■ ASHBURTON PARENTS CENTRE

Plea to save centre goes unanswered

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

A plea for help, to save Ashburton Parents Centre from closing, has gone unanswered.

A lack of volunteers meant Ashburton Parents Centre – which offers a range of courses and playgroups for new parents and their children – was in danger of having to close its doors for good. So they spread the word and asked anyone who could help – parent or not – to head along to their AGM on Wednesday night.

They brought platters, and were hopeful of a good turn-out.

But no one new came. There were seven people there – not even enough for a quorum to make any decisions on its future.

“Because we didn’t have enough for a quorum we couldn’t do anything. We couldn’t make any decision anyway, because we didn’t get enough people there to agree on things,” secretary/treasurer Annie Vince said.

“We just need to get the accounts signed off and make a decision.”

So now, they’re giving it one last chance. They’ve rescheduled their AGM for July 20, and there, they hope they’ll get enough people along to at least make a decision on whether they push on, or close.

With their committee of eight now reduced to five, the outlook isn’t good. Each of those five people is currently wearing a number of hats and bearing a workload which, if they had more people, wouldn’t be difficult. But with only five, it’s just too much.

Ms Vince is secretary/treasurer and like the rest of the committee, she’s got a lot out of Ashburton Parents Centre after welcoming

New resthome officially opened

By Linda CLarkE

Linda.c@thEguardian.co.nz

Annie Vince her two boys – Riley, 3, and Jack, 1 – to the world, and she’d hate to see it close. But she knows it’s the most likely outcome.

If people wanted to save it, they would have come to the meeting. She just hopes that if it does close, people don’t then realise later how valuable it actually was, because once it’s done, it won’t be easy to restart.

For them, it’s not a financial problem, it’s purely down to manpower and the workload being too much for five volunteers. For now, it’s a matter of just keeping their heads above water, until the centre’s future is decided.

“If there’s a way we can manage to not close, but shelve it until there’s another round of people that are keen to take it on, then great. But we’ve still got costs. If we’re not bringing anything in, there’s still rent and rates to pay,” Ms Vince said.

To make a quorum, they need 10 paid members to attend their rescheduled AGM on July 20.

Whether it’s people wanting to help, or people just there to sign off the centre’s fate, they just need enough people to make a decision either way.

Residents will begin moving into Ashburton’s newest resthome next week, after the 80-bed facility was officially opened yesterday.

Radius Millstream is part of a vision by Ashburton man Les Briggs, who has built a lifestyle village for over 65s and is currently building assisted living apartments that will join onto the Millstream hospital.

Mr Briggs said the hospital offered 40 hospital beds, a secure 20-bed dementia wing, and a 20bed rest-home/ hospital wing, and was a state-of-the-art facility.

More than half the beds have already been filled.

He said the hospital opening was a milestone on the overall development, which included 78 independent living homes in Lochlea village and the assisted living units, which would be finished by the end of the year.

“I am please Radius is now taking over. They will bring a new level of care. The facility is ideal and it is great for Ashburton.”

Radius special projects manager Helen Somers said the hospital would employ 80 staff when it was fully occupied. The first residents will begin moving in next week.

Millstream was providing much-needed aged care beds for the town, she said.

Rona Hayward and Gilbert Donaldson check out the Millstream new aged care facility.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 170616-AK-045 “The most important aspect of Millstream is the fact we have people who have gone into care away from the area but who are coming back to be close to families who can see them on a dayto-day basis.”

Radius Care managing director Brian Cree said baby boomers, those born after World War Two, were pushing the expansion of aged care facilities.

He said the oldest baby boomers were turning 71 and numbered around 450,000 in New Zealand – was expected to double in 20 years. Research also showed six per cent of people over 70 generally needed some level of care, be it for a physical disability or mental health issues like demen-

tia. “It is for those people these facilities like Millstream exist but in the next 10 years we will have to expand our services in New Zealand.”

He said Radius’ business partnership with Mr Briggs had been key to developing the hospital.

“When Les approached us, we jumped at the chance. It will provide services to the Ashburton community for many decades in the future.”

Millstream was officially opened yesterday by Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew, who said government was aware of the baby boomer bubble working their way into old age. The new beds would help ease demand for care in Ashburton.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Mock crash a sobering lesson

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Some of Ashburton’s newest, and most vulnerable drivers, were given a harsh dose of reality during a mock fatal crash yesterday.

More than 200 Year 12 Ashburton College students gathered on Middle Road to witness the crash which was acted out by students, St John staff and fire crews for the school’s annual Road Crash Day. Four Year 13 drama students acted out the scene of the crash in a real car while covered in fake blood and were helped by emergency services who cut one of the actors out of the vehicle.

The group then made their way to the Ashburton Trust Event Centre to hear from families who have experienced the tragedy of losing a loved one in a car crash and to take part in workshops run by the Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service, the New Zealand Fire Service and St John.

The workshops focused on what emergency services do when they attend crashes as well as messages about safe partying and peer pressure.

One speaker that really struck a chord with many students was

Ashburton College students witnessed a mock car crash for Road Safety Day yesterday.

Brent Laurenson, the father of 18-year-old Nathan, who was killed in a car crash in 2009.

Before speaking, Mr Laurenson showed the crowd a heart wrenching video called The Rip-

ple Effect, which showed how all sorts of people were affected by his son’s death.

Mr Laurenson said that as hard as it was to talk about the crash he believed it was important to

share the story to make sure Nathan’s death wasn’t in vain and to prevent it happening to others.

Students also heard from Lisa Collins, whose son died 25 days after being hit by a car while get-

ting off a school bus, and Christian Gallen from Attitude (the youth education division of The Parenting Place), who talked about skills teenagers needed to build meaningful lives.

Loaded gun left in Parliament bathroom by police A loaded gun left in a Parliamentary bathroom by a police staff member was found by a member of the public, the Herald understands.

Labour say the incident is “shabby” and could have been much more serious had the person who found the Glock firearm not acted responsibly.

“It could have ended a lot worse than this,” Labour’s police spokesman Stuart Nash said.

“The person who found it did the right thing – they were probably a bit shocked to open a cubicle and there was a loaded Glock.”

The incident occurred on Thursday, which was a sitting day meaning MPs were at Parliament.

Prime Minister John Key was in Auckland.

Former police negotiator and detective Lance Burdett, who has VIP protection experience and now runs a private company dealing with negotiation skills, said leaving a gun behind as a protection officer was the “ultimate sin”.

“When you train you very nearly shower with it, it never leaves your side. If you get caught without it in training, the consequences are massive.”

Thinking

DPS officers would likely wear the weapon on a holster that sits around the hips, and that was normally taken off to use the toilet, Mr Burdett said.

Mr Nash said that he did not think any change in procedure or rules could 100 per cent prevent such incidents.

“I certainly wouldn’t recommend that the [police staffer] is fired or taken off duties. But I suspect that they will never, ever do this again.

“It is a cautionary reminder that they just need to be incredibly careful while they are carrying

firearms. We are just lucky that it happened in a place where security is tight and is full of responsible people.”

Superintendent Chris Scahill, police national manager response and operations, said in a statement that the gun was left only briefly, with staff soon attending and recovering it from the “occupant”.

“And we would like to thank them for their assistance,” Mr Scahill said in a statement. “This was a regrettable incident that we are taking very seriously, and we acknowledge the potential risk

that this could have posed.”

Police would not provide further comment while the matter was under investigation.

Free guided tours run on the hour at Parliament daily, and there are often other school and education visits.

The Diplomatic Protection Service is a branch of police that has an office at Parliament, and is also responsible for the protection of the Prime Minister.

Spokespeople for Mr Key and Police Minister Judith Collins declined to comment.

■ PHONE SCAM

Scam sparks IRD warning

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

An Ashburton woman was shocked when she retrieved a message on her answerphone suggesting she get a lawyer to defend her against allegations of tax evasion and avoidance.

Vanessa, who didn’t want her last name published, said she’d paid her tax bill and knew straight away the call – supposedly from the Inland Revenue (IRD) – was a scam, but it still made her question herself for a moment.

She’s not the only Mid Canterbury person to have received such a call recently, but she’s hoping everyone has done what she did about it – nothing.

Another woman she knew who had received the same call, phoned the number back and questioned it, and the person on the other end of the phone ended up swearing at her and hanging up.

It’s incidents like these which have prompted the IRD to put out a warning; they say they’re aware scammers claiming to be from Inland Revenue are cold calling people to say they’re being investigated for tax fraud and requesting personal information including the person’s IRD number, before threatening them with legal action.

According to the IRD, they’ve had 500 phone calls nationally from people concerned about

contact by alleged scammers in the past four days.

In some cases people are told they must pay a debt urgently or face jail, while others – like the Ashburton woman – have reported scammers leaving voicemails stating the recipient is subject to criminal action for tax fraud, leaving a phone number for the person to return the call.

This scam is recent, but the IRD is no stranger to scams.

Phishing email scams with the IRD’s logo on them have been circulating.

The Ashburton woman spoken to by the Guardian said the message on her answerphone featured a very “abrupt voice”.

“I didn’t even ring back,” she said. Phone calls and emails are the most common methods used by fraudsters to collect someone’s personal information, according to the IRD. “These callers are quite clever and are particularly aggressive, so people need to be wary of being caught out,” Inland Revenue’s customer services group manager Eleanor Young said.

Inland Revenue would never ask for credit card details or bank account numbers over the phone, she said.

“We recommend that if anyone receives a call of this nature they hang up and if they have any concerns to email phishing@ird.govt.nz.”

Open day part of Gifted Awareness Week

Shots reported Police responded to reports of gun shots being heard in the Hampstead area yesterday, but found nothing. The Guardian was also made aware of the incident, shortly before lunch time yesterday.

Ashburton Police sergeant Bryan Ennis said police investigated, but nothing was found. He said sometimes cars backfiring could be mistaken for gun shots, but a Hampstead resident the Guardian spoke to doubted it was a car, saying it was four or five distinct shots in succession.

Boy run over A two-year-old child has died after being run over by a car in a carpark in Christchurch.

Mid Canterbury’s smartest children were celebrated during an open day yesterday.

The Mid Canterbury Centre for Gifted Education, which is based at the Ashburton Christian School, held an open day as part of Gifted Awareness Week.

The centre operates three days a week with cognitive and creatively gifted students from 13 local contributing schools.

Teacher Mel Simons said the open day was a great way to raise awareness about the centre which has been open for nearly a year.

Prospective families and parents of current students were able find out about what the centre offers.

“It’s a really exciting programme we get to do to get the kids thinking creatively and critically.”

A total of 45 students from Year 3 to 8 come to the centre one day a week to study under the MindPlus programme which is run by the New Zealand Centre for Gifted Education.

“They get time to be creative and work with their talents and

“It’s a big thing for some of the

children, being with other children who think similarly to themselves.”

The centre was opened on July 22 last year after a need was found by 13 local schools to cater

for their gifted and talented children. Students can be nominated by schools after which they will be assessed to see whether they would meet the cognitive or creative criteria.

