New Zealand’s economy is built on its regions and Mid Canterbury is a significant player, Minister of Economic Development Steven Joyce said at yesterday’s launch of the Regional Activity Report in Ashburton.

“It is appropriate the report is being launched in Canterbury, because the real strength of the economy are the provincial areas that produce food and beverages,” he said.

In addressing the region’s tight labour supply, Mr Joyce said the chal-

lenge was to persuade people to move south. “The drift north has stopped, but the drift south needs to accelerate,” he said.

“We need to work collectively to get people to understand the opportunities in the South Island.”

And the 2015 report highlighted many reasons to do so.

Canterbury has lower unemployment than the rest of the country, sitting at 3.2 per cent, about half the national average. Household incomes are above the national average and housing is cheaper.

The severity of the drop in dairy prices had dinted confidence, but other areas were performing well.

“Dairy is important but it’s not the whole story,” he said.

Dairy accounts for 4 per cent of GDP and 18 per cent of the export earn.

ICT and manufacturing are expanding, with more emphasis on innovation and establishing deep niche markets.

Five things that may interest you

Stewart shoots down rape remarks Rocker Rod Stewart has weighed into Chrissie Hynde’s controversial comments on rape and insists women should be able to wear what they want without fear of attack. The Pretenders frontwoman sparked a storm in August when she suggested women who dress in short skirts and high heels are “enticing” men to assault them. Hynde said she takes “responsibility” for becoming the victim of a sexual assault when she was young and “naive”, adding, “If you play with fire you get burnt. It’s not any secret, is it?”

Her remarks drew criticism from anticrime campaigners and veteran singer Stewart has now waded into the row, insisting Hynde was wrong to suggest women can “provoke” men into rape by the way they dress. “I think a woman should be able to do and wear what she wants without feeling that she’s going to be attacked. I don’t go along with that saying, ‘She was asking for it.’ Not at all,” he told British magazine Event.

Top tweeter?

Chickens tweet all the time right? Wrong. At least not the kind of tweeting that involves 140 characters and the interweb.

A Perth chicken named Betty is preparing to become the first of her species to send a tweet across the internet. In a world first, Betty the tweeting chook will be beak to keyboard in a bid to tweet out an actual word. The Guinness Book of World Records is poised to recognise her as the “First Chicken to Send a Tweet” if she manages to send a five-letter tweet in English within 30 days.

Betty has a keyboard in her pen, but her dexterity has so far left much to be desired, with Twitter contributions such as “A$%Gbj”, “aslffawe” and “fa*hh/”.

Yoko Ono says she still fears for her life almost 35 years after John Lennon was shot and killed outside their New York apartment building. Mark Chapman is still serving time for killing the former Beatles star but Ono is always looking over her shoulder, fearing that she could also become a target of a deranged fan. “I’m super-careful, almost like a certain animal who is used to being hunted, like a deer,” she explains. “When I go out or when I don’t go out, in my apartment, I’m very, very careful.” But Ono says “it’s very, very difficult for me to think about Chapman, especially because he doesn’t seem to think that was a bad thing to do. It’s crazy”.

Costello spent decade writing memoir Elvis Costello’s new memoir has been 10 years in the making. Costello reveals he was first approached to write about his life story after the success of his debut album, My Aim Is True, but he declined as he was just 24. He revisited the idea decades later, and started putting pen to paper around 2005 – but even then, he admits progress was slow going.

Costello tells US talk show host Stephen Colbert, “I started about 10 years ago and I tore up a lot of versions of it and then the last three or four years I really went to work on it.” The 61-year-old star has since unveiled Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, and he admits some passages were unintentionally written as if he was penning a song. “I did occasionally find myself going into rhyme by accident and I had to stop myself. Actually, if you look carefully there are a couple of chapters that end in rhyme and I didn’t realise that I’d written them!” he said. Publishers at Penguin have described the book as an “unconventional but indelible memoir”.

Ahem, move along A late-night rendezvous has left a pair of Cambridge lovers red-faced after police caught them in the act. The couple were spotted parking in separate cars at Cambridge Middle School before running into the school grounds wearing dark clothing on Tuesday night about 10pm.

It sparked a call to police reporting a suspected burglary – but a search of the property turned up something else. After cordoning off the school, police found the couple half undressed in the early stages of a rendezvous. Cambridge Police seemed to have a bit of a laugh about the situation, posting about the “interesting wee job” on Facebook. “We used additional Police officers who were in the area to help us cordon off the school so we could catch the perps,” the post said. “Needless to say, we were very surprised when we rounded a corner and found a young couple in the early stages of a ‘rendezvous’!”

■ NEW ZEALAND CREDIT AND FINANCE INSTITUTE

Surplus ‘a tribute to all’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

That New Zealand could now post a cash surplus was a tribute to the efforts of every New Zealander, associate finance minister Steven Joyce said in Ashburton yesterday.

Mr Joyce was the keynote speaker at the New Zealand Credit and Finance Institute’s national conference and he told delegates that achieving that in spite of the massive impact on the economy of the Christchurch earthquakes, when the country had an $18 billion deficit, was a significant achievement.

Weakening dairy prices might have dented business confidence, Mr Joyce said but there was still a relatively high level of personal confidence on the back of New Zealand’s diverse economy.

“Notwithstanding it’s softer than last year, this time next year we’ll be looking back and saying New Zealand’s economy is not just about dairying; a lot of other sectors have done well,” he said.

New Zealand had one of the more progressive small economies in the world, but it needed to do better than that, Mr Joyce said.

“Our target should be to be the most prosperous small economy in the world within 10 to 15 years.”

To achieve that, however, there were four key issues that had to be achieved – being open and connected, boosting skills, encouraging innovation and encouraging investment. Being connected meant things such as our students studying overseas and using travel to create trade links and upskilling meant encouraging more young people to work into areas such as engineering, he said.

“While our education system might be one of the best in the world, we need to ensure our

In brief Woman collapses An Ashburton woman, aged in her early 60s, was taken by St John ambulance to Ashburton Hospital in a moderate condition after she collapsed on River Terrace at 7.37am on Wednesday.

Toddler dies The family of a 2-year-old boy who died after being assaulted in his Hastings home have described him as a “happy, smiley, adventurous boy”. Matiu Wereta, of Flaxmere, died on Wednesday night in the intensive care unit at Hawke’s Bay Hospital. A 17-year-old Rotorua youth has been charged with assaulting a child. Matiu’s family paid tribute to him in a statement last evening. “Matiu was a happy, smiley, adventurous boy who loved being active and getting involved in a lot of activities. We appreciate all the kind wishes and support we have been offered from many people. “This is a tragic event that is extremely hard for any family to comprehend or experience.

We must now wait for the judicial process to take its course.” - NZME

kids are better trained because 15 to 20 per cent are not succeeding in education.”

Encouraging on and offshore investment would be hugely important over the next 15 to 20 years, Mr Joyce said.

“We have a massive opportunity to participate in the ‘middleclassisation’ of consumers, people who can participate in buying high quality food and goods.

“For us to be successful and continue to punch above our weight we need to increase our capital stock 4 to 5 per cent a year and to do that we have to attract investors.”

The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) was hugely important for New Zealand’s future, ensuring exporters had access to a much more level playing field, Mr Joyce said.

