Ashburton will have a council of nine

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

History was made in Ashburton yesterday when the number of people elected to run the Ashburton District was cut from 12 to nine.

The Local Government Commission has upheld a proposal by current councillors to reduce their numbers at this year’s October local body elections, a move that was not universally supported around the council table or in the community.

The change is the most significant made in the council’s structure in many years, with the number set at 12 for the first election after the amalgamation of the Ashburton borough and county councils.

With the commission’s decision known, the council could now move towards the October election knowing what shape it would take, mayor Donna Favel said.

“I’m comfortable and pleased we are reflecting the wishes of the community.

We’ve gone through a democratic process, the question went out to the community and the feedback was there to support the reduced numbers. We now have clarity on those numbers,” she said.

Favel supported cutting numbers to nine from the outset, saying it brought Ashburton into line with most other councils in terms of councillor to resident numbers.

“I trust the nine people who will be elected in October will represent the desires of

Ashburton mayor Donna Favel. the community,” she said.

With smaller numbers, every councillor would have a strong role to play in decision making and in sharing the workload, and there would be some efficiencies in meetings and how they were run, Favel said.

For assuming a larger share of work, councillor remuneration is likely to rise as the funding pool assigned by the commission is population rather than councillor based and that could attract a wider pool of councillor candidates.

That the council’s proposal to cut numbers and to amend ward boundaries slightly (including bringing Lake Hood into the urban ward) was accepted indicated the

council’s process had been robust, she said.

“There was good commonsense used.

We’ve come up with a reasonable suggestion and they agree with this.”

The council began its six-yearly review in December 2017 but the vote to reduce numbers was opposed by three councillors, Selwyn Price, Thelma Bell and Mark Malcolm.

A handful of people lodged objections to the change during the public consultation process but only two – Marion Bartlett and Gordon Mockford – wanted to speak at a public hearing. This was held in March this year.

Support for number cut not universal True representation of a community cannot be achieved if the voices representing that community are reduced, councillor Selwyn Price says.

He opposed cutting councillor numbers from 12 to nine, and while he’s bound to support the final decision, Price said his personal view remains unchanged.

“I’m still totally of the view of improving representation, but how does cutting numbers address this? I thought this was about improving representation but the case was weak. To take away councillors does not improve representation in the district,” he said.

He suggested the reduced number was about convenience more than representation.

Price said he accepted the reduced number would be the status quo for six years, but he still believes the process the council went through in its community consultation was flawed. There were problems with the information given out and problems in the wording of the survey, he said.

The numbers might not have gone the way he had hoped, but Price said that didn’t mean he’d be walking away from the council table come election day.

“I feel personally we’ve made the wrong decision, but that’s only my personal opinion and I’ve been pretty open on this. We have to go along with it now, that’s the democratic process.”

While not prepared to declare his intentions ahead of this year’s elections, Price said the decision to reduce numbers had made him more determined to stand.

Poppy appeal takes to the Ashburton streets

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Red poppies took pride of place on many people around Ashburton yesterday as the annual appeal for Poppy Week took to the streets of the CBD. Close to one dozen members of the Ashburton Cadet Unit combined forces with members of the Ashburton RSA for the day and they lined the streets in search of willing donors who in return were given a poppy to wear.

Funds raised from the Poppy Appeal are held in trust. They are used to help improve the quality of life of current and former servicemen and women and their families affected by their service.

Support ranges from individual grants to alleviate need and hardship (eg re-education, counselling, financial support), through to research to improve health and wellbeing.

In 2018, $1.7 million was raised.

Funds are raised locally and used locally.

One hundred per cent of donations are distributed by RSAs to people in their local areas.

This year the theme of the appeal focuses on the impact of ser-

vice on families.

A statement from RSA said that servicewomen and men often travel for long periods of time.

It can be both scary and unsettling for those left behind. Upon leaving the forces many serving personnel can struggle with mental health and transitioning to civilian life.

This year the appeal is set to recognise the role of the family who, by association, also live through and are impacted by these challenges.

In addition, they involuntarily become the primary support people and as such, make a significant sacrifice.

Approximately 80 per cent of referrals to the RSA support services (a nationwide welfare network) come from friends and family who are concerned about their friend or partner.

The RSA aim to make this easier and ensure service personnel and their families know we are able to help.

Organisers of yesterday’s event were pleased with the day with many people giving generously to the cause. Cadets and minders were on the streets from 9am

in the morning until late into the afternoon with poppies being dished out at a frenetic rate.

Those who missed out on the poppies yesterday will still find

them located at several venues around the Ashburton District and donations can be made to the RSA online through www.rsa.org. nz/donate.

Heather Robertson, Millissa Wills and Colleen Hands were all part of yesterday’s Poppy Appeal.

■■HINDS, MAYFIELD AND GERALDINE SCHOOLS

Backlash over school zone plan

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Hinds and Mayfield school communities are finding themselves in a battle over their senior students with neighbouring Geraldine High School.

And its a battle that’s likely to get worse as schools come to grips with a Ministry of Education imposed enrolment zone for Year 7 to 13 Geraldine High that will remove it as a secondary school option for families in the Ashburton District’s south-west.

The zone threat is creating an element of panic for some parents of Year 7 and 8 students at both schools. They’re moving children

Y DA O T US L L CA

now to ensure they will be ‘inzone’ for their secondary education, says Hinds principal Vicky McIntyre.

Hinds has already lost Year 7 and 8 students to Geraldine, even though official bus routes did not provide for those students to be collected.

Now, with the zone lines still to be signed off there were families who were not prepared to risk missing out on their preferred secondary school, McIntyre said.

“Those families are desperate to get their kids in there and they’re moving them now. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

For years Hinds had tolerat-

ed Geraldine’s intrusion into its catchment and at best, the zone boundaries might create a more even playing field for both schools, McIntyre said.

That intrusion into both the Hinds and Mayfield catchments had been happening for years, and those extra students, as well as others outside their catchment area south of the Rangitata River has pushed Geraldine’s roll up to a point where the MInistry of Education has stepped in with an enrolment zone that will be effective from the start of the 2020 school year.

The new zone will take Geraldine High off the options list for

children at both schools.

The likely zone boundary also sees Peel Forest Carew’s catchment move into the Hinds area and this had been done without any consultation with the Hinds community, McIntyre said.

“We’d certainly like to have some assurances and discussions around this.”

Mayfield School principal Richard Kidd said his school traditionally lost some Year 7 and 8 students with more choosng Geraldine at Year 9 but those choices would largely be lost with the new zone.

“And that’s a shame for some parents as they like the fact that our school is a small school and

Geraldine is a smaller school.”

And for some Geraldine was much closer in terms of travel time, he said.

Traditionally there had always been some fluidity in the area in terms of where students were enrolled and that relied on the schools involved having an open relationship, Kidd said.

“The shame of this is that the boundary lines are drawn from Wellington without any local knowledge and this will definitely disadvantage some of our children,” he said.

Both schools are urging parents to make submissions on the proposed zone.

Time for some new b Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs is leaving behind nine years at the school after facing one of the most difficult decisions of his life – Susan Sandys reports.

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Walking to work on his first day as principal of Mount Hutt College nine years ago, John Schreurs saw a car pull up next to him.

“You must be the new principal,” said the driver.

“Do you want a lift?”

Schreurs and wife Pam were renting a home in the town, so he did not have far to walk, but he accepted the ride anyway, figuring it was the driver’s way of welcoming him to town.

The pair chatted, and there was one thing the man said which has stuck in Schreurs’ mind ever since.

“He made a comment, he said ‘The community is very supportive of the school, all you need to do is ask’.”

That small-community aspect is something Schreurs came to see as a huge feature of the school, as well as part of the very foundation of students’ characters and how they learned.

“I really do believe that our students don’t realise how good they are, in that their potential comes from the fact they are in a small community, they are thinkers, they know how to connect to people of different ages,” he said.

The school’s job was to build on that, and Schreurs said he had been proud of being part of the college’s continuing positive culture.

He was also proud of the key three-word defining phrase which was introduced – Thriving Learning Community.

Something Schreurs remembers from a board meeting is one of the members noting the TLC acronym, something Schreurs delighted in as he thought that in itself summed up part of the Mount Hutt College culture.

“I think there’s a lot of care for individu-

John Schreurs: Resigning was probably the hardest decision he had ever made in his life, as for the first time he was not heading off to another set appointment.

“

I really do believe that our students don’t realise how good they are, in that their potential comes from the fact they are in a small community

als.” Another highlight of his time at the college was the formation of the Opuke Kahui Ako, or Community of Learning, made up of Mount Hutt College and surrounding primary schools.

These communities encompass

groups of education and training providers setting goals to help their students reach full potential.

He was proud of developing understanding of Maori culture and there was still a long way to go with this, as well as development

of students’ voice.

