Fresh snow draws crowds to Mt Hutt

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Success for Dunn P18

Mt Hutt skifield enjoyed its busiest day of the season on Saturday when over 4000 skiers and riders headed up the mountain to enjoy 67cm of fresh snow.

Skifield staff had worked hard to have facilities and the access road clear after the week’s big snowfall. Huge wind drifts blocked upper sections of the access road on Friday and staff were able to clear a path for 4WD vehicles only.

Come Saturday, the road looked like a major highway well before sunrise as earlybird skiers and riders headed up early to beat the crowds.

Ski area manager James McKenzie

said the combination of fresh snow, school holidays and fine weather saw the mountain reach capacity by 8.25am, at which point the access road was closed to uphill traffic.

While some were disappointed they had to wait, shuttle buses were busy ferrying as many people as they could to the new snow.

On Facebook, people said it was an epic day, despite the crowds. The skifield stayed open until 5pm.

Christchurch skiers said they hit the road before 6am so they could nab early snow and were rewarded with fantastic powder rides.

Wind yesterday shut down the Sum-

mit Six and the Triple lifts though other parts of the skifield were open.

The skifield has a base of nearly 140cm in places and weather forecasters are predicting more snow at the end of this week, when another cold southerly outbreak is expected.

“It’s nowhere near as bad as last week’s storm,” said MetService forecaster Cameron Coutts.

“But it will still bring rain and strong southerly winds to much of the country, and snow down to 400 or 500 metres over southern and eastern parts of the South Island.

“More good news for skiers and not so good for the rest of us, but it is winter.”

■ PLASTIC BAG LEVY

Ashburton support for levy

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When the votes are counted on imposing a levy on plastic bags, Ashburton’s name will be on the list.

Mayor Donna Favel has polled her councillors and by the narrowest of margins they’ve supported Ashburton adding its name to the growing list of local bodies who want a bag levy to become part of doing business in New Zealand.

Wellington mayor Justin Lester wrote an open letter to central

government asking for a plastic bag levy to become mandatory across the country. This has been circulated to all local authorities and almost three quarters of the country’s 67 mayors have now signed.

Lester said a 5 pence levy on single-use bags introduced in the United Kingdom had resulted in an 86 per cent decrease in the number going to landfills.

With local government conference on the agenda next weekend, Favel believes the plastic bag levy

will come up for discussion and while she supported its introduction, she wanted to know what her councillors thought. She conducted an informal poll and by just one vote was given the mandate to add Ashburton’s name to the growing list of levy supporters.

Personally, Favel said she avoided plastics and packaging whenever she could.

“The three recycling Rs – reduce, reuse, recycle have now become five (replace, refuse) and I try to use the fifth, refuse by re-

fusing to accept it in the first instance,” she said.

Retail NZ, an organisation representing 4200 businesses, has added its voice to the call for Government to impose a plastic bag levy with the organisation’s spokesman Greg Harford saying the only feasible method of reducing plastic bag use and limiting the environmental impact of plastic bags was through legislation.

Around 1.5 billion plastic bags are used in New Zealand each year and on average it takes just

12 minutes before a bag enters the waste stream.

Ashburton waste recovery manager Craig Goodwin said the district currently dealt with one use plastic bags through a drop-off point at its recycling centre. Supermarkets were also helping the cause with their plastic bag drop bins, he said. When the district’s kerbside wheelie bin service starts in September, plastics bags should be placed in the recycling bin. They will then be separated out at the recycling centre.

■ ASHBURTON CAGED BIRD CLUB

Colourful display of birds for visitors to show

By LiNda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The heaters were on in the Tinwald War Memorial Hall over the weekend to make sure 630 caged birds weren’t feeling the chill.

The canaries, budgies, finches and other small birds were part of the Ashburton Caged Bird Club’s 50th show and they put on a colourful and chirpy display for the steady stream of people who visited on Saturday and Sunday.

Show manager Ray Vincent said breeders from all around the country entered birds in the big show, showing dedication and determination to get to Ashburton after the polar blast that swept up the country during the week.

Breeders from the North Island were stuck on the alternative inland route from Nelson for five hours while emergency services

put out a truck fire that closed the highway.

Vincent said the birds didn’t enjoy the cold weather so the hall was heated to a comfortable temperature for them.

His own Norwich canaries were amongst the birds being judged, with rosettes for the best in each breed.

Vincent has been breeding the birds for years and has around 80 at his Ashburton home; he says they can be affectionate and sit on his shoulder when he’s working in the cages.

Lovebirds were affectionate only to their mates and vicious to other birds, he said.

Visitors to the hall this weekend were keen to see the variety on show while judges took a more critical look, awarding points for shape, colour, tail and head.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Amalgamation ‘won’t go away’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The word ‘amalgamation’ is the elephant in the room when it comes to local authorities looking at their future, says Ashburton District councillor Mark Malcolm.

He says he’s not afraid of the word and while he’s not flying the amalgamation flag, he says it’s an option no council can discount in the years ahead.

In last week’s Rakaia News column, Malcolm suggested that in-

stead of building a new civic centre the Ashburton council should be taking a look at amalgamating with either Selwyn or Timaru.

“They have nice civic buildings … maybe we could share …” he wrote.

When councillors voted to build the district’s new civic centre and library in Baring Square East, Malcolm was the only person who abstained from voting.

His abstention was something of a protest vote, he said.

“I was always keen on the site

that’s been chosen but my problem is having to vote on building a building on a site the council mostly doesn’t own.”

He’s also concerned that the council may have backed itself into a corner in terms by declaring it needed to buy land from both the Methodist Church and a private landowner to build the new complex.

Those negotiations should have been carried out behind closed doors and before votes were cast, Malcolm said.

“The way it’s been done, we’ve become price takers, not price makers.”

Malcolm’s suggestion that amalgamation could be the way forward came from a desire to get people thinking about how the district might be administered in the future and whether millions of dollars should be spent today for a form of governance that may not be in place further down the track.

“I like to challenge things and create a bit of debate. I don’t see amalgamation as the way to go for

the council – at the moment,” he said.

The council had a number of excellent assets that would be lost to the community if it amalgamated with another local authority; these would need to be locked up and protected before any moves were made in that direction, he said.

No council could afford to ignore the amalgamation issue, Malcolm said, because it was clearly on central government’s agenda.

Pete living life to the full despite hearing loss Pete White-Driver is the first star in our short series about hard-of-hearing individuals overcoming hurdles within the Ashburton community.

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Reasonably good hearing came to an abrupt end for Pete White-Driver six years ago, when he lost his hearing “literally overnight”.

The music enthusiast and singer had worn hearing aids for nearly 40 years, but was abruptly rendered profoundly deaf through Meniere’s disease.

Yet today, with the help of Tui the hearing dog and one voice-activated cochlear implant, there is no lack of gusto in Pete’s life. Through the power of memory alone he sings and plays music.

He works at the rural services company Carrfields, and also loves his tinkering, DIY and “man’s stuff”.

Tui, when not lounging by the heater in the work smoko room, is ready to alert Pete to the sound of the phone, doorbell or smoke alarm. The cochlear implant helps Pete to hear voices along with “a few other unexpected sounds”.

“When I got the implant, I thought, what the heck is that noise? ... I hadn’t heard them for 30 odd years, but it was the birds.”

Pete says the Ashburton community and the people around him have been “great” in accommodating his hearing loss. His workmates all know to look at him while talking, local shops are happy to welcome Tui inside, the fire service have been “awesome” in helping install deaf smoke alarms, and New Zealand Sign Language classes have become a weekly “social highlight”.

