by, said the raids were carried out in the aftermath of a gang clash in Mona Square in June.

The house at 23 McDonald Street had since been vacated and it remains unoccupied.

Eight people were charged in conjunction with the Mona Square attack. All listed their address as 21 McDonald Street.

Another neighbour, Simon Green, confirmed the same family had occupied the address for several years.

Those charged in connection with the brawl will stand trial at a

High Court sitting in Timaru next year.

Police have alleged the group, described as gang affiliates, attacked three men in Mona Square on June 19, using sticks and a wheel brace as weapons.

It was the third gang-related incident police had dealt with in 12 months.

Two groups clashed in a park on Davis Crescent in August last year and festering emotions boiled over again outside the Ashburton Courthouse soon after, when some of the accused

At the time Ashburton police Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said the two rival groups aligned themselves with the Black Power and Mongrel Mob gangs by wearing associated colours.

On Monday night two men and a woman were assaulted by a group of eight people armed with baseball bats.

The victims have remained unco-operative and refused to make a formal complaint.

It is not known whether the incident was gang related.

Wano murder accused appears in

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

The man accused of murdering Tainui James Wano in Ashburton on Tuesday night has appeared in the Christchurch District Court.

Police have alleged Wano died of stab wounds at a McDonald Street address shortly before 10.30pm.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 23-year-old Ashburton man was arrested soon afterwards and held in custody pending yesterday’s brief court appearance.

Duty lawyer Kiran Paima said he had completed a legal aid applica-

tion but no application was made for bail.

He asked for the accused to be remanded in custody without plea until October 4, 9am at the Timaru High Court.

Paima requested interim name suppression, along with suppression of the police summary of facts – an application not opposed by police.

Judge David Saunders said there would be a high level of public interest in the case and asked Paima on what grounds he sought interim name suppression.

Paima said it was “particularly

early days” in the case and said interim suppression would preserve fair trial rights.

Judge Saunders granted an interim order for name suppression until the accused’s next court appearance, where he stressed that “further and better grounds” would be needed to be lodged.

Wano’s mother was too upset to comment but his friends and whanau have taken to social media to express their grief.

Wano spent much of his younger life in Geraldine, where he attended Geraldine Primary School and later the town’s high school.

Ashburton ‘still a safe place to live’

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay is appealing for the community to remain calm in the wake of Tuesday night’s stabbing death delivering an assurance the town remains a safe place to live.

Speaking about the alleged murder of Tainui James Wano at a McDonald Street address, McKay said he felt for the victim and his family and was relieved police acted swiftly in executing the arrest of the 23-year-old murder accused.

“I have full confidence in the Ashburton police and want to reassure people the council is spending just on $300,000 a year on initiatives such as security cameras and working in a co-ordinated way with all related agencies including the police,” he said.

Fears that police numbers in Mid Canterbury were inadequate should be seen in context, as it was a countrywide problem.

McKay, along with other mayors, had approached the Government through Local Government New Zealand with his concerns on the matter of police numbers, citing population increases.

“It’s up to all of us to work with different sectors in the community and the police and to report suspicious behaviour,” he said.

“At the end of the day the large numbers of people settling in Ashburton tell me it’s a safe place and I believe them.”

Murder site known as party house

Neighbours reported hearing an angry man shouting his intentions to kill outside the Ashburton address where a man was murdered on Tuesday night.

Police have charged a 23-yearold Allenton man with fatally stabbing 25-year-old Tainui James Wano, who was found dead inside the Housing New Zealand property at about 10.30pm on Tuesday.

McDonald Street resident Selina Griffiths heard a man shouting outside the house at the centre of the police investigation shortly before emergency services arrived.

She got up and pulled back a curtain and observed a man swearing and threatening to kill someone, however she did not know whether it was the accused.

the lawn – he was seriously angry, he was shouting I’m going to f… ing kill you, I’m going to stab you, and stuff like that.”

Griffiths, whose children were asleep in her home at the time, described the property opposite as a party house, where people frequently met to drink. But Tuesday night’s gathering was relatively quiet.

“There’s often disturbances – shouting and screaming when they are drinking,” she said.

“Last night was pretty quiet until that guy started nutting off.”

The Cakaunitabua family who live on Princes Street confirmed the property across the road was a party house.

Although they saw police and emergency services at the address on Tuesday it was not an unknown occurrence and they though little of it at the time. Losana Cakaunit-

abua was shocked to learn of the man’s death yesterday morning.

“It’s like something you see on TV – not something that happens across the road,” she said.

Simon Green, who also lives on McDonald Street, said the same family had occupied the address for several years. He described a place where “lots of young people” gathered.

“They never hassled the neighbours, but they were antisocial and would fight on the street sometimes.”

However, Green was not entirely surprised by the brutal death.

“It was always going to happen,” he said.

The family had gathered to commemorate the 2015 death of a relative, thought to be Tainui Wano’s brother, 16-year-old Rangi Wano, who died in a horror car crash in Christchurch.

LOCAL BODY ELECTIONS 2016

Mayoral candidates front up This week Ashburton’s two mayoral candidates, Angus McKay and Donna Favel, will answer some of the questions that are on Guardian readers’ minds. We asked for your questions and we’ve now put those questions to the two candidates.

On Saturday, to coincide with the arrival of ballot papers in voters’ letterboxes, the Guardian will be publishing a voter guide. This will contain profile statements and photos of each candidate for all issues at stake across the district.

Question: Do you use Facebook?

Donna Favel: Personally I have used Facebook since mid 2009, I had a Councillor Donna Favel page launched mid-2011, which is currently titled Donna Favel for Mayor.

I also manage a page Arts in Ashburton.

Facebook has been a useful tool to connect with constituents and keep informed of local issues.

Angus McKay

Angus McKay: I keep up to date with social media – it’s great for keeping across local issues. I also love the quality of communication that comes from meeting people face-to-face or chatting on the phone.

Question: What is your opinion on hosing restrictions in Ashburton?

Donna Favel: I am of the mind that a rule is a rule for everyone. If we are running low on water and need to regulate our water consumption by using water restrictions, this should also apply to our parks and reserves.

There is smart technology farmers are using that we should be using to better utilise this resource.

Donna Favel

Angus McKay: I oppose hosing restrictions in Ashburton.

We coped well last year without them and there was no reported loss in pressure to households in the evenings.

Common sense must prevail and

locals did just that by watering their gardens and lawns only when needed. Education is the key.

Experience has shown that watering education does take a number of years to “bed in”.

Question: Tourism New Zealand has identified that when local government supports/increases investment into tourism and marketing activities, the entire district benefits.

What value do you place on tourism and how will you support the promotion of the district to international visitors?

Donna Favel: With internet, many trips are well planned before the tourist leaves for their holiday, online presence is important.

In relation to on-ground presence, after a recent trip to Japan, I saw first-hand the relevance and importance of international signs for overseas visitors.

This is something that Experience Mid Canterbury have been advocating for some time and I support this.

Angus McKay: The present level of financial support from the council is right.

I place a high value on tourism in this district.

Two exciting future projects include a working agrodome and new hotel.

I will also continue to support the Canterbury Mayoral Forum in attracting more international visitors and flights into Canterbury.

I take every opportunity to highlight this district’s strengths and its scenic beauty to everyone I meet.

Question: Do you believe Ashburton has a crime problem.? Should we have more police?

Donna Favel: My understanding is we are currently short staffed, despite questions to police and our MP, I’m struggling to a cohesive answer from police or government.

We need more enforcement both town centre and the surrounds.

It involves a co-ordinated plan including police, Talbot Security, Town Watch, Maori Wardens, Town Watch, Town Ambassadors and Community.

I have ridden along with Talbot Security and Town Watch on night time patrols and praise their efforts.

Angus McKay: We do need more police.

With the district’s population growth I advocated and supported Local Government New Zealand in a push for more police.

The result is an indication from Government that numbers will increase.

I also initiated the late night violence mayoral committee, with community input, which is currently being refined.

Compared to the rest of New Zealand Ashburton is a safe place to live and bring up children.

Ashburton police do a great job, and it’s up to all of us to support them.

In brief Art workshops Always wanted to learn to paint?