“That’s something we need to continue to look at. That’s linked to the whole idea that teaching is about relationships, if you don’t have strong professional relationships with your students then you are making learning more difficult for them.”

As well as highlights at Mount Hutt College, Schreurs mentions the hard times as well, particularly those that many a principal and teacher never wish to find themselves facing, that of deaths of pupils in tragic circumstances.

It is something which staff cannot help but be affected by emotionally, but key to dealing with any such trauma was to look for support from the Ministry of Education and follow ministry guidelines.

blood and new ideas

John Schreurs: “Being a principal is a people business, with the endless variables that entails, and it’s a busy job and a tiring one.”

The fact is that being a principal is a people business, with the endless variables that entails, and it’s a busy job and a tiring one.

When giving his reason for leaving to the Guardian following announcement of his resignation earlier this year, he said simply “I am not sure if I’ve got the energy”.

“And if I’m thinking like that, then someone with new ideas, new blood, may be well placed to come in and move the school along.”

But Schreurs does not sound defeated, and has a laugh as he describes some of his busiest days.

“One of the things about being a principal is you never know what your day is going to be like. There’s days I haven’t been able to get out of my office, and days I haven’t started what I wanted to do until 5pm, and that’s the nature of the job,” he said.

“Almost every part of the job I enjoy doing, it’s just hard you have to do them all on the same day.”

The 60-year-old dad of two said resigning was probably the hardest decision he had ever made in his life, as for the first time he was not heading off to another set appointment.

He has two terms study leave, continuing study in He Papa Tikanga on evolving cultures, which a number of staff at the school are also undertaking. He will be assisting

the new acting principal throughout this time, considering what his next career step will be, and spending more time with family.

Schreurs grew up in Invercargill, and coming to Methven had reminded him of his country roots. He attended the University of Otago and went to teachers’ college in Christchurch. He taught at Christchurch Boys’ for seven years, Riccarton High for seven years, Cashmere High for seven years, then was at Villa Maria for nine years and served there as deputy principal.

He began at Mount Hutt College in 2011, when the school had a temporary swell in its roll. An extra 50 students enrolled as Christchurch earthquake refugees settled here.

“It was great the way the community opened up and took them in, that just showed the spirit of the area,” Schreurs said.

As well as looking back, Schreurs is looking to the future and is happy for the school as it approaches an exciting new era of projected roll growth.

In doing this, he remembers those words from that friendly driver all those years ago – “All you have to do it ask”.

“Moving forward I would say let’s go to the community and work together more,” Schreurs said.

No date yet for hot pools

By Susan Sandys

Five plaques ready to be placed on five of the Ashburton District’s noteworthy buildings to ensure the history of each is recorded and recognised.

■■HISTORIC BUILDINGS

Plaques ready to be affixed

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Five large, blue plaques will soon be placed on five of the Ashburton District’s oldest buildings, recognising their place in the district’s history.

The plaques are part of an Historic Places Mid Canterbury project that could see up to 30 of the district’s buildings marked as historically significant.

The organisation’s deputy chairman Nigel Gilkison is driving the project and said it is gathering great support from the community.

Plaques have already placed

by Ashburton’s railway overbridge and on Havelock Street’s Pioneer Hall.

Shortly Mill House, the Church of the Holy Name, Federated Farmers Building, Ashburton Courthouse and Hakatere Station will all have their plaques installed.

Marking out history does not come cheaply, Gilkison said, with each plaque costing around $1500. Some of these costs are covered by grants and some by building owners and the community has been very

generous in helping cover installation costs, he said.

The purpose of the plaques is to identify the building as an important piece of local built heritage and to tell the story of why the building is historically significant.

The initiative also aims to raise awareness of the value of retaining and maintaining our existing heritage assets.

Each plaque is 450mm in diameter and is made of cast aluminim with a protective powdercoat finish.

Seven plaques have been

funded to date and funding has been approved for another five later this year, Gilkison said.

“It was important to ensure they were robust enough to last as long as the buildings.”

The blue plaque scheme originated in London, he said, where these were used to recognise places famous people had lived rather than the buildings themselves, he said.

The five plaques will be placed on the buildings they recognise over the next two months, each with a special dedication ceremony.

Methven hot pools developers are not committing to a set opening date as they aim to raise enough money to fund the project.

The Government’s Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) loaned $7.5 million in February, boosting both developers’ coffers and the town’s morale.

But while an opening of winter next year was reported at the time, now the provisional plan is to open in December next year.

Spokesperson James McKenzie said the Methven Adventures Limited development company had reviewed the project timing.

“We are still working on our capital raise, and need to get this fully locked in, before we can commit to an opening date with more certainty,” McKenzie said.

“A December 2020 opening would be ideal for us, from both a construction and operations perspective.”

The $15 million hot pools project is expected to add $162 million to the area’s economy over the next 10 years, as well as create 120 jobs.

Branding is expected to focus around the purity of water sourced from the mountains, and the sustainability of heating coming from the sun.

Shooting victim out of coma The first photo of a 4-year-old girl who survived the Christchurch mosque shootings has emerged since she awoke from a coma.

The picture captures Alen Alsati recovering in Auckland’s Starship Hospital, surrounded by family.

Alen sustained critical injuries when she was shot at the Al Noor mosque on March 15.

She woke from a coma earlier this week after undergoing multiple surgeries.

Her critical injuries include brain damage – but it could be up to six months before doctors can determine what this will mean for Alen in the long term.

Both Alen and her father Wasseim Alsati suffered multiple gunshot injuries at the Al Noor mosque on March 15. Fifty people died in the attacks on two mosques.

In a video taken from Wasseim’s hospital bed, the Christchurch man thanked everyone for their well-wishes.

He also asked that everyone continue to pray for his daughter’s recovery.

“My daughter Alen wake up five days ago and she’s had a lot of surgeries ... seven to eight surgeries,” he said.

“She has brain damage at the moment and the doctor has told

A Givealittle page has been set up for the family as Alsati is hospital-bound, recovering from gunshot wounds to his hip.

The page has raised more than $13,000 since it was set up by a friend of Wasseim’s on Thursday.

Funds raised through the page will go towards financial support for the family as well as ongoing

nursing and medical care for Alen.

Wasseim is currently unable to walk but expects to fully recover.

Despite suffering brain damage, the Givealittle page states that Alen is making daily progress, but cannot currently speak or see people.

Time to sit up, and take notice S

ometimes we are asked why we do what we do in the media world.

Why do you take such glory in showing images of horrific car accidents where people may or may not have lost their lives?

And why do you go chasing emergency services when they head out to an event?

They’re valid questions.

And also ones I’d like the opportunity to publicly answer.

We see it as our role within the community to bring the news and events of the district to the people. It’s a way of keeping people informed and up to date with what is going on around them and it’s also about in some ways trying to educate people too.

We don’t take joy in getting in the car and heading out to a car accident or to something like a house fire. We are humans too, those emotion-charged moments impact on us just like they do so many others.

But we have a moral obligation.

It is our job, so we have to put everything else aside and do our role to the best of our ability to provide as much information as we possibly can to our readers.

Last week’s triple fatality really hit home here in the newsroom.

Some of us have young kids, children as young as those who were sadly killed and others had children at that age. So, trying to imagine what it would have been like to lose children of that age was really a reflective moment for us all.

Today, I’ve decided to run this two page spread on one of the worst weeks on our roads in New Zealand’s history.

Twenty-six people killed.

Twenty-six lives wasted.

Twenty-six people not going home to their loved ones.

It’s not here for sensationalism, but it’s here to hammer home the message that we are far too carefree on our roads in this country.

Our road toll is ridiculously high. Tragically high, in fact.

So, by sharing the stories, albeit small, of those who were killed last week and portraying some of the devastation left at the scene of some of the accidents, my hope is that some will take it on board.

They’ll be that little bit more cautious on the road.

Who knows, it might even save a life.

In brief

Assange hauled from hiding

Spacecraft crashes An Israeli spacecraft crashed into the moon on Thursday just moments before touchdown, failing in an ambitious attempt to make history as the first privately funded lunar landing. The spacecraft lost communication with ground control during its final descent. Moments later, the mission was declared a failure.

“We definitely crashed on the surface of the moon,” said Opher Doron of Israel Aerospace Industries. He said the spacecraft’s engine turned off shortly before landing, and scientists were still trying to figure out the cause. The spacecraft, called Beresheet, was in pieces scattered at the landing site, he said. Doron nonetheless called the mission an “amazing success,” for reaching the moon and coming so close to landing successfully.

Spring blizzard hits

AP British police on Thursday hauled a bearded and shouting Julian Assange from the Ecuadorian Embassy where he was holed up for nearly seven years, and the US charged the WikiLeaks founder with conspiring with former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to get their hands on government secrets.

Police arrested Assange after the South American nation revoked the political asylum that had protected him in the embassy, and he was brought before a British court – the first step in an extradition battle that he has vowed to fight.

Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno said he decided to evict the 47-year-old Assange from the embassy after “repeated violations to international conventions and daily-life protocols,” and he later lashed out at him during a speech in Quito, calling the Australian native a “spoiled brat” who treated his hosts with disrespect.

In Washington, the US Justice Department accused Assange of conspiring with Manning to break into a classified government computer at the Pentagon. The charge was announced after Assange was taken into custody.

Assange took refuge in the embassy in 2012 after he was released on bail in Britain while facing extradition to Sweden on sexual assault allegations that have since been dropped. He refused to leave the embassy, fearing arrest and extradition to the US for publishing classified military and diplomatic cables through WikiLeaks.

Manning, who served several years in prison for leaking troves of classified documents before her sentence was commuted by then-President Barack Obama, is again in custody in Alexandria, Virginia, for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks. Manning’s legal team said the indictment against Assange showed prosecutors didn’t need her testimony and called for her to be released, saying her continued detention would be “purely punitive”.

Over the years, Assange used Ecuador’s embassy as a platform to keep his name before the public, frequently making appearances on its tiny balcony, posing for pictures and reading statements. Even his cat became famous.

But his presence was an embarrassment

to UK authorities, who for years kept a police presence around the clock outside the embassy, costing taxpayers millions in police overtime. Such surveillance was removed in 2015, but the embassy remained a focal point for his activities.

Video posted online by Ruptly, a news service of Russia Today, showed several men in suits pulling a handcuffed Assange out of the embassy and loading him into a police van while uniformed British police formed a passageway. Assange, who shouted and gestured as he was removed, sported a full beard and slicked-back gray hair.

He later appeared in Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where District Judge Michael Snow wasted no time in finding him guilty of breaching his bail conditions, flatly rejecting his assertion that he had not had a fair hearing and a reasonable excuse for not appearing.

Assange waved to the packed public gallery as he was taken to the cells. His next appearance was set for May 2 via prison video-link in relation to the extradition case.

Assange’s attorney, Jennifer Robinson, said he will fight any extradition to the US. “This sets a dangerous precedent for all journalist and media organisations in Europe and around the world,” she said. “This precedent means that any journalist can be extradited for prosecution in the United States for having published truthful information about the United States.”

Asked at the White House about the ar-

rest, President Donald Trump declared, “It’s not my thing,” and “I know nothing about WikiLeaks,” despite praising the anti-secrecy organisation dozens of times during his 2016 campaign.

Assange has been under US Justice Department scrutiny for years for WikiLeaks’ role in publishing government secrets. He was an important figure in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe as investigators examined how WikiLeaks obtained emails that were stolen from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and Democratic groups.

WikiLeaks quickly drew attention to US interest in Assange and said that Ecuador had illegally terminated Assange’s political asylum “in violation of international law”.

“Powerful actors, including CIA, are engaged in a sophisticated effort to de-humanise, de-legitimise and imprison him,” the group said in a tweet over a photo of Assange’s smiling face.

But in Assange’s native Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Australian Broadcasting Corp he had no plans to intervene in the case as the charge was a “matter for the United States” and had nothing to do with Australia.

Ecuadorian officials suggested Assange’s own behavior was to blame.

Interior Minister Maria Paula Romo said Assange’s mental and physical health worsened while he was holed up, and he began to act aggressively toward his hosts, including smearing faeces on the walls of the embassy.

Basher jailed A man has been jailed for bashing a Melbourne resident with a tin of food in front of the victim’s two children. Jal Myaker, 20, was yesterday sentenced to twoand-a-half years in prison, with a non-parole period of 15 months, for assaulting a Richmond resident who had filmed Myaker and a 17-year-old speeding down his street. Myaker was a passenger in the car and attacked the resident as one of his children whimpered “are you going to die, daddy?

Please don’t die, daddy,” County Court judge Christopher Ryan said.

The father-of-two was walking back home with his children on July 13, 2018 when he saw a car speeding down the street and started filming.

President ousted Sudan President Omar al-Bashir has been overthrown in a military coup, but protesters’ jubilation was short-lived as they took to the streets demanding military leaders hand over power to civilians. Bashir, 75, has faced 16 weeks of demonstrations against his presidency after having ruled Sudan in autocratic style for 30 years. Announcing the ouster yesterday, Defence Minister Awad Mohamed Ahmed Ibn Auf said Sudan would enter a two-year period of military rule to be followed by presidential elections.

Speaking on state television, he said Bashir was being detained in a “safe place” and a military council would now run the country. Ibn Auf, who Bashir appointed first vice president in February as the protests intensified, will head the military council, state TV said late yesterday.

Dark web kingpin in custody AAP An alleged NSW dark web kingpin has been hit with fresh charges two months after his lavish lifestyle — protected for years by encryption and aliases — came to an end when he was placed in handcuffs.

The re-arrest came as Australian researchers reveal the country is “on the brink of a new opioid epidemic” largely due to shadowy digital marketplaces.

Cody Ward, 25, was arrested in February after NSW Police began unravelling a sophisticated and large-scale drug network which they traced to the state’s south coast.

Investigators say the baby-faced Ward, allegedly known to customers and authorities only by the pseudonym NSWGreat, had made millions of dollars posting drugs to thousands of customers.

Cryptocurrency accounts allegedly linked to Ward had $17 million worth of transactions.

Australian Federal Police were working to unmask NSWGreat even as he granted interviews to reporters and the public through encrypted programs.

“You’re essentially gambling with your life, but the odds are in your favour,” a Reddit user identifying themselves as NSWGreat wrote in 2015.

“The Darknet is amazing, its (sic) changing the drug scene for the better. Its (sic) taking away the violence and the dangers that are inherit (sic) with buying drugs.”

NSWGreat discussed how to buy and ship drugs as well as launder money. He said he didn’t buy assets to remain off the radar of tax authorities.

But NSWGreat admitted to reporters he was living large and, in February, NSW Police raided Ward’s beachside Shoalhaven property.

They allegedly found MDMA, 2.5 kilograms of cocaine, amphetamine, 100,000 LSD tabs, Xanax disguised as candy, pills, $80,000 cash, laptops, money counters, a Lexus, a Mercedes-Benz and a Ford Falcon while a Maserati sat in his front yard.

Heard seeks dismissal

Cody Ward has been arrested again as drug network revealed.

Ward and two Sydney women were charged with drug supply.

Police allege the women, sisters aged 24 and 20, helped package and post Ward’s drugs across the country.

The Maserati was stolen from Ward’s home, dumped in bushland and set on fire in the days following his arrest, a police source told AAP yesterday.

Even with the suspects in custody more packages of drugs continued to arrive from overseas addressed to the syndicate for some time, the source said.

Detectives re-arrested Ward in Goulburn prison on Tuesday this week, charging him with drug importation offences.

He did not apply for bail at Nowra Local Court yesterday and will face the same court on May 31.

An Australian National University report has revealed vendors are using hid-

den online marketplaces to sell millions of doses of potent drugs every day.

“We are on the brink of a new opioid epidemic driven by synthetics like fentanyl and carfentanil that are driving a greater risk of overdose deaths,” lead author Professor Roderic Broadhurst said in a statement.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid 100 times more powerful than morphine. It’s responsible for a growing number of deaths in the US. Elephant sedative carfentanil is 10,000 times more powerful than morphine and there are billions of doses circulating on the six dark web markets ANU observed in January and February.

The extreme potency of these synthetic drugs means only tiny and difficult to detect amounts are shipped through the post from the dark web to anonymous customers.

■■SOUTH KOREA

Babies share communal birthday AP Just two hours after Lee Dong Kil’s daughter was born on New Year’s Eve, the clock struck midnight, 2019 was ushered in, and the infant became 2-years-old. She wasn’t alone, though it happened for her quicker than most: Every baby born in South Korea last year became 2 on January 1.

According to one of the world’s most unusual age-calculating systems, South Korean babies become 1 on the day of their birth and then get an additional year tacked on when the calendar hits January 1. A lawmaker is working now to overturn the centuries-old tradition amid complaints that it’s an anachronistic, time-wasting custom that drags down an otherwise ultramodern country.

For parents whose babies are born in December, it can be especially painful.

One hour after his daughter’s birth in the central city of Daejeon at 10pm on December 31 of last year, Lee posted the news on social media. His friends immediately showered him with congratulatory messages.

“An hour later, when the New Year began, they phoned me again to say congratulations for my baby becoming 2

years old,” said Lee, who is 32 internationally but 34 in South Korea. “I thought, ‘Ah, right. She’s now 2 years old, though it’s been only two hours since she was born.

What the heck!’”

The origins of this age reckoning system aren’t clear. Being one upon birth may be linked to the time babies spend in their mothers’ wombs or to an ancient Asian numerical system that didn’t have the concept of zero.