As an example, he said while

New Zealand might currently have a 38 per cent tariff on beef exported to Japan and Australia 10 to 15 per cent, the TPP would ensure both countries exported into the Japanese market with the same tariff structure.

While there might be real concern over Auckland’s rapid growth and the high demand for housing, Mr Joyce said it was important to all of New Zealand that Auckland continued to grow.

“Auckland is our bet on the world stage. If you don’t have Auckland you don’t have financial sectors and a whole lot of other things, they’d all be in Melbourne or Sydney. Auckland is competing with second tier cities in Australasia to hold its line against Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. We can’t afford for them to come second.”

While Auckland had to grow, the regions would remain an economic backbone with growth hampered only by the need for more people to take up jobs.

“But one of the big challenges is how do we tell the North Island this story, how do we get North Islanders to move to the South Island.

“Mid Canterbury has one of the strongest household incomes in New Zealand and yet is still has low house prices.”

While he was in Ashburton, Mr Joyce visited the New Zealand Sock Company and said it was a good example of a regional success story that had carved out a niche for itself on the international market.

“They’ve got orders coming out their ears. It’s a story of export manufacturing that’s very strong.”

Rescuers had to free four people, including two children, who were trapped after a crash in Whangarei yesterday. The three-car collision occurred at the intersection of State Highway 1 and Tauroa St in Raumanga just before 4pm.

Two school-aged children were taken by ambulance to Whangarei Hospital with injuries described as moderate and minor. One of the two trapped adults had also been taken to hospital in a moderate condition. Police said initial indications were that a vehicle turning into Tauroa St from the highway collided with oncoming traffic on SH1.

Motorcyclist killed The motorcyclist killed in Pakuranga yesterday was a student of nearby Pakuranga College. The male senior student died when his motorbike collided with a Toyota Rav 4 shortly before 1pm on Pakuranga Rd, near the school. Motorbike parts were strewn across Pakuranga Rd in the crash. The vehicles collided about 12.55pm outside McDonald’s, between Prince Regent Drive and Mountain Rd. - NZME

Rosy future ahead Instant access to regional data From P1 Mr Joyce said the lower kiwi dollar was significant for most exporters.

While the slowdown in the Chinese economy was significant, that country was moving away from its manufacturing base toward service industries and production of consumer goods. “It’s starting to look more like a western economy, and it’s happening fast,” Mr Joyce said.

Australia has felt the pinch of this with reduced demand for coal, oil, ore and gas, but the move will create more opportunities for New Zealand.

China’s demand for quality food

and beverages, education and tourism will continue to ramp up.

An increasing number of Chinese tourists are choosing freedom travel over tours, which can only benefit the regions.

Mr Joyce said there had been no change in the price Chinese consumers were paying for infant formula, kiwifruit or seafood, allaying fears of stockpiling driving prices down.

Notwithstanding the negative economic impact of the Canterbury earthquakes, Mr Joyce said five years on there are many positive indications pointing to an underlying resilience in the regional economy.

Regional information will be at your fingertips with the release of a new mobile phone app.

Ben Wallace, from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, introduced the Regional Economic Activity Report app and web tool at yesterday’s launch of the report in Ashburton.

The smartphone app allows users quick access to economic information on

the regions, highlighting essential data on household income, house prices, rents, employment rates, population and GDP. Information is broken down into areas mirroring the country’s 16 regional council boundaries.

Charts put the information into context, allowing comparison between regions.

Mr Wallace said the app contains multiple levels and is easy to use.

The Regional Economic Activity Report online web

tool will be useful to analysts and those wanting to drill down into regional data, he said.

It enables comparisons of regional data in maps in dynamic charts, with a number of options for displaying and comparing it.

Both the app and the web tool will be updated as new data becomes available.

The app can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

The web tool is available on the MBIE website.

■ CANCER SUFFERERS

Benefit change ‘defies sense’

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Cancer patients having to go on the Job Seekers benefit “defies any sense of reality”, says Ashburton Cancer Support Group chairman Alister Argyle.

Earlier this week news outlets across New Zealand reported hundreds of cancer patients were being placed on the Job Seeker hardship benefit making it even harder to gain financial support for their treatment.

The move came after the sickness, unemployment, domestic purposes and widow benefits were replaced by the Job Seeker hardship benefit back in 2013.

Ashburton Cancer Support

Group chairman Alister Argyle said there were a number of people the group was supporting who have had to go through the same process.

The group was “intensely protective” of its members’ privacy and Mr Argyle did not want to elaborate on exactly how many people have been affected.

“It is just something that they do not need when they’re dealing with such difficult issues in their life anyway,” he said.

“It’s an additional cost, it’s a huge inconvenience, it’s a significant concern for them, it just defies any sense really.”

Social Development Minister Anne Tolley said cancer pa-

tients could not expect special treatment, because everyone would want it, however Mr Argyle disagrees.

“That is no justification, the system has to make allowances for these people,” he said.

“If the system has got a problem with it then the system needs to sort itself out.”

Cancer Society chief executive Claire Austin said the “ludicrous” system lacked common sense and sensitivity.

The Cancer Society website states for people undergoing cancer treatment it may be easier to appoint someone to act on their behalf to communicate with Work and Income about a benefit when required.

NEW CANCER ROLE FOR CDHB ■

■

■

The Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) has confirmed it is recruiting for a new cancer support role.

The board is looking to employ a psychological and support service regional lead who will be based in Christchurch but also cover the wider CDHB area, including Ashburton.

The new role will benefit patients diagnosed with cancer or who have a high suspicion of cancer and will work with CDHB cancer support workers and psychologists and improve patient experience.

■

■

Cancer Society Canterbury/ West Coast supportive care manager Viv Williams said the society welcomed the development of the new role as it would contribute to the mental health and wellbeing of patients undergoing cancer treatment.

“We are aware that cancer impacts on people’s lives in many ways so this new service will further enhance patient and family/whanau support along with the on-going support from the Cancer Society in Ashburton,” Ms Williams said.

Did you ShakeOut?

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

People all over Mid Canterbury were dropping, covering and holding yesterday morning.

As the Ashburton town clock struck 9.15am, more than 9600 people from all over the district took part in the national ShakeOut earthquake drill yesterday morning.

A chance to practice the earthquake preparedness drop, cover and hold drill the exercise was intended to replicate the response to a real earthquake.

District emergency management officer Don Geddes said the ShakeOut was also a great time to raise awareness about general earthquake vigilance, before, during and after the shaking.

“Some people think it’s a bit silly but when the shaking does happen you don’t have time to think about what to do and so drop, cover, hold – it’s simple,”

he said. In total 6627 Mid Cantabrians registered for the drill, the majority (4730) of whom were from schools.

Mr Geddes said he was happy with the number and even if people didn’t take part they were now more aware of what to do.

Porse Ashburton consultant Suzannah Bugden said all the children at the early childhood centre participated in the drill.

“We had a practice and we have great resources … there’s even a wee song,” Mrs Bugden said.

The Porse educators wanted to make it a fun learning experience for the children.

“You don’t want it to become a scary thing,” she said.

Child’s Play Preschool also participated, teacher Kylie Mactier said the whole preschool practiced their “turtle” pose.

get of 1.5 million participants nationwide, and Civil Defence Minister Nikki Kaye believes this was achieved.