Yet, missing out on conversation provides one obstacle for Pete. He says people are often uncertain how to approach him, “just because of the unknown”.

“I do want to be able to contribute,” Pete says, “If I can’t hear, say it slow, not loud”.

Pete hopes that one day he’ll be able to get a second cochlear implant. This would improve his ability to locate sounds but comes with a hefty price tag and no government funding, unlike his first.

Pete also hopes that one day, a support group might form in Ashburton for spouses of the hard of hearing – people, he says, for whom it can be incredibly challenging also.

■ METHVEN BNZ

BNZ reduces banking hours

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Methven BNZ customers are being left out in the cold if they go to do their banking after 2.30pm.

Late last month the town’s only bank branch changed its opening hours, and these have also been reduced at the Remarkables and Geraldine branches.

The Methven and Geraldine BNZ’s new hours, introduced June 26, are 10am to 2.30pm. The

Remarkables BNZ’s new hours are 9.30am to 12.30pm then 1.30pm to 5.30pm.

Methven resident Emily Cooke said her husband had gone to the bank recently to set up an account, but there were no appointments left that day because it was soon to close at 2.30pm.

“How can a child bank pocket money, how can a working person get to the bank?” Cooke said.

A BNZ spokesperson replied

to a Guardian media query by email, and said the bank was constantly reviewing the locations of its store network and the branchs’ opening hours. This was to make sure it was focusing investment in the areas it could best serve the changing needs of customers.

“Every day we are grappling with the fact that the banking world is changing rapidly. The reality of banking today is that 89

per cent of our transactions are made using our digital channels.

A decline in demand for in-store transactional and advisory services in Remarkables, Methven and Geraldine reflects this fact,” he said.

As well as ATM services at those locations, customers could access internet, mobile and phone banking services, and specialist support was available via its contact centre 24/7.

In brief Vehicle hits ice A delivery driver had an unexpected deviation on his way from Ashburton to Christchurch yesterday when his vehicle hit ice on State Highway 1 just north of Dromore corner. The vehicle went off the road and into a paddock.

Emergency services found it upside down by a nearby tree at 6.50am. The driver was taken to hospital with moderate injuries.

Police are reminding drivers to beware of the icy conditions at the moment. “Particularly in shady areas, the ice may not have melted, making for hazardous conditions.

Please slow down, increase your following distances and buckle up.”

■ ASHBURTON TOY LIBRARY

Flight delayed

Search for a new home continues

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When you’re looking for a new home, it’s not often a key requirement is that it must be able to accommodate thousands of toys.

That’s the challenge the Ashburton Toy Library is facing as it struggles to do its business in a home it has now outgrown.

For several months the library has been looking for a new base because its home for the past 22 years, the Methodist Church Hall, is now struggling to accommodate the growing range of toys and burgeoning membership, says the organisation’s president Anthea Moore.

“We’re constantly expanding our range of toys and we’re also trying to grow our membership,” she said.

Over recent weeks the committee had looked at a few places but they were either not immediately available or did not meet the organisation’s needs.

Because toys had to be packed away at the end of each session, it took more than an hour to set up and an hour to pack up, but Moore said she accepted finding a base where large toys could be let out could be a challenge.

Ashburton’s Toy Library is one of New Zealand’s biggest in terms of both membership and stocks.

Currently it has just over 160 families on its books and the goal is to grow this to 200, she said.

Members range from families who are happy just to hire toys, families who are keen to work as volunteers a couple of times a year and a growing number of grandparents who sign on for short periods to borrow toys when grandchildren visit.

Turei admits lie

Hunter Anderson, three and a half and brother Max, 16 months, test driving vehicles at the Ashburton Toy Library.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 130717-SN-015 “The library is great because parents don’t have to buy the expensive, big toys and it’s also good from an environmental and zero waste point of view too, no big toys cluttering up the house and no need to dispose of them later.”

Over their 22-year relationship, Moore said the toy library and the church had a good relationship, the decision to move on was based

on space needs. “We’ve worked well with one another for so long and there’s no timeframe around this. We approached the church at the start of the year and said we’d outgrown the place.”

The organisation is funded by membership and grants and toy buying is done through bulk deals accessed by the national toy library federation.

Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei should pay back money she received on welfare as a solo mum after admitting she lied to authorities, a tax lobby group says. Ms Turei said she didn’t tell welfare officials she had income from flatmates when she was receiving a benefit while studying law in the 1990s. “I knew that if I told the truth about how many people were living in the house my benefit would be cut,” she said when releasing a families policy package yesterday. “And I knew that my baby and I could not get by on what was left. This is what being on the benefit did to me – it made me poor and it made me lie.” The New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union says she needs to pay back the money she received from Work and Income as a result of her lying about her living situation. - NZME

Lagmhor School to celebrate 100 years

Novelist battles Parkinsons for publication

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Lagmhor School is on the hunt for their oldest living pupil as they gear up for their centenary celebrations next year.

May 2018 will mark 100 years since the Year 0-6 school opened its doors to the Ashburton District.

The school merged with Ashburton Borough School in 2001 and 36 students currently attend.

The school operates from two

Robbie Scott with his newly published novel, Lucy O.

classrooms on a three hectare site, about 9km inland from Tinwald.

Chief organiser of the event, Jarrod Ross, said planning is under way for celebratory events on May 11 and 12 next year.

The school is hoping to get in touch with its oldest living pupil, and has set up an email at lagmhor100@gmail.com for alumni to get in touch.

More details about the celebrations will be announced later in the year.

Dream of becoming author now a reality

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When he lived in Ashburton, cars were Robbie Scott’s world and his work.

Today he’s a man of words, living the dream of writing a novel.

It’s been more than 10 years in the making but finally that novel, Lucy O, has been published and is finding its way onto bookshelves around New Zealand.

While the story of a mechanic who turned real estate agent and finally became a potter, dog breeder and author might be notable, it becomes a far greater achievement when Parkinson’s disease is added to the mix.

At a time when Robbie and partner Pamela Hooper should have been looking forward to enjoying retirement in their Whitecliffs cottage, Robbie was diagnosed with a disease that would strip his quality of life and make completing is novel a significant challenge.

The path to publication was not an easy one, but eventually Dawn Johnson at Word Edge, an independent American editor and publisher, saw potential in the novel.

Since its been published, the Whitecliff locals are seeing what she saw and they’re giving Robbie plenty of positive feedback, Pamela said.

She’s not a reader, but admits to enjoying the book, saying the plot’s many twists and turns keep a reader engaged until the last page.

“It’s a real mystery, you really don’t know what is going to happen.”

Parkinson’s means Robbie won’t be hosting book launches and signing sessions, but he is taking a quiet satisfaction in being a published author, Pamela said.

“He’s so happy to have it published, he’s now onto his second book.”

Lagmhor School eight years ago in 2009 – the school will be celebrating its centenary next year.

My Promise

“

“

The final stages of that novel were only completed through sheer determination from Robbie and support from Pamela.

As Parkinsons robbed him of his ability to move freely and affected the quality of his speech, Pamela became his literary advocate.

No matter how tough the task became, Pamela said Robbie was determined to complete his book.

“One finger on the computer was all he could manage at the end, but he was quite happy with that, he said it was slow enough for his brain to keep up with,” she said.

Robbie has drawn on familiar territory for the book’s setting – Whitecliffs Valley.

It spans the years from 1940s Holland to 1980s New Zealand.

