyhound ban An Australian state premier has backed down on a ban on greyhound racing, instead deciding to increase measures designed to reduce the risk of animal cruelty.

New South Wales state premier Mike Baird faced a strong backlash to the ban after it was announced in July, and relented to the opposition yesterday.

Baird initially said his government had no alternative but to impose the ban, which had been due to be introduced in July next year, after a state parliamentary inquiry found overwhelming evidence of animal cruelty.

The inquiry’s report found between 48,000 and 68,000 greyhounds were killed in New South Wales state in the previous 12 years because they were deemed uncompetitive.

It also found up to 20 per cent of trainers had engaged in “live baiting” – feeding live animals to the dogs in hope of making them run faster in races when chasing the lure of an artificial rabbit – and that on average 180

Sledging denied The brother of Phillip Hughes has shaken his head during evidence from the late cricketer’s batting partner and former housemate Tom Cooper at an inquest in Sydney. The inquest has heard the Hughes family is concerned the South Australian batsman was subjected to ungentlemanly bowling and sledging before being fatally struck by a ball at the SCG in November 2014. Cooper, who was the non-striker when Hughes was hit in the side of the neck, said he was confident NSW paceman Doug Bollinger didn’t say something like “I’m going to kill you” during the match.

Wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council after a run-in with South Africa’s Tabraiz Shamsi during the fourth one-day international. - AAP

We’re still good mates Bathurst 1000 winner Will Davison will spend the week planning Jamie Whincup’s bucks party as race officials consider a protest that threatens to deliver the Peter Brock trophy to his close mate.

Davison revealed he celebrated his incredible Bathurst win with Whincup on Mount Panorama on Sunday night shortly after Red Bull Racing Australia fired in an official protest over the result. “He actually came and had a beer with me,” Davison said.

Hasler in spotlight Coach Des Hasler’s future at Canterbury will reportedly come under the microscope at a special board meeting scheduled by the NRL club on Friday. Hasler is contracted until the end of 2017, but the Bulldogs are believed to be weighing up his position following a disappointing end to the season.

The Bulldogs lost their last four games of the year, including a heavy elimination defeat to Penrith in week one of the finals.

Maloney eyes debut Greyhound racing in New South Wales will be given another chance. greyhounds a year suffered critical injuries during races.

At the time, Baird said his state would be following many jurisdictions across the United States and the world which have banned greyhound racing to protect animal welfare.

He said subsequent feedback showed the majority view was that the industry should be given another chance.

“We did not give the good people in the industry the chance to respond, a chance to reform,” Baird said.

“On behalf of that, I am sorry.

“That is something we should have done.”

He said a new organisation would be created to regulate the sport, adding: “The greyhound industry will be given that one last chance.”

Leishman joins Scott in World Cup of Golf There’s no Jason Day but tournament organisers are confident three of the world’s top 10 players will still lure fans to Kingston Heath to see Australia defend the World Cup of Golf title next month.

Ashburton Guardian 17

The tournament took a big hit last week when world No.1 Day withdrew due to an ongoing back problem, extending his absence from an Australian golf course to four years.

World No.6 Adam Scott yester-

day confirmed Marc Leishman as his new partner for the twoman, 28 team event to be contested from November 23-27.

Scott opted for Leishman, and while the world No.58 doesn’t have the same pulling power as

Day, tournament director Matt Kamienski said it was still a highquality field, which includes the 2016 Masters champion, England’s Danny Willett (ranked nine), and American Ricky Fowler (10).

James Maloney could be rewarded for his stellar NRL season with a spot on the Kangaroos bench for Saturday’s Test against New Zealand in Perth. Cronulla five-eighth Maloney was a key figure in the Sharks’ maiden NRL premiership win. He is being considered by coach Mal Meninga as a utility interchange player for the clash against the Kiwis. Johnathan Thurston and Cooper Cronk are automatic selections in the Kangaroos halves.

But Thurston said he could see Maloney making his Australian debut from the bench.