Ms Kaye said as a result New Zealand once again took out the record for the largest per capita participation rate.

Other countries involved in this year’s ShakeOut included the United States, Japan and Iran.

■ ASHBURTON MUSICAL CLUB

Scholarship to assist musical career

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Classical singer Joshua Pike said it was a “huge honour” to receive the Ashburton Musical Club’s annual $700 scholarship announced at the weekend.

The Ashburton College Year 12 student hopes to one day make a career out of performing, and after completing Year 13 would like to study classical voice, alongside information technology or economics.

“To make a career out of it would be the ultimate goal, but if it doesn’t come to anything just to keep performing would be good,” Joshua said.

Joshua’s idols include Ashburton’s own opera celebrity Simon O’Neill, whom he admired because he had persevered through many a knockback.

“He didn’t get into the industry the easy way, he’s one of the best now, he’s worked hard.”

Joshua, 16, is a member of the New Zealand Secondary Students Choir, and has been since 2013.

Ashburton Musical Club scholarship winner Joshua Pike is a keen classical singer.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 131015-TM-069

He is currently saving up for a choir trip to Canada to a choral festival in July next year,

and part of his new scholarship will go towards that. The trip follows one the choir made

to Malaysia and Singapore in July last year. The scholarship comes hot on the heels of a

number of other awards for Joshua, who has a table full of trophies from performing arts competitions throughout the South Island over the past year.

Joshua said he was grateful to the musical club not only for the scholarship, but also for the performance opportunities it had given him over the years.

The club holds monthly concerts and members enjoy having youngsters come along and display their musical talent.

Joshua’s first performance there was at the age of eight.

“It’s a place you can be absolutely terrified, but it won’t matter they will still love you for the music you make,” Joshua said.

“It’s a great place to get confidence. There’s not a lot of places to get performance practice.”

Joshua’s older sister Olivia is also a keen singer, and is a third year classical voice performance student at Otago.

The musical club also awarded a $100 Grace Ackerley Award, which went to young pianist Eliane Vinculado.

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE GYM

Registration ‘optional’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre gym is under fire from a competitor, who claims it is unregistered and that not all of its staff are qualified instructors.

In a community newspaper, Snap Fitness manager Ben Mann said the gym was not registered and therefore the people it employed as trainers did not need to be qualified. And that accusation has upset Steve Prescott, Ashburton District Council sports’ facilities manager.

Registration with the New Zealand Register of exercise professionals is voluntary for both individuals and facilities and Mr Prescott said he had looked at the registration option but did not believe there were sufficient benefits to support the cost, between $6000 and $7000.

“It’s a lot of money for what I don’t believe is a lot of gain, I don’t see a lot of compelling reasons to register. If I thought we needed it, it would be one of the first things I’d do, however, I believe

m

it’s better to spend that money in on-going training with your staff,” he said.

Of his seven gym staff, five are qualified and two are currently in training; of the 13 group fitness instructors, 11 are qualified and two are in training.

And once a qualification is achieved, training does not stop, Mr Prescott said with all staff undergoing at least an annual upskilling programme.

This is quarterly for Les Mills instructors.

“We always ensure our guys are up to speed with the current information available to them. It’s ongoing.”

For some franchises, registration was compulsory, but there were many independent gyms that elected not to be on the register, he said.

Satisfaction with the centre’s gym was evident in the continued growth in membership numbers, Mr Prescott said.

High numbers sometimes led to pressure on gym space, but that was a good problem to have, he said.

Code Club kicks off at college

By RuBy HaRfield Children from all over Mid Canterbury crammed into a classroom at Ashburton College to learn skills of the future yesterday.

In a collaborative effort Business Mid Canterbury, Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association and Code Club Aotearoa kicked off their first after-school coding class.

More than 70 people, including students, parents and teachers, listened to Code Club Aotearoa co-founder Michael Trengrove talking about skills, which will bring “amazing opportunities”, before embarking on their first coding experiment yesterday.

Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association chairman Chris Murphy said he would encourage parents to contact their schools if they wanted their child to join.

“It’s really important that we give the children the opportunity to develop an aspect which is becoming increasingly important in everyday life,” Mr Murphy said.

“Coding is becoming an integral part of the modern workforce.’’

Business Mid Canterbury business development manager René Artz said it was very important for children to learn coding, which is not taught in the curriculum at the moment.

Volunteers will teach students aged between eight and 12 to carry out computer coding projects, such as computer games, animations and websites, over the free course.

The course, which has limited spaces available, will be run weekly at Ashburton College until the end of the term with scope for it to expand into other parts of the district next year.

Small town in mourning The small East Coast community of Te Kaha is in mourning after a young father was shot dead while hunting deer on his family property.

Carlos Tauhou Ngamoki, 27, was hunting with two others when a firearm was discharged about midnight on Wednesday.

His death comes three days after Reporoa boy Connor Brian Phillips, 11, was shot on a hunting trip in the Kaingaroa Forest near Taupo on Sunday.

Police said it appeared Mr Ngamoki’s hunting party had been moving from one location to another when a firearm discharged, fatally wounding him.

Mr Ngamoki, who was born and raised in Te Kaha, would have turned 28 this Sunday.

Relative Paul O’Brien said the death had hit hard.

“We’ve been feeling for the families who have had similar circumstances just recently and now it’s happened on our own doorstep,” he told 3News.

A Te Kaha resident, who did not wish to be named, said Mr Ngamoki had a lot of hunting experience.

She said he got on well with everyone

and they were all taking it pretty hard.

Tributes to Mr Ngamoki have been penned on Facebook.

Kamaea Henderson wrote: “Feeling heartbroken ... most of all broken into a million pieces for my son.”

More than 50 people have commented on that post, offering love and condolences.

New Zealand Deerstalkers Association president Bill O’Leary said this was a sad week for hunters.

“We are having a real bad run at the moment,” he said.

When incidents like this occurred, the association needed to re-visit the safety messages, Mr O’Leary said.

“We need to tweak the way we instruct.

“We have real basic rules and respect with safety to firearms and we continue to hammer that [to hunters].”

Police have now finished their scene examination at the Te Kaha property.

A post-mortem examination will be carried out on his body today but police say they will not be releasing the results.

The matter has been referred to the coroner.

In brief Road gritting money A Guardian story on Ashburton District Council costs incorrectly attributed $480,000 worth of spending to trimming trees on rural properties. That money was spent on gritting icy roads in areas where they were shaded by shelter belts.

The council has yet to begin its programme of trimming trees that are shading roads during the winter.

Busy time for garden lovers

By RuBy HaRfield and Caitlin PoRteR Green-thumbed Mid Cantabrians will be in for a treat this weekend with two garden tours being offered.

St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church has organised a tour of four Winchmore gardens and Mayfield Playcentre will be holding its annual Homegrown Garden Tour and Fete.

Organiser of the Winchmore tour, Maureen Maginness, said it would be a great day out and all money raised would go towards church outreach.

“It’s just going to be a lovely day.’’

Each garden is different and she hoped people would take the opportunity to explore them.

“We’re looking forward to it.’’