It is a crime story laced with humour and romance and its characters are smart men and even smarter women.

Ammonia gas leak at Fairton

Homes still without power

Ashburton firefighters spent several hours yesterday morning dispersing an ammonia gas leak at Silver Fern Farms’ Fairton plant.

Fire crews, including a special hazardous materials crew from Timaru, were called to the plant at 9.24am after staff there discovered the leak.

Ashburton fire chief Alan Burgess said it appeared the leak resulted from equipment failure at the plant.

Firefighters wore protective suits and used breathing apparatus while they shut down the leak, then set up industrial fans to disperse the gas.

Ammonia is a strong smelling colourless gas, often used for

cleaning. It can be extremely dangerous if inhaled, irritating the skin, eyes, nose, throat and lungs.

“It was certainly a reasonably substantial leak so it was a matter of following procedure. They go in with breathing apparatus and equipment and control the incident. They managed to shut it down and isolate it.

“Then we go through the process of getting rid of the gas that is still around.”

Burgess said residents who lived near the plant were not evacuated, though the gas could be smelled around the plant.

Silver Fern Farms closed its Fairton plant last month, with the loss of 370 jobs.

Some homes in the Rangitikei and Manawatu are still without power, days after a fierce storm battered the central part of New Zealand.

Heavy snow, rain and wind knocked over around 100 power poles and kilometres of power lines, leaving more than 10,000 homes with no power at the height of the storm.

By midday yesterday there were still 1200 customers without power in some in remote parts of the central region, including Taihape and Mangaweka, Powerco said.

Roads are also gradually being reopened although many are still icy and motorists are warned to take care.

The Desert Road (State Highway 1 between Rangipo to Waiouru) and SH56 to Opiki reopened yesterday. SH38 between Wairoa and Te Uruwera National Park remains closed.

Powerco Operations Manager Phil Marsh said it could take a few more days to restore supply to some customers.

The network had received “massive damage” similar to the comparable snow storm of 2002, he said. Fixing the damage is

expected to cost around $2 million.

“We have identified those customers we anticipate will be worst affected. While some may have their own generators our staff are contacting everyone to see if they need assistance.”

“We are gradually mopping up problem areas in other parts of our Western region in Wairarapa, Manawatu, Whanganui and Taranaki. Once we are on top of those, more crews will be sent to the Central Plateau to continue restoration work there.”

That would involve replacing about 100 poles brought down in the storm and repairing kilometres of downed lines.

“Good progress is being made restoring high voltage supply.

However, some people might still have low voltage problems that we don’t know about.

“People might notice their neighbour has power and they don’t. That is a low voltage problem and they need to contact their retailer who will let us know.”

Slow start to ticket sales

Ashburton Trust Event Centre manager Roger Farr is hoping tickets sell out for Rhys Darby’s Mystic Time Bird show on July 27.

So far about half the tickets have sold, surprising Farr, who thought they would have all sold by now, considering Darby is incredibly funny and an international star.

“Comedy normally sells very well for us,” Farr said.

Darby said he was excited to be touring the show around the country, and especially to be go-

excited to visit as much of New Zealand as possible this tour. I can’t wait,” he said on his website.

Tickets for Mystic Time Bird were “flying out the door”, and he had had to add extra shows in Wellington and Christchurch.

He will tour the show in Australia next month, and is currently filming season two of the American sitcom Wrecked. The Hunt for the Wilderpeople actor stars in Jumanji, the sequel to the original, out in December. You can also see him on Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate

Events and Voltron. He is based in Los Angeles when not filming on tropical islands.

In Mystic Time Bird, Darby turns to the world of ancient mysticism to find answers to the world’s problems. In doing so, he discovers that he was a bird in a past life, and this knowledge takes him on an unexpected path.

Along with weird movement and sound effects, he will address the big questions like “Are we truly free in this day and age, or is alien technology guiding us into an even greater trap?”.

OUR VIEW

Driving to the conditions important Linda Clarke

SENIOR REPORTER

D

riving anywhere these school holidays has required patience.

The volume of cars on the road or wintry weather turned some trips treacherous. With three journeys to Christchurch in the past five days I saw many drivers paying attention to the snowy or wet conditions, as well as a few idiots.

I smile to myself as I pull up alongside them at the lights at Rolleston, their impatient efforts to get past me rewarded with a place in the queue just one ahead of me.

All the emergency services have been saying it, but it’s worth repeating again: Drive to the conditions, beware icy conditions, be patient.

Ashburton firefighters see their fair share of winter road crashes – their latest early yesterday morning when a delivery driver lost control on ice and ended up upside down off State Highway 1.

The driver was taken to hospital with some injuries, but it could have been much worse.

Iced over vehicles are another cause for concern these frosty mornings.

By the time you have used warm water to clear your windows and get into the car, they have iced over again.

It’s winter, plan to leave a little earlier so you have time for a thorough de-icing regime or cover windows the night before.

If you’re caught out, don’t be tempted to drive off with the heater on full blast looking through a little hole you’ve scraped clear.

Go slow on ice or snow and allow for greater braking distances; remember frost is more severe at daybreak, so while it may not be icy at 6am, it could be an hour or two later.

Even when roads are covered with grit, which improves skid resistance by 40 per cent, drivers still need to be careful.

It really is only a matter of minutes you’re dealing with, whether you’re speeding way over the limit or sitting still defrosting. Minutes.

In the big scheme of things, that’s nothing.

Editor, PO Box 77

We’re committed to keeping our seniors safe A

ll seniors deserve to be treated with dignity and with care, whatever their background or circumstances.

They deserve to be able to trust their families and those close to them, but the sad reality is 79 per cent of older New Zealanders who are abused are harmed by family members and 43 per cent of victims live with their abusers.

Elder abuse is a serious and growing problem in all our communities throughout New Zealand.

Up to 70,000 seniors will experience some form of elder abuse this year – either physical, psychological, sexual, financial or neglectful.

Sadly, most cases are not reported, as the victims are too ashamed to admit they are being abused.

Older Ashburton residents are not immune from elder abuse but are fortunate to have the services of two support groups, Age Concern and Senior Citizens.

Age Concern run its very successful 206 Club three days each week. The club provides regular exercise classes, outings, music and entertainment, quizzes, educational speakers and meals.

They also support older people with a range of other services while Senior Citizens provide support and advocacy services and a visitor service to their clients along with social events and a friendship group.

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

Alongside these organisations we also have a very active Grey Power group in Ashburton.

Given our ageing population, this serious and growing problem requires a different approach, more effective and accessible help, and intervention, wherever and whenever victims need it.

From July 1, our new Elder Abuse Response Service (EARS) put the victims of elder abuse first.

The cornerstone of EARS is a free and confidential 24/7 helpline, 0800 32 668 65 (0800 EA NOT OK).

Registered nurses will be on the other end of the phone to listen and advise anyone who needs information or support about elder abuse – whether they’re the victim or someone who’s concerned it might be happening to a friend or family member.

There will be a wider geographical spread of service providers to help more at risk elderly people than ever before, with a range of organisations around the country funded to be

able to intervene quickly and step in to help victims of elder abuse.

The new service will be able to serve different ethnic groups, with translation services available to the free 24/7helpline, and providers selected to ensure services are culturally responsive.

In addition to long-standing providers like Age Concern receiving a funding increase, 18 new organisations will be involved, including 10 Age Concern branches being funded for the first time.

We’ve increased funding for these services and have negotiated new contracts with organisations that have been selected specifically based on their ability to deliver an effective intervention service for our vulnerable older people.

