Call for rethink on rural mental health

BY NADINE PORTER

NADINE.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Historic tie in Rosebowl P24

Labour is calling for an urgent rethink of strategy around rural mental health funding and wants the Minister of Health to listen to escalating concerns about rural women struggling to cope with the dairy downturn.

Health spokesperson Annette King said rural women should not be the last cab off the rank because if their mental health breaks down, it has a wider effect on their family and their community.

“This is the time to rethink the strategy and look at the most appropriate place to put funding. Don’t wait until we have a crisis and say we should have

done something about it and listen up to what’s being said.”

Ms King said while $500,000 was granted by Government to help the rural community around mental health at the beginning of the dairy downturn, the situation had deteriorated further and the original strategy no longer fitted the looming crisis in rural communities.

“They just muck around at times when some positive forward action could save a lot of heartache . . . like the mental health row over the people of Christchurch after the earthquakes. It’s five years on but the minster is only listening now.”

Forecasts say the downturn isn’t going to get better over the next one to two

years, she said, with some commentators warning this will have an impact of catastrophic proportions on rural communities.

Ms King said women in particular need some added help.

“The women will be looking after everyone else – making sure the kids are alright and making sure their husbands are coping. What would probably work is some support funding into a relevant group like the Dairy Women’s Network.”

Dragon boat crews enjoy smooth ride on Lake Hood

BY RUBY HARFIELD

RUBY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Hundreds of people gathered at Lake Hood on Saturday for the South Island Dragon Boat Championships.

Nineteen teams from around the South Island, none from Ashburton, took part in the event which had 200m,

500m and 2km races.

One Wellington team also entered because they needed to have competed in a qualifying regatta before nationals.

New Zealand Dragon Boat Association chairman Noel Anderton said the event went very smoothly with no wind and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Lake Hood is a great place for a regatta because the water sport clubs are very helpful and it is a nice open lake, he said.

“It was a great day’s racing.”

The grand champions of the open adult grade were Tu Meke from Christchurch who won the 200m, 500m

and 2km races.

This was the first South Island dragon boat event for the year and hundreds of people lined the lake to support the crews.

The New Zealand National Dragon Boat Championships will be held at Lake Hood this weekend.

No hosing ban reaps water reward

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The final numbers might not be in but the Ashburton District Council is already heralding its non-hosing restriction summer a success.

In order to get a clear picture of the amount of water used when residents turned on their garden hoses, mayor Angus McKay decided he wanted to have a summer where watering was by dis-

cretion rather than regulation.

He wanted a decent stock of data on water consumption to allow decisions to be made in the future that were based on fact and were not kneejerk reactions to spikes in consumption.

The council needed good data before it rewrote its water policy, Mr McKay said.

The ban-free summer came as a reaction to the council’s open spaces team asking for a hos-

ing ban dispensation so it could keep the town’s parks and gardens flourishing all summer.

That request was rejected by most district councillors who said if hosing restrictions were imposed on residents they should be imposed on the council too.

Running through a summer without restrictions would give the council valuable data, Mr McKay said.

Educating people in the rural sector on effective water use had worked well and it would work in town too, he said.

And when the council looked at consumption data over the summer months, figures showed that across town residents had not used the lack of restrictions as an excuse for unlimited garden watering.

The council’s permit allows it to use up to 20,000 litres a day

but even at peak consumption this summer the highest level reached was 19,000.

In the past the council has introduced hosing restrictions earlier than needed but this summer it made it clear restrictions would only be enforced if something went wrong with the town water supply.

The council will undertake a full review of restrictions around water restrictions next month.

New rules sink community pools

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Rural communities around Ashburton are fearing for the future of their community pools when new health and safety legislation comes into effect next month.

Those pools are sited on reserve board land owned by the Ashburton District Council and that could place responsibility for the safety of each pool squarely on the council’s shoulders. New, tough rules around health and safety could also put in jeopardy the key-holder scheme that allows six school pools to be open to the public outside school hours.

And that is forcing the council to review all of the swimming pools on council land and to develop a community pool policy encompassing health and safety issues.

Pools at Hinds, Ruapuna, Rakaia, Mayfield and Mt Somers are affected. The Tinwald Pool is also on reserve land but it is run by the EA Networks Centre, which is a council owned facility.

Hinds resident Jo Luxton is past president of the village’s citizens’ association and she knows how highly her community values its local pool.

“It’s an asset to the community

and I’d hate to see it go, but it’s run by a tiny group of people who’re all volunteers and who look after things like the pool’s chlorination,” she said.

She believes it would be impossible for a community to run a pool where it had to have paid lifeguards on duty whenever it was open.

Like most community pools, Hinds runs on a key sale system each summer.

It’s the same at Rakaia.

District councillor Ken Cutforth says his local pool would struggle if it had to have trained lifeguards on board.

“Right now they have keys and parents sit there to supervise and keep an eye on behaviour,” he said.

Rakaia School also has a pool that is well used during holidays and weekends through a key system.

He believes that informal use of school pools might also be under threat when the new health and safety rules come into play.

“This whole thing is gutting, it’s bloody ridiculous.”

While lifeguards could be trained at the EA Networks Centre pool, it would be a huge struggle for small communities to pay to

Perfect weather pulls crowds to Mayfield show

By RuBy HaRfield

ruby.h@theguardian.co.nz

Perfect weather, large crowds and wonderful entries made for a successful Mayfield A&P Show on Saturday.

Mayfield A&P Association president Martin Fleming said the event was better than he could have hoped and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

“It was a won-

derful show, great weather, good support from the public.”

Perfect weather helped draw crowds of potentially nearly 3000, he said. “To have the weather like that was just a major thing, we were up in our gate takings.”

The main emphasis for the committee is making it a family show and there were lots of things the children could do including bike hires, scavenger hunt, Ferris

wheel and an animal tent.

