A Methven farming partnership wants to change the conditions of its watertake consent to include bottling water, as well as using it for irrigation.

The application by Craig and Helen Elliott (Beith Farm) and GB Robertson partnership to change the conditions has been lodged with Environment Canterbury; their consultant Irricon Resource Solutions has asked it be processed as a non-notified application.

The 269ha farm on the corner of Methven Highway and Thompsons Track has consent to draw water from two deep wells to irrigate crops and pasture for dairy cows.

They also have shares in the Ashburton Lyndhurst Irrigation Scheme, which supplies water piped from the Rangitata and Rakaia rivers via the

Rangitata Diversion Race.

In the request to vary the consent, Irricon said the applicants wanted to include an additional use for commercial purposes to enable bottling water. The rate and volume of take and land area that is irrigated would not change.

“The proposed use for bottling water is still in the investigation phase, however, it is envisaged that water would be bottled on site. Quality tests are proposed to ensure that the water is suitable for the market. When water is not needed for irrigation then it is proposed to be bottled.”

The dairy farm milks 1400 cows for 300 days of the year and takes a maximum combined rate of 92 litres per second from its two bores; it is in a yellow groundwater zone.

The farm must also meet nutrient discharge limits.

Irricon said the proposed additional use to bottle water would have no adverse effects on neighbouring bores.

“The existing consent is subject to an annual volume and it is not proposed to increase this volume for irrigation use or the addition of water bottling.”

Granting the application to vary would allow the farm to diversity their business and use their existing water when it was not required for irrigation, Irricon said.

It was also likely to provide jobs for the local community.

“It will reduce the pressure on other irrigation users as the abstraction is likely to be spread over the year rather than just over the irrigation season.

“Bottling water is considered to be an economically and more environmentally friendly use of water when compared with irrigation.”

Preventable fires waste manpower

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s volunteer firefighters have spent more than 100 hours this week putting out fires that could have been prevented.

Rural fire boss Don Geddes said farmers and contractors burning scrub or vegetation still had to think carefully about when to light fires. “Just because it’s winter, don’t let your guard down.”

The district’s volunteer firefighters spent hours away from their workplaces and family fighting fires in the Rakaia Gorge and off Mitcham Road on Wednesday.

The cause of the gorge fire is still being investigated, but a 6ha area burned before crews from Methven, Alford Forest, Lauriston and Ashburton Rural had it under control. Ashburton firefighters attended the Mitcham Road fire on Tuesday night, when were recalled on Wednesday to make sure it did not flare up in the strong winds.

Mr Geddes said keeping an eye on the weather was as important in the open fire season in winter as it was in summer, when burn-offs

WEATHER FORECAST MetService is forecasting the country will be left in a strong, cold southwest flow over the weekend, bringing showers to many places and snow flurries down to 500m in Otago and the far South.

Mt Hutt Skifield said winds at the summit reached 241km/h on Wednesday and trees fell across their access road. The mountain was open yesterday though it was windy and cold.

The forecast for the weekend is for more freezing temperatures.

Valuable volunteer manpower can be tied up fighting preventable fires.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 130716-TM-0024 needed restrictions and burners had to abide by strict conditions.

He said Wednesday’s strong winds had been well forecast, as were more strong winds on Saturday and Sunday. “It is strong winds

that cause issues and we can get them any time of the year.”

He described conditions as “benign” for the middle of winter. “It is a good time for people to get rid of that sort of material but they do

have to be mindful of the weather.

Check the forecast before lighting the match, and if strong winds are forecast, don’t do it.”

Fires re-ignited by high winds were also a problem, as embers could smoulder for months. Piles needed to be pulled apart and wet, or the fire debris buried.

Mr Geddes said the rural fire authority could recover suppression costs where an out-of-control burn was caused by a careless act, but burners also need to think about the impact on volunteer firefighters. About 22 firefighters

spent at least four hours at the gorge on Wednesday; Ashburton firefighters who worked into the small hours of Wednesday morning at Mitcham, were back at their day jobs in a few hours.

“These guys and girls are called away from their jobs, or their own business, or their family to fight fires that are mostly avoidable,” Mr Geddes said.

The Ashburton brigade attended a false alarm at Ashburton College yesterday morning then was called out again later to put out a burning bush.

COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2016

Two hands go up for councillor jobs Nominations for October’s local body elections open today, but already two new players have shown their hands as potential Ashburton District Councillors.

Last week Methven Community Board chairwoman Liz McMillan announced she would be standing for the council’s western ward and yesterday education professional Selwyn Price declared his intention to stand for the council’s urban ward.

Mr Price has worked as a teacher at Ashburton College, in international schools in Africa and Asia and currently works as a professional development provider for an international educational organisation.

Mrs McMillan, a Methven local since 2002, working as a playcentre supervisor, signalled last week that she would be standing for the western ward.

Liz McMillan The Guardian will be running details of nominations as they are lodged with the election’s returning officer.

Nominations close at noon on August 12. Election day is October 8.

Drillers digging deeper for water

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Work is under way to install a deeper well at Longbeach School due to falling water levels in the lower Hinds plains catchment.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Successive dry winters are forcing an increasing number of Mid Canterbury property owners to dig deeper for domestic water supplies.

Longbeach School is home to one of many shallow wells which have been hit by declining shallow aquifer reserves and is in the process of drilling a new well the depth of 36 metres to mitigate the problem.

School principal Neil Simons said water levels in the existing 11-metre deep well had dropped to just 500mm over the summer and Leeston-based company Smiths Drilling had been commission to install the new bore.

Cathy Kewish, who owns Smiths Drilling in partnership with her husband Barry, said the job was one on many the company has been working on this summer as water levels in shallow aquifers continue to ebb.

“Ashburton has been hit hard by a couple of reasonably dry winters with very little snow to replenish the aquifers, domestic wells that have been used for fifty years are drying up,” Mrs Kewish said.

“They are the last to receive any flow on from water up in the mountains.”

Most of the new domestic wells were sunk to a depth of 30 to 40 metres to access the next strata of aquifers, and Smiths staff have been kept busy this summer responding to an increased demand.

“We must have replaced at least fifty old wells with deeper ones in the past couple of years, most on the seaward side of State Highway One,” she said.

The company now advises lifestyle block owners sinking new domestic wells to drill to the deeper level to avoid remedial work to reach deeper water further down the track.

Work replacing shallow wells has also

kept McMillan Drilling busy over the past couple of years.

General manager Grant Restall did not have the numbers at hand but said the company had certainly seen an increase in work relating to restoring domestic water supplies.

“We’ve definitely seen an upsurge in the number of wells under 30 metres which have gone dry although the deeper wells have held up better,” he said.

