INSIDE

Ashburton’s economic agency Grow Mid Canterbury is likely to have its funding lifeline cut after it was revealed, in a damning report to the Ashburton District Council, it was in serious financial difficulty.

The council commissioned an independent report on the economic agency because of growing concern over its inability to provide clear reports on its use of council funds.

It was also concerned about the range of related party transactions the organisation was involved in.

In his report Peter Winder described GMC as an organisation that had a “complex structure and quite confused governance”.

Several of the programmes it delivered could easily be delivered by other agencies and there were no clear measures to show where the council’s funds were spent and whether the council received good value for the ratepayer money it spent.

“It’s an organisation that’s in financial difficulty. The council’s decision now is should it continue to purchase services from this organisation?” Mr Winder said.

For the 2014/15 financial year the organisation showed a $187,000 loss and at the end of 2015 it had negative equity of $271,000. Its annual account was tagged with the auditor’s comments “… material uncertainty exists that may cause significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern …”

The council provides GMC with an

annual grant of $245,000, 44.4 per cent of its total funding, with the remainder coming from other contracts and government agencies.

He described the organisation’s relationship with the council as “unhealthy”.

While most economic development agencies had very simple structures, GMC was involved in a complex web of companies and related party transactions, Mr Winder said.

“This surprised me and there is obvious potential for conflicts of interest arising from these and that raises questions for the council over the probity and appropriateness of the way in which GMC operates.”

■ GROW MID CANTERBURY

Chairman hits back at report

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Grow Mid Canterbury board chairman Dave Dynes has hit back at a report that indicates his organisation is in financial strife.

The Ashburton District Council commissioned a report by independent consultant Peter Winder, to establish whether GMC was making wise use of its council grant of $245,000.

That report identified serious shortcomings in the organisations operation and highlighted that it made a $187,000 deficit in the last financial year.

That figure was incorrect, Mr Dynes said as $40,000 of this was due to an accounting charge.

“The loss itself was the result of a reduction in expected income because the CEO was unwell for four months, including two months in hospital and recovering from surgery.

“This has a dramatic effect on a small agency which only has four staff,” Mr Dynes said.

For several years GMC had warned the council of the increased volatility of its revenue and cash flow and it was unable to build up cash reserves because it was advised this would result in a reduction in council funding, he said.

He also challenged figures quoted for shares in the organisation’s Methven Hot Pools project.

The market value of those was $286,000 but in the report they were quoted at an ac-

counting figure of $16,405.

When it received the council’s service agreement payment that was due in January, the organisation would be in a positive position, Mr Dynes said.

The report also criticised the organisation’s structure as being overly complicated and that was accurate, he said.

This structure was created in an attempt to gain charitable status for some of its work and as it developed other companies, but the board planned to simplify this.

Until recently, he said, there had been little guidance from the council on the services it wanted GMC to provide, he said.

“The board does not accept there is a risk of the council not receiving the services it seeks from GMC as long as the council is clear on the services it seeks.”

He also disagreed with an accusation that GMC’s reporting process was not transparent.

It provided accounts that were more detailed than was usual for organisations of its kind, he said.

“Potential conflicts of interest are identified and disclosed, recorded and managed appropriately by the board and this has always been the case.”

The agency was comprehensively audited every year and there had never been any suggestion of impropriety or personal benefit by staff or board members, Mr Dynes said.

“We have seen what the dogs do for veterans overseas and met families who have them. The dogs are trained to do specific tasks for the veteran to assist them to live as normal a life as possible despite living with PTSD,” she said “Just the fact that the dog is with the veteran can have a calming influence and be very helpful.”

Poppy sellers will be out in force today raising money to support returned service personnel and their families.

For the first time the New Zealand Returned and Services Association (RSA) will use part of what is raised in this year’s Poppy Appeal funds to help train a disability assistance dog.

Veteran Dion Taka and his wife Frances are in line to be the first in New Zealand to take on a specially-trained dog to help support Dion, who suffers chronic pain and Post Traumatic Stress Disor-

Axe poised over Grow Mid Canty For the council it was impossible to determine what value it was getting for the money it granted the organisation and whether this was a cost-effective exercise.

The council had two courses of action it could take – it could continue working with GMC or it could terminate its relationship with the organisation and start again with a clean slate, using the money set

From P1 The focus on the Methven Hot Pools business case raised questions over whether the council funds had been used for the purpose for which they were intended over the past two to three years and that, along with its involvement in the NZ Dairy Careers company, were two key drivers of its difficult financial position, Mr Winder said.

Mr Winder recommended the council opt to start again. This would give it a clean slate and avoid the baggage of GMC and its financial issues.

The step, however, could also risk the financial collapse of GMC, Mr Winder said.

■ FONTERRA SEMINAR

Agricultural industry over-exposed

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

The New Zealand agricultural industry is over-geared with too much debt in the system and if producers want to be exposed less to volatility they need to do something about it, according to an experienced international banker.

Speaking at the Fonterra Farmers Grow Your Mind Seminar in Ashburton yesterday, former Cantabrian John McFarlane said the dairy industry needed to protect its low cost production systems.

“If we are honest about it we have been moving away from low to high cost systems.”

Mr McFarlane said New Zealand dairy producers could not rely on European farmers to decrease production just because they were operating in a high cost system.

Using the iron ore market as an example he said Chinese businesses were producing ore at $120 per tonne while their Australian counterparts did it for $40 per tonne.

