A 23-year-old logging contractor suffered serious injuries at the Rakaia Gorge yesterday when a bulldozer rolled down a steep slope.

Emergency services rushed to the scene about 10.20am yesterday and the man was treated by intensive care paramedics from the Westpac rescue helicopter.

The helicopter could not land because of the steep terrain and the man was winched onboard and transferred to Christchurch Hospital.

He is in a serious condition.

Methven police constable Mike Seque said it appeared the 36 tonne bulldozer was anchoring a log loader working 200m down the terrace when it toppled over. The dozer rolled until coming to rest on a small knoll near the loader.

Mr Seque said it would have kept rolling another 200 metres to the bottom of the terrace if it had not struck the knoll.

The injured contractor was “incredibly lucky” to survive.

A spokesman for the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust said he was not inside the loader at the time and was trapped for a time.

The contractors had been milling trees on the terrace near Rakaia River Road, which drops away to a section of flat land, and then the riverbed.

Methven fire chief Selwyn Allred said first responders were working on a very steep part of the terrace. The injured man was treated on a stretcher, then winched onboard the helicopter; he was complaining of back injuries.

■ THINK FIRST CO-ORDINATOR

No funding means no job

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Funding has been cut for an anti-bullying project targeting Mid Canterbury youth, putting Think First’s co-ordinator out of a job.

John Hobbs took up the challenge of running Safer Ashburton’s Think First project three years ago, and he’s never looked back.

The goals of Think First, funded under the Ministry of Social Development’s Te Punanga Haumaru programme, had already been set when Mr Hobbs was employed.

More than 170 young people were involved in a scoping project used to define the Think First objectives aimed at reducing bullying and promoting positive social behaviour by ulitising various communication methods.

Funding for the Te Punanga Haumaru programme been cut leaving, providers across New Zealand high and dry.

“We were hoping we would get funding to keep going but it’s not to be,” he said.

“I’m gutted – it’s been such an incredible job, it’s frustrating knowing the need in the community and this project won’t be available to meet that need.”

Mr Hobbs said the community was only now beginning to see the positive impacts of the Think First project.

“You need to be working in a community to gauge the needs within that community,” he said.

Police want to know who this is Think First co-ordinator John Hobbs.

“Like any project that hopes for a social change, it takes a few years to see that change.”

The success of the recentlylaunched Weird and Wonderful Ways to Waste Time project has been one of many highlights of Mr Hobbs’ three years in the coordinators chair, along with the progress made with Pink Shirt Day appeals.

“It’s been amazing – it’s bitter-

Ashburton police are looking for the man pictured above wearing distinctive clothing in relation to a break-in at a business in the Ashburton CBD on Sunday.

Sergeant Richard Scott said the front door of the business was forced in and several items were taken during the incident at 9.55pm.

This is just one of about three CBD break-ins which have occurred over the past six days, he said.

“It’s a timely reminder for all property owners, whether residential or commercial, to ensure their homes and businesses are secure.”

sweet really, but I’m bowing out on a high note,” he said.

“We’ve also been recognised at the Trust Power Ashburton Community Awards for the second time recently.”

However it is the “inspiring and motivated” young people he has met which stands out most for Mr Hobbs.

“I’m really grateful for the incredible support we’ve received

with all our campaigns and projects.”

“When I started three years ago there was a timeline in place and I’ve managed to tick off all the projects and fit a few more into the gaps,” he said.

Mr Hobbs hopes funding can be secured to keep the Think First website and app running for another 12 months.

His position ends on July 15.

Sailor dead, search for man knocked overboard A sailor has died and a search is underway for another man knocked overboard a yacht north of New Zealand.

The Rescue Co-ordination Centre New Zealand was advised at 11.20am yesterday that a sailor in his 60s had fallen overboard from a 20-metre yacht, Platino, 550 kilometres north of the country.

The yacht had suffered serious

Three other people on board the yacht were in contact via satellite phone.

scene within 90 minutes of the incident.

A commercial fishing vessel was also on its way to the area.

“Sea conditions are extremely dangerous and the remaining crew on board the Platino have advised that it is too hazardous to be on deck. With limited ability to manoeuvre safely, the yacht is motoring to New Zealand, but

this could take at least two days.

“The fishing boat is expecting to be at the scene by around 7pm but it will not be possible to search in darkness,” Maritime New Zealand said.

A Rescue Co-ordination Centre NZ spokesman told the Herald the search had stopped for the night now that darkness had fallen and would resume again

at first light. It was believed the boat was on its way back to New Zealand from Fiji when it got into trouble.

A Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion plane was also used in the search.

Captain Tim Walshe said the Orion was diverted to locate the stricken yacht after it put out a distress call yesterday.

Elderly driver had to spend night in paddock A man aged about 80 has been rescued after a night in his car stranded in a Central Hawke’s Bay farm paddock.

Sergeant Ross Gilbert, of Waipukurau, said the man, from Hastings, was discovered in the car yesterday morning.

Emergency services were called to the farm off Bush Road, Wallingford, just before 8am and were told the vehicle had left the road and crashed through a fence into the paddock early on Sunday night.

The man had been unable to get the car out of the paddock and stayed with the vehicle overnight, Mr Gilbert said.

He was apparently uninjured but was taken by the St John Ambulance Service to the Medical Centre in Hastings “for a checkover”.

■ BARRHILL RAKAIA WATERWAY

Water race continues to divide

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

A stockwater race that has divided a community for 20 years is to be partially closed.

Ashburton District Councillors have wrestled with the Barrhill Rakaia stockwater race since the 1990s, eventually deciding to close the race several years ago then backing down after legal action by property owners.

Property owners at the top and bottom of the race want the stockwater, but farmers in the middle section do not.

Councillors last week approved an interim measure they hope will keep both parties happy.

They voted to end the race at a soak-hole just above Accommodation Road, close some 15km of the race from there to Mitcham Road, and create a new intake from the Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation Scheme at Mitcham Road to feed the bottom group of race users.

The work will cost about $18,000.

Council has consent to take

stockwater from the Rakaia River through BCI’s intake at Barrhill and at Acton, so it has the right to make use of the water.

“This proposal is considered an interim solution and the balance of the original proposed Rakaia Barrhill race closure will continue to be progress,” assets manager Andrew Guthrie said in a report.

Cr Peter Reveley said it had been 20 years since council had first consulted property owners over closure of the race and they had still not heard back from

some users in the most recent round of consultation.

“Have we had any indication what these people definitely want?”

He said council might be wasting $18,000 if none actually wanted the water now.

Farmers in the middle complain the race causes soil erosion where it cuts through their properties.

Cr Alan Totty said council should take the opportunity to close that section.

“We are in the middle of the

process to close the whole Barrhill Rakaia stockwater race and that process will continue, but it’s a fairly long process. We have been given an opportunity to close a middle section quickly for the benefit of farmers disadvantaged over the years of having the race. We should take this opportunity to provide relief to farmers in the middle section.”

