P2

EA Networks to put up a fight

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

EA Networks will fight the Electricity Authority to temper transmission price rises for its customers in Mid Canterbury.

The authority wants to introduce a new charging regime across the country and Ashburton District power consumers could be hit with a $100-a-year rise.

The district has the lowest line charge for residential households in the country based on a national winter peak.

The new charging system will look at 100 peaks in individual areas, which includes the summer peak demand in Mid Canterbury driven by irrigation.

EA Networks chairman Gary Leech said it could be argued that

Ashburton had enjoyed lower prices over the years because its peak loads were in summer, but it was clear the authority was changing the way it calculated transmission costs and price rises were coming for consumers.

At the Ashburton company’s AGM this week, Leech said EA Networks was lobbying the Government to make sure consumers

in the district were not unfairly penalised by the changes.

EA Networks posted an aftertax profit of $5.9 million for the last financial year, with revenue of $47.1m. It gave $4m back to consumers in rebates.

■ LOCAL BODY ELECTIONS

Different approaches to mayoral campaigns

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Children at Netherby School were treated to a musical performance with a difference yesterday when the New Zealand String Quartet performed an interactive piece that took the youngsters on a magical tour through a haunted house. Cellist Rolf Gjelsten spins a tale through string and voice.

■ NETHERBY SCHOOL

Weaving a story using cello strings The audience might have been small, their ages even smaller, but when members of the New Zealand String Quartet stopped off at Netherby School it immediately gained dozens of fans.

The group entranced the

children as they demonstrated the magic of music to tell a story; with voice and string they wove the tale of two children and a haunted house.

The quartet’s Ashburton performance was the brainchild of itinerant music teacher Paula

Green, who has students from Netherby, Ashburton Christian School, Ashburton Intermediate and Ashburton College.

Netherby was chosen as the performance venue because it has 10 violin students on its roll, Green said.

EA Networks to fight price rises From P1 Chief executive Gordon Guthrie said the company had been making a huge investment in the network to accommodate load growth and improve security and that would not be wasted as solar energy, electric vehicles and large scale batteries came into the picture in the next 20 years.

The company would not have to build its network for peak demand, but would be able to

manage its peaks with battery power.

He said the district’s load growth would continue to grow, along with the population.

Shorter-term influences including farmers using solar power or pressurised piped water to run their irrigators.

EA Networks also reported huge growth in its fibre network as more people switched to online viewing. Its investment in the joint partnership

with Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation increased to $19m, on the back of big demand for water in stage two of the development.

This week’s annual meeting also paid tribute to the late Eddie Glass, father of the co-operative company, who died last year.

“I think we should record in our minutes our gratitude to Eddie for his contribution and development of the company over the years,” Leech said.

As two candidates vie for the Ashburton mayoralty, the race for the district’s hot seat could be fought over two very different platforms and in two very different styles.

Sitting mayor Angus McKay and councillor Donna Favel are going head-to-head in a campaign that could, for the first time in the district’s history, see a potential mayoral campaign that includes a cluster of supporting councillor candidates.

This happens in other areas, both formally and informally, Ashburton District Council chief executive Andrew Dalziel said.

It has not been a feature of Ashburton’s local body elections in the past, but it was clear that there were several candidates who did have links to one association, although this did not necessarily mean they would be campaigning under the same banner, Dalziel said.

Several candidates this year have opted to make an affiliation declaration on their nomination form but none have declared they are running under the same banner.

McKay has always run a solo campaign while Favel has a strong affiliation to the Ashburton Citizens Association, as have several candidates for the council’s urban ward.

From the moment nominations closed it was clear her campaign will have a strong social media content.

She has her own mayoral Facebook page and is an active poster on the Ashburton Citizens Association and Bung the Bore – New Zea-

land pages. The opening gambit in her campaign might have been played out on social media, but that won’t be her sole focus, Favel said.

She might have an interest in several community groups, but it was not her intention to link with any candidates who also had links to any of those organisations.

“I’m a fan of democracy and anyone who is willing to stand, I’m willing to share information with them but I haven’t been approached and I haven’t approached any other candidates. I put up events I know that are coming up and I invite other candidates who use Facebook to come to those.”

Some candidates might identify as having similar views over certain issues but at the end of the day they were all independent and were all individuals, she said.

McKay is playing his campaign strategy close to his chest, but said it would be similar to the campaigns he had run in 2010 and 2013.

That campaign would be a broad brush one that would ensure he met as many people as possible face-to-face, he said. It would also be run across a number of mediums.

“I won’t be deliberately setting out to garner support from council candidates, but I know I have support from a number of community groups. I’m a strong believer that a council should not be run along party lines, I’m more interested in having councillors who can air all views of the community around the council table. I’ve done no deals,” he said.

Mid Canty doctors swamped

■ ALLENTON SCHOOL

Library new entrants’ home By linda ClarkE

linda.C@thEguardian.Co.nz

Allenton School is teaching its new entrants in the school library as its roll nears capacity.

Principal Graham Smith said the school was creatively managing its students and yesterday was just three short of the point when it could apply for another classroom.

The roll should easily reach that in the next two months.

He said the biggest growth area was in the junior school. With just 40 Year 6 students leaving at the end of the year, the leavers would be quickly replaced with new entrants in 2017 and the roll is expected to remain at that level for at least the next few years.

New entrants starting in Term 3 have begun their school life in the library, while part of the school

“

It was unacceptable that any school should have to teach students in a library

hall is also being used as a classroom.

Smith said it was unacceptable that any school should have to teach students in a library and concerning the school had to follow Ministry of Education protocol before seeking more classrooms.

“We are compromising the learning of our children by using the library. No school should have to use their library as a classroom.”

Thinking

Some books will be distributed to classrooms while the library is out of action and the school also plans to make regular visits to the Ashburton Public Library.

Smith said classes would have to visit two at a time, with each trip by bus expected to cost $100.

“And it means less learning time because the children are off site.”

Allenton is eligible for 16 classes based on its roll.

“But we are running our 18th classroom and it is just where the

spread is with more juniors.”

New entrant teacher-student ratios are 1:18, with Year 1-2 1:23, Year 3-4 1:26 and Year 5-6 1:29.

Smith said it was important to students’ learning that class sizes remained small.

He said once the capacity number was reached, the Board of Trustees would begin lobbying the Ministry of Education for more classrooms and the replacement of pre-fab rooms that were very far from modern.

In a newsletter to parents, Smith said the board was actively trying to address the issue as the school wanted to provide educational opportunities and spaces that all children should be entitled to.

The school will be under the microscope next week when the Education Review Officer (ERO) undertakes a school review.

Newcomers to the Ashburton District are struggling to find a general practitioner in the area.

Statistics for April and July from the Rural Canterbury Primary Health Organisation show that for the area, excluding Methven, show for one GP, there were 2067 and 2077 enrolled patients, respectively.

For the total enrolled population in April, of 27,081, there were only 13.1 full time equivalent GPs. National statistics show that as of July 2016, 94 per cent of the New Zealand population, or 4,407,263, are enrolled with a Primary Health Organisation.

Canterbury lags slightly behind, with 93 per cent of the total 538,830 population enrolled with a PHO. Doctor Mick Tarry, Mid Canterbury GP spokesperson and doctor at Sealy Street Medical Practice, said he was concerned with the struggle some people had around registering with a GP. He said each practice in the region was trying to address this issue in their own way within the limits of their staffing resources.

Sealy Street Medical Practice has about 5400 enrolled patients and three doctors, which boil down to around 1800 to one.

Sophie Claire, co-ordinator of Newcomers Network said this was definitely something people new to the area were struggling with.

She said for people who are on work permits with less than six months remaining are not able to register with a doctor.

Language barriers also posed a challenge as the registration process can be quite long, and when people schedule an appointment they usually have to wait two to three weeks, by which time they are no longer ill.

Claire said there were not enough doctors in Ashburton and the surrounding areas, meaning people were very often referred to Christchurch or Timaru.