Then the Ashburton Society of Arts can help. The society is running six workshops from October 1 at its Short Street studio, starting with watercolours. The workshops will be tutored by society committee members who will take new painters through the basics; they will also provide the materials. The other classes will be drawing on October 8, acrylics on October 15, oil on October 22, pastels on October 29 and collage on November 5. Each workshop runs from 9,30am until 4pm and costs $25. Society spokesperson Jac Sparks said it was a great chance for anyone who was interested in painting to learn the absolute basics in each medium.

People wanting to attend should ring her on 02-12211011.

Pre-charge warnings Police are more likely to let non-Maori offenders off with pre-charge warnings than Maori offenders, a report has found.

The report by the Independent Police Conduct Authority found “a number of issues” with pre-charge warnings policy and practice, including that the system was used “inconsistently and sometimes inappropriately”. Released yesterday, the report revealed “substantial and undesirable inconsistencies between police districts in the extent to which precharge warnings are used and the types of offenders to whom they are given”.

Cliff-hanger rescue Three people have been rescued from a rental car which went over a cliff south of Westport. A police spokeswoman said they were called to the incident south of Charleston on the West Coast at 12.55pm. The car had left State Highway 6 and gone about 10m down a bank. A Westport News journalist at the scene said the rental car had been travelling north towards Westport when it went over a tight hairpin bend. It plunged over the cliff and came to rest in bush after what firefighters described as a “frightening fall”.

The three people stayed in the precariously perched car while they waited for rescuers to abseil down and rescue them.

■ METHVEN RECYCLING

Cameras to spot dumpers

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Security cameras could be installed at Methven’s recycling drop-off to discourage illegal dumpers and deter people from the area at night.

The Ashburton District Council looks after the drop-off site on Methven Chertsey Road and

waste manager Craig Goodwin said a security camera system was being investigated that uses two high definition cameras that could see further at night than a standard camera and one which could capture number plates.

He said it would deter people from behaving badly and sleeping in the cardboard recycling bins.

It was thought he was picked up with cardboard to be recycled and compressed into the bale. Goodwin said it was a worldwide problem, with 11 similar deaths reported in the UK in the past year.

“It is something that seems to happen around the world ... homeless people on a cold night climb into the cardboard bins and

While the camera, which would have an action-motivated sensor, would help identify illegal dumpers, it would also stop people with no place to sleep from using the area.

Earlier this year the body of a homeless man was found in a cardboard bale at a recycling plant in Hamilton.

get picked up in the morning.”

Drunk people were also prone to doing the same thing.

If anything did happen, the cameras would record it, he said.

Council is looking at the security of all its remote rural sites and cameras could also be rotated around the different locations if problems were identified.

Making life safer for our black-billed gulls

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Bulldozers are at work in the Ashburton River this week creating safer nesting grounds for the endangered black-billed gull.

Dead weeds are being cleared from single islands in the main fairway of the river near the State Highway 1 bridge and water channels being deepened so the area will be more appealing to the gulls and safer from predators like feral cats, rats and stoats.

Ashburton water zone manager Donna Lill said predator control would also be undertaken along both riverbanks and vehicle access restricted during the gulls’ breeding season, which was from now until January.

Black-billed gulls are the most threatened gull species in the world and the large colony that has nested on the Ashburton River near the bridge in past years was one of the largest in the world, she said.

“That makes it every special and efforts to protect them and improve breeding success are even more important.”

A specialist wildlife group has been contracted to write a management plan, due to be finished at the end of the month, and has been working with local groups including Forest & Bird, the Department of Conservation, Environment Canterbury and Mid Canterbury 4WD Club.

Lill said one of the key management actions was island creation.

The gulls nest in open gravel in the riverbed but are wary of vegetation near the bridge that has been sprayed and is dead but still standing, she said.

No floods in the river in recent years meant fewer areas of clean gravel for nesting.

She said there was good evidence from natural areas that breeding success was greater on islands and pilots were under way to improve and refine island creation for breeding success.

Signs will be erected along the riverbed advising access to the area is restricted.

The total area to be cleared is 8ha, starting from just above the bridge to several hundred metres downstream.

■ ROBOCUP COMPETITION

Top placing for student

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

An Ashburton student placed third in New Zealand in the junior category of the Robocup competition last weekend.

Jared Butler made his up to the competition in Auckland on Friday, where he competed on the Saturday.

The Ashburton Christian School student gained entry to the national competition by scoring second in the regionals in Christchurch on August 20.

The 12-year-old competed against 15 other teams to design, build and code a robot that could follow a line and turn on coloured points to eventually get to the end where it had to push a can out of a zone.

Teams could have up to four people each, however, Jared went in alone.

Jared’s mother, Margaret Butler, said he had been playing with robotics since the start of the year but it was only last term he really started to get really into it.

Coming up to the competition Jared would spend between two and four hours a week working on his design.

Butler is a teacher at the school and she said Jared started getting into robotics through her husband, who is a teacher at Ashburton Intermediate, which has entered their own teams in the competitions.

She said she hopes to keep fostering his interest in robotics and next year he will enter the competition in the premiere category.

The premiere category involves building a robot that can follow a course, but also pick up a can and place it on a shelf above.

Jared Butler shows off the robot he designed and the course it had to follow in the Robocup competition.

IS ‘sleeper cell’ arrested

A terrorism suspect is led away at the German Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe, Germany.

PHOTO AP

Three Syrian men believed to have been sent to Germany by Islamic State as a possible “sleeper cell” have been arrested during raids.

The three are accused of coming to Germany in mid-November at the behest of IS “in order either to carry out an assignment they had already received or to keep themselves ready for further instructions,” federal prosecutors said.

Their arrests followed raids at refugee homes in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s northernmost state. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the men had been under observation for months.

“This may have been a sleeper cell,” he said.

De Maiziere said the suspects appear to have made it to Europe through the same channels as two men who blew themselves up outside France’s national stadium in November in the Paris attacks claimed by IS. “Everything points to the same smuggling organisation as with the Paris attackers having brought these three who were arrested to Germany,” he said. “And

everything points to the travel documents having come from the same workshop.”

Prosecutors identified the suspects only as Mahir Al-H, 17, Mohamed A, 26, and Ibrahim M, 18.

The three travelled to Germany via Turkey and Greece, the route used by most migrants to Europe last year. Mahir Al-H. joined IS in Raqqa, Syria, earlier last year and received weapons and explosives training, prosecutors said, before he and the other two suspects in October told an IS official responsible for “operations and attacks outside the IS area” that they would travel to Europe.

The three were provided with passports by IS and were given a “high fourfigure sum” of cash in US dollars as well as mobile phones with a pre-installed communication program, prosecutors said in a statement.

The Federal Criminal Police Office said that six locations in two German states were searched Tuesday. It said that, as well as the arrests, “extensive material” was seized as evidence.

The book will include personal photographs and drawings from the former One Direction band member.

Malik quit the group in 2015 and released his solo debut, Mind of Mine, earlier this year. He canceled scheduled concerts in the United Kingdom and Dubai in recent months because of “extreme anxiety around major live solo performances”.

“This makes it the warmest September day since 1911,” it said.

OUR VIEW

Ashburton has clearly entered new territory

Linda Clarke

SENIOR REPORTER

M

urder is not a common occurrence in Mid Canterbury, despite what you might read on Facebook.

Most of us woke up yesterday to hear that a young man had been stabbed and died at a house on McDonald Street, in Ashburton.

His death was the eighth murder in the district since Kirsty Bentley was killed in January 1999.

The list makes grisly reading: Bentley’s body was found in the Rakaia Gorge, Donald Linwood died after being stabbed at a barbecue in Methven in 2004, Sina Solomona was killed at her Cass Street home in 2012 after returning from work, AJ Gairns was found in a swampy area off West Street in June 2014 and later that year in September Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland were fatally shot at the Ashburton Winz office; in May this year the body of Renee Duckmanton was discovered off State Highway 1 just north of the Rakaia Bridge.

And now Tainui James Wano.

In the period between 1913 and 1999, there were eight reported murders in our district.

In the old days, a homicide led the six o’clock news and in Ashburton you walked home from Friday night drinks after work through the Ashburton Domain.