“We haven’t had the nor’west recharge in the (river) headwaters or the snowmelt which recharges the aquifers for a couple of winters now.”

In brief Roads treacherous Watch yourself if you’re travelling on treacherous parts of the main highways, says the New Zealand Transport Agency. CanterburyWest Coast journey manager Lee Wright said winds, ice and snow over the past days should be a reminder to take care during winter. The agency’s winter campaign encourages drivers to plan ahead to reduce the risks of crashes. “Be aware that even when roads are gritted, particularly after a frosty or icy night and on corners, drivers need to slow down.”

Ashburton Trust board may require more members

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When nominations for the six seats around the Ashburton Trust board table open tomorrow, there might need to be a surge of new candidates.

Of the six sitting board members, three are undecided whether they’ll be seeking re-election.

Both first termers Chris Robertson and Jim Lischner say their names will be on the ballot papers for the October elections.

Seeing through the trust’s changes in its business model, that involved selling off its busi-

now changing away from running businesses into a landlord only role, the skills needed around the table were also changing, Mrs Watson said.

As a board member there was also an opportunity to be involved in decision-making with the distribution of funds to community groups through the Lion Foundation, a very rewarding part of the trust’s business, she said. “And in these decisions, it would also be good to have women who can often give a different view. There are a lot of good women out there in the commu-

ness and become a landlord only, was the reason two first terms, Chris Robertson and Jim Lischner, and long-serving member Roger Paterson said they would be seeking re-election.

As the board’s only woman, Fay Watson is keen to see other women consider standing for the trust board.

Over its 60-plus year history, she is only the third woman to sit around the board table and said that like all modern day boards, the trust needed a better gender balance.

With the trust’s business model

nity who could do this.”

She has served two terms and is undecided whether to seek reelection.

Chairman Alister Lilley is also undecided about his future on the board saying he was doing a lot of soul searching and thinking about whether he would stand again. He has been a board member for several terms and its chairman for the past two.

Another long server Alan Neumann is also uncertain.

“I’m sitting on the fence at the moment. I think I’ve done my time so I’m very undecided.”

Tinwald Memorial Hall will be home to Ashburton’s fifth Trains on the Plains exhibition this weekend.

Trains on the Plains is a model train show and a place for model train enthusiasts to buy, sell and trade components for model trains and sets. The show is held in Ashburton every second year and they share the show circuit with Timaru. One of the members of the show team Andy Munro said they have 17 layouts in this year’s show. The show is open to the public from July 16 to July 17, with both days running from 9.30am to 4pm.

Motorbike crash A Methven man was airlifted to Christchurch Hospital by the Westpac helicopter yesterday after falling off his motorbike.

Methven firefighter Karl Burmester said the man, in his late 30s, had chest pains and was struggling to breathe after the accident about 12.45pm. The man was riding a two-wheeler along the side of a drive when it clipped a fence and crashed.

Family found safe A mother and three children lost on Mt Pirongia overnight were rescued by 12 police and Hamilton search and rescue volunteers early yesterday morning. The 36-yearold mother and her children, aged 15, 10 and 7, were reported missing about 8.50pm. They had headed from the western side of the Waikato mountain late Thursday afternoon towards Pahautea hut, near the summit, but underestimated the time it would take and called for assistance after it became dark and they got lost.

Ashburton has been identified by NZME as the seven most “Olympic” town in New Zealand, loosely based on the number of gold medals won by the district’s Olympic athletes over the years, in proportion to our population.

The media group is revealing the top towns one by one and representatives from The Hits were in Ashburton yesterday giving away car flags, sweets and popcorn outside Olympic sponsor ANZ. They were also spreading the word about the Olympic app that can be downloaded on smartphones to keep people up to speed with events in Rio. The app lets users read about our Olympians, receive notifications about events and times, and send messages of support to competitors.

The eighth most Olympic town was Rotorua, the ninth Christchurch and the 10th Whangarei.

In brief Testing site shifting Sitting your driver’s licence soon?

Be aware VTNZ is changing the location of its Ashburton testing site. Until the end of the month, those sitting their practical and theoretical tests will still be able to do so at the Gluyas Motor Group’s Kermode Street car dealership – but from August 1, driver licensing and driver testing will be carried out at VTNZ’s South Street branch, which is also a vehicle testing station. Ashburton’s AA services, which have also been available at Gluyas, will move to Paper Plus from the same date.

Clamping ‘unfair’ The AA has called for wheel clamping to be banned. It follows reports of intimidation by those trying to collect the $200 fee from motorists who’ve had their cars clamped. AA spokesman Mark Stockdale said the punishment was disproportionate to the offence. It was unfair for motorists and businesses. Stockdale said customers were left with a negative perception of business, reporting they would not go back there again because of the way they’d been treated.

Man shot by police A man was running down a Rotorua street armed with a machete before he was shot by police yesterday, say witnesses.

The shooting happened about 1pm.

Witnesses have described seeing police chase the man through a busy intersection and yelling at him to stop before shooting at him at least twice.

Paramedics and police staff gave the man first aid at the scene and a St John spokesman said he was taken to Rotorua Hospital in a serious condition.

It is the second police shooting in New Zealand this week, after police shot and killed Nick Mar-

Ashburton Guardian

shall, 36, in Hamilton on Tuesday night.

Local worker, Cerese Ashby, 20, said she was going to get lunch in Rotorua when she saw the man get shot.

“I saw a guy running down the road, he was armed with something but I couldn’t tell what. I thought it was a gun at first but it just looked like a big weapon. He was running down the road by the roundabout and the police were chasing him.

“They were yelling at him to get on the ground, they yelled twice but he didn’t so then two massive gunshots went off and the guy hit the ground.

“The paramedics went over to him and police went over to him.”

Ashby said that the man was not dead.

“He wasn’t dead but he was severely injured. They were wiping him down and rolling him in this white foam stuff.”

She said the man was fairheaded and pale skinned.

“It was absolutely terrifying, it was not something you want to ever see.”

The shooting happened outside a number of industrial businesses in the suburb of Lynmore.

It is understood that the man ran through Birchall and Maun-

der Automotive during the incident.

Staff at the business said police told them not to speak with media.

However, staff at nearby businesses said the man had run through the workshop and was carrying a machete and used it to smash a police car.

There was reports from witnesses vthat the man injured a police officer and threatened workers at the automotive shop, but those details were yet to be confirmed by police.

“Everyone seemed really shaken up, there was a lot of tension in air”, Ashby said.

■ TARANAKI CONTRACT MILKER

Milker cuts teats off cows A Taranaki contract milker cut teats off 12 cows by placing rubber rings on them and slicing them off with scissors.

