WorkSafe probes Ashburton death

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The new black MOTORING

A man has died following a workplace accident in Ashburton earlier this week.

The Guardian understands the man was critically injured following an accident at the site of the old New Zealand Post Office and Kiwibank on East Street.

The incident is believed to have involved a safe.

A St John spokesman said an ambulance was first called to the site at 11.20am and a man was transported from the site to Ashburton Hospital, be-

fore later being flown by helicopter to Christchurch Hospital in a critical condition just after 1pm.

A WorkSafe spokesperson said they had been notified of an incident in Ashburton and that the victim had since passed away. “WorkSafe has now opened an investigation into the matter and is unable to provide any further comment,� the spokesperson said.

The Guardian understands the man who died was Kevin Jory, the owner-operator of Security Installation Ser-

vice, a locksmithing business based in Christchurch.

A death notice published yesterday said Jory had passed away following a tragic accident in Ashburton, surrounded by his family in Christchurch Hospital on Tuesday.

The building involved, up until last week, was the residence of both Kiwibank and NZ Post.

The new Kiwibank site on Cass Street officially opened on Monday morning, while NZ Post is now operating from Paper Plus.

Students become Ashburton council advisers Ideas from community greenhouses to high spec adrenaline parks were up for debate yesterday as students from around the Ashburton District shared their ideas of the Ashburton Domain of the future.

And while a wide range of ideas were presented, the common theme in most presentations was that the domain needed to have more activities and options for older children and teenagers.

Students from the district’s two secondary schools and eight primary schools spoke to Ashburton District councillors, putting forward ideas that could see the domain develop into a vastly different place in the years ahead.

AS they listened and asked questions, councillors described the students’ presentations as inspiring and thought-provoking.

While the domain needed to retain its open spaces and beautiful trees, it needed to offer much more for it to attract a wider range of users and virtually every school wanted opportunities created where people could enjoy challenging physical activities.

The flying fox needed to be relocated, upgraded and a second piece of equipment installed to ensure all ages were catered for, playground equipment needed to be expanded to provide teenage challenge areas, a challenging bike park, skateboard park, splash pads, inground trampolines, air pillows and a dog park or agility area were all high on virtually every wish list.

While some schools came up with a range of suggestions, Mt Hutt College and Tinwald were very focused in their ideas.

Mt Hutt students Harrison Hyde, Kate Herlihy and Victoria Hutana suggested a community greenhouse could create a place where the community could work together to learn new skills. It could become a community hub that would become a living classroom for schools and would create jobs and opportunities for mentoring, they said.

Tinwald students took the idea much further with Dallas Richardson and McKinley Brown suggesting the entire domain could be shrouded in an Ashdome that

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 160519-SN-0016 would create a protected environment for all domain plant and animal life and for activities. And those activities, they said could include an adrenaline area, an underground playground and camping facilities both underground and in tree houses.

Ashburton College students William Wallace and Shane Crawford surveyed students across all years to find out how often the used the domain and what they would like to see in the domain of the future.

They found 50 per cent of students visited the domain less than once a week and many who used it used it only as an access way.

They wanted more challenging areas and activities for teenagers and they used the Bay of Plenty Adrenaline Forest as an example. The flying fox needed to be upgraded and relocated, the skatepark needed to be relocated into the domain and a cafe was needed on the Walnut Avenue –

West Street corner, they said.

The college students also suggested an amphitheatre for small performances, bands and simply as an area where teenagers could gather and they suggested a second hockey turf would boost options for hosting tournaments.

Their vision was for all activities to be clustered around the current playground and paddling pool area to create one multi-age recreational area.

Borough School students Scarlett Hanrahan and Kylana Peauafi Symonds were keen to see an underground playground created to add excitement to the younger children’s play area and they wanted a treehouse area included.

Also on their wishlist were inground trampolines, a zipline, a waterpark with an artwall, a maze, mini golf and a mobile outdoor movie theatre.

Wakanui School put a bike track around and through the domain

as top of their list with students Izacc Carr, Ella Rickard and Hannah Digby saying an air pillow and a splash pad would also be good additions. They were keen to have a water based adventure playground.

Mayfield students Emily Carr, Isabella Carr and Hannah Kidd put the case for an additional hockey turf and for a rugby goal post so kids could practice kicking goals.

They were also keen to see an advanced bike and scooter track, a dog park area and more picnic areas with tables and chairs.

A dog park got the tick from Rakaia’s first group of students Meg, Haymesh and Latham and they also wanted the flying fox fixed and relocated and a fitness track built, while the school’s second group of presenters were keen to see an agility space for dogs and for the bike and scooter track to be upgraded or a new one built that would cater to older children. Ace

and Tayla also wanted a suggestion box where people would leave ideas.

Hinds students Luiz Velasco and Isabella Taylor were keen to see solar lighting installed and they wanted a community vegetable garden and orchard and an all weather surface for casual ball games. They wanted the domain to become an eco-friendly place to ensure it was sustainable for future generations.

Leon Aiken Wheeler, Riki Philpott and Ian Eason from Netherby School suggested statues of famous people, colourful rubbish bins, an obstacle course and a white wall for outdoor movie screenings in summer. They also wanted the flying fox fixed and a smaller version created for younger children, The student presentations were made as the council is working on a development plan for the domain.

Students win back-to-back titles

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

They might only be a small group of students from a small rural school, but when it comes to literature, they pack a powerful punch.

Students from Mt Somers Springburn School have defended their regional title at the South Canterbury Lit Quiz competition, but will only have a short turnaround before they depart for the national competition in Wellington on May 26.

Heading to this year’s South Canterbury competition at Waihi School, Arlo Bruce, Jess Heaven, James Clark and Bronte Brown said they did not go into it expecting to defend their title.

“We weren’t trying to get our hopes up, we knew last year could’ve just been a fluke,” they said.

The quiz consists of 10 sets of 10 questions across a wide range of topics from animal rights to authors’ names.

After bombing out in the first round of questions, the team were down on confidence when

they saw they were well down the table at the halfway point in the competition.

However, after the break they went on a consistent roll of good scores, including in the final round about machines, which is what they chose to play their double points round on.

The team answered eight of the 10 questions correctly, securing them 16 points, and giving them the win by five points.

The win secures the team a spot at the national competition once again, but has left them with only a short time with which to raise funds to get them to Wellington.

“Last year we had a month before the competition so we were able to sell raffles and fundraise,” they said.

The group are now looking for sponsors to allow them to travel to Wellington for this year’s event, which is less than 10 days away.

Should the group win the national title, they will then qualify for the world championships, which are being held in Singapore this year.

The Mt Somers Springburn School Lit Quiz team that has won back-to-back titles are (from left) Jess Heaven, Arlo Bruce, James Clark and Bronte Brown.

An Ashburton building that has for many years been a local landmark, was this week recognised as one of the district’s buildings of historic significance.

Mill House was built in 1912 as home for the family of Derisley Wood, manager of the neighbouring Canterbury Roller Flour Mill.

The mill itself was established in 1873 and bought by the Wood brothers in 1900.

On Wednesday it was recognised by Heritage Mid Canterbury as a building of local historic value and a blue plaque acknowledging this was unveiled by Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel.

The blue plaques are a Heritage Mid Canterbury initiative. They give a short history of the historic building, informing locals and visitors about its particular historical significance. The idea aimed to increase the prominence of Ashburton’s historic buildings, encourage awareness of local history and support the retention of existing heritage assets. The idea was inspired by a simi-

Address

lar scheme in London.

Today Mill House is owned by Elizabeth and Richard Ashford and is used as a cafe and craft shop.

Mill House was the second manager’s house to be built on the site and originally featured a darkroom library, dining room, drawing room and study on the ground floor. Upstairs there were five bedrooms with two bedrooms for servants.

Native wood panelling was extensively used on the interior and the exterior is of vertical board and batten on the ground floor with stuccoed upper storey.

As part of recent earthquake strengthening, heavy Marseilles roof tiles were replaced with light corrugated iron roofing.

The Ashford family bought Mill House in 1970 and, as part of its second life, a craft shop was opened in 1981 and a cafe in 1986.

The house was designed by England brothers in the arts and crafts style. It was built by local builders J Smith and Son who also built the Ashburton Glassworks and the Church of the Holy Name.

NCEA review – good and bad

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A review of NCEA was long overdue, but some of the proposed changes could take education back around 40 years, Ashburton College principal Ross Preece says.

While he supported many of the proposed changes, he is concerned about a new literacy assessment standard that would be assessed externally.

The requirement to achieve a pass mark in this would be similar to the old school certificate exams where a pass in English was required to achieve the certificate, regardless of marks in other subjects, he said.

“Many schools with low literacy level kids will be worried about this. It may prove an impossible barrier, depending on the school and the kids, and for kids where English is a second language,” he said.

He is concerned the test would also disadvantage students who may be exceptional and achieved high marks in areas such as arts, maths or science but who were not strong in literacy and numeracy.

“This is the thing most principals will be concerned about; it’s fine if you have a school full of advantaged kids, but it’s going back to the high stakes, high anxiety situation – for staff, students and parents.”

Exam focused school certificate and the requirement to pass English created anxiety and the new assessment was likely to create the same anxiety. Today that anx-

iety would be more intense because so many students already had high anxiety levels, he said.

Preece applauded the government’s move to scrap NCEA fees saying that would be a significant advantage for cash-strapped families.

“I know of students who passed NCEA but didn’t get credits because their family didn’t have the money for the fee,” Preece said.

There was a remission fee that could be applied for but relied on families completing forms and filing these prior to exams.

There were wins for teachers in the change to having half of 20 credit subjects assessed internally and half externally because of reduced marking time, but for many students that could be quite negative, he said.

“External assessment is less reliable because you know the kids will be more anxious and we know that over the years with NZQA there have been some quite horrendous rogue exams.”

There were fish hooks as well as good and bad elements to the review, Preece said.

“Like all proposals, the devil with this will be in the detail.

We’re waiting for more information. We’ve been given a glossy 16 page report and while it’s well thought out, there are no timelines.

“We’ve got no problems with reviewing NCEA, it’s timely. What is worrying every principal is what barriers will this literacy assessment be to overall student achievement – and the nature of this assessment.”

Little change in groundwater data More than half the wells found to be above healthy nitrate levels in Canterbury are in the Ashburton district.

Twenty-two wells were identified by Environment Canterbury as having more than 11.3 mg/l nitrate nitrogen in its latest annual groundwater quality survey of 306 wells – 13 were in Mid Canterbury.

Public drinking water supplies are safe.