Not any more, in fact not for some time.

There’s been an escalation of violence on the streets over the past five years, most of it alcohol-fuelled; petty crime and vandalism has been the same.

But murder is big news and not the kind we want for our town.

It is bad enough that somebody’s son is dead, and someone else’s son is charged with his murder.

These young men belonged to families.

Police will now piece together what happened, while sending assurances to the community.

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay says Ashburton is still a safe place to live.

And maybe, compared to other places, it is – but we have clearly entered new territory.

YOUR VIEW Civic centre In your letters column (Wednesday, September 14) I read with utter disbelief that Opus are a consultant to Eastfield.

This is simply not true, past or present, and warrants no further consideration.

Brian Davidson Chairman Eastfield Investments Ltd * * * I take exception to Ashburton District Council’s Paul Brake saying in his recent press release that “Heritage New Zealand do not recognise any heritage or cultural value in the buildings”.

He was talking about the Baring Square Methodist Church and former County Council buildings.

Has Mr Brake actually asked Heritage New Zealand?

I believe he has carefully worded this out of context.

Heritage New Zealand would never say that these buildings have no heritage or cultural value. The heritage, social and culture value in these buildings is huge. If people that work at council are unable to see this, then we in Ashburton have a serious problem!

If he had said that neither building appeared on Heritage New Zealand’s listing, he would be right. They don’t, as many of our heritage buildings don’t. If he had said they failed to appear on the ADC heritage schedule he would also be right, they don’t.

In July 2009, I and others from our group worked with consultants Boffa Miskell, NZHPT and council to revise the heritage section of the district plan. By the time we realised we had com-

pletely missed the Baring Square Church the schedule had already gone out for consultation. As for the Country Council building, my notes from the time tell me our group members ticked it to be added. But at this time it was being considered by ADC as a sale to the Licensing Trust who planned to make it a boutique hotel! Perhaps this was why it never made it to the list!

Also, I ask, why is Ashburton District Council defending the Your Council, Your Library, Your Voice discussion paper produced by its consultants Opus? After all was it not created to stimulate public debate and gather opinion?

My last point is that the Your Council, Your Library, Your Voice discussion paper is very heavy reading for the average person to digest. I feel it is a shame our organisation, and others, have had to point out the consequences of some options. This included the use of our own limited funds for paid advertisements to do so!

Please, don’t just think about filling in the feedback form – do it! They close next Monday, September 18.

Julie Luxton Chairwoman Historic Places Mid Canterbury * * * As a councillor in the last Borough Council in the 1980s, I most strongly advocate our civic centre remaining where it is. A building well known at the present location to all of Mid Canterbury and has served us well. It may well be inadequate for present number of staff, but provision is there to enlarge and rectify this, with adjacent council owned land. Why the need to spend many thou-

sands of dollars on new builds, when those considerable dollars may well be put to better use, on the upgrading of existing structure. By all means develop Eastfield for the ongoing development of our beautiful town.

Where council is presently situated, we have adequate parking, a beautiful outlook with the library opposite, courthouse next door and cenotaph across the road. I am sure the cost of upgrading both library and council building would not equal that of rebuilding.

I approve of council finally seeing sense and listening to our retailers re the parking in the CBD. Those meters were diabolical.

Property owners also need to lower the cost of rental to encourage businesses back into town. As for Baring Square church, I hope and pray that it may be preserved. It is a beautiful building which we should all cherish, as is the whole of Baring Square.

Thank you for the privilege of airing my views.

Iris Officer-Holmes * * * Great letter from M Hanrahan in the Guardian (September 14) and I agree totally with his insights, that we all need to take note of.

Council Business Support Group Manager, Paul Brake, has said: “Neither the Methodist Church nor the old County Council building are heritage listed. Heritage New Zealand do not recognise any heritage or cultural value in the buildings.”

I too have to take issue with this statement as buildings do not need a heritage listing to have heritage values. We the community recognise the value

of them as icons of our past social and cultural history.

The ADC must refrain from such misleading comments and urgently get these buildings assessed. I’m surprised that Opus has not done this as they have “in-house” heritage expertise and it should have been one of the first considerations in their consultation process.

It is not appropriate that Opus and/or the ADC can consider any decision to sacrifice these buildings without proper due heritage diligence.

Anything less would be a crime of heritage vandalism.

Asset Control on the issue, however the roadblock isn’t unique to New Zealand, with many international businesses, banks, and governments also looking to see how some of the larger deals that have been slated with Iran can be transacted.

“An inadvertent breach of US, New York State, EU or other jurisdictions’ sanctions or anti-money laundering laws could have significant consequences for a New Zealand bank and its US operations as well as correspondent banking relationships,” ScottHowman said.

“New Zealand banks are mindful that Iran has the potential to be a significant market for some of their customers and are actively working closely with the government and the Ministry of For-

eign Affairs and Trade to identify potential solutions.”

Merchandise trade data from Statistics New Zealand shows trading in some goods such as dairy products, wool, and seafood continued throughout the sanction period. Some businesses have been able to export to Iran because their products fell outside the old sanctions regime or because their banks have been able to conduct significant due diligence.

“Banks continue to monitor the global situation closely and are well positioned to respond should it change,” Scott-Howman said.

“If customers are looking to export or do business in Iran they should talk to their bank who will work with them on a case by case basis.”

NZ exports to Iran held back as banks fear hefty penalties New Zealand’s export trade with Iran hasn’t picked up as hoped following the lifting of sanctions in February because the country’s banks are wary of potential fines or exclusions from the US banking system should they fall foul of a quagmire of regulations and restrictions.

Along with other Western countries, New Zealand lifted sanctions against Iran in February after the country agreed to roll back its nuclear ambitions.

However, New Zealand’s export trade to the Middle East’s secondlargest economy hasn’t stepped up despite the lifting of sanctions because banks are fearful they or their parent companies could face penalties in the US, which would outweigh any benefits from doing business with Iran.

“Global sanctions on banks creates a complex environment for our members and the sanctions relating to Iran are no exception,” New Zealand Bankers’ Association chief executive Karen ScottHowman said.

“Despite the easing of UN sanctions against Iran and the work that the government has already undertaken to help enable business between our countries, banks are currently of the view that the situation requires them to proceed very cautiously.”

New Zealand’s banks have been in talks with the government and the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign

jumped 15 per cent to $461,000 as the volume increased 14 per cent to 765. The Wellington region has the lowest level of properties available, with just seven weeks supply, according to the institute’s estimate.

In the Canterbury/Westland region, prices lifted just 1.9 per cent to $420,000 as the volume gained 5.9 per cent to 914. In Taranaki, prices advanced 8.8 per cent to $310,000, as the volume gained 13 per cent to 188. For the Hawke’s Bay region, prices advanced 12 per cent to $320,000 as the volume edged up 2.4 per cent to 261.

Meanwhile, prices in the Northland region rose 12 per cent to $362,000 as the volume advanced 3.5 per cent to 267.

The institute noted that section sales, which are exempt from tighter bank lending restrictions, jumped 37 per cent from a year earlier, which is likely to stoke growth in building consents and bodes well for growth in housing supply.

New Zealand house prices continued to advance in August, with both Auckland and the Nelson/ Marlborough region hitting new records, as the number of properties put up for sale declines, according to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand.

The national median house price advanced 5.8 per cent to $492,000 in August from the same month a year earlier, the institute said. There were 7527 sales in August, down 3 per cent on a year earlier, and the number of houses available for sale shrank by 18 per cent.

“The underlying trends indicate that the struggle for stock is the single biggest factor driving market behaviour and price expectations across the country, as we await spring listings,” institute spokesman Bryan Thomson said.

“We have been highlighting the lack of inventory for some time, and it continues to be a major contributing factor in the volume

lending to property investors. One of the central bank’s biggest concerns has been Auckland where a lack of housing coincided with a record net inflow of new migrants, pushing up prices faster than elsewhere. Today’s data show the median Auckland sale price jumped 14 per cent to a new record $842,500, while sales volumes were down by about 20 per cent at 2413.

Prices also hit a new record in the Nelson/Marlborough region, gaining 12 per cent to $430,000, while volumes advanced 12 per cent to 259.

