Hundreds more Mid Canterbury buildings could need earthquake assessment under a Building Amendment Act passed last month by Parliament.

The act will take effect in May 2018, and could potentially mean another 850 buildings need to be assessed, said Ashburton District Council buildings services manager Michael Wong.

A desktop review in 2012 following the Canterbury quakes required 315 buildings to be assessed, and another 39 were added later.

At the end of May this year, 30 of the 103 buildings identified as earthquakeprone had been demolished and 25 strengthened.

“The new act suggests to increase the

construction date of 1976 to a construction date of 2003. This could potentially add another 850 buildings that will require an assessment.”

Ashburton District has been categorised as a medium seismic risk zone. Under the new legislation, the threshold for defining an earthquake-prone building remains at 34 per cent of new building standards. Parts of buildings can now be assessed as earthquake prone.

The timeframes for assessing and strengthening buildings in Mid Canterbury are 10 years to assess and 25 years to strengthen.

Mr Wong said regulations were still under development and will be consulted on; they would likely exclude most resi-

dential and farm buildings and prioritise education and hospital buildings.

He said once buildings were identified, owners had a year to provide an engineering assessment and then 25 years to demolish or strengthen.

“If they fail to give us a report in time, the building will be automatically classified at the lowest reading and we would act accordingly. Buildings will be given a coloured sticker or plaque advising the public of its grading. Then it is up to the public to decide if they want to enter the building.”

■ MT HUTT SKI AREA

■ WEATHER

Snow falls in Mid Canty A cold front brought snow to parts of Mid Canterbury including Methven, Mt Hutt and Mt Somers yesterday.

MetService meteorologist Peter Little said the front, which came through Mid Canterbury at about 10am, brought snow and strong winds down to 400m.

However, it quickly passed through the district and was making its way over the Cook Strait by mid-afternoon, he said.

The front, along with a ridge of high pressure overnight, would bring clear skies and a frost this morning. People needed to be prepared for the possibility of frost and black ice, Mr Little said.

Ski area manager James McKenzie said the snowfall wasn’t as good as earlier in the week but the wind had died down and they still had a great opening day with only the triple chair not running.

“Everything went pretty smoothly.”

Some dedicated riders even slept in their cars in the skifield carpark to make sure they were able to enjoy the slopes as early as possible, he said.

The crowds were smaller yes-

Mt Hutt skifield had a cracker of an opening weekend despite less snow than they would have liked.

A heavy snowfall a week ago had skiers and snowboarders expecting big things but wind and warm weather meant the mountain lost 50cm of snow throughout the week.

However, this did not stop people enjoying themselves on the mountain with more than 1000 taking to the slopes for opening

this will pick up with more snowfall, he said.

Yesterday’s cooler temperatures were also welcome relief and meant they would be able to fire up their snowmaking guns.

Mt Hutt had been due to open on Friday but had to postpone to Saturday due to strong winds forecast for the area.

terday because of low visibility due to the weather but some nice snowfall overnight on Saturday and throughout the day yesterday lifted everyone’s spirits, he said.

“It’s amazing how our emotions are so linked to the snow.

There are still some limitations for off-track skiing and riding but

Shaky future for buildings From P1 Environmental services manager Jane Donaldson said there had been good progress in Mid Canterbury on strengthening buildings.

“Some other councils with a lot of earthquake-prone buildings have taken no action. There has been good progress here and we, by and large, have an extremely good buy-in from Ashburton district property owners.

It is very rare for anyone to complain about the reforms. Most have been anxious to strengthen their buildings and do the right thing because people don’t want to work in or lease an earthquakeprone building.

Rural roading group recommends area for improvement The Ashburton District Council will look at options to upgrade unformed sections of Henderson Road to keep slow-moving farm machinery off State Highway 1.

Council’s service delivery com-

mittee last week approved the investigation for work on the road, which runs parallel to SH1 between Hinds and Ashburton.

The recommendation came from the rural roading group

agricultural contractors to take their slower vehicles off the highway, improving road safety. The work could be “agricultural” and similar to the standard for dairy farm lanes.

He said the urban group could look at parking in the town as part of its brief.

■ WEATHER

Weather causes havoc on the roads It will still be slow going on State Highway One north of Wellington today but the road has reopened and under the control of stop-go traffic management.

Police said the road between Otaki and Levin reopened just after 6.30pm last night, after it was shut for about an hour because of surface flooding around Manakau.

As wild weather lashes the bottom of the North Island, there are also delays on SH2 north of the capital, with some sections of the Rimutaka Hill road down to one lane because of slips.

Police are asking motorists to reduce their speed, increase their following distance, and take extra care in the wet, dark and slippery conditions.

The capital was lashed with rain yesterday and on the wet innercity roads, a motorist drove into a central Wellington building about 4.20pm.

Emergency services in the lower North Island were kept busy before the wet weather closed in.

There were three car crashes in southern Wairarapa, the most serious of which resulted in a woman being flown to hospital by helicopter.

Yesterday afternoon a 4WD veered off Tiffin Road, east of Carterton, into a power pole – breaking the pole at ground level and knocking it over.

The driver was uninjured, said Carterton chief fire officer Wayne Robinson.

“The guy swerved to miss a rabbit on the road.”

The most serious crash happened nearby on Kokotau Road about 11am, when a car and a ute collided head-on outside the Parkvale Mushroom factory.

Mr Robinson said the crash happened at speed. Two men in the ute suffered minor injuries, while a woman, the only occupant of the car, had to be taken to hospital in the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. She was in a stable condition.

“We had to use the jaws of life to cut the side of the car to get her out,” Mr Robinson said.

The woman was trapped for about 20 to 25 minutes.

She was initially attended to by ambulance staff before she was extracted, which took about five minutes.

“With the serious injuries we have got to make sure they are stable before we start cutting things up.”

The busy day started further along the same road about 5.30am when a vehicle struck a power pole.

Two men in the vehicle were not hurt and escaped the scene, although police later caught up with them, Mr Robinson said.

“That pulled the power pole out of the ground.”

A police spokeswoman said a nearby resident called emergency services when they heard a bang and the power went out. It had since been restored.

All of those involved in the crashes were wearing seat belts.

Mr Robinson said it had been a busy 10 days for the Carterton Volunteer Fire Brigade which was called to three car crashes last weekend and two during the week as well as those today.

Also this afternoon, northeast of Whanganui, emergency services were called to rural Papaiti Road where a vehicle was found in a ditch. None of its occupants remained at the scene. - NZME

■ WASTEBUSTERS ASHBURTON

Tony Woodhouse will be the man collecting soft plastics for recycling.

Recycling plastic made easier

By Megan Sutherland Recycling plastic just got easier for Cantabrians, as an Ashburton recycling plant which won an important contract as part of a nationwide initiative to recycle all soft plastics was launched.

The scheme, called the Love NZ soft plastics recycling programme, was launched by the Government’s Packaging Forum.

Local recycling plant Wastebusters Ashburton has the contract to collect these plastics.

Wastebusters Ashburton won the contract last month to collect all soft plastics from Canterbury businesses such as New World, The Warehouse and Countdown which will then be sorted, baled and shipped to Melbourne for further processing to be made into useable plastic products such as decking, bollards, park benches and speed bumps.

Wastebusters Ashburton manager Sharon Breakwell said this

was the first instalment of the scheme in the South Island and bins had been distributed to participating businesses.

The success of this scheme is widespread with shoppers in the Auckland and Waikato region having dropped off 29 tonnes of soft plastics to the bins since its launch in November last year, according to Managing Director Foodstuffs (NZ) Ltd Steve Anderson.

“Now Cantabrians have the opportunity to play their part in keeping these soft plastics out of the landfills in their own part of the country.”

Mr Anderson said the response from customers had been tremendous.

“It proves that if you give people the opportunity to do the right thing, they won’t disappoint.”

The Packaging Forum Project Manager Lyn Mayes said that until now soft plastic packaging was

destined for Canterbury landfills but now it will be made into durable plastic projects.

“We expect Cantabrians to recycle around 75 tonnes of soft plastic packaging at the 50 stores once people have got used to the new system.”