Our Super Seniors Champions are also adding their voices to help spread the word and encourage people to speak out and ask for advice and help about elder abuse.

Included in the list of those championing our older people are Dame Malvina Major, Sir Jon Trimmer, Sir Peter Snell, Dame Kate Harcourt and Precious McKenzie.

In Ashburton, Age Concern have also recognised a number of people who support and provide services to our older residents as Champions of Dignity and Respect.

I was one of those recognised and proudly display my Champions of Dignity and Respect certificate in my Ashburton office.

■ EGYPT

Attacker spoke to victims The Egyptian university graduate who killed two German women at a popular Red Sea resort first sat and spoke to them in fluent German before producing a large kitchen knife and stabbing them, security officials say.

Leaving them for dead, 29-year-old Abdel-Rahman Shaaban fled the scene of Friday’s attack, chased by hotel workers and security guards.

He rushed into the hotel next door where he attacked and wounded four female tourists who, according to local media reports, included two Armenians, a Ukrainian and a Czech.

“Stay back, I am not after Egyptians,”

Shaaban shouted in Arabic at his pursuers, according to the officials.

They eventually caught up with him, disarmed and pinned him down and later handed him over to the police. Shaaban stabbed the women in the face, neck and feet, said the officials.

No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but it appeared to have been inspired by recent calls made by the local affiliate of the extremist Islamic State group on its followers to attack Egypt’s minority Christians and foreign tourists.

The officials said Abdel-Rahman is from the Nile Delta province of Kafr el-Sheikh where he attended the business school

of the local branch of Al-Azhar University – the world’s foremost seat of learning of Sunni Islam and the target of mounting criticism in recent months over its alleged radical teachings.

A statement by the national security prosecution’s office, which is questioning Shaaban in Cairo, said on Saturday that his motives and ideological convictions remained unclear.

On Saturday, tight security was in place at Hurghada, with additional checkpoints at the city’s entry and exit points and reinforced security at tourist sites, including where the attack took place.

In brief House fire kills 22 At least 22 people have died in an early morning fire at a home in eastern China. At least three people were injured after fire erupted about 4.30am yesterday in a two-storey home in the city of Changshu, near Suzhou, China Central Television reported.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Quake rattles Crete Greece’s Institute of Geodynamics says that a magnitude 5.3 earthquake has rattled the island of Crete. The earthquake occurred at the weekend off the southern coast of Crete, at a depth of 10km.

The Institute reported that the epicentre is near the coastal town of Ierapetra and about 60km southeast of the island’s largest city, Heraklion.

Mark Hamill

Behind the scenes of Jedi Star Wars fans have had a behindthe-scenes look at the franchise’s next instalment in a clip from the shoot of The Last Jedi. Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro were some of the cast who took to the stage at Disney’s D23 Expo at Anaheim Convention Centre in California yesterday to talk about the forthcoming film. Fans were expecting a new trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi but instead were shown behind-the-scenes footage that included scenes with the late Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia. “It’s all about family, that’s what’s so powerful about it,” Fisher said of the film in interviews taped before her sudden death in December. Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker, said the new film had “so many unexpected elements, which is great in a Star Wars film because it’s getting harder and harder to bring new things to the table.”

Suspect charged

Florida sinkhole stops growing

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent, possessing an item to discharge a noxious substance and robbery after five acid attacks took place in less than 90 minutes in London. One person suffered life-changing injuries in Thursday night’s attacks. The boy has been remanded in custody to appear in court today.

A sinkhole that swallowed a boat and destroyed two homes has stopped growing and officials say they will monitor it over the weekend before determining when clean-up can begin.

The hole has been stagnant since Friday afternoon, said Kevin Guthrie, Pasco County’s assistant administrator for public safety.

He confirmed that the hole, which is 76 metres wide and 15 metres deep, is the largest in three decades in the county, which

Don’t let the weather stop you reading your only local daily newspaper

has a history of sinkholes. Dramatic video showed the home in Land O’ Lakes, north of Tampa, collapsing into the hole on Friday morning. It quickly engulfed one home and a boat and then consumed about 80 per cent of another home.

Guthrie said 11 homes in all have been affected. A third home lost about 15 metres of driveway and a septic tank.

Sinkholes are stabilised by boring holes into the ground and injecting concrete. - AP

A US bride who called off her $US30,000 ($NZ39,000) wedding is throwing a party for the homeless at the swanky event centre she had booked for the reception. Sarah Cummins from Indiana said she called off the wedding scheduled for Saturday a week ago, but declined to give a reason. She was left with a nonrefundable contract for the Ritz Charles in Carmel and a plated dinner for 170 guests. Cummins says she decided that rather than throw away the food she would bring some purpose to the event and contacted homeless shelters in the area. Two buses transported shelter residents and families to the event to dine on bourbon-glazed meatballs, goat cheese and roasted garlic bruschetta, chicken breast with artichokes and Chardonnay cream sauce and wedding cake.

■ FIJI

Lagoon a luxury dream of aquamarine Likuliku is an adults-only retreat popular for proposals, weddings and anniversaries.

By Sarah McPhee

T

he Fijian flag is light blue for good reason.

The colour swamps your eyeballs when your plane first breaks through the clouds, and throughout your time in Fiji, it gleams constantly through the sea and the sky.

To the west of Fiji’s mainland sit the Mamanucas, a volcanic archipelago including Malolo Island where the luxury bures of Likuliku Lagoon Resort are perched above the flowing tides.

I spot the aquamarine shirts of the staff metres before our boat docks at the resort pier. But ahead of that, I hear them.

The Bula Fiji welcome song is tradition in these parts complete with clapping, necklaces bearing stones and wood, and beaming smiles from ear-to-ear. The scenery may be in cool blue tones but I feel embraced with warmth.

The resort has hosted a number of Hollywood stars though there’s a strict policy not to kiss and tell. As we zoom to our rooms on the back of a buggy, past a couple returning from

their walk, our driver asks: “Do you know who that was?”. We shake our heads. “He’s been to space three times,” he says, and nothing more.

Once under the water, flashes of cobalt blue flicker past my snorkel mask. There are among 300 fish in my periphery. The lagoon has certainly recovered since it copped a battering during tropical cyclone Winston last year and it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen.

In the ocean just metres from my room, blue sea stars are a dime a dozen. I also swoon at schools of rainbow moon wrasse being parted by canary yellow trumpet fish, orange clownfish and shimmering walls of chrome northern dartfish, all before I pass the end of the pier. The beauty of the island soaks its way into the water.

Each day I receive an activity sheet in my room titled Happenings in Paradise, which I peruse after a rinse in my secluded outdoor shower. Events run from 6am until nightfall, but it’s the 7am island-hopping boat trip that’s not to be missed.

IF YOU GO ■

GETTING THERE: Transfers are available from Nadi Airport to Malolo Island via helicopter, seaplane, speed boat or catamaran.

STAYING THERE: Likuliku Lagoon Resort offers luxurious, adults-only accommodation on Malolo Island, west of the Fijian mainland. It has two bars and a restaurant with private dining options, an infinity pool, spa retreat and a plethora of water activities.

Prices start at $1346 per night for a Garden Beachfront Bure, $1622 for a Beachfront Bure with a personal daybed and outdoor shower, $1893 for a bure with a private plunge pool, and $2163 for a night in one of the 10 overwater bures with a ladder into the lagoon.