Prices gained the most in Central Otago Lakes, up 41 per cent to $650,000, while volumes increased 27 per cent to 137, followed by the Waikato/Bay of Plenty region, rising 23 per cent to $435,000 from a year earlier, with a 6.8 per cent fall in sales to 1386, and Manawatu/Wanganui where the price increased 15 per cent to $246,500 as sales gained 35 per cent to 418.

■ ALLIANCE GROUP ROADSHOW

Farmers encouraged to attend roadshow Leading red meat processor and exporter Alliance Group is encouraging Mid Canterbury farmers to attend one of its 19 roadshow events across the country next month.

The co-operative’s annual roadshow, which begins in Darfield on October 4, will provide farmer-shareholders and suppliers with an opportunity to hear from management and directors about the performance of the company.

They will also get an update on the progress of Alliance Group’s strategy, prospects for the new season and hear about a number of new initiatives.

David Surveyor, chief executive of Alliance Group, said: “As New Zealand’s leading red meat co-operative, we’re committed to listening to farmers’ views and our annual road-show is always of interest to shareholders, suppliers and those interested in the co-operative.

“Although it is a busy period for farmers, it’s vital our shareholders have the opportunity to hear directly from management and directors about their company,” he said.

“That’s why we have a mix of morning, afternoon and evening events so we can accommodate as many of our farmer-shareholders as possible.

“We’re also encouraging farmers to bring their partners and new shareholders.”

The co-operative is now a year into the roll-out of its strategy, which is designed to improve the co-operative’s performance and lift returns to farmer-shareholders, Surveyor said.

“Alliance Group is making significant progress and seeing measurable results and we remain focused on transforming the shape of the business,” Surveyor said.

The roadshow finishes in Blenheim on October 27.

■ LIVE PIG RELEASES

Warning over live pig releases

A lesion on a pig with Tb.

Mike Salvesen

Mid Canterbury farmers and hunters are being warned that live pig releases could increase their risk of spreading bovine tuberculosis (Tb).

The Canterbury Tb-free committee says there have been recent reports of live pig releases in the Ashburton District and not only are they illegal, they can put nearby farms at serious risk of Tb by infecting the local wildlife.

Committee member and Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers president Mike Salvesen said a pig was unlikely to pass Tb onto stock directly.

“But once it is hunted, the head is cut open and available to possums and ferrets.

This can begin the Tb cycle.”

If a live infected pig is caught, moved and released into Tb-free areas, the pig will be hunted and once the carcass opened, infected tissue will be available for wildlife to scavenge.

Salvesen said this means hunters can accidentally spread Tb over long distances through live pig releases and pig head dumping.

“It’s all about keeping the wildlife population free of Tb.” Pigs live long lives and scavenge on in-

fected possums in areas where Tb is present. This includes parts of North Canterbury, Otago and the West Coast. Once infected, pigs can live a long time with the disease and wall off the disease in the lymph nodes of the head.

One of the first signs of Tb in wildlife is a local herd breakdown – found either through Tb testing or during meat inspection at the processors. This can be devastating for the farmer, especially if the business relies on moving or selling animals.

Canterbury Tb-free committee chair Malcolm Gilbert has experienced Tb on his farm several times.

“The value of your stock halves and it is very difficult to move stock once you are placed under restrictions. Farmers and hunters need to be aware of the risks.”

Farmers are advised not to allow the release of live pigs on their farms and make sure any pig heads are well buried or disposed of in a covered offal pit.

They should also talk to hunters who ask for access and make sure they are aware of the Tb risks and how to prevent its spread.

If hunters or farmers kill a pig with a suspicious lesion, they should call OSPRI on 0800 482 463.

www.guardianonline.co.nz Ashburton Golf Club We had a great weekend, just passed at the Brandon. The start of Club champs knockouts brought some really good games, with a few blow outs and some going extra holes. This Saturday promises to have more of the same with some wonderful matches in prospect. I won’t do any tipping, as I don’t like putting too much pressure on players during club champs, but safe to say when finals day comes around, the names going onto the honours board will have earned the right to be there.

On Sunday we had the pleasure of hosting our great friends from Tinwald to play for the annual Foodstuffs Trophy. A beautiful spring day brought out some good numbers from both clubs, and I am pleased to announce that the Brandon boys and girls did us proud with some wonderful scores and managed to snatch back the trophy. Big well done to Sally Lemon, Daphne Hinton, Bruce Day and David Fisher for leading the way. I have said before and I will say again, the mixed days are the life blood of our club and it is great to see a full clubhouse on a gorgeous day with plenty of friendly banter. Please keep your eyes and ears open for future mixed golf days. Good golfing

Ashburton MSA Petanque Club Ashburton recently had eight players take part in the Tremor Trophy played at Ascot. This trophy was named in memory of the first earthquake and money made from this is donated to a charity.

Ashburton U3A Part 2 of the Theology mini-series continued with Christchurch based speaker Richard Corby who presented Buddhism in the West to a large audience of members and guests. Mr Corby was welcomed by Edith Smith and thanked

A practising Buddhist for nineteen years, Richard Corby grew up in a Christian home in Australia. He belongs to the Diamond Way Buddhists, originally from Tibet, which is run by lay people.

There are no robes or shaved heads.

The Diamond Way is now throughout Europe and most large Western cities have at least one Buddhist group.

Following World War Two Buddhism established in America but it was not until the 1960s/70s when interest grew and embraced many Westerners deciding to become Buddhist monks or nuns.

Following the Chinese invasion of Tibet, people became more aware of Buddhism and it drew many new followers. Buddhist meditation methods are now widely used to undo stress habits through Mindfulness.

The three pillars of Buddhism are Contemplation, Meditation and Morality.

The first brings thought, information and analysis. The second helps to open ‘conceptual’ boxes, allowing mental

Blind Foundation Ashburton Community Committee At the recent AGM, Chairman Dennis Swaney reported on the activities of this committee and its members.

We have had a very busy year, with eleven committee meetings, ten lunch meetings providing entertainment for our members, and eight outings. Our entertainers give freely of their time and talents, and they are most appreciated. Outings took us to: The Tinwald Red Cross, Lake Hood, Christmas Dinner at the MSA, New Year BBQ hosted by Carol and Donald Williamson at Coniston, The Stables to join the Christchurch Blind group, a visit to the vintage cars at Galletlys, the Rotary Club of Ashburton’s 66th party for our group, and a special afternoon tea to acknowledge Rona McConnell’s 30 years and Mac Bruce’s 10 years’ service on this committee.

Red Puppy Appeal in March and Blind week held in November, were both organised by Andrew McDonald. We would like to thank Andrew, collectors, other clubs that assisted and our own Committee members for the success of both these fund raising collections.

We have a team of hard working, caring people. I would like to say a very heartfelt thank you to all our committee and volunteers, including Alan McQuarters, and the wonderful groups and individuals who host us on outings.

Chairman Dennis Swaney, Vice Chair Joy Wilson, Secretary Eleanor Weir, Treasurer Carol Hall, Committee Pamela Bird, Mac Bruce, Lynne Curd, Ian Forbes, Marilyn Galletly, Verna Hampton, Sheila Hare, Rona Hayward, Judith Hughes, Rona McConnell, Margaret Reddecliffe, Beverley Watkins and Betty Wilson.

Cavendish Club August meeting was new member’s choice – when Lynn introduced Paul Chamberlain as the speaker who gave a most interesting insight into the Ups and Downs of a Policeman’s life.

Paul started off in Southland and retired in Ashburton after a dedicated career.

Lynn thanked Paul for his enlightening talk enjoyed by all.

Vice President’s Afternoon Mrs Jill Marshall introduced our very interesting and humorous speaker for the afternoon – Dr Sue Giller who is national co-ordinator for Fibre in New Zealand spoke to us about winning a Harris Tweed Scholarship award to the Outer Hebrides on the West Coast of Scotland – she was a Mason Trust Scholar.

She took two spinning wheels with her and visited many places in England on her way to Scotland including a wool fest in Cumbria, where she stayed with relatives, Wordsworth’s Country at Lake Windermere, The Isle of Skye and the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse.