“It was just fantastic to see the kids having so much fun.”

The pig racing and craft site were also a big hit. This year the association changed the area for the craft site and village green and had a new dog trial area, all of which were impressive, Mr Fleming said.

Below: Getting into the farming spirit were (from left) Fanny Fay, Betty Lou, Mary Allen and Susie Lou.

have trained staff on duty, he said.

The reach of changing legislation would go much further than pools and the council, he said and could strike at the heart of all small communities who relied on volunteer input for work on community facilities.

“Will it mean it we go out to paint a community centre we have to have scaffolding? We used to just turn up with ladders and a paintbrush and get the job done.

Can we do this now?”

Commonsense has gone out the window, he said.

“This sort of thing is penalising small communities.”

Two dead after water incidents Two people are dead and one was fighting for his life yesterday after three separate water-related incidences over the weekend.

A 47-year-old man died after a diving accident off Mathesons Bay beach at Leigh, near Warkworth, at 11am yesterday.

He was unresponsive when pulled from the water and died at the scene shortly after.

Police said the dead man held a current dive licence and took part in a safety briefing held before the dive.

The tragedy comes a week after two men died off Great Barrier Island who were thought to be freediving at night.

Another person died Saturday after a boating trip ended in tragedy. A 63-year-old man drowned when the 5.8m alloy pontoon boat he was on flipped in the water north of Napier. His boating companion survived but was flown to hospital with hypothermia.

The two men were checking crayfish pots.

An 18-month toddler is fighting for his life after being rescued after he fell from a wharf in the Hauraki Gulf.

■ DIVERSITY ASHBURTON

In brief

Youth focus on diversity

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An Ashburton group has been launched with the aim of starting a conversation about diversity and identity.

The brainchild of 17-year-old Mount Hutt College student Ethyn Sturm, Diversity Ashburton offers a space for people to share ideas and talk about individuality and what it means to the youth of today.

With no similar groups in the district, Ethyn believed something needed to fill the gap and so in January, launched the organisation.

“There was something missing for youth [in terms of ] group feel and discussion about identity and who we are as people,” he asid.

Focusing not only on being an individual, the group caters to all realms of diversity - be in gender identity, religion or culture.

The group meets on the second Thursday of each month and each meeting has its own theme.

Last week the group focused on the topic of gender identity.

While numbers are small now, Ethyn said the group hopes to work with guest speakers and reach out to a wider audience.

There are also plans to speak to guidance counsellors and school

Ashburton GPs are supporting the move from traditional triennial cervical screening to an HPV test every five years.

Health Minister Jonathan Coleman has announced the standard cervical screening test would move to a human papillomavirus (HPV) screen every five years.

The HPV test is a new way of testing the cell sample and detects over 90 per cent of human papillomavirus, the major cause of cervical cancers.

Eagle-eyed Wellingtonian plane spotters would have noted an arrival with a difference in the capital this weekend. An Iranian Airbus A340 touched down at the city’s airport Saturday and is parked on the tarmac until its departure today. Emblazoned with “Islamic Republic of Iran” among its livery, the jet stands out from the usual domestic and transTasman comings and goings.

Wellington Airport spokesman Greg Thomas said the plane brought the Iranian Foreign Minister’s delegation to Wellington.

The minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, is in New Zealand for a whistle-stop visit that includes meetings with Foreign Minister Murray McCully and Prime Minister John Key. - NZME

Ethyn Sturm assemblies around the district.

The group has also been in touch with Rainbow Youth, an organisation dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and questioning (LGBTIQ) youth and Ashburton’s Hype Youth Centre.

Having never done anything

similar, Ethyn said it was a challenge to manage his schooling and the group but has made it work through sheer determination and passion.

“I am really excited, I am really passionate about the cause so that is what has driven me in wanting to create something like

this,” he said.

Now the group is spending its time developing a web presence and hopes to launch a website in the near future.

GPs support new cervical screening plan

BY CAITLIN PORTER

Iranians in town

Changing the test was expected to further reduce cervical cancer deaths by 16 per cent in unvaccinated women and 12 per cent in vaccinated women.

While a women’s cervical smear appointment will not change, the new tests means that from 2018 women only need to get tested once every five years.

Ashburton GP spokesman Dr Mick Tarry thought the change was “exciting” for a number of reasons.

Not only will women require less frequent screening, unless

they test positive, but because the process will be automated there will be a reduction in human error, he said.

In the future there was even the possibility of self-administered HPV tests which will make the test even more accessible, he said.

However, Dr Tarry said it was still important for women not to forget that despite a normal HPV/smear test and having had a vaccination, check-ups were important.

Things such as abnormal vagi-

nal discharge, bleeding between periods or after sexual intercourse can be symptoms of other important conditions including chlamydia infections and other rare gynaelogicial cancers.

Young women should also take advantage of the free HPV vaccination, and young men should consider getting vaccinated too, he said.

Moore Street Medical locum GP Dr Dale Abbott said he believed the HPV vaccine should be free for men and women, to stop the transmission.

Family of MH370 passenger sues The family of Perth man Paul Weeks, a passenger on Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, is suing the airline for damages, lodging their claims just days before the statute of limitations was reached.

Five writs were lodged in the Supreme Court of WA in Australia seeking damages for the “sudden shock” and “mental harm” Mr Weeks’ family suffered after his death.

The writs were lodged on March 4, Perth’s Sunday Times reported, four days before the two year anniversary of the flights’ mystery disappearance. The statute of limitations requires legal action within two years of an event.

Mr Weeks’ wife Danica, New Zealand-based sister Sara, brother Peter and mother Prudence Tomblin are each suing the airline independently.

The Ashburton District Council might be doing the right thing in surveying its roadsides to identify rare native plant species, but it needs a workable plan in place to deal with any sites identified, says councillor Darryl Nelson.