Methven students get into Olympics mode Methven Primary School’s playground and sports field became an Olympic arena this week as students donned their sports gear and ran their own mini-Olympics. The students launched the event with an opening ceremony that came complete with athletes’ parades and carefully choreographed performances. And in the true spirit of the Olympics, five groups of students dressed in either blue, yellow, black, green or red, formed the five Olympic circles.

■ PRESBYTERIAN SUPPORT

Gap puts families at risk

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

With less than six weeks to run in the life of the family support project Parents as First Teachers (PAFT), Ashburton’s service providers fear local families will fall through the welfare cracks when the service is canned.

The Government earlier this year signalled it was cutting funding for the 25-year-old project and would be replacing it with a new Family Start package.

But while most areas of New Zealand already have plans in place for the new service, Ashburton appears to have been forgotten, Presbyterian Support manager Jackie Girvan says.

es that the programme would be established and funded in Ashburton.

Instead it said support would be given to providers to transition clients to alternative services, based on the level of need.

This could include referrals to Family Start or Children’s Teams where appropriate, or direction to alternative support, for example, through the Ministries of Health or Education, Plunket, Well Child, Whanau Ora or Strategies for Kids Information for Parents (SKIP).

The nearest Family Start providers to Ashburton were the West Coast and Dunedin.

In a statement to the Guard-

PAFT currently services 96 families in Timaru, Selwyn and Ashburton, with 32 of those families in the Ashburton District.

While Selwyn has been told it will be part of the Christchurch Early Start programme, neither Timaru nor Ashburton had received information on when, or if, either a Family or Early Start programme would be available to their clients, Girvan said.

“We’d love to have this programme in Ashburton, it’s an excellent programme, but it seems Ashburton and Timaru have been left out and we’re feeling frustrated,” she said.

The Ministry of Social Development could give no assuranc-

ian, an MSD spokesperson said the expansion into Family Start nationally would result in an additional 1250 children receiving help.

Its expansion, the spokesperson said, would result in near national coverage of the new programme.

It could not give details, however, about the roll out into Ashburton.

“The exact details of this are dependent on negotiations with Family Start providers. These negotiations are under way and PAFT providers will be advised about the outcome as soon as possible,” the ministry spokesperson said.

Pre-trial arguments have delayed the trial of an Ashburton man accused of assaulting a police officer last year. The jury trial of Henare Te Mana Toa Carroll was due to get under way in the High Court sitting in Timaru on Wednesday. He has denied two charges of injuring with intent and one each of aggravated assault and causing grievous bodily harm with intent to injure.

The Crown alleges Carroll and his associates were involved in a series of assaults, including a police constable, in the Ashburton CBD in the early hours of February 1 last year. A new trial date will be set on September 19. Co-accused Verokia Akama admitted assault charges involving five complainants, ahead of the scheduled start of the jury trial in the Timaru District Court on Monday. Two others involved in the offending defended lesser charges in the Ashburton District Court last week, where Judge Joanna Maze reserved her decision.

New director named EA Networks has welcomed Christchurch director Paul Munro to its board. He replaces Murray Frost. Munro is the new chief executive of Christchurch City Holdings and a retired partner at Deloittes. He is also a retired director of Orion New Zealand and a director of Central Plains Water and a member of the University of Canterbury Students Association Advisory Board. Munro was one of 20 candidates shortlisted for the EA Networks job and one of four interviewed. EA shareholders committee spokesman Chris Robertson said the calibre of the final four was outstanding and indicated the Ashburton company had a profile on the national stage.

Armed holdup Two masked men armed with a sledgehammer broke into a Christchurch bakery yesterday, the latest in a spate of armed holdups across the city. The robbers used the sledgehammer to smash through a door of Shirley Bakery on Hills Rd about 1am. They targeted two tills before leaving the shop after being confronted by a staff member. The staff member was not injured in the robbery, police said.

■ FONTERRA

In brief

Boost for dairy farmers Fonterra will pay out an early dividend with signs of a long awaited recovery in milk prices on the horizon.

Yesterday, co-operative chairman John Wilson confirmed the decision to pay out a further 10 cents per share of its previously announced forecast dividend of 40 cents per share, to help alleviate stress in the midst of calving.

It had already brought forward an earlier dividend payment during the last financial year in an effort to deliver as much cash as quickly as possible to its farmers.

Wilson said the intention was to always declare a further dividend in August, subject to financial performance supporting the forecast earnings per share range of 45 to 55 cents.

“We are seeing early signs of

Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund unit holders will receive a distribution payment of 10 cents per unit.

The co-operative and Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund will continue to offer dividend and distribution re-investment plans, the strike price at which shares/ units are issued incorporating a discount of 2.5 per cent.

“There is no change to our forecast earnings range or our forecast total dividend of 40 cents per share for the 2016 financial year.

“We will confirm our end of season Farmgate Milk Price and total payout as part of our annual results announcement on 22 September.”

Arts funding available through Creative Communities fund If you are involved with or working on a project that has an arts or cultural focus, the Ashburton District Council has money that could have your name on it.

The council is calling for applications for round one of its

Creative Communities funding for this year and it has a pool of money given by Creative New Zealand that is designed to fund projects such that involve theatre, visual, multi-media, dance, traditional arts, craft and music.

Further information about the grant and funding application forms and criteria can be found on council’s website www. ashburtondc.govt.nz or from the council office. Applications close on September 15 at 5pm.

The scheme recognises the unique place of local arts projects in communities.

Applications are assessed by a local committee who have an extensive background in the district’s varied arts community.

Despite its record high property prices and traffic issues, Auckland has been ranked the eighth best city in the latest rankings released by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

Auckland improved one spot from last year, and is now ranked ahead of Helsinki and Hamburg.

Melbourne remains the most liveable of the 140 cities surveyed, followed by the Austrian capital Vienna.

OUR VIEW

More than a name to make a change Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

A

name might be important, but it’s what an organisation does that is the critical

thing.

Child, Youth and Family has been reviewed and not just found wanting, it was found to be in absolute disarray, too often failing the vulnerable young people it had been established to help.

That an overhaul was needed was never questioned, but what came with that overall was the drive to get rid of the cumbersome CYFS tag and come up with a new name, one that would be user friendly.

There was plenty of debate around the Vulnerable Children tag, but that went nowhere; that’s the organisation’s new name – that or Oranga Tamariki.

It’s a bit of a fizzer, but more important than the name, let’s hope the overhaul of the agency itself isn’t also a fizzer, a token attempt to give the old CYFS a facelift.

No question, the focus of the new agency is the right one – prevention, intensive intervention, care support services, transition support and youth justice services – but what do each of those actually mean?

Again, no point in having the right divisions if the substance below the title isn’t solid.

Righting the multiple wrongs that were part of the CYFS package will take a huge investment of time, money and having the right people in the right places.

It will also require a serious look at the way in which decisions were made, the foundations on which beliefs were built.

New Zealand’s human history is littered with horror stories of CYFS decisions that went wrong, where the price was paid in a human life.

Has this been a re-branding exercise, or has it been a total rebuild? Only time will tell, but the price of getting it wrong is too high.

Anne Tolley wears the title Minister of Vulnerable Children and she’s making the right noises, saying the new ministry will need strong leadership to implement the massive change required in both practices and culture. But what it will also require is a new wave of frontline staff who are well equipped, well trained and who have the life skills, the compassion and the ability to instinctively know what is right, rather than what the rule book says is right.

aybe I’ve missed the updates but I get the feeling that the whole parking issue in the CBD has stalled somewhat.

Maybe we are waiting till after the local body elections for any action or decisions. I think the one-hour free parking in town is just a start for rejuvenating the heart of our shopping district. We need more ideas, out-of-the-box thinking to attract people back to our heart and the East Street area.

Maybe ideas like this one from a town in Sweden: Why stroll across the street when you can duck walk like rock ‘n’ roll icon Chuck Berry?

