Tears flow for Cindy, children

Having a ball P6

As a pair of silver hearses pulled up outside Ashburton’s Sinclair Centre on Saturday, a small group of people were steeling themselves for a grim task.

One by one they lined up to take their place to carry the coffins containing Cindy George and her three children into what was rapidly becoming a packed funeral service.

It was a sobering sight - one adult sized coffin followed by three tragically tiny ones.

In contrast to the stark whiteness of

the coffins were the bright and colourful flowers that adorned them.

Family and friends hugged photos of Cindy, 31, her daughter Pio, and sons Teuruaa and Teiyzshwaun tightly as they walked past the hundreds of people who turned out to say their final goodbyes.

Some dabbed at their eyes with tissues, heads bowed as they found their seats.

Their grief was palpable but restrained.

The coffins were laid at the front of the hall, surrounded by photos and floral tributes.

Bishop Mora Pongia led the service, his emotion at times getting the better of him as he described his “special” parishioners.

Cindy was a dedicated member of the Ashburton Church of the Latter Day Saints who often turned up to services an hour early because she was excited to see her friends.

Pio, Teuruaa, and Teiyzshwaun were the “most active young children” Bishop Pongia had ever seen.

Five things that may interest you

Underwater concert Hundreds of music-loving snorkels and divers have ducked beneath the waves as a radio station broadcast a concert underwater at the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

Such songs as the theme from The Little Mermaid, The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine and Jimmy Buffett’s Fins entertained listeners during the four-hour music session. Some snorkels pretended to jam underwater on mock guitars or play other fake instruments such as a whimsical fish flute. Others wore costumes depicting mermaids and seahorses as music sounded from waterproof speakers suspended beneath boats.

“To be immersed in the sea and feel the music coming from underneath instead of through headphones - it’s very magical and distinct,” long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad said. “You couldn’t hear it this well if you were in a concert sitting in the front row.”

Brown a dad, again Bobby Brown has been given something to smile about as he maintains a bedside vigil over his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown - he has become a dad again. The My Prerogative singer’s wife Alicia Etheridge has given birth to the couple’s second child. The baby was born at CedarsSinai Hospital in Los Angeles on Saturday, according to reports. Brown wed his manager Etheridge in 2012 and their first child, Cassius, was born in 2010. The new baby is the R&B star’s sixth. His 22-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina, his only daughter from his marriage to tragic Whitney Houston, is still clinging to life at a hospice in Georgia after doctors informed the family they had done all they could for her.

Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious in her bathtub in Roswell, Georgia, in January.

She was placed in a medically-induced coma upon her arrival in hospital.

Liverwurst ice cream for dogs What is hot with German dogs as the temperatures rise?

They’re lapping up liverwurst ice cream. The flavour is the most popular this summer among canines at the ice cream shops owned by Leonardo Caprarese in and around the northern German city of Bremen. Caprarese has offered ice cream that he specially concocted for dogs since 2009, including beef and chicken flavours. He said he noticed that many of his customers bought ice cream for themselves and then placed an order for their dogs. Worried that the sugar in the ice cream was not healthy for the pets, he developed a sugar-free version to cater to the canine class in the dog-loving nation. It contains meat, carrots, milk and water. Caprarese said his fourlegged customers have been enthused. “Most of them gobble it in one go,” Caprarese said, “but there are also some that lick it up.”

Hot, hot, hot A British boyband singer collapsed with heat exhaustion during a flight while wearing 12 layers of clothing in a bid to beat the excess luggage fee. James McElvar, 19, from the Scottish group Rewind, was about to board an easyJet flight from London Stansted to Glasgow last week when he was told he had one carry-on bag too many.

Staff said he was allowed to take only one bag on board, so would have to pay a $70 excess charge or bin his second bag.

With his bandmates already aboard and just minutes to spare, he made a foolhardy snap decision, emptying his rucksack and donning the entire contents. McElvar was wearing six T-shirts, four jumpers, two jackets, one pair of shorts, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of jogging bottoms and two hats.

Gas warning for other families

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

As Ashburton mother Cindy George and her three children were farewelled at an emotional service on Saturday, attention turned to preventing further tragedies.

It was standing room only at the Sinclair Centre as about 400 people gathered to say their final goodbyes.

Tributes flowed for Ms George, her daughter Pio Raukete, 5, and sons Teuruaa George, 3, and Teiyzshwaun George, 2, who were found dead

in a Thomson Street house nine days ago.

Police believe the family died from carbon monoxide poisoning after a car in an adjacent garage was left running to keep the battery “ticking over”.

Family and friends travelled from the Pacific Islands and Australia to attend the service in Ashburton, which followed a private family funeral on Thursday.

Ms George had made Ashburton her home since leaving the Cook Islands five years ago, and her cousin Poko Ngaro praised

the way the community had rallied around the family since the tragedy.

“We’re humbled by the support we’ve received,” he said.

“The last nine days have been really hard, it’s come as a shock to us.

“We probably wouldn’t have been able to get through the last nine days without the support of the community.”

The loss was still sinking in, but it had brought the community closer, Mr Ngaro said.

“It was a pure accident. Mistakes do happen, the key is edu-

cation,” he said.

He hoped the tragedy would increase awareness and education around carbon monoxide poisoning, especially in the Pacific community.

Another of Ms George’s cousins, Nane Tairea, said the loss of Ms George and her children was “heartbreaking”.

“One thing we can do as a family is go forward and think of the positive things that was able to come out of it, so that others don’t have to go through what we have gone through,” she said.

While the service was a time for people to grieve, it was also a celebration of the lives they had led.

Family and friends painted a glowing picture of Cindy and her children. Throughout the service she was repeatedly described as a humble, loving, and dedicated mother who always put her children first.

Church of Latter Day Saints Christchurch president Adrian Van’t Wout said she was “bubbly and full of life”.

Her children, he said, were exactly the same.

“Their eyes were full of life, hope and love.”

A moving photo slideshow showed a vibrant, happy, and close knit family - making their untimely deaths all the more heartbreaking.

Cindy had five children in total, with her older son, Amos, travelling from the Cook Islands to say goodbye to his mum and siblings. He sat quietly with family, at times resting his head on the shoulder of a relative beside him.

Cindy’s cousin, Nane Tairea, said Amos was still coming to terms with the tragedy but had “a big heart.”

As the service drew to a close, the pallbearers again lined up.

One by one the coffins were carried back outside, some pallbearers now allowing their tears to flow freely.

Placed gently in the back of the silver hearses and accompanied by relatives, Cindy and her children made the short trip to the Ashburton New Lawn Cemetery, where they were laid to rest.

■ BENTLEY MURDER

In brief

Police ‘misled’ by witnesses

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

The detective who led the initial investigation into the murder of Ashburton teenager Kirsty Bentley has slammed witnesses who say they want to change their original police statements.

Following the recent death of Kirsty’s father Sid Bentley, witnesses who were interviewed at the time of Kirsty’s disappearance said they would change their statements if reinterviewed by police.

A Christchurch woman told media that she would change her original statement, given in 1999, about her then-partner’s involvement in the murder.

The woman said she had always had concerns regarding her ex-partner’s involvement in the crime and would change her statement if asked the same questions today.

A man has also reportedly contacted police requesting to be re-interviewed as he also has new information to offer.

Retired Detective Senior Sergeant Lance Corcoran, who headed the Ashburton CIB when Kirsty disappeared, slammed the witnesses who wanted to change their initial police statements.

