Rudd to miss AC/DC’s NZ show Veteran rockers AC/DC have confirmed Phil Rudd will not be drumming for the band when they perform in his adopted New Zealand later this year.

The drummer lost his place on the group’s 2015 world tour when he became embroiled in a legal case in New Zealand following his arrest on suspicion of ordering the killing of two men. The murder plot charge was later dropped, but he pleaded guilty to drug possession charges and one count of threatening to kill in April and now faces a potential seven-year jail spell. Rudd has been vocal about wanting to return to the band following his conviction, but AC/DC’s tour manager Garry Van Egmond has now confirmed the musician will not be asked back for the New Zealand shows.

Aussies can’t tune out the TV Australians just can’t switch off their televisions. They’re drawn to the alluring light for an average of three hours at home each day. While this number has dropped by a few minutes a day since the first quarter of 2014, Australians are still tuning in for an average of 89 and a half hours of broadcast TV every month.

And often, one screen is not enough. One in four Australians use an internet-connected device while turning on the telly each day, while a third of people have two devices operating alongside their TV, according to the Australian Multi-Screen Report co-authored by Regional Tam, OzTam and Neilsen.

US pastor calls Jenner ‘filthy animal’ A controversial American pastor has gone head-to-head with Kyle and Jackie O over Caitlyn Jenner, who he calls an “evil filthy animal”. Pastor Stephen Anderson of the Faithful Word Baptist Church has previously told his Arizona congregation he hopes Caitlyn Jenner dies and goes to hell. In his sermon, the controversial preacher called Jenner a “transfreak” who “mutilated his body”. “This is a filthy, bizarre world that we live in when this Bruce Jenner is being praised by our president, Barack Obama, as some kind of hero,” he told Kiis 1065’s Kyle and Jackie O show yesterday.

“You are spreading such hateful messages and this is part of the problem when it comes to teenage suicide,” Jackie O said. “The rates are so high in the transgender community because of bullying and nonacceptance from people like you.” “Amen,” Kyle said.

But pastor Anderson thought the real problem was that LGBT people weren’t more fearful to come out.

Former Shorty star buys St Kevin’s Arcade Paul Reid, who initially hit the limelight when he played troubled teen Marshall Heywood on Shortland Street from 2001 to 2004 and was a member of pop punk band Rubicon, is now the owner of an Auckland property management company IconiCity. Mr Reid said he was passionate about St Kevin’s Arcade, and hoped to restore it.

The Herald understands he is part of a group that has bought the arcade – a 91-year-old space which overlooks Myers Park and the city, and houses an eclectic mix of bars, eateries, and boutique shops.

Rumours of the sale of the arcade, which was given a capital value of $7.8 million by Auckland Council in July last year, were rife on social media – with talk of it being re-developed into an upmarket foodcourt, like Ponsonby Central, signifying the gentrification of K’ Rd. Many took to Twitter to share their disbelief, with Paula Korunic writing, “Please let the Rubicon/St Kevin’s Arcade rumour be the result of someone’s warped sense of humour”.

The Fancy hitmaker, who’s had a nose job and breast enhancement surgery, was spotted coming out of a clinic in Beverly Hills this week with a red, blotchy face. Now she’s revealed she underwent a procedure which is designed to give patients younger-looking skin.

However, Azalea, 25, admits the immediate aftereffects left her looking like fictional character Harvey Dent, aka TwoFace, from the Batman franchise, who has burns covering half his face.

■ LIVE ANIMAL EXPORTS

Stock will be well treated: ambassador

BY NADINE PORTER

NADINE.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The 45,000 sheep and 3000 cattle exported live from Timaru will be treated as humanely in Mexico as they would here and are urgent breeding replacements for sheep lost in a severe drought, according to the Mexican ambassador.

Ambassador Leonora Rueda said New Zealanders’ knowledge of modern Mexico and animal welfare practices was “very low”.

“People get their ideas from the international media that talk about drug dealers but unfortunately there is little knowledge about modern Mexico, including that it is a member of the G20.”

Mexico was a huge country of two million square kilometres with more than 122 million people and the drought had af-

fected the agriculture and livestock industries severely, she said.

Recent reports indicated agricultural production will fall by 40 per cent this year with 1.7 million cattle dying of starvation and thirst. Large numbers of sheep have also died, creating the need for breeding replacements.

Ambassador Rueda said

Mexico traditionally imported a third of its sheep from New Zealand and used them for breeding.

Save Animals From Exploitation (SAFE) director Hans Kriek claimed there was no guarantee how the sheep would be treated once they reached Mexico.

However, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Canada, Mexico, and the United States meant there were strict protocols around the handling and slaughter of livestock, the ambassador said, and we are “constantly under surveillance”, she said.

“The welfare of our livestock is very important as it has an impact economically … If the sheep coming (from New Zealand) are damaged it would be against the interest of both parties.”

Saudi sheep scandal has coloured people’s outlook

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Labour’s trade spokesman has admitted outrage over a live sheep export would not have been as strong had it not come on the heels of the Saudi sheep scandal.

Opposition political parties and animal advocacy groups have expressed concerns over a shipment of 45,000 ewe lambs and 3000 cattle that left the Timaru port bound for Mexico on Thursday.

The outcry followed accusations of bribery after it was revealed the government gave $11.5 million worth of farm equipment and sheep to a Saudi businessman for his sheep breeding operation.

Hamood Al Ali Al Khalaf was the owner of 5000 sheep that died during a live export to Saudi Arabia in 2003, an incident that led to a ban on live sheep exports for slaughter.

The government allegedly compensated Mr Al Khalaf because he was upset at losing

hundreds of millions of dollars in earnings when New Zealand banned live sheep exports.

The revelation sparked a political stoush that has only gained traction since the latest live sheep shipment left Timaru.

However Labour’s David Parker has conceded public outcry would not have reached fever pitch had it not followed revelations over the Saudi sheep deal.

He believed the deal had made the public suspicious about the issue of live sheep exports, therefore resulting in a stronger reaction against the shipment to Mexico.

“A lot of people think that’s very, very dodgy,” he said.

“Against that background people are all the more wanting to see transparency around things that might be controversial.”

Mr Parker said the latest live sheep export “appears to be legal”, but he believed it was still right for New Zealanders to be concerned about the country’s animal welfare reputation.

■ FIRE SAFETY

Calls for safer lighters backed

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An Ashburton fire officer is backing calls to fast-track new regulations on child-safe lighters.

The Fire Service has urged the government to implement the regulations after a Hamilton family lost nearly everything in a house fire in May. However Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Paul Goldsmith says the new legislation will not be in place for at

least another year.

Ashburton fire risk management officer Murray Cairns said in the past three years, two Ashburton houses had been completely destroyed by fires started by children playing with lighters.

“Children under the age of five can quite easily light those types of lighters,” he said.

The Fire Service actively runs education campaigns targeting the issue.

“It’s one of our big focus

points that we try to drum home to the kids all the time,” Mr Cairns said.

He was aware passing legislation could take some time, but believed it was important the new regulations be implemented as soon as possible.

“The quicker that these changes take effect, the safer people are going to be,” he said.

A spokesman for Mr Goldsmith said a balance must be struck between making it hard for children to use lighters

while still making them useable for adults.

“The proposals being worked on are looking to extend the requirements for lighters to utility lighters such as barbecue lighters, which are not presently covered, and also ban the sale and supply of novelty lighters that are particularly child appealing,” the spokesman said.

The spokesman said Mr Goldsmith had been advised that the International Standards Organisation (ISO) is working to

review the current international standard for the construction of lighters and a new equivalent standard for utility lighters.

“ISO has advised that the outcome of that review is due to be completed by the end of the year and that the new standards will be available around mid 2016,” he said.

“Given the new standards are in the pipeline, it is appropriate to wait until they are available before implementing any new legislation in New Zealand.”

■ EXPERIENCE MID CANTERBURY

Move creates a one-stop tourism information stop

BY SUE NEWMAN Ashburton has a new one-stop tourism information spot as the town’s i-Site and the district’s marketing body join forces on East Street.

Yesterday staff from Experience Mid Canterbury were on the move, shifting their working lives from the Ashburton Event Centre to street-side offices in the Ashburton i-Site. And no one could be happier about that move than chief executive Nigel Birt.

“It makes good sense to be here. It’s better for staff communication and we’re able to be better in touch with our operators, “ he said.

The new base also meant the organisation’s staff were in closer touch with the grass roots of the business, the tourists, Mr Birt said.

The move had been under consideration for some time and for some staff it will be their third home in about 10 years.

Experience Mid Canterbury was based in the Ashburton District Council villa on Havelock Street before moving to office space on Park Street. The event centre has been its base for the past two years, and Mr Birt hopes it is finally in a permanent home.

“This place is great and it will lift our profile. It has created efficiencies all round and it will mean we have better communication with all staff.”

The move also carves about $10,000 in rental costs out of the organisation’s budget.

At the same time as it is relocating in Ashburton, Experience Mid Canterbury has set up a satellite base in the Methven Heritage Centre. This will be manned two days each week as a way of building a closer relationship with tourism operators in the Methven area, Mr Birt said.

The relocation will not affect the day to day running of Ashburton’s i-Site.

On the move, Experience Mid Canterbury chief executive Nigel Birt and his team are relocating from the Ashburton Event Centre to Ashburton’s inner town i-Site.

■ CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION

No charges laid over incident No charges have been laid over an incident at a South Auckland shopping mall that left three paramedics in hospital on Thursday.

A cleaner found a man slumped over in a toilet cubical in Westfield Manukau at about 1.20pm and paramedics were thought to have come into contact with a chemical while treating him.

Police media advisor Shelley Nahr said police had been dealing with one man over the incident and no charges were being laid.

The matter was resolved from a police point of view and they wouldn’t make further comment.

The Fire Service yesterday confirmed no chemicals were found at the site.

Counties Manukau Fire Service assis-

tant area commander Craig Monrad said police removed drug paraphernalia including a syringe and prescription medications from the area where the man had become unwell.

The man said he’d been injecting morphine, said Mr Monrad.

No other substances or chemicals were located.

Auckland Council manager environmental health Mervyn Chetty said hazardous substances response officers had not received a request for assistance from the police or fire services.

Middlemore Hospital spokeswoman Lauren Young said the man was in a stable condition at Middlemore Hospital yesterday. He declined to speak to media.

In brief Holiday turns bad What was to be a four-week holiday in paradise has turned into a nightmare for Ashburton woman Carol Hill and her family.