ECan groundwater science manager Carl Hanson said all wells with nitrate and E.coli above maximum acceptable values were private wells.

“Most are not used for drinking water. All these well owners have been notified. Some have installed filters if they are drinking the water. Others have

replaced the wells, but we still monitor old wells for our longterm trend analyses.”

Nitrate concentrations in groundwater are increasing due to the lag effect of many years of agricultural and other land uses.

The survey results show little change from previous years.

But Hanson said the data did show a reduction in the rate of increase and Canterbury now had some of the strictest landuse rules in New Zealand to protect the region’s water quality.

“Farmers must adhere to strict water quality limits, obtain consents to farm, and implement good management practices. Stock exclusion rules are in place. Fences and buffer strips are encouraged at the edges of rivers and streams to

Guardian ASHBURTON

prevent animal waste entering the water.

“All these steps will ensure that over time less nitrate will enter Canterbury’s water. This is taking time, but it is happening.”

He said people with private drinking wells should make sure their well is secure and water is tested periodically.

“In most cases, samples can be taken from a kitchen tap and sent to a lab for testing at your own expense.”

Farmers in Mid Canterbury have shown their support recently for a managed aquifer recharge (MAR) project that, combined with their on-farm mitigation, will help improve groundwater quality.

In brief Jury at impasse After three days of deliberations a jury has been unable to reach verdicts in the trial of an Auckland school teacher accused of committing an indecent act on seven boys. Benjamin Swann was on trial in the High Court at Auckland, accused of 11 charges of doing an indecent act. Standing silently in the dock, with a metallic silver fern pinned to the left lapel of his blazer, Swann listened as the jury told him they had reached an impasse on all of the allegations he has vehemently denied. Swann, was remanded on bail and will appear in court again next month as the Crown decides whether to seek a retrial.

plains could be developed to feed clean water into soakage pits that feed underground aquifers. Trial sites over the past two years have shown nitrate concentrations in surrounding wells have decreased.

Without MAR, farmers will have to scale back their operations to meet environmental targets – there would need to be a 30 per cent reduction in the dairy platform, a 30 per cent reduction in dairy support and a 30 per cent reduction in small seed production.

MAR spokesman Peter Lowe said farmers had shown their support for the project, which was a “no-brainer”.

“It is one of the tools to improve groundwater. We just need to keep making progress.”

A former refugee who was brutally attacked by a stranger while walking home in West Auckland feels like her case has fallen through the cracks. Sri Lanka-born Chandra Yogeswaran was violently mugged while walking home from a New Lynn train station on April 17. Another woman punched her in the head twice. While she lay on the ground her handbag was snatched from her. Strangers helped Yogeswaran after the attack and she gave a statement to police who she said identified the suspect immediately. But on April 30, when she contacted a police officer for an update on the case, she received a response she said was unhelpful. “The way police behaved was unsatisfactory,” Yogeswaran said. Police deny that any mistake was made with her case.

■■VARIETY THEATRE ASHBURTON

A fun, high energy show Mid Canterbury audiences will be rejoicing in the musical power of Sister Act when the Variety Theatre Ashburton production opens at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on May 24.

As disco diva Deloris Van Cartier, played by Sharleyne Diamond, hides from her murderer ex-boyfriend Curtis, played by Matt Williams, an exciting and hilarious storyline unfolds. Here the Guardian profiles some of the leading duo’s fellow cast members.

Matt Deavoll – travel agent, plays Eddie.

What do you like about playing this character?

I like playing the nice guy. Eddie is such a sweet, caring guy, you just want him to do well.

Are there any similarities between yourself and this character?

Definitely some similarities. Like Eddie, I struggle with confidence sometimes and share his awkwardness as well.

What have been the highlights and lowlights, challenges and achievements, of rehearsals so far?

Sister Act is my first show on stage with Variety Theatre Ashburton, so a highlight has definitely been working with the amazing production team and learning from them.

My biggest challenge so far has been singing and dancing at the same time and remembering to breathe. I am getting there though!

What are you looking forward to most about bringing Sister Act to the stage?

Sister Act is such a fun, high energy show. I am most looking forward to seeing everyone’s talent and hard work come to life on stage.

Tackling the technology challenge

ECan declares climate emergency Environment Canterbury (ECan) has declared a climate emergency, highlighting both the urgent need to address the issue, and the work already being done to help the region respond.

The motion was approved at an ECan council meeting on Thursday morning.

“Climate change presents significant challenges, risks and opportunities to Canterbury and we’ve long acknowledged the urgent need to address climate change for the benefit of current and future generation,” ECan deputy chair Peter Scott said.

“The council’s role is to support the region and its communities to better understand and proactively respond.

“We have no doubt at council

that urgency is required – the science is irrefutable and we have, for some time now, been responding accordingly”.

In making the declaration, the council noted it already demonstrated climate change leadership, including establishment of the Climate Change Integration programme; incorporation of climate change considerations into all council’s work programmes and decisions; working with regional partners to ensure a collaborative response; advocating and engaging with central government; and leading by example in reducing its emissions.

An attachment in the council’s meeting papers provided more detail of that ongoing and

planned climate change focused work.

There are no additional immediate financial implications for ratepayers associated with yesterday’s decision, Peter Scott said.

An increasing number of governments around the world have recognised a “climate emergency” in some form, including the UK and Welsh parliaments, and a large number of local governments in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.

“There will inevitably be those who say we are still not doing enough. I’d encourage those people to find out more about the wide range of work we, the territorial authorities, and cen-

tral government are already doing, and what is planned before they draw that conclusion,” Scott said.

“Extinction Rebellion asked us to declare a ‘climate emergency’ and, after debate and careful consideration, that is what we have done. We are not at odds with Extinction Rebellion’s desire to see people sit up and take urgent notice and urgent action.

Our declaration today confirms that.”

ECan chairman Steve Lowndes is an ordinary member of Extinction Rebellion and as such declared an interest and did not take part in the council decision.

ECan councillors John Sunckell and Clare McKay voted against the motion.

Technology does not have be intimidating or challenging, and the members of Senior Net Ashburton are hoping to get that message across when they host their open day on May 29.

“There are two camps, those who relish technology and its benefits, and those who shun its features,” organiser John Burn said.

“We wish to challenge those who are not so sure of technology and computers to attend our open day.”

The open day will include a talk from guest speaker Grant Sidaway, who has been executive officer of Senior Net for the past 27 years, in his last visit to the town before he retires from the role.

“He is a very dynamic speaker and we do get a few people that show up just to listen to him speak,” Burn said.

Refreshments will follow the talk, along with a chance to browse various technological displays.

“We could not drive a car with perfection the first time behind the steering wheel, or even make a prizewinning sponge the first time. Learning to use technology and computers is the same,” he said.

“A little at a time and soon there is a confidence and desire to learn more.’

The open day is being held at the Ashburton MSA, beginning at 1.30pm on May 29.

■■HEALTH

Measles outbreak over in Canterbury NZME Health officials have declared the measles outbreak officially over in the Canterbury region but are warning the disease is still only a plane ride away.

“While it’s great we can declare Canterbury’s measles outbreak officially over, the reality is that measles is only a plane ride away,” Canterbury medical officer of health Dr Ramon Pink said.

Cases are still being reported in Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Lakes, Northland, Wellington and Waikato DHB areas.

Pink said all of these cases have come from travellers bringing the disease from overseas.

“Measles is running rampant in several countries right now – the number of new cases worldwide rose by 300 per cent during the first three months of 2019.

“Measles is an ever present threat and the only way we can stop measles from returning is to increase immunity in our community,” Pink said.

Measles is a highly infectious and potentially deadly viral disease that can spread quickly and easily through breathing, sneezing and coughing.

People who are not immune to measles can catch the disease just by being in the same room as someone who has it.

Pink said people from right across the Canterbury Health System have worked tirelessly over the past three months to put the lid on this outbreak.

“There’s been a huge response from primary care, labs, Christchurch Hospital as well as public health action in contact tracing and case management.

“Cantabrians have responded extremely well themselves, and I’d like to thank them for taking

NZME

this outbreak so seriously, adhering to our advice and getting vaccinated.”

He said although the region had achieved a great result, increasing the immunity of the community was still needed to minimise the impact of another measles outbreak.

Another 20 New Zealanders contracted measles last week, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 135 so far this year.

In Canterbury, there have been 38 cases confirmed this year. In Auckland there have been 53.

Health professionals continue to urge people to ensure they are

up to date with their MMR vaccines in order to protect themselves against the disease.

Children should routinely receive the MMR vaccine at 15 months and 4 years old. In an outbreak, this timing may change.

Anyone who has not had two documented doses of MMR vaccine is eligible for free vaccines.

Once a person contracts measles, it can be 10 to 14 days before they begin seeing symptoms.

Such symptoms include a high fever, runny nose, cough and sore red eyes. A few days later a rash starts on the face and neck, and then spreads to the rest of

the body.

People born before January 1, 1969, are considered to be immune because virtually everyone got measles prior to the vaccine being introduced that year, and so this older age group does not need the measles immunisation.

It is particularly important to check your immunity if you are planning an overseas trip.

The Ministry of Health recently highlighted that since 2012, all outbreaks of measles in New Zealand were started by travellers bringing the disease from overseas. There are currently significant measles outbreaks in many countries.

Two house fires in 24 hours in Mid Canty

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Two houses in the Ashburton District have been damaged by fires in less than 24 hours.

The first fire, which was first reported at around 2.10pm in the Hatfield area on Wednesday, was responded to by crews from Ashburton, Rakaia, Pendarves and Lauriston.

A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said the house on Hatfield Overdale Road was well ablaze when fire crews arrived.

At around 4pm they still had seven crews on scene who had brought the fire under control and were extinguishing the last of the fire, he said.

Christchurch Muslims welcome Call to Action

Fire risk management officer Bevan Findlay said they were still unsure of the cause of the fire, but they believed it was not suspicious.

Firefighters were called to the second fire at a Cambridge Street address at around 10am on Thursday morning.

Findlay said he was yet to determine the cause of the blaze, but said that it was believed to be suspicious in nature.

On Thursday afternoon a fire investigator’s truck and a police car could still be seen outside of the property, while police emergency tape was placed along the length of the front fence.

The Rakaia Fire Brigade were also called to a house in Hatfield

last week on Thursday at around 6.45pm after reports of a chimney fire, deputy chief Fred Clarkson said.

“It was out on arrival so we did our checks to make sure everything was safe and just to reassure the owners,” he said.

