We’ve got ex-nurses in our committee and with their experience they say there is no danger in using it

Grey Power gets behind cannabis

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

Ashburton’s Grey Power has thrown its support behind the medical use of cannabis.

The local organisation has followed the lead of Northland’s Grey Power in supporting the use of the drug for relief of pain and to help manage a number of medical conditions.

Peter Thomas, president of Grey Power Ashburton, said the vote came about in a recent meeting.

After its vote in May to unanimously support the medical use of cannabis, the Otamatea chapter began petitioning the

rest of the 32 Grey Power chapters in New Zealand. The petition launched by the Otamatea chapter has gained 78 signatures within the past month.

“We’ve got ex-nurses in our committee and with their experience they say there is no danger in using it,” Mr Thomas said.

However, he said it was only the medical aspect of cannabis they supported and smoking was not something the group endorsed.

Mr Thomas said one of the reasons the group voted yes was for the drug’s use in pain relief. “People who are suffering from terminal illness find it difficult to find a good long-term pain relief.”

Cannabis is not legal in any form in New Zealand but there are growing calls for it to become a legalised substance.

In March this year Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne said he would support the legalisation of the drug if it was proven to be effective in treating illness.

A recent example of cannabis being used medically is the case of Nelson teenager Alex Renton who died after spending three months sedated in Wellington Hospital last year.

Mr Renton was given a range of drugs to stop mysterious seizures, including Elixinol a cannabinoid oil given to him by his mother.

Keeping kids busy

Winter is settling in Another batch of nasty weather hits New Zealand shores from last night with MetService forecasting heavy rain, strong winds and higher levels of snow as a front crosses the country mid-week.

The South Island will be the first to feel the frontal rain band, bringing heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds to the West Coast from yesterday through to Thursday.

MetService has issued severe weather warnings for heavy rain in Fiordland, the ranges of Buller and northwest Nelson plus Mt Taranaki while damaging winds of up to 140km/h arrive in the Canterbury high country as well as across Cook Strait.

Ms Blades advised to check for updates regularly as severe weather warnings and watches have been initiated for the unbecoming weather.

Seven-year-old Kinneir Lowe is one of more than 50 students taking advantage of Sport Canterbury’s Active Kids school holiday programme, under way at EA Networks Centre this week.

Grace Thomson, one of six leaders involved in running the programme, said it was designed to keep kids busy during the mid-winter school break.

Football, unihoc, basketball, rippa rugby, touch cricket, teeball and swimming are all on the menu.

The programme winds up on Friday with a change of pace at a screening of the new blockbuster movie Finding Dory.

Teens excited about Pokémon Go

By Emma Moody

Emma.m@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton teens have joined the Pokemon craze sweeping the country.

The Pokemon Go phone app is an augmented reality game, which combines an image of a Pokemon cartoon character with the user’s real world view. Players can “catch” Pokemon in various locations by showing where they are on a map.

Ashburton secondary school students Jayden Reid and Bailey Kinvig are among those to have joined the craze since the app was released a week ago.

The two said they had played

Catching Pokemon is keeping students, and others, busy in the school holidays.

Bailey said he also enjoys the competitive aspect of the game.

“I mean, I’m only on level eight but some of my friends are on level 19 and it’s just a lot of fun,” he said.

Jayden said they had also seen some dangerous driving as a result of the game.

“You can only hatch an egg if you’re walking around and someone said the app can tell when you’re driving and we saw some guy driving around at 15ks, so you can see how accidents do happen,” he said.

The game is being downloaded most by people in the 18-30 age group.

on the app for at least four hours a day since they downloaded it.

“I’m really competitive, I downloaded it three or four days ago and I’m already on level 12,” Jayden said.

Some of Ashburton’s prime Pokémon hunting locations include the Ashburton Domain, Tinwald Sports Club and the meat section of New World.

“There’s always heaps in Maccas as well,” Jayden said.

“Last time we were at the domain, there was another group of people playing it and they had put up lures so we just sat there and waited for the Pokémon to show up,” Bailey said.

■■WASTEBUSTERS

Council’s decision ‘not all bad’

By Sue Newman

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Wastebusters has lost its battle to have the Ashburton District Council’s solid waste services split into three separate contracts.

The district’s long-time recycler made a pitch during submissions on the council’s annual plan to have the contract divided into rubbish pickup, recycling and education.

For several years it held the contract to provide all solid waste

services but lost that six years ago.

It then re-established itself as a niche recycler.

It has since pitched on several occasions to have the solid waste contract split so it could tender for the recycling element, but councillors made it clear that would not happen and decided they would tender kerbside collection and resource recovery park management as one contract.

When the contract was discussed at a council committee meeting last week, they made it

clear, however, that while only one contract would be let, this could be to more than one organisation tendering as a joint venture.

And that, Wastebusters manager Sharon Breakwell said, meant the decision wasn’t all bad news for the organisation. “It still leaves the door open,” she said.

The council still intends to tender the education component of solid waste services, separately to the base contract.

Council service delivery group manager Neil McCann said ten-

ders would be called later in the year for the main contract for solid waste services for Rakaia and Ashburton. The option of a joint tender from several providers was not uncommon and it created opportunities for smaller, local organisations, he said.

“With this type of tender, anyone can work together.”

When tenders are called it will be the first time the council has included wheelie bin services and tender documents will request pricing around a range of options,

including micro chipping bins.

This would allow residents to be charged only for bins that were emptied, rather than paying a flat fee, Mr McCann said.

“This means we’ll have some real prices when it comes to making decisions.”

The introduction of wheelie bins made this tender round more complex than in the past and that could see the start of a new contract pushed out beyond the original start date of July 1 next year, he said.

Happily sharing outdoor skills with Mid Canty scouts

By Linda Clarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Retirement is not on Bill Hood’s agenda. He has hills to climb, rocks to scale.

Bill has seen more of New Zealand’s mountain and hill country than most, and has been happily sharing his outdoor craft skills with Mid Canterbury scouts for more than 30 years.

His adventure training was recognised recently when he was presented a medal of merit by Philip Crozier for services to scouting.

Bill first became involved with scouts through the Chertsey group in 1974 and since then has introduced many a young person to the great outdoors.

His tramps are legendary, sometimes hard, but always safe.

Mania-O-Roto zone leader Lori Rusbatch said Bill had led many scout troops on expeditions over the years around Mid Canterbury and further afield, and was always willing to pass on his knowledge.

“He has done a lot for scouting.

Bill Hood is still following his passion for the great outdoors.

PHOTO LINDA CLARKE 120716-LC-011

He is the outdoor guy; if anyone wants to take a group on a tramp, he is the first to put on a pack.

He is all about looking after the environment and appreciat-

ing what is there, and that is what Bill teaches. Don’t chop down that sapling, don’t walk on that flower.”

Bill said he had been introduced to the outdoors by the principal

of Chertsey School, Ian Jeffrey, who took him tramping on an icy stream bed. Bill struggled but survived the encounter wanting to know more about the mountains and how to climb them.

