Water-bottling company NZ Pure Blue says access to rail is as important as access to water in their multi-million dollar proposal for the Ashburton Business Estate.

Bobby kill for Fairton?

$16m rail hub move? ‘We’ll pay’

The company that wants to set up a water bottling plant in the Ashburton Business Estate is prepared to pay around $16 million to relocate the town’s rail hub so it can move its product.

The Ashburton District Council has given NZ Pure Blue an extension on the purchase of Lot 9 so it can work through the deal with KiwiRail.

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay said the extension, until September 30, was to formalise arrangements for moving the railway shunting yards from the centre of town north to the business estate.

If it goes ahead, NZ Pure Blue will also buy the balance of Lot 8 and Lot 7 (land set aside for railway development) on which to build the new rail hub.

The council has been trying for more than a decade to move the rail hub, but the cost has always been a sticking point.

NZ Pure Blue managing director Roydon Hartnett said having access to rail was just as important as having access to water.

The company plans to build a plant, make its own bottles and fill them with water that will be exported from the Port of Timaru to overseas markets.

The proposal has attracted criticism from people who do not want water going offshore when underground aquifers in the region are under pressure.

He plans to release details about how the consent to abstract 45 litres per second will be managed next month and says there could ultimately be wins for the environment.

Mr Hartnett said he spoke to a full table of councillors a fortnight ago and asked for the extension. “KiwiRail, though interested, did not have a budget to move the siding so we will be paying for the land and building the new site.”

It would be business as usual for local companies who use the siding and pay to have their containers lifted on to rail wagons.

He said having access to rail transport was a logistical necessity for NZ Pure Blue, whose aim was not to compete with New Zealand businesses already selling bottled water in this country but to build a community-focused plant employing local people and selling offshore. A 24hour operation, with three shifts, would create at least 100 jobs; jobs would range from CEO to forklift drivers and laboratory staff.

The business plan has been a work in progress for eight years, but there was a lot of misinformation about the project, he said.

■ SILVER FERN FARMS

No decision over Fairton bobby calf kill

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Silver Fern Farms is not in a position to confirm whether the bobby calf kill will come back to its Fairton plant this season.

Yesterday a worker at the plant said he had heard rumours the calf kill was scheduled to return to the company’s Pareora works, in a deal to run a seven-day operation with a 2pm starting time for workers for the six-week season.

Fairton was the hub of the region’s bobby calf processing for a number of years but lost the contract last season after failing to reach an agreement with Silver Fern Farms over weekend work and penal rates.

The shift meant about 200 staff usually employed over the bobby calf season, which gets under way next month, were out of a job until later in the season when the prime lamb kill began.

At the time Silver Fern Farms chief executive Dean Hamilton cited the central locality of the Pareora plant as a factor in the company’s decision, however New Zealand Meat Workers and Related Trades Union Canterbury secretary Bill Watt disputed the claim.

He said the decision was made after Fairton staff voted against

A spokesperson for the meat processing company confirmed talks with both plants were under way.

“We are still in discussions with both sites as we work through our options,” he told the Guardian yesterday.

“We have not yet made a decision on processing (bobby calves) for the coming season.”

■ RADIUS MILLSTREAM

Local MP to open resthome, hospital Ashburton’s new 80-room resthome, hospital and dementia facility, Radius Millstream, will be opened by Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew on Friday with more than half the beds already taken.

Next door to Lochlea Lifestyle Resort, Millstream will be run by the country’s largest privately owned aged care provider, Radius Care, and was founded by Ashburton businessman Les Briggs.

Interest in Millstream has been running high since the facility started advertising earlier in the year and Radius special projects manager Helen Somers said it was already 60 per cent occupied.

Millstream offers 40 hospital beds, a secure 20-bed dementia wing, and a 20-bed rest-home/ hospital wing.

Ms Somers said Millstream would bring a new standard of elderly care to Ashburton with a full suite of state-of-the-art facili-

ties including community centre and outdoor entertainment area.

“We have worked hard to create a real community feeling at Millstream that encourages independence and offers a particularly welcoming environment for our residents’ families and friends.

“The level of care will be second-to-none with fully qualified, expert residential and dementia staff and all meals will be cooked in-house with menus designed by a City and Guild qualified chef.”

She said residents had plenty of private spaces to share special time with their visitors and a community centre with a range of activities.

Radius Care has over 21 facilities and employs over 1400 staff throughout the country.

Work on a block of assisted living apartments next to the Millstream has also begun.

WorkSafe inspectors at NZ Pure Blue to pay for rail hub move CLEARING THE AIR scene of serious accident WorkSafe inspectors were yesterday at the scene of a logging accident off Rakaia River Road.

An investigation is under way about what caused a bulldozer to roll down a steep slope where trees were being milled.

A contractor was seriously injured in the incident on Tuesday and is in Christchurch Hospital after being airlifted from the site, on the banks of the Rakaia River near the gorge bridge.

A WorkSafe spokesperson said no more details would be released

until the investigation had been completed in several months’ time.

The 23-year-old contractor sustained serious injuries.

The forestry industry has been working to improve worker safety over the past three years and Government’s health and safety inspectors have been visiting logging operations targeting the two causes of the most harm in the industry, the actual felling of the trees and the movement of them to loading sites.

From P1 “We had no intention of selling water in bladders or using road transport, which means the site had to have rail access and now we can take ownership of the costs associated with the siding.

“Although we will own the land and building, it is our commitment to the district council that the siding will be open for all businesses.”

He said nothing would change for existing rail users, but the public would no longer have long waits at crossings in town while freight was being moved.

“KiwiRail are fully backing our initiative and involved with the

design, along with our rail consultants, to make sure it meets KiwiRail and Ashburton’s future requirements.”

Mr Hartnett said when KiwiRail made it clear funding was not in their budget to relocate the siding, the company took it on.

■ SILVER FERN FARMS

In brief

Canty Coldstore to close Silver Fern Farms plans to upgrade its coldstore facilities at its Pareora site, in South Canterbury, and close its leased Canterbury Coldstore.

Silver Fern Farms Chief Executive Dean Hamilton said the achievements the company has made in inventory management has meant the company does not require as much cold storage as it has in the past and

therefore it makes little sense to redevelop what are old facilities on the leased site when the company is redeveloping existing cold storage at its owned Pareora site.

“With the $5m redevelopment of our Pareora plant to accommodate new venison processing, which we announced last month, we will be upgrading our cold storage and blast

freezer space. During the planning of this redevelopment it has become clear that we no longer require the storage space at Canterbury,” Mr Hamilton said.

The Canterbury Coldstore is on leased land which is part of the Belfast Business Park.

The company plans to close the site and is consulting with the 28 staff and their union to

discuss the proposal and transfer options within the company.

“Our people at Canterbury are needed in our company and we want to retain their skills and experience.

“We have options for them at our Belfast beef plant, at our Fairton lamb plant and at Pareora which we will discuss with them as we work through the consultation process.”

