A Ruapuna couple is worried by the prospect of living near a 15m high pond wall, whose water is pitched to benefit the entire region.

Consultation has begun on Rangitata Diversion Race Management Limited’s (RDRML’s) proposed Klondyke Storage Pond, a 3 million cubic metre facility on 240 hectares of land adjacent to the Rangitata River.

Three proposals of varying sizes are on the table, however RDRML chief executive Ben Curry said Government has asked the water transporting company to build for the future water demand.

Liz Macalister and Chris Olley, who live across the road from the proposed site, were at a public meeting in Hinds yesterday, to talk over their concerns with the project team.

They are not opposed to progress, but are concerned about the impact the storage pond will have on their lives. “We are okay with the smaller option, but the big pond would mean less sun and more dust and noise for us during the construction phase,” Mr Olley said.

The couple had only recently learned a water outlet would cross their dryland property.

“We live right across the road, where the ... wall will be 15 metres, further down it will be 27 metres high,” Ms Macalister said.

“Imagine the noise, dust and vibrations during the construction phase.

“There is also the issue of safety, being so close ... if there’s an earthquake – and concerns about the cost of insurance, or obtaining future building consents to consider,” Ms Macalister said.

Landscape architect Stephen Brown said layering the bunding around the reservoir to step down would go some way toward mitigating the visual impact of the structure.

Shelterbelt plantings and re-vegetation using native species would also help soften the impact.

“The landscaping will ideally be in keeping with what’s already there, and tie into the river environment, so it becomes a seamless part of the river environment,” Mr Brown said.

“I think it can fit in with the existing terracing.”

Mr Curry said yesterday’s meeting is part of a wider public consultation programme RDRML was undertaking in the lead up to applying for consent to build the new pond.

Sky TV ups charges before RWC Sport fans will be forking out more money to watch the upcoming Rugby World Cup on Sky TV. The company has announced it will change the cost of its Basic and Sport packages. The price increase, which goes into effect on June 15, will see the cost of Sky Basic increase by $1.15 and Sky Sport by $1.61. The rising costs were due to the increasing cost of content, Sky TV spokesperson Kirsty Way said. “The cost of content in today’s very competitive market is increasing and costing us a lot more to purchase.” In 2013, Sky TV lost the rights to screen English Premier League football. However, Sky says the increase in cost of the sport channel is justified. The current costs are $48.07 a month for Sky Basic and an additional $26.68 for Sky Sport. After the increase, these will rise to $49.22 and $28.29 respectively.

Lucky bugger What might be New Zealand’s most sought after number plates - BUGGER - has been sold for $34,100 on Trade Me yesterday. The NZ Transport Agency and Personalised Plates put the auction up to raise funds for Surf Life Saving New Zealand. The auction - which attracted a lot of attention from traders - saw a flurry of bids come in near the end of the auction, which closed just before 9am.

Surf’s up for Air New Zealand Air New Zealand has teamed up with some of the world’s hottest surfers for its latest safety video. Among those on the Safety Safari video are past and present world champions, New Zealand’s best surfers, a big wave legend and two of the world’s most popular women surfers on social media. It was filmed in Malibu, California, on Australia’s Gold Coast and at Raglan and Piha in this country around mid-March.

Air New Zealand head of global brand development Jodi Williams said filming had to be completed within a tight window as the crew had to work around the nine surfers’ competition commitments.

The crew also had to work around Cyclone Pam to find suitable waves here and across the Tasman. The video blends the safety message with surfing action, stand-up paddle boarding and in the tradition of a surfing road trip movie, scenes of chilling out around a bonfire on the beach and cruising in an old station wagon. It’s the 11th of the safety videos that have had tens of millions of online views around the world. Airline marketing boss Mike Tod said by involving surfers from Brazil and Japan the airline hoped to create interest in those countries.

Rugby helps men lose weight Rugby clubs might be the answer to helping hundreds of Kiwi men lose weight - and now a new study is hoping to prove that. Almost $150,000 has been awarded by the Health Research Council of NZ to fund a feasibility study that will look at whether a weight loss programme for men through professional rugby clubs could work. The study is based on a similar initiative in Scotland, where hundreds of football fans connected with local football clubs who ran regular fitness training and healthy lifestyle classes. The initiative has been going on for a few years now and has helped hundreds of men lose weight.

Associate Professor Ralph Maddison, of the University of Auckland, will be behind the Kiwi study and said it was an idea that could really stick with Kiwi men.

Celebrating its 11th birthday next week, the event will see 750 firefighters from around the country run up 1103 steps to raise money for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer NZ. Mr Morrison has signed up to join the crowds alongside personal fitness trainer Lee-Anne Wann, who has been helping him change to a healthier lifestyle since late last year. “It’s a good cause and an important cause. Thanks to Lee-Anne, I’m in better shape than I’ve been in the last eight years.

■ MID CANTERBURY LICENSED PREMISES

Ten caught in stings since 2012

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Police operations at Mid Canterbury licensed premises have led to 10 prosecutions for selling alcohol to a minor since 2012.

However police say new controlled purchase operation figures show most Mid Canterbury premises are being responsible

when it comes to selling alcohol. According to data released to the Guardian under the Official Information Act, police have conducted 10 controlled purchase operations across 99 Mid Canterbury premises since July 2012.

Controlled purchase operations cover supermarkets, clubs, restaurants, pubs, and taverns.

As a result, 10 prosecutions

have been forwarded to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA).

Penalties handed down to staff and premises included the suspension of managers’ certificates, temporary closure of premises, warnings, and precharge warnings.

Mid/South Canterbury alcohol harm reduction officer Sergeant Grant Lord said one

premises was a repeat offender and had been caught out twice, while the other premises were caught once each.

Mr Lord said while the number of Mid Canterbury premises caught in the police stings was higher than expected, the majority of premises were being responsible.

“The other way of looking at it is 90 per cent of people

get it right,” he said. On average about 10 per cent of Mid Canterbury’s licensed premises were caught, slightly higher than the seven per cent busted in South Canterbury over the same period.

Police conducted 14 controlled purchase operations across 231 South Canterbury licensed premises, resulting in 18 prosecutions.

■ ASHBURTON RESOURCE RECOVERY PARK

One man’s rubbish is now another man’s compost By sue newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s taken more than two years, but finally A grade compost is rolling out of Ashburton’s resource recovery park.

On one side of the greenwaste area sit mounds of garden rubbish; on the other there is a black mountain of rich organic matter that through a little rolling and screening and plenty of exposure to the elements is creating a ready cash stream for the park’s operator Envirowaste.

And no one is prouder of the new income stream than Ashburton District Council waste recovery manager Craig Goodwin.

It’s taken time, but following extensive testing the park’s compost has been given an A grade rating, meeting the New Zealand compost standards (NZS4454) that ensures its consistency and nutrients are at the right level.

“This is a big thing for us, we’re proud of what the

group has achieved, it’s a good partnership,” he said.

When green waste arrives at the park, grass is separated out and the remaining material begins its journey to becoming compost.

The mountains of waste are rolled regularly, screened and undergo regular testing to track process and ensure they contain no residual chemicals.

Two years later the product receives its first test as the seed bed for radish. If they grow, then the product is sent off for testing.

The first batch is now on sale by the bag or trailer load, with another mountain likely to be ready in the spring.

“The great thing about the compost is that it can be sprinkled on the surface of your soil or dug through to provide a diversity of plant soluble nutrients.

It helps attract earthworms to your garden which improves drainage and aeration as well as soil structure and water holding capacity,” Mr Goodwin said.

From garden waste to garden compost in just two years – Ashburton District Council resource recovery manager Craig Goodwin ready to feed the district’s gardens.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Focus on Grow Mid Canty

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A call for the Timaru District Council to scrap its business development agency has prompted Stuart Wilson to suggest the Ashburton District Council could do the same.