Claudio Da Costa, 47, told Ministry for Primary Industries investigators he cut them off with scissors because it was a “quick and cheap fix for the problem”.

The ministry began an investigation after receiving a complaint to its Animal Welfare hotline in November last year when Da Costa was working as a contract milker at a property in Okato, south of New Plymouth.

MPI’s Wellington/Taranaki district compliance manager, Mike Green, said the farm’s owners found 12 dairy cows to have missing teats and consulted a vet to find out what had happened to them.

He said Da Costa admitted removing the teats by placing a rubber ring on them and cutting them off two days later with a pair of scissors.

He failed to use any form of

pain relief. “In explanation for his actions, Da Costa said the cows had bad lacerations to their teats and he considered it the quickest and cheapest way to fix the problem,” Mr Green said.

“He said the lacerations were already causing the cows pain and he didn’t believe his actions caused them any more pain.”

Mr Green says expert veterinary opinion stated that sensory innervation of the teat is dense and therefore very sensitive to trauma and other painful stimuli.

Any teat surgery requires analgesia and should only be undertaken by a veterinarian.

It was highly unlikely that all 12 cows would have required treatment by teat amputation.

“Teat occlusion using the method employed by Da Costa is a draconian practice with no place in modern dairy farming.”

Da Costa was convicted and fined $3750 when he appeared in the New Plymouth District Court yesterday.

Demolition work nearly finished Final clean-up work is under way after the demolition of an elderly building on the corner of Ashburton’s West and Tancred streets.

Demolition of the 100-year-old-plus building began on July 4 and was completed in less than six hours. That was the easy part.

The clean-up has seen work crews on site over

several days since, but that work is now almost at an end, and where a significant landmark on the townscape once stood, there is just an empty section. While owner of the site Don Williamson has plans drawn up for a new complex, there are no immediate plans for work on the project to begin.

Water debate not over yet

Sue Newman

J

ust when the community believed the issue of selling water for commercial gain had gone to ground, it’s surfaced again, this time as an alternative or additional use for water from an already activated consent.

NZ Pure Blue and the Ashburton District Council were locked in negotiations over a land deal that involved a water consent.

The buyer wanted to activate that consent for a water bottling plant and that rang alarm bells with a number of people.

The deal was called off by the council because conditions around the sale were not met but would the opposition have been as strong if the water consent had been on private land?

Over the coming weeks, we might find out.

The owners of a consent on an Ashburton farm have applied to Environment Canterbury for changes to that consent to allow the water taken to be used for irrigation, with the surplus bottled and sold.

The consented amount would not change, but its end use would. This application opens up a whole new debate around the use of water.

This application for uses other than irrigation certainly won’t be the first around New Zealand; certainly water bottling plants are not a rarity around the country.

What’s changed over the past few months is that we are now much more aware of water consents and the options around them.

The council deal catapulted water bottling into the headlines, but more than that it made everyone much more aware of water issues.

We need to decide what the crux of the debate really is – is it about the use of water, per se, is it about the use of water for bottling and exporting or is it about someone making money out of a resource many claim belongs to all of us.

Where the commercial gain argument comes unstuck, however, is on the point of precedent. Virtually every consent issued is activated by its owner for commercial gain, whether that business is farming or water bottling.

Irrigation allows farmers to grow more grass, better crops and to make more money. Water bottling does the same. Neither pay per litre for the water abstracted.

YOUR VIEW A housing solution?

I am writing this letter from my recall of our families past, hopefully it might stimulate some thought for the present, discussion and initiative in our fast changing housing world.

I was born generation ‘baby boomer’ in 1947 to a Montalto farming family, west of Mayfield. The 1930’s depression had been very, very tough years for all New Zealander’s then followed by almost six years of war, ending in 1945.

My parents had no house to live in on their Montalto farm when I was born, but had to live in the same house as my dad’s parents, my grandparents. This arrangement was out of necessity so my father and mother could provide for their family and pursue a farming career.

My grandparents’ house was divided into two as I remember: shared bathroom, toilet, pantry, hallway, meat safe, the only part of the house that was private, our family was allocated three bedrooms.

When I look back it was the most amazing period of my young life

CRUMB

growing up that very few ever have experienced. This arrangement in effect gave me two fathers, two mothers, double shared love, wisdom and care. Looking back, I admire my mother for making it work.

It was not until a lift in wool prices in 1952 this shared living arrangement ended, after five years.

It would be a shame to lose our pioneering spirit that made this country great. House sharing was a means to an end. I know after going broke a well know Ashburton business man Mr Bob Burnett slept under his truck, to get his business re-started again. I am not quite advocating this.

My father and mother went on to become successful Methven farmers and served their community.

They supported and helped drive the housing for the aged in Methven, through ‘Methven Aged Persons Welfare Association, Methven House. This was driven in part by their earlier years’ life experience.

Is there not a message in this for us today?

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

My daughter is going to be both happy and sad with this week’s column.

This story came to me via a prep sheet out of America I always get a small sense of pride whenever New Zealand stories feature in it.

Thumb-sucking and nail-biting now good for you: Children who suck their thumbs or bite their nails are less likely to develop some allergies, a new University of Otago-McMaster University study suggests.

The explanation is that exposure to germs can strengthen the body’s immune system.

The study analysed statistics about 1000 people in New Zealand, they were assessed periodically between ages of five and 32.

About a third were frequent thumb-suckers or nail-biters as children.

Their risk of developing an allergy later in life to things such as dust mites or pets has proven to be about 33 per cent lower than children who did not have the habits.

Researchers say the habits shouldn’t be encouraged, but there does appear to be a positive side to them.

As well as the pride thing about this story, I was a bit chuffed with it because I was a thumb sucker as a kid. Both of my brothers were too. Mother tells me, she could always tell when we were tired, as things would go quiet and we’d be sitting somewhere with our thumbs in our gobs.

Of course the other times that things went quiet was usually a cause for alarm for her and father.

I was actually talking with mother about this very story on Wednesday when the kids and I visited. She had seen it on the telly.

She told us all with a sense of achievement in her voice that she would often encourage us to get outside in the garden with thumbs in gobs and get into some serious immune strengthening.

Sometimes we would get a lit-

We then thought it would be an awesome idea to climb his bean fence and jump (get pushed in Mark’s case) into the “quicksand” like a wrestler from On the Mat would have done from the top rope.

I remember mother coming out and taking a photo of us before receiving a couple of lessons from Mr Strap around the butt.

Which would have been followed immediately by a wail similar to the one that calls firemen to the station when there’s a fire in town.

Eventually that would have been followed by some serious thumb sucking to calm the

nerves and console ourselves.

I remember when Manda and I were in New York, we saw a lady in her early 20s I’m guessing, on the subway sucking her thumb.