The scheme allows shoppers to take their unwanted soft plastics such as plastic shopping bags, plastic wrap, food wrappers, bread bags and confectionary and biscuit wraps to be placed in the specialty bins outside local participating supermarkets.

The Wastebusters Ashburton area for this project spreads from Ashburton right up to North Canterbury with businesses onboard in both Ashburton and North Canterbury as well as in Rolleston and throughout Christchurch.

The clear bins with the Love NZ branding on them are located at the partnering local businesses.

a presentation to the council on June 30.

Group spokesperson Jen Branje said Bung the Bore’s focus was on the water consent, which would allow the purchaser to draw 45 litres of water a second from a deep aquifer, equating to 40 billion litres over the consent’s 35-year lifetime.

The amount of consented water available to the purchaser of Lot 9, equalled the amount of water the Ashburton township would use over the same period.

“This is not about the sale of

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Anti-water sale lobby group Bung the Bore met this week to discuss leadership and future directions.

The group is opposed to the sale of a water consent attached to Lot 9, a 10-hectare block in the Ashburton Business Park, which the Ashburton District Council plans to sell to a water bottling company for $8 million.

On the back of a protest rally in April and a public meeting in Tinwald earlier this month, the group is now preparing for

Lot 9, it’s about the water,” Mrs Branje said.

“Lot 9 has to be sold and the money put back to council coffers – our problem is giving away the water to be put into bottles and sold.”

The 12 people who attended Thursday evening’s meeting would probably form the core of a committee to prepare the submission for council.

However, Mrs Branje said the group was still attempting to gauge the level of concern in the community.

“Sometimes when you form a group to take action other people think they can sit back,” she said.

“We were really pleased with the ideas that came out of the meeting on Thursday.

“It’s great to get new perspectives but we still want to know what the wider community thinks.”

Mrs Branje, who founded the group, plans to step back from a leadership role, citing health reasons, but said she remained committed to the cause.

Old Gig Road The Ashburton District Council has approved the naming of a section of road off 1023 Tramway Road to be called Old Gig Road.

An application by Tramway Road resident Alf Wightman was received by council and included background information on the area around a subdivision currently being accessed by an unnamed road. Until yesterday’s decision the road was an unnamed grass road leading to the Mt Somers Raceway Block and its main function had historically been to provide access for people attending race days. The road is now a two-lane formed road. Mr Wightman said his suggested name evoked the history of the site, including its association with horse racing and particularly with light two-wheeled horse drawn gigs.

■ RESEARCH YOUR HOUSE

Full house at museum for research workshop The Ashburton Museum was full of eager home owners wanting to learn more about their houses during a research workshop on Saturday.

Fifty people attended the Research Your House seminar which had guest speakers from the museum, the Ashburton District Family History Group, the Ashburton District Council and Heritage New Zealand.

Pictured is Lindsay Holland from the Ashburton District Family History Group using a real case from Ashburton to highlight some research techniques.

Museum director Tanya Robinson said the workshop was fantastic and people got to take away some great skills from it.

“I think everybody learnt something from the event ... discovering the wealth of resources we have in the district.”

It was so popular they had filled up their 50 spots quickly and had many more wanting to come along.

The museum plans to run other events like this in the future.

A blocked or faulty log fire caused problems for a Porter Street property on Saturday. The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade was called to the address after a house filled up with smoke from the fire at 7.18pm. Chief fire officer Alan Burgess said firefighters evacuated the house and shut down the fire which will now be fixed. The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade, the Willowby Rural Fire Force and the Ashburton Rural Fire Force also attended a scrub fire in Ashton at 1.10pm on Saturday. Fire crews spent an hour at the 70m by 70m fire.

House fire Six people were treated for smoke inhalation after a house fire in Christchurch overnight on Saturday. The Fire Service was called to an address on Daytona Place in Parkland, Christchurch, to find a house well ablaze at 1.17am.

A Fire Service spokesman said everyone was clear of the house when they arrived at the scene.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Council’s service delivery committee discussed that and other roading gripes this week, asking if their roading contractor had sufficient resources and skilled personnel.

Cr Stuart Wilson said a pothole near his house appeared to have been filled with tar without the loose gravel underneath being cleaned out.

“It’s not a retirement job to wander around with a truck putting tar in a hole.”

Cr Neil Brown said the Thompsons Track pothole needed immediate action.

Roading manager Brian Fauth said council needed to change the way it dealt with potholes, which were currently given a temporary fix then marked for permanent repair at a later stage.

“We are trying to change the contractor’s mode of operation from temporary repair to serious repair.

“I would rather see the repairs happen once only.”

Council has also written to 76 landowners asking them to trim or remove trees shading roads that could cause icy conditions for motorists.

Trapped puppy

About half were working with the council to address the issue and the others will have to pay for gritting if it is required.

Councillors were told some roads were also substandard because previous contractors had used too much bitumen, but they were being progressively flushed.

Cr Peter Reveley said council could put up warning signs around dangerous spots; ratepayers can also use the council’s snap, send, solve app to ask for repairs on council’s 2500km of roads.

A labrador puppy is in the doghouse, after getting trapped in a stormwater drain. Six month-old Maddie – who hopes one day to be a guide dog, ran off during a walk along the beach yesterday, to investigate a drain. But she fell in, and had to be rescued by firefighters. Her walker, Diana Clarke, says the pup made a lot of noise when she realised she couldn’t get out, but apart from being a bit wet, she seemed to be okay. And despite the mishap she’s still got a place waiting for her at guide dog training school in February, as long as she doesn’t get stuck in any more drains.

Teens charged after ram raid Two teens have been charged after a botched ram raid in Whanganui saw a vehicle roll down a hill into a tanker.

The 14-year-old and 16-year-old fled the scene with “a small amount of chocolate”, police said.

Police received reports of a stolen vehicle about 5am, shortly before alarms went off at a BP station on Taupo Quay.

Upon arrival at the petrol station two minutes later, police found the stolen vehicle with significant damage.

The BP station’s shop front was also damaged.

“It appears two people have attempted to ram raid the shop. However, after ramming the shop, the car has rolled down a slope colliding with a bowser,” police said.

CCTV footage of the area provided a description of the alleged offenders and police searching the area found them nearby, about half an hour later.

Potholes causing headaches Potholes are causing headaches for motorists and the Ashburton District Council.

One Mid Canterbury man took his frustration to social media last week after an accident on Thompsons Track.

He blamed a three-metre long hole on the edge of the seal.

“The end result was a blown tyre and smashed alloy wheel and our vehicle coming to a halt on the grass. Very, very lucky.”

He said the breakdown of the sealed road was dangerous in the dark and his was not the first car to be damaged at that spot.

No one was injured, but a roller door and the corner of the building were damaged. Police and the ambulance service also attended the incident, and the fire service cleaned up a fuel leak from the car.

■ EUROMILLIONS WINNER

Kiwi grandmother wins big A Kiwi holidaying with a friend in Norfolk, England, is coming home a millionaire after winning $2.18 million in the EuroMillions draw.

Great-grandmother Diana De Gilio was a day short of her 70th birthday when she found out she had won £1 million (NZ$2.02 million) and a £40,000 luxury trip to Bali and Lombok, in the EuroMillions mega Friday draw.

She plans to spend some of the money on new teeth, a new car, new house and more travel around the world, the Eastern Daily Press has reported.

“My immediate thought was

unprintable. I could not believe it.”

The retired carer cracked open a bottle of champagne with her friend Sandy Marsden alongside her at Congham Hall, near King’s Lynn, on Thursday.

The adventurous traveller was planning to carry out a wingwalk as part of her six-week stay in the UK, but was told she must get a doctor’s certificate beforehand.

For her 69th birthday, she base-jumped 192m off Auckland’s Sky Tower.

She revealed she had only popped into Great Massingham post office and village stores on

Friday, May 27, to claim her £10 winnings on a few scratch cards.

Ms De Gilio, who has also lived and worked in the UK for many years, said: “The lady cashier asked me if I wanted any more cards, and I saw this little, wee sign on the wall, for EuroMillions.

“I bought five lucky dips, and it was the fifth line that won it.