“It is well worth people getting their chimneys checked to make sure they are clean.

“These guys told us when we were there that they hadn’t had it cleaned in 18 months.”

These house fire comes less than a month after a house was destroyed by fire in Chertsey.

On the evening of April 22 crews were called to the Chertsey property which was destroyed by a fire that was believed to have

been started by a scented candle.

A man had lit the candle in the house after returning from a trip away, and had left it unattended while taking the dog for a walk.

Upon returning, he discovered the house on fire.

“The homeowner has done the right thing straight away by calling 111, but he has then gone inside to attempt to find their wedding dress and rescue the cat, which is a big no-no,” Findlay said. “By the time he had gotten back out of the house the whole place was fully ablaze.

“So the big two lessons from this are – do not leave candles unattended and do not ever go back inside a building that is on fire.”

Christchurch Muslims welcomed the Christchurch Call to Action, which bids to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online.

Seventeen countries, the European Commission, and eight major tech companies have signed up to the accord.

“The achievement is significant,” said Muslim Association of Canterbury spokesman Anthony Green.

“It won’t wipe out the emotion that drives these things, but if it helps to remove the platform, then that is to be welcomed.”

But in a blow to the strength of the mandate, the United States has chosen not to sign despite extensive diplomatic efforts and the fact that a representative was in Paris at a parallel meeting of G7 digital ministers.

The call is still an unprecedented agreement between governments and all the major tech companies for ongoing collaboration to make the internet safer.

However, the White House will not sign the agreement amid US concerns that it clashes with constitutional protections for free speech.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern noted the United States’ support for the call’s principles.

The US reluctance to sign up was in part mitigated by the commitments of the tech companies that are mainly based there, she said.

Dialogue with the US was ongoing, she added.

Speaking as an individual, Green was disappointed that the United States refused to sign up to the agreement.

“American people should start to reflect seriously on the status of America as a significant outlier on so many issues ... and it should be a significant concern to us all,” he said.

The Christchurch Call is the culmination of weeks of intensive work across many government departments, involving thousands of officials to draw up the document and garner global support just two months after the terror attack.

While it is a voluntary framework, it has been given additional heft after an endorsement from 55 investor funds that will use its $5 trillion in assets to push the tech companies to follow through on their pledges.

And five major tech companies have released a series of commitments, including regular publishing of transparency reports about detecting and removing terrorist or violent extremist content on their online platforms, to strengthen the Call to Action.

They also agreed to establish incident management teams to urgently respond to objectionable content.

■■AUSTRALIA

China looms large NZME In a recent online discussion, Bill Shorten, the front-runner in the race to be Australia’s next prime minister, left little doubt about where he stood on the politically delicate issue of relations with China – and where the world’s other superpower fits into his reasoning.

“If I’m PM, I welcome the rise of China in the world,” he said in a post on Chinese social media platform WeChat that was aimed at Australia’s 1.2 million voters of Chinese descent.

Shorten, leader of the Labor Party, added that he saw China not as a “strategic threat,” but as a “strategic opportunity”.

Those words put him directly at odds with the Trump Administration, which has sounded alarms about China’s global ambitions and tactics.

But Shorten, while acknowledging that Australia would always be an ally of the United States, declared that it was time for his nation “to stand on its own feet and think for itself”.

If Shorten’s party prevails in Saturday’s election, his embrace of China would represent a significant break from the current conservative Australian Government, which has taken a harder line toward Beijing’s growing influence in the country and whose leader, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, is an avowed admirer of US President Donald Trump.

It could also signify a crack in the united front that the Trump Administration is trying to build to check China’s ascent.

For Shorten, the calculation may be largely about economics.

The Labor leader, whose campaign has promised significant spending to bolster public health programmes, education and wages, is hoping that improved relations with China, Australia’s biggest trading

Jeremy Kyle cancelled TVNZ has followed suit in cancelling The Jeremy Kyle Show after the death of a guest. The talk show was permanently cancelled in the UK yesterday after a distraught guest was found dead after being humiliated by a lie detector test on the show. When news of the death originally broke, TVNZ said it still planned to air future episodes delivered and approved for broadcast by ITV. However now, the broadcaster has cancelled the show and is removing all previous episodes from TVNZ OnDemand, effective immediately.

Bill Shorten sees China as a strategic opportunity. partner, will keep the economy growing.

Morrison, whose conservative coalition has narrowed the gap with Shorten’s Labor Party in polls but is still trailing, has focused his election message on the notion that Labor’s spending plans would send the economy into a recession.

That is a frightening prospect to Australians who have known only economic expansion for a generation.

But critics fear that any softening towards China could have much broader ramifications, putting pressure on Australia, for instance, to roll back its clampdown on foreign interference or to keep silent on Chinese human rights abuses.

Morrison’s warier stance on China was crystallised by remarks he made this week when

asked about the protracted trade war between Washington and Beijing.

He said that he would not pick sides, saying, “You stand by your friends, and you stand by your customers as well.”

The Prime Minister’s branding of China as a “customer” drew derision from Shorten, who promised “a bit more sophistication” in handling ties between the countries. For decades, Australia’s economy has been buoyed by the export of natural resources to China, as well as money from Chinese students, tourists and investors.

It’s clear which leader Chinese officials prefer: Social media accounts on WeChat affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party have mocked Morrison and his Government.

One account disparaged “a country whose head has been

kicked hard by kangaroos” and now wanted to be friends again after a rough patch.

Regardless of who wins the election, Australia will continue to face questions over how it balances the economic necessity of co-operating with China with the imperative of protecting its national security interests. Australia is also grappling with its place in the region, as China seeks to expand its economic and military power.

The relationship between the two countries has grown strained in recent years as the Australian Government, heeding warnings from national security leaders, has pushed back against Beijing’s attempts to expand its reach within the country’s corporations, universities and national institutions, including Parliament.

The end for Britney?

Britney Spears may never perform again, according to her manager. The Piece Of Me hitmaker’s longtime manager, Larry Rudolph, has claimed that it will be a long time until the singer – who recently completed a 30 day stint at an unnamed facility after she became distraught over her father Jamie’s ongoing health battle, ever sets foot on a stage again, and possibly never. “As the person who guides her career – based on the information I and all of the professionals who work with her are being told on a need-to-know basis – from what I have gathered it’s clear to me she should not be going back to do this Vegas residency, not in the near future and possibly never again.”

Baby ripped from murdered woman’s womb NZME

Marlen Ochoa-Uriostegui

Police in Chicago suspect a young woman had her baby ripped from her womb when she was murdered.

Authorities believe a woman lured the expectant mother to her home where she killed her and cut her child out of her body. The body was found in a rubbish bin on early Wednesday in the backyard of the home.

The pregnant woman has been identified as Marlen Ochoa-Uriostegui, who had been reported missing three weeks ago. Ochoa-Uriostegui was strangled to death and authorities are now treating her death as a homicide.

Sources told local media that charges will be laid against a 46-year-old woman

who reportedly met the pregnant woman on Facebook. The suspect reportedly lured Ochoa-Uriostegui to her home by offering her baby clothes for her unborn son.

In the hours after the pregnant woman was last seen, on April 23, the other woman called 911 saying she had given birth to a boy inside the home.

She told the 911 operator she was suffering “post-delivery issues”.

The baby is currently in hospital in “grave condition”, according to sources close to the family.

Shortly after calling 911, the 46-year-old suspect set up a GoFundMe online campaign to raise $9000 for her baby’s funeral, claiming the boy was sick and about to die.

The new Brian Tamaki?

The Hits’ drive team has weighed in on Israel Folau’s next career move, jokingly wondering if he might be New Zealand’s next Brian Tamaki. Hits hosts Stacey Morrison and Mike Puru were joined by regular recurring guest Anika Moa on Wednesday’s show, and discussed Folau’s controversial statements that homosexual people were destined to go to hell. Anika mused: “His career may be over or may not be, I’m not sure ... but he’s just gonna make a great evangelical, quite frankly.

He’s gonna move onto evangelism, and they make way more money than league players – Brian Tamaki anyone?”

Illuminate

your home

By Louise Richardson NZME

With daylight saving now just a memory and cold, dull, winter days lying ahead, this is a good time to look at the lighting in your home and ask yourself whether you’re getting maximum effect, in terms of illumination and ambience.

In lighting as in so many other parts of life today, technology is bringing huge changes. While he didn’t actually invent electric light, Thomas Edison certainly did come up with the first viable, relatively long-lasting lightbulbs and today’s innovators continue to improve upon his discoveries.

Jake Henderson is an Auckland lighting designer at Firefly Light and Design in Devonport. He says that while some clients want all the smart features, such as the ability to turn lights on and close blinds via a smartphone app on the way home from work, others require a more simple strategy.

“There are so many options now — you just say what you need and we can make it happen.”

In terms of new advances, Henderson says that LED lighting is among the most exciting. “What can be achieved is honestly only limited by your imagination,” he says. “There’s even LED illuminated wallpaper, which I think is pretty amazing.”

LED (light-emitting diode) has been developed as an efficient, energysaving alternative to traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs. LED bulbs last for over 50,000 hours, using around 85 per cent less electricity, which is quite a staggering difference.

LED lighting is now playing a big part in homes, integrated with other modern technology, including heating and security as well as state-of-the-art sound systems.

What’s more, operating these systems is no longer a case of flicking a switch.

These days, wireless lighting keypads are a style statement in themselves, coming in a range of colours and finishes, including matte and gloss.

The kitchen generally has the most comprehensive needs in terms of lighting and it goes without saying that

task lighting is an integral element of your plan. You’ll probably find yourself using a combination of light sources, perhaps with a spectacular pendant as the main focal point, track lighting over the bench and island then soft, undercabinet lighting to create atmosphere.

If you have cabinets with clear glass doors, or even open shelving for displaying attractive items such as glassware or crockery, consider installing lights above to illuminate your treasures. LED strip lighting is ideal for this purpose.

In the bathroom, there are lots of new options to consider and the days of a bare bulb hanging on a wire, from the ceiling, are well and truly over. Again, allowing for task lighting is your key to design success.

Shaving, cleaning your teeth and applying makeup and even putting contact lenses in, then taking them out, are all activities that require good lighting. Sconces either side of the mirror are one option, or lighting fixed to the wall above it can work well. You don’t want directly overhead lighting in this situation because it will probably be too harsh. LED strip lighting can be very effective in bathrooms too and an emerging trend is to set up-lights into the floor around the bath to illuminate it.

Always make sure that the lights in your bathroom can be dimmed

according to the occasion.