Becoming a year older on January 1?

That’s even harder to explain.

It could be that ancient Koreans cared a

lot about the year in which they were born in the Chinese 60-year cycle, but, without regular calendars, didn’t care much about the specific day they were born; so they mostly ignored the day of their birth and instead marked another year of age on the day of the Lunar New Year, according to senior curator Jung Yonhak at the National Folk Museum of Korea.

This may have then shifted to the solar New Year on January 1 as the South began embracing the Western calendar.

North Korea uses the Western age calculating system, but they have a twist: they follow their own calendar that’s based on the birth of national founder and president-for-life Kim Il Sung.

The year of your birth is still incredibly important in South Korea, and lumps those linked children together for life.

Other Asian countries, including Japan and Vietnam, abandoned the Chinese-style age system amid an influx of Western culture. Officially, South Korea has used Western-style calculations since the early 1960s. But its citizens still embrace the old-fashioned system in their daily lives because the government has done little to get people to change over to the Western style.

Actress Amber Heard has asked a judge to dismiss a $50 million defamation lawsuit her ex-husband Johnny Depp filed over an op-ed about domestic violence she wrote in The Washington Post. In the motion filed in court, Heard reiterates her allegations that Depp abused her before and during their marriage and includes exhibits such as photos of her with bruises on her face and scars on her arms, images of damage she says Depp did to their home, screenshots of text messages describing the incidents at the time, and excerpts of her divorce deposition describing domestic abuse.

Dalai Lama on the mend The Dalai Lama says he feels “normal, almost normal” after leaving a New Delhi hospital where he was treated for a chest infection. The 83-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader spoke after he was discharged yesterday. He had been hospitalised on Tuesday after leaving Dharmsala to consult with doctors in the capital. He is likely to return this week to the north Indian hill town that has been his headquarters since he fled Tibet in 1959 following a failed uprising against Chinese rule. The Dalai Lama usually spends several months a year travelling the world to teach Buddhism and highlight the Tibetans’ struggle for greater freedom in China.

Surprise MAFS salaries They might be starring on Australian TV’s most successful show but that doesn’t mean the stars of Married At First Sight are raking in millions. According to one of last year’s contestants MAFS stars Jessika Power and Ines Basic would be making a rather modest pay packet despite their attention-grabbing antics. Telv Williams, who was “married” to Sarah Roza last year, revealed in an Instagram question and answer session the “s**t” pay contestants make. “You get paid $150 dollars a day, tax free. It’s s**t, it’s rubbish.”

Masjid open day opportunity for all I

f events of the past few weeks have left you feeling a little more than curious about how some other religions and ethnic groups go about their most sacred times, then tomorrow is a wonderful opportunity for you.

They’ve been through far more than any group deserves to in the wake of what happened in Christchurch almost a month ago, but members of our own Muslim community will tomorrow open their doors and allow the Ashburton community in to see and learn what it’s all about.

The opportunity is a great chance to further foster those already blossoming connections between the Muslim community and the rest of us here in the

Ashburton District. Tragic events have brought us closer than ever before, and it’s our combined job to ensure the rope that ties us together doesn’t begin to fray.

Don’t be fooled either, this is no PR stunt, but more a kind gesture by an often ostracised portion of the community who wish to build on the relationships established and be on hand to answer any

questions that people might have.

As one who has never set foot in the Ashburton Masjid, I’m excited to head along on Sunday and see and learn a little more.

What unfolded in Christchurch has made me develop a strong interest in the beliefs and rituals of the Muslim faith – not in a sense that I want to become a Muslim, but more so I have a much better understanding.

It’s something that we could all perhaps do a little more and events this week have shown that we have a long way to go yet.

There’s been plenty said and written about Australian rugby star, Israel Folau this week and his homophobic social media post.

The incredibly talented sports-

man has lost his job with Australian Rugby and effectively been snubbed by the National Rugby League.

Just what his next move is remains very uncertain.

Folau has his beliefs and he feels very strongly about them.

But his acceptance of others’ beliefs and preferences is where he has landed himself in hot water. He’s entitled to an opinion, but as an iconic figure in Australian sport his actions have really left officials with no choice but to shut the door on his time with them.

His message is fine in his own space and mind – but in this day and age it’s not really something that should be brought into the

public sphere.

And that’s where he went wrong.

Had he carried on holding his strong beliefs but kept them private and not aired them on social media then everything would have been fine.

Instead he put it out there and what came back wasn’t very popular.

Only he can tell whether what has happened was the right thing for him or not.

But it does show that although we might feel like we are making progress as a society when it comes to acceptance and understanding of other people’s beliefs, it’s very clearly evident that we still have a very long way to go.

n Britain, the tangled web that is Brexit remains knotted and twisted, impervious to all attempts to unravel it.

Embattled – as are all MPs from time to time, however illustrious their position in the hierarchy – Theresa May, commutes, remorselessly, to and from Brussels, and almost every other European capital, in an increasingly vain search for a face-saving formula enabling Britain to leave the European Union with heads aloft and the nation’s finances still in the black.

Significant dates come and go as May, these days, spends day after day negotiating with her 26 European partners for yet another time extension before the blade of separation falls finally on that country many of her EU colleagues like to call, “perfidious Albion” (particularly the French) and casts it adrift on a sea of still-unresolved uncertainty.

Latest news on that particular issue: now a stay of execution until October 31.

It has become blindingly obvious over these tortuous years, when the guileless David Cameron dropped the ball, with such disastrous consequences, it led not just to a lost scrum feed but to the loss of all hope of victory.

In a moment of over-confident madness he offered his countrymen and women a referendum on Britain’s future in the EU which, to his horror and astonishment, brought down upon him “perfidious” Brexit, an outcome thought by all political gurus at the time, down to the last man, woman and child, as out of the question.

There being no Plan B, the gilded Cameron slunk away to his rich man’s castle, leaving the fully unprepared May to sort out the shambles bequeathed her by “Doolally” David.

The rest is recent history.

EYE ON POLITICS

Agreement between British politicians of either main Party are as rare as they are with the nations beyond the English Channel, which explains why May, having lost innumerable votes in the Commons – some of them by enormous margins – remains “in power” (if shakily).

In the past, a single such defeat would bring down the government and lead to a re-shuffle of Ministers or even a general election.

In this unique situation, however, no one wants the job of PM for fear of it turning out to be one of the shortest tenures in history. Thus, May marches on, with a long, hot summer ahead of her, during which she must continue to seek the Brexit magic bullet.

Meanwhile, in the United States, Trump continues his campaign of invective, insult and, as described by Senator Bernie Sanders, “pathological lying”. That he has brought low the hitherto, unchallenged dignity of America, is beyond question.

On the wider scale, it is the tragedy of our times. Tradition and decency have been swamped by a wave vituperation and abuse.

Back in Aotearoa, New Zealand, the National Party continues to fall further behind Labour, though Labour’s two coalition (fragile) props, Green and NZ First, are nowhere to be seen electorally, both well below the political cut of 5 per cent.

Having, from the start, been relentlessly anti-immigrant, the recent events in Christchurch, must have led to some serious soul-searching by Winston Peters and his henchmen.

With a significant plank of their platform swallowed in a surge of love and good feeling toward such people, I imagine the party manifesto is being hastily

re-written.

Immigrants have lost their NZ First-assumed unpopularity so new ways must be found to extract votes from a less friendly society.

The council already has space for an information centre!

I recently stopped at the i-Site Centre in Oamaru where two busloads of tourists had just arrived. Some were queued for public facilities and more seeking tourist information.

Do ratepayers want to visit the council administration centre on business relating to the core function of council, as well as mixing and mingling with tourists seeking information on ac-

commodation and using public amenities?

The information centre on East Street is still available for development as an information centre, where there is ample room for the presentation of brochures to support the tourist and local community and more importantly it is in the heart of the CBD therefore bringing potential customers into this area.

There are also public amenities nearby for tourists and locals to use. The council should be en-

couraging the development of the information ventre as a local community infrastructure in the heart of the CBD to support and service the increasing number of visitors to the town rather than “creating space” in the new civic centre.

Once again, I ask that the council seek and consider options to support the development of the information centre for the purpose for which it was designed – information.

Landlord left with $60,000 meth bill Isaac Davison NZME

An Auckland landlord thought they had an open-and-shut case when they tried to get compensation from their tenant for methamphetamine contamination.

They were so confident of a ruling in their favour that they spent $60,000 in decontamination and restoration at their property in Army Bay, Whangaparaoa.

The tenancy ended in October after the tenant was arrested on methamphetamine charges. The property, valued at $950,000, had tested positive for “exceedingly high” levels of methamphetamine contamination.

But their bid to claim their money back failed.

In an increasingly common occurrence, the Tenancy Tribunal said last week that the landlords had not proven that it was the most recent tenant who caused the damage.