Mrs Hill and husband Barrie were eight days into their holiday when Mrs Hill was struck by a motorbike on the streets of the island of Santorini. She suffered multiple injuries and was airlifted to hospital in Athens. Yesterday Mrs Hill’s brother Richard Carter said that while his sister has been badly injured in the accident her condition was improving. Her sons, Shane and Lance, have flown to Athens to be with their parents. Mr Carter said that while her condition was improving since the accident on Tuesday, she would be looking at a long period of recovery.

■ NANDO’S ASHBURTON

Nando’s to close its doors

By Kate Spence

Nando’s Ashburton is shutting just 16 months after it opened.

The spicy chicken restaurant will close by the end of the month leaving its owners and two staff out of work.

The closure was confirmed yesterday in the wake of reports other franchises had closed across the country.

Ashburton franchise owners Imran and Tracy Kahn said Nando’s New Zealand originally wanted the restaurant to close in May. The former owners of the Indian Minar restaurant pushed the company to allow them to trade until the end of the month

so that workers could find other work, they said yesterday.

The couple spent $72,000 on the business in June 2013. They sold their house and other investments to help finance it and opened in the new Holmslee Square, in February 2014.

Previous to opening, they learned the original New Zealand licence holder, Shivran Ltd, was in difficulty and went into receivership in November.

It was in liquidation by March 2014.

“If we had a chance then we probably would have pulled out and tried something else,” Mrs Kahn said.

The store had struggled to meet its trading targets after

just four months of operating, but the couple had hoped to trade into next February to try and break into the market, Mrs Kahn said.

Nando’s stores were more often in cities and tourist towns.

The local venture just needed more time to settle into Ashburton, she said.

However, Nando’s New Zealand “more or less told us that they didn’t want Nando’s in Ashburton, they didn’t think it was a viable place for their brand”.

Nationally, the Nando’s brand has taken a hit with the closure of six restaurants over the past year.

A Nando’s national repre-

sentative told the New Zealand Herald the company remained committed to the New Zealand market and that some of the North Island stores that closed would be reopened.

The company had acquired some stores that were originally run by independent franchisees, the Herald reported.

A Nando’s spokesperson could not be contacted to discuss the Ashburton closure yesterday.

Mrs Kahn was disappointed with the lack of support they had from the New Zealand operator and said the couple would look at new business venture ideas for their current lease.

Surprise addition to Aussie couple’s family

By John LewiS An Australian couple on holiday in New Zealand will be taking home a Kiwi souvenir unlike any other.

Heidi Knight, 30, and Tony Pullman, 42, of Branxton, New South Wales, came to New Zealand in April for an eight-day campervan holiday around the South Island.

But while visiting Milford Sound on April 29, Miss Knight went into labour, despite being only six months’ pregnant.

“In Milford Sound – of all places,” she said.

“My waters broke at six in the morning. I told Tony and

we pretty much sat there for a few minutes thinking ... what do we do.”

The couple managed to contact emergency services and a helicopter was sent to pick them up.

“While we were waiting, the Milford Sound emergency department came to sit with us, which were two old firemen.

“I think they were more nervous than we were.”

The helicopter took them to Southland Hospital, and about 15 minutes after landing, baby Riley was born.

“He was the size of my hand when he was born,” Mr Pullman said.

Because Riley was three months’ premature, the trio were transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Dunedin Hospital where the Kiwi battler is still receiving treatment.

“He’s been doing really well.

We haven’t had any dramas with him,” Miss Knight said.

“The team here in Dunedin are exceptional. This is a special place. We haven’t had to stress about anything.”

While Miss Knight praised the Dunedin community and the staff at NICU, she said she was starting to get the feeling staff were “rubbing in” the fact her son was legally a Kiwi.

“A lot of older ladies knit and donate things to the ward, and without fail, everyone else will get coloured things but we’ll get black and white.”

As if the couple’s holiday was not already eventful enough, they are now celebrating their engagement after Mr Pullman got down on one knee last week.

“Thank God, she said yes.”

The family hope to return to New Zealand when Riley is old enough to walk, and complete their South Island tour, Miss Knight said.

“We’ve got to go and see Milford Sound – we still haven’t seen it properly yet.” - NZME

The man accused of fatally shooting two Ashburton Winz workers appeared before Justice Cameron Mander in the High Court in Christchurch yesterday and has been remanded in custody until July 10. Russell John Tully, 48, is accused of murdering Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland on September 1 last year. He faces eight other charges, including two attempted murder charges, two firearms charges and one charge of setting a trap with the intent to injure. All details from yesterday’s hearing were suppressed.

Anti-scam advice Ashburton people have an opportunity to learn tips from an expert on keeping themselves and their cash safe from frauds and scams. On Friday the BNZ’s national security and fraud coordinator Bronwyn Groot will be speaking at a seminar at the Cameron Street Seniors Centre.

She will outline a range of scams including credit card, internet, phone, lottery and card skimming.

The event is free and will be held from 9 to 10am.

Police notebook Incidents reported yesterday: Police attended a domestic at 9am on Thursday.

Blood donor day World Blood Donor day is tomorrow and the New Zealand Blood Service is thanking everyone who has given blood to help save a life. On average blood and blood products are used by 135 Kiwis every single day and New Zealand has a total of 109,000 current donors. In Canterbury there are just over 16,000 donors – but the region loses an average of 3500 donors every year. People who wish to sign up to become a blood donor can call 0800GIVEBLOOD or visit the New Zealand Blood Service’s website.

Spill closes highway A highway in the upper South Island was closed following a fuel spill. Fuel was spilled from a tanker on the Coastal Highway, State Highway 60, near Trafalgar Road, police communications manager Barbara Dunn said. The spill wasn’t the result of a crash. The highway had been closed and diversions were in place via the Moutere Highway while the spill was dealt with, said Ms Dunn.

■ TINWALD’S LEAKY PIPES

In brief

Simple solution for leaks

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Something as simple as a PVC ‘sock’ could provide a quick and relatively inexpensive solution for Tinwald’s leaky waste water pipes.

The Ashburton District Council is trialling the noninvasive repair technique on main lines, around manholes and on leaky laterals using data gathered by CCTV cameras to identify weak spots in the ageing pipelines, council assets manger Andrew Guthrie said.

The project is anticipated to cost $60,000 and is an economical solution to extending pipe life, he said.

“It’s far less invasive than a big construction job to replace pipes. If we did replace them they’d last 80 to 100 years, but this treatment will extend their life for another 15 to 20 years.”

The sock project will run alongside the ongoing Right Pipe project launched last year.

This involves inspectors checking gulley traps on all properties in Ashburton to es-

tablish that they are constructed in a way that will not allow groundwater infiltration.

Some areas of Tinwald have historically been plagued by overflowing waste water pipes in times of heavy rain and high ground water levels.

The repair trials with the Right Pipe project will ensure the most suitable method to limit ground water infiltration is used, Mr Guthrie said.

“Once we confirm what method works we can then look at the rest of Tinwald and

schedule in a repair work programme to start next year.”

The objective of the twopronged approach was to identify where the more cost-effective solution could be used to gain up to 20 years’ life from the infrastructure and where the more costly pipe replacement programme might be needed, he said. “The aim is to extend the useful life of the pipes for another 10 to 15 years and delay the need to carry out a more costly replacement programme.”

Topless walkabout A seemingly “out of it” topless woman was spotted walking along State Highway 1 near Ohau Point north of Kaikoura yesterday afternoon. A member of the public called police about 2pm to report they had seen the partially nude woman, who appeared to be “on something”, police said. “We have had a report of a single female without a top,” police said. “She is walking down the road topless and seems out of it.” Kaikoura police responded and soon located her before she was taken to Kaikoura Hospital. A hospital spokesman said she was “okay and not in a critical condition”.

Blooming imminent Auckland Domain’s stinky flower could bloom this weekend, says a Winter Garden spokeswoman.

Lisah Henry said the flower, officially named Amorphophallus titanium but more commonly called the “corpse flower” because of its smell in bloom, had been on track to flower earlier, but cooler weather slowed it down. Ms Henry said a weekend bloom would be nice, because lots of people would get the chance to come and take a sniff. The flower last bloomed in December 2013 and 17,400 people came to smell it.

Cross overlooked A cross on the summit of Auckland’s Mt Roskill was removed this week. The cross was erected and illuminated on the summit of Puketapapa-Mt Roskill for short periods at Easter and Christmas prior to the Auckland Council amalgamation.

The cross was removed on Tuesday following a process between representatives of the Tupuna Maunga o Tamaki Makaurau Authority and church leaders alongside the Puketapapa Local Board.

■ ASHBURTON ART GALLERY

A sense of celebration at the gallery

By SuSaN SaNdyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

The new Ashburton Art Gallery is seeing an explosion in interest since opening last month.

Besides a touch of controversy over one of its opening weekend art works, it has been a case of onward and upward for the new facility.

Communications officer Nicole Bourke said an average day will see at least 60 visitors though the door, which was a “substantial” increase on numbers at the former facility in Baring Square East.

“We are attracting not only locals but also people passing through, or people travelling especially to come to the gallery.

“We can’t ask for anything better than that at the moment,” Ms Bourke said.

On the opening weekend of May 23 and 24, New Zealand tape artists Struan Ashby and Erica Duthie held workshops, and constructed a large temporary tape mural on the gallery’s exterior southern wall.

However, the temporary nature of the mural was not understood by all, and there had

been a misunderstanding with regard to whether the gallery had been creating artwork or signage, the latter of which would contravene the gallery’s strict resource consent criteria.

Like all tape artworks created by the Kiwi duo, it was, however, ripped down as planned, this happening on the Sunday of that weekend.

Ms Bourke said the controversy was now “water under the bridge”, and there was a sense of “celebration” at the gallery at the moment.

“People have been deprived of something, and now they

just can’t get enough.”

Visitors had been asking when the on-site downstairs café would open, but the Ashburton District Council had yet to find a tenant.

A new Art Addicts group on Wednesdays after school had attracted about 17 primary and high school age pupils each week, and the Jub Jub Club, held every second Sunday, had about 30 members.

The club had been in hibernation while the gallery was closed, but returned with almost double its previous numbers.

Another seal has shown up Auckland – this time in Campbells Bay on the North Shore.

New Zealand Herald mobile engagement editor Hannah Sarney yesterday tweeted a photo of the furry mammal, saying her dad had spotted the seal which “didn’t look very well”. The Department of Conservation responded to the incident, and sent a ranger to check on the seal. DoC spokesman Nick Hirst said they had been monitoring the seal for four days. It had been seen at a number of sites on Auckland’s North Shore over that time.