Bedrooms also need multiple light sources — especially mood lighting, and a mix of central light, bedside lamps and even floor lamps can be used in varied ways for different times of the day or even the year. A popular alternative to stand-alone bedside lamps at present, is to have a pendant light hanging above each bedside table.

Because we expect such versatility from our living areas these days there are many possible combinations when it comes to lighting and it very much depends on the style of home you live in, the amount of space you have to light up and even the age and stage of your family. In new homes, simple downlights can be sufficient for basic lighting while standing lights, wall sconces and even lights to highlight artwork, all combine to bring about a pleasant atmosphere.

In terms of materials trends in the lighting market, Jake Henderson says that while an industrial vibe is still popular with home owners, the edges have softened somewhat.

“We’re seeing a lot of organic materials such as leather, cane and even crocheted shades, which are all textures of nature. Raw metals like brass and copper are also coming through.”

Henderson says that the range of lighting that’s available these days is so extensive people can feel a bit

overwhelmed. “That’s why lighting designers help them make the right choices and work closely with clients, finding out exactly what they need for their own home in terms of task lighting and overall effect.”

Top lighting tips: 1. Lighting should be an early consideration when building or renovating, to allow space and access for the fittings you choose.

2. Gather ideas from other homes, shops and cafes, which often have innovative lighting schemes.

3. LED strip lighting on the floor between the bedroom and ensuite can make toilet trips safer at night.

4. Don’t forget garden lighting in winter because even bare trees have their own special beauty when they’re illuminated.

6. There are strict rules around bathroom lighting, in regard to safety, so always employ an electrician familiar with them.

7. Use ambient light rather than harsh overhead light in TV rooms and home offices to offset glare.

8. Use colourful lampshades to add pizazz to a dull corner.

9. Nothing looks better than a strong, statement light source above your dining table.

Heat Pumps

buying guide

By Louise Richardson NZME

It’s important to take the size of the area to be heated into account when choosing a heat pump because you need to install the correct-size unit for best results.

Daylight saving and summer skies are just a distant memory now and winter’s stealing in with its icy blasts and cool, damp conditions so this is a good time to make sure that your home is comfortable and cosy, if you haven’t already done so.

Most of us know by now that unflued gas heaters cause condensation and pose health and fire risks.

Electric bar and fan heaters often use large amounts of electricity to heat a relatively small space and open fireplaces are now banned or discouraged in most regions.

More homeowners are tending towards installing heat pumps for the simple reason that they’ve been firmly proven to be very effective and energyefficient.

Interestingly, the idea of heat pumps has been around for nearly 200 years as a scientific concept — based upon the fact that heat energy naturally transfers from warm to cold places, but it wasn’t until the mid-twentieth

century that serious production began.

Essentially, heat pumps work by reversing that natural process of thermal energy movement. They take air from outside the property, then push it back in. In engineering terms it’s a bit like a fridge — but in reverse, and two coils — one internal and one at the exterior of your home, draw warmth from outside and transfer it to the space you’re heating.

It’s important to take the size of the area to be heated into account when choosing a heat pump because you need to install the correct-size unit for best results. ECCA and Consumer both offer expert independent advice, making it easy to do your homework, before approaching a salesperson, whose suggestions might not be impartial. EECA’s star rating system is another helpful tool at your disposal.

You’ll need to ensure that the size and capacity of the heat pump is appropriate for the local climate too.

What’s adequate in Auckland may not work nearly as well in Invercargill.

The trick to making the most of your heat pump lies in learning how to use it properly and use all of its features — including the timer to regulate the heating or cooling functions easily, rather than leaving it going all day when you’re not there.

Before you have a heat pump installed it’s wise to check that you have sufficient levels of insulation in the ceiling above and the floor below it.

The heat that’s generated will leave a room quickly if there are ways for it to escape, thus diminishing the heat pump’s effectiveness. This in turn means more energy will be used and therefore running costs will rise.

According to ECCA, single split systems are the most common heat pumps in New Zealand, with one unit inside and another outside. As a rule this is sufficient for a single room, but if you choose a multi-split system with more than one indoor unit connected to a single unit outside, you’ll be able to heat more than one room.

If you want your heat pump to provide warmth throughout all of your home a ducted system might be what you need. There’s still the one outdoor unit but there are also ducting tubes, which distribute the heat to multiple rooms.

In terms of cost, heat pumps can appear to be rather pricey, especially once you get into ducted systems but it’s important to weigh up the benefits you’ll be getting and the overall savings you’ll make, in the form of significantly lower power bills.

A wall-mounted single system to heat one small room should start around

the $2000 mark, including installation, going up to around $2500 for a larger space. If you have an open-plan home with a combined kitchen, dining and living area you’ll need a more powerful unit and could be looking at somewhere between $3000 and $4500.

Depending on the size of your house and the number of rooms you want to heat, the price of a ducted heat pump system could be around $10,000, but as with everything, it makes sense to shop around and get several quotes to compare.

One of the best things about modern heat pumps, apart from the fact they’re no longer noisy, is that they are built to last and the technology that’s used is relatively simple so there’s not much that can go wrong.

Most come with a five-year guarantee but you can reasonably expect them to last many years longer.

While early versions of the interior unit were a bit large and clunky, these days modern units are perfectly streamlined, sleek and stylish and blend effortlessly into your decor. And don’t forget that a heat pump can also be used to keep it cool in summer.

One last thing to remember is that it’s vital to keep your heat pump’s filters clean for optimum performance all through the year.

New Hiace van the sexiest yet T

he van. Not usually one to raise a pulse but with the new Hiace, we think Toyota might have cracked it.

It’s the smartest, safest and — dare we say it — sexiest Hiace yet. Redesigned top to bottom, this is the van of your dreams. Assuming of course, dreams about vans are your kind of thing.

Thanks to its Euro 5 four-cylinder 2.8-litre 1GD turbo-diesel engine with stop & start function, the New Hiace offers improved fuel economy and onroad performance across the five-model range. The Hiace ZR 2-seat automatic van’s highly efficient common-rail turbocharged engine and six-speed automatic transmission delivers 130 kilowatts of power (up by 30kW), and 450 Newton metres of torque (up 150Nm).

Combined fuel economy for the New Hiace ZR automatic is 8.2/100km which is a 0.5/100km improvement on the previous model.

The exterior of the Hiace ZR automatic is longer, wider, and taller than before, which means it now offers 6.2 cubic metres of cargo carrying capacity. The load floor length is 2745mm, load width is 1775mm and the load height is 1315mm. The cargo area is also designed to allow the easy fitting of racking or other modification, and it provides six-tie down points on the floor. The Hiace ZR automatic has a towing capacity of 1500kg and the manual 1900kg with a braked trailer, and a maximum payload of 1030kg.

Toyota Safety Sense is fitted as standard across the new Hiace range, and it features pre-collision system with autonomous Emergency Braking (PCS with AEB), as well as vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle detection functions. Lane departure alert (LDA) with brake control will help the driver maintain lane discipline, while road sign assist (RSA) and automatic high beam (AHB) allow you to focus on the road ahead. The Hiace ZR 2-seat automatic has a 7-airbag system including driver and passenger front airbag, seat side airbag, driver’s knee airbag, and front curtain shield airbag.

Trailer sway control (TSC) is also fitted as standard to all new Hiace models; and provides you with higher levels of safety and confidence when taking to the road with a loaded trailer hitched to the vehicle.

Larger commercial vehicles undoubtedly suffer a few panel bumps and bruises in their everyday working life, but Toyota has gone to great lengths to mitigate parking damage when manoeuvring the new Hiace ZR2-seat automatic in narrow streets and loading bays.

Each Hiace is fitted as standard with parking sensors in the front and rear bumpers, a blind spot monitoring system (BSM), a reversing camera, and rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) which will alert you about oncoming traffic when trying to reverse the vehicle from a driveway or a building entrance. The new Hiace ZR 2-seat automatic is also equipped

with power folding mirrors, to prevent possible damage when you are parking the vehicle in narrow streets or when you are manoeuvring inside a building.

So there you have it, Toyota has

completely redesigned the sixthgeneration new Hiace to meet the needs of the widest group of customers yet, who are seeking a safe, well-engineered, efficient, comfortable and trusted workhorse.

ollowing the highly anticipated introduction of the new X 350 d 4MATIC flagship X-Class model in December last year, the anticipation now rises to an even higher level.

In July 2019, an Edition 1 X 350 d 4MATIC variant will be released with only a limited number available.

By emphasising the bold aspects of the exterior with exclusive black design features and accessory parts, this model pushes the boundaries of the classic dual cab ute even further.

It complements the strengths of a dual cab ute with the unique style characteristics of a limited edition MercedesBenz.

The Edition 1 standard metallic paint will be available in three different colours, kabara black, bering white or rock grey.

However when it comes to the exterior parts, black is the order of the day: boasting a black centrally positioned star and twin-louvre radiator grill, front and rear bumper-bar valance, fog light surrounds, side door handles, rear tailgate handle, nomenclature badges, beltline trim strip, roof rails and 19-inch 6-twin-spoke alloy wheels.

As a first for X-Class sports stripes adorn the engine bonnet, side mirrors, V6 badge surrounds, lower side lines and rear tailgate.

In kabara black, all exterior parts and stripes are a high gloss finish, with the sports stripes appearing in grey for contrasting impact.

The black styling bar and tubed side steps give the Edition 1 an even sportier and more progressive character.

The Edition 1 is based on the X 350 d POWER variant, meaning dynamic driving pleasure continues to be ensured thanks to the 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine with an output of 190 kW/550 Nm and the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive system with low range reduction gear.

Acadia the adventurer W

here have you driven it, is a frequently asked question.

Well for the Holden’s flagship family vehicle the Acadia LTZ-V, how about firstly north of Auckland around the Kaipara Harbour hinterland.

Then secondly about Mid-Canterbury, but most recently, the Chatham Island.

How come the Chathams?

Holden decided to celebrate the 65th birthday of the brand in New Zealand by marking this with an audacious world-first by being the first automotive marque to stage an event on the Island.

“It is claimed the Chatham Islands rose from the sea 65 million years ago, so there is a great synergy with 2019 being the year Holden celebrates its 65th anniversary in New Zealand,” said Managing Director, Marc Ebolo.

With a strong desire to make a real statement of the direction the company is heading in the future, it shipped Trax, Equinox, Trailblazer, Acadia SUVs and a Commodore Tourer to the Island, where the roads are predominatly shingle, twist and turn, rise and fall around the coastline.