St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church last ran a garden tour five years ago but hoped to make it every two to three

years. Winchmore resident Lynley Tavendale, who owns one of the gardens on show, said there would be afternoon tea, market stalls and music on her property for people to enjoy.

“It will just be a nice place to sit around and have a chat.’’

Mayfield Playcentre’s tour, in its second year, will also have four gardens available for the public to peruse.

The featured gardens include Bev and Roger Tasker’s Staple Homestead; Judy and Brian Fielder’s Oakstone, Annie and Athel Price’s Amberside and Maggie and Rab McDowell’s Clairvale, where the fete is being held.

The tour is being held on Saturday, October 17, from 10am to 4pm. Tickets $20 presold from Mayfield Playcentre or $25 on the day.

The Winchmore walks are being held from 1pm to 5pm on the same day. Tickets $20 from St Andrew’s Church office 308- 8042 or at the gates.

MBIE got it wrong Steve Crow is free to run a business after the Government department which decided he was banned admitted getting it wrong.

Porn baron Crow was banned from running a company after the collapse of four of his businesses in 2010. Then he pleaded guilty to being involved in the management of a business while banned the following year. When Crow emerged leading a cavalcade of topless people on motorbikes, the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment declared him to be in breach of a legal order which imposed a new five-year ban after his 2011 conviction. The renewed ban threatened to overturn Crow’s planned return to business. At least, until the Ministry admitted it got it wrong. A spokesman said it had reviewed the legal position and worked out it got it wrong.

Those needing to renew their passport might consider waiting until November 30 – when the new 10-year versions are likely to be available from.

Unemployment benefit rolls have dropped to a seven-year low in Auckland, but are now rising again in 10 of New Zealand’s four other regions. The latest Social Development Ministry statistics show the numbers on jobseeker support benefits plunging by 9.4 per cent in the year to September, from 39,405 to 35,711. This is the lowest number since September 2008, when just 23,420 Aucklanders received either the old unemployment benefit or the sickness benefit, which was merged into jobseeker support in 2013. Outside Auckland jobseeker numbers were up 10.2 per cent in the past year in Taranaki and 5.4 per cent in the Waikato. Jobseeker rolls also increased in Northland, Gisborne, Wellington and all South Island regions except NelsonTasman.

Stadium success reinforces investment Stu Oldham

EDITOR

N

ews netball bosses reckon the district’s new sports stadium could figure for future fixtures further reinforces its value as a potentially lucrative sports tourism drawcard and a place to foster local interest in national codes.

Despite some teething problems with the air-conditioning and scoreboard, the EA Networks Centre was praised for how it hosted the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Netball Championships last week.

It has been estimated that this single tournament – a big one by national school sports standards – helped pump $500,000 into the district economy, providing a welcome fillip that was not there this time last year.

And further fillips look likely now that Netball Mainland is considering the centre as a venue for future, usually verywell-supported and very-welltelevised, ANZ Championship netball matches.

Other codes are apparently just as impressed with the stadium and some have shown interest in holding what are being discreetly called “key events” there.

It would be wonderful if the first few big events at the stadium have been enough to cement the stadium as the new, must-use venue for regional and national sports and entertainment events.

After all, some of what made the $30-odd million investment more attractive to ratepayers was the chance that the facility would encourage more churn in the local money-go-round.

Plenty has been said in recent months about the district’s ability to capitalise on the people the centre might draw into Ashburton for the nights, days and weeks it hosts major events.

After it hosted the New Zealand Tall Ferns and Japan in August, tourism and civic leaders urged local businesses to be open and ready to sell to out-of-town visitors. Many have done so, since.

But it is becoming increasingly clear that the stadium’s early successes have set it – and the wider community and economy – up for a raft of opportunities from people enjoying themselves.

YOUR VIEW Yield to lights [Ashburton District Council contracts manager Brian] Fauth clearly doesn’t live in Tinwald East (Signs may be a thing of the past, October 15).

Already we take our lives into our hands daily while trying to enter the traffic on State Highway 1 at the 50km/h speed limit and I dread to think what it would be like if it was increased to 60km/h.

We have been begging for just one traffic light for many years and in 2004 were promised by NZTA that we would have one in “a couple of years”!

As for taking stop and yield signs away: people don’t take too much notice of the signs that are there now.

Imagine the chaos if there were none!

manda and I woke up on Saturday morning and looked at each other with depressed looks as we realised we had woken up back home in Ashburton and our amazing trip to the States was over.

No working out which bus we needed to catch first or subway train we needed to be on to take us to our first destination of the day.

No mapping out the order of activities for the day.

Gutted!

Just three-and-a-half weeks earlier it had all started with a 13-hour flight from Auckland to San Francisco.

We both got very little sleep on that flight, we just couldn’t get comfortable, I think adrenaline had a big part to play in our restlessness.

We were staying in a budget hotel in the Haight-Ashbury district which turned out to be a really cool place to stay.

The staff were really friendly and mapped out plenty more sights for us to check out other than what we had already lined up.

The neighbourhood is known for its history of, and being the origin of, hippie subculture.

In fact we didn’t have to walk too far down the road before we could smell evidence that the afore mentioned hippie subculture was still burning away!

I was concerned about going back to Alcatraz for a second time, but I needn’t have been, as I found the tour as fascinating as I did three years’ prior and it was great to see it through Manda’s eyes. Plus I think I took much more in on this trip instead of worrying so much about taking photos.

For anyone heading to San Fran and planning to go to Alcatraz, it’s essential you book your spot from New Zealand before you go as they were sold out for four days when we were there.

We also took in a baseball game at the very impressive AT&T Park. It wasn’t the most exciting game to watch unfortunately and the Giants lost!

The experience was outstanding though.

I had an accent misunderstanding with the waitress at Cheesecake Factory in Union Square.

I swear I ordered a salad and not the peanut butter and gooey caramel cheesecake that arrived on my table. Oh well,

being the polite young man I am, I battled through it.

We visited the house where Mrs Doubtfire was filmed and the house used for the outside shots of Full House, which is not one of the seven painted ladies as commonly thought.

Of all the sights we saw in San Fran some of the most memorable (as in wake up screaming memorable) were in the Castro district, a traditional

hang out for the gay community. One that unfortunately sticks in my mind is the gentleman on roller skates wearing the tight shorts and braces covered in bright gold sequins.

San Francisco is a small city, the bus/trolley system is great and makes it really easy to get around.

It has so many amazing things to see and do. It has a great buzz about it and that’s

before you sample the local merchandise in the Haight district.

Ebola relapse nurse ‘critical’ A British nurse suffering a relapse of ebola was fighting for her life.

Doctors said Pauline Cafferkey was ‘critically ill’ at the specialist isolation unit in London - and her family claimed a ‘diabolical’ blunder had delayed her treatment.

The 39-year-old is only the second patient in the world to have a recorded relapse of ebola, and its severity has puzzled experts.

Professor Jonathan Ball, a virologist at Nottingham University, said: ‘This is frankly staggering.

“I am not aware from the scientific literature of a case where ebola has been associated with what we can only assume as life-threatening complications after someone has initially recovered, and certainly not so many months after.”

Cafferkey could have been treated sooner for its re-emergence but for apparent misdiagnosis by an out-of-hours GP service.

