A new home in Tinwald for Islam

Opening of a Masjid in Ashburton has come at just the right time for the town’s Muslim community.

The new place of worship for the religion of Islam, in the former Tinwald Methodist Church building, opened on Friday.

Ashburton Muslim Association secretary Mubashir Mukhtar said about 70 people belonged to the association, representing about 25 families from about 12 different nationalities.

Some had been in the town for more than 10 years, and with members leading busy lives, a place such as this was needed for people to come together and take the time out to gather and pray.

“The significance of Islam is to bring all the people together and to look after

each other, brotherhood, sisterhood,” Mukhtar said.

Members are currently observing the month of Ramadan, fasting from sunrise to sunset, and this will culminate in the Eid festival on June 26, 27 and 28 at the Ashburton Masjid.

On Friday before the first prayer meeting in the afternoon, Mukhtar and association president Mohamed Diab were preparing the premises by installing prayer mats and making sure there was space outside for worshippers to leave their shoes. There is one prayer room for men and one for women. Prayer meetings are to be held in line with Islamic tradition of five times per day, and the Masjid will be open to all. There will be classes held there on the Quran and Islamic teaching and learning.

Mukhtar said members were look-

ing forward to collaborating with the community, and they had already been talking to groups such as the Hakatere Marae and Salvation Army. Later this year a workshop would be held in conjunction with the Mid Canterbury Newcomers’ Network and Volunteering Mid and South Canterbury.

“If people have any type of question they can just ask us, the place is open, no restriction for any gender or ethnicity or any culture or any religion, it is open to all,” Mukhtar said.

The Ashburton Masjid, yet to be named, is the fourth Masjid in the South Island, the other three being in Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill.

As such it represented an important place in the South Island for people to stop and rest and pray as they travelled through.

Rates rebate money up for grabs

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

More than 700 Ashburton District ratepayers have extra cash in their pockets each year thanks to a scheme that sees some receive up to $610 off their annual rates bill.

The rates rebate scheme provides a subsidy for low income home owners on the cost of their rates.

It is assessed by measuring income against rates and in the Ashburton District in the current year 690 applications were approved, with 595 of those applicants re-

ceiving a full rebate.

Against a rates bill of $2000 a household with an income of $34,000 would receive a $34 rebate, while the full $610 would kick in for households earning $29,000 or less.

If you have dependents, your income threshold is likely to be higher, but the amount of subsidy will not lift above $610.

The Government has lifted both the income threshold and the amount of rebate for the 2017/2018 year.

Ashburton District Council fi-

BLOCKED DRAINS

Dairy Saucer/Wedge/Sump and Drain Clearing.

nance manager Sandy Hogg said the number of people applying in the current year was down on the previous years – 2014/2015, 706; 2015/2016, 723, but said there was still time for property owners to file an application for a rebate on this year’s rates.

This must be done before June 30.

Applications for rebates in the next rating year cannot be made until after the first rating instalment is struck in August, Hogg said.

If people were unsure whether

Allen’s Ashburton offer a great service

they qualified, rather than possibly missing out on a rebate, they should make an application and staff would work this out for them, she said.

“We encourage as many people to apply as possible and people should start thinking about getting their ducks in a row for next year.”

To make a claim, property owners must provide an income summary to the council and they must have owned their home on July 1 in the year the application is being made.

Time ticking for log fire replacement

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The countdown is on for homeowners who have log burners older than 15 years of age.

After an Environment Canterbury replacement campaign that has been running for several years, a line has now been drawn in the sand designed to round up what could be a large pool of out of date fires.

October 31 is D-Day for homeowners to obtain a consent for a new fire. They will then have one year from the date of issue to have the fire installed.

Because the number of consent applications is well down on previous years, Ashburton District Council building services manager Michael Wong is anticipating there will be a flood of applications in the final weeks before the deadline.

“Normally we receive about 400 consent applications a year for fires; by the end of May we’d only received 273. We’ve had a lot more counter inquiry about the rules and applications are just starting to pick up,” he said.

The council’s year ends on June 30.

“We talk to suppliers and they say they’re busy selling fires, but we’re asking, where are the consents?”

Many inquirers mistakenly believed it was the council driving the upgrade project, but it was an Environment Canterbury initiative driven by a requirement for towns and cities to comply with the Government’s clean air rules, he said.

Any log fire older than 15 years must be replaced with an approved low-emission burner. If a consent is not issued by October 31 that option is off the table; the replacement must be an ultra-low emission burner – more expensive and with less choice.