Haparanda in northern Sweden has erected a series of new street signs encouraging pedestrians to hop, skip, and even play air guitar as they cross the road.

Other signs depict jive dancing and Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks. The initiative also features direction signs for destinations near and far, including one pointing the way to the Midnight Sun and another toward Quality

of Life. Haparanda Town Council says it’s just part of a comprehensive plan launched last year to rejuvenate the town centre. The makeover has already brought new businesses into the oncerundown area.

Olympics

I have enjoyed the Olympics more than I thought I was going to.

Although I have found it hard to keep up with some of it. By the time you finish flipping through 47 Pop Up channels, you’ve normally missed something pretty cool.

I have loved the fact that yet again for the size of our country we have punched well above our weight.

I’m proud of all of our medal winners. They are all class acts.

Talking class acts, how amazing was the sportsmanship between Kiwi runner Nikki Hamblin and American Abbey d’Agostino who were caught up in the dramatic incident where they both took a tumble in the 5000m heat.

They helped each other to their feet and embraced at the end of the race in what will be the lasting memory for many from the Rio Games.

I have enjoyed the Olympics so much, that I have come up with some “household Olympic” events just to really get into the spirit of the Games: ■ The Netflix marathon.

Manda and I are a shoe-in to secure gold in this event.

■ Carrying as many groceries as possible so you don’t have to make a second trip.

If one channels a Bulgarian weightlifter, there’s a very good chance of a car boot clearance.

■ Catching your phone mid-air after it falls off the kitchen bench. The common man’s

equivalent to rhythmic gymnastics (catching that ribbon).

■ Sprinting out of work at 5.30pm. Obviously the Friday sprint is very similar to the men’s 100m final.

■ Hitting the snooze button. Like so many Olympic events, speed and reaction time is crucial.

■ Emptying the dishwasher time trials. Discus skills could be an advantage here, hopefully it doesn’t turn into skeet shooting.

Of course there are certain times throughout the year when a bloke needs to hop, skip and jump around his good lady or he could be for the high jump.

Wildfire’s ferocity extreme A wildfire with a ferocity never seen before by veteran California firefighters raced up and down canyons, instantly engulfing homes and forcing thousands of people to flee, some running for their lives just ahead of the flames.

A day after it ignited in brush left bone dry by years of drought, the blaze had raged across 40 square miles, though by the end of the day the first foothold was gained and more than 1500 firefighters had the blaze 4 per cent contained.

Authorities could not immediately say how many homes had been destroyed, but they warned that the number will be large.

“There will be a lot of families that come home to nothing,” San Bernardino County Fire Chief Mark Hartwig said after flying over a fire scene he described as “devastating.”

“It hit hard. It hit fast. It hit with an intensity that we hadn’t seen before,” he said.

No deaths were reported, but cadaver dogs were searching the ruins for anyone who was overrun by the flames.

The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately known.

Five years of drought have turned the state’s wildlands into a tinder box, with eight fires currently burning from

“In my 40 years of fighting fire, I’ve never seen fire behaviour so extreme,” Incident Commander Mike Wakoski said a day after the latest blaze broke out in Cajon Pass, a critical highway and rail corridor through mountain

Drake and Eminem have knocked down rumours of bad blood by appearing on stage together at Drake’s show in Eminem’s hometown of Detroit. The rappers have been the topic of online conversation this month amid a beef between Drake and Joe Budden, who is a part of Eminem’s Shady Records.

Drake told the crowd Eminem was the “greatest rapper” to ever get on a microphone. The two also posed for a picture posted on Eminem’s Instagram.

■ FRANCE

Train in southeast France hits fallen tree A regional train hit a tree that had fallen on the tracks in a rural area of southeast France, injuring six people, one of them seriously, rail and local authorities said.

A spokeswoman for the local prefecture in the Herault region said that the accident happened following an afternoon hail storm between the towns of Saint-Aunes and

Lunel, near the southeastern city of Montpellier.

The train did not derail.

The spokeswoman said the seriously injured person was evacuated by helicopter. Other passengers were taken to a community centre in SaintAunes.

The national rail operator, SNCF, tweeted that one person was seriously injured and five

others were lightly wounded.

The prefecture spokeswoman said rescue workers helped evacuate passengers and local train traffic was stopped between the cities of Montpellier and Nimes.

Following the accident, two other trains were stopped in the region, including one that was travelling from Paris to Montpellier, the prefecture

said in a statement.

The stranded passengers were given drinks and food by SNCF teams, and Red Cross rescuers were dispatched to assist them if needed, it said.

A replacement bus service was set up between cities and main towns in the region during the busy summer travel period.

Famously private Kristen Stewart has branded her long-term romance with ex Robert Pattinson “gross” in a revealing interview about her love life. The 26-year-old dated her Twilight co-star for several years before their high-profile split in 2013, a year after the actress was pictured kissing married director Rupert Sanders. “People wanted me and Rob to be together so badly that our relationship was made into a product. It wasn’t real life anymore,” Stewart told The New York Times Style Magazine. ”And that was gross to me. It’s not that I want to hide who I am or hide anything I’m doing in my life. It’s that I don’t want to become a part of a story for entertainment value.”

Raw exports spark rally

■ KIWISAVER INVESTMENTS

Funds ‘breaking bomb laws’ Concern over cluster munitions – bombs which scatter hundreds of bomblets to more effectively saturate an area with lethal shrapnel – catalysed in 2008 with an international agreement to ban their use.

The chief problem with the weapons is the persistence of unexploded bomblets that remain a lethal hazard for civilians long after conflicts have finished.

New Zealand signed up to the convention banning their use, and also passed enabling legislation in 2009 including specific provisions forbidding investments in cluster-bomb makers.

Auckland University associate professor Treasa Dunworth said the findings KiwiSaver providers were making such investments were “really shocking” as the law was unambiguous.

“It definitely breaches the language of the Act,” she said.

Wellington lawyer Graeme Edgeler was more blunt about the legal questions the in-

construction boom in Auckland. The share price has rallied strongly since the result.

The latest Global Dairy Trade auction surprised markets with a massive jump in prices.

Dairy futures were pointing to a rise, however, the 12.7 per cent increase in the average price was much higher than what was forecast. In really positive news for New Zealand farmers, the price of whole milk powder made the biggest gain, rising 18.9 per cent from the previous auction. This represents the second consecutive gain and a return to levels not seen since last October. The latest rise bodes well for dairy farmers and gives weight to Fonterra’s current milk price forecast payout of $4.25 per kilo of milksolids.

Unemployment in New Zealand fell in the second quarter of the year to 5.1 per cent. This was below the first quarter reading of 5.2 per cent and much lower than the June 2015 quarter which showed 5.5 per cent unemployment. A positive trend that has emerged is that unemployment for women has greatly decreased from 6.2 per cent in June 2015 to 5.4 per cent this quarter.

In terms of regions, Northland remains the region with the highest level of unemployment,

rising to 10.6 per cent. Canterbury is the lowest at 3.2 per cent, although saw a slight rise.

The US Federal Reserve minutes were released this week to give colour on the latest decision to hold rates steady as well as insights on when the next rate hike may occur. In the lead up to the release, there were mixed messages from members of the Fed with one proposing a change to inflationary targets, which would enable the Fed to hold rates lower for longer, while the following day another member commented that the central bank would be ready to hike rates as early as September. With each change in direction the US dollar fluctuated and equities markets saw plenty of volatility.

The indecision was verified with the release of the actual minutes which showed that the committee is divided on whether or the economy was ready for another rate rise this year. It was agreed that further information was required before they could make a decision. Following this, equity markets saw a small rally, while the US dollar strengthened.

Oil prices are again a hot topic for markets as prices have continued to fluctuate with the changing dollar and supply and demand information. Reports have shown production from OPEC nations is reaching record levels while inventories are also high.

Reporting season dominates

eporting season has dominated local headlines as it kicks up a notch both here and in Australia. After a slow start last week, there has been a plethora of companies reporting both half and full year results.