“I did not listen to the draw the next day, but the following day we stopped at a supermarket – the Co-op in Bungay – after having dinner in Wymondham.

“The lady on the counter turned to me and said it must be

a big win and I needed to call Camelot.

“I called Camelot, but it was so windy, I could hardly hear.

“They said I had won £1 million, and I replied ‘What?”.

Her plans for the money include a new house, health insurance and presents for her three daughters, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

She added: “And I will spend it on travel.

“I’ve got friends in all corners of the globe and I can finally catch up with them.

“Top of my list will be Patagonia and Canada.”

■ COATS FOR KIDS

Coats for Kids stocking up for winter With the weather getting chillier, the Coats for Kids initiative has stocked up on warm jackets, scarves, gloves and hats for those in need.

The programme, which has been run by Base Youth Centre and Hype Youth Health Centre for four years, was established due to concerns about the number of cold children in Mid Canterbury during winter.

Base co-ordinator Kerryn Gray said thanks to a fundraiser run

by The Warehouse, the initiative now has a whole lot more coats for people.

Children of any age who need a jacket, hat or scarf can have one for free.

Pictured are Rebeka Blackburn and Gareth Peel, both 10, testing out some of the winter warmers.

People are also welcome to donate warm clothes to the cause.

Anyone wanting a coat, or to donate, can contact Ms Gray through the Coats for Kids facebook page or come to the Base or Hype centres in the Tancred Street mall between 3pm and 5pm on weekdays.

Search halted Bad weather meant the search was unable to continue yesterday for a 2-year-old washed away by strong currents in a West Coast river.

Searchers looking for Emily Saunders around the Poerua River, south of Hokitika, have been unable to find her, and bad weather stopped the search yesterday. She vanished when the four-wheel-drive she was travelling in was swept away in strong currents. A police spokeswoman says it is hoped the search can resume today. The body of a man who tried to save her, 66-year-old Barry Petrie, was found on Friday.

■ HUNTLY ARREST

Arrest after incident in Huntly Police have confirmed they have found the suspected armed driver of a car which fled a domestic dispute in Huntly.

The man is currently talking with police and assisting them with their inquiries.

He was found at a Huntly property yesterday afternoon.

Earlier, Waikato police responding to the incident believed the man was driving around with a firearm.

Police descended on an area, near Fairfield Avenue on the western side of the town, just after midday.

Police refused to release details of what happened but said they were looking for the driver of a grey Mitsubishi Legnum

who they said may be armed and should not be approached.

Police confirmed there was just one man who was at the centre of the inquiry.

The registration plate on the vehicle, which also has black mags, is ESJ805.

It’s the second firearms-related callout to Huntly in less than a week, after police descended on James Henry Crescent on Wednesday morning.

The man brandished a gun during a domestic, sparking an Armed Offenders Squad callout.

There are no road closures currently in place for this afternoon’s incident but it was still a fluid situation, police say.

Dog park now has water access Dog owners using the Ashburton Dog Park will have constant access to water for their thirsty pets following the recent installation of a new self-filling water trough.

Environmental services group Manager Jane Donaldson said the new addition was made in response to community concerns about the park’s lack of water.

“Council received feedback from the community about water availability in the dog park. With the help of locals, we were able to locate the water pipe and have since built a concrete trough at the far end of the park.

“This project has been possible thanks largely to a neighbouring landowner who has allowed

the dog park water to be sourced from his own water supply. We are very grateful for his generosity.”

Water access at the Ashburton Dog Park, near the Ashburton River bridge, was one of the main issues commented on during a review of Ashburton District Council’s Dog Control Policy and Bylaw.

■ LABOUR PARTY

In brief

Labour picks first candidate

By Claire TreveTT The Labour Party has selected its first election candidate, picking Michael Wood to take over from long-standing MP Phil Goff as its new Mt Roskill candidate.

The selection was held early because of a possible byelection if Mr Goff wins the Auckland mayoralty in October.

Mr Goff is considered the frontrunner and Labour leader Andrew Little appeared to be fairly certain of Mr Goff’s success. He said after the launch that was a factor in selecting Wood early.

“The reality is it’s more likely than not that there will be a byelection at the end of the year because it is more likely than not that Phil Goff will be elected as mayor so we needed to be ready.”

Mr Goff has been the Mt Roskill MP since 1981, with a three-year break between 1990 and 1993. Mr Goff had a 8000 vote majority in 2014 and it has traditionally been seen as a safe Labour seat although it has become more marginal, partly because of boundary changes. In 2014 National got 14,275 party votes – 2000 more than Labour – but one quarter of National voters voted for Mr Goff.

A byelection could see the first real workout for the memorandum of understanding between Labour and the Green Party, if the Greens opt not to stand to boost Labour’s chances. That is possible, given the Green Party

only seeks party votes which are not a factor in a byelection.

Mr Little said the party vote results showed Labour was not a shoo-in.

“If you look at the polling, particularly the party vote, we’ve got our work cut out for us. But I’m confident that not only are the issues kind of going our way but we do have an outstanding candidate in Michael Wood and we will work darn hard to get him elected.”

In 2014, Mr Goff benefited from split voting by about 3500 National voters, as well as a number of Green and NZ First voters.

Mr Wood, who is on the Puketapapa Local Board, has stood for Labour in the past in Epsom and the Botany byelection. He is also Mr Goff’s electorate chair and was given Mr Goff’s endorsement early on.

The Mt Roskill electorate battle has already had its first miniscandal after National’s List MP Parmjeet Parmar accused Mr Wood’s partner Julie Fairey of trying to ban Ms Parmar from citizenship ceremonies.

Ms Fairey, the chair of the Puketapapa board, claimed only electorate MPs could attend as part of the official party, not locally based List MPs. That effectively meant only Labour MPs could attend. Mr Wood could also attend as a member of the Puketapapa Local Board and Ms Parmar said Ms Fairey was trying to give him an advantage in any election campaign. - NZME

According to Netball Rotorua executive member Charleen Hicks, Adams was “just another local boy” who had come down to support his sister and her Pikiao netball team while they played a match on Saturday at the Westbrook netball courts.

Adams made headlines around the sporting world this year for his tough, no-nonsense approach to basketball while playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the United States for the Oklahoma City Thunder. His team failed to make the finals, but Adams has received high praise from just about everyone in the world of basketball.

Recycling project exciting Ruby Harfield

A

new Canterbury-wide recycling project is exciting for Ashburton, partly because of what it means for the environment but also for the job market.

Wastebusters Ashburton recently won a contract to collect recyclable soft plastics from supermarkets around the region.

The project, which was created by the government’s packaging forum, will initially start with 35 supermarkets but increase to about 50 with staff at the Wastebusters Ashburton depot sorting the plastic, baling it and shipping it to Melbourne to be made into products such as decking, bollards, park benches and speed bumps.

It has also been set up in other parts of the country.

This is a great opportunity for the people of Mid Canterbury to take a step towards being slightly more environmentally friendly.

At the moment, soft plastics cannot be put in the weekly recycling collections bins but can be recycled at the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park.

Now people will be able to take items such as plastic bags, biscuit packets and frozen food bags to their nearest supermarket to be deposited in a clear Love NZ bin.

While it is not as easy as putting it in the green bin to be collected, it will hopefully encourage more people to recycle these items during their regular grocery shopping trips.

It is wonderful that we can now just collect all our soft plastics together during the week and take them to the supermarket instead of making a special trip to the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park.

I’m assuming many people previously would forgo this step and put their soft plastics in the bin, we’ve all got busy lives and I know I’ve done it.

This project should stop more than 75 tonnes of soft plastics from going to the landfill just in this district alone.

It will also be good for the town’s job market by potentially creating more jobs at the depot as the number of participating supermarkets and the volume of soft plastics being recycled grows.

A project which creates jobs and helps the environment can only be a positive thing for the district.

So, the next time you eat a chocolate bar you can feel slightly less guilty about it, because while it might still fill out your waistline the packet will no longer be filling up your waste basket.

T

he Government has adopted a goal for New Zealand to become a “Smoke-free” nation by 2025.

To achieve this goal, we have a comprehensive suite of tobacco control measures in place, including a proposal to introduce standardised packaging on cigarettes.