Free wi-fi, meals, amenities, non-motorised activities included. See likulikulagoon. com

The soft glow of the sun in the morning beckons guests to the calm waters and we jet off around the islands of Castaway, Mana, Matamanoa and finally Monuriki – where a bearded Tom Hanks stood stranded in Cast Away. Teal stones dot the sand around the tiny, uninhabited island and coconuts have been arranged on the beach to spell out “Help Me”. We’re eager to rearrange them to say “Leave Me

Be”. We snorkel lazily back to the boat anchored in the clear ocean for some tropical fruit, coffee and croissants. I decide to plop down in my day bed and read for the rest of the day. But for those not in the mood for company, Honeymoon Island opposite the lagoon can be booked for two whole uninterrupted hours Likuliku is an adults-only retreat popular for proposals, weddings and anniversaries. But

■

Stay up with the play.

Every Tuesday and Thursday in your Ashburton Guardian.

on Fridays, guests are invited to emerge from their loved-up cocoons or twilight couples’ massages for Fiji night.

It’s a cocktail party with a song-and-dance performance by staff and a conga line of visitors leading to a banquet of traditional food. I’m on a walking tour of the grounds, learning about the medicinal qualities of the plants, when my guide Tasi and I pass the shallow pit of hot coals.

We stop to help heap the feast, which includes pork and snapper wrapped in banana leaves, onto the fire.

It’s not hard to find stomach space for the buffet despite starting the day with the resort’s signature breakfast of freshly-cut coconut and crab omelette with chilli and papaya relish.

There are private dining options too and an Indian curry night on Sundays if you’re lucky enough to still be around. Otherwise you have good reason to return.

Vinaka Vakalevu, or good bye, Likuliku. I prepare for an onslaught of the post-holiday blues.

Muguruza denies Venus

Wimbledon fashion poll

By Darren Walton

By Claire Cohen

No longer burdened by expectation, big-stage reveller Garbine Muguruza has emerged as women’s tennis’s next superstar with a watershed Wimbledon final triumph.

Muguruza denied Venus Williams a fairytale sixth crown at age 37 with an explosive 7-5 6-0 win to add the sport’s most famous trophy to her 2016 French Open title.

Victory also atoned for a painful loss to Williams’s sister Serena in the 2015 final at The All England Club as the 23-year-old became the first player to conquer both American siblings in a grand slam title decider.

“When I knew I was playing Venus in the final, I was actually looking forward for it,” Muguruza said, having brought down Serena at Roland Garros last year.

“People were surprised when I said in the French Open that I (wanted) Serena in the final.

“But that’s the final.

“A Wimbledon final with Serena and (now) Venus ... you know, she won five times, so she knows how to play.

“For me, it was a challenge to have her, growing up watching her play.

“Everybody started laughing.

But, in fact, is something incredible.

“I was so excited to go out there and win, especially over somebody like a role model.”

Muguruza’s stunning victory comes a month after losing to Australian Ashleigh Barty in Birmingham and then wrapping up her Wimbledon preparations with a 6-1 6-0 surrender to Barbora Strycova in Eastbourne.

Set to climb back to second in the rankings, the one-time world No.2 admits consistency isn’t her strong point.

But she lives for the big stages.

“Eastbourne was such a short tournament, I didn’t play well there,” Muguruza said.

“But I did the week before, so that helped me. I always come very motivated to the grand slams.

“I don’t know.

“Since I lost the final here, I wanted to change that.

“I came thinking I’m prepared, I feel good.

“During the tournament and the matches, I was feeling better and better.

“Every match, I was increasing my level.”

Almost immediately after the presentation, The All England Club’s newest member dashed inside to see her name added

When looking back at the Wimbledon 2017 ladies singles, what will you think?

Perhaps, you might remember the success of British player Johanna Konta, who made it through to the last four and cemented her place in the nation’s hearts.

Possibly, you will marvel at the incredible talent of Venus Williams, who reached the final in this, her 20th Wimbledon.

What you most likely won’t spend any time pondering, if which female player looked the best.

But, as the SW19 tournament draws to a close, that is exactly what the Women’s Tennis Association has been doing.

The WTA – which is the organising body of women’s professional tennis and describes itself as ‘the global leader in women’s professional sport’ – this week asked tennis fans to choose the female player they thought was best dressed at Wimbledon.

Seriously.

The options were Garbine Muguruza, Simona Halep, Petra Kvitova, Angelique Kerber, Heather Watson, Kristina Mladenovic, Dominika Cibulkova, Carina Witthoeft and Alizé Cornet.

“Despite the all-white clothing rule, women’s tennis players always impress with their innovative and stylish outfits, as their clothing sponsors go an extra mile to create visually interesting designs by playing with a wide range of textures and materials, combining them in unique ways,” it reads.

Thankfully, not much gets past social media these days and outraged Twitter users piled in to criticise the WTA as sexist.

It was accused of ‘objectifying’ women and reducing the players to their looks.

Despite the backlash, the poll – which describes the women’s clothing as ‘stunning’, ‘beautiful’ and ‘feminine’ – is still open (Simona Halep is in the lead, were you interested).

A spokesperson for the WTA said: “Tennis has a rich history linking the sport with fashion, and this is no more evident than at The Championships. The traditional all-white dress code at Wimbledon is one of the most famous and iconic aspects of tennis, and the recent WTA bestdressed poll was created to celebrate this unique feature of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

“We see nothing wrong with promoting athleticism while celebrating Wimbledon’s wonderful dress code.”

PHOTO AP to Wimbledon’s honour roll.

“It was amazing,” Muguruza said.

“I always look at the wall and see all the names and all the history.

“I lost that final. I’m like, I was close. I didn’t wanted to lose this time because I know the difference.

“So happy that it’s there now.”

Muguruza is the first Spanish

woman to reign at Wimbledon since her now co-coach Conchita Martinez crushed Martina Navratilova’s hopes of a 10th success in 1994.

Long tipped as the next player to dominate beyond the Williams era, Muguruza hopes her next grand slam title defence proves more successful than her shock first-round loss in Paris.

“It’s not easy.

“It’s very good when you win it, and it’s hard after when you come back and you know you have to defend it,” she said.

“But that’s a good problem to have. I’m happy to be in this situation.

“I’m happy that once again I see myself winning a grand slam, something that is so hard to do.

“It means a lot. It means a lot of confidence.”

Lions grab home advantage

By Daniel Gilhooly In a Super Rugby season dominated by New Zealand teams, it is South Africa’s Lions who have emerged as the outfit to beat.

Last year’s beaten finalists emerged on top of the standings thanks to a clinical 27-10 win over the Sharks in Durban yesterday morning, earning them home matches in Johannesburg if they keep winning throughout the play-offs.

The previously-unbeaten Crusaders lost their grip on the top spot hours earlier when beaten 31-22 by the Hurricanes in Wellington .

It was deja vu for the seventime champions, whose finalround loss to the Hurricanes last year also deprived them of the all-important top ranking.

The long distance travel involved in the play-offs makes home advantage hugely important.

In the competition’s 21 years, the top qualifiers have gone on to claim the title on 14 occasions.

The second-ranked side have won six times, with only the 1999 Crusaders bucking the trend, winning from fourth.

the southern rivals this year, including two non-competition games.

The Hurricanes have a shorter away trip than the Chiefs courtesy of placing one point in front of them.

The defending champions face the Brumbies in Canberra on Friday, seeking to extend New Zealand’s perfect record against Australian teams this season.

The Chiefs must travel to Cape Town to play the Stormers on Sunday morning (NZT).

The Lions-Sharks and Hurricanes-Brumbies quarter-finals are on the same side of the draw, setting up the prospect of a replay of last year’s decider in the semis.