Last week’s council service delivery meeting heard that a high plains roadside survey had been completed as part of the district’s overall drylands vegetation survey. Completing the survey was one thing, it was what came next that was the concern, Mr Nelson said.

“Are we going to get farmers to fence off these areas or stop farmers mowing their roadsides?”

As part of the survey process, the consultant carrying out the work spoke with a landowner if plants of significance were found on their roadside, councillor Alan Totty said.

The council puts markers alongside plants to make people aware that care was needed when using that piece of roadside, but only one area had been identified as needing to be fenced off, Mr Totty said.

Mental health rethink

Colin Arnst’s garage doubles as a bike repairs workshop following the closure of Ashburton’s Avanti cycle shop.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 110316-AK-004

Cycling and bikes in Colin’s blood

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

For 20 years, cycling, the Avanti brand, and the name Colin Arnst have gone hand-in-hand in Ashburton.

Cycling was in Mr Arnst’s blood - his grandfather owned a cycle shop, and his great uncle Dick was a world champion rower and track cyclist.

He never caught the competitive cycling bug; instead he made a living from it, just like his grandfather did.

Almost 20 years ago, Mr Arnst and his wife Norma brought Avanti cycles to town. He had owned, or worked in, the shop ever since and when it closed its doors for the final time recently, Mr Arnst was still there.

It was a job he loved until the end.

For him, the recreational cyclist was his best customer. His focus was on families; selling bikes to mums, dads and their children, and as time went on, the next generation of families.

He put bikes together, sold them and repaired them. Everything he did was self-taught, and he reckons there wasn’t much that could beat him.

As time went on, bikes changed, and so did the repairs they required. Mr Arnst kept up with the changing face of cycling and reckons the technological advances actually made the repair side easier, although not all technological advances in the sport were winners.

“I remember Avanti releasing their latest edition of the Black Thunder. It was the bike to have, an entry level mountain bike and

“

As a town to live in, Ashburton would leave Timaru for dead

it was revolutionary, and they came out with this 24 speed and people thought, geez, how can you have 24 speeds,” Mr Arnst said.

“Now it’s totally gone the other way, and the better mountain bikes only have two sprockets at the front.”

Mr Arnst left school when he was 15 – in 1965 – to work at Tucker Sports. He remained there until it was bought out by Smiths City, and then became the manager of Timaru’s first Smiths City store, before having a crack at real estate.

“Then we bought a book shop for Norma in Timaru, and we sold that thinking we were going to get a bigger book shop, and that didn’t happen, so we thought what are we going to do now?” Mr Arnst said.

Temuka’s cycle and sports shop was for sale, so they brought that.

That’s when the Arnsts’ long association with well-known cycle brand Avanti started.

Avanti wasn’t in Ashburton at the time and the Arnsts were keen to move back to their home town, so they decided to bring Avanti to Ashburton – their home town.

“As a town to live in, Ashburton would leave Timaru for dead,” Mr Arnst said.

- Colin Arnst

Ashburton’s first Avanti shop was in Tancred Street, before moving to a shop beside Ashburton’s post office, then to East Street, and eventually to the Mitre 10 complex, where Ashburton’s Avanti story finished.

Along the way came Donna and Steve Mealings, the owners of Ashburton’s Frontrunner shop.

They offered to buy the business, so the Arnsts sold.

“Then they made the offer that I stay on because they didn’t have the expertise on the bike side, and they said I could stay on until I retired if I wanted to,” Mr Arnst said.

So for the past few years, Mr Arnst has still been the face of Avanti Ashburton, but not the owner.

“They were good to work for, they really were.”

It may be a little early to say Mr Arnst is retired though. Demand from customers means he’s now set up a repair workshop in his garage at home.

He brought some of the plant from the Mealings when the shop closed, but now he’s working his hours.

Any work he does is by appointment only; he’s got family to spend time with, bowls to be played, and fish to be caught as well.

From P1 Dairy Women’s Network chief executive officer Zelda de Villiers said the network relied on volunteers to run event days where women can get together and share their stories but this was proving difficult in the current climate as more women worked off farm or for longer periods on farm to alleviate financial stress.

She said the network could “look into” helping the situation if it had funding to do so.

“But we are a very small nonprofit group reliant on funding.

In tough times our funding goes down. It’s not just about knowing what needs to be done but having the funding to do it.”

Ms de Villiers said the dairy industry was “often focused” on men’s wellbeing.

“And that is true that men bear the burden and often don’t talk about these things but the buck stops with women when they are isolated on the farm.

Who’s helping them?”

Farming Mums NZ Facebook

facilitator Chanelle O’Sullivan said while there had been a “much needed” emphasis on men struggling with depression she believed rural women had been forgotten about.

“People don’t realise how dire the situation is and how many people are on edge.”

She has been dealing with a myriad of social and mental health issues from women on the 6000 strong member page due to the downturn including women struggling with loss of income, jobs and the stress of supporting their families and partners.

Mrs O’Sullivan has been so inundated with women seeking support, she has been contemplating raising money to hire a full time counsellor.

Minister of Health Jonathan Coleman declined to comment because he was attending Martin Crowe’s funeral on Friday and did not respond to Labour’s call for a rethink of the rural mental health strategy at the weekend.

New laws sink pools Ruby Harfield

REPORTER

N

ew health and safety legislation will affect Mid Canterbury in many ways when it comes into law next month.

The Health and Safety at Work Act will come into force on April 4 and is part of “Working Safer: a blueprint for health and safety at work”.

The Act aims to reform the country’s health and safety system following recommendations from the Independent Taskforce on Workplace Health and Safety.

While it has been created to make our society safer, it will cause all sorts of problems.

The new law will affect schools, businesses, farms, organisations and small community groups in all sorts of ways; many of which don’t have the money or time to go through all the paperwork.