Mayor Angus McKay agreed.

He said farmers had been more than patient and the interim closure measure was a cost-efficient way of dealing with the problem.

Cyber-bullying ‘rampant’ Increasingly we are seeing people say, do and write things they would never do to another person’s face.

Teenagers cyber-bullying their peers are taking a “noholds barred” approach, with some of their obtained comments so bad “they make your hair stand on end,” a Rotorua coroner says.

Dr Wallace Bain, who played a major role in bringing about the Harmful Digital Communications Act, says while the response to cyber-bullying has improved, the bullying itself is still a significant problem, particularly among youth.

“The devotion kids have to social media these days is as-

tounding. Increasingly we are seeing people say, do and write things they would never do to another person’s face.

“When I do school talks with Mike King I tell the students, ‘I can undress you’. I get some funny looks at first but then go on to say every text, Tweet, Facebook message – anything you send to anyone, I can find.

“Even if you delete it, it stays online forever – they often don’t think about that when sending a message they will later come to regret.”

Dr Bain said the level of abuse was becoming more violent, graphic and disturbing.

“These young people are becoming more and more desen-

sitised and won’t hold anything back. Social media enables young people to feel like somebody when in the real world they feel like a nobody, it becomes a matter of ego.

“I’ve done inquests where I’ve accessed the content of cyberbullying and it can be a stack six inches thick. You go through these messages of hate and abuse and it makes your hair stand on end.”

He said cyber-bullying was more common in youth because the frontal cortex of their brains had not fully developed.

“It is that section of the brain that assesses risk. When it is not fully developed, people are less likely to consider the con-

sequences of their words or actions.” He said that education was the key to solving the cyberbullying issue.

“I do praise the Government for taking the issue seriously but in order to reduce the problem we need to be educating our young people.

“Schools need to be on top of it and parents need to be aware of what their children are doing online. Cellphones are extremely accessible now that almost every child has one, and they are so adept at using the technology that parents need to have guidelines and rules in place,” he said.

“Cyber-bullying is a problem but it is a problem we are facing head-on.”

Kiwi boaties found safe Three Kiwis who spent a cold night on an Australian island after their boat flipped have been found safe and well.

Scott Olsen, 27, Tim Harte, 27, and Campbell Banks, 24, were fishing in Western Australia waters when their boat broke down and overturned, forcing them to swim 500m to the nearby Wedge Island.

Wedge Island is 180km north of Perth.

The trio shed their clothes and swam in shorts to the island, uncomfortable aware of news of recent WA fatal shark attacks, the West Australian newspaper reported.

Mr Olsen was carrying a lighter was able to light a fire on the island, helping to protect the men from the rain and cold.

The fire drew the attention of a man passing by on a boat yesterday morning and he alerted searchers, who were hunting for the men after loved ones in Perth raised the alarm when they didn’t come home.

All three work in WA but were born in New Zealand.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Weaving together true stories

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s annual production examines the past and present through the tying together of two stories from other sides of the world.

Threads, which was written by head of senior school Claire Bubb, weaves together the true stories of a Dutch boy and his family in German-occupied Holland during World War Two and a young Maori woman who goes against her family traditions by marrying a pakeha.

Sixty students have been tirelessly working on the show in production, back stage and as cast, for the past 10 weeks to get it ready for opening night on Friday.

Mrs Bubb said the production involves all year levels and has been adapted to fit with the school.

Students were able to put their own ideas into it and the production team is entirely student-led, she said.

“The students have really taken ownership of it.”

The play was written as a result of a talk Mrs Bubb had with her father nine years ago.

“My dad is Dutch, I knew he was around in World War Two during the occupation of Holland but he never really talked about it until nine years ago when he sat me down and we spent about three hours talking about what happened to him and his family.”

His dad owned a large cheese factory in the town where they lived, which was about the same size as Ashburton, and when the Germans occupied the town they wanted to take hold of the factory, she said.

Her grandfather refused so it was burnt down in front of him and his six children (including her father) all under the age of 10.

When her father was telling her this story, Mrs Bubb thought it was something worth telling to others and started to think about how everybody has a story. At about the same time she was talking to a Maori friend who was shunned for marrying a white man.

The play threads these two stories together in present time at a campsite in New Zealand on New Year’s Eve. “The whole intention is to get the audience to think about their own stories.

Members of the Ashburton College production team for Threads Jake Dudley, 16, Nicole Johnson, 17, Clark Stewart, 14, Toby Lee, 14, William Wallis, 14, Sean Achten, 17, and Ben Wakelin, 17, getting the stage ready.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 100616-AK-022 “The aim is to entertain but also make people think a little bit about race and religion.

“I always love the ideas coming to life on stage, especially as they are true stories.”

Threads will be performed in the Ashburton College auditorium from June 17-19 at 7pm.

“LOCHLEA LIFESTYLE RESORT IS ALL ABOUT INDEPENDENT LIVING AND HERE YOU CAN DO AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU LIKE WHILE STILL ENJOYING LIFE AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD OUTSIDE OUR SECURE ENVIRONMENT”.

Some people believe that to live in a Lifestyle Resort such as ours means losing their independence. This is simply not correct. In our resort you will have your own space without any hassles. You are able to furnish your villa with your own furniture and personal items and decide how you wish to spend your days and with whom. The security of your villa is controlled by you and you should feel at home and absolutely secure in your environment.

Some people are concerned that when moving away from their family it means that no one will be around to help when needed. At our Resort we have built in security measures designed to reduce the worry that often comes from living along. Features are in place to respond quickly in the event that you need someone to help you.

Some people also believe that moving to a place of independent living means saying goodbye to hobbies such as gardening. Our residents will tell you that they are more active now than when they were living alone. Residents are still able to look after their own gardens if they so desire and in addition to this there are numerous other activities that they can pursue.

It is important to note that studies have shown that people who are active and engaged are healthier and happier. Activity programmes give all residents options and choices tailored to their specific needs, desires and lifestyles. They can also reduce the isolation felt when living alone.

■ ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY

Changes to some courses

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Ara Institute of Canterbury’s influence in Ashburton is being felt with a change in some courses being offered.

Ashburton’s Aoraki Polytechnic campus has had a number of changes, including in staff and courses, since the merger between Aoraki and Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology becoming Ara Institute of Canterbury on December 31.

An Ara spokesperson said there

had been a number of new developments in the business programme in Ashburton since the merger.

The Level 4 NZ Certificate in Office Administration will be offered in Ashburton next semester which provides students with a pathway to a higher level of study from the Level 3 programme which was offered this semester.

The institute has also recently received approval from NZQA to extend the delivery of business degree courses to all campuses,

including Ashburton. The details of this will be announced at a later date.

Ashburton students are also able to access other business courses onsite or via video conference.