QUARTER-FINALS Elton Jantjies celebrates as the Lions win again.

The title-less Lions are yet to play a New Zealand team this year due to a quirk of the conference-based competition.

That will continue next week when they host the Sharks in a

repeat clash on Sunday morning (NZT).

Another derby pits the Crusaders at home to the seventhranked Highlanders on Saturday.

It will be the fifth meeting of

Friday, July 21, 9.45pm 4-Brumbies v 5-Hurricanes, Canberra.

Saturday, July 22, 7.35pm 2-Crusaders v 7-Highlanders, Christchurch.

Sunday, July 23, 12.30am - 1-Lions v 8-Sharks, Johannesburg.

Sunday, July 23, 3am - 3-Stormers v 6-Chiefs, Cape Town.

History repeats as Canes down Crusaders By liam napier On the back foot throughout, somehow the Hurricanes have denied the Crusaders an unbeaten season and booked a favourable quarter-final in Canberra next week.

Scott Robertson’s Crusaders arrived in Wellington having won 14 straight Super Rugby games and chasing the third unbeaten season in history.

It was not to be.

Their forwards did all they could but, in the end, they will blame a horror penalty count (15-7), and lament some touches of class from the Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes’ 31-22 victory has major implications for the overall competition.

The defending champions will now meet the Brumbies next week, while the Chiefs are forced to trek to Cape Town and face the Stormers.

Just as they did last year.

The Hurricanes deserve immense credit for overcoming adversity.

Pre-match they lost Beauden Barrett to a virus which necessitated a major backline reshuffle.

Otere Black handled his call up with composure.

Other than one defensive error where Israel Dagg stood him up, likewise Jordie Barrett his move to centre.

This was an engrossing endto-end match, one worthy of a finals stage.

It featured contrasting approaches: the Crusaders’ forward

dominance versus moments of brilliance from the Hurricanes backs.

Ball in hand the Hurricanes looked far more dangerous, defying the back foot platform they battled all night.

Fresh off his starting debut for the All Blacks, Ngani Laumape was again influential with his power carries and subtle footwork at the line.

Julian Savea didn’t cover himself in glory on defence but he out-leapt Dagg to claim one try, and got involved at other times.

And on the other wing, Wes Goosen grabbed every chance that came his way.

Sam Lousi and Ardie Savea stepped up but with their pack largely dominated, it was always going to be struggle for the Hurricanes to stay in the fight.

But stay in the fight they did.

Jordie Barrett’s immaculate boot proved influential, knocking over the match-winning penalty in the 77th minute.

Richie Mo’unga and Dagg were prominent for the Crusaders; Scott Barrett up-front.

But they couldn’t find enough spark when it mattered most.

One point was the difference heading into the final quarter.

Vaea Fifita crashed over out wide to give the Hurricanes the decisive lead but they still had to survive as Mitchell Drummond was penalised for a double movement.

In the face of the Crusaders’ relentless defensive line speed, the Hurricanes’ new backline com-

Sabbatical for Smith All Blacks vice captain Ben Smith is expected to sit out eight tests this year. The Highlanders fullback and captain re-signed with New Zealand Rugby in February through to 2020 and, like many leading players, had a sabbatical clause included in his contract. Dan Carter and Richie McCaw are just two All Blacks who have exercised sabbaticals previously. Smith played a limited role in the Lions series, coming off in the first test with what was initially suspected to be concussion symptoms.

Sanzaar challenged World Rugby vice-chairman Agustin Pichot has challenged Sanzaar to invite Japan to join the Rugby Championship. The Argentinian would also like to see Georgia enter the Six Nations as part of his plan for World Rugby to grow and develop smaller nations.

Pichot’s call to see the Brave Blossoms in the Rugby Championship, alongside the All Blacks, South Africa, Australia and Argentina, comes as the Sunwolves ended their second Super Rugby campaign for a stunning win over Tana Umaga’s Blues in Tokyo.

Brumbies confident The statistics are damning, but the Brumbies insist Australia’s diabolical trans-Tasman Super Rugby record is irrelevant ahead of their quarter-final against the Hurricanes. Kiwi sides won all 25 regular season matches against Australian opponents, with the Chiefs completing the rout by beating a second-string Brumbies in Hamilton on Saturday. The Brumbies weren’t disgraced in the 28-10 defeat and have a host of stars set to return for the suddendeath final after resting players for the dead rubber.

Tonga into RWC

Crusaders skipper Matt Todd binations initially battled to gel as passes frequently hit the deck.

Defensively, the Hurricanes made some poor decisions to chase intercepts, allowing Seta Tamanivalu to waltz in for two easy tries in the first 15 minutes.

From then on, though, the Hurricanes slowly worked their way back.

Remarkably the Crusaders lost nothing by resting their full All Blacks front-row, such was their continued scrum dominance.

At the breakdown the visitors contested everything with vigour – Matt Todd a standout in this area.

Collectively the Crusaders flooded in numbers and successfully slowed the Hurricanes ruck ball, rattling TJ Perenara at times.

The All Blacks halfback’s option taking was off on occasions and his frustrations were evident

when he was penalised for sniping at referee Glenn Jackson.

To be fair, Perenara received some terrible ball and, thus, could rightly turn to his forward pack and demand more aggression, urgency and commitment in future.

It wasn’t just the scrum they struggled.

Their lineout battled to execute, and they were also exposed on the counter ruck.

Despite those issues the Hurricanes showed character to keep coming, and they are rewarded by avoiding long-haul travel and now have much better chance of defending the title.

Tonga qualified for the 2019 Rugby World Cup after Fiji beat Samoa 38-16 in the final match of the Pacific Nations Cup on Saturday. Samoa needed at least a bonus point to take the second qualifying spot, but Fiji scored five tries one to retain the Pacific Nations Cup title and finish the two-year Oceania qualifying series unbeaten. Tonga completed the Rugby World Cup’s hardestlooking pool, beside England, France, Argentina, and the United States.

Help for the Force If the Australian Rugby Union want to kill the Western Force, they are going to have to defeat the riches of mining magnate Andrew Forrest first. The Force’s bid for survival received a massive boost when Forrest pledged to do everything within his powers to help the Perth-based franchise avoid the chop. Forrest, the chairman of Fortescue Metals, is valued at $4.5 billion according to Forbes. And he has a history of bankrolling causes close to his heart. Earlier this year, Forrest revealed he would donate $400 million to charity. Now, the Australian philanthropist has added ‘saving the Force’ to his to-do list. The ARU will axe either the Rebels or Force ahead of next season.

In brief Qiji off to Australia New Zealand stakes winner Qiji Phoenix will join the Chris Waller stable to be prepared for the Caulfield Guineas. The two-year-old was unbeaten in three starts as a twoyear-old in New Zealand for Donna Logan and Chris Gibbs but was unplaced on an unsuitable track in the Group Two BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes at Eagle Farm. Aquis Farm and Hongwei Chen and Alex Teng of Horse Feng Bloodstock have bought into the colt raced by Chinese businessman Fudong Niu. “I am delighted that Aquis Farm and Horse Feng Bloodstock will be joining me in racing Qiji Phoenix,” Fudong Niu said.

High hopes for juvenile One of the top juveniles from the past season is back in work and is making steady progress towards the start of a busy three-year-old campaign. The Rogerson-trained Gift Of Power caught the eye early in the 2016/17 season when she strung together a hat-trick of wins that included the Wakefield Challenge Stakes at Trentham in December. In two subsequent starts the filly from the first crop of Cambridge Stud stallion Power finished runner-up to Hasahalo in Group Three company at Ellerslie.