One aspect of our community that will be majorly affected, and which is already declining, is our community pools.

The Ashburton District Council owns many of these pools, including Hinds, Ruapuna, Rakaia, Mayfield and Mt Somers.

Once the law is in place it will be the council’s responsibility to ensure these new, and tough, health and safety measures enforced at each pool.

Because of this, council is now in the process of developing a community pool policy and part of this could mean trained lifeguards have to be on duty at all times the pools are open.

This has upset many communities who heavily use their pools, as most of them are run by small groups of volunteers and cannot afford lifeguards.

This will also stop the pools being able to have key holder schemes, which many rely on to fund themselves.

Children are the biggest users of most of these pools and they are already missing out on valuable swimming time with the decline of school pools.

We live in a country surrounded by water and children need to be confident swimmers.

Some principals have recently expressed concern over the lack of learning to swim opportunities in Mid Canterbury due to the cost of maintaining a school pool being too high.

Now, if the community pools close, the children really will not have many options to learn to swim.

While health and safety should be of the utmost important in society, especially for children, we need to be able to make the legislation work for our community.

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

G

iving children the best start to life and supporting them throughout their youth to achieve at school and live full lives is a focus of our Government.

While many developed countries around the world are freezing or even reducing health funding, we are investing around $400 million extra each year in public health services.

This year our health budget will reach a record $15.9 billion.

It is an important part of our plan to deliver better care for families.

The extension to under 13s is benefiting over 750,000 children and their families.

Uptake exceeded expectations with 98 per cent of general practices now participating in the scheme.

B4 School health checks The B4 School Check helps give children the best start at school by identifying and addressing any potential health or developmental problems at an early stage.

In 2014/15 the programme reached a record 92 per cent, that’s over 58,000 pre-schoolers across the country - the highest rate since the programme began back in 2008.

Figures for 2015/16 are already tracking ahead of last year’s, and we’re seeing continued progress in reaching out to families in high deprivation areas.

Free GP visits

Reducing childhood obesity

In Budget 2014 the Government committed $90m over three years to extend the current zero-fees scheme for GP visits and prescriptions for children under six years to children up to the age of 13.

Tackling obesity is a key area the Government is focused on.

Being overweight or obese is expected to overtake tobacco as the leading preventable risk to health in New Zealand within the next 12 months.

The Childhood Obesity Plan includes improved public information and resources, increasing physical activity, some of which will be done in education settings, actions for the health sector, and the food and beverage industry.

We are now one of the first OECD countries to have a target and a comprehensive plan to tackle childhood obesity.

At the core of the plan is a new childhood obesity health target of 95 per cent of children identified as obese in the B4 School Check being referred to an appropriate health professional for clinical assessment and family based nutrition, activity and lifestyle interventions by December 2017.

Of the 58,000 children who had B4 School Checks in the 2014/15 year, over 1400 were referred on for obesity related support. With this new target we expect that will treble to over 4000 a year by December 2017.

Rheumatic fever The Government has invested more than $65m on a range of initiatives to prevent rheumatic fever and it is working.

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Have you returned your vote on the flag referendum?

Yes 89%

incidence areas include targeted sore throat drop-in clinics, school based services, healthy homes initiatives, and Pacific engagement services.

Rheumatic fever rates are trending down. The latest national figures show a 45 per cent decrease in first episode rheumatic fever hospitalisations since 2012.

Rates for Maori have more than halved since 2012 and there has also been a drop of 27 per cent for Pacific people.

All of the initiatives I have discussed above are about delivering better health outcomes for Kiwi families.

Immunisation New Zealand’s infant immunisation rate has improved dramatically. The 93 per cent immunisation coverage for eightmonth-olds is the highest ever level of coverage for any immunisation health target.

In addition, there’s been especially good progress in the immunisation rate amongst Maori – in over half of our 20 district health boards, the immunisation rate for Maori is equal to or higher than that of New Zealanders of European descent.

No 11%

■ UNITED STATES LeBlanc revs up London Top Gear host Matt LeBlanc has been joined by professional rally driver Ken Block for a trip around the streets of London in a Ford Mustang. The duo surprised a bride and groom and their wedding guests at St Paul’s Cathedral as they motored past, with LeBlanc sticking his arm out of the car window to wave. Their tour of the capital in Block’s 4WD Hoonicorn Mustang took them over London’s Tower Bridge, where they snapped a picture using a selfie stick.

LeBlanc is apparently still unfamiliar with London. He was pictured clutching a guide book to London. Filming for the Top Gear reboot is well under way, as the new series of the BBC Two show is due to air in Britain in May. A seven-strong line-up includes LeBlanc, radio DJ and presenter Chris Evans, and Top Gear stalwart The Stig.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally in Vandalia, Ohio, outside of Dayton, at the weekend.

PHOTO AP

New disturbance at rally Secret Service agents rushed on stage to protect US Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump during a disturbance at a rally, a day after rowdy protests shut down his event in Chicago.

Trump briefly ducked at the podium and four Secret Service agents scrambled to surround him after a man charged the stage at Dayton International Airport in Ohio on Saturday.

Agents then grabbed the man, dressed in a black tee shirt and jeans, and hauled him away.

His motivation was not immediately clear, and Trump went on to finish his speech, but the incident further increased tension after Trump’s Chicago rally was abandoned amid chaotic scenes on Friday.

Disruptions at a rally on Saturday afternoon in Cleveland were quickly contained as Trump blamed them on Democratic candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

Several hundred protesters were awaiting Trump’s arrival at an evening event in Kansas City.

Trump’s Republican rivals have hurled scorn at the New York billionaire, saying he helped create the nervous atmosphere that is now sweeping the race for the White House with his fiery rhetoric.

Trump blamed Sanders supporters for the incidents in Chicago, where scuffles broke out between protesters and backers of the real estate magnate. He called the US senator from Vermont “our communist friend”.