“I’m saddened to hear that people can make statements like that because that means they haven’t been honest the

first time around,” he said.

“That does not impress me at all, because police put every effort into solving these sort of crimes, and if people are misleading the police then I think they have a lot to answer for.”

The case has been thrust back into the spotlight recently following the death of Sid Bentley.

His ex-wife and Kirsty’s mother, Jill Peachey, told media this week that she does not believe Sid was involved in their daughter’s death.

Kirsty was the “apple of his eye” and she believed he was innocent.

Kirsty, 15, went missing after heading out to walk her

dog along the Ashburton River bank on New Year’s Eve in 1998.

Her body was later discovered at Camping Gully in the Rakaia Gorge, one day before her 16th birthday.

Sid became a suspect after he could not recall where he was on the afternoon Kirsty disappeared.

While Mr Corcoran stopped short of saying Sid was a prime suspect in the case, he said he had never been eliminated.

“On the day that Kirsty went missing, Sid had three hours that he couldn’t account for, and as far as I’m aware he’s never accounted for that time,” he said.

Motorcyclist dies A motorcyclist died after colliding with a ute in South Auckland last night. The crash happened on Constable Road, Waiuku, shortly before 6pm. The Police Serious Crash unit responded and will be investigating.

Naseby buzzing Naseby is “buzzing with excitement” as the village prepares to host its first national bonspiel in more than 80 years. The influx of curlers from throughout the country began yesterday and the action begins from 8.30am today on Centennial Ponds, across the road from the ice and international indoor curling rinks. Naseby ice master and Naseby Curling Council president Jock Scott said the event was going to be “huge” for the town. Curlers were “called” to the event on Saturday and up to 300 curlers, members of the country’s 36 curling clubs, are expected to attend. It will be the first national bonspiel since 2012. The two-day event is held only when weather and ice conditions are suitable.

Fatal at Levin A woman died following a crash in Levin last night. Two vehicles collided at the intersection of State Highway 57 and Waihou Road.

Both cars had single occupants and the other driver was taken to Palmerstone North hospital.

Cordons are in place around the scene and police have asked motorists to avoid this area.

Mt Hutt Ski Area was nearly at full capacity on Saturday as eager skiers flocked to the mountain.

The middle weekend of the school holidays is usually one of the busiest, and this year was no different. Car parks quickly

filled up and the access road to the mountain was closed shortly after 10am, with staff estimating that about 3000 people hit the slopes throughout the day.

General manager James Urquhart said staff were “stoked” with the turnout.

“It was one of our good days, that’s for sure,” he said.

“I think it’s sort of pre-earthquake that we’ve been around those numbers.”

The influx of people was good for the ski area, and for Methven, he said.

■ TINWALD TRAGEDY

Support services for emergency responders While family and friends begin the difficult task of moving on from the recent tragedy in Tinwald, emergency service personnel are also coming to terms with the awful events of July 2.

In the days that followed the grisly discovery of Cindy George and her three children, support agencies began to work with police, fire, and ambulance crews.

While police are often called

upon to deal with awful and tragic situations, Ashburton police Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield says it’s always worse when children are involved.

The police in Ashburton were very professional, but it still had an effect on them, he said.

“They stand up shining all the time,” he said. “Cops are cops, but they’re still human.”

Support services for police were very strong, he said.

However he said tragedies involving children did “make you go home and think about your kids”.

Following the tragedy, Ashburton fire risk management officer Murray Cairns said such events were always hard on responders, particularly those with children.

The Fire Service also had strong support services in place, and firefighters looked out for one another, he said.

Lucky Rotorua For the third week in a row, Rotorua has struck it rich in Lotto with $1 million the latest win. As of yesterday, the prize has not been claimed. Saturday night’s first division ticket was sold at Countdown Rotorua, on Fenton St. It follows last week’s win of $500,000 and the $24.3 million Powerball two weeks ago. “It’s been really good, people are checking their tickets, we’ve been told we’re a lucky shop,” Countdown Lotto assistant Florence Els said. “We’re all really excited, it’s like we’ve won actually and not the customer.

■ HIGHLAND DANCING

Sarah bags hat-trick of national highland dance titles An Ashburton dancer has had a golden run at the New Zealand Highland and National Dancing Championship.

The competition is being held in Ashburton for the first time in many years, and local dancers have been making the most of

the home advantage.

Saturday marked the start of the senior competition, with dancers competing in three age classes for 10 New Zealand titles.

Ashburton’s Sarah Gluyas had a perfect start to the com-

petition, taking out three New Zealand titles in the over-18s section.

Another local dancer, Lucy Moore, also claimed her first national title in the under-16 division.

Ashburton Highland Danc-

ing Association secretary Susan Moore said everything had run “very smoothly” so far. “There’s been amazing dancing and people are really happy,” she said.

By the end of the competition, 197 competitors would have taken to the stage.

Tragic end to Greek holiday

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

An Ashburton woman’s Greek holiday has ended in tragedy.

Carol Hill, 61, died in an Athens hospital last week after being hit by a motorbike and spending four weeks in a medically-induced coma.

Mrs Hill and husband Barrie were holidaying on the Greek island of Santorini when she was struck by a motorbike while getting off a bus. She was later airlifted to a hospital in Athens for treatment.

For a while it appeared things

were looking up - Mrs Hill was brought out of the coma and managed to utter a few words.

However her condition soon began to deteriorate.

Her son Shane Hill said he did not know she was back in a coma until Thursday night.

“We had a couple of good days and then a whole heap of bad ones,” he said.

“It was a bit of a rollercoaster.”

Doctors decided she required emergency surgery to remove her lung, which had become infected.

She made it through the surgery but sadly passed away of a heart attack shortly after.

Shane described his mother as a “very giving person”.

“She was always caring, she always had a lot of time for people,” he said. “That’s just the sort of person she was.”

Her husband Barrie was still in Greece.

Mrs Hill and husband Barrie had been married for 40 years.

“They didn’t spend a lot of time apart,” Shane said.

“He’s hurting.”

The community had rallied

behind the family, raising thousands of dollars towards Mrs Hill’s medical expenses.

“We’ve had a lot of support, which is just magic,” Shane said.

It was expected to take about two weeks for Mrs Hill’s body to be returned to New Zealand.

“You’ll be getting your head clear and starting to, not forget, but starting to carry on, and then we’ve got to go through all of this again,” Shane said.

Donations to help the Hill family can be made online via ANZ bank account: 01-08340164407-46.

Ski bunnies make most of cold weather Another fine but frosty start is on the cards this morning as cold weather continues to hold the country in its icy grip.

MetService meteorologist Stephan Glassey said like yesterday, the fine and frosty weather would continue for most of today before more rain makes its way in from the east

later this week.

A front approaching from the Tasman Sea would reach New Zealand late on Tuesday, and move eastwards over the country during Wednesday, bringing rain to many areas, with some heavy falls in the north and west of both islands.

“Because the wind direction is

predominantly northeast rather than a southerly, so it won’t be anywhere near as cold as last week,” Mr Glassey said.

“It will be too warm for snow to fall to low levels like it did last week.”

Meanwhile ski bunnies across the country were making the most of last week’s fresh dump-

ing of snow.

Turoa skifield said on its website that cold temperatures on Saturday night had kept the snow in great condition yesterday, and at Whakapapa cool dry conditions made the fields perfect for snow sports.

Another low is on the horizon this weekend.

- NZME

The championship will wrap up later today with the presentation of the senior competition winners and the New Zealand national rankings.