We also drove on farm tracks, accross peaty paddocks and along beaches.

An unlikely environment you may think for this large, born in the US of A, Acadia with its Interstate capability.

Lets see!

The Acadia range starts at $49,990 for the front drive LT progressing through to this $71,990 LTZ-V. All models use the same 3.6-litre petrol V6 (as do the all-wheel-drive Commodores).

It responds quickly and produces 231kW and 367Nm, which, in connection with the pro-active, smart changing 9-speed auto, makes it rather quick.

For example – from standstill to 100kmh can happen in just over 7 seconds.

A bit irrelevant for Chatham Islands driving though, for the speed limit is 80kmh.

But then it can be impressively frugal with the claimed 9.3L/100km (and better) achieved.

No doubt the engine’s ability to deactivate two cylinders on the likes of flat open road cruising (on the mainland) when its ticking over at just 1500rpm at 100km/h assists greatly there.

Also the idle stop/go helps out.

Plus there’s selectable modes for different driving conditions including constant, rather than on-demand all-wheel-drive, performance and towing.

While constant all-wheel-drive, with its also adjustable torque split front/rear was selected for driving on the Island, the adaptive mode, with mainly front-wheeldrive was fine for most driving done on both the Mainland, and the North Island.

The Acadia showed its ability to lap up long distances in a very quiet and stressfree manner, yet was then equally well able to translate this to island driving.

Its hunkered down, firmy attached to the road looks neatly reflected its road manners, both on SH1 and then on secondary roads/tracks driven.

Irrespective of how many were aboard the ride was plush but still suitably firm, thanks to the Anzac involvement in the development of both the handling and ride factors.

As well the obvious benefits of the LTZV’s adjustable, adaptive suspension were very noticeable.

All of which resulted in an excellent mix of precise, predictable handling (you can enjoy pushing it through corners) combined with excellent comfort, even over those rough surfaces.

I decided that ‘easy’ was an appropriate

HOLDEN ACADIA LTZ-V

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

description for the cabin.

Firstly because it’s certainly that for all seven to get on board and comfortably set up in the leather furnished cabin.

Then very easy to sit back and enjoy the comfort, space and conveniences on board.

For the driver there’s plenty of adjustment, while the dials and controls are where and how you expect them to be.

There’s an impressive line-up of technology aboard including an excellent infotainment system, a 360degree camera (very handy for both parking and lining up towable stuff) radar cruise, speed sign memory, AEB, cyclist detection, blind spot active steering, park assist, rear cross traffic alerts and more.

No head-up display though.

The second row slides back and forth and those sitting there-in have separate climate-air controls and dual USB ports.

With many third row seats you sometimes feel there’s a class system as you migrate from the front to centre to back.

Well that’s definitely not so here for the two third row seats are large and comfortable with plenty of space all-round for my 179cm build.

Great view out as well!

Then with all seats occupied, there’s still reasonable space for luggage to be loaded via the powered tail-gate.

With the third row folded, there’s a great 1042 litres of space available.

FINALE While being a family friendly, very spacious, excellent long-distance capable SUV with lots of technology and safety features, the Acadia is also well set up for those with a more adventurous needs. It certainly showed its capable off venturing off the road and into less accessible parts of greater NZ. The Acadia is pictured on the Island with an 1870’s stone cottage built by German Moravian missionaries Baucke and Engst in the background. The cottage, which sits close to the imposing Maunganui Bluff, is listed by Heritage NZ as a Category 1 building. While there’s no road access, nor electricity, it is occupied by a delightful lady, Helen Bint, who lives alone in this cottage where she spent part of her childhood.

Speaking of birthdays, the Convair in which we flew to the Chatham Islands started life as a 340-42A in 1953 – the year before Holden arrived in NZ. It was converted to a Jet-Prop 580 in 1969 and has been with Air Chathams since 1996.

Power. Lots of power.

T he British premium car manufacturer MINI presents what is by some measure the most powerful models ever approved for public road use in the brand’s sixty year history.

The 225 kW/306 hp 4-cylinder turbo engine in the new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman (fuel consumption combined: 7.4 – 7.1 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 169 – 161 g/km) and the new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman (fuel consumption combined: 7.3 – 6.9 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 166 –156 g/km) both display outstanding performance in the compact premium segment.

In both models, the extraordinarily-powerful engine is combined as standard with a new 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission, including mechanical differential lock on the front axle, an ALL4 all-wheel drive system, a specifically engineered chassis, and additional reinforcement modifications for the body structure, engine connection and chassis fastenings.

This enables the John Cooper Works racing sensation to attain a completely new dimension of performance.

In these brand new versions of the two top sports models, both the individual six door model with its extreme driving fun and the robust all- rounder provide a challenging performance experience.

The latest generation of the 4-cylinder engine developed for the John Cooper Works models with MINI TwinPower

Turbo technology surpasses that of the previous drive by as much as 55 kW/75 hp at maximum output.

Maximum torque has increased by 100 Nm to 450 Nm, and acceleration performance has also risen commensurately.

The new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman turns in an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, with the new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman achieving the same in 5.1 seconds – 1.4 and 1.5 seconds faster than in the respective previous models.

The elasticity of the two models has never been as impressive as it is now.

With the concentrated power of their new engine and its optimised ability to transfer its output onto either a road surface or loose terrain, the new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman and the new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman have assured their places in the leading line-up of sport models in the compact segment.

And within the MINI model range, these two top athletes have never been more deserving of their top positions.

Compared to the MINI Cooper S Clubman and the MINI Cooper S Countryman, output has risen from its previous level of 29 kW/39 hp to 84 kW/114 hp.

The resulting superior performance characteristics are accompanied by a range of model-specific design and equipment features that successfully underline the exclusive and rarefied nature of these two John Cooper Works models.

OUR VIEW

Ideas of youth can inspire hearts, minds I

f you want to know how the future should look, ask someone under 20.

They’re the people with the vision, the ideas and the ability to think unfettered thoughts. Life hasn’t taught them caution, it hasn’t dampened belief in their ability to make things happen and it hasn’t taught them to find the reasons to say no to an idea.

Yesterday Ashburton’s district councillors were treated to some visionary thinking by some inspirational young people as students from 10 of the district’s schools shared their thoughts and the thoughts of their school mates on the changes that were needed in the Ashburton Domain.

The council set the challenge – how should our domain look in 50 years time – and the students responded.

They looked at what we have,

looked at what was missing and simply opened their minds to what was needed. But they did far more than that. Virtually every presentation, every suggestion, was backed up with facts and often, figures.

Those students came to the council table armed with well-researched, well-reasoned arguments for improvements that would take our domain from staid, but beautiful, into something that people travelled to enjoy, that provided activities they wanted to participate in.

Yes, many of the ideas were bold, some were expensive, oth-

ers quite simple but all had merit and all demonstrated that the kids in our schools have imagination and vision in spades.

One group really pushed the boundaries, suggesting a dome should be built over the entire domain, with all activities contained within this, creating a unique environment. Another suggested a greenhouse that could become a community hub where people worked with plants, mentored one another and where the facility itself became a living classroom.

They wanted the flying fox moved, upgraded and a mini-fox built nearby for younger children, the skatepark relocated – or a new one built – in the domain in a highly visible spot and they wanted challenging physical activity areas for teenagers. And while our version of Rotorua’s Adrenaline Park might be a big

In 1987, 37 American sailors were killed when an Iraqi warplane attacked the US Navy frigate Stark in the Persian Gulf.

In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed a measure requiring neighbourhood notification when sex offenders move in.

In 2002, former President Jimmy Carter ended a historic visit to Cuba sharply at odds with the Bush administration over how to deal with Fidel Castro, saying limits on tourism and trade often hurt Americans more than Cubans.

In 2017, Pvt. Chelsea Manning, the soldier who was sentenced to 35 years in a military prison for giving classified materials to WikiLeaks, walked free after serving seven years behind bars.

ask, there’s the germ of a scaleddown version in there.

Better bike and running tracks were on the list along with outdoor movie screenings, an amphitheatre performance space, And what they weren’t doing was just looking at their own needs now and in the future, they were also looking back at how the domain’s activity area could be improved for younger children, with some pretty inspirational ideas around over-ground, under-ground and well aboveground play areas, an additional water activity area and inground trampolines.

Our district is an absolute melting pot of ages but when it comes to running the show, the oldies get the say and yet it’s so often the real ideas, the creative ideas that come form the under 20s.

Yesterday’s youth forum was

a perfect example of young thinking inspiring older hearts and minds. It was very clear that there’s a huge pool of untapped creativity out there when it comes to ideas for what should happen around our district.

The council is currently rewriting its domain development plan – let’s hope there’s still scope for the best and most innovative of yesterday’s ideas to make their way into that plan.

What our domain becomes should not be what we want and believe it should become, it should be what today’s young people want for their future.

Harnessing the thoughts of young people shouldn’t end here.

We have a new library on the radar.

What we think it should contain and what our young people might think will be very different, and it’s them we’re building it for.

Today’s highlight in history: On May 17, 2004, Massachusetts became the first state to allow same-sex marriages.

On this date: In 1536, Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer declared the marriage of England’s King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn invalid after she failed to produce a male heir.

In 1792, the New York Stock Exchange had its beginnings as a group of brokers met under a tree on Wall Street and signed the Buttonwood Agreement.

In 1833, the first British Resident in New Zealand landed in state.

In 1922, James Liston, the assistant bishop of Auckland, NZ, was found not guilty of sedition following a high-profile court case.

In 1946, President Harry S Truman seized control of the nation’s railroads, delaying a threatened strike by engineers and trainmen.

In 1954, a unanimous US Supreme Court handed down its Brown v Board of Education of Topeka decision which held that racially segregated public schools were inherently unequal, and therefore unconstitutional.

In 1968, nine men and women, including brothers Daniel and Philip Berrigan, entered the Selective Service office in Catonsville, Maryland, seized several hundred draft files and burned them outside to protest the Vietnam War before being arrested.

In 1973, a special committee convened by the US Senate began its televised hearings into the Watergate scandal.

In 1980, rioting that claimed 18 lives erupted in Miami’s Liberty City after an all-white jury in Tampa acquitted four former Miami police officers of fatally beating black insurance executive Arthur McDuffie.

Thinking about running N

ow before you go saying, “that lard arse will have a heart attack.” I’ve been mulling over running for council.

I would like to try and make a difference and give back to the town that has been good to me for so many years.

The town I’m proud to call my home.

The town that Jamie McKay, the host of our nationwide radio show The Country, calls a town he loves.