She found the West Coast of Lewis very pretty but stark. Harris Tweed was originally made in people’s homes by man power, and is still done so in some cases.

Each weaver has his own pattern and spun and dyed with natural dyes. It is all guarded very closely! Sue was looking for a man called Callum and she was very excited when she finally met him and was able to exchange ideas.

This was a most interesting talk which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Jill thanked Sue and afternoon tea was served.

The speaker on Friday was Cavendish Club member Diana Bruce. Born with a love of ponies started a journey that became a lifelong passion for Diana and eventually her own family.

As a young girl the Christmas holidays were spent at Gore Bay, where local farmers and their children would come and share their ponies with children that were there on holiday.

At the age of nine years Diana started at Helen Rich’s riding school, this then led to Gymkhanas and many A&P Shows around Canterbury.

Diana’s first horse Cloud held wonderful memories, Diana would ride to Gore Bay for the holidays taking three days to get there, no horse trucks or horse floats in those days.

When her own children arrived they too loved ponies and so one of the first ponies to arrive was Twinkle. In 1974 the family started their Kinkora Stud by importing a beautiful golden palomino Champion Welsh Mountain Pony Stallion Rowfant Santiago and in 1976 imported a mare with a filly foal at foot, this was the beginning of a very successful business adventure.

Over the years the Kinkora Stud won many trophies. The breeding of lovely quiet and safe ponies for children has been a lifelong pleasure.

Diana and her husband are both Grade 1 Royal Agricultural Society judges and were honoured with Life Membership of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society.

Their Kinkora Stud is now in the hands of their daughter Sue Gibbons and so the journey continues. A very interesting speaker.

Drama Circle Due to the wet cold day our Drama afternoon was presented to a small attendance of club members. However one sketch was read by Pam and Betty.

The passenger waiting at Railway Station to travel per train to Ware and the porter busy sweeping kept asking where the passenger was going. Ware and where becomes very confusing, and the train to Ware didn’t run that day. Lots of laughter with this reading.

Rona read three humorous stories then one of our members told of her experience with a stranger. A great afternoon so all ready for afternoon tea.

The 2016 season for the Tuesday night shooters was a novelty evening where skills were tested in different ways.

Dean Smith, club president, constructed some special target holders, the first test shooters were required to shoot their target edge on.

Competitors were given a set number of bullets and were given points for the number of bullets returned after the target had been successfully split. Young eyes proved the key when Charlotte McKenzie split her target with her first shot followed by Morgan Smith on his second shot.

The second exercise involved extinguishing the flame on five birthday candles by having the bullet pass close by the flame without actually hitting the candle. Again Charlotte proved too good only needing seven shots to complete the exercise. Michaela Smith took only one shot more as did Morgan. Hailey Beevor and Lanelle McArthur could not adjust and all candles remained alight. T.J. Stewart gave in to frustration and demolished the last candle with his last shot incurring the maximum penalty.

A complicated scoring system which involved both credits and penalties saw Charlotte win the evening with 162 points, Michaela 153 and Morgan 150.

Twenty-one took part in a very enjoyable evening.

Monday night shooting has finished but some are continuing primarily as practice for the upcoming secondary schools’ championships in Blenheim next month.

Ashburton College will be represented

by Lanelle McArthur, Logan McArthur and Shania Harrison-Lee. We wish them well and expect they will represent our club and the College with distinction.

Methven Bowling Club Methven Bowling Club invite you to our opening day on Saturday September 17 at 1pm Members a plate please. If wet we will meet for a cuppa and a catch up at 3pm.

If anyone out there would like to join our club please come along.

The dress is mufti and we will play the Married couples and the Jack and Jill. It is always a great way to start the season and blow the dust off the bowls and the body. We look forward to seeing you all.

Our ladies are having a special meeting on Tuesday 13 at 1.30. This is a good day to get your teams in and meet and greet.

Rob needs names for the Christchurch interclub that is played before Christmas so give him a ring on 3029281.

We have a full program set out, and Lyn Fensom has made a great job of putting our book together. Thank you Lyn. We wish all bowlers and clubs a great season and look forward to meeting you on the green.

Bye for now Melva Middleton.

Barcelona thrash Celtic 7-0 Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick and Neymar excelled as a playmaker to lead Barcelona to a record-setting 7-0 win over Celtic in their Champions League opener yesterday.

Celtic failed to convert a firsthalf penalty and level the score at 1-1 in a miserable night for the Scottish visitors.

Neymar set up Messi to score twice in the first half hour at Camp Nou before the Brazil striker struck from a free kick just after halftime.

Neymar kept pouring it on, crossing for substitute Andres Iniesta to fire in a vicious volley.

Messi took his career tally to 86 goals in Europe’s top-tier competition before Luis Suarez rounded off the rout with a pair of goals.

“It didn’t matter who we had in front us, I remember a beauty and precision that was of another class.

Against that, rivals can do very little,” Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. “It was a great way to make our entrance to the competition (this season).”

The 7-0 victory surpassed Barcelona’s biggest win in the Champions League to date, a 7-1 defeat of Bayer Leverkusen in 2012.

Luis Enrique credited Messi’s deft movement across the front of the attack, and his dips into Barcelona’s midfield where he acts as a facilitator, as key to unlocking Celtic.

“Leo Messi plays at every position, he has freedom to do so because he is the best in the world at any position he plays,” Luis Enrique said.

“That’s total football. We wouldn’t be very smart to put limits on him. That’s why he is the best of all time. Not just because of his numbers, but for his vision of the game.”

Long gone was the firepower Brendan Rodgers’ team displayed in Celtic’s 5-1 rout of fierce rival Rangers on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership.

Instead, Barcelona improved

“There can be no embarrassment because they do that to better teams than ourselves, (but) it’s obviously a disappointment,” Rodgers said. “To lose by so many goals is tough to take.”

It was the first joint-start this season for Messi and Neymar, after Neymar missed Barcelona’s first four matches helping his country win the Olympic gold medal.

The two stars, who played in the last half hour of Saturday’s stunning 2-1 Spanish league loss to Alaves, needed just three minutes to link up and put Barcelona in charge.

Neymar used a clever, no-look pass to play Messi clear on the

left side of the area. Messi did the rest by sizing up Dorus de Vries before blasting a left-footed shot past the Celtic ‘keeper.

It got even better from there.

The second goal was a brilliant piece of shared playmaking that undid Celtic completely, as the ball flowed from Messi to Neymar and back again for him to nudge over the line in the 27th.

“The ball moves like it’s on an ice rink, and they move as fast as that,” Rodgers said. “(Barcelona) is the world’s best at keeping the ball.”

Three minutes earlier, Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen made up for his foul in the area on Moussa Dembele by blocking Dembele’s penalty kick and denying Celtic its only

Five-time champions Bayern Munich gave Russian debutant Rostov a rude welcome to the Champions League yesterday, winning 5-0 in a record 13th consecutive win at home in the competition.

Goals from Poland striker Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Mueller on his 27th birthday, two from rising star Joshua Kimmich and another from Juan Bernat gave Carlo Ancelotti’s team a perfect start in Group D and maintained the side’s winning start to the season.

Last season’s beaten finalists Atletico Madrid won 1-0 at PSV Eindhoven in the other group game.

“The first goal is to win the group. We started well. The next game at Atletico will be tough,” said Ancelotti, who has made the best start as a Bayern coach for 18 years.

Bayern has now scored 20 goals and conceded none in five wins from five games across all competitions.

Manchester United had the previous record of 12 consecutive home wins in the Champions League from 2006 to 2008.

Rostov had never before played in the group stage of a UEFA competition and the Russian runnerup was counting on its defence, the meanest in the Russian league last season, to keep Bayern’s attack at bay.

Meanwhile the match between Manchester City and Borussia Moenchengladbach was called off 20 minutes before kickoff following heavy rain in Manchester.

The match was rescheduled for today.

“Torrential rainfall across Manchester throughout the evening led to flooding in the areas around the ground, which forced the decision on safety and security grounds,” City said.

Neither set of players had been out to warm up.

Moenchengladbach fans that had gathered inside the stadium for the game booed and jeered when the announcement was made.

scoring chance.

Goal No. 3 came in the 50th when Neymar curled a free kick over the wall. De Vries got a hand on the ball but not enough to keep it out.