That will be followed by an official closing ceremony and junior dance display.

Tax advert complaint upheld A television advertisement for a tax refund company has been found to have misled its customers into believing 90 per cent of Kiwis over pay their taxes.

A complaint was made to the Advertising Standards Authority, regarding an advertisement that played on television last month for tax refund company My Tax. The advertisement showed a man in a hairdressing salon talking to a woman about her tax refund.

The advertisement said, “Money on your mind? My Tax has found that nine out of ten people are overpaying on their tax, chances are you’re one of them.”

A complainant said the claim that nine out of ten people were overpaying their tax was “misleading and unable to be substantiated”.

The Complaints Board said some people could be misled.

■ FILIPINO WINTER BALL

In brief Sprinklers needed Rural home owners are being urged to install home sprinkler systems to protect their homes in a fire after two homes were destroyed in the last three weeks.

As well as Wednesday’s fire at Dods Rd, Waikite Valley, there was a fire on Jay Rd, Reporoa three weeks ago. Rotorua Fire Brigade fire safety investigator Stuart Bootten said the 35 minute drive from the station could be mitigated by sprinklers. It could be the difference between water damage and complete loss of a building. “These two recent fires have taken us around 35 minutes for crews to get there,” he said.

“A room in a house will be totally involved with fire in four minutes.

We’re unable to save much unless there’s some other form of protection to control the fire until we arrive.”

Performers such as Ninah Teves, 13, dressed in traditional costumes and wowed over 200 guests with cultural performances.

The event was a chance to celebrate the Filipino culture and the hard-working dairy workers, FDWNZ chairman Earl Magtibay said.

While this was the first time they had hosted a winter ball, they were hoping to make it an annual event, he said.

FDWNZ was founded in 2006 as a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing services for Filipino dairy workers in New Zealand, and particularly in Canterbury.

Kiwi recovering after scooter accident in Thailand A New Zealander in a coma in a Thai hospital is responding to voices and moving his eyes.

Paul ‘PJ’ Lupi, 28, is in a coma after a scooter accident in Thailand last week.

One Indonesian woman is missing out on precious family time with her great, great grandmother after her Bali-bound plane was forced to turn back mid-flight because of ash continuing to spew from Mount Ruang in eastern Java. Air New Zealand flight NZ245 took off from Auckland about 3.20 am on Sunday, almost 12 hours after its scheduled departure time of 4:20pm on Saturday. It had made it almost half-way across Australia before it was forced to turn back to Auckland. Thousands of other travellers have been left stranded as airlines worldwide had to cancel flights as a result of the ash which is potentially hazardous to airline jet engines.

like when you wake up but he is responding to voices, there is a focused response to voices.

“He will have a full recovery we are 100 per cent certain of that.”

Joe said there were around 100 people at the fundraiser and the support the family had recieved since the accident was amazing.

“We are overwhelmed by the support. My brother is a spe-

cial guy, he was one of those guys who walked into a room and made everyone laugh. He is happy all the time.

PJ Lupi had been on holiday in Thailand for about 10 days with his girlfriend Amy, who had returned to New Zealand the previous day, when he crashed.

It was unclear exactly what happened but PJ Lupi hit his head and suffered severe facial

injuries, though he was wearing a helmet.

He did not have travel insurance cover and his family has urged all Kiwis heading overseas to make sure they do.

It is costing $6000 a night to keep PJ in a private hospital and a givealittle fundraising page set up to assist with medical costs hit its $150,000 target last week.

A complaint against a billboard advertisement for Burger Fuel’s ‘Greedy B*****d’ burger has been upheld in part by the Advertising Standards Authority. A complaint was made to the advertising watchdog in regards to the billboard, which named the burger in large type on a main city street.

The burger, named the ‘Greedy B*****d’ gets its name from its double portions of both meat and cheese. “I’m sure this humour appeals to the young adults it is trying to lure into its restaurant, but to force the name upon people in large type in public is not acceptable,” the complainant told the authority. The board upheld the complaint in part with regard to the use of the advertisement on a billboard. Burger Fuel were not immediately available for comment.

Mr Orr said housing was a fantastic investment opportunity for the fund, but did not name any specific projects. He said the fund was running hard with some very strong and trusted partners, but it was really hard to get capital invested. “You’ve got to get access to the land; you’ve got to have the capability to do the structures,” he said.

■ FATAL CRASH

Truckie cuts trapped passengers free

By Lauren PriestLey A truckie who worked to cut trapped passengers free from a burning vehicle just moments before it exploded in a fatal crash, says he was just in the right place at the right time.

Taupo man Tony Duffy, 45, who is also a volunteer firefighter and an ex-police officer, said his training kicked in during the dramatic rescue.

He was the first to arrive at the “horrific” debris-strewn crash scene on Saturday afternoon.

The head-on collision occurred on State Highway 3 near Sanson, police said. A car lost control and veered across the double-yellow lines directly into the path of an oncoming SUV towing a horse float.

The driver of the car, Kent James Bond, died at the scene and the SUV and horse float jack-knifed and rolled, trapping a 41-year-old woman and three children in the vehicle, which then caught fire.

Mr Duffy reached the destroyed car first and initially

didn’t think the driver was inside but then saw him in the passenger footwell.

He checked for the driver’s vitals and realised he was deceased, before moving toward to the SUV, where another man had started working to free the passengers.

Smoke was already billowing from the vehicle and flames were starting to creep out of the bonnet.

Two passengers had already been pulled free but the other two, who were young girls, were

stuck inside, he said.

“I was trying to reach in and help them...grab a knife, cut the seatbelts. It was all crumpled up so we couldn’t really get them out.

“I looked up and I saw the flames starting to get quite big and I thought if I don’t try and subdue that somehow then we’re not going to get them out,” he said.

The volunteer firefighter yelled for fire extinguishers from any of the nearby vehicles and five people came forward

with them.

It was just enough to keep the blaze under control before the two girls were cut free and dragged to safety.

But there was more work to be done - a banging from the trailer alerted the rescuers to a horse that was trapped inside.

Mr Duffy broke the metal bar restraining the horse, which then bolted outside and immediately put its head down to graze, he said.

The whole rescue took just 10 minutes.

■ FIREFIGHTING

■ RURAL SUPPORT TRUST

Kiwis help contain wildfires

Farmers urged to reach out

Firefighters from rural New Zealand are flying to Canada to help battle blazes raging in almost 800,000 hectares of forest.

The western Canada wildfires have forced thousands of people to evacuate and thick smoke has triggered air quality warnings across the country and into the United States.

One of the fires was more than five times the size of Saskatchewan’s largest city Saskatoon, officials said.

New Zealand rural fire officer Kevin O’Connor said 16 firefighters were leaving Auckland for Canada on Tuesday.

The firefighters would fly into Vancouver before transferring to Edmonton in Alberta to start an expected five-week

deployment providing frontline support to local firefighters, he said.

“Our people have a range of skills in high demand during lengthy firefighting operations,” Mr O’Connor said.

“These include logistics, planning, finance, ferrying supplies into remote locations and the use of aircraft.”

The deployment followed a request from the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre earlier this week.

About 800,000 hectares of forest are burning across the states of Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Colombia, as well as in neighbouring Alaska.

The Rural Support Trust is urging people not to think of farmers as “emotionally impenetrable” so that they will reach out for assistance.

The Rural Support Trust is a helpline for farmers, providing connections to assistance for not only farm-related matters, but mental health and financial support as well.