This year Ara has not offered the usual Level 2 Beauty programme in Ashburton as there were limited employment opportunities from this and, as a result, interest had declined, she said.

Instead a vocational pathway programme in Hair & Beauty

is being offered for secondary school students which could lead to apprenticeships or study at a higher level.

The Hospitality STAR and short courses are running as planned for this year but the Licence Controller v Qualification has not been offered due to low numbers, she said.

Next year Ara will be offering a range of new foundation qualifications across the wider Canterbury region including Ashburton.

■ UNITED STATES

Terror attack ‘tragic’ Politicians from both parties have swiftly condemned the mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub, although within hours of the incident their reaction split largely along partisan lines.

Hillary Clinton postponed her planned joint rally with President Barack Obama in Green Bay, Wisconsin, citing “the tragic attack”.

In a statement, she decried the shooting as both “an act of terror” and “an act of hate”.

“For now, we can say for certain that we need to redouble our efforts to defend our country from threats at home and abroad,” Clinton said.

“That means defeating international terror groups, working with allies and partners to go after them wherever they are, countering their attempts to recruit people here and everywhere, and hardening our defences at home.

“It also means refusing to be intimidated and staying true to our values.”

While Clinton and other Democrats spoke of the need for further firearms restrictions and decried the targeting of members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, Republicans emphasised the threat homegrown terrorism poses in the United States.

But several Republicans, including presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, said the shooting underscored how the federal Government has not done enough to curb the threat of terrorism.

Most Republican officials did not mention that the gunman targeted a gay nightclub.

Trump, who tweeted that it was “horrific” and he was “praying for all the victims & their families,” also questioned why it had not been prevented.

“When will this stop? When will we get tough, smart & vigilant?” he tweeted.

An hour later, he reiterated his criticism of the Administration’s national security stance.

About an hour after that, Trump called some attention to his own warnings about terrorism, tweeting: “Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don’t want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!”

Later, Trump tweeted that Obama should “immediately resign in disgrace” if he did not mention the words “radical Islamic terrorism”.

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida said that he and his staffers were prepared to offer constituent services for those affected by the attack, but emphasised government officials must focus on stamping out domestic terrorism wherever possible.

“Confronting the threat of violent homegrown radicalisation is one of the greatest counterterrorism challenges our law enforcement and intelligence community faces,” Rubio’s statement said.

“Only a couple of days ago Pebbles said on Twitter that the one thing she wants more than attention is money, so we’re gonna offer her both,” says Stanaway.

“Plus we’ll pay for her to have a professional trainer, we’re giving her exactly what she wants.” While he says Khanjani will “fight anyone”, Hooper’s “cyber-bully” ways have put her in the headlines.

Visconti lamented the sound of modern music, calling what you hear on the radio “fluff ”, and saying what you’re hearing is “90 per cent computerised voices”. “We know Adele has a great voice but it’s even questionable if that is actually her voice or how much has been manipulated.” he said. “There’s a sound to pop now that is so perfect it’s boring, because everything is fixed.”

Pulling funding on Think First myopic Michelle Nelson

T

he funding plug has been pulled on Safer Ashburton’s Think First programme.

The Ministry of Social Development has funded the programme for the past three years, paying co-ordinator John Hobbs’ wages while he set about changing attitudes toward bullying within the community.

As of July 15, he will be out of work. Ironically, the same day John was made redundant, Dr Wallace Bain, who played a major role in bringing about the Harmful Digital Communications Act, spoke out about bullying.

Dr Bain is of the opinion that while the response to cyberbullying may have improved, the bullying in itself is still a significant problem.

The consequences can be life-long, and all too often end in tragedy.

Many of us were aghast to hear news of a coroner’s interpretation of the circumstances leading to the deaths of five teenagers, each of whom died at their own hand in the same community within the space of 12 months.

While dysfunctional backgrounds and substance abuse linked the teens, bullying was also a common denominator.

It’s impossible to comprehend the cost of just one such death in a community, even though we, in Mid Canterbury, are not strangers to youth suicide.

Why then cut funding on highly successful community-driven projects such as Think First?

It takes time to change culture – there’s no question about that, and there’s much more work to be done in this community and others around the country if we are going to stem the impact of bullying.

Three years is not going to fix the problem, at the very least John’s work has prompted us to ask questions and look at ourselves as role models but there’s another generation of cyber savvy kids in the wings.

While schools and parents need to keep on top of the game, Think First engaged directly with the kids, challenging them to come up with their own projects.

John was the right person to co-ordinate the project; he connected the district’s youth with the wider community.

As a result we were all starting to understand each other better.

He will be missed.

Farming in China is still heavily reliant on people power, with minimal mechanisation and modern equipment.

Putting NZ in perspective S

tepping off a plane and onto a train that covers 30 kilometres in eight minutes makes you realise you are no longer in New Zealand.

This train topped out at 315km/h on our journey but is capable of over 400km/h.

From the train, onto a bus and after about an hour of city driving you meander down from a multi height freeway system to true ground level.

At ground level inside this huge circular freeway interchange you find a magnificently landscaped park, full of people enjoying a break from their busy schedule.

Welcome to China, to Shanghai, a city with an official population of over 24 million people.

They actually believe there is around another five million people living there unrecorded, that alone, more than the population of New Zealand.

This is a huge, diverse and complex situation. Within the large cities the ancient and modern co-exist until at some point it is determined the old has had its time and new replaces it.

Stand on the famed “Bund” in Shanghai and look across the river to the many skyscrapers and then imagine that 15 years ago that land was being farmed.

What a transformation.

As a rural person to leave the city, that in itself takes a lengthy period of time, so one can view rural life was much anticipated.

Rick Powdrell FROM THE FARM

Around Shanghai and later Beijing the farm lots were small primarily based around market gardening and a few small, livestock enterprises.

Even out in these areas there were the towering accommodation apartments housing the many farm workers who tend the fields with minimal mechanisation and modern equipment.

Later we visited Hohhot, a major city of Inner Mongolia, another step back from Shanghai and Beijing with minimal westernisation.

Here the locals looked at you with interest, to see a large group of “big noses” is a novelty for people in these parts.

Flying into Hohhot we passed over areas of ancient terraced hillsides, many surprisingly steep, reflecting on past agricultural exploits. Closer to the city extensive areas of arable land grows large quantities of potatoes while venturing out we came to the massive, vast grasslands area.

Here there are many sheep, admittedly less than there was as the government have realised the farmers could not go on over-

grazing the land. The farm we visited had an allocation of four hundred sheep on 90 hectares.

The sheep are housed at night and allowed to roam during the day, by our standards they look rough and lean, but are a product of the environment, particularly the harsh, cold winters.

Earlier, near Shanghai, we had visited a sheep genetics centre where Australian Merino, Dorper and Suffolk genes were being introduced to the local sheep.