Trespass conviction An Auckland man who spent 81 hours up a kauri tree has been convicted of trespass. Michael Tavares will have a strike on his record, but has escaped punishment if he does not reoffend in the next 12 months. He was charged with wilful trespass for climbing a kauri tree on private property in March. He pleaded guilty to the charge in May and was ordered to enter a process of restorative justice with the owners of the property. This was assessed as not suitable due to the opposing viewpoints of Tavares and the landowner.

■ PARK STREET DAYCARE

Eunice clocks up 35 years as a daycare volunteer By sue NewmaN sue.n@theguardian.co.

Thirty-five years ago Eunice Jones was a stay-at-home mum looking for a way to help her community.

A local minister kept asking if she’d be one of his volunteers, she finally said yes and today, she’s still helping her community, still doing the voluntary job she picked up back then, driving clients to Park Street Daycare.

It’s a job she loves. Over the years she’s made friends among her clients and become an important person in their lives.

And this week, she and her fellow volunteer drivers played a big part in helping the daycare win top prize in the Health and Wellbeing section of this year’s Trustpower Community Awards.

Mrs Jones is quick to add that she is just one among many drivers and the many people who are part of the daycare network that provides a social outlet for people who are aged or who are less able. It is also available as a respite resource for carers.

Thursday is Mrs Jones’ day on the road, when she and her little yellow car do the pick up and delivery rounds, morning and afternoon.

When it came time to replace her car eight years ago, her driving job was uppermost

in her mind. “People said get a two-door car, but I said I need four doors and higher seats for daycare,” she said.

Over her years in the job, Mrs

Jones has seen plenty of changes in daycare as it’s moved from the old Tuarangi Home, to the St Joseph’s School Hall and now to its most recent home at St

Stephen’s Church. The venues have changed and so have the clients, but the pleasure gained from contact with them has not.

“I love doing this, I’ll keep on

as long as my health permits. I did a mature drivers’ refresher course last year and that’s great for confidence,” she said. “It’s a privilege.”

■ PHARMACY SERVICES

Pharmacies ‘under threat’

By Oli lewis Journalism student

Ashburton patients will end up bearing the consequences of the controversial Community Pharmacy Services Agreement (CPSA), says Searle’s Allenton Pharmacy owner Sean Reilly.

The agreement – which is an extension of one made in 2012 – has frustrated pharmacists, who feel medicine margins are unsustainable.

“Something has to give, we can’t just carry on like this,” said Mr Reilly.

Currently more than half of all medicine is sold at a loss of around 6 per cent, as pharmacies have to front wholesale prices and transport not covered by government subsidies.

And, according to Mr Reilly, service would be the first casualty. Hours, the ability to deliver medicine efficiently, staff, and the future of smaller pharmacies themselves, were under threat, he said.

Sean Reilly: Ashburton patients will end up bearing the consequences.

Owner of Methven Pharmacy Peter Kemp said the situation was “ridiculous.”

District Health Boards (DHBs) had been aware of the concerns of the Pharmacy Guild since 2012, he said, and the fact they extended the existing agreement until 2016,

instead of reaching a new arrangement, showed how little consultation had achieved.

He, and another pharmacy owner in the Ashburton District, John O’Brien, would both sign the agreement, which needed to be recognised by June 17, but were unhappy about it.

Mr Kemp said he would have to accept, or “shut up shop because we won’t be able to get funded medicines” – something the Pharmacy Guild considered a genuine risk.

“The current underpayment

by District Health Boards threatens the very viability of community pharmacies,” he said.

“No other business would be expected to suffer a loss on the products they provide to their service users.”

However, Canterbury District Health Board acting general manager for planning and funding Dr Greg Hamilton said the pharmaceutical margin is only a small component of DHB funding and the extension of the CPSA would allow time for concerned parties to discuss the changes that needed to be made.

New Zealand had some of the best access to medicine in the world, with crown entity

Pharmac charged with finding the lowest prices on pharmaceuticals by putting out tenders to be filled by competing drug companies.

Their success in delivering subsidised drugs was not in dispute, however low prices have come at a cost for pharmacies.

“Pharmac’s done a good job but they haven’t addressed flowon effects to wholesalers and pharmacies,” Mr Reilly said.

With some pharmaceuticals costing only a cent per tablet, the Pharmacy Guild no longer considered a percentage margin sufficient to cover the costs of procurement and stock holding – especially since pharmacies were not reimbursed for any medicine that expires.

Dr Hamilton said: “DHBs, the Ministry of Health, the Pharmacy Guild and Pharmac are currently working together to develop options for change to the pharmaceutical margin.”

■ MOUNT HUTT MEMORIAL HALL AND HERITAGE CENTRE

Builders busy investigating leaky roof An ongoing leaking roof is getting some serious attention, courtesy of workmen including Kyle Brandham, at the Mount Hutt Memorial Hall and Heritage Centre.

The centre’s board chairman Dan McLaughlin said he understood the flat portion of the roof was older than other roof areas, and it had been leaking for a couple of years. During one rain event last year water had damaged some tables inside the building.

The roofing iron was now being removed to see what repairs were required. The community building is owned by the Ashburton District Council.

Mr McLaughlin said it was unknown at this stage what the cost of the work would be, although he expected it would not be cheap, particularly as scaffold hire had been required.

■ CHRISTCHURCH OUTBREAK

■ PIE COMPETITION

Six cases of Legionnaires’ disease confirmed

Hunt on again to find New Zealand’s best pies

By CaiTlin PorTer

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

A cluster of Legionnaires’ disease cases has emerged in Christchurch.

The Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) yesterday confirmed that since the beginning of April, six adults – all linked to the industrial Hillsborough area – had been hospitalised as a result of the disease.

The four women and two men have now been discharged from hospital.

A briefing was held yesterday at Community and Public Health in Christchurch by the CDHB’s medical officer of health Ramon Pink.

He urged businesses in Christchurch’s industrial areas to get qualified service people in to sample and treat their cooling towers and evaporative

condensers. Mr Pink said the Legionella bacteria can live in water-based cooling systems and become dangerous when airborne.

On April 8 a contaminated cooling tower in Hillsborough was identified and treated.

Community and Public Health stipulate that it can also be contracted from handling potting mix or compost as well as from spa pools and decorative fountains.

Home air conditioners, heat pumps and vehicle air conditioners are not sources of bacteria.

Symptoms of Legionnaires disease include influenza-like symptoms, a fever, muscle aches and a headache.

Anyone concerned they may be displaying these symptoms are being advised to contact their general practice.

PIE FACTS

Sue.n@theguardian.Co.nz

Pies are a Kiwi icon, and like most icons there’s fierce competition to have, own or make the best of its kind.

Around New Zealand, bakers and pie makers are dreaming pies, trying to come up with something that’s innovative, tasty and unique, something they hope will catch the judges’ eye and capture their palates in this year’s New Zealand Supreme Pie competition.

Last year’s Bakels pie competition attracted the highest number of entries in its 19-year history – 5000 pies from 533 bakeries. This year 6000 pies from 550 bakeries are expected across 12 categories.

While $7500 worth of prizes are up for grabs, the real prize comes in the massive increase in business that follows either a category or the overall win.

Two Ashburton bakers have the competition in their sights.

Manny Sim is a competition veteran and while he’s yet to decide what he’ll send off for judging, he’s pretty sure there will be two or three varieties in the mix – mince and cheese, venison and one other.

Matthew Harvey who has a few past placings to his

credit, says he’ll be entering several categories, but he’s currently busy monitoring progress of his two apprentices as they craft entries for a new apprentice bakers’ pie award.

The pair have created a pulled pork pie and a steak, blue cheese and mushroom speciality.

Mr Harvey won’t be creating new varieties for this year’s competition, saying he’ll stick with making his selection from the large variety he has on sale very day.

He might make a concession for the gourmet fruit category however and says he has a few ideas up his sleeve.

Winners of the 2015 competition will be announced on July 21.

Last year’s winner was a lamb cutlet and kumara mash pie.

Twenty-five people have been arrested, three stolen cars found and 11 cars impounded as vehicle crimes are put under the microscope in South Auckland this week.

The localised Operation Focus netted the results on Thursday night – its first night – as Counties Manukau police targeted the growing number of car crimes in the district.

Continuing last night, Operation Focus will again see an increased police presence across the region – that runs from Howick to Franklin – as well as linking up with police from other districts.

Preliminary numbers release to the New Zealand Herald revealed 25 arrests were made, three stolen vehicles were recovered and 11 cars were impounded.

A police spokeswoman said the arrests were made up of dishonesty offenders who had outstanding arrest warrants for crimes including burglary and breach of bail.

Throughout the operation, police will be at motorway onramps and on main arterial routes carrying out mandatory checks on commonly stolen vehicles.

Inspector Bruce O’Brien of Counties Manukau Police says car crime continues to be a major issue for the district.

“In the last three months more than 900 vehicles were stolen in Counties Manukau.

“Our intelligence tells us that offenders involved with vehicle crime and burglaries are increasingly moving around the Auckland metro districts committing these offences.”

A large amount of bail checks will also be carried out on offenders with known links to vehicle crime and burglary.

Mr O’Brien said the public’s help was crucial to reducing vehicle crime.

“We all have a role to play in reducing car crime - if we all do our bit to watch out for suspicious activity, we can make a big difference.”

Methven students domina

By Oli Lewis

T

hey came second in the Rockquest South Canterbury regional final, but you get the sense that what matters most to the members of Fullhouse is praise from their tutor and musical hero Wayne Pannett.

At the end of our interview bassist Jacob Keeley issues a shout-out: “Thanks mum and thank you Wayne.”

“Not that he’s done much,” someone else jokes.

“Only about 1000 hours of practice in my room,” Wayne retorts,” before adding, “but it’s been worth it, eh?”

After working at Mount Hutt College for eight years, he considers 2015 to be his most successful yet. Two bands – reggae/rock act Fullhouse and folk-duo Dalmur both finished runner-up in their respective categories, earning themselves $400 worth of Rockshop vouchers and the chance to travel to Auckland for the national final this September.

For a school of only 500, the music department – headed by teacher Hugo Zanker – is definitely punching above its weight.

And Fullhouse – made up of Jacob Keeley (bass), Sam McDonald (guitar), Sithum Jayatilleke (lead guitar), Jessie Jacobs (vocals), Jack McDonald (keyboards) and Hamish Hood (drums) – know this, attributing their success to Hugo and Wayne.

The band, which was formed around four years ago and named after the packed nature of their practice space, have some original songs – which they performed at Rockquest – as well as an extensive repertoire of covers from bands like The White Stripes and Foster the People.

Most of Methven have probably seen them play at one time or another – at venues including the high school and Samuels Bar – but this was the first time, aside from when they “cleaned up” at a secretive battle of the bands at Ashburton College, that Fullhouse has played out of town.

But national glory will have to wait another year.