He is part of a distinguished climbing fraternity, inspired by the likes of Nick Banks, who became only the second Kiwi to climb Mt Everest when he achieved that feat in 1979.

Bill has climbed with Gary Ball, who died of altitude sickness in South America on 1993, and to this day is a member of the Dog Tucker Club, a group of evergreen climbers who still manage to knock off a substantial tramp every year.

Bill says he has climbed many mountains, but one that sticks in his memory is his ascent of Mt Hutton in 1978.

He and Gary Brehaut were the first climbers to scale up its 3000ft face in just a couple of hours.

Coming down was a different matter. “At the top you couldn’t stand in the gale. We could not go

down the tourist route the way he had intended and so had to descend the say way as we came up . . . very, very carefully.

The top of the icefall was the only place in the whole climb where you could turn around and face out.”

Has he been tempted by the big peaks? Yes, but the timing was never right. As a farmer he was also on the harvester when the weather was right for major mountain assaults.

Bill says his physical fitness then, and now, has always been important. He has run with the harriers, raced marathons, cycled competitively and undertaken treks and tramps.

His has literally worn his body out – he has had one hip and two knees replaced, and has various screws holding other parts of his body together.

But there are still places to explore. “Every time I stand on a ridge I see another valley that I haven’t been in.”

■■ASHBURTON POLLUTION

Smoking chimneys? Not in our patch

By Linda Clarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Environment Canterbury is reminding Ashburton people with woodburners to burn smarter as the cold weather sets in.

ECan staff have smoke spotters on the streets this winter, looking for smoky chimneys that mean inefficient burning and increased air pollution.

In the past six days Ashburton has been close to recording air pollution highs as solid fuel heaters are cranked up in response to cold weather.

ECan spokesperson Katherine Trought said no fines for smoky chimneys had been issued in Ashburton this year, and education was the first response.

“Our focus this winter is to work with homeowners to help them fine-tune their burning technique so that they burn smoke-free, supporting them to get the most out of their fires and reducing pollution at the same time,” she said.

“We have smoke spotters on the streets and where they see a chimney smoking for more than 15 minutes we leave the householder a bundle of kindling with instructions how to burn better so there is no visible smoke.

We are encouraging people to step outside after 15 minutes of lighting the fire and checking that their chimney is not smoking. We want people to be able to keep warm using wood, but people must be able to run their log burners smokefree.”

Repeat smoky chimney offenders will be issued a warning, before a fine, which is a last resort.

“This hasn’t occurred yet, but the rules are in place for people who don’t change the way they burn.

New air pollution rules mean Ashburton will only be allowed one air pollution high a year; that has already happened this winter.

A juvenile humpback with missing tail flukes was seen near Kaikoura recently.

Humpback made international headlines

By Michelle Nelson

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A nine-metre humpback whale with missing tail flukes which washed ashore at Wakanui Beach is very likely the same juvenile which caused an international stir when it was spotted off the Kaikoura coast earlier this year.

The Guardian informed the Department of Conservation about the whale on Friday afternoon. DOC staff visited the beach and took samples and measurements over the weekend.

“A whale was sighted off the Kaikoura Coast in March, attracting international media attention when it appeared to breach, roll and manoeuvre despite not having an intact tail,” DOC ranger Steve Harraway said.

“This juvenile whale has a distinctive tail with the tail flukes on either side missing.

It is possible that a net entanglement at a young age caused this injury, however, we

can’t be certain.”

Humpback whales are frequent visitors to the coastal waters of New Zealand. They undertake seasonal long-distance migrations sometimes exceeding 700,000km between summer feeding grounds in Antarctica and winter calving and breeding grounds in warmer waters.

They travel mainly along the east-coast of the South Island and through Cook Strait during winter, and return along the west-coast during spring.

The whale measuring just short of nine metres, may have died about a week ago before washing ashore. Mr Harraway said it was probably less than a year old and would have recently weaned from its mother.

“We don’t know what caused the death as there were no obvious external injuries,” he said.

DOC is liaising with local iwi over the recovery of culturally significant material.

North’s spare citrus heading to Canty again

By Mike Dinsdale

Phone 03 307 1990 Level 2, 73 Burnett St, Ashburton www.visioninsurance.co.nz

With many Northlanders wondering what to do with all that excess winter citrus fruit, the people of Canterbury are hoping it will be donated to them.

The Citrus for Christchurch campaign, which last year sent more than four tonnes of citrus to Canterbury, will soon be collecting any excess fruit to send to the South Island.

Organised by Lions Clubs of Whangarei, the citrus drive – now in its third year – will collect spare citrus, including lemons, limes, oranges, mandarins and grapefruit, at Forum North on July 30 from 8am-3pm.

Organiser Terry Ward said Whangarei firm Rent a Cheepy had donated trucks to help transport the fruit and Mainfreight would get the citrus to Canterbury free of charge – all he needed now was for the public to bring their fruit forward.

“Last year we got 230 banana boxes, or about four tonnes, of fruit to send down there. It was an amazing response and we hope to get a similar amount this year,” Mr Ward said.

He said the fruit was gratefully received by the Canterbury community. The citrus will be distributed through foodtogether, a collective of groups and organisations who weekly work to supply fresh affordable produce to about 3000 families. Most of the work is done by about 300 volunteers.

Mr Ward said citrus does not grow well in Canterbury and it was nice to know that unwanted fruit from the north would benefit Canterbury.

“It’s been a really good citrus season so there will be lots of spare fruit out there and we’d love to get any unwanted citrus to send south. And they just really appreciate it so much down there,” he said.

Police hunt

Blanket speed limit rejected Ruby.h@theguardian.co.nz

A plea from Mid Canterbury principals to lower speed limits outside schools will not come to fruition following a New Zealand Transport Agency assessment.

The Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association (MCPA) sent a request to the Ashburton District Council for a blanket 40km/h speed limit outside all of the district’s schools earlier this year in the interest of student safety.

The council has been working with MCPA for the past few months to investigate this possibility but believed that it would

be nearly impossible to enforce.

Instead they had started looking at alternative safety measures and as part of this an assessment was done at five Mid Canterbury schools by the NZTA last month.

Ashburton District Council roading manager Brian Fauth said he had received the NZTA report from the assessment.

The report stated that it would not be appropriate to have a blanket speed limit outside all schools but did have a number of other safety recommendations.

Council will now follow these recommendations, due to be completed at the end of the finan-

cial year, which include ensuring clear identification of school zones, a review of school crossings and establishing kea crossings (operating outside schools at drop-off and pick-up times) at some schools, he said.

Part of this could involve adding dragon-tooth type triangular blocks of paint within school zones to create narrower lanes for cars in the aim of slowing them down.

They will make sure all schools that need crossings have them and that all markings are as clear as possible. Kea crossings will be installed at Tinwald and St Jo-

seph’s schools, he said.