Put aside for a decent break, the rising three-year-old has been back in work for some time now and is pleasing co-trainer Graeme Rogerson with her progress to date. - NZME

Dream debut

DD keeps the punters happy New Zealand’s top reinsman Dexter Dunn brings hotpot Bettor Joy back to the birdcage after the running of the fourth on the card at Ashburton yesterday. Bettor Joy, a Bettor’s Delight-Joyfulbelle two-year-old filly trained by Cran Dalgety, never had her supporters in doubt as Dunn went down to the line more than a length clear of Sauchiehall (Tim Williams) with Bridget Blue Chip (Robbie Holmes) completing the placings.

Cambridge trained three-year-old Alvins Dream launched his racing career in style with an eye-catching performance on debut at Te Rapa on the weekend. The Iffraaj gelding had received a pass mark from his three trial outings leading in to Saturday’s 1200 metre contest but took the step up to raceday company with aplomb as he dashed away from his rivals in the closing stages to record a comfortable one and three-quarter length victory, suitably impress rider Troy Harris.

Smart sprinter back Alan Tait is hoping Southern Icon’s win at Te Rapa on Saturday signals a major turnaround in the sprinter’s fortunes. The Matamata horseman produced the Big Brown gelding for a successful defence of his Group One Turf Bar title, but last year’s success had a shocking sequel. “He got a virus and that was the end of his season,” Tait said. “He showed so much ability and we tried to patch him up, but it was no go.” That illness halted a run of four successive wins from Southern Icon, who until then had been on a path toward the Foxbridge Plate and the Makfi Challenge. - NZME

Patience paying off Connections of the late bloomer Adriatic Pearl might have to bide their time for a bit longer to allow the mare to complete her CV. They have been patient this far with the rising seven-year-old, who on Saturday won for the sixth time in only 21 appearances when she was successful in the Gallagher 1600 at Te Rapa. “All we want now is a bit of black type with her and we’ll look for that probably next season,” part-owner and trainer Jim Pender said.

■ TE RAPA

Future looking good Getty announced himself as a leading spring prospect when he ventured north to Te Rapa where he continued the perfect start he has made to his career.

The Opaki youngster remained unbeaten with a strong performance to claim bragging rights after Saturday’s New Zealand Bloodstock Insurance Pearl Series Race.

Getty had been successful on debut after ploughing through heavy going at Trentham last month and he appreciated an improved surface to work with on his first trip away.

“That was a great result and I’ve always thought he would like the better tracks,” part-owner and trainer Andrew Campbell said. “He got bogged down at Wellington, but he still got the job done well.”

Getty made use of an inside gate at Te Rapa to make the running and he comfortably held his closest rivals at bay in the closing 200 metres to win by half a length from Malambo and Waldorf, a stablemate of the winner.

“I thought he would jump and lead, he’s a pretty smart horse and I was pleased with the other one as well,” said Campbell.

He now has black type options to weigh up with Getty and Waldorf with the Listed Ryder Stakes an obvious target and the Hawke’s Bay carnival to follow.

“We’ll try not to run them against each other again, I’ll have a chat with Tommy about it and we’ll make a plan,” Campbell said, referring to his long-time friend Tommy Heptinstall, who shares in the ownership of both two-year-olds.

Successful jockey Johnathan Parkes said he had no concerns during the race and he too expects Getty to improve as he strikes firmer ground.

on the giant Keeper gelding and did everything right in a stirring home straight battle that saw the Ken and Bev Kelso trained runner score his second win from just his sixth raceday start.

It certainly wasn’t an easy victory for the gelding who was originally trained by his owner, well known Matamata conditioner

Jack Tims, who transferred the horse to the Kelso’s after a bout of ill health.

Having broken his maiden status on his home track at Matamata back in June 2016 Tims had put Trueman away for a decent break after he finished seventh to recent Gr. 2 Brisbane Cup winner Chocante at his next start.

A second fresh-up at Rotorua last month augured well for his prospects in Saturday’s contest and he didn’t let his supporters down as he fought tooth and nail after being clearly headed in the run home to secure a narrow victory over Sea Home and Quantum in the rating 65, 1400m contest.

Doing it his way The Oysterman has his share of tricks and his connections are happy to play along with the jumper’s zany nature.

“He’s by Yamanin Vital and he’s got his quirks alright,” said trainer Stephen Nickalls, who shares in the gelding’s ownership with former All Black prop Gary Knight.

“He does a lot of work at the beach and by the time he gets there he’s dripping with sweat every time, but that’s just him and if he’s not sweating then I know I’m in trouble.”

Nickalls’ partner, fellow trainer and Knight’s daughter Laura, is also well aware of The Oysterman’s offbeat behaviour.

“We’ve done a lot of showjumping and Laura took him along to a sports day and he stood there and dug a hole down to his knees.

“We don’t mind putting up with him when he’s racing like he is though.”

The Oysterman prompted celebrations at his last jumping appearance when he broke his duck over the big fences in the Manawatu Steeplechase.

His main winter target is the Grant Plumbing Wellington Steeplechase, now to be run at Hastings on Thursday after the wild weather forced the abandonment of Saturday’s meeting at Trentham.

“That had been his number one target all year and it will be a dream come true to win it – we’ll be there with bells on,” Nickalls said.

Unlike a number of his rivals on Thursday, The Oysterman won’t be heading to Riccarton for next month’s Grand National meeting.

“We’ve been down there twice and both times he got hurt,” Nickalls said.

“We’ll probably work our way toward Auckland for the Pakuranga Hunt Cup and the Great Northern.

“He ran fourth in the Northern two years ago and he’s certainly a much better horse now.” - NZME

TRADES, SERVICES

Tough run home If the NZ Warriors are to make the NRL playoffs, they might have to win six of their remaining seven clashes – a strong indication that the club’s playoff drought will be extended for another season.

Their 34-22 defeat to the Penrith Panthers on Friday night put the season on life-support and downgraded their chances of making the playoffs for the first time since 2011 from unlikely to slim.

A general rule of thumb is 28 points will be enough for eighth place, but this season it might be more than that.

The Warriors currently sit on 18 points with seven rounds remaining, meaning they need to win five of their last seven games ... possibly six, just to make sure.

At the end of Round 19, the St George Dragons will be sitting in the final playoff spot on 22 points.

The Parramatta Eels currently sit in eighth, also on 22 points, but have the bye this week and will move to 24 points at the end of the round on Sunday.

The Dragons, who the Warriors will most likely be contesting the eighth spot with, play four of the bottom five teams – Newcastle Knights, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Gold Coast Titans and Canterbury Bulldogs – in their final seven games.

The Warriors will feel the loss of Shaun Johnson in the final few rounds.

The Eels have a much easier final run, with clashes against the five worst teams in the competition.

The Warriors also don’t have the hardest run home, but they’re now nearly at the point where they can’t afford to drop a game, a daunting prospect when they’ve only won one game away from home this year.

The most difficult clashes are probably the next two, meaning their season could be done in the next fortnight.

The Warriors have won just once on the road this season and don’t have the strongest record in Townsville – just five wins from 16 clashes.

The North Queensland Cowboys have also looked in fine form the last two weeks, despite losing playmaker Johnathan Thurston to a shoulder injury for the season.

The following week the Warriors host last year’s premiers – Cronulla Sharks – who currently sit second.

There’s also the worrying stat that the Warriors have won just one game in August over the last two seasons (1-8 record).