At the time we were like, what the hell is going on with that? Now we know she was just getting in a bit of immune strengthening on the way to work.

I have never liked the idea of all these sprays and wipes that kill 99 per cent of the bacteria, blah blah blah.

What about all of the good bugs they are destroying? Are they part of the problem that leads us to super bugs?

So if you’re starting to feel a bit poorly or as routine just before winter kicks in, get yourself out in the garden and give that thumb of yours a good sucking for an

hour or so.

So, why is my daughter going to be happy and sad with this column? She is a thumb sucker, so she’ll be stoked with all the health benefits that go along with that. Somehow I think at age 13 she may not be so chuffed I have mentioned it. I know she sucks her thumb when she’s grumpy, so I have purely done it for her health’s sake.

Protest rant expensive An Emmy-winning CBS news producer and photojournalist has been fired after a series of social media postings threatening to bomb Black Lives Matter protesters in downtown Atlanta.

Charles Beau Menefee, of CBS46, posted screen shots on Facebook of BLM protesters marching in central Atlanta, saying: “BLM is blocking the street ... but I have a solution!

How about we box everyone in and drop a f****** bomb on it?”

The two-times Emmy Award winner lashed out on Facebook, calling the black rights campaigners “unevolved, uncivilised turds”.

“An armed, ignorant piece of s*** with a gold grill in his mouth like Alton Sterling was totally a reason for you unevolved, uncivilized turds to kill good, moral, moral, civilized people like police officers,” he wrote.

“Go die, Black Lives Matter.”

His career-ending series of social-media posts also suggested someone should shoot the BLM protesters at their next march.

CBS46 general manager Mark Pimental confirmed to the Atlanta Journal Constitu-

Bond writer attacked US actress Zoe Saldana launched a fourletter tirade apparently aimed at James Bond writer Anthony Horowitz, after the novelist said Idris Elba was “too street” to play the fictional spy. Saldana, 38, who appears with Elba in the upcoming Star Trek Beyond, described English mystery writer Horowitz as a “coward” and a “hypocrite” over the comments made in a newspaper interview last year. “What kind of ignorant comment to make is that? Just say ‘I don’t see James Bond as a black man’.”

Black Lives Matter protesters march through Atlanta this week. tion yesterday that Menefee was fired from the news station. Pimental’s note to the publication included a copy of the firm’s employee photograph of Menefee.

The Twittersphere was quick to condemn Menefee’s behaviour, with some added advice on what to do next.

Los Angeles actress and fight choreography expert Victoria Floro, who has cred-

its for movies like Diversion (2010), AgAu (2014) and Help Wanted (2011), suggested on Twitter: “Now that he’s been fired he’ll have more time to devote to his more leisurely pastimes, like burning crosses.”

New York Times best-selling author Jeff Pearlman also had advice.

Amber back with girlfriend

■ BRITAIN

Boris is back: prepare to be insulted With his unkempt blonde hair, bumbling humour and penchant for Latin quotations, the man known to Britons simply as “Boris” will be the new British Government’s most colourful figure.

But Boris Johnson is a controversial choice for conducting sensitive diplomacy with world leaders since he has a reputation for undiplomatic language.

Two weeks ago, new Prime Minister Theresa May mocked his negotiating skills.

During the Brexit campaign, he compared the EU to one of Adolf Hitler’s projects and stoked fears that Turkey was about join the bloc, leading to mass immigration to Britain.

His first test may come at a meeting of EU foreign ministers scheduled in Brussels next Monday.

When she launched her own leadership campaign, May made fun of Johnson’s negotiations with Germany.

“I seem to remember the last time he did a deal with the Germans, he came back with three nearly new water cannons,” she said.

Johnson once compared possible next US president Hillary Clinton to “a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital”. He

said she represents “everything I came into politics to oppose” including “an all-round purselipped political correctness”.

Johnson praised the Russian President’s help for the Assad regime in Syria as acting “with a ruthless clarity”.

On Putin he said in 2015 that “despite looking a bit like Dobby the House Elf, he is a ruthless and manipulative tyrant”.

Amber Heard reunited with her exgirlfriend this week amid her bitter legal battle with Johnny Depp. The 30-year-old actress was spotted tucking into lunch with her former flame Tasya Van Ree whom she split from five years ago - at Republique in Los Angeles. Amber, who brought her beloved pet Yorkshire Terrier along with her in a doggy bag, arrived at the plush eatery five minutes after the 40-year-old photographer, before spending an hour catching up over delicious grub. Amber dated the happysnapper for four years and during that time, the blonde beauty legally changed her surname to Van Ree. It was also claimed the pair held a private ceremony in 2011 in New York, around the time same-sex marriage was legal there, but the pair reportedly didn’t make it official.

In addition to this, the country has had a change of leadership to contend with.

Following the announcement of the Brexit result, Prime Minister David Cameron announced that he would be stepping down from his position.

Since then there has been some jostling about for leadership.

However, this week it was announced that home secretary Theresa May would be the successor and she took residence at number 10 Downing Street this week.

The Bank of England’s July meeting at the time of writing is still to come.

Market predictions are that there will be a rate cut, the first in seven years, of 25 basis points.

This would take the benchmark interest rate from 0.50 per cent to 0.25 per cent in an effort to boost confidence and help avoid a recession as Brexit induced uncertainty dents economic growth.

The UK wasn’t the only country this week with thoughts of economic stimulus and political changes.

In Japan, the election gave Shinzo Abe’s governing party an increased majority in the upper house.

This means that it will now be able to introduce further fiscal stimulus measures in an attempt

to ignite the waning economy.

The Japanese Nikkei index has made significant gains this week, spurred on by the renewed hopes for stimulus.

Further political uncertainty was cleared up this week in Australia after the recent election result was inconclusive.

After a prolonged period of vote counting, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull managed to secure a win for the Coalition.

However, it will be an uphill battle for Mr Turnbull. There was a large swing in the election towards the Labor party, which has a number of the Coalition nervous and doubting current leadership.

Also against the Coalition is that they do not have a majority in the Senate, the upper house in the Australian bicameral Parliament made up of state representatives.

This means that for the Government to pass legislation requires a number of the Crossbenchers (largely made up of the Greens) to be supportive of the legislation.

The latest consumer confidence survey in Australia released this week for July was reflective of the uncertainty that remains in the economy as the index moved from 102.2 in June to 99.1 for July.

The 3 per cent drop was significant as anything below 100 indicates that the number of pessimists outweigh optimists.

The market week in review his week has seen a global market rally, with equity market hitting all time highs.

The rally has been driven by a lessening of political uncertainty that we have seen in recent weeks, particularly from Japan, the UK and Australia.

The NZX50 hit fresh all time highs this week as it was dragged higher by the global rally.