The crossbred sheep we viewed were certainly a visual improvement in muscling but the challenge will be how these sheep adapt in the natural environment.

Back on the grasslands the reduction in sheep numbers has seen the development of alternative income streams, notably tourism. Tourist urts, accommodation huts, have appeared all over the grasslands, with Chinese tourists being encouraged to visit the area.

Accompanying the accommodation tourists can ride horses, motorbikes and ATVs while experiencing the local culture.

The environmental spend in this country is plain to see, millions of trees are being planted throughout the country, particularly along roads.

Another sight of interest was to see waterways being lined to alleviate ground leakage and weirs built to control the flows and

location of storage.

These weren’t small streams, but significant water courses being concrete lined.

Water is a major limiting factor for the Chinese, the sheer demand of population and industry and the location of source make efficient utilisation a challenge.

As a tourist you don’t drink the tap water, with quality also being a major issue.

When you visit many of the agricultural areas, as a New Zealander you immediately think of the potential of the flat or easy rolling ground, thousands of hectares but in most cases water is the limiting factor.

I wonder what the future holds for China.

Can the huge cities continue to be sustainable, are they ripe for a disease outbreak, or will this mammoth juggernaut continue to modernise, overcome their limiting factors and further their position as a major world powerhouse?

You leave realising we do hail from a dot on the world map in comparison, but as a trading country our potential in China is large, yet complex.

A special understanding and relationship is vital to succeed, it won’t happen overnight and will be challenging at every corner.

In brief

■ AKAROA

Black Cat spends up large Black Cat Cruises has started a $1 million extension of its visitor and retail centre on Akaroa wharf.

The investment, recognising increased tourist numbers, has been welcomed by Christchurch & Canterbury Tourism as a strengthening of the “visitor proposition” for the region.

The revitalisation project includes the removal of old cold stores, part of the Black Cat Cruises centre, to allow a larger building with more retail, customer and staff facilities.

The eco-tourism operator’s building design includes environmentally-friendly and power saving features along with better wheelchair access.

The underlying wharf is also owned by Black Cat. A wood pallet burner will heat water for the showers that visitors use after swimming with the dolphins in Akaroa Harbour.

New toilets and change facilities are also part of the project with a September completion deadline.

An artist’s impression of the proposed new visitor and retail centre.

Chief executive Paul Milligan says the extension of the visitor centre is the biggest investment for Black Cat Cruises since the purchase of their flagship vessel, known as Black Cat, in 1999.

Black Cat Cruises now carries in the order of 100,000 passengers annually.

following the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes we probably would not have considered investing so much.

“That being said some of our facilities needed upgrading.

“For example our shower and change rooms will include underfloor heating and we like to treat our all customers with a world-class product.”

Black Cat Cruises sales and marketing manager Natasha Lombart says the company is seeing renewed interest in Akaroa from international markets, and forward tourist bookings are now stretching out as far as August 2017.

Black Cat, which is celebrating 30 years in business, draws in millions of passengers each year on scenic and wildlife Akaroa cruises and regular Banks Peninsula ferry services.

Christchurch & Canterbury Tourism chief executive Vic Allen says Black Cat Cruises’ $1m investment is significant and recognises Akaroa’s importance as a cruise ship and tourist destination.

Broadband speeds and connection numbers have soared across rural New Zealand as the Government’s Rural Broadband Initiative comes to an end.

Chorus upgraded 1200 broadband roadside cabinets across the country as part of the initiative, which wrapped up last week, improving the broadband access for an estimated 110,000 homes and businesses.

The total number of national rural connections has grown 73 per cent, according to figures released by Chorus.

Northland was the region that had the greatest number of cabinets upgraded, with 210 being upgraded.

After the upgrades were completed, Northland had the second highest number of rural broadband connections of 14,870, after Auckland region, which has 16,682.

Nelson had the greatest growth in broadband connections after 29 cabinets were upgraded and 260 connections, a growth of 348 per cent.

The average connection speed for rural New Zealand is currently 13.8 Mbps, an increase of 148 per cent from 5.6 Mbps before the Rural Broadband Initiative.

Otago region had the fastest average connection speed of 16.5 Mbps, up from 5.9 Mbps before the initiative.

‘Potential’ support Prime Minister John Key says he “potentially” supports incomerelated restrictions on mortgage lending. Mr Key said increasing supply was still the main issue to dampen the “overheated” Auckland property market, but the Reserve Bank had some options to address the demand side.

Wind farm a winner Trustpower’s proposed Waverley Wind Farm will inject $40 million into the Taranaki economy while being built, and $3.3 million a year after that, says New Zealand Institute of Economic Research senior economist Peter Clough.

“The impact on rural businesses and the economy has also started to gain a momentum that can be felt in many communities, with the availability of faster broadband meaning the emergence of new businesses which could never have been contemplated just a few years ago.”

MARKET REPORT Dairy More settled weather and mild conditions mixed with frosts saw the snow disappear from the mountains, but provides good utilisation for cows on crops.

However, the dry period continues to worry. Some wells in Mid Canterbury are at their lowest levels for 66 years. The water replacement scheme to boost the aquifers from the river, seems well founded.

Managers are looking to rebuild body condition back to 5 for mixed-aged cows and 5.5 for younger animals. They also have to grapple with the compromise of attaining these goals and having adequate feed covers at calving in a weak cash environment.

An adviser report on a northern trial shows a low-cost pasture operation is more profitable than an imported feed or extra crops systems. Lower income was compensated by much lower costs and this resulted in a better return.

The latest Oceania milk prices revealed good lifts over all milk commodities, but these sadly were all nullified by the big currency rises this week, with the US dollar reaching a yearly high.

The Fonterra governance vote, while receiving support from 64 per cent of voters, failed to reach the 75 per cent acceptance level necessary for change.

Synlait announced its new season rate at $4.50/kg ms, but adjusted back this year’s figure to $3.90, in line with both Fonterra and Westland.

Total farms being offered for sale is now nearly half what it was three years ago, as the dairy debt balloons to $40 billion or $2/ kg ms.

Federated Farmers has responded to calls to limit immigration by stating there is a genuine shortage of New Zealand workers prepared to do dairy work. Migrants fill an important role in that regard.

Lamb This week’s schedules were easier as some processors reacted negatively to the sud-

den currency lifts and customer sensitivity to higher pricing when cheaper alternative proteins are readily available.

They also report this last season has been difficult in terms of profitability, as increased competition for falling stock numbers in a flat overseas market has trimmed margins.

The local trade schedules are steady at present and saleyard prices are lifting only because more quality animals are being offered.

Wool The single North Island wool auction last week was hit by the rapidly strengthening currency with the US dollar 4.4 per cent higher than last week, and prices and passings reflected that.

Next week’s South Island sale is small due to the delay caused by the recent wet weather. New season’s mid-micron wools were over $1/kg clean behind on where they were last year.