Murray Cleverley is the Aoraki Development Trust’s former chief executive and believes the Timaru council could save itself around $300,000 by taking over the district’s economic development functions.

Mr Wilson, an Ashburton District councillor, has long been a critic of Grow Mid Canterbury and believes Mr Cleverley’s proposal could have merit for Ashburton.

“I can’t see anything that Grow Mid Canterbury has done so far that’s been to the benefit of the district,” he said.

The organisation’s brief might be to promote the economic growth of the district,

Stuart Wilson

but that work could be done equally well if it was contracted out by the council to private enterprise, Mr Wilson said.

Grow Mid Canterbury receives $247,000 annually from the council and secures work contracts from a number of other organisations. The council grant is a form of seed funding that pays staff and administration costs.

“I don’t believe we’re getting value for money; why should ratepayers have to subsidise one sector of the community.

Do the ratepayers of the district have to pay someone to promote business in the district or do we leave it to private enterprise, to private entrepreneurial skills?”

Councillor Neil Brown, a member of the council’s liaison committee with Grow Mid Canterbury doesn’t agree.

“I believe we’d lose if we brought it back in house. We are asking them for details on what we get back in return for our money; we’ve been asking for this for a while.”

While he supports retaining the organisation, Mr Brown said the council could be more proactive in telling Grow Mid Canterbury the work it wanted it to do.

“They have a list of projects they say they’re working

on but they’re not getting a lot across the line. We need to be saying, this is the work we want done, you give us a quote for doing it.”

The council had been waiting for four years for an economic development strategy for the district from the organisation, he said.

The draft strategy is out for consultation but has generated almost zero response.

While the council had agreed to fund Grow Mid Canterbury for the next financial year, scrapping the organisation was one of the options that were always up for consideration, council chief executive Andrew Dalziel said.

“We always have to be asking, are we getting a bang for our buck.

“Every three years this comes around and we have to look at whether we’ve got the model right.”

‘Independence Grow Mid Canterbury’s strength’ Grow Mid Canterbury chief executive Rob Brawley says he’s convinced the district is best served by an economic development organisation that is at arm’s length from the Ashburton District Council.

While the council provides the organisation with onethird ($247,000) of its income, Mr Brawley said this would be absorbed in staffing costs if it brought economic develop-

ment back in house.

Currently Grow Mid Canterbury employs six full-time staff, although salaries for some are subsidised through other work contracts.

“I’d be pretty cautious about his recommendations; there are few economic development agencies within councils so this speaks for itself,” he said.

He believes the strength of an agency that is at arm’s

length from a council comes in its perceived independence.

“Many of the organisations that deal with us do this because we are independent and that’s not a criticism of the council, it’s just the way it is.

I believe taking the work in house would cost the council more than it pays now because the other contracts and income subsidise our work.”

■ RDRML KLONDYKE STORAGE POND

Pond plan prompts fears From P1 The pond would improve the reliability of water supply for irrigation, hydro and stock water to RDRML customers.

“It’s not only important for people who will benefit directly from the project, it’s also a matter of public reassurance in terms of safety; it will be a dam after all,” Mr Curry said.

RDRML has written to the 40 landholders who will be affected during the construction phase and longer term.

It has also consulted with tangata whenua, public health, environmental and recreational groups about the proposal.

On the tail-end of the worst drought in a decade, and with a further El Nino weather pattern predicted to hit hard next summer, Mr Curry said there has never been a better time to talk about the need for water storage.

Ruapuna farmer Mark Morrow is supportive of the Klondyke Storage Pond project, but would like to see it renamed.

He has been involved in a land-swapping arrangement to enable RDRML to obtain sufficient land to move forward with the proposal, and thinks it’s high time to develop irrigation infrastructure – although he commiserated with Ms Macalister and Mr Olley’s plight.

“Our generation have been a bit slack in moving on water storage,” he said.

Mr Morrow and his wife Nicky are customers of the Mayfield Hinds irrigation scheme, which is already well serviced with the recent opening of the Carew Storage Ponds further down the Rangitata River from the proposed RDRML pond.

“Unless the demand increases

we should be alright but it’s not about us,” he said.

If the project goes ahead, the Klondyke ponds would have the capacity to supply water to schemes in South Canterbury, which would benefit the entire region, Mr Morrow said.

“Nicky and I are both very happy about it – but it has to be viable and have the uptake – it’s an inter-generational project really,” he said.

“A lot of people don’t realise how much this will benefit everyone in the county – we need to continue to make progress.”

RDRML hopes to apply for resource consent by the end of the year.

nomic development needed to be kept separate from politics, Mr Brawley said.

“We have an independent board and it’s easier for businesses to relate to us because we’re business people too. I don’t see there is any need to bring our organisation in house with council; as long as there are clear goals and performance measures, where is the issue?”

In brief Flooding death An elderly man died in yesterday’s flooding in Wellington. Police said the body of the 80-year-old man was found near a car submerged in water, with its keys in the ignition, in the Lower Hutt suburb of Petone. The man was found late yesterday afternoon, hours after the car was found near Sladden Park, Bracken Street. Police said officers searched the area and found the man’s body in flooded water near his vehicle. There were no suspicious circumstances relating to his death. Police were working to notify next of kin and the death had been referred to the coroner.

- NZME

Charges considered Police are considering laying charges in connection with a duck-shooting accident near Paerau in which a man received gunshot injuries to his arm. Police are still investigating the incident, which happened on the opening day of the duck-shooting season.

A 24-year-old Maniototo man was taken to Dunedin Hospital by helicopter on Saturday, May 2, after receiving “a large wound to his arm”. Police said the man was in an all terrain vehicle with four others. He fell out with two guns when the vehicle went over a rise.

One of the shotguns discharged and struck him in the arm. - NZME

Breach of bail A West Coast man who returned home from sea to find his car broken into was himself apprehended when he went to report the incident to the Greymouth Police Station. The fisherman, 23, was arrested for breach of bail when he went to report his car, parked outside his home for three weeks while he was at sea, had been broken into and smashed up. “It was bad luck for him,” community Constable Mike Tinnelly said.

■ RUAPUNA FARM SALE

Auction good test of interest A Mid Canterbury farm suitable for dairy conversion or arable farming will test the demand for dairy property when it goes to auction next week.

PGG Wrightson Real Estate Mid Canterbury sales manager Robin Ford has listed the 160 hectare Ruapuna property, currently used for dairy grazing. He said few similar local properties have come to the market recently.

“Sitting within the Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation area though not currently irrigated; an easy to manage square block; and with good draining soils, this property has all the attributes for conversion to dairy, and will likely be purchased with that objective,” Mr Ford said.

While the reduced milk payout is putting pressure on many farmers, the market for dairy property is largely unaffected, Mr Ford said.

“Relatively few dairy farms,

or those suitable for conversion, have been offered for sale recently.

When they have been, demand has remained keen, and motivated purchasers are actively looking for properties, despite the uncertain current outlook,” he said.

“On that basis, and because there are few recent sales to compare it to, it is difficult to predict the sale price. However, judging by the interest since this farm was offered to the market, we expect a strong turnout at the auction next week and bidding from multiple wellqualified parties. With numerous other rural professionals likely to be present to monitor the sale, it should be an interesting day.”

Located 38 kilometres west of Ashburton and 33 kilometres north of Geraldine, the Ruapuna property will be auctioned

by PGG Wrightson Real Estate auctioneer Athol Earl at 2pm on Tuesday (May 19) at the Hotel Ashburton.

The Mangonui Fire Brigade responded to calls about the damage on State Highway 10 about 2.30pm yesterday. Locals reported hearing a loud noise similar to thunder and described it as a “mini-tornado”. A roof was reportedly peeled off a two-storey house and smashed through the ranchslider of the property behind it.