Harry Matthews, the Ruapehu/Wanganui Rural Support Trust facilitator, says they have helped up to 100 farmers with different issues already since the floods hit on June 20.

“We can work with different governmental organisations to help any farmers with just about any problem,” he said. “We can help with stock welfare, farmer welfare and financial support.

“We can also work with district councils to get roads open faster to push logistics and things like that.”

Fellow facilitator Lyn Neeson says the trust is an important part of shooting down the perception that resilience is the backbone of the farming community.

“So many aspects of farming are out of their hands that they can’t control, from the weather to market prices and other off-farm income.

“If we do perpetuate the idea that farmers are stoic and tough and can get through anything, when something like this does happen and they can’t cope, they feel like something is wrong with them, which makes them very vulnerable.”

Trade visits promote growth Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he mind-bending losses from the Chinese stock market slump reinforce the need for Mid Canterbury businesses to make sure of their targets in the Chinese economy.

There is no ignoring how important the world’s second biggest economy has become to our district and no downplaying the fears that are aroused when its performance slips.

As we watch global dairy prices stagnate – in part because Chinese demand has dropped – it is difficult to feel anything but pessimistic about the impact of slowing Chinese fortunes.

At least, it is until one considers how local leaders are forging links with Chinese governments, businesses and markets that should suit the produce and products that Mid Canterbury produces.

This week, Chinese consul general Jin Zhijian visited engineering, small seed and honey businesses in Ashburton, in what will be the first of many visits to explore closer business links.

Agriculture was top-of-mind in the Grow Mid Canterburyhosted tour but education and tourism were discussed opportunities that will thrive with the right push and contacts in China.

There is already plenty of direct Chinese investment in the regional economy, particularly in dairy, and there are plans for even more direct investment in agri-business and tourism.

Mr Zhijian acknowledged that scale – as in, can local supply meet Chinese demand – was often an issue for New Zealand exporters but that Mid Canterbury had an advantage.

Ashburton has a sister city relationship with Puyang, a prefecture-level city whose population is roughly the size of New Zealand’s. It is a market where scale is more manageable.

Grow Mid Canterbury leads a trade delegation to Puyang in September and it has had strong interest from local businesses that are keen to push further into China.

Now, more than ever, is the time to forge mutually beneficial links that could insulate trade partners from future, inevitable, shocks.

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

N

o two weeks, and frequently no two days, are the same in the life of an MP. Last Thursday was a particularly busy, varied and interesting day working in the Ashburton end of the Rangitata electorate and I thought I would tell you about it.

Often I am not at liberty to discuss how I fill my days in the electorate as they often involve one-on-one meetings with constituents.

The day started with the drive up from Timaru to Ashburton. While on the road, and on hands-free, I did my weekly radio talkback with Josh from Classic Hits in Timaru.

Each week the content of the call is different. This week we discussed free GP visits for under 13-year-olds which was announced in Budget 2015 and began on July 1.

We also discussed the stunning win of the ANZ Young Farmer of the Year title by local young farmer Matt Bell.

First stop in Ashburton was Safer Ashburton’s SEEDs programme shoestring cookoff challenge at the Tinwald School Hall. What a great event.

After donning my apron, greeting my helper for the challenge John Hobbs and opening the mystery food parcel, it was all go preparing a meal for two adults and two children.

My fellow contestants, Hoops from Hokonui Radio, Jackie Girvan from Presbyterian Support and Mayor Angus McKay and I were all quickly into the spirit of the challenge and busy putting together savoury mince dishes, potatoes and desserts.

The event was well attended and was so successful I believe

it will become an annual event.

While Hoop’s dishes were judged the best, everyone who attended won because it was a positive, educational and inspiring event.

Next stop was a brief lunch meeting with Business Mid Canterbury board members who brought me up to date on current business issues in the Ashburton District.

My day in Ashburton was rounded off with a very robust and well attended Seniors’ Forum.

I host a number of these events throughout the electorate each year, inviting a randomly selected group of older

residents to meet with me over a cup of tea to discuss whatever they want.

Last week’s function was the largest I have hosted with 60 people attending.

I usually kick the functions off with a description of my role as MP, my ministerial commitments, how my weeks are spent and how my offices work.

Then it’s open to the floor.

Topics covered last week included the milk price, the potential for a passenger rail link between Ashburton and Christchurch, crime numbers and the police’s ability to solve crime, changes to the Worksafe legislation and how they may

affect small holding owners and volunteers, National Animal Identification & Tracing (NAIT), domestic violence, youth work and changes made to the welfare system over recent times.

I find no two Seniors’ Forums are the same. The topics are always diverse, interesting and topical. If you get an invitation, come along!

The day finished with the drive to Christchurch to catch a plane to Wellington so I could spend Friday in the capital undertaking a varied and interesting day of ministerial duties.

■ PARAGUAY

In brief

Millions attend Pope’s mass About a million worshippers have packed the Paraguayan town of Caacupe to see Pope Francis, who is wrapping up a three-country South America tour in which he has repeatedly spoken up for the poor.

The pope, 78, paid special tribute to Paraguay’s women, largely left widowed and orphaned during the War of the Triple Alliance from 1865 to 1870, which nearly decimated the male population.

“I would like especially to mention you, the women, wives and mothers of Paraguay, who at great cost and sacrifice were able to lift up a country defeated, devastated and laid low by war,” Pope Francis said.

“You are keepers of the memory, the lifeblood of those who rebuilt the life, faith and dignity of your people.”

The huge crowd was delighted to hear the pope deliver the Lord’s Prayer in Guarani, the language of the country’s indigenous people, spoken by 80 per cent of the population.

Caacupe has become a place of international pilgrimage thanks to the presence of a small wooden statue of the Virgin Mary that has been credited with various miracles.

On the esplanade in front of the Caacupe basilica, crowds played guitar, shook maracas

Victorians caught driving while drunk and on illicit drugs will face fines of up to $41,000 and lose their licences from next month.

First-time offenders who record a blood alcohol concentration of 0.10 or higher and simultaneously test positive for illicit drugs could be fined up to $4550 and have their licences cancelled for at least one year. Repeat offenders will lose their licences for at least two years and face fines of up to $40,959.

Thousands flee as wildfires rage Wildfires in Saskatchewan burned out of control, with one blaze more than five times the size of the province’s largest city, Saskatoon, officials said.

Fires also raged in British Columbia and Alberta.

The western Canada wildfires have forced thousands of people to evacuate, and air advisories have been issued across central and western Canada, as well as parts of the western US, due to the thick smoke over the region.

About 200 fires burned Friday in British Columbia, fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said. He said about 2300 people are fighting the blazes and that a crew of about 50 people from Australia is expected to join them next week.

Data posted on the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre said wildfires have burned almost 2.4 million acres (one million hectares) in Saskatchewan alone so far this year.

In one of the hardest hit parts of Saskatchewan, Montreal Lake, about 200 Canadian

soldiers pushed through the bush trying to keep the area safe from the flames.

Trisha Halkett, 20, sat on a bench outside a local hotel, her 2-year-old daughter and hus-

band by her side. She said she hopes she will be able to return home by the time her second baby is born next month.

“I certainly hope so,” she said, patting her stomach.

Kim Weir, a Parks Canada spokeswoman, said a wildfire burning in Jasper National Park has grown substantially, forcing campers and other visitors out of the area. The popular park remains open, but with a ban on campfires.

Officials said some relief might be in store for firefighters in British Columbia, with showers and cooler weather forecast.