“But Chinese producers are continuing to produce while Aussie iron ore producers are going bust. The reason is because the Chinese Government is supporting them. It’s not rocket science

International banker John McFarlane told Fonterra farmers the dairy industry needed to protect its low cost systems.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 140416-AK-013 so don’t rely on irrational people to do rational things.”

He urged the industry not to

misunderstand marginal costs.

“Be very wary when you hear the average cost of production

somewhere else is $7 per kilogram and therefore you think if you’re below the line you’re fine

because that can be a misdemeanour.”

The dairy industry had convinced itself three years ago when prices were high that it was a cyclical upturn in dairy markets when actually it was a structural one, he said.

At the time the Australian Government believed they were in a 30 year commodity cycle where prices would stay stronger for longer.

Transportation costs had worked against us, and then for us because of our nearness to China but with the dramatic decrease in shipping costs that was negated.

“You can export a tonne of iron ore from Brazil to Europe for $7. Global Shipping is so cheap today that you can hire a capesized tanker that carries 160,000 tonnes for $2800 per day.”

Chicago based Brian Rice, founder of brokerage firm Rice Dairy then urged dairy farmers to use hedging as a way of lowering the risks of volatile markets.

Mr Rice said hedging was the opposite of gambling and was a defensive action.

“The goal is to reduce the risk of losing money on the dairy farm … You have natural risks already.

If you don’t hedge you are kind of gambling.”

Councillors urged to ‘show a bit of gumption’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.N@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Councillor Stuart Wilson yesterday urged his fellow Ashburton District councillors to and vote to cut funding to struggling economic development organisation Grow Mid Canterbury.

Commenting on a damning report commissioned by the council and prepared by Peter Winder on the organisation’s performance, Mr Wilson said that report had achieved what the council had been unable to

achieve for about six years.

It spelled out the financial state of the organisation – a $187,000 loss last year, and revealed an intricate web of dealings and related party transactions.

The serious concerns raised meant the council had no option but to stop funding the organisation from June 30, he said.

“For us to continue to support this organisation will mean the public will really be questioning our capacity to continue running this district.

For goodness sake councillors,

show a bit of gumption for once.

Let them know where we stand, for goodness sake use your financial knowledge and get this over and done with.”

Mayor Angus McKay and councillors Donna Favel and Ken Cutforth also wanted a decision cutting ties and a fresh start to be made immediately.

Russell Ellis was more cautious, wanting staff to bring a report back to the May round of meetings and for a vote to be taken then, while Neil Brown wanted the council to continue working

with GMC rather than cutting its ties.

Mr Wilson was incensed by what he saw as some councillors taking a soft approach and buying time.

“Surely councillors you’re all of the same opinion. It’s time we cut our ties with this organisation. You’re just postponing this.

If you’re prepared to go to annual plan meetings and defend Grow Mid Canterbury, then good luck to you. You’ll have egg all over your faces.”

lis, Totty, Nelson, Nordqvist and Urquhart supported seeing a council report before making a decision.

Council chief executive Andrew Dalziel said his recommendation as part of the staff report would be based on what Mr Winder suggested.

“It’s clear that there are some governance issues. We have $240,000 set aside for economic development and it may take us a little more time now to decide how we’ll now spend that money,” he said.

■ MID CANTERBURY RIVERS

Spawning salmon decline

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Significantly fewer salmon have come home to spawn in Mid Canterbury’s braided rivers this season.

The population fluctuates quite significantly from year to year and it’s difficult to understand why, North Canterbury Fish & Game Council field officer Steve Terry said.

Fish & Game have been monitoring fish stocks by conducting aerial surveys of the headwaters of the braided rivers for the past 23 years.

This season a mere 587 fish were counted spawning in the Rakaia and Waimakariri rivers, which lie within the boundaries of the council’s North Canterbury catchment – about a third of the numbers expected in a normal year.

The surveyed fish were about three years old, but Mr Terry said there was no correlation

Police boarded an Air New Zealand flight from Auckland upon its arrival in Shanghai after a woman on board “nearly caused a riot” over her in-flight meal. TVNZ reporter Katie Bradford tweeted about the disturbance, joking the woman’s meltdown was the “definition of hangry”. “Police boarded my flight in Shanghai because a woman nearly caused a riot when they didn’t have the meal she wanted,” she wrote.

thing which is happening out at sea,” he said.

“We’ve been looking at different trends, such as el nino and the southern oscillation index, but we’re not sure.”

tat conditions in the upper reaches of the Rakaia were reasonable this year and could produce a good hatch.

“A bad spawning year can produce a really good year three years later when they come back into the river,” he said.

“Likewise in a year when a lot of fish spawn doesn’t mean a good return three years later – in fact it can be the complete opposite. There may be a saturation point with the juvenile fish where they have to compete for food resulting in a lower survival rate.”

To supplement numbers finclipped hatchery fish are also released into the Rakaia.

Spawning started about two weeks earlier than usual this year, but that is not thought to have had any influence on fish stocks.

Fish & Game officers will conduct two more aerial sweeps of the area in the next month.

The journalist at the centre of a fresh legal bid by Scott Watson has hit out at the Corrections Department over its refusal to let him record a long-awaited meeting between Watson and the father of a young woman he was convicted of murdering. Watson’s lawyers this week requested a judicial review challenging the department’s refusal to allow Mike White to attend as a journalist a prison meeting between himself and Blenheim man Gerald Hope. - NZME

Crash landing A helicopter transferring a patient between Ashburton and Christchurch in 2014 was forced to make an emergency landing without power onto farmland when it lost power to both engines.