Markets have been pulled up and down by various results as those companies that have missed expectations have been punished while those that have done well have been rewarded with solid share price gains.

Port of Tauranga was one of the most notable of the New Zealand companies to report this week, as the company announced a restructure along with its result.

The company will undertake a 5 for 1 share split in October. This will be done in conjunction with a capital restructure programme, which includes a return of capital to shareholders.

The result itself was less exciting as the company missed its full year guidance as a downturn in log exports saw profits decline.

However, strong container volumes somewhat offset this weakness. Following the result there was a spike in the price, however this was pared back later in the day.

Fletcher Building had a strong result this week, announcing its full year 2016 earnings rose sharply. The company posted a 71 per cent increase in full year profit, meeting guidance. An improved performance in its Australian division and good gains in its New Zealand offering helped to push the company higher.

Importantly, the company is forecasting a strong uplift in earnings for 2017, driven by the

Tegel shares have rallied sharply after New Zealand’s biggest chicken producer announced it had secured an agreement to export raw poultry products to Australia.

The Auckland-based company said its exports to Australia – worth $A70 million ($74m) in the last financial year, representing market share of 1 per cent – had previously been limited to fully-cooked products.

Australia’s total poultry market is worth around $A7.1 billion, according to Tegel.

“This regulatory change opens up significant additional export opportunities for Tegel into the Australian market, although revenue upside cannot yet be quantified,” the firm said.

“Tegel will immediately apply for new import permits and looks forward to the significantly increased business opportunities this change will present.”

Tegel shares, which were placed in a trading halt yesterday morning ahead of the announcement, recently traded up 8.5 per cent at $1.78.

Tegel exports to a number of other markets including the Pacific Islands and the Middle East.

The Minister for Commerce Paul Goldsmith has received advice this morning that gives “some indications” that laws banning cluster bombs have been breached by KiwiSaver providers investing in companies making the controversial weapons.

In Parliament yesterday afternoon Goldsmith faced questions from Green Party MP Julie AnneGenter over revelations this morning that hundreds of thousands of New Zealander had unwittingly invested in companies making cluster bombs.

“I’ve asked for advice on that and there is some indication that the law may apply but that’s for the appropriate enforcement authority to decide whether there’s been a breach of the law,” Goldsmith said.

Goldsmith drew a contrast between issues of ethic and law.

“We expect KiwiSaver providers to follow the law, but we believe individual investors are best placed to make moral judgements,” he said.

■ HONDA HR-V AWD

Intelligent real-time AWD T

he Honda HR-V AWD is available with Real Time AWD with the Intelligent Control System to help provide power to all wheels with traction in low grip driving conditions such as snow, rain and unpaved road surfaces.

The electronically controlled all wheel drive system provides a fast, intuitive initial response minimising the impact on fuel efficiency.

The clever system also improves everyday acceleration by driving all four wheels during take off.

Handling is improved by vectoring power across all 4 wheels during spirited driving.

Combining a high output with low fuel consumption, the 1.5 litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine produces 96kW at 6600 rpm and maximum torque of 155Nm at 4600 rpm.

Honda’s VTEC (Variable Timing and Lift Electronic Control) and VTC (Variable Timing Control) technologies combine with direct injection, strong tumble intake ports and an optimised piston shape to provide benefits in output and efficiency.

Weight savings are made

through a reduction in weight of the crankshaft and the adoption of independent bearing caps.

The HR-V AWD utilises a unique centre mounted fuel tank layout that enables the second row Magic Seats to fold completely flat to the floor, creating a more spacious and versatile interior package.

Driving efficiency, handling performance and cabin quietness are further aided by an aerodynamic shape and a lightweight yet rigid body structure with significant noise insulating materials and design features.

The body utilises Honda’s next generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure for enhanced frontal collision protection.

Over 20 per cent of the HR-V AWD body is composed of advanced ultra high strength steel for improved rigidity that enhances collision protection.

This inner frame, in conjunction with increased adoption of high tensile steel has also resulted in a lighter and stronger chassis.

The extra rigidity supports more linear suspension operation, giving the driver a more connected and responsive drive.

Premium European technology features inside the HR-V’s AWD shock absorbers to make rough roads more comfortable and spirited driving firmer.

Two damper rates in one mean no compromise between sporty handling and ride quality.

The core technology contained within the amplitude

To improve the HR-V AWD ride and handling during more engaging driving experiences, the second piston operates to provide additional damping force.

This technology was developed

by German company ZF Sachs for Acura in the United States for their high-end vehicles.

■ MUSTANG GT FASTBACK

Take the long way home

FINALE

FORD MUSTANG GT FASTBACK

Driving the Mustang is infectious! It’s all about its great combination of engine, 6-speed auto, steering involvement and its chassis. It’s affordable proof that motoring just for the heck of it can still be really rewarding, albeit with the V8 and a lead foot, not so fossil fuel friendly!

I

t’s been a winter of simple motoring pleasures.

Even more so now there’s decent snow on the mountains and driving through the Mid Canterbury countryside is a real treat, especially so in a Mustang GT. Because this car just encourages you to keep on driving for the sake of it, going nowhere in particular and taking the longest way home just to enjoy the experience.

And then, as the sun goes down celebrating the drive in front of the log fire with a glass of Barossa Valley Mustang Sally Shiraz.

By now it will be obvious this Mustang delivers all the necessary smile on the face sensations when driving it.

Even though, when cruising on the open road at 100km/h, there’s no sensation of speed, it feels as though you are doing about 60km/h!

But you sure do enjoy, both the muscle-car sounds and rapid manner it arrives at the open road limit (from standstill this

happens in five seconds).

Then you can enjoy the °relatively long drive necessary in our patch to find some twisting roads, where the GT responds effortlessly, powering out of the corners with a touch of oversteer and the rear 255/40 R19 Pirellis biting in as you straighten up and accelerate away.

Right from the start these sixth generation Mustangs were engineered for the global market and available in right-hand drive.

Much has already been written about them, so most people know there’s a choice of two engines, either the 5-litre, quadcam V8 as driven, or the 2.3-litre four cylinder Ecoboost turbo.

And that there’s fastbacks or convertibles.

In standard spec (there’s a raft of factory supplied/approved mods to increase the performance of both engines) these two produce a more than adequate 306kW/530Nm and 233kw/432Nm respectively.

With front engines, rear drive, limited-slip-diff, independent

suspension all-round and with their weight sitting low down in their two-door bodies, they are definitely driver’s cars.

As well our V8s came with a performance chassis package that includes sportier, but not too-firm suspension settings and Brembo front brakes.

Of course in New Zealand, unless you are fortunate enough to spend some time at the likes of Ruapuna Raceway, the car’s top speed is purely academic so it’s that previously mentioned acceleration, and how long it takes from one corner to the next, and how it goes round these that is the real deal.

Let’s just say this is all very impressive, even when in the everyday driving mode of the four you can choose from, then progressively even more so in Sport+ and then Race, when a Stig-like symbol appears on the info screen.

The 6-speed auto reacts quickly, and while there’s no DIY selection via the gear lever, using the paddles adds to the driving delights.

Pricing: As driven $77,880. Others from $59,880 (Ecoboost four cylinder to $82,880. (all plus ORCs) Engine: 5-litre V8, 306kW @ 6500rpm and 530Nm @ 4250rpm.

Transmission: 6-speed auto. RWD. Safety: 9 air bags; 5 stars Warranty: 3-year/100,000km.

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

Braking too fits the bill with those large front Brembo discs stopping you quickly and smartly.

While you sit low, getting in and out of the power-adjusted, form-fitting but comfortable front seats (both are height adjustable and have heating and ventilation) isn’t a problem.

Nor is finding the seatbelts as they are neatly strapped to the top of the seats.

While there’s rear seats, they are really only suitable for small infantry, or extra luggage over and above the reasonable 383 litres the boot holds.