Iniesta blasted his volley home in the 59th, seconds before Messi slid to tap in Luis Suarez’s pass.

Suarez added his own flourish to the demolition when he took Neymar’s lob on the chest, before swivelling and beating De Vries with a left-footed strike in the 75th.

Suarez got his second from a low cross from Messi.

Five-time champion Barcelona extended its winning streak at home in European competition to 12 straight matches.

In brief NZer breaks ski record A Wanaka skier has broken the world record for the switch quad 1620 - a backwards jump involving four rotations. Cardrona Alpine Resort’s Jen Houltham says the record was broken by Cardrona team skier Jackson Wells. “The world’s FIRST EVER quad cork on skis, the switch quad 1620!,” she wrote in a statement. “Basically that means he skied into the jump backwards, went upside down four times while rotating horizontally at the same time.” It comes after fellow Wanaka freeskier Nico Porteous, 14, recently landed the triple cork 1440 in competition at the Jossi Wells Invitational at Cardrona Alpine Resort.

The finalists of the boys’ Hinds Squash Club Junior Championships have been found following a semi-final catch-up match played on Tuesday evening.

Fourteen-year-old Alex Jones proved too good in a 3-1 victory

over 12-year-old James McLaren despite a valiant effort from his younger opponent.

Jones will now take on Jacob Price in the final while Harriett Stock will defend her girls’ title against Georgie Sullivan Hinds Squash’s junior club captain Angela Cushnie said

the turnout this year has been pleasing, as well as the participants’ improvement throughout the season.

“This year we had up to 30 children on a Friday night, which, with two courts, made for some very busy evenings,” she said.

“The thrilling part for me is watching the progress these kids make, and the look of satisfaction on their faces when they reach that next level of play – it is such a confidence booster and what keeps them coming back.”

The boys’ and girls’ finals will be played tomorrow.

■ BASKETBALL

Waardenburg going to University of Miami Sam Waardenburg’s incredible year of basketball continues as the young Rangitoto student has committed to the University of Miami on a full Division 1 Scholarship.

Waardenburg had only just returned to New Zealand from visiting the universities of Utah and Miami. After these two official visits, he felt that Miami was the College for him.

“On the visit, after a delay in flights, we arrived in Miami at midnight and Coach Larrañaga and his wife were still there to meet us. There is a real sense of family there, so that was awesome.

“The programme is great, they’re a winning programme and with all the staff and players it’s just a great big family. I just really wanted to play for and with them.

“You’re only allowed 48 hours on an official visit. They showed us around campus and the facilities. I got to see a practice and talk to everyone in the programme. I

Sam Waardenburg got to meet all the other players, coaching and support staff, and academic personnel. It is a private college, so there is a strong emphasis on academics.

“It’s just a beautiful city, the temperature is warm all year round, there’s lots of green, it’s going to be a great second home.

I just really enjoyed my time there and it’s the place for me.”

Waardenburg has come up through the New Zealand basketball system and has represented

New Zealand in the 3x3 Under 18 World Championship this year, the Under 17 Men’s team that won silver at the age-group’s FIBA Oceania Championships last year, and the Under 16 Men’s team that won Bronze at the Australian State Championships .

This signing is another major accomplishment for the 208 centimetre power-forward who has already had an outstanding year in basketball. In June he represented New Zealand in the FIBA 3X3 World Championships in Kazakhstan. Later that month he travelled to the Nike All Asia Camp in Beijing where he was named the event’s Most Outstanding Player. He was also invited to the National Basketball Players Association Top 100 Camp in the USA. In late June he went to the Basketball Without Borders Camp in Australia, where he was named MVP. In July he travelled with Harbour Basketball to the USA. And in late July he played at the pres-

tigious Adidas Nations Tournament in Los Angeles where he was named one of the top 10 players of the camp by a scouting site.

This was the same event that a young Steven Adams really made his name known in the US. Throw into the mix Sam’s time with the Supercity Rangers and the Breakers Academy, which led him into a role as a development player for the Sky City Breakers, and the 17 year old has spent most of his time playing basketball outside of sleeping and school work.

When asked about Sam earlier this year Basketball New Zealand CEO Iain Potter said Waardenburg is a great example of the opportunities for young New Zealand players, with international scouts, schools and camps placing New Zealand very high on their list of countries producing good young players.

“Recent years have seen a whole world open up for our young players.”

A group of Russian hackers claim to have found files showing the Williams sisters and gymnast Simone Biles were allowed to take banned substances by anti-doping bosses. Hacktivists Fancy Bears leaked documents that allegedly demonstrate both Venus and Serena Williams took substances that were on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s banned list. However, the International Tennis Federation said the Williams sisters had been given permission to use the drugs for ‘therapeutic use’. Fancy Bear also claimed American gymnast Simone Biles tested positive for another banned substance in August but also had special dispensation to use it.

Costly match-up It paid for Polish fencer Adrian Castro to have his future fatherin-law’s approval prior to the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games. Castro’s bronze medal is likely to cost him thousands of dollars as he and his opponent had a little wager on their bout. The father-in-law-to-be, Polish teammate and defending Paralympic champion Grzegorz Pluta, took the 15-8 defeat in his stride. Until Castro brought up who was paying for the wedding. “But today before our bout I told him ‘the loser will pay for the wedding’.”

From there things got awkward.

Pluta insisted Castro would be the one picking up the bill. “Not at all, I don’t agree,” Pluta said. “I lost the bronze medal, he will earn money from winning it so he has to pay now.”

■ RUGBY

Significant changes to world rugby on horizon It’s possible, as long as there are no rogue voters, that small but significant changes to the rugby calendar will be ratified in November.

Revolutionaries will say the proposals to restructure the season to bring greater alignment between the two hemispheres don’t go far enough, but pragmatists will feel the solution on offer is a victory for common sense.

According to the BBC, the restructuring plan has three key planks: the first is to effectively shift the June international window to July.

The second is to no longer schedule Northern Hemisphere tours to the South in the year after a World Cup. And the third is for the respective key domestic competitions of both hemispheres - Super Rugby, English Premiership, Top 14 and ProD12 - to reach a conclusion at roughly the same time.

That means competitions starting later in the North so they can finish at the end of June. Super Rugby will most likely begin as it currently does in late February, but without having to go on hold for international rugby as

Wales played three tests against the All Blacks during June this year. it currently does, will be able to also finish in June.

Other more radical changes have been proposed in the past but they have found it difficult to win universal support as they have typically required one of the hemispheres to make significant changes to the timing of their core competitions.

Under this plan, the Six Nations, Rugby Championship and World Cup will all continue to be played in their current slots.

The unknowns at this stage are

how teams from the South will fill their international itineraries in the year after a World Cup and how financial arrangements will even themselves out.

The potential will be opened for Southern Hemisphere teams to host tier-two nations in the year after a World Cup - or to at least be creative and flexible in their thinking.

The All Blacks season could end up having a more graduated feel to it - that is they could open their season with a Pacific

series for example the year after a World Cup, playing Fiji, Tonga and Samoa in consecutive weeks.

In other post World Cup years they could take on the USA, Japan and Canada. They would then have a short break before commencing the Rugby Championship, before heading to Europe as they currently do.

The season wouldn’t look radically different but it would have greater flow and logic - with Super Rugby ending before tests start and greater variety in their test fixtures.

The reason the North want to eliminate touring the year after a World Cup is to prevent their players from going almost 13 months without a break.

Wales, for example, began preparing for the 2015 - held in September/October - World Cup in early June last year. Their players were back playing club rugby the week after they were eliminated in the quarter-finals and didn’t finish until they lost to the All Blacks in late June this year.

It is understood that members of World Rugby will vote on the restructuring proposal in November.

Perth will host a revolutionary new pro golf tournament that organisers hope will become a big hit on the international scene. The four-year-old Perth International has been axed in favour of a new event called the World Super 6 Perth. The new tournament features 54 holes of regulation stroke play, before the top 24 players battle it out in a six-hole match play shootout format on the final day. Any matches tied after a six-hole shootout will be decided by a knockout hole. If scores are still even after that hole, the winner will be decided by a closest-tothe-pin contest.