None of the four people on board was injured and there was only minor damage to the helicopter during the night-time landing on a farm near Springston on May 5, an inquiry has found. A Transport Accident Investigation Commission report said the BK117 lost power because of pilot error. He had not flown that kind of aircraft for five years, so did not switch on the fuel transfer pumps after starting the engines. This starved the engines of fuel despite a full tank.

■ DOG ATTACKS

Education key to dog attack prevention

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

If a dog is on its own, leave it alone.

That’s the message being delivered to Mid Canterbury schools as part of a programme designed to educate children about dog safety.

And it’s a timely message, following a number of vicious dog attacks which have made headlines around the country in recent weeks, including one on a seven-year-old boy in South Auckland, and another on a pregnant woman in Christchurch.

Ashburton District Council environmental monitoring manager Rick Catchpowle said education was the key to avoiding dog attacks.

In the Ashburton District there were 38 priority one dog complaints made to the council in 2015, and among those were attacks on people.

Mr Catchpowle said while education was the key to preventing dog attacks, dog owners also needed to be aware of their responsibilities.

“Dogs should always be under control by their owners, and in the case of those dogs in the Ashburton District listed as dangerous or menacing, these must be neutered and muzzled when in public,” he said.

As part of its dog education campaign, Ashburton District Council animal control officer

Andrea McMurray has introduced a DogSmart programme in schools. It was a free dog safety and bite prevention programme that promoted safety around dogs, particularly for young children.

The programme was developed by the Christchurch City Council animal control education team and was aligned with the New Zealand Education Curriculum. It was available to members of the New Zealand Institute of Animal Control Officers to present to primary schools throughout the country.

Ms McMurray trained with the Christchurch City Council animal control education team with her family pet, Roxy, and had already made six interactive presentations to schools in Mid Canterbury.

She said the programme – which had been extremely well received in the schools she had presented it at – was designed to help students become more aware of how to reduce the risk around dogs and be less likely to become a statistic.

The programme reinforces the key safety messages of If the dog’s on its own, leave it alone and covers how to be safe when meeting a dog, including what to do before approaching a dog.

For more information on the council’s DogSmart programme and how to get it to your school, contact the council.

McCaw receives NZ’s highest honour Former All Blacks captain and Rugby World Cup winner Richie McCaw received New Zealand’s highest honour yesterday.

McCaw is now a member of the Order of New Zealand, receiving his honour at an investiture ceremony held at Government House yesterday afternoon.

Richie McCaw has been an All Black since 2001 and captain since 2006, leading his team to two World Cup victories in 2011 and 2015.

As of last year, he is the most capped player in rugby union history with 148 caps.

The ceremony was not without its laughs, with McCaw having to bend down quite low to receive his medal from the Governor-General.

There was a massive round of applause and those gathered took hundreds of photos as Sir Jerry Mateparae and McCaw paused in their handshake.

■ NIGERIA

‘Most dangerous fighters’

BY KEVIN SIEFF Maiduguri is plastered with the faces of alleged high-level Boko Haram fighters, collages of photos on banners slung across walls and fences and storefronts. Some of the militants are carrying rifles.

Others are wearing military fatigues.

“Wanted Boko Haram Suspects by Nigerian Army,” the banners read.

The pictures of the alleged militants are small.

You have to get close to register one of the banners’ most jarring features: A number of those top-tier suspects are actually boys.

Some look no older than 14.

They smile at the camera or wave scrawny arms at the photographer. They wear ski caps too big for their heads.

How did a bunch of teenagers become the most wanted people in Africa’s most populous country?

Beginning in 2011, Boko Haram, an Islamist extremist group, swept through an enor-

This was a group that delivered nothing to its new subjects other than rape and murder.

Yet each year its campaign expanded wider and wider, mystifying foreign officials and aid workers, who asked: Who are these men?

It was that question that

the Nigerian Army sought to answer when it designed the wanted posters.

In the centre it put Abubakar Shekau, the erratic, bearded leader who screeched threats in Arabic on the group’s videos.

But beyond Shekau, officers believed, some of Boko Haram’s most dangerous members were barely adolescents.

The soldiers didn’t hesitate to add the boys’ photos to the banner – they were wanted, too.

“In banditry, age is not an issue,” said Major General Lucky Irabor, the top military official in northeastern Nigeria.

Today is the second anniversary of one of Boko Haram’s most notorious crimes, the abduction of 276 schoolgirls in the town of Chibok.

The kidnapping generated international outrage, with millions of people tweeting the phrase #bringbackourgirls. But the schoolgirls are hardly the only casualties of Boko Haram.

Since 2014, a fifth of all Boko Haram suicide bombers have been children. And Nigerian officials say that’s not the only threat children pose.

“They can lead. They can fight. They can cause all kinds of damage,” said a senior Nigerian military officer.

“As a commander, I was in charge of nine others, four girls and five boys. We were used mostly for checkpoints but also fighting. I shot my gun many times,” a Liberian boy named Patrick told Human Rights.

He was 12 when he fought in the war.

That’s not what I meant Charlize Theron has fired back at editors of British GQ for the “incredible misquote” attributed to her in the new issue of the men’s magazine. The Mad Max: Fury Road star appeared to be grumbling about the fact she was a Hollywood beauty in the new interview, but she insists her comments were taken out of context and misquoted.