Getting Fullhouse to Auckland means members have to write another two originals and put together a music video by next Monday – and despite Hugo’s offer to direct, with suggestions including “a reggae video in the snow”, or playing “in the middle of a paddock, surrounded by sheep and riding tractors” the band don’t think they have time to get it done.

Not to give the impression they aren’t hard workers.

Mount Hutt College’s Dalmur and Fullhouse rocked it at the Smokefreerockquest. Now the two make it to the nationals. Guardian reporter Susan Sandys and journalism student Oli Lewis report

In the lead up to the regional finals they were practising three times a week, putting in the hours and coming in on weekends to make sure they sounded tight, and it all paid off – in the form of $400, to be spent on new gear, or alternatively some jewellery for one of their sponsors.

“A new gold ring for Mr Zanger,” Hugo jokes.

He was the one who drove them to Timaru and, along with Wayne, has helped guide the band – one of whom, Jessie, has only been singing with the group since the start of the year.

Sam and the other members – although not short on talent – know their teachers are often the ones that provide the focus and drive to make songs come together.

Without them, their own efforts, outside of school and the practice room, have been far from perfect – “pathetic”, he says.

But with their assistance, Fullhouse are a band to be reckoned with.

“I’ve found the equation,” Wayne says, “unsupervised they get nothing done. I have to be around.”

And rockquest is far from the end, the band have a number of shows planned this year – including the School of Rock in June and Hutt Fest this October, before ramping up for another shot at the national competition.

And judging by their talent and the obvious love they share for music, next year could be their year.

Watch this space.

“

Footsteps in my mind ... I’m trying to describe...” – The lyrics from one of Dalmur’s songs under construction fill the Mount Hutt College music room.

The duo’s members – students Macey Dalglish, 15, and Chelsea Klever-Muir, 16, – are busy writing a number of new melodies, which will form a part of their entry for the New Zealand Smokefreerockquest in Auckland in September.

They won the right to apply

for the national finals after being placed in the top two of the solo/duo category at the regional South Canterbury Smokefreerockquest last weekend.

The competition is for original music and that is the perfect brief for Macey and Chelsea, who are in their element writing their own songs.

At the regional finals, they sang Look Back, about childhood memories, and Oopsie Daisy, an upbeat break-up song.

riginals heading to nationals comprised 10 acts, but also won the People’s Choice Award, and the Best Song Award, the latter for Oopsie Daisy.

“Exhilarating, that’s the only way I can describe how I felt on that stage,” Macey said.

While the two girls have been singing on their own, in choirs and competitions, for years, it was only last year that they formed the duo, and this year that they gave it its title.

Named from a combination of their two surnames, it is very apt, seeing as one of Dalmur’s main

strengths must be just how well its members’ voices harmonise.

“When I listen to something (one of our pre-recorded tracks), I think ‘Oh, is that me or is that Chelsea’?” Macey said.

Chelsea plays the guitar and is back-up vocalist, while Macey is lead vocalist.

Macey remembers loving singing from a young age, when she was in Year 2 at Methven Primary School. She joined the junior choir, and then once she got to Mount Hutt College began band and solo performances.

Chelsea went to Ashburton Borough School and wanted to enter the school’s singing competition of the Todd Cup in Year 3, but had to wait one more year before she was eligible. She also sang in her school choir and continued with performances at Mount Hutt College.

Chelsea was runner up in Year 6 and 7 and won it in Year 8.

With their high-achieving singing reputations behind them, the pair came together for the first time last year for the college’s M Factor competition.

They won with their performances of Sam Smith’s Stay With Me. They then performed in the school’s Hutt Fest and Breakout, gaining plenty of fans among the school community.

In taking their talent to the next level this year, they are excited about what their love of music may bring.

While both are planning careers outside of music – Macey is contemplating beauty therapy while Chelsea is thinking about early childhood education – they

also plan to stick with songwriting and singing, even if just as a hobby.

“If I can I will make a career out of it,” Macey said, and Chelsea agreed.

The pair did not think they would ever contemplate the television show X Factor as a road to possible success, as they did not believe the programme cultivated original talent.

Macey and Chelsea are grateful for the “fantastic mentoring” they get from the college’s music tutors.

■ MID CANTERBURY RIVERS

Water decline hurts fishing

By Oli lewis Journalism student

Fishing is a shadow of its former self in the Ashburton District; where once anglers were able to catch upward of 50 salmon a morning, anyone trying their luck at the Ashburton River mouth now would be lucky to get two.

Bruce McLaren, who has fished the district’s rivers for the past 44 years, said the reason for the decline in fish stocks was “the whole water table has

dropped to buggery”.

According to Mr McLaren, in its heyday the Ashburton River had a flow of 15 cumecs – which meant “you always got a wet backside when you fished there” – but now the water level is the lowest he has seen since 1974.

At just five cumecs, ECan minimum flows for June are nowhere near the highs of Mr McLaren’s past. The drought, combined with increased irrigation has lowered the water table, and with less water comes fewer

fish. However, district councillor Stuart Wilson said the river was more pristine than it had been in the past, and the reason there were fewer fish was because of seasonal variations in the number of salmon, combined with an increased number of anglers – far more than in the golden age of the ’60s and ’70s.

Mid Canterbury Anglers’ Club president Chris Godsell said at 40 odd members, the club was smaller than it had been,

and they were struggling to attract younger members.

He had not noticed a significant change in fish numbers, but said some of the older fishermen were full of tales about the former glory of local rivers. It was possible, some said, on a good day to catch over 200 salmon a morning from the Ashburton River, whereas now, Mr Godsell estimated, perhaps 20 had been caught all year.

Mr Wilson said the Ashburton Zone Committee provi-

sions to increase the minimum flow of the river to at least six cumecs, with a long-term goal of 10, would help improve fishing conditions. If Ngai Tahu consented to the introduction of water from the Rangitata Diversion Race, he guaranteed there would be a good salmon season in a couple of years.

But Mr McLaren was not so sure.

“They might never tidy it up like it was,” he said, “the bull has already bolted,” he said.

Coma teen breathing on his own without cannabis

By NewstalkZB A gravely-ill Nelson teenager at the centre of a cannabis debate appears to be making progress – he’s now breathing on his own.

Alex Renton, 19, has been in an induced coma in Wellington Hospital for two months, after suffering a seizure.

Earlier this week Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne approved a one-off use of cannabis oil because nothing else has worked for his family.

The teen’s mother Rose Renton said her son is stable and much stronger than last week.

Alex was now breathing on his own and much stronger than last week, she said.

The cannabis oil has yet to be administered, she said, and the family was still waiting the specially-approved dose.

The treatment should start today, and she said they would know more after he’s had a weekend of the medicine in his system.

Police release CCTV Parents receive teen taming tips pictures of alleged bank robber ■ IMMUNISATION Expert urges focus on elderly

Parents of Mid Canterbury’s tricky teens will be hoping they aren’t so tricky any more, after a free seminar dealing with the issue was held in Ashburton on Monday night. The seminar was hosted by YMCA Ashburton which teamed up with Karyn Chalk of Changing Ways. YMCA Ashburton manager Poppy Cooper-Vear said 16 people attended the event.

Police have released CCTV stills of a man who allegedly robbed a suburban Wellington bank at knifepoint yesterday afternoon.

Armed police launched a manhunt after the robbery at the ASB Bank in Kilbirnie about 4.30pm.

The armed offenders squad was called in to search for the man, who police said was dangerous.

Detective Sergeant Richard Gibson said the man, armed with a knife, walked into the bank and demanded money.

“He got away with a small amount of cash. No one was injured.”

Police said they urgently wanted to hear from anyone

who could identify the man in the CCTV images, or who may have information about the robbery.

The suspect was described as a Maori or Polynesian man aged 20-30, of average build, about 1.73m tall, with light facial hair.

Police said the man was wearing white or light coloured shoes, dark trousers and a dark coloured hooded top.

“This person should not be approached by members of the public but any sightings of a male matching that description can be reported to police via the 111 emergency phone number,” police said in a statement.

A leading Australian public health expert is in Rotorua to encourage GPs to consider placing a greater emphasis on vaccinating the elderly.

Professor Raina MacIntyre, who is the head of the School of Public Health and Community Medicine at the University of New South Wales, was a key speaker at the NZMA General Practitioners Conference currently taking place in Rotorua.

Dr MacIntyre’s address was around whether the focus of immunisation campaigns should move to adult immunisation.

She said doctors should con-

sider recommending the pneumococcal vaccine to elderly patients. The vaccine became funded for elderly in Australia 10 years ago, but is not funded here.

Pneumococcal disease can cause pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease including blood infection and meningitis (inflammation of the membranes covering the brain).

While vaccinations in older people could be less effective than in children, it was still worthwhile – especially with an aging population and people retiring later, she said.

“They still have the potential to prevent a lot of disease.”

Other vaccines that are valuable for older people include the influenza vaccine, which New Zealand is having success with, as well as vaccines for shingles and whooping cough.

Dr MacIntyre described vaccination as the “low hanging fruit” for healthy ageing.

She said in Australia they had seen deaths of elderly from whooping cough.

The Ministry of Health only funds the flu and tetanus and diptheria for elderly in the schedule.

■ CELEBRITY CHALLENGE

Facing off in cooking contest

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Four well known Mid Cantabrians will face off in the ultimate cooking competition – Shoe String Chefs.

The idea is the brainchild of Marie McAnulty, co-ordinator of the Sharing Everyday Experiences and Drawing on Skills (SEEDS) programme at Safer Ashburton.

She first trialled the cook-off in Masterton, where she worked prior to moving to Mid Canterbury last year.

While members of local government were the only participants in that version of the competition, Ms McAnulty said this time she has put a different spin on it.

Ashburton district mayor Angus McKay, Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew, radio personality Phill Hooper and Presbyterian Support manager Jackie Girvan will go head-to-head, each vying for the top spot.

The contestants will be provided with a mystery box of ingredients

and will each have to whip up a main and a dessert from the array of goodies.

Mrs Girvan said she is nervous, but would be happy if mince or sausages appeared in her mystery box – or even some fruit for a crumble.

On the other hand mayor Angus McKay, known for his famous sponge recipe, thinks he has a good chance at taking out the title of top Shoe String Chef.

Sadly Mr McKay can’t give out the recipe because it is top secret but said he hopes the ingredients for the sponge are provided.

“We will have to see what happens but I am looking forward to stretching the imagination,” he said.

The competition will take place at the Tinwald School Hall on Thursday July 9 between 10am and noon.

Members of the public are encouraged to attend, and an item to be donated to the St Vincent de Paul food bank will be collected upon entry.