I think the council is crying out for some fresh thinking, a younger and more vibrant element to mix in with some of the experienced heads there currently.

I worry that my out of the box thinking could be too out of the box for council and probably the community.

I also worry, now that I’ve hit 50, I’m no longer in the younger and vibrant group.

Anyhoo, back to the ideas – here’s a couple for you to mull over.

Why don’t we start up an ADC water bottling plant on Lot 9, that exports to China, and anywhere else they need fresh H2O. I think some of the protests a couple of years ago were around the profits heading offshore, so lets keep them here.

I know there were a lot of concerns around using up precious resources (water) but how would the plant compare to the average dairy farm in Mid Canterbury?

If we own the thing we have control of how much is getting used as well, eh?

The profits from this will pay for the Civic Centre, additions to the EA Networks Centre stadium

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

and pool, including a flowrider, a new bridge, CBD upgrade and any repairs needed on council owned buildings in town.

On the CBD upgrade – let’s go the whole hog and make East Street from Havelock to Moore streets pedestrian only.

Install semi-permanent mini marquees on the green between the walking path and the railway hedge, leaving plenty of room for picnic tables on the green area in front of them. These marquees could get rented out, preferably to businesses that wouldn’t compete with our East Street businesses.

It could be a micro Boulevard Day EVERY day!

Before we get the second bridge sorted, thanks ADC Water, we could erect two big signs, one at each end of town saying, ‘Ashburton, it’s crap to drive through, so you may as well stop and shop’.

The iSITE building would need to be opened up again, because we’ll have so many people stopping in town needing guidance, but they will also look after the marquee bookings and organising the talent/entertainment that would be on show each day on the chessboard or near it if there was a Chess Challenge taking place.

They would also drive the social media advertising for the CBD each day, along the lines of,

today in marquee #1, opposite Sparrows, we have the team from Waikickamoocow Cheese in town with a special on their creamy blue cheese.

They would also be busy selling ‘heavily discounted’ bottles of ADC Water.

The marquee booking fee would cover the cost of running the iSITE building.

I think the key to being a good councillor is remembering you have two ears and one mouth for a reason.

Get some good people advising you and listen to them and the public.

The biggest concern I have about running, apart from people saying, ‘jeez I wouldn’t vote for that idiot’, is TIME. I said, when Maddy arrived in my and Manda’s lives, that I would scale back on the other work stuff I get asked to do.

Hosting events, running quiz nights etc, so I could spend more time at home enjoying watching her grow up.

So far the councillors I have talked to about their roles have warned me about the time commitment. “There is a lot of reading” seems to be a common comment.

I’m not a huge reader, but maybe I could kill two birds with one stone and read council business to Maddy in the evenings.

Hopefully it won’t put us both to sleep.

I think it could be done, I’d just need to be organised, which led me to researching this.

Secrets of organised people: ¾¾ They live by lists: If you write it down, you won’t stay awake at night worrying that you’ll forget something.

CALTEX ASHBURTON 9KG REFILL ONLY $29.97

SWAP-A-BOTTLE ONLY $35.90 T&Cs apply

(I’d probably forget where I put it …) ¾¾ They find a home for everything: Make sure everything has a proper place. Put your keys and wallet in the same place every day. Establish a charging station for all devices. You’ll be much more likely to get out the door on time when you don’t have to spend time looking for essentials. ¾¾ They’re decisive: Whether they’re cleaning out the closet or planning a dinner party, organized people are able to make choices easily and stick to them. This allows you to prioritise your time wisely and efficiently.

(I think I could be decisive… sometimes … in certain situations …) ¾¾ They cut the clutter: Now apply that decisiveness to your stuff. Organised people get rid of the stuff that they no longer use… including clothing. (I don’t call that stuff clutter…I call it “my unique style “) ¾¾ They value their time: Organised people work smarter, not harder. They delegate wisely and manage their workloads efficiently.

Maybe I should just stick to my day job!

Cheques on the way out

By Tamsyn Parker State-owned Kiwibank will stop accepting cheques by February 28, 2020 and won’t issue new cheque or deposit books after September 28 this year.

Chief executive Steve Jurkovich said it was a tough decision to make but for the past five years the use of cheques had been steadily declining.

“With less than one per cent of Kiwibank payments now made by cheque, we’ve come to a tipping point.

“We’ve chosen not to invest in a shrinking service and outdated technology, instead we’re moving forward and equipping customers for a world that is increasingly digital,” he said.

Cheque use in New Zealand has been on a steep decline for the last 10 years.

Payments New Zealand figures show there were 120 electronic payments for every cheque written last year.

That compares to 2010 where there was only 18 electronic pay-

ments for every cheque.

Kiwibank is not alone in its move. At the start of this year major retailer The Warehouse also stopped accepting cheques.

A Kiwibank spokeswoman said of its one million customers only 5400 were writing more than one cheque a month.

She said the bank realised that people who used cheques might take the decision badly but because of that it was doing a lot to support them through the nine month transition period.

Last month Kiwibank partnered

commentator and former head of education at the Commission for Financial Capability, said it was inevitable that the days of the cheque book were numbered.

“KiwiBank has taken the plunge many other banks I’m sure have considered or would like to do but didn’t want rock the boat with what could be seen as another negative.

“Providing a digital platform that is easy to use and hopefully more cost effective for the end customer has to be welcomed.”

But he said he was concerned how our older New Zealanders in particular were helped with the transition especially if they don’t have access to the internet or a smart phone.

“It’s so important to get that right and give them as much support as they can to make it easier for their customers to deal with the change.”

“My mum is 92 and I know she still writes out cheques because that’s what she has always done and it would be pretty difficult for her to change.”

with Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa and was supporting Stepping UP, an initiative that provides free, community-based training that works to build digital skills and knowledge in communities.

Jurkovich said it had worked with Stepping UP to design and develop online banking training.

The free banking workshops would be piloted in several regions before going nationwide through Stepping UP’s 120 community partners.

Training venues included public libraries, schools, and commu-

nity centres around the country.

“Online tools can offer a more convenient and cheaper customer experience, but there can be barriers to usage.

“This new partnership is about making sure all Kiwis have the same opportunity to build their online skills, feel more included and gain confidence.

“It will also mean they have access to cheaper and faster financial products and be confident they are doing so securely,” Jurkovich said.

Asked if the bank could lose customers as a result of the change the Kiwibank spokeswoman said: “Customers have a choice but our preference would be to prepare people for the change.”

Those that used cheques more than five times over the past year would be receiving personal letters advising them of the change.

Kiwibank would also work with business customers and large cheque issuers, including government departments, through the nine-month transition period.

Migration pushing population up

I

t has been a mixed week for investors with trade once again dominating global headlines.

The NZX 50 closed at fresh records while global markets gained after US President Donald Trump said he plans to delay imposing the auto tariffs by up to six months in order to allow negotiations to continue.

Back home house prices continued to rise and migration remained at strong levels.

Within the benchmark index, Trustpower closed at a record $7.20 on Monday after declaring a special dividend of 15 cents per share.

The company reported net profit after tax of $93m, down 19 per cent on the prior year and operating earnings of $222m, down 9 per cent. The result was in line with market expectations.

Dairy conglomerate Fonterra confirmed the sale of Tip Top to global ice cream company Froneri for $380m. Froneri is the third largest ice cream manufacturer in the world, selling ice cream brands in 20 countries.

Population growth from migration remains at extremely high levels.

Stats NZ estimated there was a net gain of 56,000 people in the 12 months to March, up 10.9 per cent on March 2018.

However the migration estimates continue to show significant volatility and are subject to substantial revisions.

Stats NZ has revised its estimated net gain for the 12 months to February down to 55,100, from 61,600 reported in the previous month.

ON THE MARKETS

However even with the revisions, the figures show net migration gains continue to run at very high levels.

The biggest source country for long-term arrivals was China with a net gain of 10,060 in the 12 months to March. This was up 31.6 per cent compared to the previous 12 months.

There was also a net gain of 545 people from Hong Kong.

House prices across New Zealand have continued to rise with 13 out of 16 regions experiencing annual price increases.

Record median prices were recorded in Southland, Manawatu/ Wanganui and Northland. Median house prices across New Zealand increased by 6.4 per cent in April to a record equal $585,000, up from $550,000 in April 2018.

Median price increases for New Zealand excluding Auckland were even stronger, increasing by 7.6 per cent to a record $495,000 up from $460,000 in April last year.

While median house prices in Auckland remained exactly the same as they did in April 2018 at $850,000. Surprisingly, Nelson and Otago both saw falls in the annual median price, down 0.9 per cent and 0.4 per cent respectively.

The Australian Federal Election takes place this Saturday on May 18.

Polling booths close at 6.00pm

(local time), so we should know the results later that evening.

The vote will put current Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s centre-right Liberal-National coalition against the left-leaning Australian Labor Party (ALP), which is led by Bill Shorten.

The ALP has been ahead in the polls for more than two years, by a large margin for the most part, although the race has tightened a little recently.

Policy differences are quite large between the two parties, with the ALP more focused on redistribution, changes to taxation and stronger action on climate change.

US President Donald Trump is expected to delay a decision on tariffs on imported cars and parts by up to six months.

The US dollar has benefited from safe haven status even as the United States and China remain locked in a trade war.

Trump threatened higher tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese imports last week, and Beijing responded with planned tariff hikes of its own on Monday.

In Europe, data showed Germany’s economy returned to growth in the March quarter as households spent more and as construction activity picked up.

Safe haven currencies including the Japanese yen and US dollar were also boosted after weak economic data in China raised new concerns about growth there.

Ashburton Guardian 29

The Informant, no more Guardian racing reporter Matt Markham looks ahead to local racing action today and some other key points from the racing week.

No return for The Informant It has been announced this week popular racing publication, The Informant will not be making a return.

News around six weeks ago shocked the industry when it was announced that, effective immediately, the publication would cease to exist.

It was hoped that there was a potential saving grace on the horizon for the publication and a couple of weeks ago news coming out was positive for the future, but it has been confirmed this week that there will be no return in the immediate future.

This is really concerning news for the industry as it confirms the loss of the only independent racing publication and the final blow to racing journalism in the country too.

Days of racing departments in daily newspapers are now almost obsolete with only the New Zealand Herald and Otago Daily Times with dedicated racing reporters.

This comes after decades of wonderful service in which multiple papers across the country would run two pages a day worth of content.

Those resources just aren’t there any more though and despite some papers still trying to run as much racing specific content as possible, it’s getting harder and harder to source that information.