■ NORTHLAND

Police nab record $448m meth haul Police aren’t ruling out the possibility an international drug ring is at work after Northland officers made the largest meth seizure in New Zealand history.

Three men charged in connection with the methamphetamine haul have appeared in Kaitaia District Court.

The trio, aged 19, 26 and 31, are charged with possession of methamphetamine for supply and importing methamphetamine Judge Sharp remanded the men in custody till July 6 and granted interim name suppression.

Worth nearly $500 million, police found the 448kg of P in the back of a campervan. The discovery came after members of the public reported suspicious vehicles in the area, and people trying to launch boats off the Far North’s west coast.

Northland police district commander superintendent Russell Le Prou said their investigation so far hadn’t shown evidence of an international deal.

“This is without a doubt, the largest seizure of methamphetamine in New Zealand,” Mr Le

Hunting competition

The abandoned boat on 90 Mile Beach that led to the recordbreaking methamphetamine haul.

Prou said. “We received notification of suspicious behaviour in the past few weeks, and that has allowed us to get to this point.”

Police said observant locals called police after noticing the occupants of several vehicles acting suspiciously in the area for the past fortnight, and trying to launch boats off the west coast.

Early on Sunday morning police found a boat abandoned on 90 Mile Beach, with a number of mesh bags on board.

They began searching for a Toyota Prado and a rental campervan, as the occupants had been seen trying to launch boats in the

area.

Members of the public told police that the men driving the campervan and the Toyota had been offering large amounts of cash in exchange for help to launch the boats.

While police were on 90 Mile Beach recovering the boat, the Toyota Prado drove past. The driver failed to stop for police and a pursuit began. The vehicle stopped a short distance away at the Ahipara Golf Course.

A 31-year-old man and a 26-year-old man from Auckland were arrested and taken to the Kaitaia Police Station.

Several hours later, police stopped the campervan at Totara North.

In the back, officers saw what appeared to be numerous bags of methamphetamine.

The 19-year-old driver and the campervan were taken to the Kaitaia Police Station, where a further search of the campervan found numerous suitcases and bags.

Inside the suitcases and bags were dozens of resealable plastic bags containing methamphetamine.

Mr Le Prou says the seizure outstrips the total 334kg of methamphetamine seized in New Zealand last year.

“Wherever this methamphetamine was headed, it was going to cause harm, and it’s thanks to the Kaitaia community, who were not going to tolerate this, that we’ve managed to stop the harm from this massive haul of meth,” he said.

The methamphetamine has since been removed from the Kaitaia Police Station and investigations are now under way into where it came from.

■ ROAD SIGNAGE CHANGES

Signs upgraded at crossings KiwiRail will install stop signs at Hatfield Overdale Road, the site of several fatal crashes in the past few years.

The rail company has been assessing 33 crossings in Mid Canterbury as part of a national survey to make sure they meet new health and safety rules.

The Hatfield Overdale Road crossing is currently controlled by a give way sign.

Ashburton District Councillor Neil Brown said he had been campaigning for stop signs there for the past five years.

Three people have died on the crossing since 1980 and it has been the scene of several serious injury accidents.

“Three or four people have been killed at that crossing. It is good to see the stop signs going in but I’m not happy that other stop signs are being replaced with give way signs.”

KiwiRail is proposing to change some existing stop signs at other

crossings into give ways.

Cr Brown said all rail crossings should have stop signs. “We should not be dictated to by Auckland about our stop signs and give way signs. Let them take us to wherever they need to take us ... a train is still a train, busy road or not and you should be stopping at a railway line.”

Council roading manager Brian Fauth said a pedestrian crossing at Rakaia had also been flagged for work.

“We are being told that the pedestrian crossing at Rakaia will need $6000 worth of design work so people can cross at that point safely.”

Stop signs will replace give way signs at Wards Road and Coplands Road.

Give way signs for traffic leaving the state highway and stop signs for traffic approaching the state highway will be installed at Lovetts Road, Tilsons Road, Frisbys Road and Giddings Road.

■ TEINA PORA COMPENSATION

$2m payment for 22-year wrongful imprisonment Teina Pora is set to receive more than $2 million in compensation for wrongful conviction and imprisonment.

Justice Minister Amy Adams has called a press conference for today to make an announcement about the case.

While her office would not reveal any details, it is understood that the Cabinet yesterday approved compensation for Mr Pora.

The base rate for compensation in wrongful conviction cases is $100,000 a year.

Mr Pora spent 22 years in prison, meaning he stands to

receive more than $2 million – the largest-ever payout by the Crown.

In March 2015, the Privy Council quashed his convictions for the 1992 rape and murder of Susan Burdett.

A month later, his legal team made a formal claim for compensation.

Because a retrial was not ordered, Mr Pora qualified for a payout.

In June 2015, Ms Adams said Mr Pora’s claim merited further assessment and she referred it to former High Court judge Rodney Hansen.

Mr Pora went through two trials, three Court of Appeal hearings and, finally, the Privy Council process.

The Privy Council ruled: “The combination of Pora’s frequently contradictory and often implausible confessions and the recent diagnosis of his FASD [fetal alcohol spectrum disorder] leads to only one possible conclusion and that is that the reliance on his confessions gives rise to the risk of a miscarriage.”

Mr Pora is now living with family at a farm in Taranaki.

■ ROAD SAFETY FEARS

School speeds assessed

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

An assessment into road safety outside several Mid Canterbury schools will now be considered by the New Zealand Transport Agency.

An NZTA assessor visited Ashburton Borough School’s town and Lagmhor sites, Ashburton Christian School, Carew Peel Forest School, Longbeach School and Tinwald School last week following a plea to council from the Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association (MCPA) to lower the speed limit around all schools in the district.

Earlier this year sent MCPA a request to council to create a 40km/h speed limit outside all schools due to concerns over the danger of the current speed limits, some being 100km/h.

Longbeach School principal Neil Simons said the assessor spent several hours at his school last week and was able to witness a number of speed issues before school.

“He admitted that it would be worse at 3pm with everybody coming at the same time.”

The assessor was able to talk to staff about the issues and identi-

Social Housing Minister Paula Bennett yesterday phoned and apologised to Te Puea Marae chairman Hurimoana Dennis, a police inspector and iwi liaison officer. A member of her staff told a journalist that Mr Dennis was under police investigation. Marae spokeswoman Moko Templeton told the Herald that Mr Dennis had the full support of the marae board. She felt the leaking of the details about Mr Dennis was a smear.

fied the dangers of the school being situated on an intersection of two 100km/h roads, Mr Simons said.

NZTA assessed the five schools deemed to be the most high-risk in Mid Canterbury as part of a national project looking into school road safety options.