“The property had also been tenanted prior to these tenants taking occupation,” the adjudicator John Hogan said. “And there was no baseline test provided by the landlord confirming that the property was not contaminated when this tenancy began.”

City Space Realty property manager Michael Chen, who looked after the property, said he could not comment as there was ongoing legal action.

The case is part of the ongoing fallout from the $100 million meth-testing debacle. It is one of a string of recent cases in which landlords have failed to meet the test for meth-related compensation.

A report by the former Chief Science Advisor Sir Peter Gluckman last May debunked the official meth testing standard, saying there was no risk to health at that level of meth residue – or even 10 times higher.

The report said there was no point testing for homes where meth use was suspected, and that tests should only be carried out if police believed meth had been cooked at the property.

In response, the Tenancy Tribunal began requiring a higher level of contamination for damage claims – unless there was “exceptional evidence” that a house has been used as a clan lab.

Before the Gluckman report, tenants were evicted and fined for even the tiniest trace of meth residue – which was later found to

Methamphetamine is overall the most harmful illegal narcotic consumed in New Zealand and is entering the country in unprecedented amounts thanks to the influence of Mexican cartels.

The Government’s $41 billion sovereign wealth fund has ditched all its investments in companies which produce semi-automatic weapons.

The NZ Superannuation Fund now has no involvement with companies that manufacture automatic and semi-automatic firearms, magazines or parts prohibited under New Zealand’s new gun laws.

The fund announced yesterday it would divest almost $20 million of investments in seven gun companies.

These include American Outdoor Brands Corporation, Daicel Corporation and Richemont – which, with $16 million invested,

made up the bulk of the total figure.

The move comes just a day after the new gun laws came into effect.

Under the new law, most semi-automatic firearms and some pump action shotguns, as well as certain large-capacity magazines, have been banned.

The Super Fund’s chief executive, Matt Whineray, said the fund moved swiftly to review its exclusion policy following the announcement of the Government’s intention to introduce gun control legislation.

He said the Super fund had worked with its external service provider, MSCI ESG Research, to identify companies captured by the new exclusion category.

He said the fund’s exclusion list

is updated every six-months and, as such, “it is possible that more companies will be identified for exclusion in the future”.

As well as the gun companies, the Superfund’s exclusion list includes companies that make landmines, nuclear explosives, tobacco, recreational cannabis and whale meat.

Eight days after the March 15 terror attack in Christchurch, the Superfund announced it was reviewing its exposure to gun-related investments.

“We are working as quickly as possible to make this happen and expect that our internal processes will be complete by the time the Government’s legislation is in place,” a spokeswoman for the fund said at the time.

A cross-party trip to Africa led by Speaker Trevor Mallard could lay the groundwork for a boon in Africa-NZ trade in the decades ahead.

The group, including National MPs Nick Smith and Nicky Wagner, Green MP Gareth Hughes and Labour MP Angie Warren-Clark, will spend about a week in Ethiopia and Rwanda, and then travel to Gallipoli for Anzac Day commemorations.

Mallard said the cost of the 13day trip was so far “tracking well under” its budget of $164,000.

The Turkey leg of the trip has taken on renewed importance

since the March 15 terrorist attacks in Christchurch; Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan used the gunman’s video at election rallies and then, referring to the Anzacs at Gallipoli, said that anyone visiting Turkey for anti-Muslim reasons would be returned “in coffins”, as their grandfathers were.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Winston Peters travelled to a special meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation in Istanbul to assure Muslim leaders that New Zealand was a country that embraced its Muslim community.

Mallard said the trip to Africa was his own initiative and followed

advice that New Zealand should establish more frequent relations with African countries.

“The advice when I first came to be Speaker from [former Deputy Prime Minister and former Foreign Minister] Don McKinnon was that there are lots of places where New Zealand has links only when we want something.

“One of the roles of the Speaker can be to develop or reinforce links which otherwise would be very thin. There’s no doubt in the longer term, because the GDP is increasing quite rapidly in a number of African countries, good contacts now make a lot of difference in 20 to 30 years.”

■■ ATHLETICS

Busch wins Aussie shot put title

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Jaidyn Busch has blown her previous best effort out of the water on her way to claiming one of the biggest titles of her young athletics career in Australia.

The win at the Australian National Championships last week was a big moment in the career of the 17-year-old shot putter from Hinds, and the icing on the cake at the end of a massive season.

But for Busch it wasn’t all about the medal she brought home.

She was over the moon to claim that Australian crown, but for her the fact she threw a new personal best to do it was probably the bigger achievement.

Heading into the meet, Busch’s previous best throw this season was 13.39 metres, and she won the event with a throw of 14.38 metres – almost a metre further.

Of her six throws during the competition, she beat her previous personal best with three of them.

The throws topped off a big few days.

On the Saturday, Busch was in Nelson at the South Island Secondary Schools’ Championships where she broke the South Island under-19 record with the 3kg shot, with a throw of 16.21 metres.

She arrived home on the Sunday, and on the Monday flew out for the Australia championships where the competition was with a 4kg shot.

The under-20 competition took place on the Tuesday and Busch had been considering competing in the senior women’s section too, but that wasn’t until the Saturday, and in the end she decided not to wait around.

Had she stuck around though, and had she thrown the same

distance again, it would have been enough to see her finish second in the senior women’s competition.

Two weeks before those competitions, Busch competed at the nationals and finished second in

the under-20 shot put, and third in the senior women’s shot put.

It was a string of top results to finish a season during which Busch had put a lot of work into her rotation in the circle, and it was paying off.

But now, the season has come to an end and Busch was turning her attention to her other sporting love – rugby.

A member of the girls’ rugby team at her school – Christchurch Girls’ High School

– and an integral part of the Canterbury under-17 side over the past couple of years, Busch will combine rugby with athletics training over the winter to ensure she hits the ground running next summer.

Moore’s amazing comeback ‘was never in doubt’ NZME A British tennis player has produced a miraculous comeback from a seemingly impossible positon.

And it has reminded people of the game’s greatest comeback, achieved at the US Open.

At 0-6, 0-5 and 30-40 down, Tara

Moore was in a fair bit of strife against Jessika Ponchet in an ITF tournament in Sunderland.

She needed a bit of luck to save that match point, her overhead shot hitting the net cord before landing inside the line.

That’s when the rally started and Brit No. 9 Moore, ranked at 479 in the world, went on to win

the match 0-6, 7-6 (7), 6-3 over her much higher ranked French opponent.

Moore joked on social media that the comeback was “never in doubt”.

Moore’s feat is not the greatest comeback however.

That accolade probably belongs to American teenager Bar-

bie Bramblett who was down 0-6, 0-5, 0- 40 against Ann Hulbert in a 1983 US Open qualifier.

She saved 18 match points to go on and win that contest.

“Obviously I thought the match was over, and I was so embarrassed,” said Bramblett, reflecting on the game nearly 30 years later.

“So I started swinging out on

the ball, and my game elevated miraculously. I mean it was a literal miracle. Every ball I hit skidded on the line. I couldn’t believe what was happening.”

Other great comebacks include the 1987 classic, when American legend Jimmy Connors beat Swede Mikael Pernfors after trailing 1-6, 1-6, 1-4.

■■ NETBALL

College ready for fellow school sides

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Day two of Canterbury’s inter-centre netball competition is set to provide a good early-season test for Ashburton College A tomorrow.

When play gets under way at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre at 9.30am, the Ashburton College A side will be one of the first on court, and one of only a handful of teams looking to maintain their unbeaten record from the first day last Sunday.

Their two opposing teams on the competition’s second and final day are two fellow high school teams, and for College A coach Kaye Kennedy that’s a good thing.

This season Ashburton College have to fight for their spot in the Canterbury secondary schools’ SuperNet competition, so tomorrow’s two games will be a good test to see where they’re at against some other school sides.

Ashburton College finished sixth in SuperNet’s top grade last year and the bottom three teams – which included Ashburton College A – from that grade and the top three from the reserve grade last year have to play off for the right to play in the top grade this season.

Those games will take place in May. Ashburton College A will take on Craighead A in game one today and Rangiora High School’s A side in their second game.

Also on court first thing tomorrow are two other Mid Canterbury sides, Hampstead A and Celtic A, who will square off against each other.

Celtic won the Mid Canterbury premier one competition last sea-

son but had a slow start to the inter-centre competition’s opening day, beaten by Christchurch’s Kia Toa, but found their feet to beat Timaru’s Old Boys A. After Hampstead, Celtic will take on Marist Albion, while Hampstead’s second game of the day will be against Timaru’s Harlequins A – a side which last week featured a couple of familiar Ashburton faces in Kayla Frew and Makayla Cromie.

Kia Toa also had two former Ashburton players in their shooting circle on day one – Sophie Beveridge and Chelsea Corbett – and they’re one of the sides unbeaten so far.