Her sister Toni Cafferkey said the nurse had gone to a clinic at Victoria Hospital in Glasgow on October 5, but the doctor who assessed her diagnosed a virus and sent her home.

She said the way her sister had been treated was ‘absolutely diabolical’.

Cafferkey’s condition worsened and the next day she was taken by ambulance to Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

On Saturday an emergency military flight took her to London for treatment at the Royal Free Hospital.

She had contracted the virus last December while treating patients in Sierra Leone, West Africa. The NHS nurse nearly died during three weeks spent in the Royal Free before she was given the all-clear in January.

Pauline Cafferkey, a nurse who contracted ebola while working in Sierra Leone, smiles in the Royal Free Hospital in London.

PHOTO AP

A spokesman for the Royal Free said: ‘We are sad to announce that Pauline Cafferkey’s condition has deteriorated and she is now critically ill.’

Public health officials in Scotland have identified 58 people who were in close contact with the nurse shortly before she fell ill, with 40 offered vaccinations as a precaution.

Twenty-five accepted the vaccine while 15 have declined or were unable to receive it due to medical conditions.

Officials insisted children at a primary school Cafferkey visited hours before she fell ill were not at risk and Samantha Cameron, who met the nurse at Downing Street six days earlier, was also not said to be in danger.

Three British nurses fell ill with ebola at the peak of the crisis in West Africa.

Experts have begun to realise that, in some patients, the virus can linger in the body in pockets of fluid - such as breast milk or behind the eye.

It can then transfer back into the blood stream and reactivate.

Murder trial for Tostee A man accused of murder after his Tinder date plummeted to her death off his apartment balcony will stand trial.

Gable Tostee, 29, was arrested and charged with murder after Kiwi woman Warriena Wright, 26, fell 14 floors to her death from his luxury Surfers Paradise apartment in August 2014.

The pair had met through the Tinder dating app just hours earlier.

Ms Wright, from Lower Hutt, was in Australia for a wedding at the time.

Tostee was due to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court yesterday, but his lawyer Nick Dore and prosecutors have agreed the case should proceed in the Brisbane Supreme Court.

A trial date is yet to be set.

Tostee has been proclaiming his innocence in a series of bizarre posts on social media - with the latest stating that he was a victim of “abuse and violence”

on the night Ms Wright died.

“The irony (and certainly not in any comical sense) is that I dealt with the situation in the least confrontational, least aggressive way after being on the receiving end of a night of abuse and violence.

“And look where I am now,” he wrote.

He later wrote: “It is an absolute tragedy for everyone involved, especially Warriena’s family.

“What certainly is no accident though is the deplorable way in which this tragedy has been treated and dealt with.”

Tostee wrote that violence in any form was “unacceptable”, but he was not one to “cry double standard” because men did have a responsibility not to abuse the power of being larger and stronger than women.

Tostee remains on conditional bail until the trial concludes.

NZ consumer confidence picks up New Zealand consumer confidence rose for a second month after hitting a three-year low in August, helped by an improved outlook for the dairy sector and lower mortgage interest rates.

The ANZ-Roy Morgan consumer confidence index increased 4 points to a four-month high of 114.9. The current conditions index rose to 115.4 from 114.9, while the future conditions component increased to 114.6 from 108.1.

New Zealanders are feeling less gloomy as dairy prices start to recover from a slump and homeowners benefit from low mortgage rates as regional property values are bolstered

by a spillover from the heated Auckland market. Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler said in a speech on Wednesday that recent economic indicators had been “more encouraging,” although further easing in interest rates seems likely.

“Consumer confidence changed key this month and is hitting a slightly higher note,” ANZ Bank New Zealand senior economist Philip Borkin said in his report. “A few months back the economy was off key and losing fans. Sentiment had fallen sharply and threatened to keep falling. This rebound is encouraging. Stability in the view on current conditions is impor-

tant - how consumers are feeling here and now affects spending decisions.”

Still, sentiment remains below historical averages and there are still plenty of factors to keep consumers cautious, including rising unemployment, tight dairy incomes and a concerning global backdrop, Borkin said.

The 1019 people surveyed were equally split over whether they felt better or worse off financially than they did a year ago, compared with a net 6 percent who felt better off last month. A net 25 per cent expect to be better off financially in a year’s time, compared with 26 per cent last month. - NZME

The company’s shares rose 1.8 per cent to $4.99, and have declined 15 per cent this year.

Contact Energy, whose cornerstone investor Origin Energy sold out in August, plans to buy back up to $100 million shares through the rest of the financial year, as a lack of large capital projects free up cash for investors.

The Wellington-based company will buy up to 25 million shares, or about 3.4 per cent of its stock, in an on-market share buyback for a total purchase price of up to $100 million, it said in a statement. Contact signalled the possibility of a share buyback earlier this year when

it announced a special dividend payment and a new dividend policy after ditching plans to invest in geothermal projects overseas.

“With no near term plans for large capital payments, we have the capacity to return additional cashflow and we believe a share buyback is an efficient way of distributing funds to shareholders,” chief executive Dennis Barnes said.

In August, Contact reported a 29 per cent drop in underlying earnings in what Barnes described as a “disappointing” financial performance.

Workplace accidents were more often related to men than women in 2014, and coming from maledominated industries of agriculture, forestry and fisheries.

Men were behind 71 per cent of work-related injury claims accepted by ACC and 96 per cent of fatal injury claims related to men.

Age was also a factor, with the highest rates of injury claims coming from workers in the younger, 15 to 24, and older, 65 and over, age groups.

“Older workers had high rates of injury claims accepted

by ACC, especially for moreserious injuries,” Michele Lloyd, customer, policy, and research manager at Statistics New Zealand, said.

Workers aged 65 and over had the highest rates of claims for more-serious injuries according to provisional figures. That age group lodged 24 entitle-

while working.

The regional picture places Gisborne/Hawkes Bay with the highest incidence rate - 159 claims per 1000 FTEs with lowest rates found in Auckland and Wellington.

Male-dominated industries agriculture, including forestry, and fisheries had the highest rate of injury claims by occupation. In 2014, these workers made 242 injury claims per 1000 FTEs. Other occupation groups with high rates of work-related injury claims in 2014 were elementary occupations, with 238 claims per 1000 FTEs, and trades workers, with 209.

The agriculture, forestry, and fishery industry had the highest rate of more-serious injuries, with 30 entitlement claims per 1000 FTEs. Self-employed workers were more likely to experience workplace injuries than employees we re.

In brief

■ CRICKET

McCullum takes the stand Brendon McCullum’s greatest test as a cricketer has begun.

The New Zealand captain was expected to start giving evidence in the Southwark Crown Court overnight as the second witness in the trial of Chris Cairns on charges of perjury and perverting the course of justice.

McCullum has accused Cairns, described in court as his “idol”, of trying to recruit him to fix matches when he was playing T20 cricket in the Indian Premier League in 2008.

Cairns’ legal team is expected to accuse McCullum of lying and question why he took nearly three years to report the alleged corrupt approach to cricket authorities.

In her opening address to the jury, Crown prosecutor Sasha Wass QC said McCullum will give evidence that he once met Cairns in the latter’s hotel room when McCullum was playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Ms Wass said Cairns steered the conversation towards “spread betting”.

When McCullum said he did not understand how this worked, Ms Wass said Cairns pulled out a piece of paper and explained the process.