■ NEW ZEALAND FLAG REFERENDUM

Our flag’s just fine, thanks

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Most Mid Cantabrians want to keep the current New Zealand flag, a Guardian street poll suggests.

Most people interviewed on the streets of Methven and Ashburton this week liked the flag the way it was, and could not see the sense of spending over $25 million on a referendum to change it.

Mid Cantabrians are voicing their concerns as the New Zealand Flag Consideration Project Roadshow prepares to arrive in Ashburton.

The Standfor van will be in town on Monday 10am to 2pm on the East Street chessboard.

In Methven, resident Atif Malkonyan said the current flag was “amazing”, and he would like to see the money instead spent on valuable initiatives such as the recent under-13 free doctors’ visits.

Angie Gutschlag said she thought the

current flag was “just fine”, and when it came to spending that much money, “there’s too many hungry people out there”.

Anita Blake said it was a “ridiculous” amount to spend, and believed it should be spent clearing waiting lists for muchneeded hip and knee replacements. Her friend Bev Staples said the flag should stay the way it was, and the money for the referendum would be better spent on solving the nation’s housing shortage.

Sally-Anne Kircher said the concept of changing the flag was “ridiculous”.

“And I can’t believe they have pushed it through, no-one even agrees with paying for the referendum. And you still have people sleeping in garages in Christchurch.”

Ruth Odlin, from Mt Somers, agreed it was a lot of money to spend, but supported the initiative to change it.

“I think the old one is irrelevant to us where we are as a nation.”

In Ashburton, Hayley Clucas believed

the current flag represented New Zealand’s place as part of the Commonwealth, and it would be a waste of money to change it.

Colleen Ness said now was not the right time to change it, especially with all the patriotic sentiments which had risen to the surface this year for the 100th anniversary of the start of World War One. It would instead be something for younger generations to consider in years to come.

Henare Bartlett said he liked the flag the way it was, and soldiers of the past had fought under it.

And Maori and non-Maori may not reach consensus on a new design.

However, Jan Stonyer said while she could not see why it would cost so much to change, she believed a different design could better represent the country.

“A lot of people get our flag confused with the Aussie one. While it would be sad to see it go, the silver fern is probably what people associate Kiwis with.”

Coats to bridge winter warmth gap

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Winter’s looming, the big chill is just around the corner and that means coats, hats and scarves will soon become must-have items.

Recognising the cost of a warm winter coat might be beyond the reach of families on a budget, four Ashburton agencies have joined forces to bridge the winter warmth gap by gathering up unwanted coats and offering them to children in need.

Base Youth Centre manager Bexx Soper is leading the Coats for Kids project and yesterday launched the collection campaign for this winter.

“We’ve got a few left over from last year but we need a lot more.

We gave away more than 200 last year and we’ve already had our first mini rush when children went off to school camps.

Now we’re starting to get people coming in wanting warm coats for winter,” she said.

Unwanted coats are needed for children from pre-schoolers to teenagers and for the past two years, the community has managed to come close to matching demand, Ms Soper said.

People are put in touch with the project through social agencies, schools and word of mouth.

Last year one workplace did a coat drive and delivered a large number of coats, others came in ones and twos but virtually all were good quality and in mint condition, she said.

Key to the success of the project was spreading the word that coats, hats and scarves were available to people in need, Ms Soper said.

“We send out information to schools several times during

the winter and they’ll contact us, they know their families and they know where there’s a need.”

There was no qualifying criteria, the project was open to anyone who needed a coat for the winter, she said.

“We just need to make sure that people know about us and that they know they can come in and we can help. All we want is for people to be warm.”

If anyone felt uncomfortable going to Base to collect a coat, the Coats for Kids team would be happy to make home deliveries.

Coats can be dropped off at the Base or Safer Ashburton between 2pm and 5.30pm weekdays.

■ ASHBURTON ART GALLERY

Artists move with cyber times

By SuSan SandyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

The impending opening of the new Ashburton Art Gallery is marked with a coming of the internet age for the Ashburton Society of Arts.

The society will host its annual exhibition in the new gallery for the first time, and is also moving to online entries.

Committee member Mandy Casey said yesterday that the move to online would save money for the society, which generally printed out hundreds

of entry forms.

“People send away their entry with a cheque, (but today) we feel that most people are up with technology,” Mrs Casey said.

Artists would continue to have the option of filling out a hard copy entry form, and could phone exhibition secretary Lyndsay McCosker on 302-3898 to access one.

Mid Canterbury artist and grandmother Ngaio McKee said she would be among those filling out a hard copy entry form. She thought the society

had to move with the times, but she herself was not particularly internet-savvy.

“I have got a computer and I’m struggling with it,” she said.

She would be getting her entry form from the Short Street Studio, where they would be available for people to pick up.

The society’s exhibition is an annual highlight on the visual arts calendar in Mid Canterbury. Last year the society celebrated its 50th annual exhibition and it had to be staged early in the old art gallery in

Baring Square, before it closed down.

This year it will be held around its usual time of year, opening on July 6. It will run for three weeks and close on July 24. It attracts a range of guest artists as well as about 500 entries from throughout New Zealand.

Going into the new art gallery, which will open later this month, was a fantastic prospect for the society and the hundreds of artists to enter this year’s exhibition, Mrs Casey said.

“We are really, really excited.”

Car seats locked and loaded Following on from Road Safety Week, Plunket’s Mid-South Canterbury car seat service spent Wednesday morning checking car seats at the Aubrey Mason Kindergarten in Tinwald.

Car seat service area manager Shirley Falloon said the exercise was one that was done throughout the district, and was intended to educate and advise.

Mrs Falloon said special emphasis was put on checking that the seats were age and size appropriate.

Along with Constable Pup Chamberlain and Constable Chris Wiltshire, Mrs Falloon made sure car seats were current and in good order, and checked that all restraints were properly fitted.

Goodie bags with information about car seats were provided to everyone whose vehicles were checked.

Right - Plunket car seat service area manager Shirley Falloon ensured that three-year-old Luke Moffett’s car seat is in good working order yesterday.

Prince Harry paddles waka up Whanganui River Prince Harry broke new ground during his New Zealand tour when he became the first member of the royal family to paddle the Whanganui River in a waka yesterday.

The prince spent the day in Whanganui yesterday, visiting the War Memorial Centre, meeting locals and spending time on the Putiki Marae before setting off in a waka for a 40-minute paddle up the river.

At the marae, Prince Harry recalled his uncle Prince Ed-

ward had spent a year in Whanganui and was a regular visitor to the marae.

“Unfortunately I’m not able to spend a whole year in Whanganui like he did.”

He also quoted the Whanganui saying “I am the river and the river is me” and said it was “an extraordinary privilege” to be asked to travel on a waka on the river.

The prince was given a specially carved hoe (paddle) to use on the river, and a pakohe

taonga, a local carving.

School children in three waka accompanied the prince’s waka up the river.

After the waka arrived at the boat ramp, Harry gave a big thumb’s up to the crew, and admitted he was “absolutely knackered”. “That’s my exercise done for the day,” he said.

Harry went up on to the bank of the river for an impromptu ‘walkabout’ meeting the locals who had gathered. He delighted one group by going through

one of the barriers to cross to them.

At the War Memorial Centre, Prince Harry spent time talking to veterans.

He remarked that it must be one of the few opportunities for the veterans to get together.

“Apart from the RSA,” a few vets quipped, which got a laugh.

Prince Harry then met some of the several thousand locals that had braved the rain to see the prince in their hometown.

Downpour causes havoc Torrential rain and slips caused transport chaos in Wellington yesterday and cut the city off from nearby communities.