“Jobs with real gravitas go to people that are physically right for them and that’s the end of the story,” she reportedly told the magazine.

“How many roles are out there for the gorgeous, f**king, gownwearing eight-foot model? When meaty roles come through, I’ve been in the room and pretty people get turned away first.”

Celeb tries to gag Google A cheating celebrity at the centre of a gagging order row has asked Google to remove dozens of internet links. An online privacy firm has complained about more than 150 search links that mention the married man and his threesome with another couple. The company claimed to be acting on behalf of the star, who cannot be named after he won a court injunction which bans media in England and Wales from naming him or his spouse.

March activity slowed

so we should not necessarily be alarmed by a slowdown from there.”

Still, Steel said he is monitoring lower employment and relatively high inventory readings.

The employment measure fell to 48.6 in March from 48.8 in February, the second month of contraction and in line with weaker manufacturers’ employment intentions in the New Zea-

land Institute of Economic Research’s latest quarterly survey of business opinion.

“This situation might reflect lower confidence to employ given, say, renewed concerns about trading partner growth, while satisfying demand from existing plant,” Steel said. “If so, employment may well bounce back if demand growth remains strong.”

The PMI showed the meas-

ure of production slipped to 55 in March from 56.5 in February, while new orders sank to 58.2 from 60.7, finished stocks slid to 55.5 from 57.2, and deliveries fell to 52.6 from 56.

Steel noted that New Zealand’s PMI stands “head and shoulders” above similar indicators from major economies around the world. However he said Australia moved ahead of New Zealand in the latest period, following several years where New Zealand outpaced its larger rival.

“The 3.4 index point gap in March is the largest in Australia’s favour since mid-2010,” Steel said. “This is not necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, it might well be a good thing for New Zealand if it indicates a growth pickup in the Australian economy as a whole.”

Australia is New Zealand’s second largest goods export market after China, taking $8.39 billion of products in the year through February, behind the $8.77 billion of goods sent to China.

Affco appeal granted Affco New Zealand, the Talleys Group-controlled meat processor, has been granted leave to appeal an Employment Court ruling that the rights of seasonal workers were preserved in the off-season as if they were in continuous employment. No date has been set for a Court of Appeal hearing.

Justices Rhys Harrison, John Wild and Mark Cooper granted Affco leave to appeal. The appeal ruling is part of a series of ongoing legal clashes between Affco and the Meatworkers Union, which has achieved a measure of success in the Employment Court.

regions with the median house price in Auckland above $800,000 for the first time. House prices in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty region grew 22.1 per cent from March 2015, coming in second behind the Central Otago Lakes, which saw a 26.5 per cent increase.

The main focus for investors globally has been the start of the global reporting season.

Although only in early days, focus has definitely been on the upcoming results as expectations for this season are reasonably poor.

Expectations are for an aggregate decline in earnings per share of 7.9 per cent from the prior comparable period. This is much lower than the beginning of the year when expectations were for an increase of 1.2 per cent. The market is expecting earnings declines in seven of the 10 sectors. The energy sector is set to be hardest hit, with an expected earnings decline of 105 per cent.

As is traditional, Alcoa kicked off earnings season and experienced mixed results. Although the company reported better than expected profits, the result was significantly lower than the first quarter of 2015. The mixed result saw the share price fall significantly in after market trading.

but with a very different outcome, was JP Morgan. The large multi-national bank saw a fall in income but not by the magnitude that was expected as revenues in its consumer business partially offset the fall in revenues from its investment banking arm.

The share price rose following the announcement and pulled its banking peers up with it.

Over the Tasman, markets have had a turbulent time as commodity prices continue to make wild swings in either direction.

This week commodity prices have rallied which has seen robust gains in the ASX200 index, particularly from recently sold down mining and resources stocks as well as the big four banks.

This week saw surveys for both consumer sentiment and business confidence released and each painted a different picture.

The NAB business survey showed an increase in business confidence and a vast improvement on business conditions, now at the same levels seen post-GFC. On the other hand, Consumer confidence fell again in April, the second consecutive month where pessimists outnumbered optimists.

A softening housing market, strong Aussie dollar and volatile share markets were the major contributors.

Quiet on economic front

t has been a quiet week on the economic front for markets this week though this hasn’t stopped some big movements happening.

The NZX50 hit a fresh record high this week as it continued to make positive increments.

The index had a change to its components this week as Diligent delisted from the NZX following the acceptance of its takeover offer mid-week. A private equity firm from the US named Insight Venture Partners’ made a bid of $US4.90 a share to buy Diligent.

There was a special shareholder vote this week which required over 50 per cent of shareholders to agree. More than 58 per cent of shareholders voted yes. Diligent first listed on December 12, 2007 at $NZ1.00 a share.

Replacing Diligent on the NZX50 is Comvita, a natural health and honey company whose share price, for the year to date, has increased 45.24 per cent, and is now at over $12 a share. Neil Craig the chairman of Craigs Investment Partners is the chairman of Comvita Limited.

There were a couple of economic releases this week, including the electronic cards transaction data. This showed an increase in retail spending for March, particularly in hospitality spending. Actual sales increased 6.2 per cent to $NZ4.95 billion from March 2015.

Another data release that gained significant media attention was the REINZ report.

This showed that the national median house price increased to $495,000. New national records were set across many of the

A $23 million annual increase in development contributions collected by councils means the Government’s reforms have failed, an opposition MP claims.