Teina Pora is to receive a compensation package immediately while he decides whether to ask the courts to review the decision not to adjust it for inflation. “I can confirm that the Crown has agreed to Mr Pora’s request that he receive the sum immediately while still reserving his right to challenge the amount,” Justice Minister Amy Adams said.

■ MID CANTERBURY RURAL SUPPORT TRUST

More funds welcomed The Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust has welcomed yesterday’s announcement of $600,000 to continue support for mental health initiatives in rural communities.

Health minister Jonathan Coleman and primary industries minister Nathan Guy made the funding announcement at Fieldays.

It follows $500,000 the previous year for rural mental wellness initiatives.

Rural support trusts have employed and trained mental health facilitators and had the resources to develop stronger relationships with counselling and mental health services, as well as across industry bodies and rural professionals.

Mid Canterbury trust chairperson Peter Reveley said it was great the initiatives could continue.

More than 400 rural professionals have been to DairyNZ-

“

The funding announcement recognises that we have ongoing work to do, supporting the mental health of farmers, their families and employees

led Good Yarn workshops which helps them to identify and manage signs of stress or depression in the people around them, and RHANZ-run SafeTalk workshops have trained 900 people in suicide prevention.

“The funding announcement recognises that we have ongoing work to do, supporting the mental health of farmers, their families, employees, and others in rural New Zealand,

“It is great to see the continuation of the funding initiative that was introduced last year.”

MPI will work directly with rural support trusts from the beginning of July on Phase 2 of the rural mental wellness boost focusing on local initiatives including strengthening networks and relationships with others including mental health services, and supporting local initiatives that reach farmers, raise

awareness and strength the referral network.

There are 14 rural support trusts around the country.

“The Government recognises that rural life goes in cycles, with ups and downs. We are committed to supporting our rural communities,” Dr Coleman said.

He said the health and primary industries joint investment would help maintain the momentum achieved last year, while putting a plan in place for the future.

“The new funding will help to strengthen local networks for farmers, workers and families in rural communities.

“It will provide more suicide prevention workshops and employ coordinators to work with Rural Support Trusts,” said primary industries minister Nathan Guy. “Farmers and their families are not alone.”

Town backs redundant townsman

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Methven is rallying around its hard working townsman, who has been made redundant.

Steve Williams had been employed by ACL, who was contracted by the Ashburton District Council to keep the town spick and span. But a new township maintenance contract was awarded to Fulton Hogan this year.

Methven Community Board chairperson Liz McMillan said Mr Williams had been made redundant and the board was in negotiations with council over the situation.

“The community board is fighting to see what can be done,” she said.

Townspeople were talking about it yesterday, concerned their town would not be looking its best during the busy winter tourist season without Mr Williams’ dedicated eye. ACL’s contract ends on June 30.

Letters have been sent to Methven Community Board members and there is talk of a petition.

“He does such an incredible job, we don’t want to lose him. He sees what is happening and what needs to be done and we are worried we don’t get the same attention,” Ms McMillan said.

Changing the contractor had been a money-saving decision for council, but she hoped there was a way to keep Mr Williams on Methven’s side.

Rock mystery deepens

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

The mysterious Ashburton rock drop took another twist yesterday, with news it’s not just goldpainted rocks being specially delivered.

An Ashburton woman, who didn’t wish to be named, contacted the Guardian yesterday to say she’d received a mysterious golden gift on her doorstep a few weeks ago. It was a gold gift bag full of various items, with a message saying ‘God has asked me to bless you with this gift’. The gold-painted stones which have been mysteriously appearing in letterboxes around town have the words ‘you are more precious than gold, luv Jesus’ written on them.

Whether the bag came from the same people as the stones, it’s not known.

“There was no to anyone, or from anyone, so they obviously didn’t know us, I have no idea who it was from,” the woman said.

Inside the bag was an old Bible, the cover of which looked like it had been hand-painted, along with some bed socks, a colouring-in book, some felt-tip pens, a cake of soap and some face cream.

It was a Saturday morning.

She’d gone out to check her letterbox about midday and when her husband came home about

half an hour later he alerted her to the fact there was a parcel at their front door.

“I thought it was a joke at first, then I thought someone has obviously gone to the trouble of buying all these things,” she said.

While many of the recipients of the gold-painted stones were touched by the gesture, and the work that had been put into them, the recipient of the gift bag wasn’t so sure. Some people were doing it tough these days and could do with a helping hand, but she said she and her husband weren’t among them. She passed the goodwill on, donating most of the goods to charity, except the Bible.

“If someone is going around doing good, why don’t they do it for people who need it,” she said.

“I wasn’t actually impressed and I think it’s using God’s name in vain.”

Whether there were more giftbag drops, it’s not known, but the golden-rock drop is continuing, with reports of more arriving in Tinwald letterboxes overnight on Thursday.

Many still believe a church is behind it, but the Guardian has contacted three – the New Life Church, St Andrew’s Presbyterian and The Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter-day Saints – and all have denied any involvement.

Students make clothes for Fiji A group of Mount Hutt College students are taking part in a local sewing project to help children in Fiji.

The school’s Year 10 home economics class has spent the past few weeks making dresses and shorts for children affected by Cyclone Winston in Fiji.

Pictured are Katie Herlihy, 14, and Blynz Monsanto, 15, tie-dyeing material to be used to make some of the clothing.

The teacher in charge of the Dress a Kaji (child)

in Fiji project, Sarah Whinham, said the students have been really enjoying it and are looking forward to finishing their items of clothing to be taken over to children aged two to eight in Fiji, she said.

It has been really beneficial for the students to make something for real-life clients and peoplein-need, she said. All the materials including fabric and embellishments, have been donated from people in the community so the project is also economical.

Race relations hikoi reaches Parihaka

Arrests over ATM scam

By DaviD FishEr A hikoi of almost 1000 people arrived at Parihaka marae yesterday, led by “recovering racist” and New Plymouth Mayor Andrew Judd, with a call for better race relations in New Zealand.

■ AUCKLAND

Up to 1000 sleep at Park Up protest Almost 1000 people spent the night parked in Auckland’s Mangere Town Centre in a show of solidarity with the homeless.

Operations manager Francis Fa’alili said the government has failed to see that homelessness is a problem.

“If you’ve got a bunch of money and you’ve got people living like this - and people who need shelter, food and support. I’d be prioritising those things.”

Early childhood teacher Amy Taunga went to the event with three of her children, her youngest just 15 months old.

“People need a home, [the politicians] have homes. [The homeless are] just looking for the basics and the New Zealand government can’t even provide that.

“I’m a teacher and I see this first-hand. It’s disheartening,” Ms Taunga said.

One great grandmother also braved the overnight low of 8°C with five family members including her children, grandchildren and a 4-year-old

great grandchild.

Some politicians participated and stood alongside members of the community to raise awareness.

Labour MPs Su’a William Sio, David Cunliffe and Louisa Wall were there as well as Green MP Marama Davidson.

Su’a William Sio said he was not aware of any National MPs staying over.

“We did invite everyone, we invited the ministers in particular. Not only did I offer that invitation verbally in the House but the Children Poverty Action Group also sent out an invitation to all members of parliament.”

Organiser Annaliese Johnston was pleased with the turnout.

“It’s awesome to see people getting on board this waka and saying, ‘hey, we want to stand with you. Our family wants to stand with your family’.”

Another Park Up For Homes will take place in Lower Hutt tonight and in Otara, south Auckland next week.

■ METHVEN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Methven students make musical magic A large group of Methven Primary School students have been rehearsing ahead of the Heartland Mid Canterbury Primary Schools’ Music Festival next week. Teacher in charge, Andrew Straight, said the group have been learning their 12 songs for nearly a term and were very excited to perform on Thursday. The 35-strong choir is the biggest the school has sent to the festival and most of the students have never performed on stage before. The festival is an annual celebration of music for Year 4-8 students in Mid Canterbury which runs over three nights from June 21-23 at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

Employment not boosted by trial The controversial trial period allowing workers to be easily sacked within their first 90 days on the job has failed to boost employment, research has found.

Treasury-funded research conducted by Motu found no statistically significant increasing in hiring by employers following the introduction of the 90-day trial periods in 2009.

Motu Fellow Isabelle Sin said the research used “data from every firm and every person in New Zealand”to assess the law changes’ effect.

“The main effect of the policy was a decrease in dismissal costs for firms, while many employees faced increased uncertainty about their job security for three months after being hired,” Sin said.

Some industries saw an increase in hiring following the policy change, but Sin said these effects were insignificant.

“This evidence is statistically weak, meaning the findings may be driven by pure chance and may not reflect any realworld effect.”

The policy was controversial on its passing, with unions and the Labour Party arguing it would make employment for vulnerable people precarious.

The policy was implemented in selected industries in 2009, then deemed a success and rolled out nationwide in 2011.

Sin said the policy seemed impotent.

“My research shows that the 90-day trial period isn’t helping people get jobs. However it doesn’t make people less likely to leave secure jobs and doesn’t make employment relationships less stable. Overall, my research suggests the 90-day trial isn’t doing much at all,” she said.

Council of Trade Unions secretary Sam Huggard said the 90-day periods did not

give people a “foot in the door”.

“The research shows there is no evidence for the Government’s promise that this law would give vulnerable workers a better chance of a job.

“Removing 90 day fire at will periods from law would show that the Government is committed to a fair law, a modern law, a better law.”

When an extension of the 90-day trial was announced by the Government in July 2010, former Labour Minister Kate Wilkinson said a Department of Labour evaluation of the trial period showed benefits for both employers and employees Wilkinson said the evaluation showed that 40 per cent of employers who hired someone on a trial period said it was unlikely they would have taken on new employees without it.

Labour had strongly opposed the trial periods introduced by National because they allow employers to sack a worker within the first 90 days without risking a case of wrongful dismissal.

Labour’s workplace relations spokesman Iain Lees-Galloway said the new research showed the trials had failed, and previous studies cited by National had overstated benefits.

“While there have always been probationary periods, National introduced a fire-at-will measure.

“Labour will change the law to restore fairness. Employers will be required to give decent feedback.”

He has indicated Labour will come up with its own version of trial period for new workers by merging aspects of the 90-day trial and a separate probationary period.

This would make the process fairer for employees, he said.

West Auckland to get more social housing

By Isaac DavIson A third of 200 new homes to be built in West Auckland will be earmarked for social housing, Building and Housing Minister Nick Smith says.

The Government yesterday signed a contract with Fletcher Residential to build the homes at Moire Rd in Massey East.

It is the first site to be developed as part of the Government’s $52 million programme to free up surplus Crown land in Auckland for housing, announced in May last year.

Another $100 million was invested in the programme in this year’s Budget.

Dr Smith said yesterday that 196 detached, terraced and duplex homes would be built on the 9.2ha site, of which 59 homes would be made avail-

able for social housing.

The first homes will be completed in August next year.

The land was originally offered to the Iwi Limited Partnership, who had first rights of refusal, but the partnership declined the offer.