The Government is serious about addressing the high levels of avoidable death and disease caused by smoking.

Smoking is highly addictive.

Almost all smokers take it up at a young age.

A high proportion of people who try smoking soon become regular daily smokers, and many smokers then find it extremely difficult to quit.

The Government has implemented a range of policies to reduce smoking prevalence such as increasing the tax on tobacco.

We fully subsidise all licensed pharmaceuticals that are proven to assist people to give up smoking, such as nicotine replacement or other approved medicines.

The Government also funds a

wide range of smoking cessation services, including the free 0800 Quitline, as well as educational media campaigns like the Health Promotion Agency’s “Stop Before You Start” campaign.

Point of sale display of tobacco products is prohibited, with tobacco products having been placed behind closed doors since July 2012.

The last remaining major avenue for the marketing and promotion of tobacco products, particularly to young people, is the product design and packaging.

All other forms of commercial advertising and promotion of tobacco products and smoking in New Zealand have been effectively banned.

Pack design and product pres-

entation are used to enhance the appeal of tobacco products and the desirability of smoking.

This helps attract new smokers, especially young people.

Many pack designs use colours and images in a way that detracts from the mandatory health warnings. Standardised packaging helps to counter these issues.

Standardised packaging also supports New Zealand in meeting its international obligations and commitments under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).

The Ministry of Health is issuing draft regulations which will give effect to the Smoke-free Environments (Tobacco Plain Packaging) Amendment Bill, which has already been through its select committee stage and is expected to pass all stages this year.

The Bill contains wide regulation-making powers to control all aspects of the design and physical appearance of cigarettes, other tobacco products and their packaging.

The regulations propose the

same standard dark brown/green background colour for tobacco packaging being used in Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland and France.

Mandatory health warnings and pictures would be enlarged to cover at least 75 per cent of the front of tobacco packs, and all tobacco company marketing imagery would be removed from tobacco products and packaging.

Manufacturers will be permitted to print a brand name and some other details on their products, but the regulations will standardise how these are printed. These specifications are the same as in Australia.

Australia’s plain packaging regime has been in place since December 2012.

There is now a growing body of evidence demonstrating that plain packaging is working as intended.

Official Australian statistics show a 14.4 per cent decline in tobacco released for sale since plain packaging was introduced.

It makes sense for us to try the same approach here.

■ BRITAIN Rod Stewart knighted Some guys have all the luck. Rocker Rod Stewart has been knighted by the Queen in her annual Birthday Honours List, which also included recognition for astronaut Tim Peake and Downton Abbey star Penelope Wilton. Stewart, the raspy-voiced singer of Maggie May, Do Ya Think I’m Sexy and Some Guys have All the Luck, was honoured in the list “for services to music and charity”. The 71-year-old will be able to call himself Sir Roderick David Stewart. Peake, who is nearing the end of a six-month stint aboard the International Space Station, was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, which recognises “service rendered internationally or in a foreign country”.

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II looks across the crowd with Prince Philip (right) Prince William (centre) his son Prince George and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge holding Princess Charlotte on the balcony during the Trooping the Colour parade at Buckingham Palace, in London, yesterday.

Colourful ceremony for Queen Tens of thousands of people have turned out in London to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday as Princess Charlotte made her first Buckingham Palace balcony appearance.

Three cheers rang out across The Mall for the Queen after she marked her milestone with the traditional pomp and pageantry of the Trooping the Colour ceremony.

Surrounded by some 45 members of her family, the monarch smiled and waved from the balcony as she acknowledged the good wishes of the crowds which were larger than in previous years.

Her 13-month-old great-granddaughter Charlotte - sucking on a finger to combat apparent teething - took the event in her stride and acknowledged the traditional flypast of historic and modern aircraft by putting one hand over an ear as she was held by the Duchess of Cambridge.

Wave after wave of military aircraft

– from a Spitfire and Hurricane, made famous during the Battle of Britain, to modern fighters like the Typhoon – roared overhead with the Red Arrows trailing red, white and blue smoke to end the display.

The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry stood by the Queen who was the centre of attention in her neon green ensemble.

The nation was paying tribute at the weekend to Britain’s longest reigning and oldest sovereign with formal ceremonies and carnival street parties.

After Saturday’s poignant St Paul’s Cathedral service of thanksgiving for the Queen’s life, the Trooping the Colour ceremony was all precision displays of formation marching by the immaculately turned out troops.

Thousands of forces’ families sat in stands around Horse Guards Parade -

Henry VIII’s former jousting yard - and watched the Queen inspect the troops from her vintage carriage as the three royal colonels - Charles, Anne and William wearing their military uniforms followed on horseback.

On parade was the long line of guardsmen who not only take part in major ceremonial occasions like Trooping the Colour but are fighting soldiers. Inevitably, like most years, a few collapsed during the ceremony but were attended to.

The colour of Number 7 Company Coldstream Guards was paraded past the troops, an ancient tradition thought to originate from the practice of marching banners past soldiers so they could identify the flag they were fighting under.

During George II’s reign it was ordered in 1748 that the ceremony of Trooping the Colour should mark the official birthday of the sovereign.

Christina Grimmie

Singer killed in Florida Christina Grimmie, a rising singing star who gained fame as a YouTube sensation and contestant on television’s The Voice, has died after being shot while signing autographs at a concert hall in Orlando, Florida, police say.

The suspected attacker, identified as 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he was tackled by the 22-year-old singer’s brother, police said. Police earlier said the suspect was 21. Authorities believe the suspect travelled to Orlando to carry out the attack. They said he had two loaded handguns, additional ammunition and a hunting knife. Orlando Police Chief John Mina told reporters the suspect did not appear to have a criminal record and there was no indication he and Grimmie knew each other.

Bubbles the pilot whale dies at SeaWorld Bubbles, a female pilot whale at SeaWorld in San Diego that was believed to have been the oldest animal of her species in a zoo, has died.

SeaWorld Entertainment Inc said Bubbles was in her early to mid 50s and had been at the park for nearly 30 years.

“SeaWorld San Diego is saddened to announce the passing of one of the world’s most beloved animals, Bubbles the pilot whale,” the company said on its website.

A necropsy is planned to determine the cause of death. The company, which operates marine parks in San Diego, San Antonio, Texas, and Orlando, Florida, did not say when she died.

Pilots, which live in pods of 20 or 90 animals, are about as intelligent as dolphins and easily trained, according to the American Cetacean Society.

Weighing roughly 1360kg and measuring five metres long, Bubbles was considered the “grande dame” of SeaWorld. She was known for her ability to jump out of the water and spin at great velocity.

SeaWorld has faced intense public scrutiny over its public display of marine animals, especially killer whales.

In March, the company said it would stop breeding killer whales in captivity, but would still put on performances with orcas at its three parks.

Bubbles, a short-finned pilot whale that lived at SeaWorld San Diego for nearly 30 years, has died.

Lorde has co-written a song with upand-coming duo Broods. The Royals singer teamed up with Broods - siblings Georgia and Caleb Nott - for the new song Heartlines. The track is the third single from their forthcoming second album Conscious, the follow-up to 2014’s Evergreen. Heartlines comes off the back of the announcement that the New Zealand-based duo will play an east coast tour of Australia next month. The latest song is a little less on the industrial side in comparison with the other tracks, with Lorde’s influence evident in the production and melodic vocals. Before the song’s premiere on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Radio show on Thursday, Lorde, real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor, shared her excitement about the new tune in a Twitter post.

What’s in a name? Plenty W

hat came first, the Chicken or the Egg – or make that the Two Egg? The answer is the Alaska town of Chicken came before the Florida town of Two Egg, by about 30 or so years.

But they are neither first nor last in the country’s long list of odd-named places. In Pennsylvania you’ll find Intercourse, Virginville and Blue Ball. In Louisiana, if you’ve had too much of Moonshine, you can always visit Cut Off. The list goes on: Weed, California; Uncertain, Texas; Eek, Alaska; Butts County, Georgia and oh so many more.

For some, like Santa Claus, Indiana, the name has created a major tourist industry. Others, like Two Egg, are dots on the map that get the occasional visitor curious about the name, but offer little besides a road sign – and even the sign often went missing until it was riveted in place.