Following the assessments a

report and recommendations will be made which will be considered by council who will discuss further options in regards to safety measures with the MCPA. Mr Simons said he hoped that council would consider NZTA’s report alongside MCPA’s request for a 40km/h speed limit to en-

sure the safety of all children in the district. “I really do believe 40km/h would work.

“For us the bottom line is the safety of the students, we just want to make sure everyone is safe.”

MCPA will continue to liaise with council to come up with a workable solution.

■ SOFTWARE TIPS TRIP

Co-operative trip to Chicago By linda ClaRke

Linda.c@theguaRdian.co.nz

Phone 03 307 1990 Level 2, 73 Burnett St, Ashburton www.visioninsurance.co.nz

In brief

Ashburton Trading Society boss Neal Shaw has been sharing software tips with co-operatives from around the world in Chicago.

Mr Shaw was an invited speaker at a conference for co-operatives using LBMX software, software designed by a Canadian firm that has been a game-changer for ATS. ATS was the first company in the Southern Hemisphere to use it to process transactions of its members at suppliers from both their physical addresses and online interfaces.

Mr Shaw said co-operatives in the northern hemisphere used the flip-side of it, because their members were suppliers not customers.

Before installing LBMX in Ashburton, it took 12 ATS staff three days a month to manually process about 50,000 transactions. Now, five staff complete the task in a day.

Mr Shaw said the software had been a big time-saver.

“The system will handle 50,000 a month or 500,000 a month, so we were future-proofing the business. But we are using it in a very different way to co-operatives in the Northern Hemisphere.”

He said ATS had some 20,000 members using its Ruralco purchasing card and the co-operative was trying to work smarter. The conference was also a good opportunity for networking with some large businesses in the United States.

“There was a lot of talk about connectivity and the use of online business models and what that means for retailers with a physical presence.”

The challenge for them was generating a positive buzz for shoppers who used them.

The trip wasn’t all smooth sailing, Mr Shaw’s luggage went missing at the airport and he temporarily “lost” his passport in a taxi.

A woman knocked out after falling from a horse on a farm at Tumunui, south of Rotorua, was safely airlifted to hospital yesterday. The BayTrust Rescue Helicopter was dispatched from its Rotorua base to the farm to transfer the unconscious 55-yearold Tauranga woman to Rotorua Hospital. Before she was moved to the rescue aircraft, the woman was made comfortable and monitored by other horse riders who were involved in a hunt at the farm.

The woman was in a stable and comfortable condition upon arrival at Rotorua Hospital.

by Education Minister Hekia Parata comes after the Post Primary Teachers’ Association (PPTA) had taken legal action, which saw the Employment Relations Authority rule that the Teach First scheme had been breaking the law. - NZME

■ ROAD SAFETY POSTER COMPETITION

Posters to send strong message

BY RUBY HARFIELD

RUBY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Concerns over student safety on buses around Methven has led to a school poster competition.

Students at Lauriston School, Methven Primary School, Mount Hutt College and Our Lady of the Snows School have been asked to create posters to remind drivers that it is the law to slow down to 20km/h when passing a school bus.

The competition opens next Monday and will last for two weeks with the winning posters from each school being printed and distributed around the community.

Methven Primary School principal Chris Murphy, who is also on the Methven Area Bus Committee, said the idea for the competition came about after Mount Hutt College Year 12 student and bus monitor Mia Birt raised a few safety issues in regards to people not slowing down.

The committee decided one of the ways they could help raise awareness of the law was to create the competition to put posters up

around Methven.

Most of the people who are not slowing down past buses tend to do so because they aren’t aware of the rules, he said.

“I think it’s a really good opportunity.

“We thought if we had posters around it would help.”

Mia, who is also one of the organisers of the poster competition, said she had been a bus monitor for a year and a half and frequently noticed people driving too fast.

“It’s kind of dangerous especially with it getting darker in the mornings and the little kids can be hard to see.”

The poster competition will be a good way to get the message across that people need to take the speed seriously.

“It’s our safety, something needs to be done about it.”

Students from all four schools can participate in the competition with A4 posters needing to be handed in to their school office by Friday, July 1.

The winning students from each school will receive a prize.

There is a restricted speed limit of 20km/h when passing school buses.

Easy access to guns the problem Michelle Nelson

T

he scenes of despair and heartbreak flashing across our screens in the wake of the massacre in an Orlando nightclub earlier this week continue to reverberate around the world.

US President Barack Obama described the shootings as acts of terrorism and hate.

That, combined with easy access to military style weapons, was exactly what motivated 29-year-old New York born Omar Mateen, however it also stirred the simmering cauldron of those who blame Islam for terrorism.

Notwithstanding the grief the families and friends of the 49 people who lost their lives in the attacks, Prime Minister John Key was quick to point out the numbers killed in mass shootings in the US is a tiny proportion of the number who die through misuse of guns every year.

There seem to be never-ending stories of children shooting siblings, toddlers shooting their mothers from the back seat of the family car and other tragedies involving firearms coming out of the US. Needless to say it took very little time for presidential hopeful Donald Trump to begin firing salvos at those of the Muslim faith.

It seems he never misses an opportunity when it comes to hate speak, and he’s not afraid to jump on any conspiracy train that passes.

Amidst the fallout and grief from the nightclub killings, Mr Trump has again waded in with racist rhetoric, threatening to ban immigration from any part of the world which has a history of terrorism against the US. Overlooking the fact the gunman was a New York native, the would-be president publicly railed about his being admitted into the US. Whatever the catalyst for the latest mass shootings were, we can’t blame religion.

The US has a long history of such atrocities committed by people from all backgrounds – the common denominator is ready access to military-style weapons.

It seems a no-brainer to link the high rate of gun-related deaths with the country’s constitutional right to carry firearms.

It is very easy to get hold of deadly weapons to kill innocent people and it seems there’s no stopping that train now, with so many guns already in circulation.

ext week is National Volunteer Week (June 19 to 25) and having attended the TrustPower Ashburton District Community Awards on June 7, I wish to dedicate my column this month to all those people who give their time and efforts to helping others and the community they live in.

I believe strongly that our district could not survive without the efforts of our volunteers.

Volunteers are at the heart of every community – dedicating hours of time and energy every year to making their community a better place to live.

Volunteering is about more than making cups of tea. It is a bit of a Kiwi tradition, with hundreds of thousands of people creating positive change on many fronts – human rights, faith communities, health, education, sports and recreation, social services, arts and culture, emergency services, the environment and conservation, animal welfare and community support development – the list is endless.

New Zealand is a leading nation in the contribution made by volunteers and is ranked in the top 10 worldwide for volunteering our time.

A 2008 study of our non-profit sector estimated that volunteers make up 67 per cent of the nonprofit workforce equal to 133,799 full-time positions, representing 6.4 per cent of the economically active population.

New Zealand volunteers contribute more than 270 million unpaid hours of work valued at over $3.3 billion to non-profit organisations.