More than 100 Australian firefighters and emergency service workers will help battle out of control wildfires threatening communities across western Canada.

The country is facing some of its worst fires in years, with more than 13,000 people forced to leave their homes and about 1400 soldiers deployed to help fight the flames across Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Next week 95 Australians will join up with seven officers already in Vancouver before heading to key areas affected in British Columbia and Alberta.

At least 15 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack at a crowded market in Chad’s capital, just days after Boko Haram claimed a previous bombing in the city that left 38 people dead.

Saturday’s attack in N’Djamena by a man disguised as a woman in a full-face veil came after a botched bombing in the capital of Nigeria’s Borno state, Maiduguri, which killed two pedestrians. Militant fighters on Friday night also raided the village of Ngamdu, some 100 kilometres from Maiduguri, killing 11, a member of the civilian militia said. Both attacks again underlined the threat still posed by the Islamists, despite claimed military successes in recent months and with a new regional force set to deploy at the end of the month.

Shots fired South Korean troops have fired warning shots at North Korean soldiers who intruded on the buffer zone marking their heavily armed border, Seoul says. The South’s defence ministry said the incident occurred on Saturday morning when 10 North Korean soldiers crossed the border of the demilitarised zone separating the two Koreas, which remain technically at war. But the brief intrusion near Cheorwon, northeast of Seoul, triggered no exchange of fire as North Korean soldiers retreated without firing back, it said. This is the first time in 2015 South Korean soldiers have fired warning shots at North Korean troops for intruding in the DMZ, a ministry official said.

Bali flights off Jetstar and Virgin Australia have again cancelled their Bali flights because of the volcanic ash plume.

After briefly reopening routes to and from Denpasar Airport overnight, the airlines announced more cancellations yesterday due to a change in wind conditions affecting the ash from the eruption of Mt Raung. Some Australians stranded on the holiday island made it home for the start of the new school term but others say they are finding it hard to get information about when they might make it onto a plane.

Mexico’s volcano Ash is raining down from the socalled “Volcano of Fire” in western Mexico and people living in its shadow are being relocated after it spectacularly erupted. The interior ministry said the volcano in Colima state could continue to spew lava before waning in a few weeks - or possibly experience its biggest eruption in more than a century.

The British Museum (above) is just one attraction in Bloomsbury.

More than museums

M

any visitors to London know Bloomsbury as a neighbourhood of books, B&Bs and the British Museum.

But it’s also a district of elegant architecture, hidden parks and upscale boutiques that’s a pleasure to explore on foot.

Much of the area was developed during the 18th century, with solid Georgian houses arranged around a series of squares.

It has had a literary reputation since Virginia Woolf and other members of the bohemian Bloomsbury Group gathered here in the early 20th century.

The presence of University College London and other institutions of learning means Bloomsbury still has an academic air, with good bookshops and multiple museums.

Foremost among these is the British Museum, deservedly one of Britain’s most popular destinations. Founded in 1753, it contains a vast collection of artefacts spanning millennia of human civilisation.

Jill Lawless discovers the elegant delights of Bloomsbury, London.

The extensive collection of Egyptian mummies is among the most popular draws. Among the most controversial are the Parthenon friezes, taken from Athens by a British nobleman 200 years ago. Greece has long fought for their return, so far unsuccessfully.

Admission to the museum is free, although special exhibitions charge for tickets.

The museum’s large, airy Great Court - topped with a glass ceiling by architect Norman Foster - is a good place to stop for coffee or just to peoplewatch.

Bloomsbury’s rich history is reflected in several fascinating small museums, including the Dickens house museum, where writer Charles Dickens lived and worked early in his career.

The Foundling Museum movingly tells the story of the Foundling Hospital for

abandoned babies, which was established here in 1739 and became the world’s first children’s charity. Its early patrons included artist William Hogarth and composer George Frideric Handel.

St George’s Gardens, just around the corner from the Foundling Museum, feels like a secret hideaway. It’s a former burial ground that is now an atmospheric little park, dotted with crumbling tombs and gravestones.

Anything but secret is nearby Russell Square, Bloomsbury’s biggest and most famous square, an expanse of grass and trees with a cafe and a fountain that’s a joy in hot weather.

Young visitors can explore Coram’s Fields, a seven-acre park with playgrounds, sports pitches, paddling pool and a city farm. Adults are only allowed if accompanied by children.

Bloomsbury has long been famous for its bookshops. Among the best for browsing are Judd Books, a packed discount emporium strong on fiction, design, literature and history, and the London Review Bookshop, an eclectically stocked bibliophiles’ paradise.

The attached London Review Cake Shop serves good coffee, a vast range of teas and delicious cakes.

Persephone Books specialises in republishing neglected female authors in attractive paperback editions.

Lamb’s Conduit Street also offers less cerebral shopping.

The partially pedestrianised strip is home to a slew of smart menswear boutiques including Oliver Spencer, Folk, and Simon Carter.

The Crows returned to AFL action on Saturday night in an emotional away loss to West Coast, their first outing since the alleged murder of coach Phil Walsh. “Probably two weeks, and then I’d like to think yes, we can move on and finish this season off the way Phil wanted us to finish off,” Chapman told reporters yesterday.

Black back to winning form

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Defending champions Wakanui Black bounced back in strong fashion beating clubmates Wakanui Blue 5-1 at the NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf on Saturday.

After back-to-back losses, a hat-trick to Ryan Wilson steered Black to an important win over Blue to start the third and final round of the MidSouth Canterbury hockey competition.

Black had barely lost two games in the last four years, so two in a row was beginning to

get the alarm bells ringing for the four-time defending champions.

“We have just had troubles for numbers and a bit of consistency so the second round was one to forget and hopefully we have turned the corner for the third and final round,” Wakanui Black’s Adam Wilson said.

Those concerns will have been eased after the win over Blue to start the march towards the Walker and Hall Shield playoffs.

Black dominated the opening half, but Blue hung on to trail

by just one goal at the break.

“We dominated possession but had little reward for it so the panic button could have been hit but we were able to stick at it and finish strong.”

Hugh Copland scored from a penalty corner and Ryan Wilson scored the first of his three goals from an impressive reverse stick shot, with Nick Sinclair finding the back of the net for Blue.

Wilson then fired in another two goals before Sam Bennett scored a penalty stroke, giving Black a bonus win.

“We went searching for an

equaliser. They were effective in hemming us in before getting away on us,” Wakanui Blue’s Sam Moore said.

“They did to us what they probably should be doing to every team each week.”

It was also a good day for fellow defending champions Hampstead who recorded a 3-0 win over Hampstead-Collegians.

Hampstead went ahead 2-0 in the first half but were only able to put one more goal past a determined HampsteadCollegians side in the second spell.

Reigning Masters and US Open champion Jordan Spieth has eagled twice in shooting a jawdropping 10-under-par 61 to seize the lead in his tune-up event for the British Open. The 21-year-old American prodigy fired six birdies in his lowest career US PGA round to stand on 17-under 196 after 54 holes at the John Deere Classic in Illinois, the event he won two years ago to earn his spot on tour as a teen. “It’s just incredible. I could never have imagined two years ago sitting here, Spieth said.” New Zealand’s Danny Lee, who won his first PGA title last week in a playoff at the Greenbrier Classic, fired a nine-under 62 to stand second on 198, but the South Korean-born Kiwi knew his impressive round was overshadowed by playing partner Spieth.