Our goal here at the Guardian, for the immediate future anyway, is to continue to bring as much racing news as is possible, when is possible.

We will call on all the resources we can to provide the content that readers require, but the battle is getting tougher and tougher to source the copy.

Just know we intend to do our best and if there’s anything you’d like to see included in these pages, then please feel free to let us know.

Laking back in business How good is it to see local jockey, Jason Laking back in business and doing what he does best.

The industry lost Laking for a while there when he took a break for a few years but over the past two seasons he’s made a much-welcomed return to the South Island riding ranks and is getting good results from his opportunities.

Laking was in form with a typically cool ride to win with Cinto Bay at Ashburton last week and looked good doing it too.

He’s ridden 13 winners this season and currently sits 49th on the national jockey’s premiership and will be out to chase down his 16 wins from last season.

Local interest in Jewels looking slim It could be slim pickings for the Mid Canterbury trained horses at this year’s Harness Jewels.

This weekend marks the final week-

This weekend marks the final weekend for Harness Jewels qualifying. end of qualifying for the huge race day on Queen’s Birthday Weekend and there seems to be only one horse with a serious opportunity of sneaking their way into the top 12 to earn a spot.

As it currently stands, Brent White’s One Apollo is the only horse with a spot inside the top 12 from Mid Canterbury in the nine divisions, but White could also add another runner to the starting list if his exciting two-year-old pacer Cranbourne can win tonight at Addington.

He needs to win to sneak his way into the Two-Year-Old Emerald $150,000 final.

Despite a lack of trained horses competing, there is still plenty of local interest set to unfold on the day with a number of horses owned by Mid Canterbury owners who we will look to profile in the lead up to the big day.

No luck from both Final Say and Immortal Change last week, so let’s just move on from that as quickly as we can.

Thoroughbreds: Perhaps we might have found a lightweight sneaky for today’s Timaru meeting.

Miss Brahmos in the third race of the day and sneaks into a big Rating 82 field and with no real weight on the back the Terri Rae-trained runner just might be able to make the most of a good op-

Racing this week It’s off down the road to Phar Lap Raceway today for thoroughbred action at the Timaru Racing Club.

With winter racing really starting to get warmed up and softer tracks the form lines tend to change and those horses with form on rain affected tracks really come into their own.

Then it’s back up the road to Addington tonight for New Zealand Oaks night and a fantastic night of harness racing from HQ with plenty of local chances scattered throughout the night.

Sunday sees racing from Riverton for the gallopers and Oamaru for the standardbreds with Sunday the final day for Harness Jewels qualifying.

What are we backing

Local jockey, Jason Laking

portunity at hopefully a nice each way quote.

Harness: Last week at Timaru, Dr Susan looked to have them beat halfway down the straight before being run down by a smart one.

This week it is a little further down the road to Oamaru and from a similar draw you’d expect her to roll forward and look to find the front again before proving very hard to catch in the dash to the line.

■■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Late lapses prove costly for Baabaas

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

What their coach described as a final 15 minute implosion resulted in the Ashburton Barbarians falling to a disappointing 36-18 loss to the Burnham Chevaliers on Saturday.

Coach Steve Gamble said he made his disappointment clear to his side following the Canterbury Rugby League division one match in Ashburton on Saturday, ensuring they knew that a repeat per-

formance this weekend against the Woolston Rams would not go down well.

“We were with them right up until the last 15 minutes and all of a sudden the boys lost their composure and lost their way, and Burnham being the class side they are decided they would play a good game of league while we imploded,” Gamble said.

“I let the boys know I was disappointed, that’s for sure.

“Last week’s loss to Marist was

something I could handle because we played bloody well, but this week we had them on the ropes with 15 minutes to go and all of a sudden our two point lead wasn’t enough.”

Gamble said his players seemed to decide that they needed more of a buffer, but in their haste lost their structure and exposed some weaknesses defensively, which Burnham exploited.

“I’d rather win by two points and look ugly, than lose by 20 and

try to be too flashy,” Gamble said.

With the Woolston Rams their next opposition in Christchurch this weekend, the Barbarians couldn’t afford to do make the same mistakes again.

Gamble said attention to detail was lacking late in the loss to the Chevaliers, with too many players deciding to try and do their own thing rather than working as a team.

Saturday’s loss to the defending champions was the start of the

second round, and the Barbarians narrowly missed out on finishing top-of-the-table at the end of round one.

A couple of weeks ago, the Barbarians were tracking well, but they had now lost two games in a row and that, Gamble said, was disappointing.

The Woolston Rams, at home, would be hard to beat but Gamble had faith that his side would pick itself back up and get back on track.

■■CYCLING

Massive break for van Garderen AP Tejay van Garderen thought he had lost his overall race lead in the Tour of California after a string of bad luck in the final couple of miles yesterday.

The race jury gave it right back a couple hours later.

Tour organisers issued a controversial statement that said a major crash near the finish that held up van Garderen and many other top contenders would be treated “such that all riders affected by the incident and the road blockage will receive the field time,” effectively giving van Garderen the lead back.

That rule is designed to protect overall leaders from the chaos that comes in the final 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) of a race, when sprints often lead to crashes.

But the crash in California occurred just outside of the 3-kilometer-to-go

mark, putting the decision of the commissaires into a harsh spotlight.

They did not provide the reasoning behind their decision.

Regardless, it meant that rather than falling to 13th place and 47 seconds behind Kasper Asgreen for the race lead, van Garderen kept his yellow jersey by six seconds over Gianni Moscon – a rider who also was held up by the pileup.

“When they told me I was back in yellow, I was surprised,” van Garderen said. “I thought it was bad luck, and then they decided to give us the time from the crash because we were back on. I just have to applaud their decision.”

It didn’t change the fact that Fabio Jakobsen won the stage with an inspired uphill sprint, the third straight for his Deceuninck Quick-Step team this week – all by different riders.

Or that Jasper Philipsen finished

second on the stage to give embattled UAE Team Emirates something positive, and that three-time world champion Peter Sagan took third to assume the sprinter’s green jersey.

It changed just about everything else, though.

“Sometimes the cards fall your way,” van Garderen said.

Emirates pressed on without climbing specialist Kristijan Durasek, who was implicated in an Austrian investigation into doping earlier in the day.

The 31-year-old Durasek is accused of using a “prohibited method” during the 2017 season, the sixth cyclist to be ensnared in the scandal.

He has been provisionally suspended by the UCI, the sport’s world governing body, and the team has sent him back to Europe to co-operate with the far-reaching investigation.

■■ SWIMMING

Ready to make a big splash

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre aquatic centre is going to be a busy place this weekend.

The Ashburton Swim Team are holding their annual Ashburton Splash swim meeting across both Saturday and Sunday, and it’s attracted more than 250 swimmers.

Entries have come from Canterbury, South Canterbury and the West Coast for what is set to be a massive two days in the pool.

One of the feature events of the meet will be a hotly contested annual relay which is swum in an eight by 50m relay, and will include two swimmers from each age group – 11 years and under, 12/13 year olds, 14/15 year olds and 16 years and over.

The relay will be made up of one 50m backstroke leg, two 50m buttterfly legs, two 50m breaststroke legs and three 50m freestyle legs.

Last year the honours went to Christchurch swim club Wharenui and it’s always a fun and competitive relay.

Saturday’s session will start at 2pm and there will be two sessions on Sunday, at 9am and then 2pm.

All up there will be 269 swimmers hitting the water.

Right – Ashburton swim team coach Shane Jones with some of his young charges.

Bucks charge home to take first blood AP

Raptors’ Kawhi Leonard shoots in heavy traffic.

Down for most of the game, clearly rusty at times after nearly a full week off, the Milwaukee Bucks looked very much like a team in trouble.

Until the fourth quarter.

The team with the NBA’s best record this season found its stride at the perfect time.

Brook Lopez scored 13 of his career playoff-high 29 points in the fourth quarter, Giannis Antetokounmpo added 24 points and the Bucks closed the game on a 10-0 run to beat the Toronto Raptors 108-100 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals yesterday.

Milwaukee forced Toronto to miss its final eight shots and outscored the Raptors 32-17 in the fourth.

“I think it speaks a little bit to the character of the group,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said.

“They just stick with it. I think it’s become a little bit of a theme in the playoffs: I think eventually, hopefully, we feel like if we stick with what we’re doing good things will happen for us.”

Lopez had a dunk with 2:20 left to put the Bucks ahead for good, added a 3-pointer on the next Milwaukee possession to push the lead to four and the Bucks – after trailing for the overwhelming majority of the game – did just enough in the final minutes to grab the series lead.

“I think this game definitely made us better,” Antetokounmpo said.

Malcolm Brogdon scored 15 and

Nikola Mirotic had 13 for Milwaukee, which closed the game out on a 10-0 run.

“We just did a great job of sticking with what we’ve been doing all postseason long,” Lopez said.

Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points and Kyle Lowry added 30 for the Raptors, who led by as many as 13 early and took an 83-76 lead into the final quarter.

Lowry was 5 for 7 in the fourth – and his teammates were 0 for 15.

“Fourth quarter killed us, 32-17,” Lowry said.

“They outplayed us in that fourth quarter. They got a little bit more aggressive.

“They made some big shots, made some big plays.

“It sucks when you lose like that. But we had our chance and we’ve got to learn from it.”

Lopez added 11 rebounds for the Bucks, who had three players post double-doubles. Antetokounmpo had 14 rebounds and Khris Middleton finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee, which is now 9-1 in this postseason.

The Bucks trailed for 37 of the game’s 48 minutes.

Didn’t matter.

They stayed just close enough until they could finish with a serious kick.

“The way guys competed and just got after it ... stands out to me,” Budenholzer said.

Pascal Siakam scored 15 for Toronto, including a 3-pointer over Antetokoun-

mpo to end the third quarter and give the Raptors a seven-point lead with 12 minutes left.

It unravelled quickly from there. And now the Raptors, who came in on the high of winning a second-round Game 7 on a buzzer-beater by Leonard, have two days to regroup.

With the chants of Milwaukee’s motto – “Fear the deer! Fear the deer!” – bouncing throughout the building, the Bucks predictably came out flying.

The flurry was brief.

The Bucks missed seven consecutive shots, the Raptors made four 3-pointers in a span of three minutes, and that all helped become a 16-0 run by Toronto that turned an early 8-3 deficit into a 19-8 edge.

The lead got as big as 13 later in the quarter on a fadeaway jumper by Leonard, and the Raptors held the lead the rest of the half.