Cairns is alleged to have said “everyone was doing it” and he didn’t want McCullum to miss out, with payments of $70,000 to $180,000 per game.

Ms Wass also said Cairns explained how he was able to get money back to New Zealand without people asking questions, through an associate in Dubai.

McCullum found it difficult

to decline immediately, said Ms Wass, as Cairns was his “idol” and he was “shocked” by the proposal.

In a later telephone call, McCullum allegedly told Cairns he did not want to be involved.

The pair met again later at a café in Worcester, UK, in June 2008, where Ms Wass said Cairns asked McCullum if he had changed his mind - he had not.

“Mr McCullum did not lodge an official report against Mr Cairns and his dishonest proposal at the time.

“He ought to have done so,”

said Ms Wass. “He will tell you that he regrets that but explains it on the basis that Mr Cairns was a hero of his.”

But McCullum was troubled enough to tell several people what happened, said Ms Wass.

They include his agent, Leanne McGoldrick, former Black Caps captain Daniel Vettori and former New Zealand cricketing team-mates Shane Bond and Kyle Mills.

Ms Wass said that former Australian captain Ricky Ponting remembers a conversation with McCullum, a teammate at Kolkata, which was

interrupted by a phone call.

McCullum said it was from Cairns about a business proposal.

Ms Wass said this was inconclusive evidence but dovetailed with McCullum’s account.

It was not until February 2011 that McCullum formally reported the alleged approach, following an anti-corruption presentation by John Rhodes from the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption and security unit.

Ms Wass warned the jury that those witnesses would not provide independent evidence but what they would say was important because it shows McCullum mentioned the alleged approach “pretty near to the time of the approach itself ”.

“This is not something that Mr McCullum has made up recently out of spite.

“It was something that genuinely concerned him,” said Ms Wass.

She told the jury that Cairns’ legal team would say that McCullum is lying.

“You will consider that defence with care.

“You will ask yourself why a man like Brendon McCullum, who hero-worshipped Mr Cairns would invent such a lie?

“You will ask yourself why Mr McCullum would raise his head above the parapet to become involved in a case, where he knows he is likely to face challenge and to be discredited

by Mr Cairns?

“The only possible explanation is that he was telling the - NZME truth.”

The location may be magical but there was nothing enchanting about the conditions the players faced in the opening round of the Fiji International yesterday.

The usual challenging breezes at Natadola Bay became severe gales that caused havoc among the star-studded field, led by US PGA stars Vijay Singh and Matt Kuchar.

Kuchar, 37, looked relaxed throughout his round after jetting in from the President’s Cup in Korea.

The world number 16 had three birdies in his round of two-over 74 and admitted it

Worst bowling debut England’s leg-spinner Adil Rashid has received a title nobody wants - he’s been named the worstperforming bowler on debut in the history of test cricket. Rashid took the honour from previous recordholder, Australia’s Bryce McGain, when his 34 wicket-free overs cost England 163 runs during day two of the first test against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi. Team-mate Ben Stokes summed Rashid’s performance up simply: “It hasn’t gone the way he would have wanted it to”.

Kyrgios escapes fine Nick Kyrgios has escaped a fine for unsportsmanlike conduct that threatened to trigger a 28-day ban from the ATP Tour. Officials yesterday opted against adding to Kyrgios’s troubles after he received a code violation from chair umpire Mohamed Lahyani for accidentally swatting a ball in frustration towards a linesperson at the Shanghai Masters. The Australian is serving a six-month suspended sentence and will be banned for four weeks should he accrue fines totalling $US5000 before February 24.

Lockyer backs Mal Brisbane and Queensland legend Darren Lockyer says he should be overlooked for Immortal Status in favour of Maroons coach Mal Meninga. Lockyer is tipped to be included in the exclusive club when the judging panel meets next year to determine the next inductee.

The performance of North Queensland playmaker Johnathan Thurston in leading the Cowboys to this year’s NRL premiership has ignited debate about whether he should be included while still playing. - AAP

Dark day for Dutch Dutch football fans usually decked in bright orange were wearing black yesterday after the Netherlands failed to qualify for a European Championship finals for the first time since 1984. Dutch newspapers described Holland’s 3-2 home defeat against a 10-man Czech Republic as “the biggest underperformance in the history of Dutch football”.

Match-fixing ban

Geary leads the field in Fiji International

By Peter White

Ashburton Guardian 17

‘was purely about survival out there”.

He shares second place with four others.

Tauranga’s Josh Geary is the first round leader by two shots after he finished strongly with birdies on 15 and 17 for an even par 72.

Fresh from winning his third tournament on this year’s China Tour, he birdied the fifth and sixth holes to put him on top of the leader board until a double bogey on the par five seventh.

But he fought back well in the tough conditions.

“It was a bit of a miracle in the first nine holes as I didn’t really hit it that great and missed quite a few greens,” Geary said.

“But I made some great saves and made some good putts which is unlikely when it is so windy.

“I hit some good shots when I needed to on the hard holes. All in all it was a pretty hard day so I am happy with 72.”

The next best of the 17 Kiwis in the field were Ryan Fox and Mark Brown on four over, with Kieran Muir and Brad Shilton a shot further back.

Course co-designer and Fijian national Singh shot 78, which included a triple bogey on the par-five fifth.

“It was not an easy day but I managed okay except for one hole,” Singh said.

“I played pretty decent and

could have been a few shots better but then again could have been a lot worse.

“It was just a tough day to play in these conditions.”

To compensate for the weeklong wind issues, the greens had not been cut for three days which at least meant the balls held on the greens.

The gusty winds played mind games with the players all day but did cause the comical moment of the day. Kuchar’s bogey putt on the second finished short but before he could mark it, the wind blew the ball into the cup.

Peter White travelled to Fiji thanks to Fiji Airways and - NZME PGA Australia.

FIFA on Wednesday banned former top South African official Lindile Kika for six years for his role in a major match-fixing scandal with Asian betting syndicates before South Africa hosted the 2010 World Cup. Kika, the former South Africa Football Association director of national teams, was one of five officials named in a FIFA report on match-fixing.

The new American season tees off just 18 days after the Tour Championship ended the old one as McIlroy, a four-time major champion, and England’s seventhranked Justin Rose, the 2013 US Open winner, top the names at the Frys.com Open in California. “I want to get my game back to the level where it has been and can be again,” said McIlroy.

Moody in the deep end

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Joe Moody his topped a whirlwind week by being rushed straight into the All Blacks team to play France in their World Cup quarter-final at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday.

Canterbury and Crusaders prop Moody arrived in Swansea from New Zealand following two long-haul flights and a three-hour train journey four days ago after loosehead Tony Woodcock was ruled out of the tournament with a hamstring injury.

Moody, who has played eight tests for the All Blacks - all last year - has been named on the reserves bench ahead of veteran Ben Franks for the suddendeath match in Cardiff.

If 27-year-old Moody’s callup might raise an eyebrow, the rest of Steve Hansen’s team is relatively straightforward.

Not surprisingly, after their exit against the same team at the same stage four years ago, it is his strongest.

The team has an average age of 28 and has amassed a total of 1295 test caps.