In Ashburton the list of volunteer groups is impressive. Groups like Friends of the Ashburton Hospital and Tuarangi which won the Health and Wellbeing category at the Trustpower awards ceremony. These volunteers go above and beyond to ensure that a patient’s stay at the Ashburton Hospital is a pleasurable event. They are the friendly faces behind the tea trolleys,

Crack a smile.

■ UNITED STATES

Shooter ‘club regular’ Omar Mateen was a regular at the gay nightclub where he murdered 49 people and injured 53 more, witnesses have claimed.

Mateen, who was armed with an assault rifle and handgun, entered Pulse nightclub in Orlando and opened fire, killing and injuring dozens before a SWAT team knocked down a wall of the club and shot him.

But that wasn’t the first time he’d been there, the Los Angeles Times and the Orlando Sentinel report.

One regular at the club said he had seen Mateen, whose father claimed he was very homophobic, at least a dozen times there before the massacre.

“Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself,” Ty Smith, who also uses the name Aries, told the Sentinel.

“Other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent.”

One club regular told the Los Angeles Times that he frequently messaged Mateen on a gay dating app called “Jack’d”.

Remarks that Mateen drank heavily conflict with his apparently strict adherence to

Omar Mateen: Seen at Pulse ‘at least a dozen times’. his Muslim faith, including regular worship at a mosque in his home town of Port St. Lucie – where he was quiet and kept to himself.

Smith said he’d seen Mateen at Pulse “at least a dozen times”, joining three others who said they’d seen the shooter at the club before.

“We didn’t really talk to him a lot, but I did remember him saying some things about his

dad at times,” Smith said.

“He told us he had a wife and child.”

Mateen had in fact been married twice before his death.

His first wife, Sitora Yusufiy, met him online in 2009 and married him soon after.

But she sought divorce in 2011, after he turned violent.

“After a few months he started to beat me,” she said.

“He was mentally unstable...

he was obviously disturbed.

“I know he had a history of [taking] steroids.”

He then married Noor Zahi Salman, with whom he had a son.

The pair got a mortgage together in 2013, but they were living at separate addresses when he went on his rampage.

Mateen’s father, Seddique Mir Mateen, denied that the attack had anything to do with religion, and said his son had become enraged after seeing two men kissing in Miami months before.

Classmate Samuel King said Mateen was not homophobic when he knew him in the year after their 2004 graduation.

“What is shocking to me is that the majority of the staff at Ruby Tuesday’s when I worked there were gay,” he said.

“He clearly was not anti(gay), at least not back then.

“He did not show any hatred to any of us.

“He treated us all like the individuals we were. He always smiled and said hello.”

King, who characterised Mateen as friendly and talkative, said: “Something must have changed.”

Meg Ryan presented at the Tony Awards yesterday, and her “new look” shocked many viewers. Ryan, who has taken something of a hiatus from the film industry, introduced a performance by the cast of She Loves Me. The 54-yearold’s dramatically different appearance quickly became a hot topic on Twitter.

Ryan addressed plastic surgery rumours last year in an interview with Porter magazine. “I don’t pay a lot of attention frankly,” she said of what’s written about her. “There’s a lot of hatred in the world today, it’s so easy to judge. Imagine being a hater, how stupid! My women friends are not sitting around talking about ... well, sometimes there are conversations like that, but the people I value talk about kids growing up, what kind of world they are going into, what we are eating, what we are breathing.”

Apaches join battle to capture Mosul

BY THOMAS GIBBONS-NEFF As Iraqi forces backed by US support engage Isis across multiple battlefronts in Iraq, Defence Secretary Ashton Carter announced that American Apache helicopter gunships had been used in combat for the first time since President Barack Obama authorised their use in April.

Speaking to reporters during a flight to a meeting of Nato ministers in Brussels, Carter declined to go into details about the operation but said the strikes were in support of Iraqi forces battling Isis (Islamic State) outside Mosul.

Several Apaches were involved in the attack, but only one fired, striking a vehicle, according to a senior defence official.

The AH-64 Apache is an Army helicopter and often flies in pairs.

The use of the Apaches comes as Iraqi forces are making modest gains into Fallujah, one of the first major urban areas seized by Isis two years ago.

Around Mosul, Iraqi forces are slowly putting pressure on the city from the south and northeast.

AH-64 Apache helicopters patrol the skies over eastern Afghanistan. ity to carry a payload of Hellfire missiles, the Apache is an aircraft well suited to provide close air support for troops on the ground.

Used extensively in Iraq prior to the US withdrawal in 2011 and the rise of Isis, Apache gunships were last used in the country in 2014 to help beleaguered Kurdish units fighting for the Mosul Dam. In 2015, the Pentagon had offered the use of Apache gunships to Iraqi forces attempting to retake the city of Ramadi.

At the time, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi turned

down the offer, and Iraqi forces were able to retake the city without them.

In April, however, after meeting Carter, Abadi approved their use to help retake Mosul.

In conjunction with Abadi’s approval of the Apaches, Carter also announced the deployment of 200 additional US troops to help advise their Iraqi counterparts, in addition to more rocket artillery.

Currently there are roughly 5000 US troops stationed in Iraq.

Significantly larger than Ramadi, Mosul fell to Isis in

Since then, the city has turned into Isis’ largest stronghold in Iraq and is believed to be well fortified.

Obama has anticipated that the conditions will be set to retake Mosul by the end of the year, and Pentagon officials have recently been eager to to show that Iraqi ground forces are making strides to make that assessment a reality.

Billy Ray Cyrus is as famous for his 90s mullet as he is for his hit song from the same decade, Achy Breaky Heart.

And he’s kept up a long tradition of interesting hairstyles ever since. But his latest effort, debuted at last week’s CMT Music Awards, may be his most outrageous yet. Is it a mullet? Is it a beehive? Is it a strange, new hybrid of the two styles? Either way, this is definitely one to file away in the hairdon’t category, gents.

Hey Hey it’s the Monkees The Monkees, the band invented by American television in reply to Beatlemania and the British invasion in the 1960s is bringing a 50th Anniversary tour to New Zealand. The group heading to Auckland and Christchurch in November will feature two of the original members, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork. The tour announcement follows last week’s release of the band’s new studio album, Good Times, a set of songs written by Monkees fans including Weezer’s River Cuomo, Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller as well as tracks dating from their 1960s heyday and original Monkees writers like Carole King and Neil Diamond. The band’s three surviving members Dolenz, Tork and Mike Nesmith, now all in their seventies take turns at singing lead on the new album.

Ana-Marie Lockyer, general manager funds and insurance at the ANZ, said the key thing people were looking for was flexibility.

“KiwiSaver is a 30-40 year savings commitment – people’s circumstances will change over this sort of time frame.

“Ideally, we would enable people to increase their contributions to KiwiSaver when they get a pay rise or pay down their debt.

“Equally, some people might prefer to reduce their contributions to 1 per cent or 2 per cent of their pay when money is tight.”