Although there was little in the way of economic data to look at from a local perspective the market took cues from its global counterparts and followed the generally upbeat sentiment.

The end of last week saw a positive US jobs report which has helped to increase positivity in markets.

The non-farm Payrolls report for June was well above expectations, gaining 278,000 jobs. This was the strongest result in eight months and easily surpassed the 180,000 gain that was forecast.

It was also well ahead of last month’s dismal report which created a fair amount of uncertainty.

However, the unemployment rate remained at 4.9 per cent, missing expectations while average hourly earnings also missed expectations, rising only 0.1 per cent for the month and 2.6 per cent for the last year.

The positive jobs report saw expectations for an interest rate hike in 2016 increase from 12 per cent to more than 20 per cent.

The Brexit referendum result is still a hot topic of conversation as Britain and the world starts to think about how the UK’s exit from the European Union might work.

Baby boomers started turning 65 in 2011, marking the unofficial beginning of their retirement years. The timing could not have been better for older boomers, who are already part of the wealthiest generation in US history. Since then, the broad S&P 500-stock index is up 91 per cent, including dividends. US stocks hit a record high on Tuesday. Older boomers have experienced what is arguably the best-case scenario: The S&P 500 has returned 269 per cent since its March 2009 low. - AP

House prices have risen faster than wages in all but four regions in New Zealand, according to analysis by the Labour Party.

The four regions – Grey District, Masterton, Westland and Wairoa – contain just 1.25 per cent of the population, Labour leader Andrew Little said.

That meant more than 98 per cent of the population was being affected by high house prices, he said.

Following its housing policy announcements on the weekend, Labour launched an interactive map yesterday to give more information about how house price inflation was affecting different parts of the country. http://www.labour.org.nz/ housingmap The Labour analysis, based on Quotable Value and Statistics New Zealand data, showed that

the highest average house price was in Auckland’s eastern suburbs, at $1.4 million.

The lowest was in Kawerau, where the average house price was $131,000.

The data also showed that the shortage of homes in Auckland was also affecting regions outside of the city.

Prices in Hamilton’s southwestern suburbs rose 29.8 per cent in the past year, the fastest in the country.

In the Bay of Plenty, rents rose by 9.5 per cent in the year to March.

Little said the housing costs appeared to be making inequality worse.

Homeownership in Auckland’s Waitemata district had fallen to below 40 per cent.

The highest ownership rate was in Waimakariri, where 80 per cent of households owned their own home.

New Zealand consumer confidence remained upbeat in July as Kiwis were more optimistic about their own fortunes than they were for the broader economy. The ANZRoy Morgan consumer confidence index slipped to 118.2 last month from 118.9 in June, though a net 29 per cent of respondents expect to be better off financially in a year’s time, compared to 24 per cent a month earlier. They were less optimistic about their 12-month outlook for the economy, with a net 4 per cent expecting good times ahead, while over a five-year horizon a net 13 per cent see more good times.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Hoffman unfazed by ‘roadie’ It’s the longest road trip in the NRL and one that has so far been fruitless for the Warriors.

But skipper Ryan Hoffman is playing down the journey from Auckland to Perth to face hosts Manly, with both clubs coming off a bye.

“Fortunately, quite a few of us have done it before and I don’t think it’s going to be a surprise,” he said.

“There are challenges involved – it’s a five-hour flight for Manly too.

“It is what it is.

“It’s still a game of footy with just a longer flight put in.”

Since 1996, the Warriors have played four different opponents at three different grounds in Perth for a combined record of 0-7.

They have faced the Sea Eagles there once before, losing 24-22 at Subiaco Oval in 2012 after blowing a 16-point lead.

Hoffman made the trek last year in his first season with the Warriors, playing in a 36-4 defeat to South Sydney at nib Stadium, the venue for Saturday’s match.

games, the club have moved up to seventh on the ladder.

“We always knew it was there,” Hoffman said of the team’s change in fortunes.

“It was just chipping away at the rock to find what was going to work for us.

“We feel we’ve found that, but we’re always looking to evolve.

“We’re not satisfied with what we’re doing.

“We’re not satisfied with how we’re playing.

“We’re pleased, but we know there’s improvement in us.”

The Sea Eagles are down in 13th place, but they have a formidable record against the Warriors, having won 10 of the last 11 meetings, including the past four.

Warriors skipper Ryan Hoffman.

The second rower doesn’t envisage doing anything different to counter the effects of the travel.

“We get prepared well physically,” he said.

“It’s just making sure the individuals prepare mentally.”

Hoffman returns to the side after missing the Warriors’ last match with a virus.

After a run of four wins in five

Warriors: David Fusitua, Ken Maumalo, Blake Ayshford, Solomone Kata, Manu Vatuvei, Thomas Leuluai, Shaun Johnson, Jacob Lillyman, Issac Luke, Ben Matulino, Bodene Thompson, Ryan Hoffman, Simon Mannering.

Disrepectful snub leaves Origin simmering Cameron Smith has delivered an ice cold rebuke to NSW over a ‘disrespectful snub’ that did not go unnoticed in the Queensland camp.

Several NSW players turned their back on the Queensland captain as he was addressing the crowd during the official postmatch Origin Shield-presentation ceremony at ANZ Stadium.

Players, including Blues captain Paul Gallen, had already walked away from the centre of the field towards the fans and family members sitting in the front row when Smith was in the middle of his speech congratulating the Blues for their victory in the series finale.

The snub was captured by the Channel 9 cameras and broadcast live.

Smith and Maroons coach Kevin Walters admitted the snub was not something they would be proud of.

Origin spectators were a lot more angry at the treatment the Kangaroos skipper suffered.

Gallen blew off the questions over his team’s action after the match, but Smith was not prepared to just forgive and forget.

“It’s something our team wouldn’t do,” Smith said.

He did not elaborate on that stinging one line.

Walters also slammed the Blues involved in the walk out.

“That’s extremely disrespectful,” he said.

Maroons star Johnathan Thurston initially tried to deflect questions about the snub, but then declared it was a “disrespectful”.

Miracle try wins Origin Match winner Michael Jennings declared NSW could look to the future with a smile after the Blues sent out retiring skipper Paul Gallen victorious, defeating Queensland 18-14 in Wednesday night’s State of Origin game three at ANZ Stadium. Jennings scored with just 78 seconds on the clock in a spiteful clash before 61,267 fans in which Maroons halfback Cooper Cronk and NSW forward Andrew Fifita were sin-binned. “It was a pleasure to send Gal out like that,” Jennings said. “We can look forward to next year with some positivity now.”