Skipper Richie McCaw returns to the No7 jersey after a thigh problem ruled him out of the Tonga pool match, and prop Charlie Faumuina returns to the bench following his hamstring issue.

Nehe Milner-Skudder has claimed the No14 jersey - his two-try performance against the Tongans in Newcastle enough to convince the selec-

than a packed Millennium Stadium.”

Hansen added: “All Blacks and French tests are always intense affairs and we expect this weekend to be no different.

“The French will be very physical and both teams have plenty to play for.

“We’re at the time in the tournament where the big boys have to step up to the plate and the team that does this the best will move through to the next round. It’s as simple as that.

“We can’t wait.”

Joe Moody: On the reserves bench for French match.

tors that he deserves the right wing spot over Waisake Naholo.

Lock Brodie Retallick and left wing Julian Savea predictably return to the starting lineup.

Tawera Kerr-Barlow has been named as halfback cover on the bench - a sign that he has overtaken TJ Perenara in the pecking order following some solid performances at this tournament.

Hansen has retained his gamble of not naming a lock on the reserves bench, with loose forwards Victor Vito and Sam Cane again named there, suggesting that the All Blacks will be looking to lift the tempo in the final quarter of the game, and also pressure the French players by attempting to out-run them to the breakdown.

France were extremely disappointing in this area in their final pool game against

Ireland last weekend, but a heightened desire against their old World Cup foe is likely to close the gap on Sunday morning NZT. “We’re exactly where we want to be - playing a quarterfinal at Millennium Stadium,” Hansen said.

“It’s finals footy and we’re hugely excited by that.

“We’re a team that enjoys a challenge, we’ve had a great week’s preparation and it’s now about putting it out on the park.

“This team has always been about making its own history.

“We’ve known for a long time that this match-up may be a possibility and we’re really looking forward to it.

“There are not many better places to play

All Blacks back in favour with punters All Blacks fans are feeling a little better about their side’s chances about winning the World Cup, with more bets placed on New Zealand than Australia at the TAB this week.

This arrests a two-week period when more bets were placed on the Wallabies, and might have had something to do with New Zealand’s better second half in their 47-9 victory over the Tongans last weekend.

As many as 32 per cent of punters backed the All Blacks this week to win the tournament, with 24 per cent favouring the Wallabies.

Last week the numbers were 23 per cent and 43 per cent respectively.

Confidence in South Africa has been growing after their dreadful start, with 20 per cent of all bets this week on the Springboks to win the tournament.

The TAB have been chart-

ing who punters think will win the World Cup based on the n u m b e r of bets for the overall winner.

It now means that 36 per cent of

all bets taken since the Rugby World Cup markets opened in July 2014 are on the All Blacks to win.

That number peaked at 56 per cent soon after the markets opened, and was at 43 per cent on the eve of the tournament.

Australia are second favourites with 17 per cent and Ireland and South Africa equal third with 12 per cent.

The quarter-finals take place this weekend, with South Africa taking on Wales and the All Blacks playing France on Sunday morning (NZT).

Ireland play Argentina and Australia take on Scotland on Monday morning.

Will the All Blacks be celebrating after the final? Kiwi punters think so.

Facing the haka French forwards say the All Blacks’ pre-match haka will fire them up for a massive effort against the world champions in Sunday’s quarterfinal at Cardiff. Prop Nicolas Mas said: “Such moments are unique, and you remember them forever.

The haka is a source of motivation for them, but also for the opponents.” When they met in 2007 in Cardiff, the French removed their tracksuits to reveal T-shirts variously coloured blue, white or red. They then lined up in formation to embody a French tricolour as they confronted the All Blacks.

Jonny come lately Irish coach Joe Schmidt has done a backflip on his usual selection policy because he has so many wounded players, according to the Irish Times. Star flyhalf Jonny Sexton (groin) is still being touted as a possibility to play against Argentina in Cardiff on Monday, as is fellow back Keith Earls, who is described as “battered”.

“Johnny did about 3.5 kilometres of running, that’s a positive,” said Ireland scrum coach Greg Feek.

“We’re quietly confident, we’ll see how he goes on Friday.”

- NZME

Judiciary slammed Sir Clive Woodward believes judiciary over-reaction is marring the Rugby World Cup. England’s 2003 World Cup-winning coach took to Twitter to vent his frustrations, saying the tribunal has come down too hard on some players. He didn’t specify who he was referring to, but Woodward’s post came in the wake of key Scottish forwards Ross Ford and Jonny Gray copping tournament-ending three-week bans for a seemingly innocuous two-man tip tackle on Samoa flanker Jack Lam. “RWC is scoring massive own goal over suspensions.

It is a World Cup! and maximum 1 match is plenty unless a v bad red card incident,” he tweeted. - AAP

Strauss talks tough Fired-up Scotland forward Josh Strauss has vowed to beat Australia in a tribute to banned teammates Ross Ford and Jonny Gray.

The Dark Blues pair were rocked by the news their Cup was over after receiving three-week bans for their illegal two-man tip-tackle on Samoa’s Jack Lam. Strauss feels his colleagues were treated harshly and has vowed to take out his frustration on the Aussies at Twickenham. “It was a tough call [for the disciplinary officer]. When I heard it myself, I was angry. It motivates me. I want to put in a performance for them.”

A heroes welcome The Japanese rugby team has returned home as heroes after winning three games at the Rugby World Cup. Coach Eddie Jones saved the highest praise for his Rugby World Cup squad for their homecoming, presenting the Brave Blossoms as “the new sports heroes of Japan.” Under Jones’ guidance, Japan easily surpassed all expectations by winning three pool games in England, kicking it all off with the biggest upset ever, against twotime Rugby World Cup champion South Africa.

Old foe stand in Hammers’ way

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The Mid Canterbury faithful will be hoping to keep any thoughts of a potential Meads Cup three-peat out of their minds ahead of the Hammers’ crunch semi-final clash against Wanganui at the Ashburton Showgrounds tomorrow.

Should Grant Keenan’s team see off the Butcher Boys, they will have the chance to defend the title against either South Canterbury or Wairarapa Bush next Saturday, and achieve an unprecedented third successive Meads Cup triumph.

Mid Canterbury produced a round-robin tally of seven wins and one loss, the solitary defeat coming against Horowhenua Kapiti, whose never-say-die attitude saw them claw their way back from 43-20 behind to a 43-47 win a fortnight ago.

The Hammers then faced an equally plucky, but less clinical, North Otago last weekend and took a 39-36 win at the Whitestone Contracting Stadium in Oamaru to secure a second place finish, ce-

menting a home semi-final.

Wanganui also had just one loss on their path to a Meads Cup semifinal, a narrow 30-28 defeat to Mid Canterbury in week two, thanks to a last-gasp try from second five Nete Caucau.

Mid Canterbruy assistant coach Craig Dunlea said he is expecting a major threat from the North Islanders, who will look to assert themselves from the outset.

“We know what they’re about.

“They’re a bloody good outfit and have some real power runners and try to dominate the game line with their big boys,” he said.

Dunlea said the Hammers will have to tighten up defensively and close down Wanganui’s pacy attacking threats.

“Defence is something we’ve been looking at all year, but I think it comes down to desire, you have to want to make the tackles and we’ll need to,” he said.