Lockyer said the only option

at the moment was for people to stop contributing altogether for a few years.

Around 125,000 Kiwis are on contribution holidays but in total about 40 per cent of KiwiSaver’s 2.6 million members do not contribute to it on a regular basis.

While a large group of the noncontributors are likely to be children, once the under 18-year-olds are removed there is still a group of about one in four adults who are signed up but not putting any money in.

Goldman Sachs ‘paid for the prostitutes’ ya’s giant sovereign wealth fund, it was claimed.

Details of the extravagant hospitality allegedly heaped upon officials from the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA), set up in 2006 to invest the country’s oil riches after economic sanctions were lifted, emerged yesterday.

Pop star James Blunt’s society wife Sofia Wellesley is set to be called as a witness in the court case that will shine a light on Goldman

Sachs’ dealings with Libya’s £46 billion wealth fund.

On the first day of a legal battle at London’s High Court, Goldman Sachs was accused of exploiting the financial naivety and trust of Gaddafi-era officials into investing in complex financial instruments during the financial crisis.

One Gaddafi official, on discovering the vast losses, described Goldman as the “bank of mafiosa”.

‘More flexibility needed’

Goldman Sachs hoodwinked Libyan officials in Colonel Gaddafi’s ruthless regime into investing more than £800 million (NZ$1613 million) by plying them with prostitutes, lavish parties and luxury trips, a UK court has heard.

Brokers at the world’s most powerful investment bank paid for high-class escorts, business travel, five-star hotels and tickets to a Rugby World Cup game in a bid to generate business from Lib-

The prospect of space travel pioneer Rocket Lab launching a rocket locally before the end of this year has spurred the government to set up a regulatory regime to cope with the issues that are out of this world.

in this market and at this stage, we are not prepared to move forward without that support,” the company said.

The news came as BurgerFuel posted a net loss of $1.1 million in the year ended March 31, from a profit of $532,000 a year earlier, it said.

The loss was in line with directors’ expectations and was largely due to money spent on the planned US entry.

Operating revenue rose 9 per cent to $20.3 million, largely comprised of long-term recurring royalties and sales, while operating expenses increased 20 per cent to $21.4 million.

BurgerFuel now has 78 restaurants, 47 of which are in New Zealand.

■ KIWISAVER

Almost half of the people questioned in a survey would increase their contributions to KiwiSaver by 1 per cent – backing moves by the government’s money help service to make the savings scheme more flexible.

ANZ bank questioned 2000 people and found 20 per cent would definitely increase it while a further 27 per cent would likely do it at some point in the future.

Currently employed KiwiSaver members can choose to contribute either 3, 4 or 8 per cent of their pay.

Extra payments can be made to a person’s KiwiSaver accounts but the member has to organise it directly with their KiwiSaver provider.

That has led to concerns over KiwiSaver’s inflexibility and whether it is stopping people contributing more money or contributing any money at all because the minimum is too high.

■ Place the flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse once to distribute the salt evenly, then add the butter (chilled and diced) and pulse until the mix resembles fine crumbs. Add the water and pulse once or twice, but don’t allow the mix to form a ball.

Turn out onto a clean bench and knead lightly to bring it together.

Form into a ball and chill for at least 2 hours (the dough can be frozen for later use).

■ On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to 4mm thick.

Place in a 30cm-long tart tin and trim. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

■ Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prick the base with a fork, cover with baking paper, fill with dried beans, rice or ceramic beans, and blind bake for 20 minutes.

Remove the paper and beans and cool on a rack before filling.

■ To make the filling, trim the

leeks, discarding the tough green part, then wash well and slice thinly. Melt the butter in a large saucepan, then add the leeks and sauté for five minutes.

Cover with a lid and steam the leeks for five minutes over a low heat until soft and uncoloured.

Mix in the chopped thyme leaves and olives.

■ Lightly beat the eggs and crème fraîche until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Place the leeks in the tart shell, pour over the egg mixture and top with the cheese. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes or until just set. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting.

and cocoa powder. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until only just combined. Stir in milk and vanilla.

■ Place the plums into the bottom of a 20 x 25cm baking dish and cover with the pudding mix. Make sure the dessert only comes about two-thirds of the way up the side of the dish as this dessert can overflow.

■ Stir together the brown sugar, white sugar, and cocoa powder.

Sprinkle over the top.

■ Heat the juice from the plums ei-

ther in the microwave or on the stove top until hot. Just before putting the dish into the oven, carefully pour the hot syrup over the back of a spoon on to the mixture.

■ Bake for 40 minutes. Dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream or ice-cream.

■ ASHBURTON SOCIETY OF ARTS

Award-winning Ireland’s work back for annual exhibition Waimate-based artist Robert Ireland is one of the guest artists at this year’s Ashburton Society of Arts’ annual exhibition.

Ireland’s name has appeared regularly on the exhibition’s list of winners over the years – he won the premier award in 2005, a merit award in 2008 and the Trustpower water and nature award last year. He earned judges’ commendations in 2011 and 2012. He was also a guest artist in 2006.

The fulltime artist is inspired by the work of the romantic painters of the past and his works are now held in many private and public collections, including the Wallace Arts Trust and the Aigantighe Art Gallery and Museum.

Ireland was born in 1973 in Timaru, but with family from Dunedin he has a strong connection with Otago and childhood memories of staying at his Nana’s farm at Tunnel beach. He is drawn to and draws inspiration from the landscape and his work has been described as impressionistic landscape-abstracts.

Ireland’s art has evolved since he started painting seriously in 2001.

He was fortunate to learn from some of New Zealand’s leading artists, including Paul van den Bergh, Michael Armstrong and Jason Greig and after graduating in 2004 with a Diploma of Painting from Aoraki Polytechnic Art School.

Unearthed artefacts on display at arts centre open days A bottle claiming to contain a cure for baldness and scientific glass instruments thought to date from the 1800s are among hundreds of artefacts unearthed during the Christchurch Arts Centre’s restoration.

A selection of the artefacts will be on display at the Great Hall public open days this weekend when the hall opens to the public for the first time since the earthquakes.

The arts centre works closely with Underground Overground Archaeology to ensure great care is taken during the restoration of the historic site.

Archaeologist and artefact spe-

cialist Jessie Garland said at least 200 items have so far been found.

Among the finds is a bottle that once contained a hair restorative product that claimed, among other things, to cure baldness – despite being mostly made up of alcohol.

“It was also advertised as a cure for all manner of maladies, including ‘diseases of the skin, glands, muscles, pimples, chilblains ... cuts, bruises, sprains, burns and scalds’.

“The scientific glass instruments are a fantastic find. Although I can’t confirm a date for them yet, they do look to have been free blown, which would

suggest a 19th Century or early 20th Century date.”

The public open days run from 10am to 4pm both days, with the public able to enjoy some of the artefacts, along with hands-on family activities, live music, giveaways, competitions and displays.