Phil Twyford, Labour’s housing spokesman, said councils got an extra $23 million, or 9 per cent more, from developers in the past year. Nick Smith, Building and Housing Minster, disputed Twyford’s claims. Building activity had picked up substantially, he said, yet the increase in contributions was below that pickup level.

New Zealand manufacturing activity slowed for a second month in March to the lowest level in five months although it remains above its longer term average.

The BNZ-BusinessNZ performance of manufacturing index fell to a seasonally adjusted 54.7 last month, from 55.9 in February and a 15-month high of 57.9 in January. A reading of 50 separates expansion from contraction New Zealand’s manufacturing sector has been expanding since October 2012. While the measure slid in the latest reading, it has returned to around the average set in 2015, and remains “comfortably above” the 53 longer term average for the index, BNZ said.

“A slowdown for sure, but it would have to extend quite a bit further before it became a genuine growth worry,” Bank of New Zealand senior economist Doug Steel said in his report. “After all, January set a fair blistering pace,

OUR VIEW

The case for clarity and liability Sue Newman

I

t’s been a long, slow wind down towards the inevitable, but finally it appears that the glory days of Grow Mid Canterbury are over.

The economic development organisation was born decades ago under the umbrella of the Ashburton District Council. In its early days its job was simple. As the Ashburton Enterprise Agency it worked on projects that would benefit Ashburton – economically.

Gradually it morphed into a more substantial organisation with its own board, a new name and wider responsibilities. It took on a wider range of responsibilities but continued as the council’s economic arm and has been paid $240,000 a year.

In return the council wanted a clear line between the money it provided, the projects it was spent on and the results gained.

What it did not get was a clear line of sight to a result. The council asked, but the answers never came.

Grow Mid Canterbury has definitely had some wins along the way, most significantly in the area of youth employment.

This funding has not come from council coffers, but has been one of several contracts the organisation has won each year. And it’s done that in other areas too.

What has not been so successful is the organisation’s accountability and transparency. Over the years projects, financial dealings and grants have become intermingled and no matter how often the council asked for some clarity around its grants the information was never forthcoming.

The council, charged with being a wise custodian of ratepayer money wanted answers. Those answers never came and finally it felt it had been reasonable for long enough. It commissioned an independent report into the dealings of the organisation and it didn’t like what it found.

When the lid was lifted off it revealed a complex, convoluted and clouded web and it exposed a picture of an organisation that was in serious financial strife.

Councillors, quite rightly were aghast. The advice was to look elsewhere for its economic development work and there’s little doubt that is what they will do.

And that will leave Grow Mid Canterbury on very shaky ground. Without the council grant it’s basically out of business and that’s a tough reward for the people, many of them volunteers who have been its backbone along the way.

Sometimes the bizarre is in fact the reality I

sometimes look at some of my prep sources and think, I’m a bit sceptical about that story, especially some of the more bizarre ones out of the United States or most stories about Donald Trump.

Tuesday morning my prep sheet from America sent the following story, I thought it was a superb idea and followed it up with a phone call to the number mentioned. First though the story.

“HELLO, SVEN?” Is there something you want to know about Sweden? Forget about browsing Wikipedia or making a trip to Ikea … now you can just call.

Sweden has become the first country to get a National Phone Number, allowing the rest of the world to just dial and get connected to a random volunteer somewhere in Sweden.

The idea behind the novel campaign launched by the

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Swedish Tourist Association is to promote Sweden to foreigners by letting citizens answer questions rather than tourism officials.

The so-called Swedish Number is +46-771-SWEDEN (793336).

I had the pleasure of chatting with Patrick, who lives seven hours drive north of Stockholm.

Patrick told me in less than a week he had had around 50 calls from all parts of the world including several countries in Africa, most countries in Europe, Argentina and America. I was the first from New Zealand.

Here’s the bit that really blew me away, he then told me there

were 10,000 volunteers just like him throughout Sweden. So in less than a week they have had circa half a million calls wanting info on the country plus a few annoying radio announcers checking the validity of their sources.

It will be interesting to see if the calls turn into tourist dollars.

I’m sure they will be watching the numbers with interest.

I think this is a sensational idea and would love to see us do the same in New Zealand, the big question is could we find 10,000 volunteers to talk positively about our country I thought I had better give you a heads up, that all going well I may not be writing this column for much longer.

That’s just made some people very happy I’m sure!

Ashburton Guardian 15

In brief Ladies begin season Wakanui Blue will return to action following last Saturday’s bye and ladies teams Hampstead and Hampstead/Collegians will kick off their season tomorrow. Wakanui Blue will host Northern Hearts in Ashburton while Hampstead lock horns with Cambridge and Hampstead/Collegians travel to Geraldine. Wakanui Blue were thumped 9-0 by Cambridge in their season opener a fortnight ago, and had a week off to reflect on the result. Meanwhile, Cambridge moved on to Wakanui Black, who have a bye tomorrow, and dealt Mitch Moore’s side a 9-1 hiding.

Tactix lose best player Nicola Mackle won’t be going to Australia with the Tactix to play the West Coast Fever on Sunday due to a left knee niggle. Coach Sue Hawkins said she preferred Mackle rest up and be ready for their home game against the Mystics on April 25. Mackle was player of the match against the Steel in last weekend’s meritorious draw.