“It used to be one of the most stolen signs in the state of Florida,” said Marcus Pender, whose grandfather owned a gas station and general store where trading eggs for goods led to the town name.

“I even got a couple myself in

Brendan Farrington takes in some rather interesting places with, on the face of it, some peculiar place names. But, as always, there’s a logical explanation behind them. the day.”

Here’s background on a few peculiarly named places in the United States: Two Egg, Florida Located about 70 miles northwest of Florida’s capital, Tallahassee, Two Egg is a small farming community where people used to trade eggs for goods at the general store. “People would come in and trade two eggs for meat and cheese,” said Pender. The store is no longer open, but people can still buy Two Egg cane syrup at a farm down the road. Details: http://www.twoeggfla.com .

Chicken, Alaska Doug Devore runs a website devoted to this small mining town near the Canadian border.

He says in 1902, locals planned to call the town Ptarmigan after a chicken-like bird they often ate.

But they worried people would spell ptarmigan wrong, so they named it chicken instead. Most visitors stop here on tour buses headed elsewhere, but some peo-

ple make a special trip. “There are some people who are just obsessed with weird town names,” Devore said. Details: http://www. chickenalaska.com .

Santa Claus, Indiana Melissa Brockman, executive director of the Spencer County Visitors Bureau, says Santa Claus was supposed to be named Santa Fe, but another Indiana town already had that name.

The story goes that in the 1850s, families gathered to come up with another name on a snowy Christmas Eve. Sleigh bells were heard outside and children shouted, “Santa Claus!” And so the town was named.

Santa Claus has fewer than 2500 people and no fully operating traffic signal, but one million people visit each summer and hundreds of thousands of requests arrive in December from people who want their Christmas cards postmarked “Santa Claus”.

Details: http://www.santaclausind.org .

Uncertain, Texas Stories vary about how this Louisiana border town got its name, says Randie Canup, owner of the Hoot ’n’ Holler guest cottage. One is that when the city applied for incorporation, it hadn’t picked a name, so “uncertain” was written on the form and it stuck.

But Canup thinks the true story dates to the 1800s, when a steamship delivered goods to Caddo Lake ports. Shipping labels often peeled off in the humidity, and those boxes were marked “uncertain” and left at the final stop – which became known as Uncertain.

With a population of about 100, tourists far outnumber residents. Cellphone coverage and Internet access are spotty but there’s fishing, birding and scenery.

“When people come here, some of what they do is nothing.

They just want the quiet,” Canup said. Details: http://www.cityo-

funcertain.com/index.shtml .

Butts County, Georgia The town is named for Captain Samuel Butts, who died in 1814 during the Creek War. A radio station owner tired of people cracking jokes about the county suggested a name change at some point but local business owner Henry Kitchen started a Save Our Butts campaign with T-shirts and bumper stickers.

Hampstead downed Hampstead-Collegians in an all-Mid Canterbury senior women’s hockey clash at the Ashburton turf on Saturday.

Hampstead, who are yet to

be beaten this season, were 4-0 ahead at half time thanks goals each from Nikita Moore, Harriet Cameron and Mel Burrowes (2).

Hampstead-Collegians battled well in the game’s second period and Kate Donald found the net

twice to close the deficit, but a fifth Hampstead goal from Cameron put the tie out of question.

Wakanui Black and Wakanui Blue were both in action in the men’s first division in Timaru.

Black took on Tainui, while Blue had their work cut out

against league leaders Cambridge.

Sam Moore’s Blues fell to a one-sided 5-1 loss to Cambridge, while Mitch Moore’s Blacks will also be out to forget their 7-1 defeat to Tainui in a replay of last season’s final.

England stretch lead but lose wickets at Lord’s Wickets fell quickly on the third day of the third and final Test yesterday as England closed on 4-109, 237 runs ahead of Sri Lanka in a fluctuating match at Lord’s.

England picked up five wick-

ets in the morning to bowl out the touring side for 288 and close in on a series whitewash but Sri Lanka hit back, claiming three quick wickets to give themselves a chance of a consolation victory.

Sri Lanka, resuming on 1-162,

lost Kusal Mendis, Kaushal Silva and Angelo Mathews inside the first 40 minutes to an inspired England pace attack led by Chris Woakes and Stuart Broad.

Nick Compton and Alex Hales added 45 for the first wicket with-

out undue alarm before Compton, on 19, edged Shaminda Eranga to wicketkeeper Chandimal.

Hales survived to reach the close on 41 with nightwatchman Finn on six.

Jeet Raval’s presence will increase the pressure on New Zealand’s test opening combination for the Zimbabwe and South Africa test tour.

Raval has a reliable back-foot technique and confidence in leaving the new ball, but New Zealand provincial openers can struggle when they reach the top level.

The 27-year-old Auckland lefthander has fashioned a strong record over the past five years, averaging more than 40 each season since 2011-12. That culminated in a 59.76 average across 20 firstclass innings last season, including four centuries.

Significantly, Raval scored 552 runs at 46 away from the battingfriendly Eden Park Outer Oval.

He has played 67 first-class matches, made 14 centuries and is recognised as a capable slip.

Incumbent opener Tom Latham appears ensconced at test level for now, averaging 39.47 in 33 innings since his 2014 debut in the position.

A monumental dip in confidence would be required to remove him within the next season.

His opening partner Martin Guptill made a century against Sri Lanka but struggled against Australia’s stronger attack, averaging just 16.30 in 10 innings against the world’s top-ranked side.

He went past 23 just the once on his way to 45.

That form contrasted with his Chappell-Hadlee Trophy ODI record where he averaged 60.

Mike Hesson’s selection approach is to persevere with players through form blips.

Previous openers Peter Fulton and Hamish Rutherford received more than 10 redemption opportunities once their form slumped.

Expect Guptill, and perhaps Latham, to receive the same. They are likely to remain for the African tour, barring injury.

As much as developing an alternative opening strategy, the policy highlights Hesson and fellow selector Gavin Larsen’s confidence in Henry Nicholls.

Nicholls set to be Brendon McCullum’s replacement at No5.

Nicholls eked out 59 on debut against Australia last summer at No4 in Ross Taylor’s absence, but struggled in his other three test innings.

He demonstrated application in nine ODI innings, including a man-of-the-match 82 against Pakistan and 61 in a win over Australia.

Expect him to receive more chances before his place is reassessed.

Unbeaten Southern roll on

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

W

Round two of the Senior B Centennial Mug rugby competition produced wins for Rakaia, Mt Somers and Southern on Saturday, while Celtic picked up the points without taking to the paddock.

Michael Duff Memorial Trophy winners Southern were back at their best following a week’s layoff to dispatch of Allenton 58-10 in a one-sided affair.

The victory kept Southern’s unbeaten run intact with nine wins over both competitions so far.

Meanwhile, Mt Somers’ fine form continued on from their 47-0 drubbing of Rakaia a fortnight ago.

Hayden Reveley’s side were convincing against Hampstead to record a 40-6 win.

To Rakaia’s credit, they returned to the fray with confidence to down Collegiate 24-11 away from home, while Methven defaulted to Celtic due to a lack of personnel.

Teams turn attention to Watters Cup

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGURDIAN.CO.NZ

Waihora were crowned Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition champions after downing Southbridge 31-24 in Saturday’s final.

Southbridge, who were unbeaten heading in to the final, found themselves 31-3 down to Waihora with 15 minutes to play.

A late rally – in which Southbridge scored three converted tries – had the Waihora faithful on the edge of their seats, but it proved too little too late.

Neither of Mid Canterbury’s top ranked sides were in action on Saturday after Rakaia defaulted to Glenmark and Ashley

Bench proves the difference

defaulted to Celtic. The default saw Rakaia finish fourth overall, while Celtic took fifth place after Ashley failed to produce a team.

Meanwhile, Hampstead and Southern ended their Combined Country Competition campaigns with wins.

With one eye on the kick-off of the Watters Cup next weekend, Southern coach Michael Ellis and Hampstead coach Reagan Broker saw their ties as opportunities to refine their plans.