Arts Centre CEO André Lovatt said the Great Hall was a community space and the open days were a way of welcoming people back to what was essentially their building.

Restoration of the Great Hall recently won the Christchurch Heritage Trust Supreme Award for its sensitive seismic strengthening work and attention to detail.

In brief Following her dream Former Ashburton College basketballer Tessa Morrison has signed with Southern New Hampshire University in America. Morrison is a member of the Canterbury Wildcats and left Ashburton at the start of 2015 for Christchurch Girls’ High School so she could finish her schooling while attending the Mainland Eagles Basketball Academy.

She was a member of the academy’s Las Vegas tour team last year.

Southern New Hampshire, in Manchester, fields a team in the NCAA’s division two basketball competition and Morrison will pursue a bachelor’s degree while following her dream of playing basketball in the US. She leaves at the end of August.

Charlie off to France?

All Blacks and Blues prop Charlie Faumuina has signed with Toulouse and will join the club next year, according to a French newspaper.

Midi Olympique has reported the 29-year-old, who played his 34th test for the All Blacks in last weekend’s 39-21 victory over Wales, will join the club after next year’s Super Rugby season. The paper said Faumuina would replace Manu Samoa prop Census Johnston.

Valiant effort falls just short

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Martin Nordqvist has been the standout of the Mid Canterbury contingent so far at the 67th National Indoor Bowls Championships in Mount Maunganui after narrowly missing out on Masters’ Singles honours.

The Masters’ crown eventually went to Taranaki’s Andrew Brun-

ton after a tightly contested final in which Nordqvist lost out 9-7.

Nordqvist paved his way to the final with a convincing 15-6 victory over Roslyn Irwin in his quarter-final clash before seeing off Auckland’s Carroll Smyth 1210 in the semis. In the opposite semi-final tie, Brunton booked his place in the final by toppling Bay of Plenty’s Derek Owen 8-6.

Fellow Mid Canterbury players Michael Lawson, Simon Thomas, Matt Markham and Grant Wilson qualified for the first round of open grade post-section play but failed to progress.

Wilson lost out 12-8 to Rochelle Hastie while Thomas was knocked out by Paul Wright (11-9) and Lawson and Markham were accounted for by Jess Moffat (11-

10) and Greg Edwards (8-7).

Upper Hutt’s Ashley Diamond went on to add another singles title to his collection after getting the better of Auckland’s Paul Wright 13-10 in a close-fought final.

The 29-year-old has now won the national singles twice and the fours and pairs, bringing his tally of titles to four in all.

History against the Blues in Origin II NSW insist they are unfazed by their poor scoring record as they travel to Suncorp Stadium next week and attempt to save the State of Origin series.

Not only are the Blues under pressure trying to avoid their 10th series loss in 11 years, they must do so at “The Cauldron”, an unhappy hunting ground for them for over a decade.

In the wake of NSW’s 6-4 loss in the series opener, questions are being asked about their ability to score enough points to avoid yet another series defeat.

Not only are Queensland buoyed playing at the old Lang Park, but the Blues have struggled to get over the tryline there.

Since 2006, Queensland have won 10 of 13 matches at the ground and have scored over 24 points on eight of those occasions.

NSW have done so just twice.

Also, the Blues have only scored more than four tries, at any venue, just once since Daley took over in 2013, raising questions about the potency of their attack.

While NSW fans might be wondering where they are going to find find some spark, Daley claimed to have no such concerns.

“If we played conservatively, then obviously Queensland did then as well,” Daley said of the game one scoreline.

“One try each and we probably had more opportunities than what they did.

“We created more offloads than what we have ever created before. Our execution wasn’t great but it doesn’t faze me or worry me.”

Daley resisted calls to draft in

noted attackers James Tedesco and Bryce Cartwright, saying he avoided making unforced changes because there was one day less to prepare for game two.

NSW fullback Matt Moylan (right) admitted he didn’t know whether Daley would drop him in favour of Tedesco and noted he needed to eliminate the couple of costly errors under the high ball which marred his Origin debut.

Moylan pointed to the Blues’ glut of possession in the Queensland danger zone in game one as a sign that they were not far off and was confident they could convert that into points.

“I think there were opportunities that we had in that last game that we didn’t take,” Moylan said.

“In Origin you don’t get too many chances. We’ve got to try to be a bit better in that area.”- AAP

Rousey gets a rev-up It’s been seven months since Ronda Rousey suffered the first loss of her MMA career when she fell to Holly Holm at UFC 193 as the victim of a vicious second round head kick knockout. Since that time, Rousey has sent mixed messages about her future in the sport while pushing back her return to action, but her next fight may not happen until 2017.

UFC commentator Joe Rogan pinpointed the ways she fell short last November; the first on his list was her numerous commitments in Hollywood that had the former champion signing movie deals, book deals and all kinds of other opportunities that took her head away from the fight game. - NZME

England set for Pakistan England Test skipper Alastair Cook believes his batsmen are well prepared to deal with Pakistan’s fiery attack next month after getting plenty of practice in the middle against a weakened Sri Lanka side.

England crushed Sri Lanka 2-0 in the three-Test home series, facing little resistance from a team shorn of frontline pacemen Dushmantha Chameera and Dhammika Prasad through injury at stages during the tour. However, Cook’s side can expect a far-bigger challenge from a formidable Pakistani pace attack, spearheaded by left-armers Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz.

Burgess cleared of injury Sam Burgess feared the worst, for the second time this season, when he injured his collarbone in South Sydney’s loss to Wests Tigers.

However the dual international has declared himself a certain starter for the Rabbitohs’ crucial clash with Parramatta on Friday, after scans showed he has suffered no structural damage. “Initially I thought I had broken my collarbone,” Burgess said. “My arm went dead right away, right down to my fingers.

But I will be right for this weekend.

I trained today and I will be out there Friday night.”

In brief Stepping stone for Kawi Multiple Group One winner Kawi won’t be chasing all the spoils at next season’s Hawke’s Bay spring carnival. “He might be there for one of the earlier ones and when the money gets serious in Melbourne we’ll try our luck there – he’s certainly good enough for it,” trainer Allan Sharrock said.

In brief Bench again vital Having made a major impact in Auckland, the All Blacks bench will this week again be tasked with turning the final quarter into an intensely painful 20 minutes for Wales. Wales are at the end of a long, hard Northern Hemisphere season and will almost certainly struggle to find the energy they need to take their game to a higher level in Wellington. “Games are won in the last half,” says All Blacks prop Wyatt Crockett. “We all want to start, but at the same time, we know we have got a really important role because generally the tough test matches are won in that last half hour.”

England’s mean streak

Wing attack Jemma Frew receives a pass during Southern’s 23-23 draw with College last week. Southern will face United tomorrow while College play first against Celtic and Methven lock horns with Hampstead.

College a big threat to Celtic

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The final match day of round two in the Premier Grade Netball competition is upon us and is set to offer up some exciting clashes.