Festival ‘fantastic opportunity’

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s senior netball team will be in action at the Christchurch International Netball Festival at the Bishopdale Recreation Centre tomorrow.

The festival will feature three teams from across the Tasman and seven from the South Island.

Two sides will be fielded by Sydney’s Asquith Girls’ High School while an invitational Newcastle

up our team environment and goals for the season and just having fun together.”

With Molly Stapleton sidelined with injury, B team player Shania Stempa will be joining the A squad.

Mitchell believes the experience of playing teams from outside the district will benefit her players as they hope to go one better in this year’s ACL Premier Grade netball competition.

“As secondary school players,

Netball Federation team will also be in action.

Ashburton College coach Angela Mitchell said the three-day event will allow the girls to get plenty of court time under their belts.

“It will be a fantastic opportunity to get to know each other on court with ample opportunities to play a variety of combinations,” she said.

“It is also a wonderful chance to be together off court, setting

the more teams and styles we can expose ourselves to the better,” she said.

“It is all about allowing each player to grow by gaining knowledge about how to play against different opponents.”

College will play two matches tomorrow morning against Rangiora and Craighead before taking on Asquith and Cashmere in the afternoon.

The tournament will conclude on Monday.

Top-ranked Novak Djokovic suffered his earliest loss in three years when he was stunned by 55th-ranked Jiri Vesely 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters yesterday.

It was also his first loss in a completed match since November, having retired from a match in February with eye infections. This was his first match of the year on clay.

Hamilton penalised Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton will be hit with a fiveplace grid penalty for Sunday’s Formula One Chinese Grand Prix due to a gearbox change, his Mercedes team confirmed yesterday. “This weekend is going to be tough,” Hamilton said. “I will start with a five-place grid penalty due to a gearbox change but, because of you guys, I feel energised, motivated and confident that we can regain ground lost.” A driver must use a single gearbox for six consecutive events and the penalty means the highest Hamilton can start is from sixth on the grid.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Dagg starts for Crusaders Super Rugby kicks off in Christchurch tonight where the Crusaders host the Jaguares.

The Crusaders have never played the Jaguares before in Super Rugby so this will be a historic match.

The Crusaders will be aiming for a sixth straight win in this match and if they do it will be the first time since 2011 that they have won six in a row.

The Crusaders lost their first match this year (to the Chiefs) but since then they have gone unbeaten.

Last week they beat the Force by one point but that was an away match at the end of a tour of South Africa and Australia.

The Jaguares are almost in the exact opposite position.

They won their first match and have lost all of their subsequent matches but they are still on tour and this week will be the often dreaded third week on tour.

Their tour continues to Japan next week.

In order to combat the tour fatigue the Jaguares have made nine changes for this match and a number of their stars return including team captain and Pumas star Juan Martín Hernández who comes in at 10.

Nicolas Sanchez has been rested for this week but with Hernandez at 10 the team will lose little

on attack. Coach Raul Perez has made five changes in the forward pack and four changes to the backs.

Creevy forms a new front row by replacing Julian Montoya and he is joined by Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro who takes over from Ramiro Herrera.

Matias Alemanno comes into the second row for Tomas Lavanini and elsewhere in the pack Juan Manuel Leguizamón and Facundo Isa

replace Pablo Matera and Leonardo Senatore.

In the backs Gonzalo Mendoza Bertranou replaces Martin Landajo while Matías Moroni starts on the wing with Joaquin Tuculet at fullback and Jeronimo de la Fuente starts at centre.

The Crusaders have also made changes for this match.

Israel Dagg returns to the side for the first time this year and is one of five changes to the side that played the Force.

In the forwards props Joe Moody and Wyatt Crockett have rotated so that Moody takes the starting spot this week.

Scott Barrett will pair up with Luke Romano at lock and Jimmy Tupou will provide cover.

Andy Ellis will be the starting halfback and Kieron Fonotia will start at centre. Mitchell Drummond, Sean Wainui and Ben Volavola will provide cover for the backs, while loose forward Tim Boys also comes onto the bench this week.

Ryan Crotty will win his 100th Super Rugby cap for the Crusaders in this week’s match.

The Crusaders have played three matches at home this year and they have won two.

The Bookies have given the Jaguares a 13 point start for this match.

The Crusaders could tire late in the match but it’s reasonable to expect the Jaguares to suffer more from fatigue given their schedule.

CRUSADERS 1 Joe Moody, 2 Codie Taylor, 3 Owen Franks, 4 Luke Romano, 5 Scott Barrett, 6 Jordan Taufua, 7 Matt Todd, 8 Kieran Read (C), 9 Andy Ellis, 10 Richie Mo’unga, 11 Nemani Nadolo, 12 Ryan Crotty, 13 Kieron Fonotia, 14 Johnny McNicholl, 15 Israel Dagg.

Replacements: 16 Ged Robinson, 17 Wyatt Crockett, 18 Mike Alaalatoa, 19 Jimmy Tupou, 20 Tim Boys, 21 Mitchell Drummond, 22 Sean Wainui, 23 Ben Volavola.

JAGUARES 1 Santiago García Botta, 2 Agustín Creevy (C), 3 Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro, 4 Guido Petti, 5 Matías Alemanno, 6 Juan Manuel Leguizamón, 7 Rodrigo Báez, 8 Facundo Isa, 9 Gonzalo Bertranou, 10 Juan Martín Hernández, 11 Emiliano Boffelli, 12 Santiago González Iglesias, 13 Jerónimo de la Fuente, 14 Matías Orlando, 15 Joaquín Tuculet. Replacements: 16 Facundo Bosch, 17 Felipe Arregui, 18 Enrique Pieretto, 19 Juan Cruz Guillemaín, 20 Pablo Matera , 21 Felipe Ezcurra , 22 Joaquín Paz, 23 Lucas González Amorosino.