As rivers and streams burst their banks, roads, homes and businesses in Kapiti, Porirua and the Hutt Valley were seriously flooded in many areas.

Police said all motorists should take extra care and expect delays as conditions were “still treacherous with extensive flooding in many areas” around Wellington.

Civil Defence staff said more disruption was expected for commuters this morning.

Wellington Region Emergency Management group controller Bruce Pepperell said commuters planning to travel within the region today should consider alternatives to their usual morning commute.

Train services would be suspended until at least midday today, which was likely to result in road congestion.

The New Zealand Transport Agency was advising people to “plan around” congestion and if possible work from home, travel outside of peak times, or commute on foot or bike.

Mr Pepperell said Wellingtonians handled yesterday’s flooding and subsequent disruptions admirably.

“The weather has resulted in some inconvenience but it has been a great opportunity for people to put into practice their emergency arrangements and check what works,” he said.

“We had four emergency welfare centres operating on the Kapiti Coast and two centres in central Wellington. The fact that they were not needed is testament to the way people have looked after themselves and each other.”

As the morning commute started yesterday, a slip blocked part of State Highway 1 on the Kapiti Coast.

Commuter chaos followed as the highway between Paekakariki and Pukerua Bay was closed and detours were off-limits as slips and flooding struck the Paekakariki Hill road.

In Lower Hutt, flooding hit the city’s main road before noon.

Workers were on the street as waters rose and roundabouts were submerged.

Coronation Coffee owner Indra Sinnathambi said he’d never seen a deluge so severe.

Professionals real estate employee Gareth Barlow said water was knee-deep on the street and seeping inside his office.

“There’s a 5m pond in front of us. People ... have had to take their shoes and socks off and roll their pants up to wade out.”

Surface flooding hit the local Work and Income office, and a staff member said all clients had to leave when water poured inside.

■ PHILIPPINES

In brief Kabul attack kills 14 A senior Afghan government official says a total of 14 people, including nine foreigners, were killed when Taliban attackers stormed a Kabul guesthouse.

The official says that among the nine foreigners killed in the stunning assault, seven were men, and two women. Five Afghan were also among the dead — four men and one woman — and seven were wounded, including one Afghan policeman. The full breakdown of the nationalities among the foreigners killed in the attack was not immediately known. So far, four Indians and an American have been confirmed dead.

Mass funeral held

A fireman looks from the second floor of the Kentex rubber slipper factory after a fire hit it in Valenzuela city, north of Manila, Philippines yesterday. The fire killed dozens of workers who ran to the second floor in hopes of escaping only to become trapped by the inferno, officials said.

Factory fire traps, kills 72 Police will open a criminal investigation into a Philippine factory fire that killed at least 72 people, as a relative of several of the victims said the blaze had trapped workers in the building’s second floor where iron grilles on windows prevented their escape.

Most of the bodies were retrieved from the gutted twostory Kentex Manufacturing Corp. rubber slipper factory a day after the fire raged for over five hours in the outskirts of the capital, Manila.

As forensic officers worked to identify the dead and reconcile their names with those listed as

missing, questions were being raised if the factory followed fire and building safety standards.

Dionesio Candido, whose daughter, granddaughter, sister-in-law and niece were among the missing, said iron grilles reinforced with fencing wire covered windows on the second floor that “could prevent even cats from escaping.”

He said he was allowed by authorities to enter the gutted building, where he saw charred remains “piled on top of each other.”

Local media reports quoted relatives as saying their kin

sent frantic text messages asking for help from the second floor, but contact was lost shortly after.

Police will file charges against “all those accountable and those at fault,” said police Deputy Director General Leonardo Espina.

Valenzuela city fire marshal Mel Jose Lagan said arson investigators will look into why the people were unable to escape from the second floor when there was a “sufficient exit” that includes a wide stairway to the back of the building leading to the outside.

They will also look into

whether there were more people inside the building than allowed.

Iron grille bars on windows are common in offices, factories and homes in the Philippines to keep away thieves. In workplaces or factories, they are also meant to prevent employees from stealing equipment or products.

Valenzuela Mayor Rex Gatchalian said that a workers log book was lost in the fire and the foreman was among the dead, making it difficult to determine how many workers were inside the factory at the time.

■ BURUNDI

Gunfire, explosions amid coup attempt Sporadic gunfire rang out in Burundi’s capital yesterday, the day after an army general announced he had ousted President Pierre Nkurunziza, whose decision to seek a third term in office had provoked street protests.

Explosions could be heard in central Bujumbura. Gunshots were being heard in central Bujumbura.

Thousands took to the streets to celebrate after Maj. Gen. Godefroid Niyombare an-

nounced on a private radio station that Nkurunziza had been relieved of his duties. The protests began when Nkurunziza was in neighbouring Tanzania for a summit on his country’s troubles at the time.

His whereabouts remained unclear yesterday, but the presidency said in a Twitter post that Nkurunziza urged the country to remain calm amid the attempted coup, and that the situation is under control.

The military is divided be-

tween Nkurunziza loyalists and those who back Niyombare, who had been fired in February as the country’s intelligence chief. The army chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Prime Niyongabo, said on state radio he is “against Maj. Gen. Niyombare”.

A grenade attack seriously damaged the building of private broadcaster Renaissance TV, where Niyombare also made his coup statement, said the station’s director, Innocent Muhozi. One of his offices was

also burned overnight, he said.

Police withdrew from the streets of Bujumbura after Niyombare’s coup statement, and people thronged Bujumbura’s streets and applauded soldiers who rode by in tanks and trucks.

But some officials remained loyal to Nkurunziza, whose office said a statement posted on the president’s Twitter and Facebook accounts that the coup attempt was unsuccessful.

Amid tight security, hundreds of Pakistanis paid their respects at a mass funeral yesterday for most of the 45 minority Shiites killed in a militant attack on a bus the previous day in the southern port city of Karachi. Pakistan was observing a day of national mourning and state-run television was broadcasting live footage, showing mourners attending the last rituals for the victims of the assault. Forty-three of the victims were laid to rest yesterday, one was buried earlier and another body remains to be identified.

The callous attack, in which gunmen stormed the bus with members of the Ismaili Shiite branch, then ordered them to bow their heads and shot them dead, shocked many in Pakistan and prompted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to rush to Karachi hours after the attack and order an investigation.

Depp’s dogs dispute Australian quarantine authorities have ordered Johnny Depp to fly his dogs Pistol and Boo out of the country by Saturday or they will be put down. Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce accused Depp of smuggling the Yorkshire terriers aboard his private jet when he returned to Australia on April 21 to resume filming of the 5th installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series at Gold Coast studios. The Agriculture Department gave Depp, 51, and his 29-year-old wife Amber Heard a 72-hour notice to send their pets back to the United States. “If you start letting movie stars — even though they’ve been the sexiest man alive twice — to come into our nation (with pets), then why don’t we just break laws for everybody?”

Joyce said.

Modi on China visit Lion dancers and flower-bearing children welcomed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to central China where President Xi Jinping planned to show him a touch of personal diplomacy that is rare for a Chinese leader. Modi arrived at the airport in Xi’an. He then visited the museum with China’s famed Terra Cotta Warriors and a Buddhist temple. Later, he was scheduled to hold a lengthy meeting with Xi, whose family hails from the region. Amid heavy security, large crowds turned out to greet Modi’s motorcade, prompting the prime minister to tweet: “Am very glad to see the enthusiasm among the people of China.”

‘We weren’t prepared’ for second quake Nepal has been overwhelmed by its second massive earthquake in less than three weeks, its prime minister said yesterday as he visited this normally placid foothills town, now a centre for frightened villagers desperate for government help.

Thousands of people now crowd the streets of Charikot, the administrative centre of the isolated district hit hardest by Tuesday’s magnitude-7.3 quake, which killed at least 96 people and injured more than 2300.