Celtic and Ashburton College will kick off proceedings on the ACL Court with both teams in strong form.

Celtic downed Methven 31-29 in their last outing, and, in doing so, ended the reigning champions’ unbeaten run this season.

But, despite having fallen to a

convincing 33-14 defeat the last time they faced Ange Leadley’s greens in April, College will have plenty of confidence when they take to the court tomorrow.

College’s form in round two has been in direct contrast to the results they produced in round one.

Ange Mitchell’s side were beaten by Celtic, Hampstead and Methven in their first three ties of the last round, but they’re unbeaten in their last three outings of this round.

United and Southern will contest the evening’s second match on the ACL Court.

Since their promotion, Southern have posted a win, two losses and a draw, while United remain the only team to have not recorded a win in the second round.

Anne Gilbert’s team will be determined to register a victory with the business end of the season just around the corner.

On the Vetent Court, Hampstead will face a wounded Methven.

After losing for the first time this season a week ago, Greta Currie’s ladies will want to send a clear message to their premier grade counterparts, but Hampstead will be out to take their opportunities following a clinical display against United last week.

Premier Grade Neball fixtures: Celtic A v Ashburton College A, 6.30pm, ACL Court. United A v Southern, 7.30pm ACL Court.

Another winning streak goes on the line

By Cameron mCmillan From one cauldron to the next.

With the All Blacks currently holding a winning streak on home soil that now stretches to 39 tests, it’s no surprise many grounds have gone years without witnessing an All Blacks defeat.

Saturday’s 39-21 victory over Wales maintained the All Blacks’ streak at Eden Park which goes back to 1994.

Now it’s onto Westpac Stadium, which wasn’t even a twinkle in the Wellington Waterfront’s eye back then but a home defeat in the capital is almost as rare.

The All Blacks have lost just twice at the Cake Tin in 19 tests.

Australia scrum-half Nick Phipps insists Eddie Jones’ snarling England are more confrontational than the team he faced at the World Cup last autumn. Phipps started at No 9 in the Wallabies’ record 33-13 victory at Twickenham in October and the 39-28 defeat in Brisbane on Saturday, a result that has left the hosts trailing 1-0 in the three-Test series. Phipps noted that antagonism in the tourists at Suncorp Stadium. “They were definitely more confrontational than in the World Cup, but that’s Eddie isn’t it .... he brings out the best in teams,” Phipps said. - AAP

They were defeated in the first ever test at the ground by Australia courtesy of a late John Eales penalty in 2000.

Three years later, Jonny Wilkinson led an impressive England side to a 15-13 win.

The All Blacks have gone undefeated in the capital since that England loss, a winning streak that sits at 14.

During that time, they have beaten Australia, the Lions, South Africa, France, Ireland, Canada and Argentina. Wales could join that list on Saturday.

Wales have won at the capital before in 1987... against Ireland.

They also played South Africa at the Stadium at the 2011 World

Kieran Read: One of the few All Blacks to taste defeat at home.

Cup, losing the group clash.

This will be their first clash against the All Blacks in Wellington, having played in Christchurch, Auckland, Hamilton and Dunedin on previous tours.

The All Blacks are also looking

to maintain their home winning streak (how many games), which goes back to the September 2009 defeat to the Springboks in Hamilton.

During the same timeframe, South Africa have lost eight tests at home, France 10, Australia 12 and England 13.

Wales have lost 21.

Papua New Guinea come close to equalling New Zealand’s record, having lost just once at home since 2009 and winning eight.

Kieran Read, Jerome Kaino and Owen Franks are the only current All Blacks squad members who have tasted defeat on home soil.

- NZME

The Wallabies have shrugged off England coach Eddie Jones’ criticism of their line-out but Tatafu Polota-Nau has promised their set piece will be in much better shape for the second Test in Melbourne. Jones attempted to heap the pressure on the Wallabies in the wake of the 39-28 seriesopening loss in Brisbane, saying Australian skipper Stephen Moore would be worried about his team’s line-out and scrum. “He can throw some criticism ... obviously there were times it didn’t work but that’s rugby,” reserve hooker Polota-Nau said yesterday.

Contracts expanded The return of Ish Sodhi and Colin Munro, and the maiden appearance of Henry Nicholls and George Worker are the features of an expanded, 21-strong Black Caps contract list for 2016-17. Sodhi, Munro, Nicholls and Worker replace Brendon and Nathan McCullum, who have both retired from all international cricket, and Grant Elliott – now only available for T20s.

Italians take out Belgium Italy produced a tactical masterclass to defeat a high-fancied Belgium side 2-0 in yesterday’s European Championships clash in Lyon.

Emanuele Giaccherini scored the opening goal in the 31st minute, controlling a magnificent long pass from Leonardo Bonucci to slot home. It was a thoroughly deserved reward for Italy, who neutralised the supposedly superior individual skills of Belgium.

Blatter witnessed game draw rigging

Mechanic

Disgraced former FIFA president Sepp Blatter says he’s witnessed, but never personally engaged in, rigging of draws for soccer tournaments.

Blatter made the explosive comments in an interview published by Argentine publication La Nacion yesterday, where the 80-year-old spoke about the practise of cooling and heating balls during a draw to sway the outcome.

La Nacion asked Blatter about the 2014 World Cup draw, which was extremely favourable for Argentina.

“The draw was clean down to the last detail,” Blatter said.

“I never touched the balls, something that others did.”

“Of course it’s possible that the balls can be hot or cold and signalled in that way.”

Blatter then elaborated on how the cheating would actually work.

“Balls are put in the freezer before the draw, at the slightest touch you can tell if the balls are hot or cold.

“By touching them you know exactly what you have,” he said.

Although admitting being a witness to

PUBLIC NOTICE

PUBLIC LIBR ARY E VENTS

Road closure

eBooks and eReaders are growing in popularity, but what are eBooks and eReaders? Come along to the Ashburton Public Library’s eBook sessions and find out.

One hour sessions are being run by library staff every week and this is a great opportunity to discover what eBooks are all about, ask questions and try to solve any problems you may be experiencing. Tuesday afternoons 2pm - 3pm.

Ashburton District Council gives public notice of a road closure for the purpose of allowing the Ashburton District Council to hold “Ashburton College Road Crash Day” (with the exception of emergency vehicles) for the period indicated hereunder. Road to be closed: •

Middle Road, from Belt Road to Creek Road

Period of closure: •

From 7.30am until 10.30am on Friday 17 June 2016.

This notice of closure is made under the Local Government Act 1974 - Schedule 10 (11 (e)). It will be an offence under the above regulations for any person otherwise than under authority of an authorised permit to use the roads / streets for ordinary vehicular traffic during the period of closure.

ROADSIDE SHELTERBELTS Ashburton District Council is urging property owners with overgrown roadside shelterbelts to trim them back and remove problem trees. These trees can shade rural roads making them icy and dangerous to drive on. Look out for our safer winter driving tips infographic in this week’s issue of District Diary or on our website.