Champion speechmakers (from left) Kelly Stitely, Jacobi Kohu-Morris and Fergielyn Catayoc.

Winning ways with words Ashburton College Year 13 student Fergielyn Catayoc has had a stellar turn at the Lions Clubs’ International District 2015 Young Speechmaker Competition.

Ten students competed at this year’s event, which was held at the Fenwick School Hall in Oamaru on June 7.

Each competitor spoke for five minutes on

a topic of their choice and was then given one minute to deliver an impromptu speech on the subject “What I like about my life”.

Miss Catayoc was second runner-up in the competition. Logan Park High School’s Jacobi Kohu-Morris won the competition, with Kelly Stitely from Otago Girls’ High School first runner up.

Tetiana moved here for love Multicultural Mid Canterbury

With Mid Canterbury becoming increasingly multicultural, reporter Daisy Hudson is tracking down newcomers to talk about their life, culture, and why they chose our district.

U

kraine and New Zealand may seem worlds apart, but the Ukrainian expat says they aren’t as different as some might think.

Tetiana Lebiedieva moved to New Zealand from the Ukraine in September 2011 to be with her husband, Artem.

The couple met online in 2010 and soon realised they were from the same city in the Ukraine.

Their relationship blossomed and they were married in June 2011.

Tetiana has since made Mid Canterbury her home and the couple are now raising their son Brian in Ashburton.

The big move did lead to some culture shock when she first arrived in New Zealand.

“Sometimes it seemed a bit scary because the language is so different from my native language, which is Russian,” she said.

“In the beginning I was a bit scared to talk because I was afraid that somebody just wouldn’t understand.”

There were also other aspects of Kiwi life that came as a surprise – for instance, the fact that most people have their own vehicles, whereas in Ukraine the majority of people use public transport.

However, she soon overcame her initial surprise and she now believes the two countries are not so different after all.

“Like New Zealand, Ukraine is quite progressive,” she said.

While family values were still quite traditional, Tetiana said women’s rights in the Eastern European nation are similar to those in New Zealand.

“Women are not underestimated in Ukraine,” she said.

“However there are ‘man jobs’ and ‘woman jobs’ – normally men don’t work as a receptionist and women normally don’t work as a builder.”

She said women usually did everything around the house while men were the main breadwinners.

Despite that traditional attitude, Tetiana believed women often had more control over financial decisions.

Educational opportunities

were also plentiful for women in Ukraine, she said.

“I would say that 70 or 80 per cent of Ukrainian people who are 21 or 22 years old have a degree,” she said.

“Normally when you finish school, at the age of 16 or 17, you enter university.”

However, some traditional attitudes about marriage and family life still lingered in the country.

the Ukraine to Ashburton to

be with husband Artem.

Tetiana said there was still pressure for women to get married young and have a family.

“All my friends who were studying in university with me were already married and I kept thinking ‘should I get married too’?”

It was rare for women to choose not to marry and have children, she said.

She said women in the

Ukraine usually stayed at home until their child was at least three years old, whereas in New Zealand she knew of women who returned to work much sooner.

Tetiana is planning to return to the Ukraine for a visit next year, but she is concerned about the impact of the conflict that has divided her homeland.

“The area where the war is located is about 500 to 600km

from where my family live,” she said.

“But of course I am worried, because it’s a bit unstable and that area can spread if Russia continues invading.”

For now Tetiana is content to raise her family in Ashburton, even if she struggles with the traditional Kiwi trips to the beach.

“The water is so cold,” she said with a laugh.

Blues bow out with heaviest defeat

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY A miserable season for the Blues limped to a predictable conclusion last night with a 44-7 defeat to the Highlanders at Eden Park.

With just three wins from 16 matches, it is the end of the worst season in the franchise’s history.

Just as in their past two defeats here against the Hurricanes and Crusaders over the last fortnight, this was a bonus point loss in front of a small crowd with few surprises about the final result. The heaviest defeat of the season, it was a sad way for Keven Mealamu to bow out.

The match also signalled the end of Super Rugby for prop Tony Woodcock, who was unavailable due to a shoulder injury, plus several others, including, for the time being, fullback Charles Piutau, named for the match after his knee injury but a late scratching due to another mishap.

Apart from the first-half injury to loose forward John Hardie and second-half departure of

Keven Mealamu bowed out in a sad way.

wing Waisake Naholo with what looked like a knee problem, it all went to plan for the Highlanders, who leapfrogged the Chiefs into fourth on the table and have a good chance of retaining that spot and a home qualifier next weekend.

The Chiefs will remain in fifth at best unless they score five competition points and beat the Hurricanes by at least 36 points in New Plymouth tonight.

The Blues conceded three tries in the first half to John Hardie, Shaun Treeby and Elliot Dixon, with Treeby’s coming while

teammate Josh Hohneck was in the sinbin for a shoulder charge, a foolish act from a player knocked out against the Crusaders not that long ago.

The numerical disadvantage made little difference to the Highlanders, though, who watched Ihaia West miss the penalty and went up the other end to score through midfielder Treeby, playing in his 50th match.

Quiet throughout, the Blues’ supporters didn’t make it to their feet until five minutes after halftime when Mealamu, playing

in his 175th and final Super Rugby match, left the field. Players from both teams also applauded him.

The Highlanders were better in almost all facets – lineout, ball control and defence. They made fewer errors and ran the ball with better intent.

In other words, they looked like a team with a promising future in the playoffs rather than one 14th on the table with few ideas other than to tackle and doggedly run the ball back at the opposition.

Once Patrick Osborne scored the Highlanders’ fourth try after 50 minutes as the rain began to sweep in from the west, the floodgates threaten to open.

Dan Pryor and Joe Latta scored for the visitors, with Matt McGahan getting one back for the Blues.

Ben Smith had the final say for the Highlanders after a leaping assist from Osborne. A promising reply from the Blues ended in another mistake, and, mercifully, Angus Gardner blew the final whistle.

Bowlers book seats on NI tour Newbies The Ashburton district will have strong representation in this year’s South Island indoor bowls side for the tour of the North Island in August.

Three Ashburton bowlers were named in the starting side that was announced yesterday – the penultimate day of the national championships in Timaru.

Grant Wilson and Michael Lawson return to the side after being there last year while Matt Markham will make his debut for the side.

Lawson has been a mainstay of the side for a number of years and will this year handle the captaincy from his position as three in the men’s fours side.

Wilson, who last year played the singles, is back in the same place and will square off with North Island captain, Gran Harvey, when the two islands meet in the annual test match at the end of the tour.

Markham, who has made two semi-finals at this week’s national championships, joins the side as the only debutant and will play in the lead position in the triples alongside James Sullivan and Robert Wilson.

Matt Bassett, also from Ashburton, has been named as one of the reserves.

The South Island side will embark on a week-long tour of the upper North Island early in April playing at a number of regions before they head to Roskill and Districts to take on the North Island side in a three game test match.

The national championships wrap up today with the post section of the fours and Ashburton still has some strong representation.

Michael Lawson and Alex Crawford have qualified alongside their team mates Stephen Preddy and Ashley Diamond.

The Mackenzie family of Ken, Rowena, Laura and Tayler also did enough to make it to post-section play through no one in their qualifying section having more than two wins.

Others to qualify from Ashburton include Grant and Fiona Wilson, Graeme Chapman and Murray Bassett and Geoff and Bernice Laird, Gaylene Smith and Maurice Sunbeam.

Darryn Turner, who is part of a Southland team, also qualified.

Former footy player breaks arm on live TV The extent of the break to former NRL prop Ben Ross’s arm, which he snapped during an arm wrestle on live TV, should be known today.

The retired front-rower tweeted, “Thanks for everyone’s messages of concern and also wishes. Will know full extent of the break etc soon,” on Friday.

Ross’s right arm snapped back during an arm wrestling contest with another former player Wendell Sailor during a competition on the Nine Network’s Footy Show on Thursday night.

Ross also sent a message of support to Sailor after the accident.

“Just like to send some love/

well wishes out to @benross23 & his family after the accident on the @NRLFootyShow - sorry Big Ben feel so bad,” Sailor tweeted early Friday.

Ross replied: “Wasn’t anyone’s fault mate. @NRLFootyShow were amazing with their help and care last night.”

One of the Footy Show’s panelists Darryl Brohman said

Ross had broken his humerus bone near his right bicep but was in good spirits.

“It was horrendous,” he told the Nine Network.

“Everybody was sickened by it, everybody who was there and I imagine everybody who watched on television would be in the same boat.”

Currie on fire Braden Currie is on a heck of a hot streak.

This weekend he lines up another checkered flag in the Xterra East Championship race in Richmond, Virginia, after winning his last four starts.

The two-time Coast to Coast champion began his American campaign the way he means to continue - winning the Xterra Southeast Championship, which doubled as the 2015 USA Off-Road Triathlon National Championship last month.

That win followed on from collecting the New Zealand Xterra Championship and the Australia-hosted Asia-Pacific Xterra Championship race.

With almost a month’s worth of training under his belt, Currie will be a favorite to get a fourth straight Xterra win.

With his recent performances Currie has established himself as a serious title contender ahead of the World Xterra Championships in October.

Canterbury head coach Scott Robertson has announced his initial wider training group for this year’s ITM Cup campaign.

The 28-man squad will begin training in mid-July with the purpose of preparing players for possible inclusion in the ITM Cup squad.

Eight players in the wider training group are currently on provincial union contracts, 12 are current members of the Crusaders Academy and two are graduates. The squad does not include players currently involved in Super Rugby or in the Under 20 Rugby World Cup.

The Combined Country Cup finds a new home today with either Methven or Waihora set for a maiden cup victory.

Both teams have made it to the final before but fallen short.

Only three teams have ever won the combined competition since it expanded to include North Canterbury in 2007.

Lincoln (2007, 2011, 2014), Glenmark (2008-2009-2010) and Southbridge (2012-2013).

Methven supporters will see red in today’s Combined Country Cup rugby final in Methven.

The hosts will don the alternate red jersey when Waihora - who also wear a black and white jersey - come down to contest the competition showpiece.

When Waihora came down in the round robin clash, Methven, as host, wore their home black and white hoops.

But for the final, Waihora are the top seed and they get to wear their club strip.

“It’s just a jersey – it’s what they do in it that matters most,” Methven coach Dale Palmer said.

“Obviously it would be nice to wear the familiar black and white but the emblem on the chest is still the same and it doesn’t change what we want to do.”

Methven will wear their alternative red uniforms - calling on their home fans to “paint the town red” in support.

They last donned the red jumpers for last year’s semi-final also against Waihora in Tai

Tapu - which Waihora won 13-5.