Netball pay rise Netball Australia (NA) are confident a huge pay increase for players in the new national league will ward off the challenge of rival codes such as the women’s AFL. With the new league set to start early next year, NA announced details of their collective playing agreement yesterday, with the 80 players contracted to the eight clubs to share from a total payment pool of $5.4 million. Each club will have up to $675,000 to spend on its list of 10 contracted athletes, meaning that the average salary will increase to $67,500 and the minimum wage to double to $27,375.

The Australian has pointed to the famed night race all season as his best shot at victory, particularly after his near-win at the Monaco GP in May. A botched pitstop denied Ricciardo an almost-certain fourth career triumph, handing Mercedes’ reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton the lead and win. The Singapore street circuit, suits his RB12 and has proved fruitful in the past - having finished third in 2014 and second in 2015.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

‘We have to perform’ Warriors’ stalwart Simon Mannering is under no illusions: “There is no quick fix – at the end of the day us players are on the field and we have to perform.”

■ RUGBY LEAGUE Simon Mannering is upbeat about the Warriors’ coaching changes announced on Tuesday, but says there is no magic fix for the Auckland club.

After the hype and fanfare on Tuesday – which saw Stephen Kearney brought in, Andrew McFadden retained, Stacey Jones promoted and a collection of high achievers forming a football advisory board – it was appropriate that Mannering brought a dose of realism to the situation.

The 30-year-old, who was named player of the year for the fifth time on Tuesday night, has seen a lot of changes at Mt Smart, including five head coaches and a truckload of assistants.

Mannering is supportive of the new Kearney/Jones/McFadden

arrangement but warns that the men with the clipboard can only do so much.

“It’s not going to be a magic fix, like yep, done, we will be there,” said Mannering. “At the end of the day us players are on the field and we have to perform.

“It doesn’t matter who is coaching us, we have to get out on the field and perform as a team.

“We don’t realise how good we do have it here, how much we get. Everything is there for us, in terms of facilities, staff, the way the organisation is run. At the end of the day we have to perform.”

Mannering admitted he was slightly torn about the news.

“I have a foot in both camps,” said Mannering. “I’m very happy

for Mooks (Kearney) that he gets a chance to be head coach. He’s such a great coach and person I know he will do a good job. But I’m also disappointed for Cappy (McFadden). I feel for [him] that he is losing his role but [after] speaking to Cappy he is content with his new role and wants what is best for the club.

Though the arrangement is unusual, Mannering said it was a tribute to McFadden’s professionalism.

“A lot of coaches would never go from head coach role to assistant coach,” said Mannering. “It would be ‘no bugger you I’m going’. [But] I’m not surprised, that is the kind of bloke he is. He cares so much about the team and wants to do what is best for the

club, it is not about him. Those two together will make a great team.”

Mannering also endorsed current assistant David Kidwell as the logical successor to Kearney with the national side, as Kearney steps away from the Kiwis after almost a decade in charge. “[David] is obviously a familiar face and has been there,” said Mannering. “Mooks has created something great at international level over the years and I know if Kiddy (Kidwell) gets the job he will carry it on. “[Stephen’s] been there for so long but Kiddy has been there the last couple of years. The boys respect him and he is a real voice and great coach in that environment.”

Whincup and I ‘can race hard without contact’ Kiwi Supercars star Shane Van Gisbergen highlights a late race fight in Sydney with teammate and championship leader Jamie Whincup as proof the two can fight for the title without conflict.

The two Red Bull Racing Holden drivers, who head into this weekend’s Sandown 500 first and second in the championship standings, scrapped aggressively with each other for the win over the final 10 laps in the Saturday race at Sydney Motorsport Park last month.

Neither driver backed down but nor did they over-step what constitutes good, hard racing.

The end result was a one-two finish for the team and highly entertaining viewing for spectators.

Defending series champion Mark Winterbottom, who is currently fourth in the standings, has been quick to point out that the two Red Bull teammates will

Shane Van Gisbergen and Jamie Whincup going head-to head for championship. eventually have to fight each other if they want to be crowned champion in 2016.

But the 27-year-old Van Gisbergen says the pair’s performance in Sydney highlights how they can race hard without taking each other out.

“Mark is just trying to play mind games or something but I don’t really read into that,” Van

Gisbergen said. “I was beside him when he said it but just laughing at him.

“We race good Jamie and I. We have to work together and we have done that quite well.

“For us to be racing each other is a good problem to have.

“To have the top three cars in the championship is a testament to the team and us work-

ing together. Yup, we will have to race each other at the end of the year but we know the rules of engagement.”

Team principal Roland Dane is renowned for his hard-line stance on inter-team rivalry and has managed a very settled team for a number of years with Whincup and fellow stablemate Craig Lowndes rarely having problems racing each other, often at the front of the field.

Van Gisbergen says Dane makes it clear what is acceptable and what isn’t and it isn’t difficult to figure out where the line is.

“We know what is expected of us and how to race hard on the track. We raced like that last time out at Sydney Motorsport Park.

It was a great battle – it was tight but we were both stoked at the end of it.

“I was stoked on the Sunday that he got his 100th career win.”

Storm lose giant prop for NRL finals Melbourne have suffered a big blow, losing giant prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona for the rest of the NRL finals.

Asofa-Solomona dislocated his left elbow in a training drill, prematurely ending his season.

The Storm have looked to the 20-year-old who – at 200cm and 115kg is one of the biggest players in the NRL – as a wrecking ball off the bench.

Christian Welch looms as the most likely to replace him for Saturday week’s preliminary final at AAMI Park against Penrith or Canberra.

Storm football director Frank Ponissi said it was a blow for Asofa-Solomona and the team.

He earlier missed five weeks with a knee injury as well as being sidelined this season through two suspensions.

The injury could also affect his Nelson AsofaSolomona chances of selection for the New Zealand team for the endof-year Four Nations tournament.

“Nelson’s injury is bitterly disappointing for him and the team, particularly with the impressive form he has shown this season,” Ponissi said.

“While we are disappointed to lose Nelson, a feature of our team this season has been our depth and the resilience of the players to come into the side and play their role.

“We have no doubt whoever replaces Nelson, will come in and do just that.”

While Asofa-Solomona is out, the Storm are confident hardworking lock Dale Finucane will overcome an ankle injury to play.

Finucane didn’t take part in team training on Wednesday in Melbourne but the club believed he would be fit for the grand final qualifier.

Coach Craig Bellamy said this week was a balancing act in trying to maintain the team’s good momentum and giving his players a well-deserved rest.

“Sometimes you worry about missing that game in that it might dent your momentum a little bit, as we’ve been pretty good the last couple of games and we’d like to keep that going,” Bellamy said.

While his heart is with his old playing club Canberra, Bellamy says he can’t split the Raiders and Panthers.

“I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Canberra as that’s where I played but, having said that, the game could go either way.

“They’re two really good teams in really good form and I’m sure it will be a good game.”

■ CRICKET

NZ prepare for onerous Indian series The Black Caps have pointed to mastering the SG cricket ball as the first step towards a historic Test series win in India.

The squad arrived in a sweltering New Delhi earlier this week before the first of three Tests starting next Thursday in Kanpur.

They will also play a Mumbai XI in a three-day warm-up match from Friday.

Coach Mike Hesson said his side would need to quickly adapt to use of the SG ball, after recently using the Kookaburra ball.

The SG has little swing but retains its seam, giving spin bowlers an edge on pitches with good turn.

Hesson’s side would need to find ways to create wicket opportunities while adjusting to new conditions.

The Black Caps have taken three spinners to the subcontinent in Mark Craig, Mitch Santner and Ish Sodhi.

They have never won a Test series in India.

“Even in the last couple of years, a number of overseas spinners have done well in the conditions so we certainly back our spin bowling group,” Hesson said.

“There’s a bit of change there, little bit of change around seam

angles which are different over here.”

Skipper Kane Williamson agreed.

He expected the Indians to look to spin bowlers Amit Mishra, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin as a natural advantage going into the series.

“The pitches have been very tricky and you throw in world-class spinners, and the challenge is very tough,” the 26-year-old Williamson said.