Ko back in pack Lydia Ko has put together her best round to date at the US Women’s Open, shooting a third round one-under par 69 to edge back up the leaderboard. Playing in one of the five majors on the female golf circuit, Ko’s first under par round of the tournament has seen her leap 14 spots into a tie for 18th after the completion of her round.

The world number two started off in one of the worst ways possible, with a double bogey on her first hole, before bouncing back with three birdies on the front nine. She added a fourth birdie on the back nine before a bogey at 16 left her to sign for a 69. Ko was one of the few players teeing off early to break par.

South Korea’s Amy Yang continues to lead the tournament at eightunder par, three strokes ahead of American Stacy Lewis.

‘Administrative error’ disastrous for New Zealand Football It will go down as one of New Zealand Football’s darkest days.

Hours before the Oly Whites were due to take the field in their Olympic Qualifying final against Fiji yesterday, Oceana Football Confederation (OFC) announced that New Zealand

would have to forfeit the match, and their Olympic dream, due to an administrative error.

All Whites defender Deklan Wynne was judged to have played in the semi-final win over Vanuatu despite failing to meet Fifa regulations for a player

born outside of his representative country.

Wynne was born in South Africa and has no Kiwi bloodline, which meant he was required to have lived continuously in New Zealand for five years after the age of 18 to be eligible.

And despite playing twice for the All Whites and representing New Zealand at last month’s Under 20 World Cup under the same Fifa regulations, somewhere, somehow, his paper work was never questioned.

Until now.

The mistake will have long and far reaching repercussions for New Zealand Football. Olympic qualification would have guaranteed at least three top quality matches, vital experience and contact time for the majority of the All Whites squad. - NZME

Methven put the Max Gilbert Challenge Trophy next to the Combined Country Cup in their cabinet on Saturday, but whether they will have the chance to add the Watters Cup will go down to the wire.

Their win over Rakaia in Mid Canterbury senior rugby round four puts them in the box seat, but they are not guaranteed a place in the August 1 final.

Celtic’s bonus point 44-7 win over Hampstead has them in striking distance, and also boosted their points differential should that come in to play.

They still need nothing short of a bonus point win over Southern in Hinds this weekend to make the final.

Rakaia still needs a win over Hampstead, a bonus point would make it a certainty, but without it could force a three-way tie.

Celtic on their home ground ran over a depleted Hampstead to collect the crucial bonus point win and also maintain their mortgage on the Travis Durham Memorial Trophy.

Celtic had all the possession to start with and took an 18-0 lead before Hampstead hit back, and Celtic then finished the half with a third try for a 25-7 lead.

“We were focused on playing at the right end of the field and they did that quite well to lead at halftime and then kicked on from there,” Celtic coach Warren Mackenzie said.

Hampstead put up a fight but had their backs against the wall from the get go.

“We only had eight players backing up from the 22 that played the week before and of the guys coming in eight were new caps to the senior team,” Hampstead coach Regan Broker said.

“That didn’t help us, but we dropped too much ball and panicked on attack while Celtic just played much better rugby.”

Celtic lock Ross McKay and fullback Joe Peters both scored tries in the first half, while a collapsed maul close to the try line earned Celtic a penalty try.

First-five Nathan McCloy notched up a penalty, a dropped goal and two conversions.

Hampstead’s lone highlight was a long range try to Mariota Samoa as they spent most of the half on defence.

In the second spell it was all Celtic again with the hosts scoring the all-important fourth try as they took the second half 190.

The three second half tries had McKay score a second with fellow lock Angus Lindsay and

flanker Willie Hintz going over for the other two, and a further two conversions from McCloy made it 44-7.

The win means Celtic added the Travis Durham Memorial to a cabinet that already included the Dave White and Bill Walsh Cups they took off Methven – but it is the Watters Cup they want.

they have to beat Southern and score four tries in the process, a side that thrashed them 43-14 last month.

“We didn’t handle ourselves that well last time we met Southern so need to make a big improvement on that,” Mackenzie said “It’s all or nothing but we can only show up and give it our best shot.”

In brief Southern still on top

View or purchase photos online

Southern steamrolled Mt Somers to stay on top in Senior B rugby’s Centennial Mug second round on Saturday. Southern’s hammered Mt Somers 65-0 at home to remain two points clear at the top of the standings heading into next weekend’s final round, where they meet second placed Celtic. Celtic cleaned up Hampstead 34-0 and will have the chance of going top when they head to Hinds. Thirdplaced Tinwald will come off the bye to meet the wooden spooners Allenton with a chance to sneak into second place – and unlike the division one competition senior B will have semi-finals. Methven were gifted the win by Rakaia’s default, but were robbed of the opportunity to rack up a bonus point as they fight Hampstead for fourth spot. Collegiate collected a third win of the round with a seven-try 45-5 win over Allenton.

Methven deliver at vital time

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Methven, with the Max Gilbert Challenge Trophy in their cabinet, have done all they can to secure a Watters Cup final spot.

“We got the result we were after,” Methven coach Dale Palmer said.

“A bonus point would have been nice, but getting the win was first and foremost for us.

“It was the best game we have played in this Watters Cup and all we can do now is hope we have done enough to get another game.”

With their season on the line, Methven delivered.

They out-muscled and outmanoeuvered the defending Watters Cup champions Rakaia, ending a winless run against their rivals that stretched back to 2012 including two Watters Cup finals.

The Methven forwards won the physical battle up front and dominated at scrum time, but often attracted the ire of the referee at the breakdown, and more often than not played at the right end.

Watters Cup round robin

Rakaia had two early chances to open the scoring but Josh Colgan’s penalty attempt was off target, and so too was Jackson Donlan’s lineout throw 5m out from Methven’s line.

The hosts didn’t hesitate when they had the chance as Gary Redmond pushed off some flimsy goal-line defence to score the opening try and Dan Maw converted.

Rakaia hit back shortly after.

While they had several players in a scuffle in back play, they still managed to sweep up the right flank for a try to wing Richard Burns which Colgan converted to level the scores.

Maw then missed a penalty but Colgan skewed his dropout behind the line to invite Methven back in to the red zone.

The pressure was again turned into points with lock Maikeli Mudu able to barge his way over for a second try and a 12-7 lead.

The way Methven were going it felt as though they should have been ahead by more, but resilience from Rakaia kept them in it.

Methven Rakaia Celtic Southern Hampstead

W 3 2 2 1 0

L D 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 3

The X-factor of Rakaia’s Seta Koroitamana was shut down by a dominant Methven scrum, and from open play he usually wound up with Redmond around his boot laces.

In the second half a dominant scrum provided Maw the opportunity to kick for goal and a 15-7 advantage.

Another big shove from Methven forced a tighthead under the Rakaia posts and they were able to go wide to put wing Osea Baisagale over to take their lead out to 13.

Rakaia came rumbling back, only to be denied by some big goal-line defence. Methven looked to work a 3-on-1, overlap only for Colgan to snatch the intercept and then convert his own try to put Rakaia back in the match at 14-20 with 10 minutes to play.

However, Donlan dropped the kick-off allowing Methven to move into position for Davey Maw to nail a dropped

BP Points 2 14 2 10 1 9 2 6 0 0

goal to take it out to a two-score game with time running out.

Methven initially went in search of a bonus point try and probably should have come up with one, but their hands let them down and Rakaia kept on coming but couldn’t close the gap to pick up a consolation point.

“Methven wanted it more than us and played well,” Rakaia coach Wayne Foxcroft said.

“We had been on a bit of a roll and we probably turned up thinking we would carry on but Methven had other ideas.