The council will also work with schools about educating parents and students about road safety and will try to ensure schools have on-site parking options.

Longbeach School principal Neil Simons, who had an assessment at his school, said while these measures would be a help they would not be as cost-effective or safe as a blanket speed limit. “The safety of the children is paramount.” All schools in the district feel strongly about this and will continue to push for a 40km/h speed limit as long as they can, he said.

Police are hunting a man who can be identified by a tattoo of a swastika and a dagger on his left forearm. Kerry McKenzie is believed to be actively evading police and is suspected of burglary. McKenzie has a warrant for his arrest for breaching his home detention conditions. He is believed to have been sleeping rough recently in Auckland and police believed he was involved in a burglary in the same area.

As part of its comprehensive build-up to Rio 2016, Guardian partner paper The New Zealand Herald is counting down New Zealand’s top Olympic towns. Ashburton is at number seven on the list. Find out how the list was compiled below.

Hayden ticking all the boxes A cycling powerhouse

BY KURT BAYER Anyone who’s ever written off double Olympic medallist Hayden Roulston has done so at their peril.

The 35-year-old Ashburton cycling superstar has suffered more than his fair share of setbacks over the years. A deadly heart condition, injuries, crashes and a drunken bar brawl all threatened to derail his career.

But every time he’s been down, he’s picked himself up again to soar back to the top of the sport.

After announcing last year that he was trading in his professional road cycling career for another tilt at track racing, and a third Olympic Games, not many gave him a chance. The veteran missed out on the New Zealand men’s pursuit team for the world champs earlier this year.

But Roulston kept doing what he’s always done — training hard and battling. It all paid off when he was named in the men’s 4000m pursuit team for Rio at the weekend — eight years after winning bronze in that event at the Beijing Olympics, where he also won silver in the individual 4000m pursuit.

“It was a pretty emotional moment to be honest,” he said after learning of his selection. “It was like, I’ve done it, I’ve proven a few people wrong, I’ve proven to myself I’ve still got it.

“It has been a huge, huge goal. At times, that goal seemed so distant and probably well out of my reach, to be honest.

But I stuck to my guns, I’ve ticked the boxes, I’ve had great support from Bike NZ in terms of opportunity, no matter what, they still believed that I could deliver.

“But there have been some tough times. There have been more downs than ups since I decided to come back 100 per cent a year ago.

“But to be named in the five to go to Rio, with a shot at doing something pretty special there,

is something I’m very very proud of.”

Roulston has been training hard in Europe to earn his spot.

And he admits that it hasn’t been easy.

“The physical capabilities don’t concern me at all, it’s the mental. I do a lot of work to tame that beast, and it’s actually been with me my whole career but I’m definitely on top of things.”

Part of his motivation was the doubters. “I think there was more that thought it wasn’t going to happen than thought it was going to happen. There’s always people out there who don’t believe.”

New Zealand track cycling team head coach Dayle Cheatley was full of praise for Roulston and his doggedness.

“He gave up a career on the

road to realise his dream of completing his career back on the track,” he said.

“After eight years away, the sport had moved on and he has worked tirelessly on the bike and been an invaluable leader off it.”

The four-time New Zealand road race champion, former Tour de France rider, and double Olympic medallist isn’t at Rio to make up the numbers.

He believes the team, which also includes Dylan Kennett, Piet Bulling, Regan Gough, and Aaron Gate can top the podium.

“I’ve got a silver and I’ve got a bronze, I want to lead these boys to Olympic gold. If that happens, it would be the greatest moment ever... I really believe it’s possible.”

And who would doubt him?

Tucked off Hinds Highway, dozens of lithe lycra-clad and helmeted kids whizz round and round.

They lean into the banked concrete corners at pace and streak across the white-painted finish line where Don Kirdy punches the stopwatch.

It’s here at the Tinwald Cycling Club, established in 1923 on the southern edge of Mid Canterbury’s farming hub of Ashburton with the snow-capped Southern Alps forming a stunning backdrop, that dreams are made and the hard graft begins.

The first-rate velodrome and facilities, along with passionate, knowledgeable volunteers like 78-year-old junior development coach Kirdy, have made the club, and the district, a cycling powerhouse.

Two club members will be cycling for gold at the Rio Olympics next month — Lauren Ellis in the women’s 4000m team pursuit and Hayden Roulston in the men’s equivalent.

Kirdy, who has been involved with the club for more than 25 years, remembers a “very young” Roulston first coming to the track.

While he wasn’t an outstanding

junior, with the expert help and training of his father Brian, Roulston has become a double Olympic medallist and one of New Zealand’s greatest riders.

“Hayden’s Dad really helped him when he needed the right kind of training and direction, and with that, you virtually have a champion on your hands,” Kirdy said.

Roulston’s success on the world stage has helped attract youngsters into the sport and to the club, including 2016 New Zealand National Road Race champion, Jason Christie.

Kirdy is full of praise for Roulston’s willingness to offer them advice and guidance.

He struggles to put into words the pride he has for what Roulston has achieved.

“He’s achieved almost the ultimate, really. Watching him go all the way through, it’s simply fantastic.”

Mid Canterbury is proud of its Olympic heroes. Ashburton’s Paul Ackerley, a member of the men’s hockey team who won gold in Montreal in 1976, died in 2011, aged 61. Methven rower Lindsay Wilson won gold in the men’s eight at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

How we did it We analysed information about every summer Games medallist to come up with the 10 towns that have made the biggest contribution to Olympic glory.

The final position is the result of combining two rankings. The gold rank is based on the number of gold medals won by people born in each town and city, divided by current population.

The Olympic rank is based on the number of medal-winning Olympians born in each town

and city, divided by current population. We averaged the rankings to come up with the final position.

Ashburton is seventh on the ladder. It’s the birthplace of two Olympians who have won three medals, including one gold.

The method isn’t scientific and we expect it to prompt debate.

We know some athletes might identify with the towns they were brought up in rather than where they were born.

■ UNITED STATES

‘I’m your best hope’ Almost exactly three years ago, US President Barack Obama stood in the White House briefing room and said that he didn’t think it would be “particularly productive” for him to convene “a national conversation on race”.

But in the wake of a recent series of high-profile, racially charged shootings across the country, the President this week found himself doing exactly that.

Obama spent yesterday preparing to address the US at a memorial service today in Dallas for five slain police officers and meeting with experts and advocates at the White House aimed at bridging the divide between law enforcement and communities of colour.

The President met for nearly two hours with leaders of five law enforcement groups, informing them that he considered the killing of the five Dallas police officers on Friday “a hate crime” and that he would work actively to serve as an intermediary between minority activists and police.

“I’m your best hope,” Obama remarked at one point, according to Fraternal Order of Police’s James Pasco, one of the

Miley’s Vegemite tattoo Miley Cyrus has shown her love for both Australia and her on-again-off-again fiance Liam Hemsworth by getting a jar of Vegemite tattooed on her arm.