Beef Stable beef schedules this week as processors report good grilling season demand out of the US and restricted supply out of Australia, where recent heavy rains are expected to encourage some restocking.

Sire bulls sales have been strong as breeders look to invest in more profitable genes for better beef returns.

Beef and Lamb NZ report that prices for sheep and beef farm inputs have fallen by 2 per cent over the last March year, led by big drops from interest and fuel.

Deer Venison schedules eased unexpectedly this week as processors factor in the currency.

Negotiations with European customers are proving challenging due to lack of supply.

Prices are expected to be better than last year but sustainable long-term returns should be the goal if the recent reinvestment into females is to have a good result.

New bobby calf rules set for spring

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Farmers and transporters have been put on notice with tougher rules on the handling of bobby calves set to be introduced ahead of the spring calving season.

However, other regulations around feed and shelter requirements will be delayed until 2017.

Under the new rules: ■ Calves must be at least four days old before being transported for slaughter or sale.

■ Transport time must not exceed 12 hours and young calves cannot be taken across the Cook Strait.

■ The killing of any calves by blunt force trauma is banned, except in emergency situations.

■ Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy said the other regulations would be delayed to allow businesses time to make needed changes. They include: ■ Requiring young calves to be fed at least once in the 24 hours before slaughter (February 1).

■ Providing suitable shelter

for young calves during transportation, and at points of sale or slaughter (August next year).

■ Requiring loading and unloading facilities be used when calves are transported for sale and slaughter (August next year).

“The new regulations are part of a suite of wider initiatives by Government and all of the industries involved with bobby calves,” Mr Guy said.

“They also provide MPI with a wider set of compliance tools including the ability to impose direct fines for lower-level offending, and a wider set of offences.”

Federated Farmers has expressed concern over the loading regulation that requires that calves can walk on and off transport of their own accord, saying truck decks were a metre and a half off the ground and it was physically impossible for young calves.

The Bobby Calf Action Group is made up of DairyNZ, Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand, Meat Industry Association, Federated Farmers, New Zealand

Petfood Manufacturers Association, Road Transport Forum, New Zealand Veterinary Association and the Ministry for Primary Industries.

Earlier this month 38-year-old Waikato man Noel Erickson admitted 10 charges laid under the Animal Welfare Act, including wilfully and recklessly ill-treating calves and using blunt force trauma.

The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) launched a probe last September after covertly filmed video footage revealed animals being severely mistreated on a farm and in a slaughterhouse.

The footage showed calves being torn from their mothers and left in the hot sun for hours. Bobby calves were also thrown into trucks, kicked and thrown about at a slaughterhouse and beaten to death.

MPI laid a further four representative charges against a company and an individual last month in relation to alleged animal welfare offences involving bobby calves.

Generous donation benefits Ronald McDonald House

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ronald McDonald House South Island is $25,000 better off thanks to the generosity of the Mid Canterbury Vintage Machinery Club.

Earlier this year the club staged the Wheat and Wheels Rally for the second time, on Peter Butterick’s farm in the Wakanui district,

attracting a record turnout of machinery exhibitors and thousands of spectators.

President Peter McMullan said the club had chosen the charity because it benefited children and families.

Ronald McDonald South Island CEO Matt Mark said the donation was “phenomenal”.

“I couldn’t believe the size of the rally, everyone had a fantastic time, and the donation is awesome,” he said.

The cheque was handed over during a morning tea held at Farmlands Ashburton branch, who sponsored the rally.

A DVD and a book on the rally are also in the pipeline.

A beginning for some, for others an ending

BY KATHLEEN STRINGER

W

hile not a port, Ashburton received its fair share of “new chums” direct from the immigrant ships.

Men, some with families, came to the area in search of work, and while jobs were available, housing was not.

Although some lucky people had accommodation pre-booked, via family, friends, even employers, the majority of immigrants had to spend the first few weeks of their new lives in the immigrant barracks.

These barracks (sometimes called depots to placate those who felt the term barracks suggested prison or army accommodation) were a joint venture between the provincial government and the general assembly, in Wellington. Each province was responsible for the construction, maintenance and administration of their barracks.

In 1873, John Grigg, chairman of the Ashburton Road Board (which later formed part of the Ashburton County Council), suggested that Ashburton should have barracks, or cottages, situated just outside the town belt, where land values were lower.

The reserve decided upon was the block bounded by Short, Grigg, Tancred and Winter streets.

Rakaia too had an immigrants depot. It was the old South Rakaia hotel which was built in 1864. In 1874 the provincial government took over the building when it lost its licence. Smaller than Ashburton’s, this building could still house 15 families and 20 single men.

The wooden Ashburton barracks were estimated to cost over £1000, of which the central government provided £750.

Never intended for long-term stays, the building was divided into 23 rooms, 20 feet x 9 feet, for up to 20 families, plus a dormitory for 20 or so single men.

Alongside the barracks were cottages, which could be rented out to those immigrants who needed a little more time to settle themselves.

These cottages were sold for removal in 1882 and a house for the barracks’ master and matron was erected in their place. This building was later moved to Tuarangi Home and became the gardener’s cottage.

The Ashburton Road Board also erected nine two-bedroom rural cottages in rural areas.

This bar-

1 – The former Rakaia accommodation house that later became an immigration barracks.

2 – The matron and master’s house at the Short Street site was relatively new and was moved to the new Tuarangi Home in Tuarangi Road.

3 – One of the buildings from the old immigration barracks was moved to the new Tuarangi Home, where it became a day room and a chapel for use of the patients.

4 – Part of the Short Street immigration barracks became a headquarters for gardeners at Tuarangi Home.

5 – Part of the original immigration barracks today. racks also served as Ashburton’s first “hospital”, or more correctly emergency ward, where cases could be treated before being transported to Christchurch.

It also proved a necessity when the flood-prone area was cut off, sometimes for weeks, from either Christchurch or Timaru. The use of one room and a medical chest for use by local doctors was arranged by the provincial government.

Although there were still a few immigrants making use of the barracks, in 1878 the building was given to the local Charitable Aid Board who used it to house destitute old men from Ashburton and beyond.

Until 1880 when the Ashburton Hospital was built, the old, infirm, sick and maternity cases, all jostled for room among the immigrants.

In 1879 the secretary of

Christchurch Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, which administered Ashburton, stated that the buildings were unsuitable.

It was altered, so it now had 20 dormitory places, a kitchen, bathroom and an open air verandah which faced Short Street. It also had a room for the invalids, who were largely bedridden. It may have been larger but it was still a cold and draughty “refuge”.

In 1885 a new wing was added to the barracks, built by men on charitable aid and the inmates themselves.

There was no such thing as retirement in the days before national superannuation. Men who could, were expected to work.

There is a well-known story of a resident with no feet who still managed to dig the garden.

If unable to work outside, inmates were directed to undertake tasks, such as washing dishes or

5

looking after fellow inmates.