“We couldn’t get anything going as Methven stood up and played like they didn’t want it to be their last game.

“It means we still have a job to do next week now.”

The Canterbury region will farewell two favourites sons on Friday but Steve Hansen warns Christchurch may soon be made to wave goodbye to the All Blacks. With an under-sized AMI Stadium missing out on a Lions test, amid a need for increased revenue that’s only growing in a global game, All Blacks tests in Christchurch could become few and far between.

“Until Christchurch gets a stadium big enough, they won’t get those test matches,” Hansen said. “We’re playing South Africa here in 2016 only because of goodwill, really.

That’s one of the big games of the year and it probably should be getting played in Auckland.” - NZME

De Villiers back for Boks Skipper Jean de Villiers has returned from a long injury lay-off as South Africa began a five-match World Cup countdown by defeating a World XV 46-10 in Cape Town.

Inside centre De Villiers came off the bench midway through the second half yesterday to a standing ovation from the Newlands stadium crowd for his first game since suffering a serious knee injury in Wales eight months ago.

“It was awesome to be back,” said the 34-year-old, who showed no ill effects of his long absence and made a break to set up the fifth of seven Springbok tries.

In brief

Baabaas hit their straps

Lyon’s 200th game When asked why he loves playing in the NRL, Manly captain Jamie Lyon answers with tongue firmly in cheek: “Probably the spare time to play a bit of golf, I’d say.” The Wee Waa junior, part-time pig hunter and unabashed golf enthusiast will amass his 200th appearance for the Sea Eagles tonight against Gold Coast, and says his devotion to club burns as strong as ever.

“It’s a massive part of my life, I’ve been here for a few years now,” said the 33-year-old. “I love the club, the tradition of the place and hopefully (I’ll) do a couple more years here and still be successful.”

Since his debut for Manly against round one 2007, Lyon has gone on to win two premierships with the Sea Eagles in 2008 and 2011. - AAP

Ashburton Barbarians’ Randy Brown (right) makes the tackle against the Aranui Eagles in the Canterbury rugby league division one match at Collegiate South on Saturday.

The Barbarians got up for an impressive 34-16 win.

Coach Steve Gamble said after the disappointing loss to Burnham the week before it was good to see the side perform, with the forwards laying the platform for the backs to score some good tries.

“We have been a bit on and off this year so we aren’t exactly where we would like to be but showed we can get there.”

This weekend they meet the league-leading Woolston Rams for the third time - losing the previous two encounters 12-56 and then 3044.

Gamble believes that if the forwards can reproduce their efforts to provide their backs with more time and space, they can finish have a strong finish to the season.

Panthers’ injury list Penrith winger David Simmons will undergo scans today to determine the extent of a hamstring injury suffered in Saturday night’s 24-4 NRL defeat to the Roosters. Simmons, 30, came off midway through the first half and failed to return.

With Josh Mansour (knee), George Jennings (leg), Jamal Idris (ACL), and Matt Moylan (ankle) also on the sidelines, the Panthers will be sweating on a positive outcome.

“He had a bit of a hamstring issue and he was at a stage where he basically felt it was going to go,” coach Ivan Cleary said. “I guess the good news is he didn’t play on and make it worse.”

Origin stars get a rest

Johnson inspires Warriors

By DaviD Skipwith The Warriors maintained their confident climb toward the NRL finals by holding their nerve to repel a determined Melbourne Storm at Mt Smart Stadium yesterday.

Halfback Shaun Johnson was again in sublime form for the Warriors, having a hand in their first four tries before sealing the win with a typically brilliant individual try and kicking a minutes from fulltime.

The result gave the Warriors three straight wins for the second time this season - their first over a side above them on the ladder - and saw them leapfrog the Storm, Rabbitohs and Dragons into fourth place, while extending the visitors losing run to four matches.

Tries to Tui Lolohea, David Fusitu’a and Bodene Thompson helped the Warriors to a 16-0 halftime lead before a compelling and see-sawing second-half unfolded in front of 17,278 fans.

A resurgent Storm roared out of the sheds to post two quick tries in the left corner through Marika Koroibete and Kenny Bromwich, before Lolohea finished one of the tries of the season to give the home side breathing space.

The Storm kept coming however; Bromwich claiming a second to leave them eight adrift before the Warriors regained their focus and composure, with Johnson’s converted try restoring a 14-point margin before a penalty goal capped the scoring six minutes from fulltime.

The home side registered first points in the 11th minute when Johnson put Fusitu’a away, with the centre passing out for Lolohea to score beside the posts but Johnson’s kick sprayed wide.

The Storm then threatened out wide on both sides, first through Koroibete on the right before Cronk’s cross-kick found left wing Richard Kennar, but desperate defence from Wright and Tomkins prevented him

from grounding the ball ingoal.

The visitors were finding it hard work in the middle as the Warriors defended aggressively to restrict their go-forward, with Mannering leading the way for the forwards, and Fusitu’a reading the opposition’s attack well in midfield.

The 20-year-old then claimed his try when a midfield raid saw Johnson and Tomkins combine to send him diving into the corner to make a one-handed putdown, with Johnson converting from touch for a 10-0 lead.

They added to their tally when a quick play the ball helped Johnson to put Thompson through a hole; the backrower beating Munster for the third try, with Johnson again converting to make it 16-0 five from halftime.

The Storm looked certain to cross in the dying stages of the half but were twice denied by Wright, when he prevented the ball from reaching Kennar and then bundled Chambers into touch.

The Storm eventually crossed after an energetic start to the second-half, with Cronk’s curving kick finding Koroibete to plant the ball down, but Smith’s conversion attempt from touch was waved away.

Mistakes and penalties saw the Storm improve their share of possession and the Warriors were made to pay when Kenny Bromwich barged over to scored twice in quick succession to leave them eight adrift with 26 minutes remaining.

Any doubts over the Warriors premiership credentials were then dispelled when Lolohea finished a dazzling effort before Johnson stepped through on a trademark run to score the fifth try. A field goal looked on the cards when the Warriors were awarded a penalty, Johnson adding the two to seal back-toback home victories for the first time this year.

Warriors 28 (Lolohea 2, Fusitu’a, Thompson, Johnson tries, Johnson 3 cons, 1 pens). Storm 14 (Koroibete, Bromwich 2 tries, Smith 1 con) - NZME

Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett is prepared to rest his Queensland stars from next weekend’s clash with Wests Tigers if required after the NRL leaders emerged from the State of Origin period undefeated for the first time in 16 years. Four Maroons backed up in Saturday’s 16-8 win over Canterbury, just three days after helping clinch the State of Origin series against NSW. Forwards Corey Parker, Sam Thaiday, Matt Gillett and fullback Darius Boyd followed up their efforts for the Maroons with hardworking performances for the Broncos in a tough slog against the Bulldogs. Bennett recently launched a scathing attack on the NRL over the workloads of Origin players.

Frosty’s perfect weekend

Serena Williams of the United States balances the trophy on her head after winning the women’s singles final against Garbine Muguruza of Spain, at Wimbledon yesterday.

Serena eyes Super Slam

By Darren Walton Serena Williams has taken another giant stride towards sporting immortality with a watershed Wimbledon final triumph over Garbine Muguruza.

Williams overcame a shaky start and nervy finish to deny the Spanish underdog 6-4 6-4 in one hour and 22 minutes yesterday and become the oldest grand slam singles champion in professional tennis history.