Milwaukee had a chance to take its first lead since the opening minutes when Antetokounmpo went to the line for a pair of free throws with 8:17 left in the third and the Bucks down by one.

He missed both and the Raptors peeled off the next nine points to rebuild a 10-point lead again.

But Toronto shot 5 for 22 in the fourth, the Bucks finally reclaimed the lead, and the Raptors’ chance to steal home-court went awry.

“We gave ourselves a chance to win on the road in an Eastern Conference final,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said.

“And it didn’t turn out.”

Blues aim to get physical

By Patrick McKendry Blues co-captain Patrick Tuipulotu has promised his side will bring a hard, physical edge to their match against the Chiefs, a side he believes enjoy using “bully” tactics and who could receive some of their own medicine at Eden Park tomorrow.

Tuipulotu’s men, in 14th place, need a win to have any chance of making the playoffs knowing too they have been pushed around for too long by their rivals down State Highway 1.

The Blues haven’t beaten the Chiefs since 2011 and lost a thriller last month in Hamilton 33-29 despite a standout performance from midfielder Ma’a Nonu because the home side, led by lock Brodie Retallick, dominated the breakdown area.

Tuipulotu and his side are determined that won’t happen again.

The Blues, who have won only one derby match this season – a win over the Highlanders at Eden Park in March – showed intensity and physicality in their 22-12 defeat to the Hurricanes last weekend and more of the same is required.

“They’re a big, physical side and over the years they’ve prided themselves on being the bully,” Tuipulotu said.

“For us, we’ve come so close so many times it’s really up to us to get over the line.”

Asked if it was more important to take a stand physically against the Chiefs than virtually any other team, he replied: “Yeah, if you want to bully the bully then that’s the way to go.”

Tuipulotu added: “We’ve been put under the pump by the coaches and because of that we’ve had a good training week.

“It’s been one of the best so far.

We have to get one over the Chiefs and we have the confidence we can.”

All Black Retallick remains out with a wrist injury but coach Leon MacDonald expects others to step into the breach for the visitors.

NZME

Blues skipper Patrick Tuipulotu leading from the front.

“He was a big player in the game last time,” MacDonald said.

“He had a massive influence.

“He probably gave his team the recipe they were looking for – the niggle at the breakdown and the relentless pressure.

“I’m sure someone else will pick up that baton.

“We’re expecting three or four Retallick-like performances from their tight five.

“They enjoy playing us … and we’re in the same boat.”

MacDonald has retained Harry Plummer at first-five after the 20-year-old began brightly against the Hurricanes before leaving the field for a head injury assessment late in the first half that he did not return from.

“He’s an impressive young man,” MacDonald said of Plum-

mer. “He’s had a few setbacks and things haven’t gone his way completely but in terms of sticking to his guns he’s done that and he deserves another chance.”

Halfback Sam Nock is out for the rest of the season after having surgery on a finger he injured in the first half of that match, with Jonathan Ruru getting the nod for the No 9 jersey ahead of Augustine Pulu.

All Blacks prop Karl Tu’inukuafe has been named on the reserves bench, along with loose forward Tom Robinson, who was ruled out of the Hurricanes game due to concussion.

The Blues were looking for a little extra finesse after failing to capitalise on several scoring chances last weekend but had trained as well as they have all

season and MacDonald felt the pieces were coming together for a complete performance.

“We did enough to win the game – quite clearly, I think.”

McCaw just one of Elder’s inspirations

By Kristin McFarlane As a leader, Les Elder has plenty of inspiration to draw from.

Former All Blacks captain Richie McCaw is one of them, as are her own past captains and her rugby mentors that she works with in her role as the women’s player development manager at Bay of Plenty Rugby.

But for the 32-year-old Bay of Plenty specialist No.7, who made her Black Ferns debut in 2015, it’s a woman named Maxine Ketu who has probably had the biggest impact.

Elder, who was this week named the new captain of the Black Ferns squad, describes Ketu – a woman she simply calls mum – as strong, hardworking and loyal, all of

Baabaas feature ex-ABs

which are traits she hopes to have picked up from her that will no doubt put her in good stead for her new role.

“I find inspiration in different aspects of my life.

“I don’t just look at rugby leaders but I guess you can’t look any further than, you know, the man that’s sort of set the way for New Zealand Rugby in Richie McCaw, and not that I’ve had any contact with him but just sort of, you know, I’ve read his books and watched him over the years and there’s a lot of good things you can take away from him,” Elder says.

“And then there’s just the every day people that I looked up to in my life like my mum and you know my rugby mentors that I work with at Bay Rugby who have

had a massive impact on my career,” she says.

“My mum’s been a huge impact on me just through my whole life.

“She’s a very strong, independent, hard working woman with fierce loyalty and I’d hope that I carry those same traits.”

Elder takes over from Fiao’o Faamausili, who retired last year after leading the five-time world champions since 2012, captaining them to two of those titles.

When Black Ferns coach, Ashburton’s Glenn Moore, sought a new leader, discussions began with Elder, who accepted the captaincy earlier this year.

Because the appointment has been confidential, Elder hasn’t been able to reach out to Faamausili but now that the news

it out, she says “it’s definitely something I plan to do”, and “talk to a few other people that I’ve been lucky enough to have been captained by”.

“There are things you see in your leaders over the years that you learn from and maybe things that I’d adopt but I guess for me, it’s just being myself and finding what works for me and my own style.”

Elder has plenty of goals for her first season as captain of the new look 2019 Black Ferns squad, which features 10 uncapped players, but her first focus is to help the new players integrate into the team and guide them through what will be a tough four to six weeks in the Women’s Rugby Super Series 2019 in San Diego.

England’s match against the Barbarians at Twickenham next month just got more daunting with a banquet of former All Blacks to feature.

The Pat Lam-led Barbarians yesterday announced Charles Piutau and Liam Messam, along with powerful Fijian No 8 Viliame Mata and Argentinean loose forward Facundo Isa, will join Steven Luatua, Malakai Fekitoa and John Afoa for the match on June 2.

Between them Piutau, Luatua, Messam, Fekitoa and Afoa share 135 tests for the All Blacks.

In the cases of Piutau and Luatua especially, this match could well prove yet another reminder of the talent that is regularly lost from New Zealand shores.

These days Lam coaches Piutau, Luatua and Afoa at Bristol, who also provide Samoan captain Chris Vui. In the same fixture last year, with Lam also at the helm, the Barbarians stunned England 63-45.

With a squad like this they have a strong chance of pulling off another upset.

After a heavily injury-disrupted season, Piutau made a try-scoring return for the Bristol Bears against Sale Sharks this month and will be keen to replicate his debut for the Barbarians against Fiji six years ago in which he scored a try.

Aside from the Kiwis, Mata could do some serious damage.

An Olympic sevens gold medallist with Fiji, Mata was named the Pro-14 Players’ Player of the Year this month after helping Edinburgh to the knockout stages of the European Champions Cup. Mata was also part of the Fiji side that stunned France for the first time in November last year, and he promises to be a force at the World Cup in Japan.

Welsh halfback Rhys Webb and Fijian wing Filipo Nakosi are other already-announced squad members.

Lam hopes the Baabaas will produce a performance to honour the memory of long-standing club president Micky Steeele-Bodger, who passed away aged 93 last week.

“Everyone involved in rugby was sad to hear about Micky’s passing,” Lam said.

“He was such a great character, gave so much to the game for so long, and held strong beliefs about the way it should be played on and off the field.

“The players and management will honour his memory as much as we can in the competitive and exciting way we try to play the game, and in the friendships that will be established by a unique group of players.”

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Being a good judge of character is part talent and part skill. You’ve always had a sense about who to pursue, tolerate or avoid, though you’ve occasionally been tricked by charm. Now you’re seasoned.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There’s something relaxing about maintenance appointments such as routine doctor or dentist visits or an automobile oil change. You’re where you’re supposed to be and the world has to wait.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Every relationship has rules, though most are unspoken. You’ll be aware of how the rules change as you move in and out of the various concentric circles that span the realms between intimacy and distance.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): We may walk the same earthly plane, but there’s a vastly different internal reality inside each person. You’ll be extremely effective with this knowledge at the core of today’s interactions.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You don’t need people to be just like you to feel a kinship and affinity with them. You thrive on knowing a diverse set of people, and today will bring proof that you’re much better for the wide variety of interests.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When the action doesn’t go to plan, you’ll quickly come up with a new one. This is better than passively riding it out. There’s something to save or affect here.

Believe in yourself.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If you know that something is right but you don’t know why it’s right, then you’ll make the correct choice, but you won’t be able to convince others to make it, too.

Find out the reasons.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Time to yourself seems like an impractical indulgence when it should seem more like a choice for health and wellbeing. You’re happier and more loving once you’ve tended to your tranquillity needs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): “You’re going places,” said the casting director to the actor, “just not with us”. You may echo this sentiment as you meet talented and appealing people you don’t know how to “cast” in your life yet.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Wanting to be a part of a different scene is a waste of the one you’re in. This one is good! Trust that there are plenty of opportunities to be excellent from exactly where you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Valuable things become even more so when they are shared, while insubstantial things are diminished when too many people get their hands on them.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The Irish proverb “Praise youth and it will prosper,” was a novel idea when it first came about. Many claim children are now praised to a perilous degree. You’ll dole praise judiciously and fairly.

Celtic’s Shane Muckle will be among those taking to the court at the Celtic squash tournament this weekend.

Tournament time at Celtic The latest tournament on the Squash Midlands calendar is about to hit the courts at Ashburton’s Celtic Squash Club.

Celtic’s annual open tournament, the Ray McBeth Memorial, will get under way tonight and see strong line-ups vie for titles across six divisions.

All-up the tournament has attracted 48 entries and headlining the men’s open field will be Ashburton’s Lee Barker (A2).

Last year’s women’s division one winner at Celtic, junior Lily Rae – a B1 player from Timaru – has made the move into the mixed open grade this season,

with the top seed for this year’s women’s division one draw being Christina Lima.

Games will get under way at Celtic tonight and continue tomorrow, with some spillover games set to be hosted by the Collegiate Squash Club tomorrow morning.

All players will compete in three games, and the tournament’s finals will take place late tomorrow and be followed by supper and a prize-giving.

Celtic Squash spokesperson Kirsty Clay said there would be some top squash played over the weekend.

“We’re looking forward to some great squash and I’m sure there will be a few result surprises along the way, so it’s anyone’s game,” Clay said.

“We welcome anyone who would like to call out to Keenans Road and have a look at some top squash.”

Coach confident Barbarians can bounce back