The magnitude-7.8 earthquake that hit April 25 killed more than 8150 people, injured tens of thousands more and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

“After the first quake, we were not prepared for a second one so big,” Prime Minister Sushil Koirala told reporters after arriving in Charikot by helicopter.

He said the coming monsoon rains now loomed large, with hundreds of thousands of people left homeless.

“We need tents. Our people need shelter. With the rainy season, it will be dif-

ficult for people to survive in the open,” he said.

Nearly everyone is too afraid to sleep indoors in Charikot, which is filling with people from surrounding areas seeking help. Aftershocks are keeping them on edge.

While food has been handed out occasionally here, supplies were nowhere near enough for the people who kept arriving. Many people simply waited at the locked gates of the army’s small aid distribution centre, shaking the fence angrily when their frustration got the better of them.

“We came here with such hopes and such difficulty, but now we’re just waiting and waiting,” said Navraj Nama, 25, who came to Charikot with his brother and elderly uncle after the second earthquake.

He said 90 per cent of their home village, Danda Khorka, had been damaged in the April 25 quake, and about 50 buildings had collapsed when the second one hit.

Boko Haram attacks Maiduguri Hundreds of Boko Haram extremists tried to attack the biggest army base in northeast Nigeria but met fierce resistance from soldiers who fired heavy artillery.

Hundreds of people fled the neighbourhood around Giwa Barracks in Maiduguri, the northeast’s biggest city.

The army imposed a 24-hour curfew amid fears some insurgents have slipped through trenches and sand walls.

A fighter in a civilian defence group, Ibrahim Musa, said he was shocked to see that the Islamic extremists can still attack in such numbers.

A multi-national force and Nigerian troops have forced Boko Haram from all towns and cities in the northeast in a 14-week-long offensive that Nigerian officials say has the militants hemmed into the Sambisa Forest, more than 100 kilometres south of Maiduguri.

OUR VIEW

Better ways to spend $25 million Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

N

ew Zealand’s flag might not be the most attractive on the planet but it’s ours.

We’ve fought under it and for it, we’ve competed at international sporting events with it flying high and we’ve experienced surges of pride when it’s been flown. Why would we want to change it?

Our flag represents our past, the foundations of our country.

We may be a very different New Zealand today, a place where our ancestry is as likely to be Asian or South American as it is to be British, but our foundations are unchanged.

Why, therefore, would we want to spend more than $25 million on a referendum to determine whether change is actually wanted? If the answer is no, that’s $25 million spent and wasted; if it’s yes, then that’s just the start of the great national spend-up on deciding a new design and eventually changing every flag on every flagpole around the country.

Even if there’s a mandate for change, making a decision on the final design will be the ultimate challenge, one that will inevitably be polarising.

Stick with what we’ve got.

Fly it with pride and divert what is obviously a mountain of spare cash into something more worthwhile – the health or welfare sectors. How many people could receive life-improving ‘elective’ surgery with this money; how many more at-risk children could be saved, how much social housing built?

To spend $25 million on finding whether there’s an appetite for change is at best an irresponsible use of taxpayers’ money.

A flag will not prompt a greater sense of nationhood; it won’t drive our displays of patriotism to equal those of the hand-on-heart Americans.

We’re an understated people, not given to huge displays of public emotion. We carry our pride quietly inside and no amount of flag tinkering will change that.

We’ll still be Kiwis, proudly living in Aotearoa – and we’ll still have $25 million in the bank.

LETTERS

YOUR VIEW Costly flag Yesterday we got a letter from St John asking for donations for 12 new ambulances.

Why do organisations like St John, Westpac Rescue, etc have to beg for essentials when our government is hell-bent on changing a flag (at a reported cost of $36 million) that polls indicate over 70 per cent of people disagree with.

Sure is a funny old world!

Scrum resets waste of time

OFF THE AIR

I

’m a bit grumpy this week and here’s why.

I’m worried that one of my favourite sports is being ruined.

I love rugby, I wasn’t much chop at playing the game but I love watching it, especially live at the ground.

I was lucky enough to win some tickets on the radio to the Crusaders v Reds game last Friday in Christchurch.

What a superb game to watch. Flowing rugby with stacks of action.

Unlike most other games of Super Rugby, it wasn’t bogged down by stoppages. I’m mainly focusing on scrum resets. They drive me nuts and I reckon they are ruining our national game.

I have seen figures suggesting that the ball is being used by teams for a tick over 30 minutes per game. So for over half the game the ball is out of play.

Here’s a wee test for those of you who have My Sky, press pause at the start of the game, start watching 10 minutes into the game, fast forward the scrums and see how quickly it takes you to catch up with the live action.

So what’s the answer?

Should the clock stop each time the ball goes out, for scrums and after each try is scored? I guess viewers will get their money’s worth then though, BUT going on the figures mentioned previously, the average game will take around three hours to complete.

I can’t see too many couples saying to each other on a Friday afternoon, “awesome, we’ve got 18 hours of footy to watch this weekend”.

Do we do away with scrums all together and replace them with free kicks?

I think this is too extreme

and will change the face of a rugby team. Surely that would do away with props and hookers in their current form. Why have a Tony Woodcock rather than another Ritchie McCaw if there’s no scrums?

Do we go to golden oldies type scrums or the shambles employed by Rugby League, although that shambles is effective at getting the ball back in play. No, I don’t think so. Scrums are an important part of rugby, often it’s where games are won and lost, “up front”. So let’s get rid of that bad taste that appears in your mouth when your favourite side has an attacking scrum at a pivotal part of the game and you just know there’s going to be at least one reset. Let’s get

back to a good FAIR contest at scrum time.

I reckon give the scrum calls back to the players. The hooker of the team with the ball calls the scrum engagement, just like the good old days. Get rid of the ref poncing around the place like a bloke on heat at a night club, yelling and patting people on the bum. He concentrates on what’s going on at scrum time. If there’s a collapse, he has to make a call, NO RESETS! Minor indiscretions result in a free kick, that has to be taken as a tap kick or kick to touch from inside your own 22, otherwise it’s a penalty.

Let’s also get tough on time wasting. Players holding onto the ball when in touch, so the opposition can’t take a quick

throw in, also drives me bonkers. It is unsportsmanlike so let’s get it out of the game!

We left last week’s game saying “man, that was a great game to be at live”. Shouldn’t the paying public be saying that after EVERY game?

Till next week, Hoo Roo Phill Hooper Very average first-five

■ IMMIGRATION

$33m boost for immigration Growth in the number of tourists and international students coming to New Zealand will see the number of immigration officers boosted with $33 million of new spending.

Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse said record-breaking visitor numbers meant more officers were needed at Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown airports.

He said next week’s Budget will have $33 million of new operating expenditure over the next four years - $25.1 million will come from the Crown, and almost $8 million from immigration fees.

Passenger arrivals have grown from 1.3 million over the past 10 years to nearly 5.2 million.

“Positive growth in our tourism and export education sectors has seen the need for additional resources and investment to manage the increased number of passengers and the changing nature of global risk,” Mr Woodhouse said.

“The $33 million allows for an extra 36 Immigration New Zealand staff, including border officers at Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown airports, as well as specialist officers to manage emerging risk in offshore markets.”

Mr Woodhouse said Immigration NZ was focused on identifying risks when passengers were still outside New Zealand and yet to board incoming flights, meaning fewer people would be intercepted at the border.

New Zealand retail sales rose at a record pace in the first three months of 2015 as the start of the school year underpinned demand for consumer electronics such as laptops and tablets.

The volume of sales rose a seasonally adjusted 2.7 per cent in the three months ended March 31, accelerating from a pace of 1.9 per cent in the December quarter, according to Statistics New Zealand. That beat the 1.5 per cent growth predicted in a Reuters survey of economists. Stripping out vehicle-related spending, retail sales rose 2.9 per cent, led by an 8.9 per cent gain in sales of electrical and electronic goods.