The Crown land building programme is one of the National-led Government’s main policies for addressing housing supply in the overheated Auckland market.

Labour’s housing spokesman Phil Twyford said the development was “a start”, but that the Government needed to “think bigger”.

Two hundred houses was “just a drop in the bucket” for a city that had a shortfall of up to 40,000 homes, he said.

“LOCHLEA LIFESTYLE RESORT IS ALL ABOUT INDEPENDENT LIVING AND HERE YOU CAN DO AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU LIKE WHILE STILL ENJOYING LIFE AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD OUTSIDE OUR SECURE ENVIRONMENT”.

Some people believe that to live in a Lifestyle Resort such as ours means losing their independence. This is simply not correct. In our resort you will have your own space without any hassles. You are able to furnish your villa with your own furniture and personal items and decide how you wish to spend your days and with whom. The security of your villa is controlled by you and you should feel at home and absolutely secure in your environment.

Some people are concerned that when moving away from their family it means that no one will be around to help when needed. At our Resort we have built in security measures designed to reduce the worry that often comes from living along. Features are in place to respond quickly in the event that you need someone to help you.

Some people also believe that moving to a place of independent living means saying goodbye to hobbies such as gardening. Our residents will tell you that they are more active now than when they were living alone. Residents are still able to look after their own gardens if they so desire and in addition to this there are numerous other activities that they can pursue.

It is important to note that studies have shown that people who are active and engaged are healthier and happier. Activity programmes give all residents options and choices tailored to their specific needs, desires and lifestyles. They can also reduce the isolation felt when living alone.

ECan on wallaby

As wallaby numbers continue to rise in South Canterbury, so too does the likelihood of a population establishing on this side of the Rangitata River. Rural reporter Michelle Nelson looks at the possibility.

A

single female wallaby on the north side of the Rangitata River could establish a breeding colony in Mid Canterbury.

And there are “hundreds of thousands” of the pests inside Environment Canterbury’s containment zone between the Rangitata and Waitaki rivers looking to expand their range, according to Environment Canterbury’s (ECan) biosecurity team leader Brent Glentworth.

The problem began with a handful of the marsupial animals which were introduced from Australia in the 1870s and set free in the Waimate District for the purpose of hunting.

By the early 1940s numbers had increased to the point they had become a problem, both in terms of biodiversity and production, and the wallaby control board was established to eradicate what was fast becoming a pest animal. Three wallabies can eat the equivalent of a sheep, they graze pasture harder than rabbits and leave behind parasitic worms.

“If there’s 100 wallabies grazing on a crop that equates to an extra 33 sheep,” Mr Glentworth said.

In 1992 South Canterbury farmers opted to manage wallaby numbers themselves and the board was disbanded.

Left largely unchecked the population exploded. Mr Glentworth said sightings outside the containment area have increased at an exponential rate since 1997, when there were just two sightings; last year there were 50 wallabies spotted and 43 destroyed.

While a doe only raises one joey a year, she always has a back-up plan, in the form of an embryo lying dormant in utero ready to go

when the incumbent joey leaves the pouch or dies.

“This is how one female can stem a new population,” Mr Glentworth said.

And that’s what ECan fears has occurred on the south banks of the Waitaki, where the marsupial pests crossed the Aviemore hydro dam around 2008 and established in the Otamatata area.

ECan has now fenced off the approach to the dam and is concentrating its efforts on eradicating wallaby populations in North Otago, where more than 100 wallabies have been destroyed since the incursion.

“

illegally released outside the containment zone – others will have reverted to their wild state and gone bush.

Mr Glentworth once removed and destroyed a pet wallaby from a Mid Canterbury property as the result of a tip-off.

Wallaby sightings in Mid Canterbury remain rare, but vigilance is needed to make sure it stays that way.

In 2010 a wallaby met its end under the wheels of a vehicle on the Mayfield Ruapuna Road.

A wallaby was shot in the Ashburton Gorge in 2007 and there have been a couple of other sightings in the district, but the

fence if pursued or under threat, but usually choose to move along a fence line, Mr Glentworth said.

While wallabies have breached the Rangitata River, Mr Glentworth suspects human involvement.

He dealt with a wallaby sighting in the Lees Valley just before Christmas and another in the Ashleigh Forest recently.

“Some people will shoot a doe and take the joey from her pouch – I guess they think it would be a cute pet,” Mr Glentworth said.

“But it’s actually illegal to remove a joey without a permit and then it has to be for zoological purposes.”

Some animals may have been

animals were not located.

“I don’t believe there’s any breeding populations north of the Rangitata River at this point,” Mr Glentworth said.

Mid Canterbury farmers keep a close watch for signs of wallabies – a pest which would prosper if established in the tussock country in the Ashburton Gorge.

The fact wallabies are nocturnal serves to hide the extent of the problem. Mr Glentworth says the largely solitary animals will travel several kilometres to feed by night, but come daybreak and they will be tucked up in scrub or under a tussock.

“That’s why people have trouble believing there are so many of

them out there – you could walk right past them and not know they were there unless dogs put them up,” he said.

Leaving dead wallabies in outlandish places has become something of a hunter’s prank for a number of years – and an unhelpful one at that, Mr Glentworth said.

“It’s always quite timeconsuming investigating where they came from and that’s something we don’t need.”

ECan uses experienced hunters with dog teams to conduct search and destroy missions in areas where wallabies have been spotted outside the containment zone.

Two toxin registered for wallaby control have also proved potent weapons in the battle to confine wallabies inside the South Canterbury zone.

Encapsulated cyanide is currently being used in North Otago and 1080 is also effective.

Farmers within the containment zone attempt to control the problem by shooting wallaby, however a co-ordinated approach is required for this method to be effective, Mr Glentworth said.

“Once they hear gunfire they don’t hang around and will often end up on someone else’s property. We need more emphasis on well-co-ordinated control by landowners and increased vigilance from everyone to prevent others from being moved around – either as pets or for the purposes of hunting.”

1988 to 1991. Wallaby kill rate was relatively stable.

An average number of 1400 wallabies shot by hunters with dogs over 156,000ha per annum. This was considered to be a sustained harvest, matching the rate of

recruitment. At that time the cost of running the control unit was around $160,000 per year. With the introduction of user pays there was considerable opposition from the farmers to the level of this rate and questions raised as to whether the wallaby problem justified the annual budget of $160,000. Farmers opted to undertake responsibility for controlling their own wallabies.

1992. The wallaby control unit disbanded. At that point no properties registering above three on the Guilford Wallaby Infestation Scale. Above level three landowners are given notification by ECan to reduce wallaby numbers to within an acceptable range. A rating of four assumes there is a high probability of seeing wallabies.

Watters Cup a new ball game

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The Watters Cup is upon us as the district’s five senior sides vie for domestic supremacy and the chance to lift the 90-year-old trophy at the end of an arduous campaign.

Rakaia, the coveted prize’s keepers since 2014, will be well rested when the time comes to kick off their title defence, up against Hampstead in seven days’ time.

The reigning champions defaulted to Glenmark in their third

place playoff fixture last week and have the bye today.

But, despite placing the highest of the Mid Canterbury sides in the Combined Country Competition, vice-captain Jackson Donlan is well aware that form is temporary when the Watters Cup is concerned.

“No matter how well anyone’s done in the combined competition, you get to the Watters Cup and it’s a different story,” he said.

“She’s pretty much a clean slate.

“Everyone steps up to the plate,

so you can never tell when it comes to the Watters Cup – the intensity goes up a level.”

The opening round will pit Hampstead against Celtic, while Methven – the last side to hold the cup before Rakaia’s three-peat – will entertain Southern.

So whether the goal is redemption or retention, Donlan is expecting a highly competitive competition.

“It means a lot to every team to win this cup,” he said.

“You get into local derbies and there’s a lot of passion, everyone

Rain washes out opening round of US Open World No.1 Jason Day failed to hit a ball in anger as the opening round of the US Open at Oakmont Country Club was marred by thunderstorms.

Three separate storms lashed the course leading to lengthy delays and the eventual suspension of play.

Only nine players finished

their first rounds and the afternoon wave of times failed to get under way with little known American Andrew Landry holding the surprise lead.

The world No.624 from Texas who is playing in his first major championship sits at three-under, with a birdie putt on his final hole, to be one clear.

After two separate earlier rain delays totalling three hours and 45 minutes of suspension time players were once again pulled off the course for the night as a third storm front hit the area.

“It’s a shame the weather has hit but at least we know what’s ahead of us tomorrow,” Day told AAP.

“It will be good to finally get under way for what I know will be a long day, but I’m really looking forward to it.”

Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson (14 holes) and New Zealand’s Danny Lee (13 holes) are just one shot off the pace in a share for second at twounder.

A solid first practice has Jamie Whincup confident about his chances at this weekend’s Supercars event at Darwin’s Hidden Valley Raceway.

The Holden superstar was second quickest in yesterday’s opening session, just 0.0215secs behind Nissan’s Rick Kelly who led the way in searing heat.

Whincup’s Red Bull Racing team-mate Shane van Gisbergen was third fastest, ahead of Erebus’ David Reynolds and Michael Caruso of Nissan.

Series leader Mark Winterbottom, who is driving a new car this round, was back in 12th, while Volvo’s Scott McLaughlin – currently second in the standings – was eighth.

Holden rival Craig Lowndes ended in 15th.

Less than half a second covered the top 10 cars.

Whincup, 36 points behind Winterbottom in the championship, said he was much happier with his car having had a test day between the last event in Winton and this weekend.

“It’s better than it’s been for three or four months,” he said.

“I think the test day has helped us.

“It doesn’t guarantee results though, we just have to grind on.”

Celtic finishes round strongly

By James Ford

– with a transient starting line-up taking its toll on the team’s stability.

“It has been a challenging round, we have had all sorts of issues to deal with such as players leaving, travelling overseas and having to blood new and injured players,” said United coach Anne Gilbert.

“We have had to juggle positions and players, but the girls have just made the best of it.”

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Methven, Celtic and Southern recorded wins on the final evening of round two in the Premier Grade Netball competition at the EA Networks Centre Stadium on Thursday evening.

Celtic 35 College 28

After losing out 32-31 to Christchurch Girls’ High School in their SuperNet clash on Wednesday evening, Ashburton College faced another tough test against Celtic on their return to Premier Grade action.

College were punished for a lethargic start, and found themselves trailing 13-6 at quarter time as Celtic looked to bring the curtain down on round two in style, but College regrouped in the second and looked to right their wrongs of the opening 10 minutes.

Ella Hurley worked tirelessly at wing defence in slowing Celtic’s pacy midcourt and the third quarter proved to be College’s best.

After trailing 20-11 at halftime, College made tentative inroads into Celtic’s lead and reduced the deficit to seven at three quarter time.

The two sides were evenly matched in the final quarter – both putting up seven goals – but Celtic’s cushion proved enough to see them through on a night that Amanda Ward’s shooting and Anna Holland and Alice Breading’s defensive work proved the difference.