Southern led Ohoka 12-10 at halftime, but came out firing in the second stanza with five converted tries to take a 47-10 win and claim the Canterbury Rugby Supporters’ Club Plaque.

Ellis’s players will now turn their attention to their opening Watters Cup clash against Methven next Saturday.

“We’re looking forward to getting the Watters Cup started,” he said.

“Historically any win at Methven is a good win, it’s a hard place to go, but I’m happy with how we’re trucking along at the moment.”

Hampstead’s victory was a much closer affair with Mariota Samoa nudging a last minute penalty to secure a 25-23 win at the death.

Josua Evans, who was recently transferred from Celtic, and Bala Ula both crossed the white line

twice, but Samoa failed to convert on all four occasions.

Hampstead will now face a tough test against Celtic next Saturday in their first Watters Cup encounter.

“It will be a tough ask against Celtic with the results they’ve had,” said Broker.

“Even if we can get a bonus point – bonus points can be pretty crucial in the Watters Cup, but it was nice to see the Celtic coach supporting us on Saturday.”

Meanwhile, Methven fell to a 23-17 loss away to Rolleston in their Rugby Supporters’ Club Plate encounter, but will now prepare for Southern with the Watters Cup on the horizon.

North in doubt Winger George North could miss the rest of Wales’ rugby tour of New Zealand after hurting a hamstring in the first test loss on Saturday.

North, one of Wales’ best performers in the 3921 loss at Eden Park, pulled up moments from the end.

Wales has two more tests against the All Blacks over the next two weekends.

“George has a hamstring injury and we’ll assess him tomorrow to see if he’ll be able to play a further part in the tour,” coach Warren Gatland said.

“It’s very disappointing because I thought George was outstanding today, and his battle with Waisake Naholo was a great part of the game.”

Wales immediately summoned Cardiff flyhalf Rhys Patchell, and Ospreys winger Keelan Giles, who was pulled out of the under-20 world championship in Manchester, England.

- NZME

hen Wales led 21-18 after an hour, the texts started rolling in from overseas questioning the All Blacks’ credentials.

Yes, the performance was a bit rusty, a few balls were put down and players slipped off tackles ... but then the bench took hold.

The big difference was that those All Blacks who came on added something to the game, particularly Ardie Savea; the Welsh substitutes didn’t.

Savea’s performance could be summed up by his vigour.

I’m not saying he was better than Sam Cane, who did what he had to, but Savea hit tackles hard and spun out of them, which was good see as the Welsh were getting tired.

That’s exactly why he’s there.

The bench were heavily involved right down to the Nathan Harris try, when the whole substitute front row featured.

Wales threw everything at the match and the ball was given a fair bit of air.

They tried to play rugby rather than shut up shop and kick for territory along typical Northern Hemisphere lines.

It worked at times but I think their lungs started to burn.

After an hour, their energy stopped and they started to blow.

I’m not sure they will get any better.

The scrummaging was closer and cleaner than I anticipated.

The packs stayed up and got on with their work. Little time was wasted.

I would say a big factor where the Welsh lost was their lineout in the second half.

Jerome Kaino was getting a hand in there.

When you get a lineout, especially if you’ve got good distance from a penalty, you must win your own ball.

That’s a basic.

Kieran Read led by example in his first test as first-choice captain.

He didn’t alter his game much and played hard for 80 minutes.

One downside was that Waisake Naholo and Julian Savea lacked defensively.

George North pushed Savea off at one stage and that probably reflects his game being hit-andmiss this year.

He needs a wake-up call like that and will want a good showing in Wellington.

The decision to pull Savea off early might shake his cage.

Naholo’s two tries were good but his hands let him down.

But, like a lot of wings, you take them for the good they bring, like Jonah.

Both are capable of finishing on their day, as three tries prove.

The halfback duel also intrigued. Rhys Webb was excellent and Aaron Smith was OK, but faced plenty of pressure around the breakdown. The Welsh were aggressive there.

The 39-21 margin makes it a sound start to the season.

■ RUGBY

ABs don’t skip a beat

By GreGor Paul It’s business as usual for the All Blacks.

A hat-full of legends have gone, a hat-full are probably going to be shortly made.

That’s how it is with this side.

They don’t skip a beat and, after a nervous-looking first half against a sprightly and adventurous Wales, the All Blacks finally found their rhythm and confidence, screwed the nut and looked every inch like they did for the last four years to win 39-21.

The patience that was such a key part of their game last year has been retained.

They had to dig in to get the job done. They were under pressure for long periods in the first half and there was a period when they looked decidedly shaky.

But there was no panic.

They found the solutions to their mounting problems and held their nerve.

They worked their way back into the game and, as the final quarter arrived, and the respective benches infiltrated, the All Blacks went up a gear.

As the space began to open, the All Blacks played more rugby at a greater pace and Wales, who had been a genuine chance of winning, were suddenly chasing shadows and spending a bit of time with hands on knees, rib cages squeezing out what air they could find.

That’s been a classic All Blacks formula of the past and most definitely hasn’t been lost, especially when they can introduce Ardie Savea and Beauden Barrett from the bench and change everything.

It will have irked the All Blacks more than troubled them that they didn’t get the scoreboard to

reflect their last-quarter dominance.

They owned Wales at that late stage but there was a bit of looseness in their last pass and a bit of bad luck when a pass that was definitely not forward by World Rugby’s stupid definition of the hands going backwards, was deemed a forward pass.

The bigger issue on the fix-it list will be the defence.

It’s been a while since an All Blacks side has been so easily and regularly shredded and Wales, while they moved the ball well and have a good array of runners and decision-makers,

Better start not enough for 1st XV

By James Ford

Ashburton College’s 1st XV suffered their eighth successive UC Championship defeat on Saturday in a 37-12 loss to St Bede’s College at the Ashubrton Showgrounds.

With just over 20 minutes played, College led 7-3 but St Bede’s began to pile on the pressure.

The floodgates opened and College found themselves trailing 20-7 at halftime, despite a valiant effort against the reigning champions.

The second half saw the visitors post another 17 points to College’s five, but coach Dave McCrea will take positives from his side’s more resolute start to the encounter.

will have been a little perplexed at how easily they were creating and finding space in the first half.

The wider Wales went, the more success they enjoyed and this was always the worry – that the new midfield would be defensively vulnerable.

The fear wasn’t that Wales would pour through the middle of the midfield, it was the total cohesion and structure of the defensive line would take time to build and gel.

And so it proved.

Waisake Naholo got caught ball watching for the first try – heading in when he should have been

shuffling out – and there were a couple of times when Wales were able to blast into space close to the ruck.

But the picture was complicated by the drastic number of oneon-one tackles missed. The guilt on that front fell across the team.

The second priority will be to improve the accuracy of the aerial game, particularly dealing with high kicks.

The All Blacks are all about the triple threat they pose and their kicking game – and their chasing – has been a huge strength since 2009.

They have been the masters at turning loose kicks into counter attack and also winning back their own ball.

But they put themselves under pressure with some of their work on Saturday night – too many high kicks were spilled or left to bounce and Wales felt they were going to get lucky by hoofing high, most probably because they usually did.

On the flip-side, when Ben Smith leapt high to take a slightly over-hit bomb, he was suddenly carving through the middle and two passes later, Waisake Naholo was coasting under the posts.

First tests are never going to deliver the sort of performance everyone is after.

They are about trying to bed down some kind of basic game plan and flow.

And they are about winning.

That much the All Blacks did and they will head to Wellington now with a clear idea about what they need to do to be better.

New Zealand 39 (W. Naholo 2, J. Savea, K. Read, N. Harris tries; A. Cruden 2 pens, 4 cons) Wales 21 (T. Faletau, R. Webb tries; D. Biggar 3 pens, con). Halftime: 15-18. - NZME

Fox wants clarity All Blacks selector Grant Fox hopes officials will meet to discuss the interpretation of forward pass calls following Wayne Barnes controversial decision to deny TJ Perenara a try in last night’s test against Wales.