The actual volume of sales in the March quarter was 7.4 per cent higher than last year.

“Our discussions with retailers suggest that there’s no one thing in particular behind this,” Stats NZ’s Tehseen Islam said.

T

he most anticipated news item this week was the Federal Budget from Australia. The budget was reasonably tame compared to previous years but there were still some winners.

Small business owners will receive a tax break on capital expenditures up to A$20,000, which is sure to make retailers happy. Parents will also benefit from this budget with more money being allocated to childcare for working families.

Flexible childcare will also be introduced for shift workers, which includes professions like firefighters, policemen, nurses and doctors.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) published its six-monthly financial stability report on Tuesday. The major takeaway from this was that the RBNZ is taking increasing Auckland housing prices very seriously.

The report called for tougher measures on property investors within the Auckland area, introducing a 30 per cent minimum deposit for non-owner occupied housing. The current loan to value restrictions for first home buyers remains in place in Auckland, however these will be relaxed slightly in the rest of the country which will allow more people to buy a house with a smaller deposit.

Although these measures won’t

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

take effect until October this year, the RBNZ has a certain expectation that banks will begin to enforce this as soon as is practicable.

European first quarter GDP estimates were released this week. This showed growth for the March quarter of 0.4 per cent. This was a higher growth rate than the UK at 0.3 per cent, and the US at 0.2 per cent.

The pick-up in growth has been attributed to the quantitative easing measures introduced by the European Central Bank, lower fuel prices which means consumers have more disposable income, and a weaker euro.

It is uncertain that the growth rate will be maintained at this level as some of the countries in the 19-strong currency bloc continue to struggle with high unemployment and high debt levels.

France was a standout, beating all expectations with growth of 0.6 per cent, the fastest rate seen in two years.

German growth slowed to 0.3 per cent, less than half of its previous quarterly figure. As was widely expected, Greece

contracted 0.2 per cent, falling back into recession.

Greece made another payment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Wednesday, the second in a week. This payment totalled 750 million euro, and means that over the last week Greece has paid around 1 billion euro to the IMF. Greek officials revealed that in order to make the payment in full and on time, they had to tap into emergency funds which will eventually need to be replenished.

The Greek government must also to pay pensions and salaries of government employees at the end of this month, not to mention further debt servicing in June and July.

Following the Conservative Party’s victory in the UK elections last week, the British pound firmed up against the currencies of its major trading partners. The comfortable win gave the economic community a confidence boost as it meant continued stability.

The pound did give up some ground later in the week, but remains strong.

In brief Paralympian on target Three-time Paralympic medallist Michael Johnson won gold in the R4 (10m air rifle standing mixed SH2) yesterday at the IPC Shooting World Cup in Turkey. Johnson shot 211.2 taking him clear of Great Britain’s Ryan Cockbill (210.2) and Sinisa Vidic from Serbia (187.0). Fellow Kiwi Phillip Skinner made his international debut and performed well placing ninth with 621.9 in the same event.

Peyroux gets his chance If NRL jerseys were handed out on the back of pure effort and training commitment, Dominique Peyroux would be one of the first Warriors picked every week. Unfortunately for the versatile 26-year-old, winning a regular place in Andrew McFadden’s side has proven much more difficult but Konrad Hurrell’s suspension has opened an opportunity for him to start in the midfield in tomorrow’s match against Parramatta. “It’s been 10 weeks and taken a bit longer than I thought to get that start but I’m just thankful and blessed to get it,” Peyroux said.

“It will be good. Me and Jonno [Wright] are pretty tight and Bodene [Thompson] and Shaun [Johnson] are there as well.”

Whincup charging Methven defender Philippa Brooks looks on as College shooter Emily Hickman receives a pass during last night’s ACL premier netball clash.

College takes a thriller

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Premier netball made its first appearance indoors at the EA Networks Centre last night.

The feature of the night was the potential premier final preview between unbeaten rivals College and Methven.

The game was a close one but College managed to clinch the win and take the Challenge Trophy with a final score of 29-26.

It started off with a bang, with both College and Methven scoring inside the first minute of the match.

Players from both teams appeared to struggle on the court’s slippery surface, and

College shoot Emily Hickman took a big tumble early on.

Methven played a strong game, not letting up on defence and the first quarter ended with them leading by two.

Turnover after turnover in the second quarter saw College inch their way ahead, and by the half-time break the teams were tied 16-16.

It was an aggressive third quarter, the teams shooting goal for goal, however, College managed to pull away in the last few minutes, ending the quarter 24-22.

Emotions were running high and the crowd were on the edge of their seats as the buzzer sounded for the fourth

and final quarter of the match.

Both teams started off strong once again but Methven appeared to be feeling the pressure, missing five consecutive goals.

College worked hard on attack and maintained their lead, netting their final goal in the last 30 seconds of the game.

Coach Angela Mitchell said the match was a nail-biter, but she was proud of how her team performed.

“The thing that showed well was their maturity and composure,” Mitchell said.

While Methven were a force to be reckoned with, College showed they had what it took to take the victor’s spoils.

“Every ball was contested so highly,” she said.

“It was an amazing game.”

In the other early match United moved away from the relegation zone and secured their safety for round two with a 25-19 win over Hampstead.

In the late game, defending premier champions Celtic had their second win of the season, beating Collegiate 35-22.

In Senior A, the likely candidates for promotion, College B, had a 32-19 win over Allenton, which also meant they held on to the Challenge Trophy.

Also in Senior A, Rakaia trumped Hampstead B 48-8 and Celtic B beat Methven B 29-27.

■ BASKETBALL

Hawks, Warriors hit the lead in tight series Atlanta’s Al Horford swooped in to snatch an offensive rebound and dropped in a shot from right under the basket with 1.9 seconds remaining to give the Hawks an 82-81 victory over Washington yesterday and a 3-2 lead in the NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals.

Golden State also took a 3-2 series lead, as the Warriors beat Memphis 98-78.

Atlanta went more than seven minutes in the fourth quarter without making a basket, then ripped off 14 straight points to take the lead.

Then there was another sudden shift as Atlanta went cold, and it looked as though Paul Pierce had doomed Atlanta for the second time in the series.

He got open in the corner and swished a 3-pointer with 8.3

seconds left, putting the Wizards up 81-80.

The Wizards were on the verge of heading home with a chance to wrap up the series.

Atlanta had one more chance.

The Hawks gave the ball to backup point guard Dennis Schroder, who ignited a fourthquarter rally and stayed in the game at the suggestion of AllStar Jeff Teague, who watched

the closing minutes from the bench.

Schroder drove down the lane and put up a shot, which was swatted off the backboard by Wall. But Horford yanked the ball away from Nene, who tumbled to the court, leaving the Hawks centre all alone under the basket. Horford put up the easy shot on a night when both teams struggled offensively.

Jamie Whincup doesn’t know if he’s got the goods to repeat his fightbacks of seasons past and charge to an unprecedented seventh V8 Supercars title in 2015. The Holden superstar sits fifth on the championship standings after a poor outing in Perth, where he finished second, 15th and 19th over the round. Whincup admitted to being the team’s “weakest link” and says he needs to do a better job this weekend at Winton. “I wish I wasn’t in this position,” he said. “It’s no fun having to grind your way back.

Hopefully we can pull through this little form slump.”