The 23-year-old singer had the Aussiethemed tribute inked on the back of her left arm over the weekend by LA tattoo artist Dr Woo. “@mileycyrus don’t play when it comes to #vegemite,” the artist captioned a snap of Cyrus showing off the tattoo. While it may seem like an odd declaration of her love for Hemsworth, it’s no secret the Independence Day: Resurgence star is a fan of the salty spread. He told Sunday Style last month his favourite after-school snack while growing up was: “After-school Milo and Vegemite on toast, I lived on it.”

OUR VIEW

Have the Olympics lost their way?

Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

T

he Olympic Games have traditionally been an event that has stopped the nation. For the weeks that competition ran many people’s lives were run according to the timing of events they wanted to follow.

The games were something of a unifier, enjoyed by sports fans and those who normally had little more than a passing interest in sport.

But somewhere along the way, the games have lost their allure.

The reasons for this are many, but high on the list are just two – the plethora of international events that are now held for every sporting code throughout the year, and the introduction of team sports to the event.

In their purest sense, the Olympics were about individual pursuit, individual greatness.

They were about runners, swimmers, gymnasts, cyclists, competing for medal glory for themselves, under their country’s flag.

That’s all changed. The games have been bastardised. Team sports have been taken into the fold and for many athletes in those teams, the Olympics are just another event.

And where the Olympics rank is all too clear when it comes to golf, for example.

In the clash of timing between golf’s big event the Ryder Cup and the Olympics; it’s clear for some players the Olympics won’t win.

That the four-yearly event is now competing to attract the world’s best must tell the International Olympic Committee that something has gone seriously wrong with the event.

Effecting a fix is as simple as looking at what made the games great. And that answer is simple – individuals striving for the ultimate goal, Olympic gold.

The IOC regularly reviews the event, it regularly makes changes. The change that is now needed is simple.

Step back in time and start pressing the delete button. Start working back to staging an event that is truer to the original spirit of the games.

Some sports are simply not Olympic sports. They have their own professional circuit, their own international competitions.

Their athletes have their own challenges.

Let the Olympic Games in 2020 be the beginning of a new and pared-back era and perhaps they will regain their place as the ultimate place of individual sporting achievement.

In brief

■ TOURISM

Slip in guest night numbers New Zealand guest nights fell in May, snapping 25 consecutive months of rises, as fewer domestic guest nights offset a gain in international stays.

National guest nights declined 0.4 per cent to 2.3 million in May from the same month a year earlier, which was a record for the month, Statistics New Zealand said.

Domestic guest nights dropped 6.4 per cent in the latest month, while international guest nights jumped 9.7 per cent, the statistics agency said.

The country’s accommodation sector has been on a tear as record tourism pushes up demand for beds.

However, that’s softened in the

latest data, with seven of the 12 regional areas experiencing fewer guest nights.

Price regulations for telcos proposed Communications Minister Amy Adams is proposing a mix of price and revenue caps for telecommunications network operators such as Chorus in an overhaul of legislation regulating the sector and how it can charge for services.

The government had already signalled plans to change the way prices are regulated, mirroring regulation used in the electricity sector.

Adams yesterday proposed a revenue cap for an ultrafast broadband provider’s regulatory asset base, and price caps for basic services such as voiceonly, entry-level broadband, and basic broadband, deemed to be anchor products, as the preferred option.

“We think this approach is appropriate as it manages the risks arising from uncertain demand forecasting during the unique period of shifting demand from copper to fibre, through a washup mechanism,” the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment said in the options paper released yesterday.

“The revenue cap approach combined with anchor products should provide incentives for regulated suppliers to innovate and offer premium products (along with unbundling of UFB services).”

MBIE officials want pricequality regulation to determine Chorus’s pricing from 2020, to consistently regulate the network operator’s fibre and copper services, making a smoother transition from the existing regime.

“This view is influenced by the scale and nature of Chorus’s fixed-line business,” the paper said.

“Chorus operates the entire nationwide copper network and

New Zealand lamb flap prices rose to their highest level in a year, driven by increased demand from China where the meat is used in traditional hotpot dishes. Lamb flap prices rose to US$4.40 per kilogram in June, up from US$4.05/kg in May and the highest level since the first week of June last year, according to AgriHQ’s latest monthly sheep & beef report. Chinese demand for lamb flaps has helped turn the offcut into a premium cut and lifted the overall return Kiwi farmers can get from their animals. The meat is processed into a lamb roll and sliced thinly for hotpot, the dominant cooking style for lamb and a staple of the Chinese diet.

Big claim for costs Briscoe Group will defend a claim by outdoor equipment chain Kathmandu Holdings for $3.2 million in costs incurred during last year’s failed takeover bid.

Auckland-based Briscoe, which is Kathmandu’s biggest shareholder, has already paid $637,711.65 to reimburse some of Kathmandu’s costs, but says the balance doesn’t meet the criteria set out in the Takeovers Code. The code allows for a target company to recover as a due debt “any expenses properly incurred by the target company in relation to an offer or a takeover notice”.

Amy Adams by 2020 will operate around twothirds of the UFB network nationally.”

Local fibre companies, such as NorthPower, Ultra-Fast Fibre, and Enable face more competition and MBIE officials deemed the threat of regulation was more appropriate for them.

Adams launched a review of the 15-year-old Telecommunications Act last year to gauge the crossover with broadcasting and to have a look at the way network service pricing was regulated after Chorus underestimated the extent it would have to cut wholesale prices when it was carved out of Telecom Corp.

Chorus yesterday welcomed the review, saying it was “pleasing to see the government’s timetable indicates that a more fit for purpose regime can be put in place by 2020”, while Spark New Zealand said that it was good to see “the importance of network quality regulation recognised in the paper, considering the high level of consumer and industry frustration we are seeing in the current model”.

The new selection contains 10 varieties of early, main and late season cropping certified seed potatoes set to rival old varieties in both taste and harvest.

■■OLYMPICS

In brief

Olympic dream shattered A ruling on Maria Sharapova’s appeal of her two-year doping ban has been postponed until September, ruling her definitively out of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport said yesterday that Sharapova and the International Tennis Federation agreed to defer the decision, which had been due to be issued by next Monday.

CAS, the highest court in sports, said both parties wanted more time to prepare their case and also cited “scheduling conflicts.”

A verdict is expected by September 19, the court said.

Sharapova, a five-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1-ranked player, tested positive for meldonium at the Australian Open in January and received a two-year ban from the ITF. She filed an appeal last month, seeking to overturn or reduce the sanction.

The parties agreed then to an “expedited procedure” that would allow CAS to issue its ruling this month.

Had the suspension been annulled, that would have made

Maria Sharapova will not be making an appearance in Rio. Sharapova eligible for the Olympics in August.

The decision to push back the ruling to September also rules out any possibility of Sharapova being cleared to play in the US Open, which runs from August 29-September 11.