Highlanders’ search for new coach continues

By Steve HepBurn Does anyone want to coach the Highlanders next season?

Rob Penney has become the latest coach to rule himself out of seeking the Highlanders head coaching position.

Penney had been mooted as a contender to step into Jamie Joseph’s shoes but he said this week he would not be considered for the job.

Asked if he was chasing the Crusaders head coaching position, given Todd Blackadder is

moving on at the end of the season, he said that was also unlikely. Penney is contracted to Japanese club NTT Communications for one more year.

Penney, who will turn 52 this month, has been floating around the coaching scene for more than

a decade and has enjoyed success with Canterbury at provincial level and also had plenty of success with Irish side Munster.

But, for whatever reason, he does not seem to fit into the Super rugby coaching picture in New Zealand.

Match-fixing tsunami A leading sports corruption expert says New Zealand football is a natural target for widespread match fixing. Canadian Dr Declan Hill said there was “a tsunami of match fixing sweeping around the world”. “It is going to come to New Zealand so get your protection in now,” he said. Dr Hill says football is systemically targeted worldwide and New Zealand’s honest reputation makes it an attractive option for gamblers at all levels.

He witnessed a situation when $4m was bet on an under-16 game in Asia because a storm had wiped out other matches.

Big test for Victory Tonight’s A-League elimination final between Melbourne Victory and Brisbane will come down to who can handle the pressure. And according to Victory coach Kevin Muscat, his players have form after claiming last year’s championship and FFA Cup. “You take some comfort in that ... we’ve got players that have delivered on the big stage,” he said. Matches between the two most successful clubs of the A-League era have been split this season.

Barca bounced out Holders Barcelona have crashed out of the Champions League, two Antoine Griezmann goals and some stifling defence powering Atletico Madrid to a 2-0 quarterfinal, second leg win. Griezmann headed home Saul Niguez’s cross to give the home side a deserved 36th minute lead before the France forward converted from the penalty spot with two minutes remaining. It was enough to complete a 3-2 aggregate victory that eliminated Barca at the quarter-final stage for the second time in three seasons.

First win proving elusive

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Week four of the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition will see Methven face Glenmark, Rakaia host Waihora, Hampstead entertain West Melton, Celtic welcome Oxford and Southern face Darfield.

Methven currently sit at the bottom of the section one ladder, having fallen to three losses in as many outings.

Andy Pearce’s young side were downed 20-13 by West Melton in their season opener three weeks ago before losing out to Rolleston 25-17 and Kaiapoi 23-18 last Saturday.

Despite recent improvements, a win over Glenmark will be a tall order.

After kicking off their cam-

paign with a 14-6 loss to Burn/ Duns/Irwell, Glenmark bounced back with a 57-7 drubbing of Hampstead in week two before thumping Lincoln 40-12 last weekend, and will be eager to keep the pressure on section one front-runners Southbridge.

Rakaia will be out to return to winning form after tasting defeat for the first time in a narrow 1917 loss to Oxford last weekend.

Two wins over Darfield (10-3) and Celtic (19-13) before picking up a bonus point last week puts Sean Carter’s men in fifth place on the section two table – level on points with Oxford – and another win will heap pressure on the top three of Ashley, Waihora and Celtic.

Following a dismal start to the season with losses to Lincoln

(26-10) and Glenmark (57-7), Hampstead posted their first win of the season and collected a bonus point in a convincing 25-5 display against Rolleston in their last outing.

Regan Broker insisted his players were determined to right the wrongs from their poor performance against Glenmark, and will now take confidence in to tomorrow’s clash with West Melton, who were dealt a 52-3 mauling by Burn/Duns Irwell six days ago.

Celtic currently sit in third in section two – two points adrift of Waihora and three behind division leaders Ashley.

Shane Enright’s team have won two of their three ties, with their solitary loss coming in week two’s Mid Canterbury derby against Rakaia 19-13.

Gibson rings the changes By darren Walton Israel Folau will make his first appearance at outside centre and Kurtley Beale returns in a new-look NSW Waratahs team to face the Brumbies in tomorrow’s Super Rugby blockbuster in Sydney.

Coach Daryl Gibson has made numerous changes to his starting line-up in a bid to keep the Waratahs’ flagging finals hopes alive.

Beale, returning from an elbow injury, will partner Folau in an exciting centre pairing at Allianz Stadium.

Andrew Kellaway has earned his first start at fullback to accommodate Folau’s move, while Matt Carraro and Reece Robinson are the wingers with former All Black Zac Guildford being ruled out with a broken foot.

Gibson has also shaken up the forward pack in the wake of the Waratahs’ disappointing last-start loss to the Melbourne Rebels.

Club captain Dave Dennis and prop Paddy Ryan have been dumped to the bench, with Wallabies lock Will Skelton injected into the starting XV to partner Dean Mumm in the second row.

Young prop Tom Robertson has also been rewarded with the opportunity to make his starting debut in the front row following impressive performances.