Failure to perform such duties, as well as other acts of insubordination, such as not getting up on time, leaving the home without permission, or bad language, could get the offender expelled.

In 1902 the old men left the immigration barracks for a new home called Tuarangi Home.

Some of the buildings, including the master’s house, followed them. One was used as a day or smoking room and chapel, another as a gardener’s shed. The others were sold for removal in 1903.

If buildings could talk I am sure that the old barracks in

Short Street would have had much to say. They could tell of the comings and goings of new families fresh from overseas and the drama of medical procedures and illnesses. They also could tell the long, sometimes sad, and uncomfortable tale of men who had come to the barracks to end their days or seek shelter through harsh winters.

While the walls, long since gone, haven’t left any stories we do have a few photographs and enough documentation in the archive at Ashburton Museum to paint an interesting picture of one of Ashburton’s formative buildings.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return — almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 — the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men.

The Ashburton Museum with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains, has erected in front of the Museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the Museum.

In brief Schmidt going south?

Highlanders CEO Roger Clark has confirmed that last year’s Super Rugby champions are pursuing the services of current Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt. Clark said they had called the former Blues assistant coach and that his potential comeback to New Zealand could provide him with an opportunity to take the All Blacks head coach job when Steve Hansen departs. With Tony Brown signing a one-year contract for next season, Clark said it was a good opportunity for Schmidt to get involved with Super Rugby and put his name forward for the All Blacks job.

The pre-after-match The Wales squad have to fly out of Hamilton straight after tonight’s match against the Chiefs at Waikato Stadium so they have broken with tradition and, perhaps created a new one for touring teams – they held their post-match dinner on Sunday, 48 hours before the match.

The two squads mingled at company director Mitch Plaw’s palatial property, a social return to the old traditions of the game, which, sadly in this professional age is virtually no more. Wales coach Warren Gatland has strong links to the region as a former Waikato player/coach and the evening was a continuation of that relationship.

Town takes the honours

Town earned local bragging rights with an overall win over Country in the annual Town versus Country clash at Celtic Rugby Club on Sunday.

Some results of the younger

age groups were not recorded due to the dismal weather, but Mid Canterbury Rugby Development Officer Jason Ree praised the players for coping well in testing conditions and for the high level of rugby on display throughout the age groups.

“It was a good day, despite the cold conditions and it was well managed with the weather,” he said.

“It’s a great privilege to play in the Town and Country and there was plenty of pride and passion on show.”

Town under-10s took a 35-20 win over their Country counterparts, and also won the under-12 and under-13 fixtures 36-14 and 39-10 respectively, but Country did get the better of the under14s grade for a convincing 43-19 victory.

There are few, if any, better impact players in the world than Beauden Barrett but loose forward Ardie Savea showed in the first test against Wales that he could soon be considered near the same level.

In the 20 minutes he played off the bench in his debut test, Savea proved he is comfortable on this stage, that he can play with the same power and explosiveness he does for the Hurricanes, and that he and Sam Cane could prove a formidable partnership in the years ahead. The 22-year-old Savea has the ability to replace Cane, or perhaps Jerome Kaino, or even a lock. In Savea they have an ace up their sleeve.

- NZME

Back to drawing board The Wallabies concede they must play smarter rugby to beat a rampant England and keep their series alive on Saturday in Melbourne.

Australia opened the three-Test series with a 39-28 loss to England, who out-muscled and out-thought the home side to claim their first ever Test win at Suncorp. Led by James Haskell and Maro Itoje, their dominance at the breakdown and set-piece was key. The Australians also too often looked predictable as they tried to batter England’s defensive line rather than change up their tactics.

- NZME

North going home Star winger George North has been ruled out of Wales’ tour after suffering a hamstring injury in the first Test. North was injured in the final move in Wales’ 39-21 loss to the All Blacks on Saturday, and has now been released from Warren Gatland’s squad. Rhys Patchell was called up on Saturday following the injury, while Gatland has brought in 18-year-old Keelan Giles from the Wales Under-20s squad currently competing in the Junior World Cup in Manchester. - NZME

In brief

■ LENNYTHESHARK

Champ keeps on winning How will we ever get the best of Lenny now?

That is the question which every horseperson with an openclass steed must be whispering to themselves following Lennytheshark’s dominant Golden Mile triumph at Menangle.

Let’s analyse the facts: on Saturday night David Aiken’s Inter Dominion and Victoria Cup king was first up since the Miracle Mile, drawn outside the front row and short a crucial trial.

He was also parked in transit and was left a sitting shot.

This was Lennytheshark at his weakest, his most vulnerable, his most susceptible and exposed.

Yet he still won with the arrogance of an equine Usain Bolt.

Despite the fact he wasn’t tackling what you’d call an all-star field at Sydney HQ, Lenny was fronting up against the best NSW has to offer now and is likely to offer in the next six months.

He’s also likely to face moderate opposition by his standards in Victoria where 10-year-old stablemate, Smudge Bromac, beat It Is Billy and Lets Elope in Friday night’s fast class feature.

That means the greatest threat

M3

Lennytheshark: Is he as good as Have Faith In Me? to Lenny’s autocracy right now is emerging stablemate, Hectorjayjay, who he’s very likely to meet in Sunday week’s Len Smith Mile.

If Aiken’s on the money though, that threat is not so great.

“I was more relieved than anything with how well Lenny went on the weekend,” the star horseman said.

“I normally go to the races with complete confidence in him and I was confident he’d run well but I also knew that he’d improve on

whatever he did this week.

“The best thing about the win was that he got that breather in the second quarter and he won with something up his sleeve.

“He’s recovered a treat since then so he’ll be spot on for the Len Smith Mile.

“Hector might also go there but Queensland is his big aim. He’s probably where Lenny was 12 months ago you know, and it’s a big step up to bridge that sort of gap.

The paths of the talented stablemates O’Rachael and Tennessee aren’t likely to cross any time too soon in their three-year-old careers.

One of them is likely to have the Gr.3 Gold Trail Stakes as an early spring target, while the other will be kept closer to home. “We will look to split them between the Gold Trail and maybe the Soliloquy Stakes,” co-trainer Stephen McKee said. “They are a couple of nice fillies who will train on and they both need good tracks.”

- NZME

Bosson staying on Opie Bosson’s Hong Kong tenure has been extended and he will continue to ride there until December. He has yet to open his winning account, but he has ridden a number of placegetters. Bosson will be joined in Hong Kong in the 2016-17 season by the promising apprentice Dylan Mo, who has ridden 42 winners since he linked up with Allan Sharrock in 2014. - NZME

Tarzino pre-training Victoria Derby winner Tarzino has begun his build-up toward his spring targets. The New Zealandbred galloper is in pre-training before his return to Mick Price’s Caulfield stable. Tarzino and Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young’s Gr.1 Australian Derby winner Tavago, are both sons of Tavistock. - NZME

“Right now Hector is really exciting but he’s still pretty one dimensional; Lenny can make three runs in a race and still finish the same.