The scenes in Chicago follow a series of recent incidents of violence at Trump rallies, in which protesters and journalists have been punched, tackled and hustled out of venues, raising concerns about degrading security leading into the November 8 election.

“All of a sudden a planned attack just came out of nowhere,” Trump said in Day-

ton, describing the events in Chicago. He called the protest leaders there “professional people”.

Sanders hit back, describing Trump as “a candidate that has promoted hatred and division”.

President Barack Obama told a fundraising event in Dallas, Texas, that political leaders “should be trying to bring us together and not turning us against one another”.

Republican candidate US Senator Marco Rubio bemoaned the state of the presidential race, saying it had “become reality television”.

“Last night in Chicago, we saw images that make America look like a Third World country,” Rubio said, reminding supporters the stakes on Tuesday are high.

“If Donald Trump is our nominee, it will fracture the Republican Party,” Rubio added.

Victoria Beckham

Fashion empire bailed out David Beckham has reportedly bailed out his wife Victoria Beckham’s fashion empire after her high-end designer brand lost £3.8 million ($NZ8 million) in just one year.

Victoria opened her new £3 million shop in London’s posh Mayfair in 2014, with the luxurious high-end store including a VIP area and artwork by British designer Damien Hirst adorning the walls. However, after an apparently disappointing few months for the ex-Spice Girl, her husband David is said to have stepped in to help, giving her £5.2 million ($NZ11 million) to push through the difficult time. Reports of a tough financial year are in sharp contrast to 2014, in which Victoria’s fashion brand - which includes her couture and ready-to-wear collections made a turnover of £34 million. - WENN

Germanwings pilot’s doctors won’t talk Doctors who treated Germanwings pilot Andreas Lubitz for depression and mental illness before he killed 150 people by crashing into the Alps last year refused to speak with French investigators.

The French investigators told relatives at a meeting in Barcelona that the German doctors were not required to talk about Lubitz’s medical conditions under German privacy laws and they didn’t, even though the 27-year-old also died in the March 24, 2015 plane crash.

The experts from France’s BEA crash investigation agency did obtain detailed German medical records about Lubitz but “they emphasised that the doctors, those who treated him, refused to give any information,” said Robert Tansill Oliver, who attended the Germanwings relatives’ meeting.

The French investigators told the relatives that one of their safety recommendations would be a requirement that doctors provide authorities with information about pilots’ mental health issues.

The BEA declined to comment at the weekend on the closed-door meetings with relatives, who were shown a slide show but given no written materials.

The meetings in Barcelona and Bonn briefed the victims’ relatives about a BEA report being released yesterday that is expected to make recommendations to help aviation agencies and airlines around the world prevent similar crashes.

Most of the victims of Flight 9525 from Barcelona to Duesseldorf were from Spain and Germany.

Germanwings and Lufthansa have strongly denied any wrongdoing in the

crash, insisting that the co-pilot was certified fit to fly.

In the months before the crash, Lubitz visited 41 doctors, and none warned his employer or authorities that Lubitz might be too ill to fly.

Germany’s confidentiality laws prevent sensitive personal information from being widely shared, although the law allows doctors to suspend patient privacy if they believe there is a danger to the person’s safety or that of others.

Investigators say Lubitz deliberately crashed the plane into a French mountainside.

He had previously been treated for depression and suicidal tendencies and documents seized by prosecutors show he partly hid his medical history from employers.

The US superstar descended onto the Rod Laver Arena stage in Melbourne in a cage for her first Australian show for her Rebel Heart tour, joining a tightly choreographed team of dancers, which included nuns in habits and hot pants pole dancing on crucifixes.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said that law enforcers were already investigating how meldonium had got into the bodies of Russian skaters.

Newbies hit the lake

By James Ford

Ashburton Rowing Club’s ‘Have a Go Day’ proved a resounding success in fine weather at Lake Hood yesterday.

Twenty-three newbies took to

the water with two novice and two experienced rowers in each boat.

Rowing club president Justin Wall said the newcomers were enthusiastic and enjoyed their time on the water.

“We invited a lot of them to come and experience the regatta last weekend, to see what it involves,” he said.

“We’ve invited them to join us at the next two big regattas as well (the South Island Second-

ary School Championships and Maadi Cup) and everyone enjoyed it.”

Wall said the club will host another ‘Have a Go Day’ on Sunday, April 17, a week after the Maadi Cup ends.

England closing in on grand slam title England have survived a terrific late Welsh surge to put one hand on their first Six Nations title for five years as an Anthony Watson try and 20 points for Owen Farrell helped them beat Wales 25-21 at Twickenham yesterday.

The win sends Eddie Jones’ team into their final game in France on course for a first grand slam since 2003.

England’s massive points advantage over France, who visit Scotland overnight, means even a heavy defeat in Paris would be unlikely to deprive them of the ti-

tle following four successive second place finishes under Stuart Lancaster.

With Wales due to host Italy in their final match, yesterday’s Twickenham showdown was effectively a title decider - not to mention a chance for some sort of England revenge for their World Cup defeat in September.

Yet it was one way traffic from the start as Watson’s try and four penalties had them 19-0 ahead 15 minutes into the second period as Wales barely got out of their own half.

A chargedown try by Dan Biggar got the visitors on the board but England still looked comfortable until Wales burst into life with late tries by George North and Taulupe Faletau to revive memories of their stunning World Cup comeback - but this time England held out.

Meanwhile Ireland became the latest team to hand Italy a beating in the Six Nations, winning 58-15 in Dublin yesterday to earn a first victory in its disappointing title defence.

The Irish scored nine tries with

No. 8 Jamie Heaslip grabbing two of them.