Fox said the rule book is clear and the try should have been awarded. - NZME

The keeper played the hero as the All Whites won the OFC Nations Cup in a penalty shootout, saving two spot kicks to ensure the path to Russia will be paved with highquality opponents. After a dour 120 minutes that was rather reflective of their tournament as a whole, Marinovic saved the first Papua New Guinea penalty and then tapped another onto the post, setting the stage for Marco Rojas to clinch victory and upset a vocal home crowd.

United taste rare defeat

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

A depleted Mid Canterbury United fell to a 2-0 loss against FC Twenty Thunder Panthers at the Ashburton Domain on Saturday.

With just 11 available, United coach Martin Fitzgerald called upon under-19 players Jamie Pitman and Alex Small to boost his quad.

Mid Canterbury started positively with Adam George coming close on two occasions, but a clash with the goalkeeper moments later put George out of action for the rest of the tie.

Small filled the gap on the left wing, but his day also ended

prematurely through injury, as Fitzgerald was forced to reshuffle his side again with limited personnel to call upon.

Despite a lack of possession in the first half, United kept the visitors at bay for a 0-0 score line at the interval.

The Panthers’ long ball tactics and heavily bolstered backline made it difficult for the home side to build momentum after the break, despite enjoying spells of good possession.

Mid Canterbury’s Greg Feutz was denied any space to create an opening with Panthers heavily man-marking the midfield playmaker, which proved effective

Mid Canterbury A in outstanding form Mid Canterbury A got off to a flying start in their opening tie of round two in the senior women’s division with a 4-0 thumping of Western Boom in dismal conditions at the Ashburton Domain yesterday.

Kaye Leigh Neame opened the scoring as Mid Canterbury took charge from the outset.

United doubled their lead soon after and headed into the sheds 2-0 up at halftime.

The second half was much of the same with Fran Clark netting to put the clash out of reach before an own goal wrapped up a convincing 4-0 win.

Meanwhile, Mid Canterbury B had a less memorable day in a 3-1 loss to Ferrymead Bays in their

women’s division two fixture at the Domain.

Mid Canterbury went ahead early on with a goal from striker Mary Taylor, but Ferrymead netted three times in quick succession for a 3-1 halftime lead.

Mid Canterbury dominated possession after the break, but failed to produce an end product in a frustrating, goalless second half.

in the absence of forwards Stan Pokipoki and Sam Willis.

With resources stretched, Pitman was brought on at centre forward – a stark contrast from his usual right back role.

But the gamble almost paid off as the youngster came close to putting United ahead.

With little more than ten minutes to play, Panthers opened the scoring with another long ball stretching United’s defence.

Mid Canterbury goalkeeper Cosmin Teodorescu was beaten again moments later, this time from the edge of the 18-yard box, to put the tie out of reach and secure the 2-0 win.

Despite the defeat, Mid Canterbury remain in the title race, thanks to division leaders Coastal Spirit and Halswell being held to draws.

United now sit in third spot on the ladder with 19 points, two adrift of Spirit and Halswell on 21.

Meanwhile, the Masters gave Mid Canterbury football fans something to cheer about with a 2-1 win over Papanui Pirates at Redwood Park, thanks to goals from Paul Bradford and Mark Abernethy.

The win keeps Mid Canterbury in title contention in third place on the points table behind Western and Waimak.

Fighting fans, tear gas and riot police returned to the streets of Marseille yesterday, before and after England’s 1-1 draw with Russia at the European Championship.

Warriors hit overdrive

By DaviD Skipwith The Warriors attack is humming but their new-found defensive steel was the highlight of Saturday’s clinical 50-14 win over Newcastle.

Carrying on from last week’s impressive win over Brisbane, the Warriors ran rampant to pile on nine tries against the lastplaced Knights at Hunter Stadium.

The visitors looked in control from the outset but a patchy first-half saw them twice let 10-point leads slip before going into halftime ahead 22-14.

The Warriors kicked clear after the break with five tries but captain Ryan Hoffman took greater satisfaction from an improved defensive effort that kept the Knights scoreless in the secondhalf.

“We made the point at halftime that we just wanted to really make sure we didn’t give them an opportunity to get back into the game and we showed that with our defence,” said Hoffman.

“We’re always going to back ourselves to score points but to defensively hold them to zero is something we’re really happy about.”

Scoring 86 points in their last

two outings, the Warriors have improved their win-loss record to six and seven to surge into eighth spot on the premiership ladder.

Another dominant forward effort provided front-foot ball to allow playmakers Issac Luke, Shaun Johnson and Thomas Leuluai to dictate terms, and backline youngsters Solomone Kata, Tui Lolohea and four-try stand-out David Fusitu’a are reaping the rewards.

While their combinations continue to develop, coach Andrew McFadden credited his side’s ability to both absorb and build pressure.

“If we can just control possession, that’s a big part of our game,” he said.

“They were really physical, they got off the line and they were aggressive, but we kept our composure under those moments and managed to find the line.”

The unforced errors and cheap penalties that marred their early season efforts have been drastically reduced, and the past two games have also seen the Warriors enjoy their fair share of luck.

They benefited from good fortune when kicks rebounded off Knights players in the lead-up

David Fusitu’a ran in four tries for the Warriors on Saturday.

to Manu Vatuvei crossing in the 23rd minute and Fusitu’a’s second in the 49th minute, but an

improved mind-set and greater intensity has helped them get the rub of the green.

“When you’re competing hard you make your luck,” he said.

“That’s what we believe and that’s what we’re doing at the moment.

“The bounce of the ball sometimes goes with you and sometimes goes against you and we’ve probably been getting a bit of luck lately.”

They now eye a third-straight win when they host the struggling Sydney Roosters at Mt Smart Stadium on Sunday, but are sweating on the fitness of Vatuvei, who has a hamstring strain.

The 15th-placed Roosters are a shadow of the team that claimed the minor premiership in each of the three past seasons, but McFadden insists the Warriors are not getting ahead of themselves.

“We’re feeling good about our game.

“We can never get too carried away, it’s only two wins now and there’s a long way to go.

“But the positive thing is we feel confident in our game, we’re getting that confidence and we’ve just got to keep working hard.”

Dogs to take out disappointment on Dragons

By Steve Zemek After convincing themselves they’re good enough to match it with the best in the NRL, Canterbury are readying to take out their frustrations on St George Illawarra tonight.

While Des Hasler’s Bulldogs left ANZ Stadium disappointed and without two points following their last-gasp loss to Cronulla last Monday night, it did prove a point about whether they could

M3

match it with the best sides in the competition.

After yo-yoing form in the first 13 weeks, their clash with the Dragons shapes as an important test and Hasler said he was viewing it as a “four-point game”.

A win heading into the bye would provide their top eight hopes with a real shot in the arm, but equally important is denying the Dragons, who also sit on 14 points, a chance to move ahead of them.

“A win is important at this stage of the year given the congestion,” Hasler said yesterday.

“The players were pretty disappointed coming off the Cronulla game. Given the fact they had reason to think they had done enough to win.

“Footy being the way it is, we lost the game in the dying seconds.

“So it’s important to win, particularly going into the bye.”

Tonight’s match will be the first

time the two sides have met since the Dogs knocked the Dragons from the semi-finals in a golden point thriller last year.

Hasler confirmed frequentlycriticised back-rower Tony Williams had earned a first-grade recall, after Adam Elliott succumbed to a hamstring injury.

■ MOTOR RACING

Dunlop makes it a TT double Northern Ireland’s Michael Dunlop has completed a ‘big bike’ double on the Isle of Man by securing the second Senior TT success of his career on the weekend.

The 27-year-old was a start-to-finish winner, beating Ian Hutchinson by 31 seconds to take his overall tally of victories to 13.

The Hawk BMW rider set a new race record and set an absolute lap record of 133.962mph on his second lap.

The win means he is now one win behind Hutchinson and Mike Hailwood He said: “If I knew I was so close to 134mph I would have pushed even harder.

“I was peeved after Wednesday and really wanted this one.

“It’s a fantastic bike and the crowd was massive out on the course.

“I wanted to show the other boys what I was made of today.”

Morecambe’s John McGuinness was third, 33 seconds behind runnerup Hutchinson, who had clinched a hat-trick on the island’s iconic track for the second year in a row earlier in the week.