They will take on Rangiora High School and Craighead A tomorrow.

The runners-up in last season’s Mid Canterbury Netball premier grade competition, Methven A, will take on Old Boys A and Rolleston tomorrow, having picked up a draw and a loss on day one.

The remaining premier one games on day two will see another unbeaten side in Selwyn’s Broadfield A take on Harlequins A and Old Boys A. Mid Canterbury has two teams competing in the premier two grade, and one of them – United A – will be a team on a mission tomorrow as they go hunting for a win.

They will take on Marist Albion, before playing UC A. UC A picked up two wins on day one, including one over Mid Canterbury’s other premier two side, Southern A. Tomorrow Southern A will take on Villa Maria, while in other premier two games Technical B will play both UC A and Villa Maria.

Some right battles were fought out on day one of netball’s inter-centre competition, and all of the teams will be back for more tomorrow at the EA Networks Centre.

LeBron missing from finals conversation

Shock resignation

AP

NZME

The Golden State Warriors are set to begin their quest for a third straight title, and this time it’s up to someone else to try to stop them.

With LeBron James gone to the West and this year gone entirely from the postseason, the Eastern Conference headquarters for the NBA Finals won’t be in his home for the first time since 2010.

He played for the title for eight straight years, which may have been great for the TV ratings but lately wasn’t much good for the competition. The Warriors swept Cleveland last year after winning 4-1 in 2017.

Teams are lining up to seize his old spot atop the East, all capable of providing the intrigue that was absent the last couple years.

There’s Milwaukee, with Giannis Antetokounmpo in position to exit June fully atop the NBA with a title and an MVP award.

Or Toronto, humiliated by the

Cavaliers in the last two years but armed now with a former NBA Finals MVP in Kawhi Leonard.

It could be Philadelphia, with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons anchoring perhaps the most talented starting five outside of the Bay Area.

And don’t forget Boston, the presumptive East favourite in the preseason that can still live up to expectations.

The best player is gone, but maybe things will be better.

“I think the parity and the competition in the East, and not knowing and everyone having a sincere chance maybe in the East that did not, when not you look between Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia,” TNT analyst Chris Webber said.

“All of those story lines, new young stars that’s coming in.”

The long road to get to the finals begins with four games, including the top-seeded Warriors against the Los Angeles Clippers in the West. No. 2 Denver faces No. 7 San Antonio in the other West opener,

LeBron James while No. 3 Philadelphia meets No. 6 Brooklyn, and No. 2 Toronto takes on No. 7 Orlando in the East.

On Monday, the overall No. 1 seed Bucks face No. 8 Detroit, and No. 4 Boston hosts No. 5 Indiana in the East.

In the West, No. 3 Portland and No. 6 Oklahoma City meet in a matchup of Northwest Division rivals, and No. 4 Houston and No. 5

Utah square off in the opener of a series between two of the strongest teams in the second half of the season.

It’s the start of postseason that looks different far beyond just the absence of James for the first time since 2005.

It includes Denver, in the playoffs for the first time since 2013.

Brooklyn is a playoff team for the first time since 2015 and Orlando is back for the first time since 2012.

The Warriors, of course, haven’t just been going to the postseason every year, but getting all the way to the finals once they do.

They’ve done that four straight years, winning three of them, and with a strong finish after some occasional lapses surged to the best record in the West.

Still, this playoff path could provide them plenty of obstacles.

“It doesn’t matter who you play in the playoffs, you’re going to get tested.

“Everybody’s good,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said.

Wellington Phoenix head coach Mark Rudan has rocked the club by informing them that he won’t be back next season.

The Australian, who turned the Phoenix around since taking over from Darije Kalezic last year, will walk away halfway through his two-year deal – despite the club’s best efforts to retain him.

The Herald understands Rudan has been unwilling to discuss the situation with the club over the last month and has recently informed them that he is leaving.

Rudan’s future has been the subject of much speculation since the start of this year, as he has struggled with being isolated from his Sydney-based family, and the Phoenix have been trying to put together a package to convince Rudan to stay.

■■ RUGBY

Big challenge awaits Southern

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

His side has won two-from-two to begin the combined country cup rugby competition and is sitting at the top of the pool A table, but Southern coach Andrew Carr isn’t getting ahead of himself.

He knows that each week is a test, and those tests possibly won’t come much harder this season than the one that’s in front of Southern today.

Today, they’re off to Tai Tapu to take on the defending Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Cup champions Waihora, the team just one point behind them on the pool A points table after two games.

Southern has taken bonus points from both of its opening wins over Burnham-Dunsan-

del-Irwell and Ashley, while Waihora has picked up two wins but only one bonus point, and the two sides head into today’s clash off the back of two very different victories.

Southern romped home 64-7 over Ashley last weekend, while Waihora found themselves with a right fight on their hands at Kaiapoi, eventually running out 21-8 winners.

Southern coach Andrew Carr said while he’s happy with where his side’s at, and how they’ve performed so far, it’s a case of taking it one game at a time.

“Obviously we’ve got a pretty tough two or three weeks ahead of us,” Carr said.

After Waihora, Southern face a local derby against improvers Hampstead before heading to

Darfield for what is likely to be another tight battle.

Hampstead are the team that will probably be the most disappointed if they don’t win today.

In fact if Hampstead don’t bounce back from a disappointing loss and big backwards step in Dunsandel last week, to beat Ashley today, it’ll pretty much be disaster in coach Shaun Bovey’s books.

Speaking after last weekend’s loss to Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell, Bovey said winning is the only option today.

“That’s a game that we have got to win, so we’ve got five days to turn our attitudes around and come out and play like we did last week,” Bovey said.

“We’ve got to make a statement and get a win, and get

some more points on the board.”

Ashley are currently shaping up to be the early wooden spoon contenders.

In the first two rounds, their points for and against read just seven for, and 129 against.

One of two Mid Canterbury teams yet to notch up a win after two rounds, Hampstead will be at home against Ashley today, while the other local team yet to post a win – Methven – are away from home today to Rolleston, a side last week beaten by Rakaia, in pool B. Methven headed to Cheviot last week with hopes high of a win, after coming close to downing Southbridge in round one.

Instead they came home with a 45-0 loss to their names, and will be determined to turn

things around in Rolleston.

Rakaia are also on the road today, heading to Springston to take on a side sitting on top of the table with Glenmark-Cheviot, having taken maximum points from their first two games.

Meanwhile in pool C, Celtic will also be hunting for their second win of the season when they host Saracens.

Today’s other games see Darfield host Kaiapoi, and BDI host Hornby in pool A, while in pool B Glenmark-Cheviot will be looking to make it three-fromthree at home against Ohoka, and Southbridge will host Prebbleton in a crossover match between pool B and C. In pool C’s remaining match, Lincoln will today play host to Oxford.

Special trophy goes Would you drink a Boomfa? on the line at Celtic Celtic and Rakaia’s senior B rugby sides will battle it out today for a trophy in memory of a man who turned out for both clubs during his playing days.

The Larry Langley Memorial Trophy will go on the line when the two sides run out onto the field at Celtic today.

Langley’s rugby playing days began as a schoolboy for Rakaia, but when he moved to Ashburton in 1983 he began playing for Celtic.

For Celtic he played senior and senior B, and coached the senior B side, and in more recent years he’d enjoyed heading along to Celtic as a spectator, watching his son-in-law Tim Reid playing for his beloved club.

Langley passed away in 2016 at the age of just 55, after a short but courageous battle with can-

cer, and his family said he would be extremely humbled and honoured to know that a trophy was now being played for in his honour.

That game will kick off at 1pm at Celtic, while in other senior B action around the district today in the Michael Duff Memorial Trophy round, Allenton will host Southern, Collegiate host Mt Somers, and Hampstead are at home to Methven.

In other Celtic news, the club’s first women’s team will be looking to bounce back from a not so good first outing in the Canterbury Metro women’s championship where they went down 97-0 to Lincoln University.

This week they’ll head to Kaiapoi to take on a Kaiapoi side which picked up a win in round one, 22-17 against Marist Albion.

New Zealanders could soon get a taste of one of Justin Marshall’s trademark catchphrases.

Literally.

The former All Blackturned-rugby-commentator is considering unleashing “Boomfa” beer, named after his famous saying.

In January, the 81-cap halfback registered the trademark Boomfa, but according to his business partner, Aaron O’Donnell, the concept was very much in its infancy and no final decision had been made to proceed.

“We are at the stage of identifying a brewing partner, distribution partners and capital partners,” O’Donnell said.

O’Donnell said the offering would be mainstream and not craft.

Yes, Boy was another one of the brands being considered.

The partners also envisaged a charitable element, with a per-

centage of profits aimed at developing grassroots sport – not just rugby – in New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.

“We think that there is an opportunity to do that in a meaningful way,” O’Donnell said.