Despite the defeat, College’s results have improved markedly since the opening round, and coach Ange Mitchell is confident of continued progression.

“I think we were always going to improve as we had more time and games together,” she said.

“We were a new group and now we have had the chance to try new combinations and to get all the girls used to playing premier netball – it is a big step up for the girls who have come from lower grades.”

Meanwhile, a fourth victory brings an end to an unbeaten

round for Celtic, with a draw against United their only blemish on a near-perfect record.

Southern 32 United 20

With their premier grade status on the line, United needed to end their winless drought for any chance of avoiding a relegation playoff clash on Tuesday evening – but it wasn’t to be.

Southern got off to a solid start and led United 8-4 at quarter time.

Undeterred, United returned for the second quarter with more urgency, and outscored Southern 7-6 to force their way back into the clash.

But, if the second quarter narrowly belonged to United, there was no doubt which team had the better of the third.

Some pinpoint shooting saw Southern score 13 to United’s four as Anne Gilbert’s side struggled to contain their opponent’s fastpaced and well-drilled attack.

Following a fine offensive display in the third stanza, Southern consolidated in the fourth to hold out for a deserved win and condemn United to a playoff battle against Hampstead under-18 next week.

Southern co-coach Jodene Lowe

was pleased that her side achieved their main objective of staying in the premier grade, and will turn her attention to the business end of the campaign.

“We were very happy with our win last night (Thursday) and achieving our goal of staying in the grade,” she said.

“This round had been a bit up and down for us but we feel we are improving and really looking forward to the next challenge.”

United’s fate will rest on their clash against Hampstead under-18 on Tuesday evening after failing to notch a win this round

After falling to their first loss of the season against Celtic last week, Methven were determined to return to winning form – but Hampstead made the reigning champions work for the win.

After storming to a 10-4 lead at quarter time, Hampstead got the better of the second quarter exchanges to outscore Methven 8-6 as goal shooter Emma Rosevear’s movement and work under the hoop assisted Hampstead’s cause.

Methven, as they have a habit of doing, returned in the next quarter with more energy and outplayed Cindy Meadow’s ladies to put up eight goals and widen the gap.

With a healthy lead in place, Methven looked to see out the tie but Hampstead weren’t about to go quietly in the fourth – netting nine times in an exciting finale of a competitive encounter.

Meadows said the slow start proved costly against an everstrong Methven outfit, but did take plenty of positives from the tie to take into round three.

“The girls played as a team and kept their heads firmly on their jobs,” she said.

“Our through court defence was solid and applied pressure which allowed our WD/GD and GK to restrict their players.

“Whilst we didn’t pick up the win, I’m very pleased with the progress we are making and I look forward to round three.”

■ RUGBY

Retallick the ace in the pack

By Patrick Mckendry As the normally robust Sam Whitelock returns from his hamstring injury to the All Blacks’ starting line-up against Wales, the team’s one constant in the pack, Brodie Retallick, just keeps on going.

Tonight’s test at Westpac Stadium will be his 49th, and the 2.04m lock, who packs a freakish amount of athletic ability and handling skills into his long levers, has to think hard about the last time he missed a test through injury.

“Umm ... I think it was a couple of years ago in Christchurch when I hurt my hamstring midweek ... maybe against England,” he said.

In fact, it was in 2013 in Christchurch ahead of the test against France, but the point is Retallick, still only 25, is virtually bulletproof despite the punishment he puts himself through.

The 2014 world player of the year has an uncanny ability to get through the tough stuff of clearing bodies and pushing in scrums, as well providing a pivot on attack; a giant splitpin who can change the focus of his team’s offence through his big mitts and computer-like brain.

It’s difficult to see any other lock in the world able to provide that sort of direction – with the exception of the fast-rising and very promising Englishman Maro Itoje (and a probable clash between the pair next year during the Lions series is looming),

Brodie Retallick: A massive workhorse for the All Blacks. but Retallick is keen to improve individually and collectively in this second test.

He was part of a pack beaten too often at the breakdown by the Welsh at Eden Park through a slight sluggishness to adapt.

“It’s one of the things we talked about in the review ... that we just got beaten at the breakdown and we were too slow,” Retallick said.

“If we get that little bit more accurate and get that half step quicker then hopefully we’ll get cleaner ball.

“I guess it might have surprised us a wee bit with the amount of ball they did run in terms of the transition between attack and [defence], I think there may have been a little bit of rust – and [a surprise at] the speed at which

test matches are played.

“There were probably a lot of fractures in our ‘D’ line that we were lucky they didn’t catch on to but it’s definitely something we need to be quicker on this week.”

Most players don’t like to talk about injury-free runs in case they tempt fate, but Retallick, who played three of his team’s four World Cup pool matches last year, plus all three playoff matches, has clearly hit on the right recipe.

It’s something Luke Romano, replaced by Whitelock, hasn’t quite got right.

Romano, who suffered a bad groin injury in 2013, and a broken ankle a year later, has had more than his fair share of issues.

“Luke’s had a couple of serious

injuries over the last few years and I’ve been pretty lucky just to have the odd niggle”, was Retallick’s explanation.

Meanwhile Wales hope to take a leaf from not only the All Blacks’ book of ruthless plays, but also the Chiefs’, saying they have to take every opportunity in the second test tonight.

They coped well with the speed of the All Blacks in the first 60 minutes at Eden Park, but still left points on the park and were over-ran in the final quarter.

Against the Chiefs at Waikato Stadium three days later then looked out of their depth as the home side nailed virtually every chance they got.

“We had a lot of possession and territory on Tuesday but we just couldn’t turn it into points,” assistant coach Neil Jenkins said.

“I think the Chiefs had six chances and scored six tries. It just shows us the way to go about it really, the way to be clinical at this level.

“We probably had a few chances against New Zealand as well which we didn’t take.”

All Blacks skipper Kieran Read said after his captain’s run that he believed Wales would continue to attempt an expansive game.

“I think they’ve shown their hand and they were reasonably successful at it,” he said. “We’ll prepare for that and know that we can get better too. We need to bring more intensity and physicality to our approach which will give us more time and space on the ball.”

Crusaders name coach Scott Robertson will replace Todd Blackadder at the helm of the Crusaders coaching team from 2017, the franchise announced yesterday. Blackadder announced at the start of the 2016 season that it would be his last, sparking the process to appoint his successor.

Former Crusaders, Canterbury and All Blacks loose forward Robertson has been confirmed as the successful candidate. “The head coach of the Crusaders is regarded as one of the best jobs in the world, so I couldn’t be more excited to be taking it on.” - NZME

Pink boots draw jibes All Blacks hooker Nathan Harris has revealed he poked fun at new skipper Kieran Read’s pink boots last week. Harris said he wasn’t too sure of the skipper’s new boots after Read changed the ‘black boots only’ protocol of former skipper Richie McCaw. “When we saw Reado’s boots I said ‘Mate are those for your daughters because they look like they are off Frozen or something.”

Baby Blacks to regroup New Zealand Under 20s coach Scott Robertson is a frustrated man.

He has seen his side score 15 tries in the World Rugby Under 20 Championship in England – the most of any team – but fall short of semifinals qualification after being exposed at the set-piece, making too many errors, and failing to adapt to the wet weather. All of which means that the tournament’s best attacking team will miss the top four for the first time since the event’s inception in 2008. It is a bitter pill to swallow after entering with such high expectations of delivering a sixth world crown in nine attempts.

Wallabies meet ref

Dagg back in black a great sight for NZ rugby

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says a representative of the team will meet with referee Craig Joubert prior to the second test, despite declaring two days ago he had no intention of doing so. Cheika told reporters the Australian team had been invited to a meeting yesterday with South African Joubert, considered one of the game’s top officials, which was initiated by the England coaching staff. It comes after the Wallabies were on the wrong end of a 15-8 penalty count in the first test, which gave the tourists the platform to win the match and take a 1-0 lead in the series. - AAP

By andrew Mulligan

A

lot of people didn’t think Israel Dagg was ever going to be an All Black again.

Damian McKenzie was the most exciting player through the first seven games of Super Rugby, scoring a try in each match.

Since becoming an All Black Dagg has shown the confidence and almost bulletproof feeling of being in form.

He was always relaxed and confident and that was what transpired in games.

We would see an impossible angle and he would run it and set up someone, throwing a pass like he did to Ma’a Nonu in the 2011 semi-final against the Wallabies.

But for whatever reason that version of Dagg slowly started to disappear.

Instead it was a more serious almost introverted version of him come game night.

Now it’s back – not to the levels of his first two season perhaps – but it’s back and so is Dagg in black.

But since Dagg returned to action a couple of months ago and

scored two tries, the shackles of expectation and uncertainty of injuries had been released and the energy and confidence is back and so is the Air New Zealand safety video.

It finally isn’t awkward for him watching it.

McKenzie will get his chance with the All Blacks, maybe in Dunedin off the bench.

Without the dropping of Julian Savea it would have been interesting to see if Dagg would’ve been presented with this opportunity.

But he will take it with both hands because he’s earned the right to be starting.

Eddie Jones has been a fascinating watch across the Tasman – more than happy to share a laugh with the Fox Sports guys about the promo of them sitting around and joking about the memorable times they were involved in inflicting heavy and significant defeats on the English.

That has brilliantly backfired and Jones’ grin has become even broader.

Head coach Michael Cheika and the Wallabies will have to respond despite an injury to star

player David Pocock.

The second test is going to be brilliant in Melbourne. Hopefully – for the Wallabies’ sake – the AAMI turf will be able to hold up under the scrum pressure of England.

Looking towards the future, even though Jones has balked at the idea of being involved in the Lions tour here next year, imagine him alongside Warren Gatland and Joe Schmidt.

Would it work chemistry-wise?

It would with a team likely laden with English, Irish and Welsh players.

The ideal merger.

Mergers are in vogue right now and in sports it should be investigated.

The following is hypothetical but ...

Merge NZ Netball with Basketball NZ. Our junior numbers are huge and there’s no better time to exploit the potential and encourage females to start with basketball which can open up scholarship opportunities in the US and professional contracts around the globe.

Let’s see how Aussie netball copes with that.

Let’s merge softball with baseball and create the same pathways and be competitive in the Olympics too.

Softball has a strong and proud history in this country and I would spend time with Dad out at the diamond at the Hutt Rec when I was a kid.

The Black Sox are one of our great teams but baseball just offers more globally.

The Blues and Warriors should look to come together.

Who’d own a stake in who is debatable but the talent pool in Auckland alone is too large for there to be an issue with snaring talent.

More technical aspects of rugby suggest flankers and backs would be the most useful to swap around and help with depth.

Sonny Bill Williams could turn out to smash the Roosters and slow down their pack one week and then straighten the attack for the Blues both at the new waterfront stadium that Eric Watson and New Zealand Rugby help build with government money.

OK, some things are too hard to imagine.

Irish tickets scarce Rugby fans have expressed their frustration at being unable to buy tickets to the All Blacks test against Ireland in Dublin later this year.