“Due to the parties requiring additional time to complete and respond to their respective

evidentiary submissions, and several scheduling conflicts, the parties have agreed not to expedite the appeal,” CAS said in the statement.

Sharapova’s lawyer, John Haggerty, said the decision was by mutual agreement and will give her team additional time to prepare its case.

“CAS is the court of final ap-

peal and this extension will be helpful,” Haggerty said in a statement.

“We are hopeful Maria’s suspension will be reduced, but in all cases, these additional two months will not impact our expectations of what can be achieved.”

Sharapova acknowledged taking meldonium before each match at the Australian Open.

She said she had not been aware that meldonium, also known as mildronate, had been banned by World Anti-Doping Agency as of January 1.

An independent three-person panel appointed by the ITF ruled that Sharapova did not intend to cheat because she didn’t know meldonium was banned, but that she bore “sole responsibility” and “very significant fault” for the positive test.

Sharapova said she first was prescribed the Latvian-made drug, typically used for heart conditions, for medical reasons in 2006. Her ban is due to end on January 25, 2018, which would keep her out of eight Grand Slam tournaments, along with the :E H T -TAP A Olympics.

Fox will appeal New Zealand men’s golf number two Ryan Fox has indicated he will take his case to the Sports Tribunal if his Olympic nomination is not ratified by the NZOC on Monday.

The world number 184 has been nominated for selection by New Zealand Golf after edging Mike Hendry (186) in the race to be ranked number two by yesterday’s deadline. He joins certainties for Rio, Kiwi number one Danny Lee and women’s number one Lydia Ko. Cathryn Bristow has secured the second women’s nomination ahead of Liv Cheng.

Spieth pulls Rio plug Jordan Spieth withdrew from the Olympics overnight, leaving golf without its top four players when the sport returns to the games for the first time since 1904. The decision was announced

by International Golf Federation President Peter Dawson. Spieth is the latest golfer to say he was not going to Rio, telling the IGF it was for “health reasons.” He had until midnight Monday in Scotland to decide. He was practicing at Royal Troon during the IGF news conference and was not expected to speak until Tuesday. Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy previously withdrew, all citing the Zika virus.

■■RUGBY

Luatua back to best form

By Campbell Burnes

Kalifa Faalogo has swapped the yellow and blue of Hampstead for a white referee’s jersey after retiring last weekend.

■■RUGBY

Kalifa ready to take charge

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

When the final whistle blew to end Hampstead’s Watters Cup campaign on Saturday, it also brought the curtain down on Kalifa Faalogo’s playing career.

But while most would toss their boots into the shed and take to watching the game from the sideline, Faalogo will be closer to the action.

The 40-year-old has now turned his attention to refereeing, and will officiate Collegiate and Mt Somers in this weekend’s Centennial Mug senior B clash.

The former lock previously refereed in his native Samoa, and has recently taken charge of agegroup fixtures in the district.

Faalogo said injuries forced the end of his playing career, but identified refereeing as a way to stay involved in the game.

“I love the game of rugby,” he said.

“I wanted to give up playing but I still wanted to be around the game because I love the game the most.”

Despite looking forward to his new role, Faalogo said he will definitely miss donning the yel-

low and blue of Hampstead.

“It was a little bit sad because I love the club,” he said.

“The people that run the club are very supportive and good people, but it’s a new experience now.”

Mid Canterbury Referee Development Manager Graham Shaw said he was pleased to have Faalogo involved, and encouraged others coming to the end of their playing days to consider picking up the whistle.

“We’re extremely pleased to have an ex-senior player onboard,” he said.

“That’s the plan, to identify senior players that can make that transition – it’s a great way to stay in the game and give something back.”

Faalogo called for his fellow players to follow the same path, because, as the old adage says – no ref, no game.

“I’m looking forward to making the right calls, talking to the players and upholding the rules and lifting the game,” he said.

“I told my boys, encouraged them, that once they retire they need to come and help out the referee’s association.”

Test berth awaits for Sonny Bill Williams

By Wynne Gray The concussion which removed Charlie Ngatai from rugby for the last few months is likely to count against him for the Rugby Championship.

If Chiefs team-mate Sonny Bill Williams survives the Olympics, he will be chosen for the All Black squad and eased back into test condition.

Coach Steve Hansen delivered that probable scenario as he talked through a variety of topics yesterday on Radio Sport.

Selection in the back three was very competitive with Ben Smith, Israel Dagg, Beauden Barrett, Julian Savea and Waisake Naholo all producing very strong form.

Midfield was even more complicated.

A fit Williams would not be used in the opening test against the Wallabies but would be in the frame after that.

Ryan Crotty had played well throughout the June series against Wales and George Moala had been every effective in his test start.

Malakai Fekitoa and Seta Tamanivalu were also involved but Ngatai had missed out because of his concussion and it was now a matter of him getting back into training and up to speed.

Selection on the end of year tour was probably his best avenue.

The Wales series had brought a number of benefits as the

Sonny Bill Williams changed leadership group and newer players were put under pressure and the coaching group had got into their work again.

Utility back Damian McKenzie had not played but it was “a mat-

ter of when not if” for someone with his talent.

Australian teams may not have fared well so far in Super rugby but that was no indication about the Wallabies.

They would be hurting after the England series and would be “competitive” when the All Blacks first played them in Sydney on August 20.

Hansen was not concerned about New Zealand sides beating each other up, “worry was a wasted emotion” and if players were injured they had contingency plans for replacements.

He would decide by the end of this month whether he would sign a contract to coach the All Blacks beyond next year’s visit from the Lions.

- NZME

Steven Luatua may well have thrust his name before the All Blacks selectors again in the last two Super Rugby rounds.

The 25-year-old Blues forward, who has operated mainly at No 8 for the franchise this season, has cranked his form up several notches in the loss to the Hurricanes and the rousing win over the Brumbies.

The sight of Luatua, along with his loose forward Jerome Kaino, galloping around like spring chickens in the last two rounds has not only been heart-warming to his fans, it has also sparked much of the Blues’ offence, which is now firing on all cylinders, even without the penetrative George Moala.

Luatua beat five defenders against the Brumbies, the most of any New Zealand forward on an all-conquering weekend, barring the Chiefs’ Tom Sanders.

He also made three offloads, which are a central cog in the Blues’ continuity game.

His 125 competition carries puts him at 12th equal overall, the best of the Blues, and is similar to the numbers put up by the likes of noted carriers Schalk Burger and Sean McMahon.

But, importantly, many of them have been telling carries over the gain line.

Luatua’s 16 competition offloads place him 16th overall, third at the Blues, and is one ahead of the Crusaders’ Jordan Taufua.

Luatua brings a high tackle effectiveness and of course is a strong lineout option, though strangely he only averages a tick over two takes per game.

Prior to the June window, he was solid, if unspectacular, for the Blues, perhaps feeling his way into an unaccustomed role off the back of the scrum.