Ashburton has been a leader in Canterbury in meeting clean air guidelines.

These required towns in clean air zones to have no more than three days per year where pollution readings were over 50 micrograms of PM10 per cubic metre of air by September 2016. Ashburton achieved that.

The final clean air deadline is no more than one breach by September 1, 2020.

So far this winter Ashburton has logged two high pollution nights, both just over the 50mcg threshold.

Home owners can check their heating options and replacement guidelines and eligibility for any subsidy on www.warmercheaper. co.nz

Top birds on show in Ashburton A new generation of bird fanciers made its presence felt at the Ashburton Fanciers’ Society annual show at the weekend.

Sisters Shaylyn Pulley, 6, and Summer Pulley, 7, were busy keeping an eye on their entries in the bantam section as well as their father’s light Sussex rooster.

The birds were among 650 entries at the show, which also fea-

tured cavies, rabbits and cats.

Ashburton star of the movie Pecking Order, Brian Glassey, had 50 prize birds in the show.

He was hoping the movie’s success would generate more numbers at the two-day show, held in the Ashburton Sports Hall.

Pecking Order is a fun documentary about the Christchurch Poultry, Bantam and Pigeon Club

and gives a unique insight into the world of competitive poultry breeding and showing.

The Pulley sisters could well be the next generation.

Shaylyn won first reserve champion with her white pekin pullet in the children’s bantam section while Summer placed second with her black pekin pullet.

Thousands walk Waterview Tunnel The first of thousands of people have traipsed through the country’s newest and longest road tunnel.

They were the first members of the public yesterday to get a close look at the $1.4 billion Waterview Connection, where twin 2.4kmlong three-lane tunnels connect State Highways 20 and 16.

The 1.97km Lyttelton Tunnel was previously the longest.

It is hoped the tunnel will help improve traffic flows in the city blighted by congestion.

Prime Minister Bill English, using a pair of golden scissors, cut the ceremonial ribbon with Transport Minister Simon Bridges and Finance Minister Steven Joyce.

The project was 60 years in the making and its opening was a big day for Auckland, Mr Eng-

lish said. He was also able to take a car through the tunnel before members of the public walked it.

The tunnel has been billed as the biggest transport transformation in Auckland since the Harbour Bridge was opened in 1959. It largely completes the Western Ring Route, a new 48km route linking the west of Auckland, Manukau, the city and the North Shore.

■ CHARITY TRIP

Adventure of a lifetime

BY MEGAN GNAD

MEGAN.G@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

After months of planning, the Kiwi Nomad team is about to jet off on a charity trip that will see them trek across 22 countries.

Local man Graeme Blair will join four of his childhood friends next month on a 16,000km rally from Brussels to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, to raise funds for the New Zealand Prostate Foundation and UK adventure charity, GoHelp.

Traversing five mountain ranges and three deserts over about 40 days, the five blokes — who have all recently celebrated their 60th birthdays — are ready for the challenge.

The Kiwi Nomads — made up of Jim Davis, Phil Trengrove, Blair, Mike Trengrove and Terence Coakley — have already purchased an ambulance and a Hilux Ute, which they will travel in for the duration of the rally.

Davis and Blair, who is the Dairy Holdings Ltd Mid Canterbury farm operations manager, will leave for London on Saturday where they will pick up the vehicles, and undertake some prepwork before the rest of the group arrive.

The whole team leaves from Brussels on July 1.

When they arrive at the finish line in Mongolia, the vehicles will be donated to the government, which will ensure it gets to communities that need the support the most.

“It’s getting very close now,” said Davis.

“The planning is all going reasonably well, and we have all our visas through, but the Chinese one. We’re 99 per cent there at the end of the day and we should have everything done. We’ll play it by air.”

They will also need to be fairly flexible when it comes to packing their suitcases.

While it will be the height of summer, they have been told to expect temperatures of between 35-40 degrees Celsius in Iran; and unknown conditions through the mountain passes.

In brief Ashburton burglary Ashburton police are investigating a burglary on Havelock Street on Saturday night when a small amount of money was taken.

Officers were notified at 8.22pm and were yesterday conducting inquiries.