They were unable to buy tickets to the November 20 game, and claim the Ireland union appears to have sold tickets to clubs and Irish fans in pre-sales. Supporters of the men in black were forced to buy secondhand tickets, at increased prices.

Jared Jenkin said he was unable to purchase tickets yesterday. “I went to buy All Blacks vs Ireland tickets for Dublin at 10am, in the public sale, and discovered Irish Rugby had pre-sold all the tickets to local clubs and supporters clubs. They lied saying New Zealand Rugby have an allocation.”

College chasing first win

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s 1st XV will welcome Rangiora High School to the showgrounds today in round eight of their UC Championship campaign.

College’s habit of starting slowly was rectified last week when they played host to St Bede’s, but the reigning champions had too much firepower in the end to take a 37-12 win.

Meanwhile, Rangiora had a day to forget when they were thumped 29-0 Shirley Boys’ in their week seven tie.

After sitting out last week, Ali Prescott will return to the fray at centre for College in place of Milsy Stephens-Tahuri, who will take a place on the bench.

There will also be a reshuffle in the outside backs with Iakapo Iakkap starting on the wing, while Western Bartlett returns to first five and Kerry Claydon-Wade dons the 15 jersey at fullback.

Today’s UC-Championship fixture: Ashburton College v Rangiora High School, 12pm, Showgrounds.

Ashburton College: Jonathan Aiono, Elama Touli, Joel Leo, Ashton McArthur, Jack Harrex, Max Stapleton (Capt), Devin Coyle, Joe Todhunter, Liam McCormack, Western Bartlett, Ricus Van Zeyl, Tololima Savaiinara, Alifeleti Prescott, Iakopa Iakopa, Kerry Claydon-Wade. Replacements: Troy Vainerere, Connor Breen, Nuku Langi, Mitchell Woolf, Liam O’Connor Milsy Stephens-Tahuri.

Replacemnets: Jesse Bowring, Doom Ponini, Fletcher Newell, George Blyth, Kalani Whitehouse Caleb Rust.

Ashburton College were downed by St Bede’s last week, but will be determined to pick up their first win of the season over Rangiora today.

Key All Black registers big milestone By steve HepBurn All Black vice-captain Ben Smith will play his 50th test for the All Blacks tonight. Steve Hepburn picks four of Smith’s best tests in the black jersey. v Argentina, La Plata, September, 2013, won 33-15 Smith first played a test in 2009 – against Italy in Milan – but it was not until 2013 that he became a regular in the side.

The All Blacks travelled to Argentina and found an opponent determined to improve on its previous showing in Hamilton.

Smith was on the right wing and, after a quiet first half, scored two tries in the second half.

First he received the ball in his own half off Ma’a Nonu, sprinted through a gap and saw off the covering defence to score.

Then right at the end of the game, he took the ball in the middle of the backline and stood up a couple of defenders to score the try which clinched the game and a bonus point. v South Africa, Johannesburg, October, 2013, won 38-27 A week later, Smith was in Johannesburg, in a game which had almost everything.

Big English midfielder Manu Tuilagi was sprinting away for what looked like a try just before halftime when Smith sailed across and managed to cut him down just a few metres from the line. The whole stadium erupted.

Smith scored early in the second half and he set up a score for Julian Savea.

The game was as good as over although England scored a couple of tries at the end to make it seem close.

Smith was the undoubted star of the night on his home patch.

Ben Smith: A vital cog in the All Black machine for 50 games.

Smith started the All Black ball rolling with an exciting score.

No 8 Kieran Read got clear on the right-hand side and found Smith who cut inside and could not be stopped.

He shrugged off a couple of defenders and scampered over to score the first of nine tries in one of the best games played in recent memory.

Smith was one of the best in a polished All Black performance which managed to contain a Springbok team hell-bent on winning on home soil. v England, Dunedin, June, 2014,

won 28-27 This was the test in which Smith came of an age as a fullback for the All Blacks.

Israel Dagg had been in the position for a couple of years but, with Smith ever on the improve and Dagg crying off with injury, the Green Island man was given his chance.

And, boy, did he take it.

He scored the first try for the All Blacks, set up the second and was a constant menace for the English on his home ground.

But it was his defence that won the game for the All Blacks.

v France, Cardiff, October, 2015, won 62-13 A lot was talked about this game but the All Blacks just ignored all the hype and proceeded to play a total team game.

Smith was to the fore.

As France tried to get back into the match in the first half, Smith launched a high kick and regathered with a spectacular leap outmuscling French No 8 Louis Picamoles. That catch led to a stunning All Black try and they went on the rampage.

Smith was just one of the highperforming cogs in what was a smooth-running All Black machine.

Hansen avoiding verbal skirmishes As Michael Cheika and Eddie Jones continue their mindgames as the respective coaches of Australia and England, which is featuring Cheika’s I-won’t-indulge-in-that-but-actually-I-justcan’t-help-myself descent into Jones’ trap, All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is steadfastly refusing to hand Wales counterpart Warren Gatland any ammunition.

His performance in Wellington on Thursday was a masterclass in avoiding anything approaching controversy as far as Wales and Gatland are concerned.

That’s not to say he wasn’t honest and open, because he certainly was about wing Julian Savea and why he left him out of the squad for the second test, but he just doesn’t appear to feel like prodding a wounded bear when there is no need to.

And despite Hansen’s reluctance to engage, it still makes for an occasionally entertaining performance.

Hansen was asked: “What makes you think [Wales] will be motivated by [Tuesday’s loss to the Chiefs] rather than have their confidence dented?”

He replied: “How would you feel if you were them?”

“Pissed off,” was the reply.

“Yeah, usually that gets you motivated. You’ve answered that in one. Well done.”

Another question, this time from a Wales reporter: “Were you surprised by the margin of defeat against the Chiefs?”

Hansen’s reply: “I think everybody was, including you, I’d say.”

And another query: “Would you say [test centre] Jamie Roberts benefited from playing against the Chiefs?”

The reply: “I’m not sure about that, you’ll have to ask Warren.”

All of which is a world away from what’s going on across the Tasman as England coach Jones, an Australian, continues to fire barbs at Wallabies counterpart Cheika despite, or perhaps because of, his being one test up in the series.

It is an off-the-field scrap adding real edge to an already compelling series.

Jones, who has called Cheika “deceptive”, picked his team for him, suggested Cheika was fabricating David Pocock’s injury and then added the coach would be worried about his team’s set piece and physicality ahead of tomorrow’s second test in Melbourne.

Cheika has said he wouldn’t follow suit but is clearly rattled.

“I think that’s only short-term motivation,” Cheika said.

“Obviously there’d be things said about us from the sidelines or whatever but we want to build some substance to be a consistent team for the long haul.” - NZME

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Blues on Mission Impossible

By Laine CLark Call it NSW’s Mission Impossible.

The Blues’ mission, if they choose to accept it, is to exorcise their Suncorp Stadium demons and defy an all-conquering Queensland on Wednesday night.

If they fail, the NSW State of Origin dream will self destruct.

And quite possibly Blues coach Laurie Daley’s job.

Plus NSW skipper Paul Gallen’s legacy.

No pressure then.

Daley is contracted until the end of 2017.

However, his job could be on the line if Queensland seal a remarkable 10th series win in 11 years in Origin II. How times have changed.

Two short years ago Daley was the toast of NSW as the Blues coach who ended Queensland’s eight-year reign.

Now he is just 80 minutes away from a third series loss in four campaigns.

Only Melbourne mentor Craig Bellamy has survived back-toback series defeats as Blues coach.

“What I do, I love,” Daley said.

“I’m a guy who is very thankful for the position he has.

“I love it and it’s certainly not stressful.”

That may dramatically change next week.

The knives are already out for Daley.

NSW greats Andrew Johns and Phil Gould have been scathing of Daley’s game plans on attack.

The Blues under Daley have averaged just 10 points per game since 2014.

NSW have topped 14 points in a match just once in 10 games in Daley’s tenure.

Last year alone Queensland almost doubled NSW’s series points tally, racking up 81 – their fourth highest total in Origin history - to the Blues’ 42.

If that wasn’t cause for concern enough, there’s also their Suncorp Stadium record.

Queensland have won nine of

Rookie Warriors front-rower Toafofoa Sipley is keen to test himself against Kiwis internationals Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Sam Moa in tomorrow’s clash against the Sydney Roosters.

The 21-year-old will make his second NRL appearance off the interchange bench at Mt Smart Stadium, after impressing in a brief cameo in the round nine win over St George Illawarra.

Sipley is expecting a fired-up Waerea-Hargreaves to lead the way for the visitors as the Tricolours look to bounce back from last week’s embarrassing 46-0 defeat to Melbourne and improve on their lowly 15th-place ladder standing.

Injured Kiwis international and Parramatta captain Kieran Foran fears he may never play rugby league again. Foran, out of action with a season-ending shoulder injury, is weighing up his future as he tries to mend his relationship with partner Rebecca Pope.

Sydney’s Daily Telegraph report that Foran told his manager Paul Sutton that retiring from the NRL was a real possibility as he struggles to overcome mental health issues.

Panthers capture Tamou

Paul Gallen: Has tasted the joys of Origin victory, but is staring at a record 11 series losses. the last 12 home Origins.

Two of those three losses were dead rubbers.

The other in 2014 was when Maroons halfback Cooper Cronk came off with a broken arm in the opening minutes.

It gets worse.

Queensland have won nine of 11 Origin II games in Brisbane, winning six straight since 2002.

The last time NSW kept a series alive by winning game two in Brisbane was back in 1998.

And who can forget the last time they played at Suncorp Stadium?

Daley is probably still trying to after Queensland’s record 52-6 win.

Even Kevin Walters – just one game into his Queensland coaching tenure – admits the Maroons can’t even pretend to claim beloved underdog status.

“No one is expecting them to win, that’s for sure,” Walters said.

The Maroons are assured of their legacy whether they win, lose or draw on Wednesday.

Even a series loss under new

coach Walters wouldn’t tarnish their reputation as Origin’s greatest team.

And there is no let up in sight.

Future stars Ben Hunt, Anthony Milford, Dylan Napa, Cameron Munster and Valentine Holmes are on standby for an ageing Queensland side with seven players on the wrong side of 30.

They are serving 12 month bans for breaking Emerging Maroons camp curfew.

The likes of Daly Cherry-Evans, Will Chambers and Maroons great Billy Slater hope to fight back from injury.

But NSW? The Blues may not dare contemplate it, but they will be back to square one – again – if they cop another series defeat.

If saving Daley’s neck is not enough motivation, ensuring a successful Origin swansong for Gallen surely is for the Blues in game two.

His Origin reputation goes on the line in Brisbane.

The third most-capped Blue with 22 games has savoured just one series win.

NSW’s heart and soul could still be remembered as the man who led a Blues triumph over Origin’s greatest team.

Defeat will condemn Gallen to a record 11 series losses.