Irrespective of both the black leather and black hard-look plastics, the cabin is bright and inviting and it doesn’t let you forget you are in a Mustang!

And why not?

There’s all the convenience and comfort features now considered necessary on board, including the Sync 2 voice recognition/activation system, an 8-inch touch screen, dual climate air and a decent sound system.

You can also dial up lots of other info including g-forces, braking/acceleration times, engine info etc on a smaller screen.

Lake Hood’s Graham and Katie Kennedy together with three other couples, all Mustang mounted (three new Ecoboost convertibles and one V8) recently drove Route 66 from Chicago to LA. Brief comments from Graham include – “More than adequate power from the turbo four in all situations, the easy 80mph (129kmh) cruise, a little over 8L/100km fuel use over 5000km, neat handling, very comfortable seats and plenty of space to fit in luggage and retail therapy.”

And that the soft top and climate air completely shielded them from the outside temperatures of up to 53°C!

■ MERCEDES-AMG C 43 SEDAN, ESTATE AND COUPÉ

■ HRT

Emotive drive experience

Crennan slams poor decisions

M

H

ercedes-Benz New Zealand has announced pricing and specification for the newest members of the C-Class performance family, the dynamic AMG C 43 Sedan, Estate and Coupé.

Athletic, sporty and striking in design, the new C 43 models deliver an attractive entry into the world of Mercedes-AMG, and fulfil the brand’s promise of Driving Performance in every respect.

Dynamic growth characterises the corporate philosophy of Mercedes-AMG. A key component is the continual extension of the product range to include all-new models.

“The extension of the C-Class family to include the new C 43 models is another component in our growth strategy says Mercedes-AMG GmbH chairman Tobias Moers.

“The 43 models boast the characteristic AMG genes, which are also included in our GT and 63 vehicles, and thus consistently interpret our brand essence of Driving Performance in their segment”.

Sports car technology and motor racing flair thus become more attainable and appeal to a broader customer base.

For the highly dynamic driving experience that is the hallmark of the AMG brand, the Affalterbach-based development teams have put together a scintillating engineering package: the 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo engine is combined with the new 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission to provide agile gearshifts.

Together with the AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel-drive and the modelspecific chassis technology, this provides the optimum basis for high agility and exhilarating lateral dynamics.

The new 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo engine is part of the BlueDIRECT engine family from Mercedes-Benz.

Technical advances including a modified boost pressure allowed the AMG engineers to increase the engine’s power output and torque as well as its dynamism and flexibility to typical AMG levels.

With up to 270kW and 520Nm, the V6 engine sets new standards in its segment.

The NANOSLIDE® coating of the cylin-

der liners is also used in the Formula One engines of Mercedes-AMG Petronas.

Especially tough and, therefore, wearresistant, this coating also reduces friction, thereby contributing to higher efficiency.

The AMG powerplant can be identified by the red aluminium insert in the engine cover.

Thanks to the model-specific software application, the AMG developers managed to substantially reduce the shift times of the 9-speed transmission.

The multiple downshift allows even faster short bursts of speed, while the doubledeclutching function in the Sport and Sport Plus transmission modes makes for an even more emotive driving experience.

All AMG C 43 models will also arrive with exceptional safety features as standard including: 9 airbags, collision prevention assist plus with semi-autonomous braking, driver assistance package PLUS, active lane keeping, blindspot assist, pre-safe®, attention assist, an active bonnet, a 360 degree camera and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

The new Mercedes-AMG C 43 models are now available to order for customers in New Zealand and will be on-sale from October 2016.

Sale prices will be as follows: AMG C 43 Sedan: $116,400 (MRRP) AMG C 43 Estate: $119,400 (MRRP) AMG C 43 Coupé: $120,900 (MRRP).

olden Racing Team’s loss of factory support is the result of poor decisions by the team’s owner, an ex-Holden motorsport boss has claimed.

John Crennan, who guided the HRT and Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) operations for two decades from 1991, says Walkinshaw Racing boss Ryan Walkinshaw is to blame for the decline of Supercars’ most successful team.

This week Holden announced they would only provide factory funding for the Triple Eight Race Engineering outfit owned by Roland Dane from next year onwards.

It brings an end to a 26-year relationship between Holden and Walkinshaw Racing which resulted in six drivers’ championships and seven Bathurst 1000 wins.

Crennan says Walkinshaw has made “monumental mistakes” since inheriting ownership of the team following the death of his father Tom in 2010.

Crennan, who is currently working as a consultant for American giant Roger Penske’s Australian operations, says among Walkinshaw’s mistakes is an outspoken presence on social media and not moving from England to Australia to oversee operations.

He also says the poaching of respected team manager Adrian Burgess from Dane’s team in 2013 put Walkinshaw in his fellow Englishman’s crosshairs.

“His appointment of Adrian Burgess created an intense enemy in Roland Dane whose experience, influence and guile to my mind was always going to see a monster come back at some point,” Crennan said.

In the wake of Holden’s announcement, Walkinshaw has committed to racing a two-car team in next year’s Supercars championship.

Crennan believes associating the team with the name of legendary driver Peter Brock could be the key going forward.

Season finale a chance for redemption T

his Saturday’s Mahindra Gold Rush Rally of Coromandel will be a bittersweet event for Dunedin’s Emma Gilmour.

On one hand she holds second in the Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship (NZRC) and will be fighting hard to secure the runner-up spot in her Vantage Windows and Doors Suzuki Swift AP4+.

The flip-side is that Emma had a high chance of winning the season outright, after her history-making victory at the third NZRC round, the Lone Star Rally of Canterbury, after which, she became locked in a tight title battle with eventual NZRC winner David Holder.

“It was incredibly disappointing for our engine to let go at the Rally of Gisborne last month – ending our event and championship-winning hopes.

“However, we will put that aside on Saturday and focus on delivering a strong performance in this final NZRC event for 2016,” Emma says.

It has been a year where Emma’s 1600cc Suzuki has showed what it is capable of and with Australian co-driver Anthony McLoughlin on board, the pair have notched up two podium finishes – which included a second at the International Rally of Whangarei in April.

Emma will compete in the Coromandel event for the second time, after missing the rally in 2014 – when it was first added to the NZRC calendar – due to a date clash with the Global Rallycross Championship she was contesting in the United States.

The 10-stage rally will be based at Whitianga’s Mercury Bay Sports MultiSport Park, which will host Rally HQ and the service park.

Competition will take place over 135 kilometres of forestry and public roads around the Mercury Bay region.

The event will feature gravel roads in the area, some of which were last used for rallying on the 1979 International Motogard Rally of New Zealand.

Black Sticks ‘shattered’

By DaviD Leggat They had their chances but the women’s Black Sticks weren’t good enough to grab them as they lost their Olympic semi-final 3-0 to Britain yesterday.

There is still the chance for a bronze medal, when they play world No 9 Germany on Saturday morning (NZT) but New Zealand were bitterly disappointed after being outplayed by a tough, determined British side, who are ranked three places lower than them.

Britain were helped by two penalty strokes early in the final quarter which took the steam out of New Zealand’s challenge.

In the final, they will play world No 1 the Netherlands, chasing a third straight Olympic women’s gold, on Saturday.

The Dutch beat Germany 4-3 in a dramatic penalty shootout after the scores were locked 1-1 at fulltime.

“We should have been more clinical,” Black Sticks attacker Gemma Flynn admitted.

“We’re very disappointed. We did try but didn’t stick to our structures.

“We’re hurting pretty bad.

We’ve got to pick ourselves up.

We’ve still got a bronze to play for.

“We have to put this to bed. We know what we’ve got to work on, keep our eyes up and chins up.”

World No 4 New Zealand had plenty of scoring chances but could not find the finishing touch.

They looked the better team for

Current aids swimmers Samantha Charlton lingers disconsolate on the pitch after they lost to Britain during their semifinal match in Rio yesterday.