On the day, Palmer had said his side had made too many mistakes and didn’t look after the ball.

That experience and that from the previous combined final losses will hopefully serve them in their quest to come out on top.

The winner between Waihora and Methven can lay claim to not only the trophy but a special honour.

The combined North Canterbury-Ellesmere-Mid Canterbury senior rugby competition is the biggest rugby competition in the country.

With 20 teams, is the biggest in the country with Auckland the second biggest with 16 teams in its top grade.

Geographically it is also one of the biggest - with Southern facing one of the biggest bus trips for a club game in New Zealand Southern travel north to Omihi – a 166km journey from their base in Hinds.

If they were to travel to the northern most venue – Glenmark’s other home ground in Cheviot - it would be a 210km bus ride.

Close battle expected

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Chris Lock had a front row seat to Methven’s two Combined Country Cup final losses.

Both times he was behind a forward pack being steamrolled.

In 2010 the halfback could do little as Glenmark’s forwards rolled their way upfield time after time and could do even less in the obliteration that followed in Lincoln.

“We got well and truly pumped at Lincoln,” Lock said.

“We weren’t far away against Glenmark, we had a real chance.

Then we just got a hiding from Lincoln.”

Glenmark and Lincoln both had experienced forward packs that delivered a game plan - winning the upfront - to lift the cup.

This time around Methven boast a pack capable of delivering a dominant performance and Lock

will hopefully have a better view of the game going forward - than reeling backwards.

Waihora will come down as the favourites having already taken Methven down on their home turf and Lock expects another close battle.

“It’s the same old story about whoever performs on the day.

“We just have to make less mistakes and be sharper on defence.

“Last time they scored a couple of tries where we just fell asleep.

Both off lineouts and needing about 40m to score.”

Lock became a club centurion in the round two win over Rolleston and coach Dale Palmer said he believed he was playing some of his best rugby this best season.

Something Lock puts down to the work of the eight players in front of him.

“It’s probably just been an easier job thanks to the forward pack

and it makes it an easier job for Davey (Maw).”

Lock has had offfield distractions and reasons to celebrate already this season - becoming a father for the first time with partner Nicole giving birth to their daughter Lucy last month.

“It’s been good and the perspective on things changes a bit.”

It hasn’t affected his form - and he’s hoping his pack can step up and deliver.

The backline concerns have been slightly alleviated with the return of second-five Andy Hamilton - who missed the last two weeks after getting a nail through the foot.

Richard Catherwood – who has played in both combined finals for Methven - stepped into the breach last week against BDI and really stepped up - scoring two tries - but has been ruled out of the final.

In brief Tahs to improve NSW Waratahs skipper Dave Dennis expects Queensland to play attacking rugby at Allianz Stadium tonight night and has warned his side they must improve defensively against the Reds. The Waratahs scored nine tries in their win over the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein last week, but they are more concerned about the five they conceded against the hapless South African side. “I think you saw what we can do with ball in hand, but we obviously talked about leaking tries,” said Dennis.

“We have to keep trying to improve our defence but keep playing with ball in hand.”

The coveted top spot in the Australian conference is up for grabs this weekend, with the Waratahs both on 47 points with the Brumbies, who face the Crusaders.

Moore as captain?

Former Wallabies captain Stirling Mortlock has backed Stephen Moore to lead Australia at this year’s Rugby Championship and World Cup. Mortlock believes the stalwart hooker has a lot of unfinished business, after injury curtailed his chance to lead the team last year. Moore was captain for barely five minutes when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first Test against France in July. He was replaced by Michael Hooper, the youngest Wallabies captain at just 22, who retained the role under new coach Michael Cheika for the spring tour of Europe.

But retired star Mortlock said he would love to see Moore reinstated. “First and foremost, he’s a great guy and legend of a bloke.”

Gill digs in Methven halfback Chris Lock will have the best view in the house.

etwood primed for big occasion

Methven’s Simon Fleetwood has the “privilege” to lead his side into the Combined Country Cup final today.

Fleetwood is a veteran of the competition but it will be his first final.

Methven took care of Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell 29-20 last week for Fleetwood to get his chance to play in the big one - and it was almost set to be against his old side.

He had played over 100 games for Oxford but the North Canterbury side fell short of the final on several occasions - and did so again last weekend.

Oxford drew 8-8 with Waihora

after fulltime and scored the go ahead try in extra time only for Waihora to counter with one of their own for a 13-all draw.

The eventual tiebreaker was Waihora emerging on top courtesy of a better points differential.

They may have snuck into the final but Fleetwood knows they will take some beating.

“We anticipate them playing for territory so we have to come up with ways to counter that and play for territory ourselves,” Fleetwood said.

“Territory will be huge for us so commanding that sort of play and trying to get the dominance up front to utilise good front foot ball.

“Controlling possession will be a big factor so we have to do the work upfront.”

It is simple - if you’re not in the right place you can’t score points and you can’t afford to fall behind in a final.

Methven teams have learnt the hard way not to fall behind in finals. Last year’s Watters Cup was the most recent example: trailing Rakaia 9-26 early in the second half before going down 27-29.

“We need to play it smart but if anyone sees an opportunity they need to back themselves.

“We have some guys in their third final and there is plenty of experience in the side and they will know how fast 80 minutes can disappear in a final.”

With his short-term future settled, Liam Gill has shifted his attention to bedding down a long-term future in green and gold. The Queensland Reds hardman ended months of speculation by penning a one-year contract extension to give the Super Rugby battlers a rare flash of good news at the end of a terrible season.

The length of the deal was Gill’s call, as he now looks to dethrone Wallabies flankers Michael Hooper and David Pocock and re-establish himself as a bonafide Test option. “It keeps the pressure on all fronts,” Gill said yesterday before the Reds departed for Sydney, ahead of their clash with the NSW Waratahs. “I have to come out and play good football again for another season to then see what I do beyond this. “I’ve now proven that I do want to stay at the Reds and I love the Reds. Now I’d like to cement myself in the ARU’s point of view and try and move forward in Australian rugby.”

Gill had been strongly linked to the Melbourne Rebels, while there were also rumours that he would only stay with Queensland provided off-contract coach Richard Graham did not.

Ferns earn vital point against Canada

BY STEVEN HOLLOWAY The Football Ferns have kept their Fifa Women’s World Cup dream alive after earning a valuable point in a 0-0 draw against tournament hosts Canada in Edmonton yesterday.

In an open and entertaining game, which was suspended for 30 minutes due to a lightning storm, the Ferns impressed against the world’s 8th ranked side but were left ruing a missed first half penalty from striker Amber Hearn.

The Ferns must now win their final group match against China to have any chance of progressing to the knockout stages of

M3

the tournament - a task the Ferns should feel confident of.

Despite conceding dominance in the possession stats, the Ferns looked likely yesterday.

In their opening match against the Netherlands, New Zealand looked a little blunt in the attacking third but it was different against Canada.

They expertly broke play up in the midfield, looked dangerous on the break and showed a hunger and desire to get on the end of things.

And when Hannah Wilkinson earned the Ferns a penalty after getting bundled over in the box midway through the half, New Zealand should have had a de-

served 1-0 lead.

But Amber Hearn sent the spot kick crashing against the bar and then watched on in disgust as the floating ball was cleared away to safety.

Ferns goalkeeper Erin Nayler kept New Zealand in the game on three occasions with an array of fantastic saves. Her best came early in the second half when she tipped a volley from Canada superstar Christine Sinclair onto the bar.

Sinclair, who has scored 154 international goals in 191 games, was Canada’s biggest threat, but Ferns centre backs Abby Erceg and Rebekah Stott did a great job of closing her

down and limiting her to just a few chances.

Betsy Hassett had a great game in the middle of the park, leading the charge with the Ferns’ pressing game and turning the ball over in dangerous positions.

Canada coach John Herdman suggested Wilkinson was New Zealand’s only threat in the prematch press conference but the powerful striker was hardly a factor. Instead it was the collective midfield pressing game and link up play between Hassett, Annalie Longo and Hearn that looked the most dangerous.

It was only the second time the Ferns have earned a point at

a Women’s World Cup but the signs are promising. Now they desperately need their first win.

“It was a great game to watch,” said New Zealand coach Tony Readings.

“But we are disappointed we didn’t win the game, we missed a penalty - which was probably lesser of a penalty than the one we didn’t get against Holland but we didn’t take it. “But now our destiny is in our own hands.

If we win our next game we should go through and if we play like that, I’m sure we will.”

Herdman said he thought Canada were the better team.

“Statistically and in possession, we dominated.” - NZME

In brief

■ BASKETBALL

Warriors rebound, rout Cavs Golden State held LeBron James scoreless in the fourth quarter and pulled away for a 103-82 win at Cleveland on yesterday to tie the NBA Finals at 2-2.

Andre Iguodala scored 22 points in a surprise start, league MVP Stephen Curry also had 22, and Draymond Green returned to form with 17 points, seven rebounds and six assists as the Warriors avoided going down to a perilous 3-1 series deficit.

“We came in with the mentality that we had to win this game,” said Curry.

James scored 20 points — 21 under his average in the series — with 12 rebounds and eight assists, and to make matters worse for Cleveland’s megastar, he needed stitches to his head after falling onto a TV camera in the first half.

Game 5 is Sunday at Oakland’s rambunctious Oracle Arena, where the teams split two overtime games last week.

This wasn’t quite make-orbreak for the Warriors, but it was close, as none of the 32 teams which have fallen behind 3-1 in the finals has won a title.

“We played desperate out there, man,” Klay Thompson said. “We played real hungry.

It was just awesome to come out here and impose our will on both sides of the ball and play our brand of basketball. That’s what’s been winning us games all year.”

Timofey Mozgov led Cleveland with 28 points and guard Matthew Dellavedova, again battling leg cramps after a hospital stay for dehydration, had 10.

The Cavs shot just two of 18 from the field and were outscored 27-12 in the fourth quarter. They also got nothing from their bench as J.R. Smith missed all eight 3-point attempts and Cleveland’s reserves combined

Games for Olympics Tokyo Olympic organisers have released a list of 26 international federations that have applied for their sports to be included in the 2020 Games. Baseball and softball have applied and are considered favorites, because of their popularity in Japan. Other federations that hope to have their sports added to the program include karate, squash and sumo.

The Tokyo organising committee said it would announce a shortlist on June 22. Finalists will make a presentation in Tokyo in August, and the organising committee is to make its recommendation to the International Olympic Committee by September 30. - AP

to score seven points.

“Offensively we were terrible,” James said, noting the Cavs were 4 of 27 on 3-pointers. “Sometimes your offense just doesn’t show up.”