Inglis cops 3-week ban Greg Inglis has been suspended for three NRL matches after pleading guilty to a grade-two shoulder charge which left Josh Dugan with a broken jaw. The South Sydney captain was slapped with the charge for the second-half hit which flattened the NSW centre in Queensland’s 18-14 Origin III loss to the Blues at ANZ Stadium on Wednesday night.

- AAP

Origin ref slammed Former referees boss Bill Harrigan has blasted the performance of whistleblower Gerard Sutton in Origin III and says he wouldn’t have selected him. Sixteen penalties were blown in the match, the equal-second most in an Origin match since 1996. “When you get into a State of Origin you’ve got to have a feel for the game and an empathy for the game,” Harrigan, who refereed 21 Origins, said. “And I just think that Gerry didn’t have that feel last night.”

- AAP

Moylan on the move It was the State of Origin selection gamble that could change the course of Matt Moylan’s career. As NSW celebrated their 18-14 win, Moylan revealed how he is now eyeing a career move into the halves after ensuring Laurie Daley’s fiveeighth experiment paid big dividends. Daley’s decision to play Moylan alongside James Maloney came despite the NSW coach insisting during Origin build-up that Jack Bird would start the game. - AAP

Raiders lose Baptiste

Blues skipper Paul Gallen “didn’t notice” that his team snubbed Cameron Smith.

“I don’t want to get into a slinging match here, but it was pretty disrespectful I thought,” he said.

“I think that just typifies what this (NSW) team is about.

“Like I said, I don’t want to get into a slinging match here, but I thought it was very disrespectful.

“Smithy is sitting at the top of the tree for the amount of games he has played. “(Considering) the respect he deserves, I thought it was very disrespectful what they did.

“They got the result in the end and probably didn’t deem it disrespectful to walk off like they did.”

He said the act has put fire in his team’s belly for 2017.

Thurston then had a crack at Blues star Andrew Fifita for his moment of madness when he was sent to the sin bin for an offthe-ball grab on Gavin Cooper’s melon.

“That’s just another sign of what that team is about,” he said.

“Officials dealt with it and sinbinned him, but it just typified what that team is about.

“They got the result tonight, but the shield is still in Queensland for another 12 months.”

Walters said after the game the series finale the Origin concept remains as heated as ever.

“You expect that with Origin,” he said.

“I read some articles in the paper today about how Origin has lost its flavour.

“It’s a physical game.

“There is going to be some spite.

“Everyone gives as good as they get, pretty much.”

Gallen brushed off the incident.

“I didn’t even notice,” Gallen said when asked if he had planned to snub Smith during his opposite’s trophy acceptance speech.

“We did what we had to do and then we thanked the fans.” - AAP

Hard-working Canberra hooker Kurt Baptiste is facing up to six weeks on the sideline with a foot sprain suffered in Monday’s NRL win over North Queensland. The back-up rake’s injury came in the final minute of the match at GIO Stadium, which pushed the Raiders to within one point of the top four. Prop Paul Vaughan suffered concussion in the same game but is expected to be cleared to play the Warriors on Saturday week, following the Raiders’ bye. - AAP

Police probe Eels deals NSW Police have reportedly established a taskforce to investigate deals as part of Parramatta’s NRL salary cap scandal. Fraud squad detectives will look into a range of potentially serious crimes including money laundering and fraud. No players are understood to be under investigation. Tampering of key documents, including invoices and financial records, will also be investigated after the NRL began its investigation into the club. - AAP

■ GOLF

Johnson eyes Claret Jug The last six British Opens held at Royal Troon have been won by Americans and Dustin Johnson, the hottest player in golf, looks like he has all the credentials to send the US into seventh heaven this week.

Not only did the big-hitting 32-year-old follow up his victory at last month’s US Open by capturing the prestigious WGCBridgestone Invitational title in Ohio, he also has a good record to boast about in the world’s oldest major.

Johnson has finished in the top 14 in four of his seven trips to the British Open and came within a whisker of landing the coveted Claret Jug in 2011 when he wound up in a tie for second place behind Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke.

“He has a lot of spotlight on him this week because he has won the last two events he’s played and they’ve been pretty big events,” Australia’s world No.1 Jason Day said ahead of the Open, which started overnight.

“He’s typically played pretty well in the Open championship so he’s obviously going to be a very tough guy to beat.”

Johnson’s surge to second in the world rankings has come as a surprise to some.

His namesake Zach Johnson, however, believes it was always destined to happen.

“He’s a supreme athlete and it just so happens that his sport for all of us, unfortunately, is golf,” said British Open title holder Zach.

“Not many guys can do what he does.”

Day’s form has also been pretty spectacular, having triumphed seven times in the past 12 months to rise to the summit

Peter Burling and Blair Tuke are the hunters rather than the hunted for once. They’re second overall after the opening day of 49er racing at the South American sailing championships in Rio. Burling and Tuke claimed a seventh and eighth before finishing the day with a bullet to be one point behind the British leaders.

- NZME

Cowboys top rich list The Dallas Cowboys are the first sports franchise worth US$4 billion (NZ$5.5b), according to Forbes.

In its annual rankings, Forbes placed the Cowboys ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona after the NFL team had a 25 per cent increase in value. Champions League winner Real dropped to the second spot at $3.65 billion, followed by its archrival Barcelona at 3.55 billion.

The Australian suffered a nearmiss last year when he ended up in a share of fourth place at St Andrews.

Winning a first British Open is clearly number one on Day’s list of immediate priorities but hanging on to top spot in the rankings comes a close second.

“I think the stress of being number one in the world is a motivating factor for me just because I don’t want to lose it,” he said.

“It’s really important for me to make sure I stick to my processes and do all the hard work I can to try to stay there for as long as I can.”

Jordan Spieth won the US Masters and US Open in 2015 and is almost certain to figure prominently on the Troon leaderboard.

The other member of the socalled ‘Big Four’ of world golf, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, is pleased to be back at his home Open after being sidelined last

year because of an injury he sustained while playing a friendly game of soccer.

“I guess it’s the start of a new chapter for me in the Open championship,” said the 2014 winner.

“It was very disappointing to miss last year but I’m determined not to miss any more for the foreseeable future and it’s great to be back and have another chance to win another Claret Jug,” added world No.4 McIlroy.

Yesterday the 47-time Scottish champions Celtic travelled to Gibraltar to take on reigning Gibraltarian champions Lincoln Red Imps for the first of two legs of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. Playing in front of the 5000-capacity Victoria Stadium, the Scottish club were stunned by the semi-professional side, coming up short in a 1-0 loss in what is being regarded as one of the most embarrassing losses in Celtic’s 128-year history. - Reuters

Cahill in big demand Tim Cahill appears close to joining the A-League, with reports he’s agreed in principle to sign with Melbourne City and news that FFA boss David Gallop has met his management. The veteran Socceroos’ striker has been strongly linked with City for months, amid speculation about his future, as he nears the end of his contract with Chinese side Huangzhou Greentown. FFA has pulled out all the stops to get Australia’s most-marketable face to the competition.