Some pundits felt Jerome Kaino, who has played for the All Blacks at No 8, should have suited up there, with Luatua in his usual No 6 position and offering cover at lock.

But he has racked up over 1000 minutes, appearing in all 14 Blues’ outings.

His combination with Kaino is working well, and his strong ball carrying and lineout ability is complementing the speed and high work-rates of opensides Kara Pryor and Blake Gibson.

It was strange to see no ripples of dissent over the non-selection of Luatua for the Wales series, especially as he can cover four positions, including both second row jerseys.

The Highlanders’ duo of Elliot Dixon and Liam Squire deserved their June selection, but no-one would claim they could do an effective job at lock in a big Rugby Championship game.

Williamson taking time out

Mourinho determined to restore glory days

New Zealand cricket captain Kane Williamson has sat out this week’s first-class match for Yorkshire due to “mental fatigue.”

The county’s coach, Jason Gillespie, confirmed the decision to leave Williamson out was at the Kiwi’s request.

Gillespie, the former Australian fast bowler, says there was nothing sinister behind the request as Williamson prepares for nine months of non-stop international cricket with the national team.

Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon had said “mental fatigue” was behind Williamson’s absence from the four-day game in London.

Gillespie says the need for a break was commonplace for many international players.

“It does highlight that scheduling is an issue.

“It’s been an incredibly busy period for everyone.

Everybody gets affected with illnesses, injuries and the like,” Gillespie told espncricinfo.

“In an ideal world we’d obviously want him to play.

“But we felt it was in his best interests and everyone’s best interests that he had a couple of days away from the game to spend some time with his part-

Black Caps skipper Kane Williamson has his eye on a solid nine-month commitment to international cricket.

Yorkshire with a Twenty20 game on Friday.

He will join the New Zealand team at their training camp in South Africa ahead of a two-Test tour of Zimbabwe which marks the start of a relentless international programme through to late March next year.

Williamson’s form has been modest at Yorkshire.

He has scored 42 runs from four first class innings and managed only one half-century in 11 innings across all formats.

The world-class batsman has had limited cricket since New Zealand’s World Twenty20 semifinal loss to England on March 30.

He had all of April off and played just six games for the Indian Premier League champion Sunrisers Hyderabad in May. Another break preceded his Yorkshire stint starting on June 15.

Last year Williamson became the sixth batsman to score 10 Test centuries before the age of 25 and picked up 2692 international runs across all formats – the third highest of any player in a calendar year.

He was named Wisden’s Leading Cricketer in the World in 2015.

Unifying the Manchester United faithful is high on the priority list of new manager Jose Mourinho, who is determined to recapture the glory days at Old Trafford.

Former United boss Louis van Gaal failed to win over the fans during his tenure, despite an FA Cup triumph in May, as inconsistent performances led to the 20-times English title winners missing out on Champions League qualification.

“I understand that they expect a lot from me but I also expect a lot from them,” Mourinho told the club’s website.

“There is no chance we will be happy if we are not together and I think the passion (they have) for this club is really amazing.

“Always when you change a manager, I feel it is a sad moment but it is a new chapter now.”

Van Gaal’s possession-based style of football failed to yield results for United, who finished fifth in the table and scored 49 league goals – their lowest total since 1989-90.

The 53-year-old Portuguese has already begun restructuring his squad, having signed defender Eric Bailly, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic so far in the close season.

Mourinho said during his unveiling earlier this month that he intended to sign another bigname player, with Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba heavily linked

by British media with a return to the club.

The former Chelsea boss will mark his return to the Premier League when he takes United to Bournemouth for their first game of the season on August 14.

Smeltz to play in Malaysia All Whites striker Shane Smeltz is leaving the A-League.

Smeltz will join Malaysian Super League side Kedah, after nine seasons in the Australian competition, including the past two with Sydney FC. The Malaysian season is underway, with Kedah sitting fifth in the 12 team competition.

The German-born striker has played mainly in the A-League, although he has had stints in England and Turkey.

Smeltz has also won multiple awards throughout his career including the 2007 and 2008 Oceania Footballer of the Year, two A-League Golden Boots, and he has also been included in the PFA Team of the Decade (2005-2015).

In brief

Jumper chases more wins pagne Stakes as a juvenile but he has made a good early impression as a jumper.

Caduceus was fifth in his hurdle debut behind the highly-rated Danza Lad and then finished third to Beverley Beck at Te Aroha.

“He’s taken to jumping really well – he only started schooling this year,” Logan said.

Her more immediate focus will be on the lightly-tried Touch The Sky, who resumes at Tauranga today in the Citizens RSA Te PukeTauranga 1200.

“It’s been a year since she raced and she will benefit from the run, but I still think she can be competitive,” Logan said.

“She’s been galloping well on the heavy tracks and she’s done a lot of work at Mrs Browne’s place as well.”

Touch The Sky has a placing and a maiden victory at Ellerslie to her credit from just four starts. - NZME Ngatira Gold is heading to Te Aroha for an open hurdle.

Promising jumper Ngatira Gold will return to familiar territory for the next appearance of his winter campaign.

The five-year-old will step out on Sunday week in an open hurdle at Te Aroha where he was a winner two runs back after opening his account over fences at Ellerslie early last month.

Ngatira Gold stepped up to the big time last time out in the Hawke’s Bay Hurdles, but was unplaced after two costly errors.

“It was his first time in that company and when they quickened up he made a couple of rookie mistakes, but he has come through the race really well,” trainer Sam Logan said.

The Te Aroha meeting is also on the programme of his stablemate and black type winner Caduceus.

The four-year-old has had his issues, including a wind operation, since he claimed the Listed Cham-

Luisanabelle back Group One winning filly, Luisanabelle Midfrew will return to the races this week in an attempt to qualify for the Breeders Crown. The Nigel McGrath-trained filly, who won the NZ Breeders Stakes is nominated alongside two others for the threeyear-old fillies heat.

Big money on offer Forbury’s Thursday night meeting this week will be more than unlikely cold to watch, but there will be plenty of action to whet the appetite from the comfort of the spot in front of the fire. A $50,000 Pick6 is being offered up with good even fields on offer to make things a little more difficult.

Forbury Pick6’s are noted for turning up big divvies.

■■RUGBY LEAGUE

In brief

Gallen leaves Origin legacy

By Scott Bailey Paul Gallen’s State of Origin highlight was never going to be his debut.

In the same match as the ill-fated Brett Hodgson pass, 24-year-old Gallen’s entry to the representative arena in game III, 2006 coincided with the beginning of the darkest era in NSW Origin history.

Nor will he remembered most for the punch that ended all punches.

A crushing blow to the forehead of Nate Myles in 2013 that brought an end to brawls in rugby league, but in his eyes represented a moment where the Blues showed they were ready to fight back.

The crowning moment of his career so far – when he became the first NSW skipper to lift the shield in nine years in 2014 – is also by no means his most powerful.

Although it was a fitting reward.