Hutchinson said: “It’s been a great week, so I can’t complain. The Tyco BMW bike was amazing.”

Michael Dunlop roared to victory in the Isle of Man Senior TT. McGuinness added: “What can you say?

“It is a pleasure to be on the podium with two such excellent young riders. I love this place and I already can’t wait to get back next year.”

Dean Harrison was fourth, Kiwi Bruce Anstey fifth and Conor Cummins sixth.

The blue riband event of the meeting started three hours later than scheduled after mist on various parts

of the circuit caused a series of delays to the schedule for the final day of racing.

As has been the case throughout the practice and race fortnight, Dunlop and Hutchinson set the pace from the start, with Dunlop establishing a narrow 2.8-second lead over his rival at the end of the opening lap thanks to a speed of 133.256mph.

The fastest-ever lap of the Mountain Course helped him to extend his advantage to 9.3 seconds by the end of lap two, and the Ballymoney man maintained a steady pace to repeat his Senior triumph of 2014.

Among the high-profile retirements were Norton rider David Johnson, Gary Johnson and Peter Hickman, who held third place at the end of lap one.

Meanwhile, two motorcyclists have been killed in separate accidents on the island, taking the number of fatalities at the event to five.

Former TT winner Ian Bell 58, of Bedlington, Northumberland, died in a crash during a sidecar race.

Andrew Soar 32, of Loughborough, Leicestershire, described as an “experienced competitor”, was killed during the senior race. Bell, was competing with his son, Carl, who was said to be unharmed.

■ NETBALL

Vixens in crushing win over Mystics The Melbourne Vixens have kept their finals hopes alive with an emphatic 69-46 victory over New Zealand’s Northern Mystics in the transTasman netball clash at Hisense Arena yesterday.

The 23-goal win sees the Vixens improve their season record to six wins and four losses and extends their streak against the Mystics (2-8, 1 draw) to five.

The Vixens move back into third on the ladder and lead the West Coast Fever on goal difference with both sides on 12 competition points.

In a must-win game, Vixens goal shooter Karyn Bailey recovered from an unusually wobbly start to top

score with a career-best 52 goals from 58 attempts at 90 per cent accuracy.

Bailey received good support from Alice Teague-Neeld who scored 15 from 24 was paired against fierce Kiwi defender Anna Harrison, who was celebrating her 50th game.

New Zealand international Maria Tutaia was a standout for her side, scoring 19 from 25 while under the tough defence of Jo Weston and Geva Mentor.

Imposing 203cm Mystics shooter Megan Craig was immense under the high ball into goal and finished with 20 goals from 23 attempts, in three quarters.

After a slow start to the first quar-

ter, the Vixens were out of the blocks fastest at every other change, piling on five unanswered goals to set up the 11 goal lead they would take to half time (34-23) and storming to a 16 goal advantage just minutes into the third quarter.

Taking a 53-36 lead to the final break, the Vixens seemed to have the all-important goal differential in mind and combined to increase their lead to 23 goals and 108.5 on goal differential to the Fever’s 107.8.

With three regular rounds remaining, the Vixens play the West Coast Fever next week at Hisense Arena to determine third place and a spot in the finals.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): “I’m going to step in; I’m going to take care,” the second in command will say. But you’re first in command, and you’ll let everyone know you’re in charge and handling it all.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): How many different ways can you express your love? This will be the question, and you’ll take a specific (not scattershot) approach and express it like no one else ever has.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When you pass the torch and it’s still burning, it’s the responsibility of the next person to keep it burning still. You’ll be a torch passer, so pick your person well.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Uncanny incidents are just too coincidental for your comfort: Is someone trying to pull one over on you? If so, they picked the wrong mark. Step back and take a long, hard look.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You think it takes a while to know a person? Well, not so much. One look and 15 seconds can do 80 percent of the job. The rest will get done in a few interesting conversations tonight.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Every moment is a chance to grow or an opportunity to retreat. What do you think today’s challenge is about? Which way would be more appropriate? How should you fight the good fight?

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The in-between spots are the worst. So uncomfortable. You wish you were here or there, but you’re neither and you’re both.

Well, at least you’re you, with that pretty smile.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Taking liberties could make you a star or an outcast, depending on the situation. In the case of today, you’ll be driven to a more outrageous choice that could potentially help many while bringing you a glow of fame.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): People sound different when they are under stress or in attractionmode. Your attention to the subtleties will tip you off as to what is going on with someone close to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): If your day had a mantra, it would be along the lines of, “Tell me what I don’t already know.” And the good news is you’ll find a nugget of information that lights up your brain.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): As far as the people around you go, you may find that it’s harder to organise them to your purposes than you thought it would be. The fact is, no one will know your rhythm until you start banging the drum.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The most romantic people are the ones who feel their emotions keenly.

It’s seen as a weakness in some places, a strength in others. So which arena are you in?

All Black days are gone Former All Blacks winger Cory Jane has conceded that his days in a black jersey are over. Jane said he didn’t even bother to return a complimentary call from coach Steve Hansen when the All Blacks squad was named, because he didn’t need to hear he didn’t make it. “I didn’t need reasons,” Jane said. “I’m not going to be an All Black again, and I know that.” Jane told Veitch that he was leaving his All Blacks dream behind and was looking towards a future in Japan.

Barker outshines clubmate

Lee Barker took out top honours at the Methven Squash Open on Saturday after downing Ashburton clubmate Steve Leckie in a highly competitive final.

In the B grade, Mitch Sim saw off Glenn Hayward in the final while Logan Ford and Cale Tooney were the best of the tournament’s C and D grades respectively.

Meanwhile, Julie Smith won

the Ladies Open over Christina Lima.

Methven Squash Club president Steve Sim said the tournament was enjoyed by all, with a high level of squash on show.

“The tournament ran well and

was again well supported by other local clubs, our own members and some terrific sponsors,” he said.

“It was great to see some quality squash being played in good spirit across all of the grades.”

Welshmen have had their best shot at glory

oodbye Wales.

You had your chance.

Goodbye Julian Savea you also had your chance.

The touring side will get smashed in the next two tests after failing to kick on and make history at Eden Park.

Coach Warren Gatland’s claim that Wales were “brilliant for 60 minutes” is disingenuous because a huge number of test matches are resolved in the last

quarter – that’s what the game is all about.

Claiming 60 minutes of brilliance – an overstatement in itself – is as relevant as losing a game and declaring victory in the scrums. Who cares? The scoreboard said 39-21. Try spinning that, Gatty.

When it came to the crunch, too few Welsh players had enough self belief or petrol in the tank.

Gatland didn’t believe in his bench, and probably with good

reason. There were no game turners available to counter the All Black reserves’ telling impact.

Wales won’t get many better chances in this country. It’s 63 years and counting overall. With the old midfield firm having gone and Sonny Bill Williams unavailable, the All Blacks’ backline had an off-day.

Yet they were not made to pay for individual and collective frailties.

Julian Savea deserved to be

The Steel rolled the Firebirds like a bona fide southern ‘r’ in their top-ofthe-table ANZ netball championship match on Saturday. Amid a cacophony of blue thundersticks in Dunedin’s Edgar Centre, the Noeline Tauruacoached franchise outwitted their Queensland counterparts 66-51 using a strategy maximising speed and accuracy. The Steel midcourt of captain Wendy Frew, Shannon Francois and Gina Crampton delivered the sort of service any courier company would love to recruit.

dropped before this match, and he played true to his lethargic 2016 form. Wales’ best runners got outside him, even though the touchline was within touching distance.

Quite incredibly, Savea’s test career could be in trouble.

Naholo had strong moments but made more errors in one test than Cory Jane made in 10.

The All Black forwards are warming to their task.

Once the backs click, Wales will get blown away.

Mickelson set to pounce Daniel Berger birdied two of the last three holes to retain a three-stroke lead after the third round of the St Jude Classic as five-times major champion Phil Mickelson lurked in a tie for second place. American Berger yesterday rebounded from a doublebogey at the par-three 14th where he found water off the tee by picking up shots at the 16th and 17th on the way to a one-under 69 at the TPC Southwind in Memphis. Mickelson will be in the group ahead of the leader in the final round, something he feels could work in his favour.