Marshall and O’Donnell expect to make a decision on whether to

proceed with the concept by the end of May. If it gets the go-ahead, they hope to have it ready for this year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan.

The 45-year-old Southlander explained the origin of the word Boomfa, which he has made a regular fixture in his rugby commentary.

“It came from Mataura when I was watching club rugby,” Marshall told TAB’s Staf Chat podcast.

“It’s not a word, obviously, we know that ... Yeah, you won’t find it in the dictionary.

“When I was watching club rugby, watching my dad play, we used to always sit in the hedge.

When someone got absolutely smashed, all the kids would go ‘oh Boomfa!’. It was part of my childhood as I grew up.

“Whenever I saw a massive tackle or a huge collision, it would just come out of my mouth ‘Boomfa!’”

■■RUGBY

Rise and fall of Folau NZME If this truly is the end of the road for Israel Folau in Australian rugby, his car crash-style exit will have been as swift and spectacular as his rise was meteoric.

Few could have imagined the extraordinary career Folau would enjoy when he made his NRL debut as a teenager at the Melbourne Storm in 2007.

In little more than a decade, the precocious talent set endless records and achieved unparalleled honours while becoming the first player to compete in the NRL, AFL and Super Rugby competitions.

From the moment he bagged Melbourne’s match-winning try on his NRL debut – as the Storm’s youngest-ever player – Folau was a sensation in rugby league.

He finished the 2007 season as a grand final winner, Dally M rookie of the year and the competition’s equal top try-scorer.

That was just the start.

Folau then rounded out 2007 by collecting another double while, at 18 years and 194 days, deposing Brad Fittler as the youngest player ever to represent Australia in a test match in a 58-0 rout of New Zealand.

In 2008, Folau, typically, scored on his Queensland debut before notching another double and being named man of the match in the Maroons’ series-deciding win over NSW. In 2009, the try-scoring freak scored on debut for Brisbane, then stole the show by soaring above his ex-Melbourne team-mates to claim a decisive four-pointer in a thrilling Broncos win over the Storm.

There was simply no stopping him.

By the time he’d left the NRL after four incredible seasons, Folau had played in two grand finals, two State of Origin series wins, eight tests for Australia and set several try-scoring benchmarks.

In brief Old Golds get a shot The train will lead to Oamaru in July for Otago supporters. The Otago Rugby Football Union has confirmed the side’s second preseason game will be against North Otago in Oamaru on July 26. Otago will play Thames Valley in Wanaka on July 13 in its first pre-season Ranfurly Shield challenge and North Otago will be its second opponent. The game will be played at Whitestone Contracting Stadium, kicking off at 2.05pm.

North Otago chief executive Colin Jackson said North Otago was delighted to be given the chance to challenge for the shield in Oamaru.

Folau to fight for career Israel Folau is fighting for his rugby career. The Daily Telegraph have reported that Folau has met with Rugby Australia officials, including Raelene Castle, in a desperate attempt to keep his career alive. However, according to the report, Rugby Australia are refusing to budge, and are still set to use all their power to terminate his four-year contract. Folau has the right to go through a code of conduct hearing before Rugby Australia can officially terminate his contract, and according to the Daily Telegraph, he intends to take part in the process.

- NZME

Blues to start AB stars

Israel Folau has blotted his copybook in what appears to be a terminal fashion.

And he was still only 21 years old.

His two fleeting seasons in the AFL were hardly as successful, with Folau kicking two goals in 13 appearances for expansion club Greater Western Sydney.

But the trailblazing codehopper still departed several million dollars richer.

Shrewdly secured by thenNSW Waratahs coach Michael Cheika, Folau continued his record-setting exploits in rugby.

In 2014, the Minto-born marvel became the first player to top the try-scoring charts in both an NRL and Super Rugby season while helping pilot the Waratahs to a drought-breaking maiden premiership.

He topped the list again in 2016 before last Saturday becoming Super Rugby’s all-time leading try-scorer, surpassing All Blacks great Doug Howlett with his 60th five-pointer for the Tahs.

Folau also had the distinction of playing against the touring British and Irish Lions in his first year in the 15-man game before winning a Rugby Championship and making a World Cup final with the Wallabies in 2015.

During a decorated 73-test rugby career for the Wallabies, Folau also became the first three-times John Eales Medallist (2014, 2015, 2017) as Australian rugby’s player of the year.

With 37 strikes, Folau is Australia’s equal-third-highest tryscorer of all time behind only the legendary David Campese (64) and Chris Latham (40) and alongside Adam Ashley-Cooper, having marked his entry to international rugby with a record-equalling 10 in 2013.

“He’s probably in the top 25 Wallabies ever to have played in the gold jersey,” lauded twotime World Cup winner Tim Horan this week.

Sadly, though, the 30-yearold dual international ranks No.1 for divisiveness and his playing legacy will likely be tarnished forever after being booted out of Australian rugby for his deeply religious, extreme and offensive views.

The Blues have brought back two of their All Blacks into their starting lineup to play the Chiefs tonight. All Blacks props Ofa Tuungafasi and Karl Tu’inukuafe have been inserted into the starting XV for the clash, after the pair had come off the bench, with success, in the Blues’ recent victories. Blues coach Leon MacDonald has instead opted to start the international duo in Hamilton rather than use them as impact players, with the pair replacing Alex Hodgman and Sione Mafileo, who drop to the bench. Dalton Papalii also replaces Blake Gibson, who has a bad cut to a knee.

Adams fully focused Steven Adams has admitted that he “couldn’t care less right now” about the Tall Blacks, after again being questioned over his chances of playing for the national basketball team. The Thunder star was asked about his chances of finally pulling on the black singlet at the World Cup in September, but once again the centre swatted away the question like he does shots at the rim.

“Honestly mate, it’s just one of those things that’s a maybe. It’s like, all my mind, all my energy is here, and rightfully so,” Adams told ESPN. - NZME

Lienert-Brown braced for battle with midfield idol NZME Anton Lienert-Brown is looking forward to a big midfield battle with his idol Ma’a Nonu in this weekend’s Northern derby.

The Chiefs will hope to snap the Blues’ four-game winning streak in Hamilton today, with Nonu coming into the matchup in hot form.

Lienert-Brown, 23, who looked up to Nonu growing up, was full of praise for the Blues centre’s return to form and is ready for a tough physical clash.

“I think he (Nonu) has built into this season really well until now where he’s playing some great rugby,” he said.

“I used to watch him [when I was] younger and tried to get some tips off

him and he’s still doing those things really well.

“I think you know Ma’a is a really dangerous ball carrier, powerful ball carrier, but what I really like about him is he’s got great distribution.

“I think he really worked hard on that over the years until now where he’s almost like a 10 in a way who can carry the ball really hard as well.

“I admire the way he plays and it’s really exciting to get the opportunity to come up against those guys this week.”

With plenty of speculation about the tightly contested All Blacks midfield spots ahead of the World Cup, Lienert-Brown – who was among the 41 players named this week in the All Blacks foundation day

squad – said he’s staying focused on the task at hand.

“I don’t want to look too far ahead. I want to focus on doing my job for the Chiefs. But I think it’s about challenging myself against the best and it’s a really exciting opportunity without thinking too much about what’s to come.”

The Chiefs welcome back captain Brodie Retallick who will lead the side fully refreshed off a two-week break.

After sitting out their clash against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires because as part of the All Blacks rest policy, Retallick got an extra week off with the Chiefs having a bye last weekend, and will now lead the side in what promises to be an exciting derby in Hamilton.

Barbarians happy at home

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

After starting their season with a loss on the road, the Ashburton Barbarians rugby league side returns home today to take on the Woolston Rams.

With home ground advantage and home crowd support behind them, they’re hoping the outcome in round two of the Canterbury Rugby League division one competition will be a lot different than in round one.

The Barbarians are hoping to give their home fans something to cheer about this afternoon after what was a less than ideal start to the Canterbury Rugby League division one competition in Burnham last Saturday.

They took on the defending champion Burnham Chevaliers in round one and came away with a 30-14 loss, but coach Steve Gamble said it wasn’t all bad news.

The Chevaliers are always a tough opposition, and the Barbarians got off to a slow start and the Burnham side made them pay, as they always did.

But, the Barbarians never gave up, Gamble said. They stuck to their structure and their game plan right until the final whistle.

Today, they need to step it up a notch and look after the ball when they get their hands on it, and ensure they complete their sets early - something they failed to do against the Chevaliers.

There’s a number of new players in the mix for the Barbarians this season and Gamble said he’s been impressed with how they’ve slotted in, and how a lot of them stepped up to the plate in round one.

Today, the Ashburton Barbarians and the Woolston Rams will run out onto the field at Robilliard Park, on Chalmers Avenue, ready for a 1pm kick off.

The Ashburton Barbarians will today play in front of their home crowd for the first time this season.