After hosting the Sharks, the final five games all look “winnable”, but with half Shaun Johnson set to be ruled out for the season following a knee injury in Friday night’s defeat, it suddenly looks most likely another September where the Warriors are left out in the cold.

It’s the trend that Nathan Brown knows his Newcastle side must fix before they can climb the NRL ladder.

The Knights’ 34-22 loss to Brisbane swung on an errant kick early in the second half, as Brisbane overcame a 12-6 half-time deficit in the blink of an eye as they scored three tries in the space of four sets.

However closer analysis of the Newcastle’s 2-15 season shows that where’s it’s regularly all gone wrong for the Knights.

Saturday’s collapse marked the fifth time this season the Knights have conceded tries in back-to-back sets.

Worse still, they have also given up three tries in the space of 10 minutes five times – in a season where they are far more competitive for the majority of periods in matches.

“When we lose that momentum we have that disappointment and then we don’t come together with our defence,” Brown said.

“And then we leak another try and we’re under the pump and then it’s here we go again.”

Brown was also most frustrated at his team’s failure to learn from the mistakes of last week.

Nathan Brown Utility Joe Wardle backed up Brock Lamb’s last-minute kick into Moses Mbye to give up a late lead last week with a similar effort into James Roberts on Saturday night. It allowed the Brisbane flyer to scoop up the ball and score, and from there, the Knights never led again.

“Last week we kicked it into Canterbury’s fastest player in Moses Mbye and this week we found Jimmy the Jet,” Brown said.

“Hodko (halfback Trent Robinson) could have kicked it, Joe could have passed it, Joe could have got tackled. The worst play was to kick it into Jimmy the Jet. “That played a huge role in the result, but what happened next we’ve got to fix before we can become a good team anyway.”

Blues search for Origin leaders Wanted: NSW Origin team leaders.

When: Now. Brad Fittler has called for NSW players to start knocking the door down to be a leader in next year’s State of Origin team as the post-mortem continues into the Blues’ latest series failure.

Fittler yesterday refused to comment on the possibility of taking over as coach should Laurie Daley step down or be given the axe.

Significantly, he didn’t rule it out.

“At the moment there’s no job and Laurie Daley is a really good mate of mine. I pay him all the respect,” Fittler said.

“Obviously there’s a decision either he’s making or the league’s making and until that happens, nothing will be said or considered.”

But that didn’t stop the the former NSW skipper from calling on the state’s NRL players to begin campaigning for next year as the search continues for players to end Queensland’s reign.

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): People feel comfortable with you. Maybe it’s the way you kindly accept all the quirks. Your presence is easy. Your love is generous. Your moments will be full and vibrantly lived.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Remember when you didn’t go because you thought it would take too long to get there? This time, go. The time will pass whether you embark on the journey or not.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): If you’re on the same team, you need to be on the same side, too. Don’t let the spirit of competition get out of hand.

Infighting will lead to the demise of the group.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): To do what is best for you is what is best for those around you. Ignore your own needs and it will catch up to the whole group. That said, there’s a difference between self-care and indulging weakness.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You could, alone in a room armed with determined focus, plan out your life down to the minute details. What’s going to work better, though, is to get in motion and start making some mistakes.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Usually when something is changing you, you feel it – and it’s not usually pleasant. They call it “growing pains,” not “growing pleasures.” The pleasure will be in the privileges of being grown.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Happy people bop along to the music, whereas sad people delve into the meaning of the lyrics. To be fully appreciated, the art (and life itself!) needs to be looked at from many different lights and moods.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The best group will be a diverse group. It may take longer to work out the different roles and the balance of personalities, but once you do, the unit will be unstoppable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Many ideas will be bandied about. If you come to an impasse, take a break and then come back to it. Don’t stop until you find a mutually beneficial solution. It’s the only kind that will endure.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Beauty captivates your attention and leads it toward hope and light.

You don’t have to be looking for beauty to find it, but you do have to know it when you see it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Excellence is a mansion atop a long, sweaty hill. Getting to it takes great effort, but it’s a lot easier because you can see the proud result as you step ever nearer to it.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): It’s pleasurable to imagine an adventure and quite a different thing entirely to embark on one. Your spirit of exploration will be awakened and encouraged by fire sign influences (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius).

Sport Root can’t save Poms South Africa took control of the second test against England after a tumultuous second day when 15 wickets fell and the Proteas emerged with a 205-run lead and nine wickets in hand. The tourists were 1-75 in their second innings after weathering a blistering 78 from 76 balls by England captain Joe Root to bowl the English out for 205 in their first innings. The Proteas’ lead grew to beyond 200 at stumps with an unbroken 57run stand between Dean Elgar and Hashim Amla. It was a roller-coaster day, though, and South Africa took command only in the final session.

Lochte case dismissed

It was a tough slog between Celtic and Southern at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Saturday, with Southern taking a close 2422 victory and booking their place in the final against Rakaia.

Deja vu for Cup final

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

At the start of the Watters Cup, many would have expected Rakaia and Southern to be facing off in the final next week.

However, not so many would have expected the tumultuous road that faced both sides on their way to the final.

Saturday saw both sides fighting for their berth, with Rakaia slipping past Methven 37-32 in a close affair at the Rakaia Domain, while Southern were made to sweat by Celtic at the Ashburton Showgrounds, narrowly taking out victory 26-24.

For the second week in a row, Rakaia co-coach Wayne Foxcroft was left stressing after his team appeared to be shooting themselves in the foot once again.

After jumping out to an early 14-point lead, Rakaia left the door open for Methven to fight their way back in to the tie, eventually closing out the firsthalf with a 17-14 lead.

Things went from bad to worse for Rakaia not long after the restart, with Methven dotting down for yet another try.

From that point, Rakaia were able to claw their way back in to the match and take the victory.

“You’ve got to give them (Methven) credit, they came to play.

“It was a great spectacle,” said Foxcroft.

Methven coach Andy Pearce echoed Foxcroft’s thoughts on the game.

“I often judge a game of rugby on if you would’ve paid to go and see it, and if you had spent 10 or 20 dollars to watch that I would imagine you would come away pretty happy,” said Pearce.

“The result didn’t go our way and it is a shame we couldn’t end on a high, but we carried on going and if we had a few more games in the season we would’ve only gotten better.”

In the other match, Celtic

had the chance to earn a much longed-for crack at a piece of silverware when they faced Southern.

It was not meant to be for Celtic however, with Southern’s vast finals experience proving too much for the young Celts.

It was another match where neither side could take ownership of the match, with Southern opening the scoring early, but unable to hammer home any form of solid lead throughout the 80 minutes.

“It was a good game of real semi-final rugby.

“It was a tit-for-tat match and this week we were on the right side of the scoreboard at the final whistle,” said Southern cocoach Michael Ellis.

For Celtic co-coach Shane Enright, a few simple mistakes was what cost his side victory on the day.

“It was just a few mistakes at the start of the match and not long after half-time and that was

an easy 14 points for them,” he said.

“In the aftermatch function they were talking about how guys like Jon Dampney was playing his 200th match, and another guy playing his 100th, while I don’t think our 20 players would have 200 games between them.”

The final will take place next Saturday between Southern and Rakaia, a rematch of last year’s final, with a location and time still to be decided.

Meanwhile, the Southern senior team will not be the club’s only side making a finals appearance next weekend after the senior B side booked their place in the Centennial Mug final.

They continued their unbeaten run in the competition, easily accounting for Hampstead 36-0.