“That’s the difference between the two horses at the moment.”

So if Hectorjayjay can’t beat Lennyk and there’s little resistance in either NSW or Victoria right now, what about the fouryear-olds about to come of age?

Arms Of An Angel is in flux to some degree and Tact Tate is exciting but probably not Lennyclass. Tee Cee Bee Macray is untapped but also one-dimensional at this stage of his career and Menin Gate is back but may lack true Grand Circuit speed.

That leaves us with the rivalry we all want desperately to continue but which is unlikely to be reignited until next year’s Victoria Cup. That is the rivalry between Lennytheshark and Have Faith In Me. For Lenny the Inter Dominion is his major aim before Victoria’s 2017 Summer of Glory; for Have Faith In Me a crack at the Holy New Zealand Cup. Let’s hope they both succeed in those ventures before they meet again.

‘I just got outplayed’

Brooke Henderson is congratulated by Lydia Ko after their playoff at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship yesterday.

PHOTO AP

Her first victory came last year in Portland, Oregon.

“To think about all of the incredible players that have become before me,” Henderson said.

“I was reading some of the names on this trophy and it’s very, very cool.”

Ko was bidding to become the fifth player in tour history to win three straight majors.

Most times a bogey-free round with four birdies would be enough.

“I’m happy with the way I played. I just got outplayed,” the New Zealander said.

“For Brooke to shoot 65 on the final day at a major, at a course like this is very impressive.”

The final round was a display of nearly flawless golf from the best after players spent the first three rounds getting kicked around at difficult Sahalee.

Henderson, Ko and third-place Ariya Jutanugarn played a combined 56 holes on the final day without a bogey.

Jutanugarn, in search of a fourth straight victory, shot a 66 to finish a stroke back.

The 20-year Thai player missed a birdie putt on the 18th that could have put her into the playoff.

But no-one was better than Henderson, who was the first round leader after a 67 before shooting consecutive rounds of 73.

Three times she saved par

out of the bunker, although her best save came the first time she played the 18th.

Henderson’s tee shot found the trees right of the fairway, but she scrambled to make a 12-footer to finish out a back nine of 31.

That moment likely decided the tournament.

While Henderson saved par on 18, Ko missed a 4-foot birdie try on the par-3 17th after a perfect tee shot.

“I’m not really sure if I pushed it,” Ko said.

“I didn’t feel like it was a bad stroke.”

Henderson began the day at even par, two strokes behind Ko. The Canadian pulled off the comeback with a perfect back nine after going out in 2 under.

Henderson’s 90-foot eagle putt from the front of the green at the 11th was just the third at the long par 5 all week and separated her from a large pack at 2-under.

“We needed to go on a birdie run or something so that sort of jump started us and we were able to keep going,” said Brittany Henderson, her sister’s caddie.

Ko answered with a birdie at the 11th, but Henderson drew another huge roar with a birdie at the 13th to stay one shot behind.

Both continued to make pars until the 17th when Henderson pulled even by dropping a 35foot birdie putt after pulling her tee shot to the wrong side of the green on the par 3.

But Henderson had one more birdie remaining that will only raise the expectations for the Canadian star.

“Looking forward to the rest of the summer.

“There’s still three major championships left. I’d like to get my name on all three of those,” Henderson said.

“But I won’t get ahead of myself here.”

Hamilton honours Ali with GP win Lewis Hamilton took care of business yesterday, winning a fifth Canadian Grand Prix, cutting Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg’s championship lead to nine points and paying tribute to the late boxing great Muhammad Ali. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. That’s for Muhammad Ali,” the triple world champion said over the radio after taking the chequered flag at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

After parking up, Hamilton did an ‘Ali shuffle’ in another mark of respect for the former heavyweight champion, whose funeral was on Friday.

Basketballers in action Ashburton College senior basketball sides host games at Oxford Street stadium tonight. The girls play St Margaret’s in a game starting at 5pm, and Ashcoll should be favourites to win considering they sit fourth on the Whelan Trophy ladder and the visitors are 10th. The boys play Rangiora in what is expected to be another close encounter. Ashcoll sits eighth on the Thompson Trophy ladder, with the visitors at sixth.

Brazil knocked out Peru stunned Brazil 1-0 yesterday, eliminating it from Copa America on a late goal by Raul Ruidiaz that may have been a hand ball. Peru beat Brazil for the first time in 31 years to win Group B and will face Colombia in the quarter-finals on Friday. Dominated for most of the game, Peru’s Andy Polo managed a takeaway and crossed to Ruidiaz in the box. He deflected the ball into the net, and Brazil keeper Alisson immediately complained the ball also made contact with Ruidiaz’s hand.

New Cowboys stadium Johnathan Thurston demanded it and the election delivered it. A new stadium in Townsville is set to be built just outside the Queensland city’s CBD after Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull committed his government to providing $100 million in funding for the project.

Turnbull’s announcement came less than a week after the Queensland Government committed to provide $140 million of the funds for the $250 million project, with the NRL stumping up the remaining $10 million.

In brief

■ GOLF

Brooke Henderson kept hearing the roar of fans echoing through the trees, leaving her to wonder what was happening elsewhere on the golf course.

By the end, all those roars were left just for her.

And for good reason.

“The way the noise echoed here was really cool,” Henderson said.

“I’d never experienced that before. ... And then a lot of those cheers ended up being for me, which was even cooler.”

Henderson won her first major title yesterday, beating topranked Lydia Ko with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship after overcoming a three-shot deficit on the back nine.

The 18-year-old Canadian, ranked No. 4 in the world, closed with a bogey-free 6-under 65 – the best round of the week at Sahalee Country Club – to match Ko at 6-under 278.

Ko finished with a 67.

In the playoff on the par-4 18th, Henderson hit her second shot a 7-iron from 155 yards – to three feet, while Ko’s second from farther back in the fairway left her with 20 feet.

Ko missed to the left, and Henderson tapped in to cap a week that started with a hole-in-one on her fourth hole Thursday and ended with a major championship.

Henderson became the second-youngest winner in a major championship, with Ko the youngest last year in the Evian Championship in France.

Henderson also is the second Canadian woman to win a major championship, following Sandra Post’s victory in the 1968 event, and is projected to jump from fourth to second in the world today.

the car was really floating,” he said of his 45th career victory in Formula One. “The last 15 laps all I could do was think of him (Ali). The Rumble in the Jungle.

“Maybe he was watching the race. But RIP. This was for him.”

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel finished second and Finland’s Valtteri Bottas was third for Williams, 46.4 seconds behind the winner.

In a frustrating afternoon marred by yet another sloppy pit stop, Australian Daniel Ricciardo was seventh in his Red Bull.

Vettel had made a lightning start from third on the grid to blast past both Mercedes and grab the lead of the 70-lap race at the first corner.