Andrew Trimble, Jack McGrath, CJ Stander, Jared Payne, Sean Cronin, Ian Madigan and Fergus McFadden also crossed for Ireland, which started the Six Nations competition with three straight losses.

Italy has conceded a total of 134 points in consecutive defeats to England, Scotland and Ireland at a time when some are questioning whether the team deserves its guaranteed place in the Six Nations.

In brief Chiefs crush Kings There are few better ways to rebound from a shock defeat at home than to post 50 points on the road.

The Chiefs yesterday bounced back from last week’s loss to the Lions by scoring seven tries against the Kings in their most dangerous display of the season, although they were given a helping hand from the home side. Both teams committed more errors than they would have liked at Mandela Stadium, but the Chiefs’ ability to capitalise on their opponents’ miscues proved to be the difference. Dave Rennie’s men continued a pattern established in the early rounds by crossing the tryline from the first phase of attacks, moving the ball with purpose and a plan to earn their first bonus point of the season.

Sharks edge Stormers

Flying start for green machine

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Celtic dusted off the pre-season cobwebs to deal Mackenzie Country a 44-0 hiding and lift the

Mick Casey Memorial Trophy at the Celtic grounds on Saturday.

In a game played over four 20 minute quarters, Celtic’s defence proved impenetrable, while their

own forays into enemy territory invariably produced points.

Hampstead were also in preseason action on Saturday, locking horns with Timaru Old Boys,

but fell to a tightly contested 1412 defeat in Timaru.

Meanwhile, Southern took on Christchurch Old Boys yesterday and lost 40-10.

Lions mauled by electrifying Highlanders

By GreGor Paul It’s a safe enough bet the Highlanders are going to mount a credible defence of their title.

More than that, they are on track to mount a compelling defence.

They were too good for a strong Lions team 34-15 in Dunedin on Saturday night, possessing too much pace, vision and ability to counter attack.

That was the difference, really.

The Highlanders were able to blast into life when no one expected it.

They were able to be patient and disciplined on defence, force a mistake and then put together these stunning passages that brought points.

They had a 10-minute spell after the break when they gave a master-class in opportunism and clinical finishing.

Firstly Ben and Aaron Smith combined with a quick lineout that left the former clear with 80m to cover. Then Matt Faddes plucked an intercept and took off

It wasn’t the win they were desperately seeking but interim Queensland Reds coach Nick Stiles said it was a step in the right direction. In their first game since the sacking of coach Richard Graham, the Reds fell 25-23 but could have left AAMI Park with the competition points after threatening the Melbourne Rebels line in the dying minutes. They trailed 16-0 midway through the first half but showed the pride and determination missing from their first two Super Rugby games to give themselves a chance. - AAP

to the corner and that was the Lions sunk.

For good measure, Malakai Fekitoa got on the end of a Gareth Evans break that was launched inside their own 22 after yet another turnover.

There may not be a better 10-minute period than that all season, certainly not one with equal deadliness.

It was harsh on the visitors, who had been right in it up until then, but it wasn’t reflective of the game - reflective because these lightning raids are what the Highlanders are all about.

If it was the Hurricanes’ party trick last year, it’s going to be the southerners’ in 2016.

The Highlanders were superb at flicking a switch and suddenly erupting to life.

They’d be defending, then turn the ball over and in a flash be at top speed making sharp passes with support runners appearing seemingly from nowhere.

It was counter-attacking rugby at its best, but it wasn’t all they offered.

Their scrum was a weapon, too, and that was without big Joe Wheeler for most of the game after he had to leave with concussion.

Dan Pryor did the work of three men at openside and the front row have to be acknowledged not just for Malaki scrummaging so well, but for also adding their weight and presence to the breakdown.

It was a classic team performance and, after a slowish start, the Highlanders are flowing again.

And what can’t get lost in this performance is that the Lions were stiff opposition no matter what the scoreboard says.

They were bang-in the game for 40 minutes showing why they are one of the tournament’s great transformation teams - not just from where they were a few years ago, but from where they were in the first round of this competition.

They opened with an ugly, dis-

jointed performance in Tokyo that had the look of the bad, old days about it, but in the last two weeks have been a totally different team.

They have advanced from the good foundation they set last year Fekitoa and found in Elton Jantjies a playmaker who has the confidence now as well as the skills to bring their game together.

The weird thing is they didn’t fall apart by any means - there was nothing they could do against such swift and smooth attacks.

They couldn’t scramble quickly enough once the Highlanders were in space.

No side in the competition could have.

Highlanders 34 (M. Faddes 2, B. Smith, M. Fekitoa tries; L. Sopoaga 4 cons, pens, dg); Lions 15 (R. Van Rensburg, R. Ackerman tries; E.Jantjies con, pen). Halftime: 10-3.

Sharks five-eighth Joe Pietersen has scored a try four minutes from fulltime to hand his side a tense 1813 victory over the Stormers in their clash at Newlands.

The Sharks maintained their unbeaten start to the season, but it was a first taste of defeat for new Stormers coach Robbie Fleck.

Brumbies team to beat Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham insists he’s not getting carried away just yet despite his team’s perfect start to the Super Rugby season.

Next up for the Brumbies is a tricky tour of South Africa, where they’ll take on the Stormers and Cheetahs. Larkham was pleased with his team’s gritty four-triesto-two win over the Force, but he knows there’s still plenty of room for improvement. “We’ve got some work to do. The set piece was better that last week’s, but we’ve got a long way to go in this competition.”

The five-strong team of Jennian Homes Ashburton swimmers produced a solid set of results at the Division II competition in Invercargill.

The meet began last Tuesday and the team returned to Mid Canterbury yesterday with an impressive medal haul.

Thirteen-year-old Courtney Elliott took out gold medals in the 13-year girls’ 200m and 400m freestyle races and also posted personal best times along with a national age-group (NAG) time in the 200m.