Missing All-Stars Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, the Cavs didn’t have enough firepower and their legs were heavy after playing three games in five days against the relentless Warriors.

“We’re in a three-game series for the NBA Finals,” coach David Blatt said. “Six months ago I would have bought that. We’ve got to go back to the drawing board, go back to work, play the best basketball we can and try to win this thing.”

Golden State showed a sense of urgency from the outset. Iguodala, who played so well com-

ing off the bench in the first three games, made his first start this season and made coach Steve Kerr’s decision look brilliant.

Known for his defense, Iguodala drained four 3-pointers, kept James in check and Curry, who finally found his range in the fourth quarter of Game 3, also dropped four 3s, including a deep dagger in the fourth over Shumpert to end any thought the Cavaliers had of a comeback.

Iguodala made things tough on James, who went 7 of 22 from the field and 5 of 10 from the free-throw line.

“Make him work as hard as possible,” Iguodala said of his plan on James. “Make him take tough shots. You look at his strengths, you look at his weak-

nesses, and you try to take him out of his comfort zone. Easier said than done, but we all have a lot of talent and when we go out there we want to make our stamp on the game.”

Since losing Game 3, the Warriors vowed to use the experience they gained when rallying from a 2-1 deficit against Memphis in the Western Conference semifinals.

“It’s just a street fight,” Green said. “Nobody’s doing anything dirty, but they’re battling and we’re battling and that’s why this series is so exciting.”

Looking for a spark, Kerr decided to go “small” with his starting lineup, putting Iguodala at forward, moving Green to centre and benching struggling big man Andrew Bogut. - AP

Joseph Parker’s fight against Yakup Saglam in Palmerston North tonight will be screened live to a potential audience of millions in the United States after his promoters Duco struck an exclusive deal with ESPN. “We are very, very excited about this,” Duco’s Dean Lonergan said.

“This will enable Joseph to get cut through in the United States and Latin America. All of his fights will be screened live there and news shows such as Sports Nation and Sports Center will be able to use them. This will take his profile to the next level.” Parker’s fights will be screened on ESPN3, a channel available to 99 million homes in the US, Lonergan said. Brian Kweder Sr, an ESPN director, said 23-year-old Parker was becoming an international name.

Umaga SOS The Blues have targeted former All Blacks captain Tana Umaga as the key to helping them out of their coaching crisis. Umaga, currently in Italy in his role as assistant coach of New Zealand at the World Rugby Under20s Championship, met with Blues officials at their Mt Albert headquarters before he travelled overseas. The meeting, which led to a job offer, was held on a players’ day off, but with the knowledge of head coach John Kirwan, whose future is still unclear despite his team playing their final match of the season last night. Umaga is seen as a peacemaker between Kirwan and the Blues board.

Tompkins faces off against replacement Tuivasa-Sheck Warriors star Sam Tomkins faces off against the man who’ll replace him next season, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, when the Sydney Roosters travel to Mt Smart Stadium tonight.

Tomkins was hailed as the saviour of the franchise when the club recruited the England hotshot on a record transfer fee in 2013.

However the 26-year-old will return home at the end of this season with his tail between his legs after struggling to consistently transfer his Super League form to the NRL. In his place next year will be the rising Tuivasa-Sheck, who has shot to stardom

in his first season as a first-choice fullback in Bondi, lighting up the competition with his deft footwork.

The New Zealand representative has arguably been the Roosters’ best this season, leading the team in running metres (216 per game), tackle breaks (51) and line breaks (10).

In contrast, Tomkins has endured a miserable second season in the NRL, making just three appearances for the year. The Wigan Warriors-bound custodian has missed eight of the club’s past nine games due to injury, including being a late withdrawal in last week’s heavy 36-4 defeat to South Sydney. - AP

Global growth boosted from stronger Europe T he allocation of capital across asset classes is a vital decision when investing. It’s our view that shares are still better value than fixed income in the current economic environment, and that many international shares represent reasonable value and quality.

Apart from a sluggish start to 2015 the United States sharemarket has delivered good returns to investors over recent years, having benefitted from several years of economic stimulation by way of low interest rates. Now many United States companies are reporting improving earnings and we consider that gains in consumer spending should restore above trend earnings growth in the United States later in 2015.

Meanwhile the rest of the world, particularly Europe and Japan, has received a big refla-

Two more major banks have announced mortgage rate cuts following the Reserve Bank’s decision on Thursday to lower the official cash rate.

Westpac will reduce its floating rate to 6.4 per cent and its Choices Everyday rate to 6.5 per cent from Monday for new customers and from June 29 for existing clients.

However, deposit rates had also moved, with all personal online savings accounts reducing by 25 basis points, a spokeswoman said.

Meanwhile, BNZ announced a cut to its floating rate of 40 basis points in response to yesterday’s OCR drop.

The interest rate on its floating home loan product, TotalMoney, will fall from 6.74 per cent to 6.34 per cent. It will also trim 25 basis points on three other mortgage products _ standard variable, Rapid Repay and Mortgage One.

BNZ retail and marketing director Craig Herbison said new customers would be eligible for the new rates from today and existing customers from June 28. There were no immediate plans to cut term deposit interest rates.

“The cut to our TotalMoney rate is deliberately greater than the decrease in the official cash rate. The Reserve Bank has indicated another rate cut is on the cards and we’re boldly anticipating that change with this competitive rate cut.

“A floating rate of 6.34 per cent will give customers coming off fixed term rates the chance to pause and consider if floating is now the best option for them,” he said.

Customers should consider what to do with the extra money not going to their mortgage, for instance whether to save it or use it to pay off other debt.

Air New Zealand has appointed two leading international wine judges and commentators to help select the one million bottles of wine its passengers drink a year.

Linda Murphy is based in Sonoma County near the Napa Valley in the United States and is one of the world’s most sought after wine judges, according to the airline.

The airline has restricted the wines served in the economy and premium economy class cabins to Villa Maria group labels but can select from all wine makers for its business class.

Murphy said she had enjoyed New Zealand wine for more than 15 years and the selection role for the airline was a great opportunity to help further promote this country’s wine in the United States.

She said most Americans drank red wine on planes and they would be pleasantly surprised at the quality of New Zealand reds from Hawkes Bay, Central Otago and Marlborough.

Wines on planes needed “oomph” because passengers’ palettes were often dulled in the

A doubleedged sword Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he many Mid Cantabrians who make their living selling products in foreign markets have their fingers crossed the Government’s money manager will improve their prospects overseas.

Equally, the many Mid Cantabrians who live on whatever income they can generate from their savings will now be even more worried that their ability to pay the bills will be further eroded.

Analysts say the Reserve Bank might cut the official cash rate again this year after the 0.25 percentage point cut, to 3.25 per cent, it made on the back of falling dairy prices and rocky terms of trade.

The New Zealand dollar dropped to the lowest it has been against the United States dollar since it peaked this time last year and analysts expected it to drop further.

We all know a tumbling dollar means we might pay more for flat screen televisions, cars and lounge suites, but some local consumers will want it to slide even more.

The returned income on dreadful international dairy prices will be offset by the US dollar strengthening against ours. It’ll be a small bonus, but dairy farmers will take whatever break they can.

The sustained low dollar will also be great news for meat and fibre farmers, and for arable farmers whose produce supports these farms or is exported and paid for in US dollars.

However, local retirees will be concerned by predictions the cash rate will be cut knowing that their savings will soon earn less than when they were lodged in the bank.

Years of low interest rates have reduced what they earn in interest in their life savings, and every little slide packs a punch on the household budget. Tight belts will be tightened, again.

The Reserve Bank will continue to use rates to nudge sustainable economic growth.

But there should be no surprise in Reserve Bank data that this week showed more older people are working rather than retiring on what they have in the bank.

In 1928 the US’ Admiral Byrd was having a bar of Horlick’s and decided to take some cows with him to Antarctica. Please note that the cow is superimposed on the Antarctica photo.

Antarctic cows T

he issue of non-native species in the Antarctic has been on the agenda at the Antarctic Treaty meeting in Sofia this past week.

Usually the sorts of critters in the sights of the treaty parties are things like the king crab, rats, seeds and microbes.

Occasionally larger mammals make an appearance – such as the reindeer in South Georgia.

Cows, however, are rarely mentioned in the same sentence as “Antarctica”.

I am aiming to change that, thanks to the help of the local archives here in Wisconsin (dairy capital of the US), a well-known Antarctic hero from the US, and this state’s enthusiasm for all things that go “moo”.

Fresh milk is something that modern-day expeditioners and Antarctic programme personnel can only dream of – it sits

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

alongside oranges and bananas at the top of the wish list for those who over-winter.

One of the long-standing jokes at the trans-Antarctic Expedition Hut at New Zealand’s Scott Base is the 1950sstyle glass milk bottle that still sits in the letterbox, just like back home.

Powdered milk was (and is) the order of the day – but for the US’ Admiral Byrd, an ample supply of Horlick’s was simply not enough. Instead of the product, in 1928 he carried the source.

Any farmer round these

parts will tell you that a cow is not just a cow.

Byrd was discerning, and chose three award-winning guernsey cows to take south because of the quality of their milk.

A fourth, christened Iceberg, was born en route to Antarctica.

As he was a bobby calf, Iceberg was not a useful addition to the expedition in terms of milk production. He was, however, very handy when it came to publicity.

Cue the column inches back home, detailing the most southerly birth of a cattle beast, the cows’ first steps on to the icy continent and the eating habits of the miniature dairy herd.

Not only were the adventures of the cows chronicled in the US press during the expedition, they were also hailed as heroes upon their return.

Iceberg was invited to official luncheons, displayed at farm shows and featured on pin badges.

At the annual meeting of the American Guernsey Cattle Club, he was served “hay cocktails – heaps of hay with cracked ice” atop his very own table, laid with white linen.

His female companions even featured in advertisements for surge milking apparatuses back home in the US, where they were touted as having travelled the farthest distance since the famous cow jumped over the moon.

Bovine beauties may not live in the expanse of the frozen south any longer, but their legacy remains, with frozen dairy desserts an Antarctic staple. There’s something to ponder next time you nip down to the shops for a tub of ice cream ...

In brief Strauss-Kahn acquitted Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique StraussKahn has been cleared of pimping charges in a French trial that hinged on sex parties that took place in the midst of the global financial crisis. yesterday’s verdict closes four years of legal drama.

Ten others were acquitted as well.

Strauss-Kahn had told the court the parties were much-needed “recreational sessions” and he did not know the women who took part were prostitutes. In often sordid testimony, the women described sometimes brutal gettogethers that, they said, were not fun for them at all. Allegations against Strauss-Kahn started when a New York hotel maid accused him of sexual assault in 2011. That case was settled out of court. - AP

Police officers inspect the site of a suicide bomb attack at a market in Maiduguri, Nigeria.