The early signs aren’t good for NSW. Cracks have begun to show from Daley judging by his request for referees Gerard Sutton and Ben Cummins not to officiate again after their 6-4 Origin I loss in Sydney. Both were retained for game two.

There have been other distractions.

Cronulla’s Wade Graham was supposed to provide much needed attacking spark when named to make his Origin debut as injured backrower Boyd Cordner’s replacement.

He lasted one training session in NSW camp before copping a one-match suspension for that awful-looking coathanger on Johnathan Thurston.

How will NSW react with the odds stacked against them?

Cue the Mission Impossible theme.

New Warrior up for Roosters’ challenge

By DaviD Skipwith

Foran’s career over?

The hard-running youngster insists he will not be overawed, as the ninth-ranked Warriors search for their third straight victory.

“It’s a big pack but I’m really looking forward to this challenge,” said Sipley.

“He’ll be a big unit, but at the end of the day, he’s got two feet, I’ve got two feet, and it will just come down to who uses them best.”

Having starred for the Warriors under 20s over the last three seasons, Sipley captained the side last year and was on track to break into the NRL before suffering a horrific season-ending knee injury in his first reserve grade appearance.

A gruelling recovery kept him

sidelined for almost a year but he fsays his enforced layoff helped renew his love of the game.

“It was pretty tough, I did my ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), MCL (medial collateral ligament) and PCL (posterior cruciate ligament), so it left me out of the game for quite a while,” he said.

“I’ve had elbow surgery a couple of times, but this was my biggest injury so far.

“It made me miss the game so much that I’d be happy wherever I came back to play, even if it was club footy.

“It’s always been a dream as a youngster to represent the Warriors so the fact I get to play another game, I’m pretty grateful.

“To get a second opportunity

in the NRL is a blessing.”

Away from football, Sipley keeps himself busy completing the final stages of a Bachelor of Physical Education at Auckland University, alongside one of his front-row comrades.

“I’m doing the same degree as Albert Vete. This would have been my last year but I’m training fulltime so studying part-time, picking up two papers each semester.

“Hopefully I can finish this paper during my time here at the Warriors through next year and see where we go from there.”

His diligence and work ethic is appreciated by Warriors captain Ryan Hoffman, who expects Sipley to make further strides in his second outing.

Penrith have lured a second representative forward in as many years after announcing the signing of Kangaroos prop James Tamou until the end of the 2020 NRL season. Less than a week after Tamou told his team-mates at North Queensland that he would be departing Townsville, the Panthers confirmed they had landed the NSW star. “Penrith Panthers are delighted to confirm James Tamou has decided to join the club on a four-year deal commencing in 2017,” the club said in a statement.

Hayne expands options Jarryd Hayne will reportedly look at French and Japanese rugby options before considering a shift back to the NRL, preferably with Parramatta. The former NFL player is currently in a pre-Olympics training camp with the Fiji Rugby Sevens side, where he is battling to ensure his spot in the 12-man Rio roster. And Hayne’s time on the road has taught him one thing: the limits on his next move are no longer restricted to just Australia.

“I like my red wine, so maybe the south of France. But I also like sushi, so it could be Japan.” - AAP

Make up or move on Robbie Farah is being urged to make peace with coach Jason Taylor and play out his NRL career at Wests Tigers – or head overseas. Former Manly coach turned rugby league analyst Geoff Toovey believes it’s time Farah and Taylor settled their differences or the NSW State of Origin hooker moves on. “I don’t know what’s going on at the Tigers, but there seems to be some issues around him (Farah),” Toovey said. “I think as a club legend, he either stays there and someone swallows their pride, they get on with it or he gets out and goes overseas.”

X-factor for Dragons Tariq Sims is promising an x-factor for spluttering St George Illawarra as the NRL’s worst attack takes on the best defence at WIN Stadium tonight. Dragons coach Paul McGregor is set to thrust Sims straight into his starting side to face table-topping Melbourne, just two days after luring the NSW Country Origin representative from Newcastle. McGregor said providing Sims passed the medical test, he’d likely bolster the Dragons’ pack - depleted

by Tyson Frizell’s State of Origin call-up - with his powerhouse mid-season recruit. “He’s certainly a quality player. He was very close to playing Origin footy 12 months ago”, said McGregor.

In brief Rob Loe coming home Tall Blacks centre Rob Loe is the latest signing by the New Zealand Breakers, heading back down under after six seasons overseas.

Loe was a member of the inaugural Breakers Development Academy before spending four seasons at Saint Louis in Division One collegiate basketball. He then plied his trade in Greece and Belgium, before being snapped up by the Breakers. The 6’11” centre is a handy offensive piece, able to spread the floor from deep and operate as a passer out of the post and the top of the key.

Local quartet make SI team

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Four players from the Mid Canterbury area have been selected to the South Island Indoor Bowls team which will meet the North Island in the annual clash for the Kevin Eddy Memorial

Trophy at Christchurch in August.

Local players Simon Thomas, Michael Lawson and Grant Wilson have been selected to the fours, while Matt Markham was picked in the triples.

With no international match

this year, both sets of selectors were free to bring back New Zealand players.

This has seen the dropping of several members of last year’s teams, and the repositioning of others.

For the South Island team,

one interesting selection is the positioning of NZ representative player Ashley Diamond, who has been chosen to skip the men’s pair after picking up his second national singles title at Mount Maunganui last Sunday.

LeBron leads Cavs to Game 6 blowout LeBron James had 41 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds and the Cleveland Cavaliers forced a Game 7 in the NBA Finals with a 115-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors yesterday.

James – who scored 18 straight points during one stretch – finished with 41 for the second straight game in another overpowering performance for the Cavs, who have come back to tie

the best-of-seven series at three games apiece. No team has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA’s championship round.

The Cavaliers can make history, and capture Cleveland’s first

pro sports championship in 52 years, with a victory in Oakland on Sunday.

■ OPINION

Welsh fans should brace for bad news T he Welsh tour promised so much, but it rather looks like turning out to be a damp squib.

The side which was only a few miserly points from making the sharp end of the Rugby World Cup came here with high expectations, and for a while it looked as if they might just give the All Blacks something to think about.

But, as has so often been the case over the past 10, or perhaps 20 years now, the ABs showed in the last 10 minutes why they are repeat world champions, demonstrating to anyone who didn’t know that rugby is a game of 80 minutes, and if you haven’t had the conditioning and mental application belted into you that it’s the case, then you’re going to lose.

So many teams have pushed,

and pushed hard, for 60, 70 or even 79 minutes in recent years, but it’s ingrained into the All Black ethos that it ain’t over till the man blows his whistle, and you give 100 per cent right up to that point.

While the men from Wales look to have fired their best shots, a sometimes stuttering All Blacks machine looks as if it should improve markedly on their first outing for the season, producing a rusty display as they so often seem to do.

Having said that, a northern hemisphere poll that put only two All Blacks in their ‘on form’ team this week does seem just a little harsh.

There is great interest over the form of two of our starting back three last week though.

One was very good, at times

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

brilliant; the other two were either lazy and disinterested, or producing sizzling skills and mediocrity that would embarrass a club player within minutes of each other.

One lost his spot altogether; the powers that be obviously decided that the ‘Jonah factor’ applies to the other; that is the attacking prowess heavily outweighs the defensive deficiencies.

The latent potency of those attacking talents is hardly likely to be diminished in any way with the back three going

into tonight’s clash.

Ben Smith is probably the best fullback in the world, but shifting to the wing doesn’t decrease the All Blacks strike power at all; Israel Dagg has returned to the fray a rejuvenated man and will be just fizzing to get out there, and Waisake Naholo – well, we’ll be hoping his positives are far greater than his negatives.

If any of them get tired then hey, you’ve got Beauden Barrett World Supersub right there.

Add Sam Whitelock returning up front, and there’s a powerful argument that says this game, and the next, will be not something the Welsh fans will be looking forward to.

And that’s without mentioning the debacle in Hamilton on Tuesday, where a Chiefs C team demolished the tourists.

Germany and Poland played to a 0-0 draw yesterday at the European Championship. The Group C match, the first to end in a scoreless draw at Euro 2016, had a glaring miss as its key moment.

Poland forward Arkadiusz Milik miscued a header falling to his knees deep in Germany’s goalmouth, and the ball bounced just wide of Manuel Neuer’s righthand post. Neither team could sustain attacking pressure, and a point suits both after their opening wins.

- NZME

England down Wales Substitute Daniel Sturridge stabbed home a dramatic winner in stoppage time to steer England towards a 2-1 win over Wales and top spot in their Euro 2016 group yesterday. After Gareth Bale struck a wonderful free kick from 30 metres, Roy Hodgson brought on forwards Sturridge and Jamie Vardy to replace the ineffectual Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane.

It was a pivotal change as Vardy grabbed an equaliser in the 56th minute. Then, with England piling on the pressure, Sturridge scrambled his way through the box to fire home the winner from close range.

Russian fans deported The head of a Russian soccer supporters’ association, Alexander Shprygin, is among 20 Russian fans who will be expelled from France in the coming days after violence flared at their Euro 2016 match against England, a police source said yesterday. The 20 are from a group of 43 detained by police in the Marseille region earlier this week. Also yesterday three Russian fans were jailed for one year, 18 months and two years respectively by a Marseille court for planning acts intended to harm people and destroy property.

Cahill at Melbourne Tim Cahill is reportedly on the verge of finally making the leap to the A-League with Melbourne City. Cahill, 36, is currently playing for Hangzhou in China, cut with the club struggling this season, it is unlikely the club will take up an option to retain Cahill him when the transfer window opens on Monday.

Melbourne have been negotiating with the Socceroos forward for the past few months, and a major roadblock was removed last week when Football Federation Australia allowed guest stints from stars to last for a whole season. City, backed by English club Manchester City, have the financial backing that would allow them to meet Cahill’s salary demands.

present,” Bagrie said.

“To be fair though, New Zealand should be growing strongly; the population is rising rapidly courtesy of booming migration.

It’s a case of more bums on seats delivering more demand for goods and services.”

Yesterday’s survey shows a net 10 per cent of the 1000 respondents said they were better off now than they were a year earlier, up from 5 per cent in May and the highest in more than a year. A net 36 per cent of respondents believe it is a good time to buy a major household item, up two points from May. More respondents expected economic conditions New Zealand to improve in the future,

with a net 9 per cent anticipating good times financially for the country over the next 12 months, up from a net 6 per cent a month earlier, while a net 16 per cent anticipated continuous good times over the next five years, compared to a net 13 per cent in May. Consumers predicted an annual rate of inflation of 3.8 per cent over the next two years, up from 3.3 per cent, and a 6 per cent rise in house prices in the same time, from 5.8 per cent a month earlier.

Norris has gained a reputation over his career as a turnaround guy, helping businesses including ASB where he worked for a decade, and Air New Zealand at tough times – in particular during a period where the airline posted an operating loss of $1.4 billion in 2001 before being given an $885 million government

bailout. Norris was brought in to help rebuild the airline and his tenure was seen as a success, which saw him brought in to help another struggling business – the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

During his time there, the company went from having the worst customer satisfaction in the industry to having the best.