Fourteen-year-old Jared Scammell and 16-year-old Katelyn Hogg were also among the medals.

Hogg fought hard for a silver in the girls’ 16 to 18-year 200m butterfly, while Scammell recorded NAG times in the 50m and 100m freestyle events and 200m backstroke - receiving silver in the boys’ 14-year 200m backstroke and bronze in the boys’ 200m freestyle.

Scammell was also a part of the Canterbury regional relay

team that picked up gold medals in the 200m 13 to 14-year boys’ freestyle and medley events.

Andrew Peel was also in fine form, recording personal bests in all of his races over the week, while young Isabelle Wilson picked up some valuable experience amongst some stiff competition.

Matthew Griffin won a thrilling tournament on the last hole of the last day in Queenstown yesterday. $180,000 share of the $1 million prize purse.

Michael Hendry was the best placed New Zealander in a tie for third, finishing three places

ahead of fellow Kiwi Steven Alker.

Hendry carded a seven under par 65 to finish 14 under overall, but rued a slow start with two par 71 scores on the opening days.

“There are a lot of mistakes that I’m lamenting from Thursday and Friday,” said Hendry.

“Thursday’s round promised a lot early and was a little bit weak coming in, and then the beginning of Friday’s round was really poor too.

“Those 15 holes through the middle probably cost me a real good chance for the tournament unfortunately.”

Alker, who occupied third place at the start of the day, had to settle for sixth, having carded a two under par 70 to be 12 under.

The 44-year-old Hamiltonian opened with a birdie before two bogeys on the second and fourth holes.

Meanwhile, Ryan Fox, who arrived in Arrowtown as tournament favourite, finished in a tie for 11th after making six under par 66 to be 10 under overall.

In brief

■ AUCKLAND CUP

Trainer pulls off huge upset It may have been a Group One upset of epic proportions, but a main player behind the Ellerslie shock didn’t share the betting market’s pessimism.

The veteran El Soldado made it fourth time lucky in the Gr.1 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup on Saturday with a brave front-running performance that rocked punters with a whopping $125 winning dividend.

Breeder and trainer Phillip Devcich, who races the nineyear-old with his sister Christine and her husband Brent, gave his durable gelding a strong chance of victory.

“Definitely, he’s such a good stayer,” he said.

“This is the one we set him for and he peaked on the right day.

“We put the work into him and he travelled up here beautifully.”

El Soldado, who ran second in the 2013 cup behind Sangster, was partnered by Awapuni jockey Darryl Bradley who trekked north for the one mount.

“He rode him perfectly,” Devcich said. “I said to Darryl that he would outstay them and that’s what he’s done. To win a Group One is unbelievable.”

M4

Archie’s perfect result Northern Southland owner Archie Affleck made good on a pledge to his local club to have Mossdale Conner race at their March meeting and the six-year-old played his part by winning Saturday’s $40,000 feature at Ascot Park. Mossdale Conner made such a good beginning that he was up with the front markers within a hundred metres.

After a brief battle with Democrat Party, Mossdale Conner was in front after a thousand metres and successful driver Ricky May dictated from then on. “He’s good in front, he had to work to get there but he was going to be hard to beat after that,” May said. - HRNZ

Preferment promoted

Darryl Bradley keeps El Soldado going long enough to win the Auckland Cup on Saturday.

While Bradley may not have shared Devcich’s confidence, he carried out his instructions to the letter.

“To win a race like the Auckland Cup is a great honour and something I wasn’t expecting this morning,” he said.

The cup was devoid of any pace in the early stages before Bradley

decided enough was enough and made his move.

“He wasn’t happy in a slowly run race so I let him slide forward with a round to go,” he said.

“He had proved he could run the two miles and that gave me some hope.”

El Soldado revelled in his front-running role and he had

the chasing pack off the bit when he slipped clear on the turn and he stuck on grimly in the straight to beat Rose Of Virginia and the favourite Sacred Master.

“This is one race I never thought I could win – I’m so grateful, it’s beautiful,” Bradley said.

“Today we have had theatre” said champion Sydney trainer Chris Waller, and there was plenty of drama at Flemington after his Victoria Derby winner Preferment added to his group 1 tally by securing the Australian Cup on protest at Flemington. First past the post was outsider Awesome Rock ($26), who held on by a short half head to see off the determined challenge of the Hughie Bowman partnered Preferment ($7), with Rising Romance coming back to form to take third place at $9 under Craig Williams.

‘Keep the faith’

By HugH McgaHan There’s been a fair bit of teeth gnashing about the Warriors over the last week and many are pointing to a 10-game losing streak but that is unfair.

Last season isn’t relevant because so much has changed so it means the Warriors have lost their first two games of the season.

When you look at it that way, it’s not all doom and gloom and there’s no point hanging the coach out to dry.

It’s easy to jump on the Warriors because of their history and the fact they are the only NRL team in the country.

Everyone is lining up to have a crack at them.

The talk this week about the alleged “bro culture”, as Graham Lowe put it, probably helped them because it allowed them to use that to deflect attention away from the real issues of their first game.

The biggest problem is out wide defensively, and that is a cause for concern.

Both the Wests Tigers and Broncos found it too easy to find gaps out wide and didn’t really have to work hard to score.

There was some starch in the defence at times on Friday night but there were also some soft tries.

One thing that has surprised me is Roger Tuivasa-Sheck’s front-on defence and he’s so far resembled a revolving door.

There were also too many little mistakes that proved costly and not enough pressure applied on their kick chases.

Konrad Hurrell: Plenty to work on.

They really should have had a few repeat sets against the Broncos and that could have made all the difference.

But I still believe.

They have a good team.

What I saw on Friday against the Broncos was a big improvement on the week before against the Wests Tigers and they’re not that far off.

The were aggressive, hooker Issac Luke was more effective and probed more, halfback Jeff Robson played with control and kicking game was decent.