PHOTO AP chunks of the game and when attackers such as Sophie Cocks, Anita McLaren and Stacey Michelsen swept forward things looked promising.

However Britain, who beat New Zealand for the bronze medal in London four years ago, are nothing if not doughty.

They had a toughness about them which counted at important stages.

Coach Mark Hager was left to bemoan a failure to stick to the game plan.

“I didn’t think we played as a team,” he said.

“We kept turning it over rather than play to our game plan, which was to play around the outside and get to the circle edges.

“But we played in the middle and to their strengths. We’ve got to be better as a team,” Hager

said. “Unfortunately we didn’t have enough good players today.

I’ve got to look at myself too, what did we do wrong tactically.

“I’m just gutted we didn’t play as well as we can.”

Four years ago New Zealand were really poor when playing for bronze, seemingly short on energy and commitment.

They can’t afford that this time around.

A miraculous eagle has rescued a nervous Lydia Ko’s first round in Rio as women’s golf ended a 116-year absence from the Olympic Games. New Zealander Ko didn’t initially rise to the occasion but her three-under for the back nine was as good as anybody’s, lifting her to 11th overall. It featured a brilliant 135-yard approach shot which found the hole on the par-four 15th – a moment to savour on a stifling afternoon. The world No.1 shot a two-under 69 to be four shots behind the Thai leader and world No.2 Ariya Jutanugarn.

Anti-doping at the Rio Olympics has been branded the “worst” ever at a Games after the process of sample collection was compromised by a wave of noshows and walkouts by volunteers and testers, as well as a series of security lapses. Telegraph Sport has learnt that efforts to keep the first Olympics since the Russian doping scandal clean are in danger of being wrecked by the organisational chaos to engulf the Games in Brazil.

Allegations have surfaced that Olympic swimmers on one side of the pool in Rio were advantaged because of a current. Three scientists have suggested a current boosted 50m competitors in the highernumbered lanes of the eight-lane pool. The same scientists, led by Joel Stager, director of Indiana University’s Science of Swimming, have previously said a current influenced 50m races at the 2013 world championships in Barcelona.- NZME

Pole vaulter booed Athletics legends Sebastian Coe and Sergey Bubka comforted distraught French pole-vaulting star Renaud Lavillenie after he was booed for the second day by a hostile Brazilian crowd on the Olympic medal podium. International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach slammed it as “shocking”.

Lavillenie – who hit out at the host nation’s fans for their conduct during the pole-vault final – held his head in his hands but could not stop tears streaming down his face as he stood on the podium after receiving his silver medal. - NZME

Neymar inspires Brazil Maybe Neymar and his teammates can make the Olympics a success for Brazil after all. Brazil’s celebrated men’s soccer team rolled to a 6-0 win over Honduras in the semi-finals to earn a spot in the gold medal match. Brazil’s fans didn’t have to wait long, with Neymar scoring 15 seconds into the game. It was the fastest goal in men’s Olympic history, and Brazil led 3-0 going into halftime to cruise into the final.

Bolt ran 19.78 seconds in the second of two semi-final heats. He was pushed all the way by Canada’s Andre de Grasse in the lane beside him, but as they were laughing at each other, Bolt pushed his chest just across the line for 19.78 while De Grasse set a Canadian record of 19.80.

Trott defends sister The New Zealand-based sister of Britain’s Olympic golden girl Laura Trott who was branded a “bitter” and “jealous” sibling in the UK media has spoken about her shock and sadness over the extraordinary backlash. Four-time Olympic gold medallist Laura has come out to staunchly back her sister Emma after an interview on Britain’s ITV television was described as “awkward”. The Mirror newspaper said 26-year-old Emma’s “lack of enthusiasm” for her sister’s win was immediately apparent to viewers.

Soaking up Rio experience It’s been less than a week since Mayfield rower Emma Dyke placed fourth in the A-final as part of the women’s coxed eight at the 2016 Olympics. Ashburton Guardian sports reporter James Ford caught up with the 21-year-old to ask about her first Olympic experience and her future goals.

What was the feeling among the women’s coxed eight following the A-final’s fourth place finish?

Obviously it was not quite the result we had wanted, but I now understand when people tell me that the Olympics is a whole other game – other countries just seem to step up in a way I did not expect.

Was there any change in the way the team prepared for the final compared to earlier races?

No, we stuck to our usual routine.

There were a few changes throughout the week of racing,

with racing being cancelled due to bad weather, but I think we dealt with it well.

Is there any aspect of the final performance that you feel could have been better?

Our final was a big step up from our heat and rep (repechage), so I was happy with that, but I think we left our heart out there and gave it absolutely everything.

There are always things to improve on, but I think we had a good race on the day.

How has the Olympic experience been for you?

The Olympic experience has been great, this week I have been going to watch other sports and to soak up the Olympic environment.

What do you think will be your fondest memory of the 2016 Olympics?

I honestly cannot tell you.

I have enjoyed everything so far from being at the apartment with the entire New Zealand Olympic team.

It’s been really cool to meet all the other Kiwi athletes and support staff and of course getting to stroke the NZ eight at

my first Olympic Games will be a good memory.

What are your next goals, will you be having a break after the Games?

At the moment I have no plans on having a break.

We get two months after the Games before summer training starts back, so I think that will be a great refresher and a good time to see friends and family that I haven’t seen in a while.

It’s a long way off, but is Tokyo 2020 a goal?

Yes, Tokyo 2020 would definitely be my next big goal.

‘Worst pain ever’ It took almost three agony-filled hours and a general anaesthetic to get javelin thrower Kim Mickle’s shoulder back in her socket after her Olympic Games blow out.

Mickle yesterday detailed the worst pain she’s ever felt. Angry TV watchers saw Mickle search in vain for help for several minutes, with team doctors prevented from being on the track, and a hurdles race preventing local staff from reaching her.

Hammers face old foe

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will host old enemies South Canterbury at the Ashburton Showgrounds tomorrow in their final pre-season tie before kicking off the Heartland Championship against fellow Hanan Shield rivals North Otago next weekend.

The Hammers swept West Coast aside 40-20 in last Saturday’s preseason outing at Lincoln.

Co-coaches Craig Dunlea and James Jowsey made the most of the three 30-minute thirds to give playing time to as many of their new-look squad as possible.

Tomorrow’s clash will be played over the usual 40-minute halves, but Dunlea and Jowsey will be looking to use their bench as much as possible again.

“We said that everyone will be given a chance over these two

games to put their best foot forward,” Dunlea said.

“So there will be some mixand-matching and seeing guys in different positions all in preparation of kicking off our campaign next week.”

Veteran halfback Will Mackenzie will be unavailable, giving Methven’s Tyler Blackburn the chance to start, while Development number nine Cory Sinclair will be drafted in as cover.

The only other absentee will be Celtic midfielder Koli Tamanitoakula, who is nursing a precautionary injury.

Dunlea is confident that tomorrow’s final pre-season tie will serve as a perfect test before welcoming North Otago to the Showgrounds for their season opener on August 27.

“You couldn’t ask for a better warm up,” he said.

“Those Hanan Shield sides are

Craig Dunlea always physical and South Canterbury are always a good team.

“It’s going to be good to see where we’re at.”

By Patrick mckendry Julian Savea, disappointed to be selected on the reserves bench for the Hurricanes during the Super Rugby playoffs as his team won their maiden championship, faces the challenge of regaining his on-field confidence for the All Blacks from the same position.

Savea has been named on the bench for the opening Bledisloe Cup test against the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday, the All Blacks coaches instead going for Waisake Naholo, Israel Dagg and Ben Smith as their back-three options.

It is an unfamiliar position for Savea to be in terms of the national team.

In 43 tests, he has been named on the bench only twice – against

Julian Savea the USA in Chicago in 2014 and again against Scotland in Murrayfield a few weeks later.

Last week backs coach Ian Foster said Savea just needed an op-

portunity in order to regain the form that saw the 26-year-old star at the last World Cup, where he scored a hat-trick of tries against France in the quarterfinal.