Boko Haram attack villages Boko Haram extremists have burned down six northeast Nigerian villages and killed 37 people near the insurgents’ Sambisa Forest stronghold, a survivor said yesterday.

Ahmed Ajimi, a fighter in the anti-Boko Haram Nigerian Vigilante Group, said many victims of the attacks were farmers who had recently returned home after soldiers earlier this year forced the extremists out of the area where they had declared an Islamic caliphate.

Now they are refugees again,

with many survivors suffering gunshot wounds and burns, Ajimi told The Associated Press in a telephone call from Biu town, 100 kilometres west of the destroyed villages.

Hit-and-run attacks and suicide bombings have continued.

Boko Haram last week denied Nigerian military reports that militant fighters are hemmed into the Sambisa Forest and claimed its fighters still hold towns hundreds of kilometres away. There was no way to verify the competing claims.

“It was really horrifying,”

Ajimi said, describing the insurgents shooting from the back of pickup trucks and hurling firebombs that quickly set ablaze the thatched roofs of scores of huts.

He said he spent the night in the bush and returned to help bury 37 corpses.

The Islamic uprising is estimated to have killed some 10,000 people just last year when it began attacking neighbouring countries. A multinational force this year drove Boko Haram fighters out of towns and villages they had

held for months.

A summit of Nigeria and its neighbours on Thursday in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, pledged to increase the force to 8500 troops by the end of July with Nigeria pledging $30 million for the installation and equipping of its headquarters in N’Djamena, Chad’s capital.

The leaders agreed to Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s suggestion that a Nigerian general would command the force with his deputy from Cameroon and the chief of staff from Chad.

■ GREECE

IMF pulls out of talks - shares fall sharply Stark warnings to Greece over its stalled bailout talks hit Greek shares hard yesterday, with the main Athens index down 4 per cent within an hour of ope The drop comes a day after the International Monetary Fund pulled its negotiators out of the talks in Brussels, saying there had been no progress and that major differences remained in key issues.

The move contrasted with optimism expressed by the Greek side that a deal is possible by the end of the month.

Greece’s 240 billion-euro ($270 billion) bailout expires June 30,

at which point the country will lose access to the rescue loans it desperately needs to repay debts and avoid a default that could force it out of the euro.

The news also weighed on European markets, with most indexes in the region down.

Germany’s DAX, for example, was 0.4 per cent lower. The euro has also fallen sharply, trading 0.7 per cent lower at $1.1169.

“The IMF unexpectedly blew a giant hole in the recent optimism,” said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets.

It looks increasingly like

next week’s meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Luxembourg could prove decisive in sealing Greece’s fate.

On Thursday, European Union President Donald Tusk warned Greece there was “no more time for gambling. The day is coming, I’m afraid, that someone says the game is over.”

The June 18 meeting, he said, “is really crucial and should be decisive.” Even though the IMF pulled out of the talks, discussions are set to continue over coming days.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said it’s important to continue with the talks.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way, but the will must come from everybody,” she said in a speech in Berlin.

Greece’s creditors — its fellow eurozone states and the IMF — want the country to commit to new economic reforms before they disburse the last 7.2 billion euros left in Greece’s bailout fund.

The final installment has been pending since last year and with no access to the international borrowing market, Greece has been struggling to pay both its international debts, and to continue paying salaries and pensions.

The German Parliament’s upper house is calling on the government to embrace full-fledged marriage for gay couples, an attempt to step up pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative party. The upper house represents Germany’s 16 state governments and has a left-wing majority — unlike the lower house. The resolution approved yesterday doesn’t force the government to take any action, as the state governments stopped short of sending a draft law to the lower house for a possible vote.

Same-sex couples in Germany have been able to enter civil unions that fall short of marriage since a centre-left government introduced them in 2001.

Ponta survives vote Romania’s prime minister, who faces accusations of corruption including money laundering and conflict of interest, has easily survived a vote of no-confidence.

Lawmakers voted 194-13 to dismiss Premier Victor Ponta in a secret ballot yesterday, falling short of the 278 needed. Lawmakers from the ruling Social Democracy Party which Ponta heads did not vote. On June 5, anti-corruption prosecutors said Ponta was suspected of being an accomplice to tax evasion from 2007 to 2008 while serving in Parliament, forgery, a conflict of interest and money laundering. Ponta refused to resign and on Tuesday Parliament voted to keep his immunity from prosecution. - AP

Project suspended Interpol suspended its 10-year, 20 million euro partnership with Fifa yesterday while soccer’s governing body is implicated in bribery allegations. The international police liaison group said it will “freeze the use of financial contributions from Fifa” which are used to fight match-fixing. Interpol secretary general Juergen Stock took the decision “in light of the current context surrounding Fifa.”

By distancing itself from Fifa, Interpol added to the toxic image of soccer’s governing body. The Vatican had hours earlier suspended a deal to accept charitable funds from CONMEBOL, the South American soccer confederation which is implicated in the ongoing US federal investigation of widespread corruption.

■ PAKISTAN

Officials shut down offices of Save the Children The Pakistani government shut down the offices of the international aid group Save the Children in the capital, Islamabad, without giving any reason, officials and the aid group said yesterday.

Pakistani officials placed a lock on the gate of the group’s offices Thursday night and asked employees to leave.

The officials also told Pakistani employees that the government wanted all foreign nationals working with the charity to leave the country within 15 days.

Two government officials said the action was taken on orders from the Ministry of Interior.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they

were not authorised to speak to the media.

The spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Qazi Khalilullah, refused to comment and referred all questions on the issue to the Ministry of Interior.

“I will not be commenting on a decision that has been taken by the government. Our decisions are always well considered,” he said during a weekly news briefing yesterday.

In a statement released to the media, Save the Children confirmed that its office in Islamabad had been closed by the government.

“Save the Children was not served any notice to this effect.

We strongly object to this action and are raising our serious

concerns at the highest levels,” it said, adding that the group has worked in Pakistan for over 35 years and that currently it had 1200 employees nationwide – none of them a foreign national.

Last year, the group’s programs in health, education and food security reached more than four million children and their families, it said.

Save the Children has previously been accused by Pakistani intelligence agencies of facilitating a Pakistani doctor’s vaccinations programme in the city of Abbottabad as cover for the CIA to obtain DNA samples at a compound where al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was later killed by US commandos. - AP

German prosecutors close Merkel cellphone spying probe German prosecutors yesterday closed their investigation into the alleged tapping of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone by the U.S. National Security Agency, saying they have been unable to find evidence that would stand up in court.

Prosecutors last June opened an investigation into the alleged monitoring of a cellphone Merkel used for party business, an issue that has weighed on relations between Germany and the US. However, chief prosecutor Harald Range signaled in December that the probe wasn’t going well, saying that he had found no actionable evidence. That has now led to the closing of the investigation.

German magazine Der Spiegel broke the story of the alleged monitoring in late 2013, citing documents provided by NSA leaker Edward Snowden.

Range’s office said yesterday it has been unable to get hold of an original document proving the alleged spying, and that a published transcript of an NSA document allows for various in-

terpretations.

“The documents published in the media so far that come from Edward Snowden also contain no evidence of surveillance of the cellphone used by the chancellor solid enough for a court,” it said in a statement.

Prosecutors said they see no prospect of success in continuing to investigate.

They noted that journalists involved in publishing Snowden’s documents are entitled to refuse testimony, and argued that public statements by Snowden give no indication that he has personal knowledge of the surveillance of Merkel’s phone.

“The vague comments by US officials about possible surveillance of the chancellor’s mobile telecommunication by a US intelligence service – ‘not any more’ – are not enough to describe what happened,” they added.

“The comments, which were viewed in public as a general admission of guilt, do not discharge us from (fulfilling) the burden of proof according to the requirements of criminal procedure.”

■ ISRAEL

Militants ‘fired rocket that hit inside Gaza’ - Israel Gaza militants fired a rocket at Israel on Thursday, the military said, adding the projectile fell short and exploded inside the coastal territory ruled by the Islamic militant group Hamas.

Sirens wailed in some ar-

eas warning of the attack late Thursday night and the military initially said it had hit the area of southern Israel where the sirens had gone off.

Later it said the rocket had landed prematurely, falling in-

side Gaza. There were no reports of injuries.

Rocket fire has mostly subsided since last summer’s war between Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers and Israel, but there have been sporadic attacks, which

increased in frequency over the past few weeks.

Israel holds Hamas responsible for all attacks from the coastal territory.

Recent attacks have been claimed by Gaza militants who

support the Islamic State group fighting in Iraq and Syria.

Those militants are in a rivalry with Hamas and they say their rockets are in retaliation for a Hamas crackdown on their members.

PUBLIC NOTICES Tracing Family History I am a Great Grandaughter of Agnes Barr Blair who married David Tod Senior.

Her parents were Mary Gardiner Lochhead and James Blair.

A wonderful photo found in my grandmother’s collection (Agnes Tod - married Leonard Lemon) is of John Lochhead Blair (my Great Grandmother’s brother) who married Minnie Sinclair Shearer, his mother Mary Gardiner Blair (nee Lochhead) and two sons and three daughters - John G Blair married Florence Rendell, Mary Agnes Blair married Vincent Rouse, James M Blair married Ivy Rendell, Ethel Florence Blair married Alexander Hepburn and Emma Minnie Blair married Arthur Loader.

We do not have a photography of Agnes Barr Blair and are hoping that a descendant of the above families who are still living in the area and interested in family history may have a photo we could copy.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) As old memories start flooding back in this will bring a reminder of what you might be missing out on.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) All your income focus is now on the future and with the handbrake off there are plenty of new opportunities to get excited about.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) It’s time to not only look to the future but to start walking the talk, deciding both your immediate and long term steps.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Continue to keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, especially with your income, work and career options clear to see.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) It’s the Moon’s return to your career sector that brings a valuable chance to get your bearings and tap into your professional instincts.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With things finally moving you’re starting to get a sense that getting what you wished means that the pace has picked up considerably.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) It is less about what you’re able to accomplish or achieve and more about setting the bar to where you want things to be moving forward.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) All your focus on financial and money matters is now focused on the road ahead, whereas all your income focus is still through the rear view mirror.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Where you’ve benefited from a chance to give the past and unsaid words a voice it’s time to lay old ghosts to rest and move on.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) You’re going to have to think on your feet, learning from the past as the pace starts to pick up dramatically.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) If you have to have a bias then lean towards being a team player, for it’s something that will only be a priority for the next few days.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) You should know by now what you need from home and family matters and what they need from you, with a call to start putting that to practice.