Loose forward Daniel Fitzgerald remains the only doubt for Wanganui after injuring his ankle against Poverty Bay, but coach John

Caskey’s squad is largely in good shape.

Caskey said his players will need to be more disciplined than the last time the two sides met.

“We need more discipline, we were leading, right in to overtime, but we conceded too many penalties last time we played them,” he said.

“We could have spent the last part of the game in their 22 but instead we kept conceding penalties, and they have good kickers, so we need to take penalties out of the game.”

Caskey said he expects a rugged battle up front and will look to contain the Hammers’ dominant midfield duo of second five Neta Caucau and centre Fa’aitu Tuamoheloa.

“They’re very strong up front and have a good, powerful midfield with the Fijian boys at second fiveeighth and centre,” he said.

“They’ve got a good first five, probably one of the best over the last few seasons, they’re well organised so there’s not many weak areas.”

Hammers lock Eric Duff tackles North Otago’s first five Ben Palmer last Saturday. Coach Grant Keenan will hope for a tighter defensive display against Wanganui tomorrow.

Dhoni to the rescue Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni led from the front as the hosts fought back to stun South Africa by 22 runs in the second one-day international in Indore yesterday.

India, restricted to 9-247 after electing to take first strike in good batting conditions, hit back to bowl South Africa out for 225 and level the five-match series 1-1.

A relentless display of pace and spin bowling by the tourists had reduced India to 6-124 before Dhoni smashed an unbeaten 92 off 86 balls to help the hosts recover to a more respectable total.

Dhoni added 41 for the seventh wicket with Bhuvneshwar Kumar (14) and 56 for the eighth with Harbhajan Singh (22).

The skipper finished with four sixes, including one off the final delivery from young paceman Kagiso Rabada, and seven boundaries.

Dhoni then marshalled his limited resources astutely as left-arm spinner Axar Patel and seamer Kumar grabbed three wickets each and Virat Kohli took three good catches to fashion the unexpected win.

Having lost the opening encounter in Kanpur by five runs, India go into Sunday’s third international in Rajkot on level terms and looking increasingly confident.

Faf du Plessis was the lone batsman to shine for the tourists with 51 as the rest of the batting succumbed under the pressure applied by Dhoni’s men under lights.

The Proteas were sailing along at a comfortable 2-134, following a 82-run stand between du Plessis and JP Duminy, when India bounced back with three wickets in the space of 15 deliveries.

Patel trapped Duminy leg-before for 36 and had du Plessis offering a catch to Kohli in the covers, before Kumar forced David Miller to edge his first delivery to Dhoni behind the stumps.

Kohli then dived to his left in the covers to pick up a superb

catch that removed danger man South African captain AB de Villiers for 19 and made South Africa 6-167 in the 33rd over.

Farhaan Behardien (18) and Rabada (19 not out) attempted to pull South Africa out of trouble, but India held their nerve in front of a sell-out crowd of 27,000 home fans.

Earlier, fiery spearhead Dale Steyn claimed 3-49 and fellow fast bowler Morne Morkel and leg-

spinner Imran Tahir chipped in with two wickets each to restrict the Indian batsmen. Ajinkya Rahane was the only other batsman besides Dhoni to shine with 51.

India’s batting woes at the top of the order were highlighted by the run out of star batsman Kohli for 12 while attempting a second run when Rahane was dropped at mid-off by Behardien.

The one-dayers will be followed by four Test matches.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The little civilities that restore your faith in society will be in large supply.

People will hold the door open for each other and place their orders to the cashier with the appropriate “please” and “thank you.” Nice!

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You will be moved to pick up trash and solve problems that do not technically originate with you just because it feels good to be a part of the solution.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Human communication is so nuanced that it often gets misconstrued. Often the things we say actually mean the opposite of their literal definition. You get it, though, and will process today’s messages accordingly.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ve had your worries, but they will subside as you realise that you are richer than you think. That’s what you’ll claim on this beautiful day, a sense of optimism that only rests in the most grateful of hearts.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): As much as you value loyalty and are impressed by unbridled enthusiasm, you usually behave more like a cat than a dog. Today you will be independent and graceful in your approach.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): If indeed the universe really does have a purpose, this is one of those rare days in which the universal purpose lines up more or less directly with your own.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Mark Twain suggested that man is the only animal who blushes, or needs to. This will resonate today as someone hits a trigger that creeps up on you like pink heat.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You are a powerful communicator. Getting through to others has to do with preparation. Practice and perfect your messages. Your self-assured words will inspire action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Instead of adapting to the circumstances others have laid out for you, your desire is to create your own niche.

You’ll succeed with a compromise.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Avoid deprivation.

Give yourself a little of what you want. If you have trouble stopping after just a little, then try to divert your attention to other things you enjoy.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ll meet with people who would like to join your cause. Keep asking questions. Find out what they need. If you feel you can meet those needs, you’ll be persuasive.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You will present things that people already know in a way they have never heard before, helping them form new neural pathways and emotional connections.

Rhys Cromie in action during the inaugural night for Fast 4s at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre on Tuesday.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 131015-TM-114

Fast 4s big hit on court Terrace Downs Fast 4s tennis made its debut in the South Island at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre on Tuesday.

Six teams of two players contested the first round of the sponsored competition, with the winning pair after the five week round taking home $180 worth of prizes.

All match-ups were eventually 3-0 clean sweeps, but the paths to those results were vastly different.

Methven Movers played Two Pistols, with the latter taking out both singles matches.

Peter Bryant was tested by youngster Jarrad Hill before prevailing 4-1, 4-3 (4), meaning two short sets to 4, including a tiebreak in the second set at 3-3, which Bryant won 5-4 after a sudden-death point.

Peter Kirwan was too strong for Nic Thomassen winning 4-1 4-0. The doubles also went Two Pistols’ way 4-3 (2), 4-0.

The Racqueteers took on NKT, with all three matches being won 4-1, 4-1 by NKT. Neil McCann and Tony Brosnahan represented NKT, and the Racqueteers were Dan Cop-

McIloy launches US PGA Tour bid P17

land and Hamish Symons.

The feature match on the front courts, was Scruff and Co versus ConAid. Aidan Mitchell started slowly against seven-time Gala Cup Champion Rhys Cromie, dropping the first set without winning a game, before turning the tables on Cromie in the second to win it 4-1.

Cromie was able to regroup for the third set, and took it out 4-1.

On the next court, old campaigner, Peter Leonard, a Gala Cup champion from last cen-

tury, was playing junior Connor Brosnahan.

Leonard took the first set 4-2, before Brosnahan upped his level and won the second set 4-2.

He wasn’t able to sustain his form, though, and Leonard’s experience saw him through 4-1 in the final set.

In the doubles, Mitchell and Brosnahan won a tense first set on sudden-death tiebreak point 4-3 (4), and had a 2-1 lead in the second.

Cromie and Leonard dug deep, reeling off three straight games to force a match tiebreak

final set, which they won comfortably 10 points to 2.

“The players all gave the innovative new competition a big thumbs-up, and entries have opened for the second round which will commence in five weeks’ time.

“If there are a large number of teams, they will be divided into sections,” said Mid Canterbury Tennis president Tony Brosnahan.

The fixtures can vary in length from under an hour, to just under two hours, which happened in this week’s match-ups.