“If he gets time to get on the park, what would be great is to see all the hard work he’s putting in off the park to be reflected on the park,” Foster said.

“He’s actually in great shape, is looking good, and just needs a couple of things to stick.”

It remains to be seen how many minutes Savea gets on the field at ANZ Stadium.

Much will depend on injuries, and with the All Blacks not having any midfield cover on the bench, they will need to shuffle their resources carefully.

It is a pragmatic selection by Steve Hansen and his assistants,

but there remains an element of risk about naming Naholo on the left wing in Savea’s place.

Dagg’s sparkling form in the last two tests against Wales in June has earned him the No15 jersey, with regular fullback Ben Smith, one of the best in the world in that position, named on the right wing.

Naholo is capable of the spectacular, but isn’t immune to mistakes, as he showed in the first test against Wales at Eden Park, and with Savea you generally know what you’re going to get; a safe pair of hands.

An excellent cameo could see Savea back in the starting XV for the return encounter on his home pitch in Wellington seven days later; a difficult night could see his challenges continue.

- NZME

Bracing for barrage Catch first, think later. That is the mantra Israel Folau has adopted as he braces for a barrage of bombs from the All Blacks in the first Bledisloe Cup Test on Saturday.

The Wallabies superstar is set to be named at fullback despite playing outside centre for the Waratahs this year, and with the All Blacks having successfully targeted Folau in previous encounters by putting up high balls and swarming him with defenders so he is not a threat in counter-attack. But Folau says his only concern is doing the job he is the world’s best at; catching the high ball.

- NZME

Cotter calls time Scotland have confirmed that Glasgow Warriors’ Gregor Townsend will replace New Zealander Vern Cotter as head coach of the national side in June on a three-year deal. New Zealander Cotter took over as Scotland boss in 2014 and guided them to the 2015 World Cup quarter-finals before they came fourth in this year’s Six Nations, their best finish since 2013. Cotter hasn’t revealed his plans but a move back to New Zealand could be on the cards.

- NZME

Genia gets a start Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has reunited his World Cup final starting halves of Bernard Foley and Will Genia for Saturday’s Rugby Championship opener against the All Blacks in Sydney.

As well as Genia, fellow Francedbased stars Adam Ashley-Cooper, on the wing, and second five Matt Giteau have also earned recalls after missing Australia’s heavy 3-0 series loss to England in June.

In brief Mahrez staying put Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez has ended speculation over his future by signing a new contract that will keep him at the Premier League champions until June 2020. British media reports linked the influential winger with a move to Arsenal and Spanish champions Barcelona after he scored 17 league goals last season, helping Leicester to a historic Premier League title and being named the PFA Player of the Year. The 25-year-old Algerian international follows the likes of Wes Morgan, Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel who have all committed their long-term futures to the club.

Lolohea in the halves The door has not been closed on Tui Lolohea making a return to first grade this season but Warriors coach Andrew McFadden hopes he will regain his confidence playing in the halves in reserve grade. Lolohea was dropped for this weekend’s crucial game against the Cowboys in Townsville after he was exposed at fullback in last week’s 44-21 defeat to the Rabbitohs. The one-test Kiwis international will wear the number six jersey for the club’s Intrust Super Premiership side’s home game against Mounties on Saturday.

Young footballers impress

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s under-12 boys’ football team held their nerve in a nail-biting penalty shootout to secure third place out of 12 teams at the Friendship Games Tournament in Japan.

The players pulled out all the stops to fundraise for their trip and flew the Mid Canterbury flag high in challenging condi-

tions in the southern town of Hosoe.

In up to 40 degree heat, Mid Canterbury recorded a 2-2 draw and a 3-2 win before progressing to a third place playoff clash where a penalty shootout was required to separate the teams at 0-0.

Sam Reilly-Sigel, Parker Bradford, Ben Simons, Jed Syme and goalkeeper Ryan Robinson

all hit the back of the net from their spot kicks before Robinson made a save to seal third place in the tournament.

The boys were billeted with Japanese families and have been well looked after throughout their stay.

“Our hosts are wonderful, nothing is a problem and we are being treated like royalty,” said coach Neil Simons.

Simons said the team has made the most of the experience on and off the football pitch.

“The boys are having a wonderful time.

“They have made many friends with their host families and other players,” he said.

“They will all have learnt so much from this visit as they have experienced a whole new culture.”

Teams lining up to play the All Whites Qualification for next year’s Confederations Cup is clearly working out well for the All Whites with a game against the United States in October confirmed yesterday.

Anthony Hudson’s side will meet the Americans in Washington on October 11, three days after they play Mexico in Nashville on October 8.

It had been a lean few years for the All Whites until they won June’s Oceania Nations Cup in unconvincing fashion, beating hosts Papua New Guinea on penalties in the final, with only six games under Hudson in two years.

But the offers have come in after they confirmed their spot at next year’s Confederations Cup. The Washington Post reported

yesterday confirmation of the US game is expected this week after the kickoff time and television details are finalised.

“This has got to be one of the biggest windows we’ve had in quite a few years playing against two world-class sides,” said Hudson.

“The States and Mexico are two teams that always compete well at the FIFA World Cup and they both have large followings so we’re hoping for some big crowds to really test ourselves.”

The US had originally planned to play Ghana on October 11 but Fifa rules prevented this from happening.

Ghana have a World Cup qualifier eight days earlier against Uganda and, while teams are allowed to play both a quali-

Anthony Hudson fier and friendly inside the same nine-day Fifa window, the sport’s governing body prevent the friendly from taking place more than a five-hour flight and two time zones away because of the burden on players and their clubs.

In this case, Fifa declined Ghana’s request for a waiver.

Most nations are involved in World Cup qualifiers in the October window, meaning New Zealand were an attractive proposition for the US, especially as they will already be in the country.

Not since June 2011, when they played Mexico and Australia, have the All Whites had two quality games in consecutive fixtures outside of major tournaments or qualifiers.

Mexico, who beat New Zealand 9-3 over two legs for a spot at the 2014 World Cup, are ranked 14th and the US 26th.

The All Whites have jumped up to 93rd on the back of their win at the Nations Cup after being a lowly 159 towards the end of last year.

Pressure on youngsters Jason Taylor has laid out the challenge to Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses, telling the Wests Tigers young halves to prove themselves with the pressure on. Brooks will make a timely comeback from a knee complaint when the Tigers’ NRL season goes on the line against Penrith at Pepper Stadium tonight. Of the Tigers’ current squad, just seven members have played finals football and coach Taylor is applying the blow torch as he seeks to take his young side to the next level.

- AAP

Cheating ‘good tactics’ Teams deliberately conceding strings of penalties on their own goal line is just good tactics according to Craig Bellamy, the Melbourne mentor conceding the NRL is powerless to stop the strategy which shapes as crucial in the finals series. The Storm attack was thwarted by the tactic in their 22-8 loss to the Raiders in Canberra in round 23’s concluding game on Monday. Bellamy said the practice was now commonplace.

“I have no doubt that happens but that is just good tactics.” - NZME

Sharks yet to peak Cronulla have bristled at suggestions they’ve peaked too early, pointing to North Queensland’s ability to overcome some late-season hiccups in their historic NRL premiership charge last year. The Sharks are desperate to get back in the winner’s circle against South Sydney this week after going winless the last three weeks and relinquishing top spot. Their draw with Gold Coast to break their 15-game winning streak and losses to Canberra and St George Illawarra were interpreted as signs they’re suffering the yips with a maiden title in sight.

Kyrgios loses cool, match Nick Kyrgios has smashed three racquets in one outburst before being knocked out of the Cincinnati Masters in the second round.

The Australian star lost his temper after losing a first-set tiebreak and took it out on his tools, picking up the racquets from his courtside seat and whacking them on the hardcourt surface one after the other.

Making matters worse, he later blew a 5-2 lead and a match point in the third-set tiebreaker to lose 7-6 (7-2) 4-6 7-6 (8-6) to Croatian teenager Borna Coric, making an early exit less than two weeks out from the US Open.