Waratahs: Andrew Kellaway, Reece Robinson, Israel Folau, Kurtley Beale, Matt Carraro, Bernard Foley, Jed Holloway, Michael Hooper (capt), Jack Dempsey, Will Skelton, Dean Mumm, Tom Robertson, Hugh Roach, Benn Robinson. Res: James Hilterbrand, Paddy Ryan, Angus Taavao, Sam Lousi, Wycliff Palu, David Dennis, Matt Lucas, David Horwitz.

But last week’s bonus point 45-27 win, which featured seven tries, will put the greens in good stead ahead of their tie with a well-drilled Oxford side tomorrow.

Southern are second from bottom in section two of the competition, hovering above Prebbleton thanks to the bonus point they collected for coming within seven points of Ashley a fortnight ago.

Last Saturday Southern were beaten for a third successive week and failed to score in a 20-0 defeat to Waihora.

Ellis’s side failed to produce an end product despite enjoying plenty of possession and will be tested again by Darfield tomorrow, who toppled Ohoka 50-14 last week.

Augustine Pulu is the first significant signing the Blues have made in 2016, but others will come and they will be lured by their respect for coach Tana Umaga. Pulu will give the Blues a dynamic presence at halfback, one of their problem positions. The Blues also need to strengthen their squad at lock as Josh Bekhuis is leaving for Lyon, and first-five, midfield and wing could do with more options.

Sonny Bill Williams and Umaga are close and the Blues are keen to see if they can prise the All Black midfielder from the Chiefs. - NZME

Tough road for coach New Springbok coach Allister Coetzee is already a winner – in theory. He’s won the promotion he coveted, he’s promising to push the Springbok transformation objectives and has inked a deal through to the next World Cup. You have to admire a bloke who has stayed deep in rugby circles and worked for Eastern and Western Provinces, the Sharks, Cats and Stormers, offshore with Kobe Steel and been as assistant to Harry Viljoen then Jake White with the Boks. Coetzee was twice favoured to lead the Boks but lost ballots to Pieter de Villiers and Heyneke Meyer.

Major in his sights

By Wynne Gray Danny Lee’s strong surge at the Masters has convinced the Kiwi he’s got the game to win a major.

His putting is key to that target and those issues hurt Lee as he shot 79 in a frustrating third round.

A last round recovery left Lee in 17th place in a tournament littered with big-name casualties.

“The positive thing was knowing I have a chance to win the Masters,” he said yesterday.

“I have to play four solid rounds of golf and it shows me I have a game for the majors.”

Lee said the winds around the famed Augusta course did not bother him and he had hit the ball superbly from tee to green in round three but struggled with his putting.

“The speed of the greens was ridiculously fast.

“I haven’t putted on that kind of

greens before so it was very new,” he said.

His latest caddy Michael Hartford had been a tremendous help, making strong calls and using his experience to help Lee navigate the tough course. Lee liked their partnership and felt they would continue to develop as a team on the PGA tour.

Lee is playing this week’s RBC Heritage event at Hilton Head in South Carolina and believes he can continue his strong form from the Masters.

A second appearance there had been a huge reward and he could not have asked for much more from his game.

He embraced the pressures and heard the New Zealand support and while that did not gel in round three, he had rebounded with a final one under 71.

Lee is thrilled about the chance to play for New Zealand at the

Olympics but is unsure who his team-mate will be.

He was Korean-born but very much a Kiwi as anyone who heard the first tee announcements at every PGA tournament would know.

“I could not ask for any better honour to represent my country at the Olympics.

“Going there would be such an honour,” he said.

“I don’t know what to expect because I never watched Olympic golf before, I don’t have any clue what to expect but I am very honoured.”

In future Lee wants to play in the NZ Open but cannot see that happening until he earns enough to take a break from conflicting PGA events or the schedule alters.

He would have to bypass a fortnight on tour and valuable Fedex points but if things changed he would be happy to take up Steve Williams offer to caddy for him at the national event.

15/4 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You know yourself well, and yet you are open to the possibility you haven’t yet become who you really are. Under youthful skies try different personas to find the perfect fit.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): “This is the short and the long of it,” wrote Shakespeare. Today’s short version will tell just as much, if not more, than the longer version. In all things, get to the point.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Those excited to be in a particular environment will help you understand what’s good about it. The company you keep will matter much to your experience of the day.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ve meditative powers, activated by your appreciation of beauty. It will be as though your mind is its own kind of deep space – an expanse of awareness you’ll touch for brief, utterly renewing moments.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Embody what you value. Turn it into an action you can take to become the thing you’d like to see more of in the world. Right now that has to do with creativity, novelty and whimsy.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When the cure won’t stick, perhaps it’s not really a cure – or even a BandAid, as most of those are at least sticky enough to cover up the wound a while. Back to the drawing board to find what’s really needed for your healing.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There won’t be any great space between what you say you’ll do and what you’ll actually do. You will declare and deliver, gaining the trust and awe of others along the way.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Someone has to provide the entertainment and colour! You’re inclined toward it, so go for it, even if it means appearing foolish.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You were in a different mind-set when you started this journey.

Are you still on board? “If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going.” – Irwin Corey CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You value respect but do not require it. You may go without this for the sake of moving forward. The ones you’re having trouble with will catch up later. There’s grace in your decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Focus on what you can do instead of what you can’t. Your gift for humour is something you can act on right away. Making someone laugh will be some of your most important work.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Through the ages, people have built the most sacred of temples in once-obliterated places. You’ve done this in your life and it will be from that monument of sacred beauty that you help another.