In brief

■ WHANGAREI

Nelson ready for Ruakaka Lightly-tried five-year-old Nelson Park is expected to give a bold account of himself when he kicks off his spring campaign at Ruakaka today.

A two-time Premier meeting winner last preparation, the strapping son of Iffraaj will resume in the A’Fare Caterers Handicap.

“He’s one of those horses that you don’t mind getting up in the mornings for,” Byerley Park trainer Shane Hapeta said.

“What he did last time around did us all proud – he had been

up for 11 months even though he only had eight races.

“He’s a big horse and we were trying to get his head right, he wanted to bolt in his slow work all the time so we changed a few things around and a different routine has worked for him.”

Nelson Park won three times earlier this year before he was given a break.

“He went out for two months and he’s put on 30 kilos, which he’s kept on,” Hapeta said.

“He trialled up well at Avondale and I would be very surprised if

he didn’t go a good race.”

Nelson Park will be ridden by Mark Du Plessis, who has won on the gelding and who partnered him at the trials last month.

“We’ll take it a race at a time and Mark knows the horse so he’ll tell us whether we go straight to a mile next time or give him another 1400,” Hapeta said.

“I would like to get him up to 2000 metres at some stage.

“He’s got a good cruising speed and I’m sure he’ll make it in open class.”

Harris ‘in awe’ Tohu Harris admits he is still slightly in awe of Kangaroos Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk, but won’t let that admiration affect his performance for the Kiwis on Saturday night.

Smith and Cronk are two of the legends of the sport – both tipped as possible future immortals – and have played a big role in Harris’ development since he went to the Storm as a teenager in 2010.

The Kiwis back rower has played more than 100 matches alongside the duo, and reached the grand final with them this season.

But on Saturday night they

will be the enemy, the men the Kiwis will have to stop if they have any chance of another famous victory over Australia.

“I’ve played against them a few times but I still find it a bit odd,” said Harris.

“I am still a little bit in awe of them, if that makes sense. I feel lucky and privileged to play alongside them.

“When you see them across the other side of the field in that green and gold jersey it is a bit surreal...but you can’t focus too much on who is wearing it.

You can’t dwell on that, otherwise they will run circles around you.”

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The people who know you best are not always those you live with or have known for many years, or those you call family. Like-minds, observant people and kindred spirits will be your treasures today.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You don’t have to worry about pushing the limits of your intellect or your creativity. It all unfolds rather naturally.

You’ll be coming up with answers for as long as you keep questioning.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Someone clever has intrigued and inspired you. Now you’re getting increasingly involved in chasing that inspiration so you can build on it. You so want to construct something here for your very own.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Polarisation will get old pretty fast. Do what you do when the printer runs out of black ink: Fall back on the colour cartridge to see even more of this picture.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Open your mind and senses to what other people are looking for. Listen to the message. Gaps between people that seemed too distant to bother with can be closed with no compromise to integrity.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You once thought of someone as an adversary, but now you’re beginning to wonder if the two of you might make a powerful team. Of course, first you have to agree to be on the same side. Ease into this.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If your desire is weak and you get what you want, the victory is no big deal.

You’re better off waiting for something you really, really want.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There’s a stressful little knot to unravel. Don’t get out the scissors just yet. Go back to the drawing board. There’s got to be a way to have two winners in this scenario.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): With complicated social dynamics, it may help to think of yourself as a part of nature – a particular kind of animal with specific adaptations and talents. The better you know yourself, the happier you’ll be.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Today’s storyline may not be all that emotional or remarkable, but it will seem to have the dramatic music and lighting necessary to evoke the desired audience response.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): If you place too small a value on your work, you’ll be stuck at that agreement. On the other hand, if you price too high you’ll be passed up. Luckily, you have a talent for finding the sweet spot between supply and demand.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): As the sign of the fish you know that not every mermaid wants to be part of the world on land. Right now you’d rather swim in your grotto and enjoy the special things you’ve collected there.