It was a good performance against an excellent Broncos outfit but, unfortunately, they couldn’t make it stick.

Shaun Johnson still doesn’t look right, though.

That spark we often see from him is missing and it looks like he is still finding his feet after last year’s injury.

Getting the ball in his hands the whole time, in the way Johnathan Thurston plays, is not the right approach for him.

He needs a halves partner to take some of the pressure off and that’s why Robson is a good foil.

As I said last week, I didn’t think he was a good buy when he was signed but I have been reasonably impressed so far and his presence should help Johnson, because he is still the person capable of turning everything around for the struggling Warriors.

It will be interesting to see what Andrew McFadden does with his backline against the Storm next week if both Manu Vatuvei and Blake Ayshford are out injured, with most agitating for Konrad Hurrell to get a callup.

If he doesn’t, that will be telling and prove the club have major doubts about him.

It would also highlight the folly of giving him a new four-year deal.

He’s clearly talented but has a lot of things he needs to work on.

Foran takes charge for new team Kieran Foran has celebrated his first game for Parramatta, with the Eels scoring a stirring 20-16 NRL upset win over an errorriddled North Queensland.

The Cowboys on Saturday night were a shadow of the side who lifted last year’s trophy, producing one of their worst performances in 12 months with an uncharacteristically jittery outing with the ball and ill-discipline in defence.

They completed just 63 per cent of their

sets, turned the ball over 10 times and gave away nine penalties.

A vocal crowd of 12,194 witnessed Foran’s first outing in club colours and, while he took more than an hour to take his first run with the ball, he finished strongly and played a hand in two of their three tries.

Up 14-6 at the break courtesy of a Kenny Edwards’ try - set up by Foran - on the stroke of halftime, the Cowboys’ Justin

O’Neill reduced the deficit to four off a Johnathan Thurston pass early in the second half.

But that was one of the rare times the Cowboys entered the Eels’ zone, with numerous attacking raids brought undone by a decisive and energetic Parramatta defence.

But the Eels’ defence held on, scoring what could well be a season-defining win.

Ashburton Guardian

14/3

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Anonymous acts of kindness are their own reward. People connect with you. Before this day is through you’ll have brought more than one person out of a funk.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re in an enviable position, which is why people are jealous. Many will flirt with you, and you’ll revel in the attention.

Introductions may lead to friendships or romance.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Someone close to you is struggling. You can help this person feel important.

You can help this person feel more in control of the circumstances. Your support will make a difference.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Perhaps you understand the way another person is feeling better than even he does! If you can put it into precise words you will be helping in a rare and beautiful way.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Do not underestimate the importance of ritual. It can keep you healthy. It can keep a relationship healthy. The special thing you do with another person will anchor your connection.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There’s a reason why someone you love has made it to your “favourite people” list, and today you’ll be reminded of why that person made it to that exclusive and small group!

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You don’t need symbols of success in order to feel good about yourself, but you’ll still enjoy today’s signs that you are growing richer and more powerful.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): No, it’s not in your imagination: Your little corner of the world is exceptionally hectic, unusual and oddly humorous now. You’ll be laughing at the improbability of this strange scene.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Once upon a time you did good in the world because it was the right thing to do. That was the only reason. That it happened to benefit you was just a bonus -- a bonus that keeps delivering, even today.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Analyse emotions and the facts separately. You’ll communicate at a very high level and the people around you will feel loved and appreciated because of this.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You don’t seek trouble, drama or any quality of special attention.

And yet – sorry! – you will get special attention today. It just comes with the territory of being you.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You don’t always feel like having company, regardless of who it is. In fact you will be extremely happy to spend a few hours by yourself today to clear your mind and get centred on what really matters to you.

Historic tie in Rosebowl thriller

BY JAMES FORD

If a positive advertisement for local senior cricket was ever needed, the Muirhead Rosebowl final’s thrilling climax at the Ashburton Domain Oval on Saturday certainly provided it.

Coldstream and Lauriston could not be separated, with the final ending in a tie and the coveted Rosebowl shared for the first time between the two deserving teams.

Lauriston won the toss and skip-

per Jeremy Duckmanton elected to field first as Coldstream’s openers failed to fire.

Ash Shah walked for nought after being run out by Bevan Ravenscroft, before Jay Houston was caught by Duckmanton off the bowling of Alex Hooper for seven.

Hooper junior then removed Sulekn Mehta (5) for his second wicket of the encounter.

Aftab Naika (2) was next to go, this time off the bowling of Ravenscroft, as things went from bad to

Dixon on the pace in Florida P16

worse at 5/38 and memories of last year’s 111-run final defeat crept in to the minds of the Coldstream faithful.

Jono Print (15) was the first Coldstream batsman to record double figures, but big brother Richard well and truly steadied the ship with another fine performance.

The older Print posted 94 off as many deliveries including eight fours and four sixes to keep Coldstream’s Rosebowl dreams alive, before eventually being dis-

missed by Duckmanton.

A wagging tail boosted the total with Brad Horrell (11) and Brent Ferguson (18) both making solid contributions as Coldstream were all out for 181 in 44.2 overs.

Alex Hooper was the best of the Lauriston bowlers with three for 17 off his nine overs in an excellent display with the ball.

Lauriston’s reply got off to an unconvincing start as openers Scott Morgan and Ravenscroft could only muster four each before being dismissed by Richard

Print and Deon Biggs respectively.

Bevan Richan ignited his side’s faltering innings, however, with a fine knock of 69.

Middlemen Ryan Cockburn (24) and Duckmanton (22) also made solid contributions as Lauriston closed in on the required 182.

Matt Pawsey eventually levelled proceedings with a two - leaving the Rosebowl’s fate down to the final ball and the spectators on the edge of the seats - but he was run out by Andrew Bennett for a unprecedented tie.