June consumer confidence up New Zealand consumer confidence recovered in June, reversing May’s drop, as an improving labour market, house price growth and a stronger New Zealand dollar improved sentiment.

The ANZ-Roy Morgan consumer confidence index rose to 118.9 from 116 in May. The current conditions index gained four points to 122.7, while the future conditions index advanced two points to 116.4.

“The New Zealand economy is chugging along pretty well, despite clear strains in the dairy sector and the unease offshore,” said ANZ Bank New Zealand chief economist Cameron Bagrie.

“The domestic labour market continues to strengthen and Auckland house price love is now being shared by almost all other regions. The RBNZ is still talking about lower interest rates and the stronger NZD, while an issue for exporters, makes those larger consumer purchases or overseas travel more attractive.”

Key risks offshore, such as global debt and ‘Brexit’, are worrying, but momentum and confidence can breed more of the same, Bagrie said, with the index’s confidence composite suggesting a potential growth acceleration towards 4 per cent.

“There are not many economies around the world experiencing that type of momentum at

ployment agreements. New legislation introduced April 1 this year, covering a range of changes including around parental leave, zero hours and record-keeping, made it even more important that employment agreements were updated and correct, he said.

Mr Johnson is among Business Mid Canterbury (BMC) masterclass instructors, and will be taking his next class in October.

It is a legislative requirement to have agreements in place, and non-compliance can attract penalties up to $10,000.

The new Employment Agreement Builder was useful in that it forced such employers to ask themselves what they needed to communicate in employment agreements. However, the facility for variations such as in a clause setting out the hours worked week-to-week, is limited and requires specialist understanding of the law.

And downloading a filled-in contract and then making the variations oneself was potentially dangerous.

Some Mid Canterbury businesses are continuing to operate without employment agreements for their staff, Business Mid Canterbury member Mike Johnson says.

The human resources specialist is welcoming a new employment agreement building website tool issued by business.govt. nz, as it will provide a quick and accessible way for these firms to begin the process of introducing employment agreements.

However, at the same time, Mr Johnson is warning the tool is not going to be suitable for all work situations, as it makes it difficult to build-in variations to hours.

“It’s better to download one of these contracts built online and have something, than nothing,” Mr Johnson said.

The realities of road crashes Erin Tasker

T

he stark realities of a serious road crash played out in front of Ashburton teenagers yesterday.

It was all just pretend – a mock crash for Road Crash Day – an event held annually in the leadup to the Ashburton College ball.

As usual, the students playing the victims did an awesome job of making it seem real. And that’s how it needs to be, to hammer home the message it’s meant to.

It’s an event that’s so realistic that one year the Guardian even received a call from a member of the public to say there had been a bad crash on Middle Road.

It’s all about education and hopefully the Year 12 students watching took what they were meant to from it, because none of them would want to find themselves in a real-life situation like that. Just ask anyone who’s been one of the first on the scene of a crash and watched something like that unfold in real life. It’s something that stays with you forever.

As media, we attend these crashes, and they stick with us too. The first fatality I attended was a triple fatality south of Rangitata one Friday night about 12 or 13 years ago and I remember getting home and not being able to stop thinking about the families that were getting a call, or a knock at the door, possibly at that very moment. It’s a call or a visit that no-one ever wants to get.

There have been many tragedies since, but I remember that one like it was yesterday.

Days like yesterday are about preventing situations like that; situations where families are left reeling because one wrong move, or bad decision, has robbed them of a loved one. And these students are at the age where it all begins.

They’re at the learning-to-drive age and that’s where all the good driving habits need to be embedded into their brains.

Just yesterday afternoon two people died in a crash in North Canterbury; two more names added to a road toll that New Zealand should be worried about.

It’s long, far longer than it should be. And all too often it comes down to one thing – that one bad decision, or one wrong move, or one moment of distraction.

One moment, which can so easily and quickly end a life.

How to ruin a great international reputation

No 86%

Yes 14%

Peter Livingstone

Today’s online poll question Q: Have you ever been in a car crash?

OUT OF SCHOOL

I

n a small town like this, a business reputation is very important because of the the many connections between people and the limited choices for services etc.

Let’s take Robbies – The Undercar Specialists for instance.

Now I haven’t bothered to ask the owner, Robbie, if I could talk about him so with that out of the way let’s get into it.

Robbie looks after our cars.

When I first drove up in our Rover he knew he was on to a winner because, let’s face it, any cheap car built by the British in the 1990s does not have a good reputation. So Robbie has spent some time greasing the greasy bits, lifting the rocker covers, fiddling with my tappets and other stuff that mechanics do.

All I know is Robbie keeps our cars going, gives us an honest estimate of the cost and gets the job done. In my mind he is a good bloke who has built a local business up, employs locals, trains locals and therefore I would endorse his business. That is how you build a reputation.

So what has this got to do with schooling? Well internationally New Zealand has a good reputation for having an innovative curriculum, quality teaching and training and producing teaching material that has been exported.

We have a good reputation overseas – until NZQA started to stuff it up.

Now I say start because like a politician who realises public opinion is against them and then does a u-turn, NZQA could still reverse what it is doing.

Recently the New Zealand Tertiary College announced that one of its courses for early childhood training has been recognised by NZQA. Whoop-te-doo, where is the problem? The problem is the course is online and, get this, there is no requirement for the trainee to complete any practical components to successfully receive a qualification to teach in early childhood.

This course currently applies to overseas students. So NZQA thinks it is okay for a training provider here to offer a qualifica-

Editor, PO Box 77 Robbie Kok tion that involves working with children and you don’t actually have to work with them to gain the qualification!

Would any of you sit down at the hairdressers’ and allow someone to cut your hair if all they had learned had been online and they hadn’t actually cut hair before? Would you buy a coffee from someone who watched a YouTube video, but had not been instructed or supervised to use the machine? No you wouldn’t – so how can NZQA think this is a form of education that can be endorsed?

What were you smoking NZQA? Did the lift not go all the way to the top that day? How can you endorse such a qualification?

While this only applies to overseas students what is preventing them from arriving here, producing such a qualification and applying for jobs.

To make matters worse, the Ministry of Education refuses

to expect 100 per cent of our early childhood teachers to be registered.

To my colleagues in early childhood, you are being bureaucratically crapped upon.

The ministry won’t back you in terms of requiring an upskilled workforce and NZQA is now signalling that your qualification can be gained with no mandatory practical training.

The education and care of our under five-year-old children is critical.

Recently ERO released a report that identified quality early childhood programmes and teaching can have an impact on a child’s success right up until they are 10 years of age.

How is it that ERO can identify the impact of quality early childhood teaching, yet our ministry and NZQA struggle to grasp the fact that some of their actions prevent and begin to dilute that very quality?

Your matters @AshGuardian

Subscribe at www.guardianonline.co.nz

The authority that determines the quality of our teaching, training and subsequent qualification has seriously dropped the ball and, I believe, risked the reputation of education from this country. Our education standards are at risk of being slowly eroded if NZQA allows theory-based programmes.

Imagine a business like Robbies allowing someone to learn how to be a mechanic online and then saying they have a qualification, even though they have never lifted a spanner. What would that tell you about the judgement of Robbie himself? I know what he would say and that can’t be published!

Gunman kills MP A lawmaker who campaigned for Britain to stay in the European Union was killed yesterday by a gun- and knife-wielding attacker in her small-town constituency, a tragedy that brought the country’s fierce, divisive referendum campaign to a shocked standstill.

Jo Cox, a 41-year-old Labour Party legislator who praised the contribution of immigrants to Britain and championed the cause of war-scarred Syrian refugees, was attacked outside a library in Birstall, northern England, after a regular meeting with constituents.

Police would not speculate on the attacker’s motive, but Clarke Rothwell said the assailant shouted “Britain first!” several times. Police did not confirm that account.

Witnesses described a man shooting Cox several times and then stabbing her as she lay on the pavement. Police said they had arrested a 52-year-old man and were not looking for anyone else.

“Our working presumption ... is that this is a lone incident,” said Dee Collins, acting chief constable of West Yorkshire Police.

British security officials said the shooting didn’t appear to be related to international terrorism, but domestic terrorism has not been ruled out.

Residents identified the suspect as Birstall resident Tommy Mair. Neighbours said Mair was a quiet man who did gardening jobs for local people.

Both the Vote Leave and Britain Stronger in Europe campaigns suspended activity ahead of next week’s vote over whether Britain should remain

Dame joins Fast 8 cast Dame Helen Mirren has joined the cast of the latest Fast And Furious movie.

The film star has revealed she agreed to start in Fast 8 - on the condition that she gets a turn behind the wheel herself. “It doesn’t get better than this: Helen Mirren joins the Fast Family in #F8,” the Fast and Furious Twitter account shared.

Dame Helen told an international fashion magazine that she was looking forward to being in a “fun” movie. “I’m about to do Fast and Furious 8. But that’s for the fun of it,” she told Elle magazine.

The Prime Suspect and Elizabeth II star added: “I’ve always rather loved driving.

I said, ‘I’ll be in it, but only if I’m allowed to drive if I do drive in it.’ “But we’ll see.

We’ll see how it transpires.”

A forensics officer takes photos at the scene after Labour MP Jo Cox (inset) was left in a critical condition and later died following being shot and stabbed in an attack in her constituency, in Birstall, West Yorkshire, England, yesterday.

PHOTO AP a part of the 28-member bloc.

Prime Minister David Cameron cancelled a speech and rally in Gibraltar, and flags on British government buildings were lowered to half-mast.

“This is absolutely tragic and dreadful news,” Cameron said.

“We have lost a great star. She was a great campaigning MP with huge compassion and a big heart.”

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said “the whole of the Labour Party and Labour family – and indeed the whole country – will be in shock at the horrific murder of Jo Cox today.”

“Jo died doing her public duty at the heart of our democracy, listening to and rep-

resenting the people she was elected to serve,” he said.

It was unclear whether the attack was directly related to the referendum campaign, which has stirred deep passions as Britons argue over their place in Europe, the scale of immigration and the future of their country.

A 77-year-old man was also wounded, though it was unclear how he sustained his injuries.

Britain’s Press Association news agency quoted a witness, Hithem Ben Abdallah, as saying Cox got involved in a scuffle between two men.

Abdallah said one of the men was fighting with Cox and

then a gun went off twice and “she fell between two cars and I came and saw her bleeding” on the ground.

Rothwell told the BBC he believed Cox had been shot and stabbed multiple times.

“Three times she was shot, the initial time which then she dropped to the floor and two more times,” he said. “The third time he got in close proximity, he shot her around the head area.”

“In the meantime he was stabbing her as well. He was stabbing her with his knife,” Rothwell said.

“He was shouting, ‘Put Britain first!’ He shouted it about two or three times.”

Harry to play Mick?