“No doubt it’ll be a bit of a scrap (and) spin from both teams will play a big part.

“We know it’ll be a challenge, India in their home conditions is one of the toughest challenges in the game,” the batsman said.

“That’s why we have that drive of playing international cricket, because you want to be playing the best in their own backyards.”

Bowler Doug Bracewell echoed his captain’s remarks, saying there was no harder place to tour than the subcontinent.

The team were pumped to go out and embrace the challenge.

“It would be bloody nice to get a Test series win over here and create a bit of history,” the 25-year-old said.

“It’s probably one of the toughest tours.”

Second generation playing For many years, the names Timu and Pene were synonymous with the blue and gold of Otago.

Now, a generation on, and those names are again donning the same jerseys.

Josh Timu, the son of All Black and Kiwi John Timu, is lining up in the Otago side which will play its opening game of the national under-19 tournament in Taupo tomorrow.

Also in the team is Sam Pene, the oldest son of former All Black and Otago No8 Arran Pene.

Josh (19) was born in Australia and is the oldest of four children. He played at John McGlashan College and, in his first year out of school this year, played for the University club.

He said his dad, who now lives in Wanaka, came and watched him play when he could and gave him some advice.

“Obviously, it would be awesome to play for Otago but you’ve got to take one step at a time and see what happens,” Josh said.

Josh played for the successful University Blues colts team this year which won the premier colts grade. He cannot remember watching his dad play rugby although he has seen him in action on tapes. He plays in the midfield or on the wing.

Sam Pene, also the oldest of four children, was born in Auckland.

He went to Hamilton Boys’ High School

Ashburton Guardian

and has moved to Dunedin to study surveying at the University of Otago.

His father, who lives in Hamilton, also hailed from Waikato, and came south for tertiary study. His rugby career then took off and he eventually played more than 100 games for Otago in the 1990s. John Timu also played 100 games for Otago from 1988 to 1994.

Sam said his father did not insist he ventured south for his education.

“He didn’t tell me to come down here. He just told me what it was like and what to expect and it would be a good way to make friends and have some new experiences,” Sam said.

Sam (18) was also a member of the University Blues colts team and said it was great to win the colts grade.

A No8 like his dad, he said playing in the under-19 side had been a good experience and he was looking forward to the tournament.

Otago’s opening game in the event is a tough one with the side set to take on Wellington tomorrow.

Wellington has five players from its Mitre 10 Cup squad in its team and will be out to make an impact.

Otago has qualified for the top eight so the match against Wellington is a virtual quarter-final.

21

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You can’t trust a crowd. Do not assume the others standing in a long line for the exciting thing have any more information than you do. They may be in that line just because everyone seems to be.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Love will have some of the mysterious elements of a suspense drama.

What’s next? Well, you’ll find out when you become the hero in this story, ready to investigate and make things happen.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Could you finish the whole thing by yourself? Yes. Should you? No. That is, unless you want the others to feel left out, inadequate and unwanted. Have a heart; share everything, especially the work.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll be dealing in issues of morality. Just remember that character is destiny. What you do to change your life will refine your character and what you do to refine your character will change your life.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You feel compelled to figure out how a certain interesting person works – to learn what he or she wants and needs.

Where are you in this? Honestly, are you setting up a co-dependent dynamic here?

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The more you love, the more willing you are to suffer for love. Sometimes suffering and love are synonymous. And now for something radically different – temperate, easygoing stability.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): In working with others you’ll be most agreeable, not the least bit submissive. Anyone who seems to require your submission needs to be shut down politely, succinctly, immediately.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): What is harder than climbing mountains, running miles and accomplishing great things? Getting out of a rut. It will be so worthwhile to invest in something to get you unstuck.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your communication with the world is happening on many levels.

As you connect to people and things you’ll become a conduit. You’ll provide a path for what is needed to get to those who need it.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Spending time with new faces, business associates and anyone connected with your aims is important.

Spending time with loved ones is more important. Prioritise to preserve relationships.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): By translating the information, you’re able to give what you do not possess. Because you help one side understand the other, you give to each with no loss to yourself.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): This is no time to be cheap.

If the effect that you’re going for doesn’t work, it could still lead to the next thing that will solve the problem. Stay optimistic.

Horan stands down Sean Horan has stood down from coaching the New Zealand women’s sevens team, clearing the way for him to be considered for the now vacant men’s job. Horan has said he will take a break from the game and consider some options. New Zealand Rugby will shortly advertise for the next New Zealand women’s sevens coach for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

All Blacks ‘beatable’

Sophie Pascoe claimed the 15th medal of her Paralympics career with a silver in the 100m Freestyle S10 final yesterday, making it her fifth medal of the Rio Games.

Medals keep coming The gold medals keep coming for the New Zealand Paralympics team.

Nikita Howarth has claimed gold in the Women’s 200m IM SM7 final this morning, her second medal of the Rio Games.

Backing up from a bronze yesterday, Howarth smashed the field to win by almost five seconds in a time of 2:57.29.

Minutes later fellow swimmer Sophie Pascoe claimed the 15th medal of her Paralympics

career with a silver in the 100m Freestyle S10 final. Pascoe finished behind Canadian rival Aurelie Rivard as the Christchurch swimmer claimed her fifth medal of the Rio Games.

It also takes Pascoe past New Zealand Paralympian great Eve Rimmer who won 14 medals during her career.

It was New Zealand’s second silver of the day after flag bearer Holly Robinson finished second in the Women’s Javelin F46.

The three medals yesterday take New Zealand’s tally to 16 for the Rio Games and move the team ahead of trans-Tasman rivals Australia on the medal table.

Robinson threw a massive personal best of 41.22m on her fifth attempt to secure second place.

She proudly took the New Zealand flag once again from her supporters, and held it high as she celebrated her success. The gold was won by Holly Arnold (GBR) with a world record throw

of 43.01m Robinson’s silver medal victory follows on from yesterday’s ‘gold rush’ for the New Zealand Paralympic Team in Rio where they had what must be the most successful single day in its 48-year history.

Swimmer Hamish McLean finished seventh in the Men’s 200m Freestyle S6 final while Tupou Neiufi finished fifth in her heat in the Women’s 50m Freestyle S9 in a time of 31.37, not qualifying for her final.

Savea to start against the Springboks All Blacks flanker Ardie Savea, a whirlwind of activity as a substitute in his previous five tests, will be given the opportunity to make his mark from the first whistle against the Springboks on Saturday.

Given Sam Cane’s torn hamstring suffered against the Pumas in Hamilton last weekend, Savea’s selection is not surprising.

And, as Cane, the All Blacks’ regular No7, is probably out for the rest of the Rugby Championship Savea is set for an extended run should he remain injury-free.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has shown a willingness to go with continuity for his recent selections – there are no other changes to the starting XV.

With Crusaders flanker Matt Todd picked as Savea’s back-up on the reserves bench for the test at AMI Stadium, the only other change to the match-day squad is due to an injury to Aaron Cruden.

A groin injury suffered in training has ruled him out.

Lima Sopoaga is Cruden’s replacement on the bench.

Hansen’s consistent selec-

tion policy suggests Savea will also start in the No7 jersey against Argentina in Buenos Aires on October 2, and against South Africa in Durban a week later. It is likely to be a sort of insurance policy for the 22-yearold, who will be told to play his natural game and not try to do too much too early against the big Springboks pack.

England coach Eddie Jones says the All Blacks have ‘significant weaknesses’ but he’s not saying what they are. In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, the Australian said England are aiming to knock the All Blacks off the number one spot in the world. Jones admitted the defending World Cup champions are a good team but can be beaten. “We want to be the No1 team in the world.

New Zealand are head of the pack but they have flaws in their game.

They’re a bloody good side but they’re beatable,” Jones said.

Tana assistant coach Blues boss and former All Blacks skipper Tana Umaga has been named the assistant coach for the Maori All Blacks. Umaga, who played for the All Blacks on 74 occasions, will accompany the side on their November tour of the United States and British Isles. He will be joined by new assistant forwards coach Carl Hoeft. Head coach Colin Cooper said Umaga and Hoeft would add value to his coaching set-up through their experience and insight. “Tana brings a certain mana to our team,” Cooper said.