No day-night tests New Zealand’s top players are overwhelmingly against plans to play day-night Test cricket when they tour Australia this year, fearing it will “devalue” the game. The concept of day-night cricket played under lights using a pink ball has been enthusiastically promoted by Cricket Australia, which is keen to bring the five-day game to primetime television audiences. CA trialled day-night first class cricket in the 2014-15 Sheffield Shield season with a view to staging the first ever Test under lights when New Zealand tour Australia in November. But NZ players’ association chief executive Heath Mills said Kiwi cricketers viewed a Test series against Australia as “the pinnacle” and wanted it played under traditional rules.

McIlroy ‘not cut-throat’ World No.1 Rory McIlroy isn’t afraid to attack a golf course, but he’s not sure he’s part of a “cut-throat” generation described by Patrick Reed.

American 24-year-old Reed, a fourtime winner on the US PGA Tour, will play alongside 26-year-old McIlroy when the Wells Fargo tees off at Quail Hollow today. Reed believes it is a “cut throat” approach to the game that has seen young players like himself, McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and Jason Day dominate.

In brief First round decider View or purchase photos online guardianonline.co.nz

The Michael Duff Memorial Trophy will find its owner tomorrow in the last week of Mid Canterbury Senior B rugby’s first round. Southern could have made it three first round wins in a row had they not lost to Methven last weekend, however, they remain in the box seat to finish in top after a consolation bonus point has them one point ahead of Celtic. Southern host Rakaia needing a win to claim the silverware for a third straight season, while Celtic’s cause requires them to take down Tinwald and for Rakaia to secure the upset. Should both Southern and Celtic falter, Methven are within reach and are up against the winless Allenton.

Elsewhere Mt Somers meet Collegiate and Hampstead have the bye.

Next weekend the second round begins for the Centennial Mug.

Rakaia staring down the barrel

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Rakaia’s playoff hopes have plummeted following back-toback defeats in the Combined Country Cup rugby competition.

Losses at home to Oxford and Glenmark have seen Rakaia slip back to sixth place behind defending champions Lincoln and three points adrift of fourth placed Oxford.

All Rakaia can do is look to record back-to-back bonus point wins and hope results fall in their favour over the fi-

nal two weeks. They should be able to bring home five points against bottom of the table Hornby before taking on West Melton next weekend.

Celtic on the other hand now sit in third - having tipped over both Southbridge and Glenmark who sit above them - and can go a long way to locking in a quarter-final berth if they can see off Kaiapoi.

Oxford host Southbridge in a game that will be crucial to determine the top four permutations heading into the final week, while Lincoln

look to continue their surge to the finals against Prebbleton and Glenmark are away to the struggling West Melton.

In section two Methven’s championship credentials have been severely dented in recent weeks as they struggled to subdue Hampstead before being undone by Southern at home.

They will have plenty of time to think about the job at hand on the road trip to Ashley, knowing they will need the win to stay in the box seat for a home quarter-final.

Third placed Southern can lock in their place in the playoffs if they can see off fourth placed Burnham-Dunsandel.

The unbeaten section two leaders Waihora host Darfield, the only team capable of moving into the top four.

Hampstead are at home to the winless Ohoka tomorrow, wanting a big win to ensure they remain in the middle bracket after spending the last few seasons stranded in the bottom three.

In the other match Rolleston are at home to Saracens.

College ready to challenge Boys’ High

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College face their toughest test in the UC Rugby Championship tomorrow.

College head to Christchurch to take on defending champions Christchurch Boys’ High School - the most successful school in the 14-year history of the Canterbury Secondary Schools’ competition - and a team which has started 2015 as title favourites again.

The Chiefs have handed 20-yearold Damian McKenzie the No10 jersey ahead of tomorrow’s seasondefining clash with the Hurricanes in Wellington. Having previously experimented with Marty McKenzie and Andrew Horrell at first-five in the weeks since Aaron Cruden was ruled out for the season, coach Dave Rennie has placed his faith in the rookie. It will be McKenzie’s second start of the season at pivot, after filling in for a rested Cruden in the season-opening win over the Blues, and the stakes could hardly be higher. The Chiefs need to win if they wish to avoid an insurmountable deficit at the top of the NZ conference standings. - NZME

CBHS, featuring ex-pat Jesse Houston, are one of four unbeaten teams after three rounds.

College are coming off a confidence-boosting 15-12 win over Christ’s College, and coach Dave McCrea said his charges were raring to go.

“After the win hopefully they have started to believe in the team, “McCrea said.

“We have some good players and just have a few small

things to rectify, and we will have ourselves a great team.”

In last week’s win they avoided the slow start that cost them against Burnside but faded before halftime only to come home strong again, this time doing enough to claim the win.

McCrea said that they won’t be able to get away with any such lapses this weekend, nor could they afford to squander scoring opportunities.”

College hasn’t fared well against the powerhouse of secondary school rugby.

Last year they lost 37-0, however, their best effort was an 11-18 loss at Straven Road in 2013, a far cry from the 98-0 hammering inflicted in 2010.

“Everyone knows it is the toughest one of the season, but we’ll be up for it.”

“We are looking forward to it and they are eager to take up the challenge,” McCrea said.

Tabai Matson has re-committed to the Crusaders rather than taking up John Kirwan’s offer of joining him at the Blues. The Crusaders issued a press release yesterday confirming Matson’s contact with the franchise’s rivals, saying he was sorry for the “unnecessary distraction” speculation about his future had caused. “I love this team and I certainly was not out looking for a new coaching role because I am very happy here. It is true that I was approached by the Blues.

Aside from those initial discussions, nothing further in the way of any formal offer was considered,” Matson said.

- NZME

Rookie gets the nod Young playmaker Jake McIntyre’s country “chill factor” will help him in a demanding Super Rugby debut for the last-placed Queensland Reds, according to captain James Slipper. McIntyre has been thrust into the five eighth role against the in-form Melbourne Rebels (6-5) at Suncorp tonight following a week of turmoil at Ballymore. The 21-year-old has shown enough at training years to convince Slipper that first-game nerves won’t be an issue.

- AAP

Milestone for ‘Canes Tomorrow’s match against the Chiefs marks the 50th game in the midfield for veteran Hurricanes pair Conrad Smith and Ma’a Nonu.

Nonu and Smith first combined against the Force in New Plymouth in 2006. They were the 22nd midfield combination to take the field for the Hurricanes, and there have been a further 21 different combinations since.

Naholo keen to stay a Highlander

BY STEVE HEPBURN Highlanders wing Waisake Naholo (right) is trying to get out of his deal to move to a French club and the New Zealand Rugby Union are reportedly putting pressure on the club to release him from his contract.

The Fijian-born flier signed a two-year deal with French powerhouse Clermont in February, before the Super Rugby season had started. But a breakout season for the Highlanders - and

suggestions he is in the All Blacks frame - have prompted Naholo to try to instigate a plan to scuttle the French deal.

Highlanders general manager Roger Clark said they would dearly love Naholo, the leading try-scorer in Super Rugby with eight this season, to stay with the franchise.

Naholo was working through the issue with Clermont at the moment, Clark said.

Clermont sporting director Jean-Marc Lhermet said New

Zealand Rugby are applying pressure on the club to release Naholo from his contract.

“As it stands, we have a contract of two years with an option that has been signed by the player,” Lhermet is quoted as saying in La Montagne.

“It’s true that his agent reassured us initially when there were noises about the NZRU wanting to keep him.

“Now, his performances in Super Rugby are remarkable and we are under an increasing

amount of pressure from the NZRU. And when the All Black machine gets going, it becomes complicated.

“If the question is, ‘are his chances of playing at Clermont 100 per cent?’ then the answer isn’t yes. Depending on what happens with Naholo, we need either two or three wingers.”

Naholo, who was born in Fiji, turned out for the Blues in 2013 and has also played for Wanganui and Taranaki at provincial level.

Outstanding senior team ADSC Rebels The Rebels had their best ever finish in the Mid Canterbury Softball Open mixed league when they finished runners-up to the Hampstead Hawks.