One Direction’s Harry Styles may be in line to play Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger in an upcoming biopic about the band. According to NME, the film’s working title is Exile On Main Street: A Season In Hell With The Rolling Stones, based on a book of the same name by author Rob Greenfield. It will follow the band during the making of their album Exile On Main Street, and is to be directed by Downton Abbey director Andy Goddard. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but Styles certainly isn’t unqualified.

Cockpit recorder of EgyptAir jet recovered Egypt says it has recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the submerged wreckage of EgyptAir Flight 804, a major breakthrough in the investigation that could help resolve the mystery of why the jetliner plunged into the Mediterranean last month and killed all 66 people aboard.

The announcement came a day after officials said they had found the wreckage of the Airbus A320 and are putting together a map of the debris on the seabed.

Such images will help investigators determine whether the plane broke apart in the air or stayed intact until it struck the water, aviation experts said.

The wreckage of the Paristo-Cairo flight is believed to be at a depth of about 3000 metres. Previously, search crews found only small floating pieces of debris and some human

remains. The cockpit voice recorder was recovered in “several stages” by the search vessel John Lethbridge, operated by Deep Ocean Search and equipped with a Remotely Operated Vehicle, the Egyptian Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee said.

Although designed to survive a crash and fire, the recorder had sustained damage, and only its memory unit

– “the most important in the recorder” – was recovered unharmed, it said, without elaborating on the extent of the damage.

“This is a great achievement in a short period of time,” said Abdel-Fattah Kato, the former head of EgyptAir who is not involved in the investigation.

“We are close to finding out what happened to the plane.”

The device, which records

the pilots’ conversations and other noises from the cockpit, has been taken to the Egyptian port city of Alexandria, where it will be turned over to investigators for analysis. Experts say that it takes nearly 48 hours to retrieve information from the recorder.

Search teams will continue looking for the second socalled “black box” – the aircraft’s flight data recorder, which carries such information as how a plane is functioning, including its airspeed, altitude, the status of key system and the pilots’ actions.

Both devices are kept in the tail of the plane.

The voice recorder provides investigators with cockpit interactions that “add a lot of insight into what occurred,” said Anthony Roman, a pilot and president of the security consultants Roman & Associates.

Did Taylor cheat?

There was said to be “no drama” in their break-up, but Calvin Harris now reportedly believes that Taylor Swift cheated on him with Tom Hiddleston while they were still together. Pictures emerged of the Scottish DJ’s ex passionately kissing Brit actor Tom during a beach trip this week, just two weeks after Calvin confirmed he had split from the singer, reported the Daily Mail.

While at the time Calvin insisted the split was amicable, a source has now told E! News that the star feels “betrayed” and believes Taylor may have been cheating with Tom while they were together.

“He is so angry and feels betrayed,” the insider claims.

Obama embraces mourners Embracing grieving Orlando families and appealing anew for national action, President Barack Obama claimed a threat to all Americans’ security yesterday as a strong reason to tighten US gun laws. Counter-terror campaigns overseas, he declared, can never prevent all “lone wolf” attacks like the one that killed 49 people in Orlando.

Speaking at a makeshift memorial to the victims, Obama said the massacre at a gay nightclub was evidence that “different steps” are needed to limit the damage a “deranged” person set on committing violence can do.

He cheered on Democrats’ push for new gun control measures, including a new ban on assault weapons and stricter background checks.

Although he showed little hope the measures would find much support among most opponents, Obama seemed to be aiming for other lawmakers, perhaps Republican hawks eager to get behind counter-terror campaigns but steadfastly opposed

Philadelphia imposes soda tax Philadelphia became the first major American city with a soda tax yesterday despite a multimillion-dollar campaign by the beverage industry to block it.

The City Council gave final approval to a 1.5 cent-per-ounce tax on sugary and diet beverages. The tax is set to take effect on January 1.

Only Berkeley, California, has a similar law. Soda tax proposals have failed in more than 30 cities and states in recent years, including twice in Philadelphia.

Such plans are typically criticised as disproportionately affecting the poor, who are more likely to consume sugary drinks.

Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney sold the council on the idea with a plan to spend most of the estimated $90 million in new tax revenue next year to pay for pre-kindergarten, community schools and recreation centres.

“Thanks to the tireless advocacy of educators, parents, rec center volunteers and so many others, Philadelphia made a historic investment in our neighbourhoods and in our education system today,” he said.

Audience members react after Philadelphia City Council passed a tax on sugary and diet beverages, in Philadelphia, yesterday.

PHOTO AP The tax, which passed 13-4, was a hard-fought win for the city. The soda industry spent millions of dollars in advertising against it, arguing it will be costly to consumers. The plan also attracted national attention and dollars, with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Texas billionaires John and Laura Arnold, advocates for less

consumption of sugary drinks, funding ads in support.

The American Beverage Association called the soda tax “discriminatory and highly unpopular”.

“The tax passed today is a regressive tax that unfairly singles out beverages, including lowand no-calorie choices,” it said.

gathered outside the Amway Center stadium where he met with families.

Brittany Woodrough came to honour her close friend, 19-yearold Jason Benjamin Josaphat.

“I just pray for his family and I can’t believe this happened,” she said. “Seeing President Obama here makes it real.”

Orlando’s calls for solidarity stood in contrast to the sharpedged political debate in Washington and the presidential campaign trail that continued during Obama’s visit.

Arizona Sen. John McCain, a Republican and frequent Obama critic, accused the president of being “directly responsible” for the shooting because, he said, Obama had allowed the growth of the Islamic State group on his watch.

McCain quickly walked back those comments with a written statement saying he had misspoken and was referring to Obama’s “national security decisions, not the president himself”.

Page rebuffs lawyer Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page demonstrated a deft touch yesterday in deflecting questions aimed at showing he might have lifted a passage for the introduction to the 1971 hit Stairway to Heaven.

Testifying in his defence for a second day in a copyright infringement case, Page showed little interest in comparing his composition with the obscure earlier instrumental work in question, Taurus, by the late Randy Wolfe, founder of the band Spirit.

Page was reluctant to discuss the tempo of the two songs or the structure, thwarting the lawyer representing Wolfe’s estate in the case against Led Zeppelin, Page and singer Robert Plant, as well as several music companies.

“You want to step through it?” attorney Francis Malofiy asked as he tried to get Page to discuss the Taurus sheet music, which is the work protected by copyright.

“Not necessarily,” Page replied, sending a ripple of comic relief through the gallery during an otherwise dull day of testimony in the case. - AP

UN envoys vow to fight for LGBT rights US Ambassador Samantha Power and UN envoys from 16 other countries visited the Stonewall Inn which helped spark the modern gay rights movement and vowed to step up their fight for the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgender people around the world.

Power stood in the darkly lit gay bar that was the scene of a 1969 police raid that set off riots which emboldened gay activists nationwide and said that being LGBT is not only criminalised in many countries but some impose the death penalty if “you’re a man loving a man, you’re a

woman loving a woman.”

“Vigilante violence that is not contested by the state is something that is extremely prevalent,” she added. “We have seen it in so many parts of the world.”

Netherlands’ UN Ambassador Karel van Oosterom said the mass killing in Orlando “shows a

vulnerability that we need to address urgently.”

“Unfortunately we see that worldwide the rights of LGBT people are under pressure, and we need worldwide global action to address this, and the Core Group will be instrumental in doing that,” he said.

In brief Invite regretted Australia’s prime minister said yesterday he would not have invited a senior imam to a multifaith dinner if he had been aware of the Muslim cleric’s anti-gay preaching. Malcolm Turnbull on Thursday became the first Australian prime minister to host an iftar — the meal at which Muslims end their daily Ramadan fast at sunset. Among the 75 mostly Muslim guests was Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman, president of the Australian National Imams Council.

Alsuleiman had said in a sermon uploaded on to social media in 2013 that homosexual acts “are evils actions that bring upon evil outcomes to our society”.

Drinking ban eased The US Navy in Japan has eased a ban on drinking imposed after an American sailor was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Okinawa. US Naval Forces Japan said in a statement that sailors are now allowed to drink on base as well as at their off-base houses.

Other drinking off-base is still prohibited. The restrictions were imposed on June 6 after the sailor drove the wrong way on a freeway and hit two other vehicles, injuring two people in the other cars. - AP

Sanders surrenders Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said Thursday in an address to his supporters that he will work with Hillary Clinton to transform the Democratic Party, adding that his “political revolution” must continue and ensure the defeat of Republican Donald Trump. Sanders said in an address to his political followers that the major task they face is to “make certain” Trump is defeated.

The Vermont senator said he plans to begin his role in that process “in a very short period of time”. - AP

Cliff Richard ‘thrilled’ Singer Cliff Richard says he is pleased with prosecutors’ decision to drop an investigation into historical sexual abuse. He said he is “obviously thrilled that the vile accusations and the resulting investigation have finally been brought to a close”. The Crown Prosecution Service says there is insufficient evidence to prosecute and South Yorkshire Police have apologised for the handling of the case.

US officials expelled The United States said yesterday that Nicaragua has expelled three American government officials.

State Department spokesman John Kirby said the officials were kicked out of the Central American country on Tuesday. He said such action could set back US-Nicaraguan relations on trade and other matters. Kirby said the officials were on temporary duty status in Nicaragua and only recently arrived there. Later, the Nicaraguan government released a statement it said it had sent to the State Department about what it called an “unfortunate incident”. It said two of the US officials expelled were conducting anti-terrorism and anti-drug work in the customs field without the approval of the Nicaraguan government. It did not reference the third official.

18/6 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You want important things, but you want frivolous things, too, and those are the things that may take precedence, because you’re fun like that. As you indulge in the lighter side of life, big issues are being resolved.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): People around you have money to spend, and you’re just the one to tell them where to spend it. You have ideas that will create a win-win for everyone. And your ability to sell those ideas is particularly strong now.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Theoretical information excites your intellect, but how can you apply it to your life? You want change, you want improvement and you want hands-on training. Bottom line: You need a teacher who’s done this before.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll do more because you know there’s more that needs doing. Also, you’ll hold out for the best, and when you finally get to taste the thing you want, it will be wonderful.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): If all you had to do was amuse yourself, how would you get that done today? Something will happen to change the game and make you think about your life a little differently.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’re willing to push things a little further than you were, because you sense a relationship won’t grow until after a shakeup. Ten percent more honesty will bring the healing.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It’s time you claimed what you’re good at, because others are not going to.

You’re going to have to point the way. Maybe it’s arrogance, or maybe just marketing.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Your heart sends warm wishes and welcoming affection. Your head is going to need a little longer to get around to all these changes. Go gentle. It will all happen in good time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Those who follow the crowd will end up in crowded places. You’re a leader in this regard, so mostly you’ll have the crowd rallying behind you.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Cherish the people in your life who make you more courageous because they feed you hope and help you feel good about all you’re bringing into the battle.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Perhaps you feel slightly reckless, but paradoxically, this is just the kind of swagger that lets you take hold of what’s yours in this world and use it to the full advantage.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Losses can be blessings, pains can be sources of great strength and the opposition is, of course, the best reason to improve and become masterful. You’ll find yourself grateful.