Instead, Gallen’s legacy was created in Game II of 2011, when a colossal 80-minute, 212m performance in his second game as skipper put pride and starch back into the Blues jersey.

In the four years that preceded that game, NSW had won just won just one “live” fixture.

Since then, they have claimed six and Gallen has carried his NSW side both on the field and off it.

“As a kid I never followed an NRL team,” Gallen said.

“But I always followed NSW.” The numbers alone are not kind to Gallen.

His 15 losses from 23 games are the most for any player in

Ashburton Guardian 17

Farah ruled out Coach Laurie Daley has ruled out Robbie Farah succeeding Paul Gallen as NSW State of Origin skipper, indicating he wants a younger leader. He has nominated Aaron Woods (25), Boyd Cordner (24), Josh Jackson (25) and Wade Graham (25) as the contenders. With longtime captain Gallen playing his final Origin match tonight, speculation is mounting over who will take the reins next year. - AAP

Bird confirmed starter Jack Bird will start in the NSW halves for State of Origin III, NSW coach Laurie Daley has confirmed.

Bird will play alongside his Cronulla team-mate after Adam Reynolds was last week ruled out with a shoulder injury. Daley said interchange utility Matt Moylan would also be given plenty of time in the halves at ANZ Stadium tonight. “Birdy is a kid who is very confident in his own ability and I still don’t know what his best position is.”

Surgery for Stewart

Paul Gallen will be running out for the Blues for final time in Origin tonight.

Origin history, however it says more about him that he has been selected consistently to play that many games in an era during which the Blues have churned through 97 players.

So too does the fact he led the Blues forwards in average run metres in every series between 2010 and 2014.

Further proof that Gallen gave Blues fans a reason to believe lies in attendance figures at ANZ Stadium which have not dropped below 80,000 since he became captain in 2011 – a figure they didn’t reach in any of the games in the five years before that.

“I’ve played the villain a bit to

keep people interested,” Gallen has admitted.

And with every pre-Origin spiel, he showed not only an understanding of Origin football but the steel NSW required to rebuild from the ruins.

It’s also why Gallen understands how tonight’s dead rubber is just as important for not only his legacy, but the Blues one that carries on after him.

“The young boys moving forward, they need some confidence going into next year,” he said.

“That’s why we need to be totally desperate on Wednesday night in everything we do.” - AAP

Age will be an issue if we lose – Smith

By Laine Clark The Dad’s Army jokes will resume if an ageing Queensland stumbles in State of Origin III, Maroons captain Cameron Smith says.

But Smith is determined to get the last laugh by sealing Queensland’s fifth series sweep at ANZ Stadium tonight.

The Maroons will have nine players on the wrong side of 30 in their 17 against the Blues in game three.

Jibes about their age have quietened down of late, especially after the Maroons clinched their 10th series win in 11 years.

However, Smith expects their critics to resume heckling if NSW provide a fitting farewell to retiring skipper Paul Gallen this week.

“There is no doubt the Dad’s Army jokes will (start again),” Smith said.

“We are under no illusion that there will be a changing of the guard over the next few years.

“We are all getting a little older now.

“But we are fortunate we have young players coming through in all positions.

“The older guys are just trying to continue the success for as long as we can and make a smooth transition for the team.”

The Maroons will farewell one of their own tonight – retiring lock Corey Parker will play his 19th and final Origin.

He follows centre Justin Hodges’ retirement last year.

Johnathan Thurston has claimed he will walk away after 2017 – although is having second thoughts – while Smith may retire in 2018.

The likes of Anthony Milford, Cameron Munster, Ben Hunt, Ben Barba and Dylan Napa are waiting patiently on the sidelines for their Origin nod.

But Smith could not see a dramatic personnel change coming soon for the all-conquering Queensland.

“We are losing Corey, and Hodgo went last year, so that’s two but everyone else wants to stay around for quite a while longer,” Smith said ominously.

- AAP Right - Queensland skipper Cameron Smith determined to get last laugh.

Manly veteran Brett Stewart’s future in the NRL is in real doubt after he was booked in for knee surgery that has ruled him out for at least six weeks. The club confirmed yesterday that the Sea Eagles fullback will go under the knife in two weeks before making a decision on whether he will finish up for the season. Stewart has been a shadow of his former self this year, scoring just one try in 11 appearances, leading to a chorus of calls for fullback-in-waiting Tom Trbojevic to take over.

- AAP

More strife for Eels Parramatta’s season from hell has plunged to yet another low after claims two sex tapes involving star Corey Norman are being shopped to media outlets. The Seven Network reported that two video clips, both involving Norman, are being sold for up to $150,000 to various television stations in a scandalous extortion attempt. One clip reportedly shows the Eels five-eighth in a room where others are allegedly using illicit drugs but Norman himself does not partake. - AAP

Hayne ‘all business’ Jarryd Hayne’s next choice of sporting employer will be a “business decision”, according to friend and former team-mate Tim Mannah.

Parramatta club captain Mannah said yesterday he had been in touch with the code-hopping star but conceded their friendship would have no bearing on where Hayne ends up. “There wouldn’t be a sporting team in the country that wouldn’t want him. Obviously everyone would want him back (at Parramatta), but whether or not he comes is a decision he has to make,” Mannah said.

- AAP

Taylor bolsters Titans His coach may not have agreed at first but Ash Taylor says he will benefit from a welcome break to help Gold Coast Titans stay on the NRL finals path. A refreshed Taylor will look to make up for lost time when he returns from a groin complaint in Friday night’s clash with St George Illawarra. It sidelined him for their round 17 loss to the Warriors.

■■RUGBY LEAGUE

Vatuvei back for Warriors

SITUATIONS VACANT

Legal Executive/Legal Assistant FORECOURT/SHOP CUSTOMER SERVICE – CAFÉ BARISTA Part time: 22 hours Hours: Saturday and Sunday 6.30am – 2.30pm

Manu Vatuvei will return to the Warriors side for this Saturday’s match against Manly, after more than a month out of action.

Vatuvei, who is one touchdown away from reaching 150 NRL tries, comes back into the team at the expense of Tui Lolohea who drops back to the interchange bench.

It means that Vatuvei and Ken Maumalo will be teamed up on the wings for the first time since last August for the match in Perth (3.30pm kick-off local time; 7.30pm NZT).

The 30-year-old Vatuvei has been sidelined since a hamstring injury forced him off the field early in the second half of the 50-14 win over Newcastle on June 11.

Maumalo has filled Vatuvei’s regular spot on the left wing in the Warriors’ last three matches against the Sydney Roosters, Cronulla and Gold Coast.

The reunion of the two giant wings comes more than 13 months after they were first used together, ironically when the Warriors were last in Perth facing the Rabbitohs in June last year.

Aside from Lolohea’s shift, there are two changes to the starting pack used in the 2718 win over Gold Coast.