Our free ice scrapers and cloths have proven to be extremely popular and supplies are running low. Only cloths remain available around Ashburton - check out our website for a full list of where you can find one.

Last year there were no winter weather related fatal accidents in the Ashburton District. Lets keep it that way!

SCHOOL ZONE DRIVING

MAR Open Day

The Ashburton District Council is reminding drivers to slow down around schools and school buses as winter driving conditions set in.

The speed limit is 20km/h when passing a school bus that is stopped to drop off or pick up children and the rule applies whichever direction you’re travelling in.

New Zealand Transport Agency rules state that school speed zones have a 40km/h limit on school days at school drop off and pick up times at both ends of the school day. With winter approaching, icy and wet road conditions will increase the stopping distances and all drivers need to be mindful of this.

15/6 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): People who go to work merely to earn money are thinking much too small.

The work you’ll do today is an opportunity for you to express yourself. The nature of the job doesn’t matter; every job is an expression of your spirit.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The mistake was honest, but that doesn’t make it all OK. Forgive but take the time to examine and make a plan that will prevent the same problem from happening in the future.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Get the hard work out of the way first. Handle that phone call you’re dreading or an unpleasant bit of tedium. There will be something juicy to escape into this afternoon.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ve admiration for the people you’re close to. You choose them for a reason, and that reason will be apparent as the day unfolds.

Your life gets easier with each positive thought.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It takes guts to ask for what you need, and the more you need or want the thing the harder it is to ask for it. That’s why this afternoon’s move is remarkable – valiant even.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Love shouldn’t hurt this much. Maybe what you’re going through isn’t really love at all. It’s about working out power dynamics.

Don’t worry; it doesn’t have to be solved in a day.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Someone has taken a liking to you and wants to see where the relationship will lead. It will get there fast as circumstances roll your common needs and interests together.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Maybe you’re not where you want to be, but you’ll get there. There are taller peaks to climb. Enjoy your current elevation.

Life doesn’t have to be all struggle and striving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll get calm and centred, and you’ll think about what’s best for the whole community, realising that it doesn’t matter who is first or last. What matters is that everyone is taken care of when it’s needed most.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There are these small acts that go against what you’re trying to achieve. Mostly, this is about habits and/or unhelpful patterns of thought you really don’t need anymore. You’re ready to give it up.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Knowing what to ignore is important today. You can’t take it all in – or even take most of it in. With every selection you make, you’ll be building a signature style.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your friends won’t disappoint you. You have been so faithful and loyal and constant. They only want to give you the same.

Let them take care of you for a change.

Sport Rooney calls for calm Threatened with being kicked out of the European Championship because of fan violence, England coach Roy Hodgson and captain Wayne Rooney have appealed to supporters to behave. Video messages were published yesterday, one day after UEFA warned the English and Russian soccer federations that the teams risk being disqualified for a repeat of days of disorder which blighted their opening match in Marseille on Sunday. England was responding to UEFA’s request to make a public declaration.

Cavs push it to Game 6

BY JANIE MCCAULEY Booed every time he touched the ball, LeBron James cut through Golden State’s defence and made layups look easy.

Dunks and 3-pointers, so smooth, too.

And Kyrie Irving also completely had his way with the Warriors.

King James and Irving thoroughly overpowered the defending champions from every spot on the floor, and the Cavaliers are still alive to chase that elusive championship.

The unflappable, determined-as-ever James had 41 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists, Irving also scored 41 points and Cleveland capitalised on the absence of suspended star Draymond Green, staving off NBA Finals elimination with a 112-97 victory in Game 5 yesterday.

James and Irving became the first team-mates to score 40 points in an NBA Finals game as the Cavaliers pulled within

3-2 and sent their best-of-seven series back to Ohio.

“We’re just happy we got another day. That’s all we can ask for,” James said.

“We got another day to survive.

“We’re going to start preparing tonight, start preparing tomorrow and whenever Game 6 is we’ll be ready.”

Take that, haters.

James has much more to say about these playoffs before he’s done – and not with his mouth, even as the criticism came from all directions following his Game 4 tussle with Green and reaction to what he considered the Golden State forward’s inappropriate words.

James was booed again as the Cavs left the court for their locker room, but thousands of fans had already made for the exits minutes earlier.

Cleveland handed Golden State just its fourth defeat all season at sold-out Oracle Arena, denying MVP Stephen Curry and the Warriors a chance

Less Hollywood recommended P15

to celebrate this title with their golden-clad “Strength In Numbers” supporters.

Now, Curry and Co. must try to win on the road, just the way the Warriors did last year and also in their only other championship season out West in 1975.

The Warriors will get Green back on Thursday as they try again for that repeat title.

“I kind of like our position,” coach Steve Kerr said. “... I like our position a lot better than theirs.”

Banned from the arena, Green watched from a baseball suite in the Oakland Coliseum next door, joined by Golden State general manager Bob Myers.

The All-Star forward was suspended for his fourth flagrant point of the postseason.

He was assessed a retroactive Flagrant-1 for his swipe at James in the fourth quarter of Friday’s Game 4.

Tied 61-all at halftime Monday, the Warriors missed 14 of their first 20 shots out of in-

termission and shot 7 for 24 in the third as James and the Cavs grabbed command by doing all of the little things on both ends of the floor — the very intangibles Golden State desperately missed without Green’s highenergy presence on both ends.

James jumped in the passing lanes to create defensive havoc, flipped passes around and got open.

Klay Thompson scored 37 points with six 3-pointers and Curry added 25 points with five 3s, seven rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots.

But as the game wore on, the Splash Brothers shot airballs and clanked 3-point tries off the front rim.

The Warriors often failed to get a hand in the face of Cleveland’s shooters.

“We weren’t very good defensively,” Kerr said.

“We obviously knew we were without Draymond, so there’s no point in harping on that.

“We had to play better, and we didn’t.”

A four-win haul on the second day of the Nelson Harness Racing Club’s Winter meeting has Gavin Smith poised to record his best ever season in the sulky. Smith, a former winner of the national junior drivers’ championship, picked up six wins over the two days of racing at Richmond Park including a double with the Bruce Hutton-trained Ideal Arden, who claimed the Nelson Winter Cup after winning the prelude on Friday. With 57 wins on the board for the season, Smith is one win shy of his personal best of 58.

Best to come from T-Rex Tony Williams is adamant his best NRL seasons are ahead of him after returning to his barnstorming best in Canterbury’s controversial win over St George. Williams’ bizarre role in Will Hopoate’s crucial second half try garnered plenty of post-game headlines, but so did the stellar performance of the man known affectionately as T-Rex in his return from reserve grade.

Williams is unlikely be at the Bulldogs next year, and interest among other clubs is said to be lukewarm. But the former representative forward believes he still has plenty to offer.