Barber wants Rio spot

Total Russia Rio ban unlikely, says Bach

By Mitch PhilliPs IOC president Thomas Bach says athletes from one sport should not be punished for the sins of those from another as he downplayed speculation Russia could be banned from the Olympics altogether for systematic doping.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is due to issue a report on Monday covering its investigation into allegations that a Russian state-run system helped doped athletes escape detection at the Sochi Winter Olympics of 2014.

Travis Tygart, head of the United States’ Anti-Doping Agency, is one of several people who have said that if the report does confirm the allegations of systematic doping are true then Russia should be banned from the Rio Olympics.

Russia’s track and field athletes are already banned as a result of

Tuke, Burling second

Thomas Bach, head of the International Olympic Committee. state-sponsored doping.

However, Bach, head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), said: “It is obvious you cannot sanction a badminton player for an infringement of the rules by an official or a lab director at the Winter Games.

“In the same way we would not

consider sanctioning all athletes from a particular sport if there is manipulation of the rules by the leadership of a federation.

“What we have to do is take decisions based on facts and to find the right balance between a collective responsibility and individual justice.”

Bach said he did not want to speculate about what measures could be taken until there is evidence of any proven infringement.

He added that the IOC was aware that several federations had already begun carrying out extra targeted tests on Russian athletes and made sure that their samples are tested outside the country in a bid to build confidence in the results.

Russia’s weightlifters are also facing a blanket ban from Rio over doping but Bach said the IOC has not yet confirmed a series of failures from re-tests of samples given at the 2008 and 2012 Games.

Belarus and weightlifting superpower Kazakhstan are also banned from the Rio Olympics, pending IOC confirmation after 17 weightlifters re-tested positive, while Bulgaria is already banned.

Kiwi race walker Alana Barber will go to the Sports Tribunal if she’s not added to the New Zealand track and field squad for the Rio Olympics. Barber has posted two B standard qualifying times but failed to secure an A standard that would have guaranteed her Olympic ticket. She says she won’t let the matter rest if she’s not selected. She says she would fight for it and knows her coach would back her as well.

Aussies aim for top five After announcing the last of Australia’s 410 Olympians going to Rio, team boss Kitty Chiller admits they face a tough task to fulfil their aim of a top-five finish on the medal table. But Chiller says she’s confident the team sports as well as the swimmers, sailors, rowers and track cyclists can help bring home the 15 or 16 gold medals likely to be needed to make the top five. “That’s double the number of gold medals we won in London (2012). For any country to double the number of gold is a huge ask. I genuinely believe we can do it,” Chiller said.

In brief Canes change midfield An injury to centre Matt Proctor has forced the Hurricanes to change their midfield for their match against the Crusaders in Christchurch tomorrow. Ngani Laumape will start at second-five, with Willis Halaholo moving out one place to centre following the hamstring injury to Proctor, suffered in the team’s victory over the Waratahs in Sydney. Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd said he was comfortable the combination would perform well against the Crusaders.

Messam a starter Liam Messam will start his first Super Rugby game in more than a year when the Chiefs visit the Highlanders tomorrow night. The loose forward will take his place at No 8 for a crunch clash that could determine the fate of the New Zealand conference, providing a timely boost for the front-running Chiefs. Having been overlooked for the New Zealand sevens side heading to Rio, Messam made himself available and was last week immediately injected into the squad. And after 40 minutes in the record romp over the Reds, Messam has been deemed ready to tackle the Chiefs’ biggest game of the season.

Cup final berth on the line

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The final day of round-robin Watters Cup rugby is upon us as Southern, Rakaia and Celtic vie for automatic progression to the 2016 final.

The team that places highest on the points table will stake an instant claim to a final berth while the second and third place finishers will have to play off to secure a final spot next Saturday.

Southern lead the charge after inflicting a damaging defeat on

Rakaia a week ago and remain the competition’s only unbeaten team.

Michael Ellis’ men secured a 42-34 win, and are now at the top of the ladder on 15 points.

Southern will host fellow cup contenders Celtic in Mayfield tomorrow in what has the makings of a thriller.

Celtic sit second on the table thanks to a superior points differential to Rakaia, but coach Shane Enright has been forced to reshuffle his injury-blighted squad.

The greens will be missing halfback Ta Lisala, wing Ben Faasavala, second five Matt Winter, halfback Alex So’oialo and midfielder Steve Paese through injury, while hooker Neil Thompson is overseas.

Meanwhile, Southern’s only loss is halfback James Hastings, who is nursing a small fracture in his wrist.

Enright’s side dealt with Hampstead and Methven in their first two Watters Cup outings before losing out to Rakaia, but a bonus

point win tomorrow would blow the final standings wide open.

In the day’s opposite clash, Methven will host Rakaia.

After contrasting seasons in both the Combined Country Competition and Watters Cup, most would consider the tie a mere formality – but Methven will be itching to end their frustrating season on a high.

Watters Cup round five: Methven v Railway, Methven Domain, 2.45pm.

Southern v Celtic, Mayfield, 2.45pm.

Bye: Hampstead

Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium has sold out for the Highlanders clash with the Chiefs tomorrow.

The playoff destiny of both rugby teams is due to be decided by the result, and the crowd will be more than 23,000. It is the second successive home game where all tickets have been snapped up.

It could be the final game at home for head coach Jamie Joseph, who is off at the end of the season to coach Japan.

Waratahs focus on defence

By AdriAn WArren NSW Waratahs will focus on defence first and insist they won’t rush into chasing a bonus point as they attempt to break a three-year Australian drought in tonight’s critical Super Rugby clash against the Blues in Auckland.

With only the Australian conference winner to make the playoffs, the Tahs go into the final round level on points with the Brumbies, who lead them on total wins and are expected to win comfortably against the Western Force at home on Saturday.

For all their inconsistencies in recent times, the Blues haven’t lost at home to an Australian team since May, 2013.

They have also averaged over three tries a game at Eden Park this year.

So it’s little wonder the Tahs leaders are focusing on winning by any margin and making defence a priority.

“The big thing we spoke about this week is it’s alright to score tries, but you’ve got to stop the opposition from scoring tries if you want to win by three,” Waratahs’ coach Daryl Gibson said at Sydney Airport yesterday.

“Our focus has largely been around defence and making sure that’s strong, because if you’ve seen the Blues’ attack they are very dangerous.

“They’ve got obvious threats across the park, so if you’re not stopping them you’ve got no chance of a bonus or winning the game.