Rosberg got alongside Hamil-

Lewis Hamilton on the podium.

ton, who made another sluggish start, but he refused to yield as they fought for the tight space and their wheels banged and forced the title leader onto the grass.

The collision proved a huge setback for Rosberg who dropped to 10th with Hamilton staying second.

“I am at a real loss to know what happened. Had it been a longer straight I would have been a sitting duck,” said Hamilton.

Vettel, benefitting from the upgraded turbocharger Ferrari brought to the race, held the lead until his pitstop on lap 11 but the two-stop strategy was to prove the Italian team’s undoing.

Hamilton regained the lead for the final time when Vettel stopped for fresh tyres on lap 36.

“I am not going to blame anybody.

“We took the strategy decision as a team ... hindsight is always easy,” Vettel said.

Britain’s Chris Froome looks in good shape to defend his Tour de France title next month after winning the Criterium du Dauphine for the third time in four years yesterday. The Team Sky rider, who went on to win the Tour after both of his previous Dauphine wins in 2013 and 2015, ended the final stage in the French Alps with a 12 second overall lead over Frenchman Romain Bardet.

Murray back with Lendl Britain’s Andy Murray has reunited with former coach Ivan Lendl as the world No.2 prepares for another tilt at the Wimbledon title.

The reformed partnership will start from Monday at the grasscourt Aegon Championships at Queen’s Club, the Wimbledon warm-up event, with the Scot hoping it will be both successful and lasting.

Czech-born Lendl, 56, was world No.1 in the 1980s and won eight Grand Slam singles titles – three French Opens, three US Opens and two Australian Opens.

14/6

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Boundaries are set for so many reasons – property, communication, fear, etc.

There doesn’t always need to be a reason to draw a line, and yet there is one now.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your job will continue to be difficult if you don’t ask for help. So ask. Many capable people surround you, all of whom are looking forward to being able to support you in some way.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Maybe “tree hugger” is a hippy stereotype, but there is logic to wanting to wrap your arms around nature. The natural world connects people. Get into it.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): It is good to be able to represent to yourself and others that you are not afraid, that you will make a difference and that you are completely able to stand up for your beliefs.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The one who challenges you isn’t sure about your strength, but he or she will be soon. These are the kinds of tests that bring about your finest moments of personal fortitude.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The idea “everything” could hinge on one thing is usually an overstatement.

But today it rings true. Your “everything” – that is, however you feel about yourself – becomes magnified. Take an inventory of your best attributes.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The thing about it is that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. That is the way it goes in the song, and the way it goes in real life, too – for the clueless ones. Not you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You like to learn – need to, even – and learn you do. Today will bring you the entire scope of the lesson up front so that you can decide what to do with the fallout of this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): A difference of views will occur – strengths and weaknesses will be pointed out. It’s nothing that you don’t know already; this is an ongoing argument. But past today it won’t go on much longer.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The one who respects you has good reason. Now what do you think that reason might be? Investigate it. You’re great. Why don’t you know this about yourself already?

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your friend has been calling you, and you have been less available than usual. Circumstances -- that’s the long and short of it. But all of those situations will clear up very nearly.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): What is to be said for a person who can’t deliver what you want? You can only have respect for the intention if it’s followed up by action. Yours will be the first and the last move, so think it through very carefully.

Sport Green suspended - finally Through all of the criticism and accusations of dirty play, Draymond Green vowed to keep pushing as hard as he possibly could to help deliver another championship to Golden State. That win-at-all-costs mentality has suddenly opened the door for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to get back into the NBA Finals. Green was suspended for Game 5 after the league assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for striking James in the groin during a scuffle in the closing minutes of the Warrior’s Game 4 victory Friday night.

Karate kids make the grade

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

JION International Karate Dojo’s students impressed at their grading sessions at the Tinwald Memorial Hall over the weekend with all 51 candidates making the step up to their next grade.

Three of the Dojo’s youth

group, Chrizia Cayanan, Carl Cayanan and Era Santos, gained a pass with distinction in their 7kyu orange belt grading.

After the Kyu grades were completed, there was a 90 minute training seminar with external examiner Sensei Dieter Steinegg from Christchurch,

alongside Sensei Thorsten Windhorst – who also observed the club’s two dan grading candidates.

Leanne Walsh successfully progressed to first junior dan (first junior black belt) and Jessica Windhorst to third junior dan.

Jessica also performed her

grading to first dan in the senior grade.

The black belt duo received their awards from Sensei Steinegg following a gruelling two hour examination on Sunday afternoon.

Sensei Steinegg credited Walsh and Windhorst for their ‘superb grading’.

Lillyman gets the nod for Origin II

BY ED JACKSON Queensland have named Jacob Lillyman for next week’s State of Origin game two after Nate Myles was ruled out with a knee injury.

Myles picked up the injury during Sunday’s NRL clash between Manly and Penrith and is expected to undergo surgery.

Myles’ omission for Lillyman is the only change to the

Queensland team that beat NSW in the series opener in Sydney last month.

That 6-4 win was Myles’ 30th appearance for the Maroons.

Queensland coach Kevin Walters says Lillyman was the obvious choice to replace Myles.

“He was unlucky to miss out after his performance in game three last year,” Walters said of the big Warriors forward.

“We like to reward those

Dan Carter still a sharpshooter P16

who’ve done the job before in the jersey.”

Walters said it was unknown at this stage whether Lillyman will directly replace Myles in the starting lineup or if one of his forward options on the bench will get promoted.

Queensland are also sweating on the fitness of the North Queensland quartet Michael Morgan, Justin O’Neill, Johnathan Thurston and Matt Scott,

who faced Cronulla last night in the final NRL fixture of round 14.

Queensland: Darius Boyd, Dane Gagai, Greg Inglis, Justin O’Neill, Corey Oates, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith (capt), Jacob Lillyman, Matt Gillett, Sam Thaiday, Corey Parker. Int: Michael Morgan, Josh Papalii, Aidan Guerra, Josh McGuire.

Australia’s back-row uncertainty in the wake of David Pocock’s injury means the stage is well and truly set for emerging English superstar Maro Itoje to make his mark on world rugby. The 21-year-old was one of England’s best in the 39-28 first Test win over the Wallabies, and the talented Saracens lock now looms as one of the key players of the Cook Cup series after Pocock was ruled out for six weeks with a fractured eye socket.

Rosberg an unhappy man In the first lap of the Canadian GP, series leader Nico Rosberg got alongside Lewis Hamilton, who made another sluggish start, but he refused to yield as they fought for the tight space and their wheels banged and forced the title leader onto the grass. The collision proved a huge setback for Rosberg who dropped to 10th with Hamilton staying second.

Rosberg admitted he was angry at the time, but added: “That’s racing.

Sebastian had a great start, I had a decent one, Lewis had a slow one.”