Captain Ryan Hoffman is back after a virus prevented him playing in Simon Man-

nering’s 250th NRL game while Albert Vete (hamstring injury) has been ruled out.

His absence sees Ben Matulino and Jacob Lillyman named as the starting props, Lillyman set to back up after lining up for Queensland in the final Origin clash against New South Wales in Sydney tonight.

Charlie Gubb, who started at loose forward against the Titans, switches back to a five-man bench alongside Lolohea, Sam Lisone, Bunty Afoa and James Gavet.

After distinguishing himself on debut against Gold Coast, Afoa backed up with 80 minutes for the club’s Intrust Super Premiership side last weekend, making 92 metres from nine runs as well as 43 tackles in a 12-8 win over Illawarra.

Gavet, in line for his seventh NRL outing of the year, has been impressive for the reserve grade side over the past month with 160 metres and 34 tackles against North Sydney, 174 metres and 35 tackles against Wests Tigers and 147 metres and 30 tackles against Illawarra last Saturday.

The Warriors take an 8-8 win-loss record into Saturday’s contest.

With eight rounds to go in the regular season they’re seventh on the table on 20 points while the Sea Eagles are 13th on 14 points.

■■GOLF

Top players prepare to tackle Royal Troon

By Darren Walton He was runner-up last year and now Australian golf star Marc Leishman has the distinction of featuring in the first group to tee off at the 145th British Open at Royal Troon.

Playing alongside Scotland’s own Colin Montgomerie and former world No.1 Luke Donald, Leishman will be off bright and early at 6.35am local time on Thursday as he attempts to atone for his agonising near miss at St Andrews.

Leishman had a 20-foot birdie chance on the 72nd hole to win the 2015 Open, only to err right before falling short in a three-man four-hole playoff with eventual champion Zach Johnson and 2010 winner Louis Oosthuizen.

The Victorian returns among a 10-strong Australian contingent headed by world No.1 Jason Day. Day, also chasing Open redemption after feeling despair at St Andrews, will play in an allstar grouping alongside Masters champion Danny Willett and Rickie Fowler.

Day finished one shot shy of the playoff last year after sharing the lead into the final round and then leaving a 30-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole short.

Marc Leishman Fellow Queenslander Adam Scott, with more tales of woe to tell of any of Australia’s challengers, will tee off in one of the marquee afternoon groups at 2.15pm (with defending champion Johnson and Henrik Stenson.

Scott has led on the back nine on Sunday in three of the past four years, most memorably in 2012 when he blew a four-stroke lead with four holes to play at Royal Troon, but is yet to drink from the famous Claret Jug. In other feature groups, US Open champion Dustin Johnson begins his bid for a second successive major championship when he tees off with Martin Kaymer and Russell Knox at 2.04pm.

World No.2 Jordan Spieth, aiming for a third career major, starts at 8.03am with Shane Lowry and former US Open champion Justin Rose.

13/7 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): What is it called when it seems like the whole world is conspiring to get in the way of “your thing”? Some call it bad luck; others call it a bad mood. Or maybe it’s a sign...

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Even with state-of-theart tools, it is impossible to chart exactly how you experience the journey. Still, you’ll be enriched by trying your very best to keep track.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Stocking your life with fun people has proven to be a stellar idea. It’s part of the reason you’re seeing a joke in most things now -- not everything, mind you. If there were humour in everything, it would cease to be funny.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Make others feel comfortable, at ease and better about themselves and you’ve suddenly more clout than the most confident and authoritative person in the room.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The current cosmic lineup is a vitamin shot to your imagination. Use your creative powers to visualise your next incarnation and you’ll naturally find a way out of stale patterns.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Some find comfort in knowing the numbers, but even statisticians don’t live by statistics. Share a feeling. It’s more interesting than knowing and proliferating cold facts.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re witty. You could impress people with that, but for now let wit be your ace in the hole as you lean on other skills: empathy, listening, compassion, curiosity, the desire to create genuine rapport and more.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There are days when you can lazily hanker for something and actually bring it to hand. Not most days though. Not today. Desire makes things happen. Commit to what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): A greedy person is afraid of being overlooked and undernourished by life in some way. It’s the same with other things as with food: “More” can often be harmful not fortifying.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The magician has to practice to pull off the illusions but once the tricks are learned, executing them is easy. It’s the same with humour, which is more magical than magic.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You may have heard the answers from your current fold, but they didn’t take hold, because familiarity sometimes causes deafness. It’s why you need to talk to new people.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ve a sense of fun burbling up in you now, and you can’t help but share it. Kindred spirits will see the sparkle in your eye, and they’ll get ready to catch whatever else you’re throwing out.

Crusaders face Laumape Ngani Laumape looks like he will be starting in the Hurricanes’ midfield against the Crusaders and the former Warrior says he is up for it.

The troublesome groin which has hampered him in recent times is “probably 100 per cent” and it will need to be to combat the Crusaders’ 12-13 combination of Ryan Crotty and David Havili. Laumape started the season in solid fashion but came off the bench against the Waratahs on Saturday night, only to miss Israel Folau straight up as the Wallaby surged to the tryline.

Taurua a hot property Noeline Taurua, unwanted as Silver Ferns coach, is fielding job offers from Australia and England after masterminding the Southern Steel’s remarkable turnaround in the ANZ Championship. Taurua, who failed to make the shortlist for the Silver Ferns coaching job last year, has reignited her career in the deep south, taking the Steel to the trans-Tasman league minor premiership. Taurua, who only joined the Steel late in the off-season after former coach Janine Southby was promoted to the Ferns’ top job, has been credited as a large part of the Steel’s change in form, bringing a stronger mental resolve to the team.

Focus on improvement

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury’s young netballers fell to four losses against some stiff competition at the Netball South under-17 tournament in Oamaru on Sunday and Monday.

Sonia Waddell’s side faced host team North Otago in their

opening match and lost out 3619 before locking horns with Southland in a 34-18 defeat.

On Monday, Mid Canterbury took on Dunedin B and produced a valiant effort in a highly competitive first half to trail 13-9.

But ankle injuries to key players Apii Terekia and Georgina

Olympic dream definitely over P13

Kelly proved costly as Dunedin B took charge in the second half for a 29-14 victory.

Mid Canterbury rounded their tournament off against old foe South Canterbury in a 33-20 loss.

Coach Waddell said that improving throughout the tournament was the main focus and

credited her players for their efforts.

“I was very happy with their performance,” she said.

“They improved with each game and got more determined in driving for the ball.

“They all really stepped up and were pleased with their performance.”

Bale misses Euro team Two Wales stars have been selected in UEFA’s Team of the Tournament for Euro 2016 but surprisingly neither name reads Gareth Bale. Despite leading Wales to a historic semifinal appearance at this summer’s showpiece in France, their talisman has been omitted from the chosen XI by UEFA. The 27-year-old scored three times in their six matches but has been overlooked with Joe Allen and Aaron Ramsey the two chosen by a select UEFA panel.