“To go there with a mindset that we’re just going to play helter-skelter rugby would be foolish.

“Our first priority is to win the game and then search for that bonus point, but we certainly won’t be playing sevens.”

NSW have only ever won two games at Eden Park and just one out of nine Super Rugby fixtures there.

Waratahs captain Michael Hooper, who has never won at Eden Park at Super or Test level, said a victory by any margin tonight would put pressure on the Brumbies.

“Our theme for the week is pressure, the things we can do and that in turn will pressure the Brumbies,” Hooper said.

He made it clear he wouldn’t necessarily opt to kick for touch and look for tries rather than kick for goal from penalties.

“I think penalty goals are going to play a big part in this game in the instance because we will be able to pressure the Blues,” Hooper said.

He emphasised the Tahs would look to use the full width of the field more than did they did in last week’s loss to the Hurricanes.

15/7 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): It’s a day to be assertive.

If you don’t ask, you won’t get. If you don’t leave a voicemail, they won’t call back. Make the first gesture and then make the next one.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Like a feral creature you meet in the wilderness, a surprise powerful force is coming into your life. This wildcat has a gift in its mouth. Tame the lion and the gift is yours.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Just because the words sound smart or zip with wit doesn’t mean they are true. Honesty will come in unassuming tones today.

Results will come from acting on quiet truths.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Things feel different on the other side of a goal. Success changes opinions.

Expect this when people you know get in a winning position. Expect this of yourself after your victory.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Laughter is medicine, too much of what makes you feel better will make you feel worse. Contemplation, meditation and a gentle look at the state of things are called for – no spin.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Life is going fast. In the blur of events, important details could get lost.

Stop, calm down. Remembering the lessons of the past will give you more power going forward.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The universe will be like a chiropractor to your soul, quickly twisting and pushing to snap you back into the proper alignment.

Everything will fall into place with a crackle and pop.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Have you noticed how they keep coming to you with their problems?

Stop cultivating their helplessness or you’ll soon be exhausted by the drain of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The fun will involve some physical risk. If it doesn’t get you breathing deeply and sweating, it won’t be as much of a thrill.

The less you hold back, the more you’ll smile.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The one who helps you also hurts you. You’re the only one who can decide if the way this weighs out makes it worthwhile to you in the end. For now, just be aware with your scale on the ready.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Many heroes are drawn to help others and know how to do it well because they themselves have been, at one time or another, victims. And if you feel like more of a victim than a hero right now, this will soon turn around.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The other generations need you. You bring a joy to their lives that can’t be duplicated by anyone else. The time you spend with someone older or younger will be received as the precious gift it is.

No zika worries Unlike her male counterparts, golfer Lydia Ko has expressed little concern about the zika virus ahead of the Rio Olympics. Ahead of the latest LPGA tournament, the 19-year-old New Zealander was asked if the zika virus was a big concern going into next month’s Olympics in Brazil. “It’s not something I’ve been really worried about,” Ko said on the eve of the Marathon Classic. “I truly believe that if it was so dangerous that we couldn’t compete and it wasn’t right that I’m sure they would pull us off in the first place. We’ve got the world’s best experts there handling all the situations, so as an athlete perspective, I think it’s right for us to believe and trust them.”

Young swimmers impress

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Three Jennian Homes Ashburton swim team members were put through their paces as part of the 2016 Canterbury Tri Series Squad on Wednesday.

Fifteen-year-old Bailey Tait, 14-year-old Jared Scammell and 13-year-old Bree Middleton joined up with 33 other agegroup swimmers from across

the Canterbury West Coast region.

The series began at Jellie Park in Christchurch, where the 36 swimmers were put into three teams of 12, before moving on to Selwyn Aquatic Centre followed by the EA Networks Centre.

Over two sessions each day the swimmers competed in 12 individual races and six relays in all.

The Tri Series Tour is not fully focused on results, though, but rather improving skills and techniques collectively.

The Canterbury silver and bronze squad members were introduced to different training and racing environments, as well as coaching styles and competition pathways.

Tour director Dave Pratley said he was impressed by the

Ashburton trio’s attitude and performances throughout the three events.

“They all stepped up and did very well,” he said.

“Bree actually got an individual award.

“She achieved the most personal bests with 10 out of her 12 races, and Jared and Bailey contributed hugely to their team too.”

Leuluai leaving Warriors with no regrets

BY DAVID SKIPWITH Departing five-eighth Thomas Leuluai is sad to be leaving the Warriors but says the time has come to put family first after years of making football his first priority.

Leuluai will exit the Warriors at the end of the NRL season after being granted a release from the final year of his contract on compassionate grounds to allow him and his English-born wife Natalie and baby daughter to re-

turn to the United Kingdom.

The 31-year-old has re-signed with his former Super League club Wigan on a deal that will see him take up an assistant coaching position when he finally hangs his boots up.

With his future settled, he remains determined to finish his time at Mt Smart Stadium on the right note and exit the NRL with no regrets.

“When you’re younger your decisions are all about yourself but as you get a family and you get

Origin simmering after Blues’ snub P15

older your decisions are about your family,” explained Leuluai.

“It’s a great relief for my wife and myself. It was always our plan to go back at some point so just with having a baby I thought it was time.”

Leuluai is grateful for the sacrifices Natalie has made since the couple moved to Auckland in 2013, allowing him to rejoin the club he started his career at as an 18-year-old a decade earlier.

Eight seasons playing in the

northern hemisphere gave him a fresh outlook on life and football, but a burning desire to return to finish some unfinished business in the NRL could not be ignored.

“I really wanted to come back and play some good football back here,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to getting back to Wigan and finishing at a club that has a great history.

“I would love to stay on but I know this is the right decision for us and our future.” - NZME

Easy call for Savea All Blacks and Hurricanes loose forward Ardie Savea has inked a new twoyear deal with New Zealand Rugby and the Hurricanes, recommitting through until 2018. The 22-year-old, who made his All Blacks Test debut against Wales during this year’s Steinlager Series, said it had been an easy decision to re-commit to New Zealand Rugby and the Hurricanes.

“I’m loving my rugby right now at all levels of the game and I’m excited about the future with both the Hurricanes and, if I’m good enough to be selected again, the All Blacks.”

Netball MVPs named Melbourne’s Madi Robinson and Southern Steel’s Jhaniele Fowler-Reid have been named MVPs for their respective conferences of the transTasman netball league. The New Zealand award for Fowler-Reid sees her become just the second player to claim three MVP awards after her rookie season in 2013. “This time last year I was about three months post-surgery and only starting to run,” Fowler-Reid said. “I’d been watching the netball thinking just how much I wanted to play but couldn’t, so to now get that call was pretty amazing.”