It wasn’t all bad news for Australia, as countryman Bernard Tomic claimed his highest-ranked scalp in seven months when he beat Belgian world No.11 David Goffin to reach the third round.

But it was the Kyrgios blow-up that grabbed all the attention.

The 21-year-old sent down 24 aces in the loss as he looked to continue a five-match winning streak that included his second career title in Atlanta.

■ CRICKET

Steyn turning down the dial As one of the straightest talkers in cricket, South Africa’s Dale Steyn is not about to hide his likely demotion among the game’s most fearsome fast bowlers.

Having been kept out of international cricket for much of the last year by groin and shoulder injuries, the 33-year-old will make a welcome return to the side in the first test against New Zealand in Durban tonight, but acknowledged he will have to turn down the speed dial.

“If I must be realistic about it, running in and bowling 145 km/h all day when you haven’t done it for a long time is going to be really tough,” he said this week.

“Objective number one is to get through 18 overs a day, maybe dropping in pace, but being as effective as possible.

“140 is going to be enough.”

The news will come as a relief for New Zealand’s batsmen, who have lost 49 wickets to Steyn in seven tests in South Africa over the past decade.

Steyn confessed that as he contends with the lingering effects of his injuries and an ageing body, he won’t even be the fastest bowler in his team, let alone the world.

But he’s OK with that.

“There’s going to be a day when I can rev it up to 145 and maybe even 150, but we’ve got somebody like KG (Kagiso Rabada) who can do that now.”

Steyn’s return, along with fellow seamer Vernon Philander, is the biggest boost for South Af-

Ashburton Guardian

rica as it begins a revival in test cricket.

The pair were largely absent during the past year as the Proteas lost 3-0 away to India and 2-1 at home to England, dropping from No. 1 to No. 7 in the test rankings.

With Rabada announcing himself on the test stage in their absence, South Africa’s pace stocks look strong again even without the injured Morne Morkel.

“From a seam bowling point of view, they are strong, they have got a lot of variety,” New Zealand coach Mike Hesson said. “They have some bounce bowlers, some good swing bowlers, some seam bowlers so that will provide its own challenges.”

On paper, a two-match series against New Zealand looks like a soft start to South Africa’s rebuilding process, given that it has lost just one of 13 home tests to the Black Caps since readmission to world cricket in 1991 – even with captain AB de Villiers ruled out by a range of niggling injuries.

But New Zealand has built a formidable outfit over the past three years, rising to fifth in the rankings, and boasts a threatening pace attack in its own right with Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Neil Wagner.

The trio warmed up for the South Africa tour by twice bowling New Zealand to innings victories over Zimbabwe on hopelessly flat pitches in Bulawayo.

19/8 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Self-centredness is an epidemic and, to some extent, we all are part of it.

So before you make your pitch or explanation, make sure the others know why it’s relevant to them.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): This endeavour that once terrified you – well, now as you skip past your trepidation and get straight to the rewards for taking action, you can hardly believe you were ever afraid.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): From Vito Corleone to Mike Tyson to Anjelica Huston in any role she’s ever played, the ones who speak softly often have such strong intentions and methods that taxing their vocal cords seems completely unnecessary.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Even those who claim there are no stupid questions have to admit that quality questions have the power to elevate. Someone will ask you a thought-provoking question.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Post an opinion; change the world! ... it doesn’t work like that? The world still changes by making a connection, coming to a new understanding and making agreements that reflect that.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You know where the sugar is going to come from, and you also know what leaves a bitter taste. Today, there will be no surprises.

You’ll get precisely the flavour you put into the recipe.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re someone’s favourite. Does the preferential treatment make you uncomfortable? If you can handle it, your gracious reception of all this attention keeps it coming your way.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Power is subjective.

The one who is extremely revered in some circles is totally unknown and without influence in others. Your perception of how powerful a person is will matter, but it won’t translate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The words get prettier when people are trying to impress each other.

You’ll find yourself on both sides, alternately throwing out the high-minded sentiments and catching them.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You have access to the things that will fortify your soul. Do you know what your soul needs? Because the soul nutrition maybe doesn’t come in the brand-name packaging you thought it would come in.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ve a new attitude and your elevated confidence will inspire moves that you wouldn’t have thought to make this time last month (or even last week): PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your good feelings about the day are warranted, as important and fortuitous happenings are likely. A strong effortless connection will be made with fellow water signs, Cancer and Scorpio.

Sport Straight to the pool Despite having officially hung up the goggles for good, Olympic legend Michael Phelps has spent his first day of retirement in the familiar surroundings of a pool. This time, however, the 28-time Olympic medal winner, 31, was in the company of his fiancée Nicole Johnson and their baby son Boomer at his family home in Maryland. The multiple-record breaker took to Instagram to share the precious moment, captioning the photo, “There’s nothing like being home!! Great way to spend my first day of retirement!!”

Smith ‘stunned’

Champions of the court

Australia had lost one Test to Sri Lanka in 33 years, but after losing three in just over three weeks, Steve Smith was asked how it all went so wrong. “There aren’t too many positives really,” said a despondent Smith after the 163-run third-Test hammering in Colombo that sealed the 3-0 series whitewash. “I can’t fault our quicks, I thought they did a great job, particularly Mitchell Starc.

But our batters and spinners are the ones who had to step up and we haven’t been able to do that.”

Methven retained their ACL Premier Grade Netball title with a dominant 36-25 victory over Celtic in last night’s final at the EA Networks Centre Stadium. Methven got off to a flying start and led 11-5 at quarter-time. But it was the second stanza that put Greta Currie’s ladies well and truly out of reach. Goal shoot Leanne Clemens (above) was in clinical form under the hoop as Methven out-scored Celtic by seven for a 23-10 half-time lead. It was much of the same from the black and whites in the third quarter to take an unassailable 17-point lead into the final 10 minutes. To Celtic’s credit they battled to the final buzzer, but Methven were well worth the 36-25 win. Pick up tomorrow’s edition of the Guardian for a full netball wrap.

Thurston factor looms large for Warriors

BY DAVID SKIPWITH The Warriors are wary of Cowboys captain Johnathan Thurston’s short kicking game and are intent on improving their defence after being badly exposed in last week’s heavy NRL defeat to South Sydney.

Coach Andrew McFadden took responsibility for his side being underprepared for Rabbitohs halfback Adam Reynolds’ tactical kicking in behind the

line and expects Cowboys playmaker Thurston will be looking to repeat the tactic in tomorrow’s crucial clash at 1300Smiles Stadium.

“They (Rabbitohs) got us with some tactics that we need to be better prepared for so we need to take some responsibility there as coaches,” said McFadden.

“I’d expect that they’d (Cowboys) be looking at that so certainly we need to prepare a little better.

“And they’re small adjustments for us.

“We should be able to get that right for this week.”

McFadden is banking on David Fustitu’a doing a better job at fullback after Tui Lolohea endured some horror moments defending kicks close to the line against the Rabbitohs.

Warriors wings Manu Vatuvei and Ken Maumalo have also been caught out rushing up in defence and are vulnerable

when turning to defend attacking kicks.

While some adjustments are needed to the Warriors defensive structures, McFadden said his players also need to show greater awareness.

“A bit of both,” he said.

“There’s certainly some effort that needed to be better on the weekend but also some understanding and awareness which is a learning curve for some of our young players.”

Silver not good enough Azerbaijan’s Mariya Stadnik couldn’t take it any more. The world’s No. 1 ranked women’s wrestler in her 48kg class, Stadnik arrived in Rio for her third straight Olympics and was desperate for a gold medal after winning bronze in 2008 and silver in London. But she came unstuck in a dramatic final and could not hide the pain of being second best when it came to the medal ceremony. Her unhappy demeanour showed on the podium where she took her silver medal off as soon as she stepped down and wouldn’t pose for photos with it.