The 33-year-old’s sixth title at the All England Club also earned the American a remarkable 21st career major, leaving her just one shy of German great Steffi Graf ’s open-era benchmark of 22 singles slams.

The straight-sets success also gave the all-conquering world

No.1 a second “Serena Slam” 12 years after her first - with Williams now housing all four grand slam trophies at once.

Turning 34 in September, Williams also won last year’s US Open as well as the Australian Open and French Open in 2015 before denying Muguruza in her maiden major final to complete her second non-calendar-year grand slam sweep.

Williams will head to New York next month striving to become only the fourth woman in more than a century of grand slam tennis to win all four majors in the same year.

American Maureen Connolly (1953), Australian Margaret Smith Court (1970) and Graf, who also won the Olympics in 1988 to achieve the fabled

“Golden Slam”, are the only other women to have managed the toughest feat in tennis.

Perhaps most incredibly of all, Williams has now won eight grand slam titles since turning 30.

“You’re looking at arguably the greatest female athlete in maybe the last 50 years. Not just in tennis. All sports,” John McEnroe marvelled from the courtside commentary box.

Williams made a shocking start to the final, coughing up three double-faults and firing a backhand long to drop serve in the opening game.

“Maybe the first time I’ve ever seen Serena serve three doubles in a game,” McEnroe said.

True to her word, Muguruza, just 21 and with only one win

at Wimbledon before last week, came out swinging and played fearlessly to consolidate for a 2-0 lead. Then 3-1.

But no one applies grand slam pressure more intensely than Williams and the American was rewarded with the break back for 4-4 as a Muguruza’s forehand began to falter.

Under the pump serving trying to stay in set at 4-5 down, Muguruza lost her nerve - and her serve as her first double of the match gifted Williams set point. Williams didn’t need a second, rifling a crosscourt forehand winner to snatch the set.

The world No.1 charged to a 5-1 lead in the second and clinched victory on her third match point when a Muguruza forehand sailed wide.

Ford star Mark Winterbottom has taken control of the V8 Supercars championship after completing back-to-back race wins in Townsville.

The Prodrive Racing Australia driver secured victory in yesterday’s 200km race to go with his Saturday win and take a maximum 300 points from the weekend.

Winterbottom holds a 248-point championship lead having come into the weekend with a 95-point advantage.

The victory, Winterbottom’s sixth of the season, means Prodrive has a total of nine race wins from 17 starts in 2015.

Holden’s James Courtney climbed from 16th on the starting grid to finish second with another Prodrive driver, David Reynolds, coming home third.

Courtney, who had crashed into team-mate Garth Tander in the past two events, would’ve given his garage heart palpitations when the pair tussled again late in the 70-lap race.

Thankfully, Courtney was able to get through cleanly this time and went on to then pass Reynolds for his runners-up finish.

Holden’s Fabian Coulthard, who started the race in second position on the championship, suffered a drive-through penalty after spinning his wheels before being released during a pitstop. That penalty forced him back in the field, finishing 13th.

Another Kiwi, Volvo’s Scott McLaughlin also suffered heartache, snaring his first pole of the season but being forced to retire after just 21 laps due to a mechanical failure.

Jamie Whincup now trails Winterbottom by 391 points and his chances of defending his title appear to be all but over. - AAP

Cook full of praise for England attack as Aussies capitulate

By Ian Mccullough England skipper Alastair Cook hailed his side’s bowling attack after beating Australia by 169 runs inside four days to draw first blood in the Ashes series.

Having been destroyed 5-0 when the sides met 18 months ago, then humiliated in the Cricket World Cup earlier this year, Cook’s side were huge outsiders to beat Michael Clarke’s

men in Cardiff. The defeat was a chastening experience for the tourists with their much-vaunted pace attack nullified on a slow surface in the Welsh capital.

A batting line-up containing the world’s No.1 player Steve Smith also failed to score a century with only Chris Rogers, David Warner and Mitchell Johnson passing 50 in the match.

Clarke’s side were bowled out for 304 in the first innings and

242 in the second having collapsed from 1-97 to 7-151 as they chased a mammoth 412 for victory.

Cook said his side’s plans for the Australian batsmen worked to perfection due to the discipline of his four-pronged seam attack of Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad, Mark Wood, Ben Stokes and spinner Moeen Ali. “It was a really important wicket from Moeen before lunch

(to get Warner) and we kept saying ‘one before, one after’,” Cook said.

“But it would be wrong to single one single person out.

All five of our bowlers were brilliant and relentless on that wicket. We knew there would be something in it on or about off stump and the guys were good enough to hit that.”

All the talk ahead of the match was about the miserable

displays of England in the previous Ashes series and Cook said the result was crucial in giving his players the belief that can retain the urn.

“It’s important for this group of players to show we can compete with Australia,” he said.

“I am sure they will bounce back and put us under pressure at times. But we have the guys who can express themselves and are a dangerous side.”

■ RUAKAKA

Opulent keeps trainer happy Matamata trainer Stephen Autridge was more than happy to be proven right when promising filly Opulent destroyed her rivals over 1400 metres at Ruakaka on Saturday.

Autridge admitted he had a few people second guessing his decision to drop the daughter of Keeper back to the 1400 metre journey after she had successfully broken out of the maiden grade over 1600 metres a fortnight earlier.

“I had a few telling me it wasn’t the right thing to do after she had won over the mile but I was confident it was the right thing for her,” he explained.

“The only reason we had run her over a mile last time was that it was the only race available.

“We had her ready for a 1400 metre maiden at Hastings but she needs good ground so we scratched from there to go north where we knew she would get the right surface.”

A $205,000 purchase at the 2013 National Yearling Sale at Karaka, Opulent had shown ability in her early starts al-

though, frustratingly, had found plenty of bad luck before breaking her winning duck at her eighth start.

“She can really gallop but is a bit of a rogue at the barrier which was the root cause of most of her problems in those first few races,” noted Autridge.

“She has jumped beautifully in her last two starts which has made all the difference as it’s just too tough to be giving them a start all the time if you are slow away.

“I think she has a heap of potential so I’m mindful of not asking too much of her now before the tracks get better.

“I think she can definitely pick up a good race later in the year.”

Autridge, who prepares the powerful Te Akau Racing stable in conjunction with Jamie Richards, is itching for the better weather and tracks to arrive as he looks ahead to the new season with plenty of anticipation.

“We’ve got a number of very promising young horses coming through so we can’t wait for the new season to arrive,” he said.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Communication and connecting is the name of the game today, with today a good day for friendship and relationship building.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) The money and professional gods come together again for what is one last hurrah before they go their separate ways.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Today’s message is that it is finally time to move on, making a commitment to your new solar year, the future and the journey ahead.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Sometimes it’s the things we can’t explain that need to be trusted, rather than the facts and figures and what is written down in black and white.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) While the doors are open to second chances, the support you’re getting from communication forces is all about moving on.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) This is a day for putting income, work and career matters on the same page and then looking at them more objectively.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) While you’ll need to keep your money and professional hats on there’s a sense of adventure and playfulness in the air that needs to be embraced.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) With a smart head for money and your financial instincts sharp today, you’re able to make smart financial choices, decisions and plans.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) You not only know what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, but have support to ensure the communication lines are open.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) As you tie up loose ends on the work front a clear sense of where the money is provides a sense of professional direction moving forward.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) With some extremely important days coming up for income, work and career matters, there’s a need to embrace today’s playful lunar vibes.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Like attracts like, with the more you focus on what you have rather than what you don’t have, the more a sense of financial confidence will grow.