The team - a melting pot of nationalities- blended together for a memorable season that had them reach the final but fall to the defending champions.

Mid Canterbury Open Tennis Mid Canterbury defended the Browning Shield in the Canterbury Country Tournament at Lincoln. The team comprised of local top juniors and some wily veterans, with two players from the West Coast, came out on top with three wins, beating North Canterbury on a games countback 191-189 before a much more comfortable 14-10 win over Ellesmere and a 15-9 win over Malvern to lift the trophy again.

Hampstead Women’s Hockey Hampstead became the first ever Mid Canterbury women’s team to win the combined Mid-South Canterbury hockey competition when they beat five-time defending champions St Andrews. They won the McLay Cup with a 2-1 win in the final, coming back from a goal down, in just their second year in the competition.

Methven Junior Bowls The Methven Juniors won the Canterbury Bowls Junior 15 fours title. It was the second straight year Methven had won the title for a four with 15 years or less playing experience but with a complete new quartet. Rob Fensom, Jim Lattimore, Lyn Fensom and Bruce Redmond - with a combined playing experience of nine years - won six of their seven pool games and went on to outclass Rangiora 22-4 in the final.

Outstanding senior individual Kimberley Bird

Craig Carter

Bird was one of four young equestrians selected to ride for the South Island Young Riders in the inter-country challenge in Australia – held in conjunction with the Victorian Junior and Young Rider Championship. On borrowed horses Bird had a clear round on day one as the Kiwis went on to finish second to Japan but in finishing ahead of the Australians they won the Juliet Scott Trophy. She picked up a win at the Horse of the Year, winning the 1.20m and was fifth in the junior rider, and had two top 10 finishes at the National Showjumping Championships, as well as regular top five finishes at shows around the South Island.

Carter’s big summer on the bowling greens had him named Bowls Canterbury’s most consistent male player. He won the Canterbury pathway triples then the zone 5 qualifier before finishing runner-up in the national final. He was also runner-up in the pathway fours and made the quarter-finals of the singles. He played rep bowls for Canterbury and Mid Canterbury, and received a gold star after winning his fifth Mid Canterbury title, bagging both the triples and pairs honours. As well as being president and green keeper of the Methven Bowing Club, Carter collected the club’s senior men’s triples, pairs and fours titles.

Outstanding senior individual Jason Christie

Georgia Clarke

Christie came home in third place in the New Zealand Elite Men’s National Road Race Championships in Christchurch, and was fourth in the elite men’s time trial.

He won two stages on the New Zealand Cycle Classic tour to finish second overall.

Christie is currently ranked fourth in the UCI Oceania Tour rankings - aided by three stage wins in the Rhonda Philippines.

He also had wins in the Grape Ride and Around Brunner one-day races.

Clarke cracked the New Zealand women’s domestic cricket scene becoming a regular starter for the Otago Sparks.

The youngster was often thrown the new ball in both Twenty20 and 50 over matches in her first season at the Sparks, with the Dunedin based side hosting the Women’s Twenty20 final but going down to the Wellington Blaze.

She also played for the Otago Under 21 team at the national tournament. Clarke was selected as one of six players in a New Zealand White Ferns emerging talent squad and played in an invitational team against England in Tauranga.

Lana Donaldson Donaldson (left) is the New Zealand women’s open slalom champion after collecting the gold at the National Championships. She skied a personal best and South Island record to join an elite group of just five female skiers to ski four buoys on the 12m line. She also won bronze in the women’s tricks.

Donaldson attended the Asia-Oceania Championships in Perth, recording the second best slalom score but finished fourth in the final.

She is the Canterbury champion and holds four South Island records.

Karl O’Neill O’Neill played for the ASDC Rebels softball team and helped lead the team to their best ever result in the Mid Canterbury Open Mixed league, finishing runners-up to the Hampstead Hawks. He also coaches the Ashburton College under 19s in the Canterbury Rookie League.

Sandra Keith

James Southby

Keith was recalled to the New Zealand Black Jacks this year and played in the trans-Tasman challenge.

Public Notice

Hampstead’s Karen McAulay attempting to control possession against Timaru Girls’ at the NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf last weekend.

090515-JJ-053

Finalists to meet again

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A grand final rematch of sorts plays out in the MidSouth Canterbury Hockey competition tomorrow when Hampstead hosts Cambridge.

Hampstead are at home for the fourth straight week in a run of six home games to start the season, looking to secure a fourth straight win.

Their opponents, Cambridge, are the reincarnation of the former five-time defending champion St Andrew’s side that Hampstead dethroned last year for their maiden championship title.

With both sides unbeaten so far it shapes as an early season grand final preview.

Hampstead-Collegians are

chasing their first win when they host Geraldine, while down in Timaru Craighead takes on Timaru Girls’.

In men’s action Wakanui Blue play Northern Hearts in the last game on the NBS Ashburton turf with both sides in unfamiliar positions at the bottom of the table.

Perennial title contenders Northern Hearts are currently without a win while Wakanui Blue bagged their first victory over Cambridge 3-0 last weekend.

Defending men’s champions Wakanui Black are the only side to head south, coming up against Cambridge.

Top-of-the-table Tainui take on Timaru Boys’ in Oamaru.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Any pressure is the kind that you need for a communication breakthrough or to find the courage to move out of your comfort zone.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Despite the fact that financial tensions are likely to be once more on the rise, this time it comes with a very real chance of a breakthrough.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Showing up in your own life and in your relationships is now mandatory, with some trial and error required until you find the right balance.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Any work/life balance or work tension today is more likely to be a sign that you’re playing the game harder than you need to.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Being a team player can’t be at the expense of your own needs and especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) For the first time in 28 years a professional chapter is confronted by Saturn, which can’t be at the expense of home and family life.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) While there may be some communication challenges or pressure today, this comes with the potential for a communication breakthrough.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Any financial tension today might push some buttons, but will provide some real motivation on the income and financial fronts.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As personal and/or relationship tensions come to a head you’re able to see this as coming from a need to remain true to yourself and your relationships.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) For the first time in 28 years Saturn is on the other side of the sky policing a pace that is more in the slow and steady range.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Having the communication lines open especially on the relationship front, needs to be your No. 1 priority today.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) This is normally a time of year when the focus shifts to home and family matters, but this year there may be some work/life balance issues.

Man U’s ‘dream-chaser’ Manchester United’s new signing Memphis Depay has declared his ambition to become the best player in the world during his time at Old Trafford.

The 21-year-old Holland forward agreed to join United from Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven last week in a deal reportedly worth around STG25 million ($NZ49 million).

Depay, who has scored 25

goals this season, has the words ‘Dream Chaser’ tattooed on his chest and said that it was his dream to emulate superstars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. “‘Dream Chaser’ stands for me chasing my dreams,” Depay said yesterday.

“I believe I can be one of the best players in the world and I have to dream and believe to

achieve. It is tattooed on my chest. You just have to work every day on your dreams.

“My dreams started with going to the World Cup and then when I was there, I scored two goals and I was very happy.

“But when the World Cup was finished, I realised that was not it. I had to take more onto the pitch. There was more to do.

“So after the World Cup in

pre-season I spoke to my manager and said I have to keep focused. Scoring in the World Cup was good, but not the end of it.

“Now I am on fire.”

Depay’s international teammate Leroy Fer has compared him to Ronaldo, who became a crowd favourite during his sixyear spell at Old Trafford, but the United new boy knows he is not on a par with the Portuguese yet.

“I heard Leroy Fer speak about it and it is great to hear that from other players,” Depay said.

“If you read it in the media, it is great, but I am 21 and I have not reached the level of Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a big hero for me and one day I hope to reach that level.

“He scores so many goals and I want to fight to be one of the best players in the world.”- AFP