Sport One week ban for De Jager Springboks lock Lood De Jager has been suspended for a week following a dangerous charge during the 57-15 loss to the All Blacks in Durban.

The 23-year-old pleaded guilty at a Sanzaar judicial hearing to taking out prop Wyatt Crockett without the use of his arms in the 72nd minute.

New Zealand scored three of their nine tries while De Jager was off the field. He will miss South Africa’s next game against the Barbarians at Twickenham on November 5.

Massive bid for Cruden Co-captains Sam Hall and Josh Gill will lead the Ashburton College 1st XI this season.

1st XI up for season-opener

BY NOAH GRAHAM The Ashburton College 1st IX cricket team are strapping on their pads for the start of the season this weekend.

The 1st XI trained last night to prepare for their two games on Saturday and Sunday which will begin their season.

The team will begin their first matches in the Christchurch Metro 1st XI reserve grade against the Christchurch Boys’ High School Colts XI on Satur-

day and the St Thomas of Canterbury College 1st XI on Sunday.

Ashburton College 1st XI coach Mark Reid said the team had just had two weeks off of training for the holidays but before then had been to Australia and played which had prepared them well for the season.

Reid said the team had played a mixture of Twenty20 and oneday games and made sure everybody had a chance to play.

The team will be co-cap-

tained once again this season

by Sam Hall and Josh Gill who did a strong job last season, he said.

Ashburton College 1st XI made the top eight of the Gillette Cup last season and they hope to get there again this year, Reid said.

He said there was a bit of a rivalry between themselves and the Timaru Boys’ High School 1st XI and the boys were looking forward to playing them later in the season.

“They are definitely the team to beat.”

The team had some trouble finishing off teams last year and would try to correct that this season, he said.

Reid said they would have some tough competition this season particularly from the Christchurch teams who had a bigger pool of players to choose from.

However, if the team played well they could give the teams a good go, he said.

Black Caps left staring down the barrel Half-centuries from Gautam Gambhir and Cheteshwar Pujara helped India stretch their overnight lead of 276 by a further 109 runs as New Zealand tried to slow them down with one-day fields in the first session of day four of the third test yesterday.

The pair added 76 for the

second wicket before Gambhir fell for 50 off 56 balls, chipping Jeetan Patel to short extra-cover.

Pujara brought up his fourth fifty of the series in the last over before lunch, going from 45 to 49 with a deft late dab off Patel before scampering a quick single off the next ball.

Gambhir, who had retired hurt with a shoulder injury late on day three, had recovered enough to resume his innings at the fall of M Vijay’s wicket in the eighth over of the morning.

Vijay, looking for a quick single to the left of short extra-cover off Mitchell Santner’s bowling, was caught short of his ground by a

brilliant bit of work from Martin Guptill, who moved swiftly to his left, picked up the ball with his right hand, and backhandflicked it to wicketkeeper BJ Watling.

At lunch India were 577 for 7 dec and 127 for 2 (Pujara 50*, Kohli 2*) leading New Zealand 299 by 385 runs.

Montpellier has received the go ahead from its bosses to prepare a massive bid for out-of-favour All Black first five-eighths Aaron Cruden. French media outlet Midi Olympique reports that the French club will pursue Cruden with what is being described as a “colossal” annual deal worth $1.25m plus bonuses. Cruden was the heir apparent to Dan Carter but Beauden Barrett’s scintillating form in the No. 10 jersey has transformed the All Blacks and there is plenty of backup led by Lima Sopoaga, who has superior goalkicking, and the rising star Damian McKenzie.

Peachey stays at Penrith Tyrone Peachey has re-signed with Penrith in a deal that will keep the utility at the NRL club until at least the end of 2019. The twoyear contract caps off a breakout season for the 25-year-old after his successful transition to centre.

Peachey was called in at round 11 to fill a gap caused by the seasonending injuries to international pair Dean Whare and Peta Hiku, and stayed in the position since. Peachey is the nephew of retired star fullback David Peachey.