Bennett content in Sydney NZME Wayne Bennett didn’t take long to answer when asked about Brisbane’s early-season NRL woes yesterday morning.

“Look, the CEO, the chairman and the board, I’m sure they’ve got it all under control so I wish them all the best,” Bennett said.

The South Sydney coach can afford to be a little wry.

His Rabbitohs have lost just one game over the opening month, and their one blemish was a golden-point defeat to Manly last-start.

And while the seven-time premiership-winning coach waits with bated breath on Greg Inglis’ future, his successor at the Broncos is feeling the heat.

But if Bennett felt any sympathy for Anthony Seibold, he didn’t want to voice it.

“I’ve said what I wanted to say there about it. I’ve got my own club here. I’m fairly happy at Souths. There’s a lot of work to do here yet,” he said.

“So I’m not going to put my nose in someone else’s business.”

In contrast to Seibold, Bennett is content to be sharing the spotlight in Sydney.

Having previously coached at St George Illawarra and Newcastle, it’s the first time Bennett is in charge of an NRL team based

in the harbour city.

“This is mild compared to Brisbane, generally,” he said.

“I’m not saying that facetiously, I’m saying that honestly. There’s a lot more teams here in Sydney. While we get our attention, it’s not like Brisbane.”

Inglis’ injury, as well as that of centre partner Braidon Burns, has forced Bennett to turn to Kyle Turner to spot their centre crisis.

Turner will start in the three-quarter line for the first time in his career when the Rabbitohs host the Warriors on the Sunshine Coast tonight.

It will be the first NRL match played at the 12,000-capacity Sunshine Coast Stadium, which has already been declared sold out.

However the locals won’t get to see the Queensland State of Origin captain, who is weighing up his future as he battles a chronic shoulder issue.

Burns is two weeks into an eight-week recovery from a hamstring injury but Bennett is confident Turner can do the job.

“I wouldn’t put him in there if I didn’t think he was confident. He’ll do a good job for us, he’s done it a couple of times this year already,” he said.

The 2-2 Warriors, who got back in the winner’s circle by thumping Gold Coast last week, have lost Karl Lawton but could get Issac Luke back from injury.

In brief NRL doesn’t want Folau Israel Folau’s contract with Rugby Australia is set to be torn apart following anti-gay posts and the news lead to widespread speculation a move to the NRL was on the cards.

As the fallout from the contract termination news grew, so did speculation Folau could shift and join the NRL following his removal from the Wallabies. ARL Commission chairman Peter Beattie however was quick to scrap the notion and slammed the door shut on any potential move. “Israel Folau doesn’t pass our inclusive test,” Beattie said yesterday.

Big test for Brumbies

South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett.

The beefed-up Brumbies will seek vastly better execution when they test themselves against Super Rugby A-List opposition for the second time in a week. The men from Canberra have slumped to second-last in the standings and can ill-afford to lose on Saturday at home to South Africa’s Lions, the beaten finalists in each of the past three seasons. Dan McKellar has showcased the importance of victory by fielding an all-Wallabies tight five after three were rested in last week’s 36-14 loss to the defending champion Crusaders in Christchurch.

United’s dream start

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

They made a dream start to their life as a Mainland Football division one side last weekend and today Mid Canterbury United’s players hope that dream will continue.

Mid Canterbury United took on Halswell Goal Exchange at the Ashburton Domain in last weekend’s opening round and won convincingly 5-0, keeping up the kind of form which saw them unbeaten and taking the Mainland Football division two title last season, and earning themselves promotion to division one.

Today they’re on the road to Selwyn United FC at Foster Park in Rolleston, and while they know this season is going to be a step up from what they’ve been used to, they also know they’re up to the task.

With a new passing style of football having done the trick for them in round one, the Marty Fitzgerald-coached side will be looking to produce much of the same in round two.

Selwyn United FC will be hungry though, having lost 1-0 to Universities AFC Gators in their opening game of the season.

Also hungry for a win, and simply hungry to just get out on the grass this weekend, will be the Methven FC Senior As in the Mainland Football division three competition. They picked up the easiest points of round one, with their opposition defaulting.

Today they’re on the road to Burwood AFC, while the Methven FC Reserves in division six are also away.

They’re set to take on Hornby United AFC Pressies today, a week after picking up a 6-0 win over Banks Peninsula in their opening game.

Manic, chaotic and unflinchingly hostile, this was football played in a whirlwind, Ajax unleashing another storm on this season’s Champions League to set up a fascinating second leg against Juventus.

The Italians will believe they are too good to be beaten at home by this Ajax side, that the hard work has been done in Amsterdam.

Yet so did Real Madrid when they won 2-1 in the Netherlands last month.

Ajax will not mind this 1-1 result and will fancy their chances.

They were brilliant, brave and reckless.

A young, hyperactive team, refusing to be sedated.

There might not be a team left in this year’s competition better equipped to stifle Ajax’s exuberance than Juventus, yet even they found it a thankless task; exhausting and stressful.

The hostility was everywhere: around the stadium as Juventus supporters were given a police escort into their stand, then inside it where the noise throbbed.

It was meant to intimidate.

Even before a ball had been kicked there was tension, a coiled spring ready to release.

Ajax’s players felt it.

They heard it.

They sucked it in and then they released it.

Ajax hunted in packs and at high speed, looking to force an early mistake, to catch the Italian champions cold out of the dressing room.

From start to finish, everywhere Juventus’ players looked there seemed to be someone in a red and white shirt hurtling towards them, and in the end they crumbled.

De Pasquale tops Phillip Island practice NZME The Mustangs are poised to roar on Phillip Island, with the Ford fleet easing through the first Supercars practice session of the weekend.

While Anton de Pasquale (right) topped the timing charts in his Commodore, series leader Scott McLaughlin appeared relaxed and comfortable on the Island, where he holds an intimidating record.

McLaughlin has taken the last seven pole positions at the Victorian track, winning six races for both Garry Rogers Motorsport and DJR Team Penske since 2014.

The 25-year-old series leader

nursed his Mustang around the circuit yesterday, leading the field for most of practice before de Pasquale took over.

The Erebus Motorsport driver’s 1:31.3181 won the day, ahead of Will Davison, Rick Kelly and McLaughlin.

Most drivers pulled their punches as they acclimatised to the notoriously challenging track.

Four Fords featured in the top seven places, with huge interest as to how the rampant Mustangs perform after having their centre of gravity altered by Supercars officials seeking improved parity.

Jamie Whincup, who endured a dire meet in Tasmania last weekend, forecast more pain for

his Red Bull Holden Racing Team on Phillip Island.

“The car is similar to the test day, it’s not 100 per cent,” he said.

“We didn’t put (new) tyres on ... I’m not saying we’re going to jump to the front.

“We have work to do.

“The car is not suited to Phillip Island. But we’ll work it out.”

The session was red flagged for five minutes as drivers contended with several Cape Barren Geese that strayed into harm’s way.

David Reynolds, who finished in 14th, summed up the mood of drivers.

“It’s a grouse track, fun to drive and as long as the geese piss off we’ll have a good day,” he said.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’re willing to fight for what’s right but not focused on finding out what’s wrong. There’s a time and a place for digging around to find problems and solve them. Right now it’s more about breezy rapport building.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Maturity comes from experience – often, not always. Those who don’t also reflect on what happened, make decisions about what to do and keep going forward, may get older without getting wiser.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): For some reason you’re struggling against what you want. Maybe it presents a conflict with what you wanted in the past, or with how others see you. Dig deeper for enlightenment.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Just because someone is in a position of authority doesn’t make that person better than someone who is in a low-status position. In fact, there are many benefits to being on the ground level today.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Social time is not wasted, though it can verge on that if not commandeered to some extent. Things go better when you know your purpose for the interaction, even if that purpose is just to relax and have fun.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The saying “these are the good old days” is completely true. So take pictures, not just of people’s faces but of the ordinary things. The kitchen in the morning and the parked car will be future nostalgia.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): To learn your expectations were unrealistic and adjust your thinking – that’s maturity. But what about when your expectations were well within reason and still not met? That’s character building.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The problem may be you’re taking too much responsibility for actions of others. The line between helping and enabling can be hard to see when you’re standing on it. Ask a trusted friend for a second opinion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Children fantasise about who they’ll be when they grow up. Grown-ups do the same. Our identities are in continual development. You’re seeing yourself differently, moving in a new direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): A most fulfilling day awaits during which you’re likely to act in support of another with the full knowledge that it will not progress any goal of your own, except the goal of being helpful.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The thing that will add to your repertoire and broaden your vision is not harder work in the same direction. Rather, it’s a recognition of more parts of yourself, specifically the acceptance of your shadow.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): It’s as impossible to have a real relationship with a fantasy person as it is to have a fantasy relationship with a real person. Just keep the categories straight.