Chinese ships in NZ Three Chinese Navy ships are docked in Auckland as part of a goodwill visit. The ships have caught the attention of locals, one of whom sent photos to the Herald of the heavily armed personnel on board. The New Zealand Navy welcomed the ships last week, with Commodore David Gibbs, Deputy Chief of Navy, meeting Rear Admiral Zhao Jicheng of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). The ships are completing a goodwill tour of the Asia Pacific after a counter-piracy deployment in the Gulf of Aden, and include two frigates, Hengyang and Yulin, and the replenishment ship Hongh, according to Naval Today. - NZME

“

We’re hugely grateful to all the donors. A truckload of people have got in behind and will make it all worthwhile

“You have to plan for a bit of everything,” Davis said.

“You can’t book accommodation because we don’t know where we will get to each time.

“It can take one or 10 hours to cross a border and changes from place to place. In essence, we’re winging it.”

They’ve also been warned about the state of the roads they

will be driving, are recommended not to drive at night and a guide is advised for travelling through Iran.

About 15 teams leave from Brussels on July 1, but as everyone takes their own route, Davis says it is unlikely the Kiwi Nomad team will see them again until the finish line.

“Some might go left at the first

set of traffic lights, some might go right,” he said.

“The whole thing is to get the vehicles there.”

The team has been overwhelmed with the number of donations they received, including a defibrillator, which they will gift to charity at the end of the trip.

He estimates, to put everything into a monetary value, they’ve probably raised about $100,000 worth.

“We’re on the homeward stretch now,” he says.

“We’re hugely grateful to all the donors. A truckload of people have got in behind and will make it all worthwhile.

“It’s a boys’ trip with a charity element.”

Disability Issues Minister Nicky Wagner has drawn a heated reaction after tweeting that she’d “rather be out on the harbour” when she was busy with disability meetings in Auckland.

Special Educational Needs NZ have responded on Facebook to the Minister’s tweet from June 14, saying it’s “thoughtless and heartless”. “I’m quite sure people living with disabilities wish they could walk away from what they face every day, but they can’t, and it’s the Minister’s job to support them.” Broadcaster Duncan Garner also tweeted his disgust. “You could always resign if you don’t like your job! I know a bloke who does good harbour tours to the whales and dolphins.”

Another twitter user, Mandy Hager, suggested Ms Wagner should resign.

■ EPRO8 CHALLENGE

Students prove engineering skills

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury school pupils proved their strength in engineering, problem solving and innovation at the EPro8 Challenge on Wednesday night.

Teams of Year 5, 6, 7 and 8 students from schools throughout the district, as well as a few from South Canterbury, competed in challenges at Ashburton Intermediate School in the annual competition.

Year 7 and 8 challenges were held on Wednesday night, and Year 5 and 6 on Thursday morning.

The top four teams from each are to compete in the semi-finals at Rolleston on June 28, and the Canterbury champion will be decided at the final regional competition the following week.

Event manager, Wellington engineer Kelvin Thiele, said about 70 schools from throughout Canterbury were competing in the first EPro8 for the region, and they were among about 720 schools from regions throughout the country involved.

He and a friend established the competition as a fun introduction to science and engineering for students.

“Kids love doing it, we get some good feedback,” Thiele said.

Challenges included tasks such as building a bridge at least two metres

Brainstorming ahead of their next challenge are Ashburton Christian School winning team members Leah Thomas, Gideon Kuipers, Necho Anderson and Charlotte Syme (partially obscured).

■ REAL ESTATE

Rental market finely balanced

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The cost of renting a home in Ashburton is still in the affordable bracket with industry experts seeing little change in the short term.

Currently there’s a good balance between renters and available properties, but Real Estate New Zealand owner Trevor Hurley says there could be speed bumps on the horizon.

“With what’s happened (job losses) at Fairton Works it’s obvious some people will be relocating out of town for work and there could be a few empty properties around,” he said.

The average rental of $350 a week for a three bedroom home had remained unchanged for

some time, Hurley said, and for landlords who had good condition properties priced in that bracket, finding tenants shouldn’t be difficult.

New laws around insulation and heating was ensuring the standard of rental properties was rising with tenants now asking questions around those issues, he said.

New regulations on floor and ceiling insulation in rental properties kick in next year but Hurley said many landlords were already carrying out work.

“For anyone renting now, insulation and heating are two big questions and it’s great that tenants are asking questions around this. We’re not experiencing any

people selling up and getting out of the market because of these requirements and that’s probably because of the steady returns in Ashburton.”

While the current supply of rentals was about right for demand, Hurley said he could see a future where things would get out of kilter as the 40 per cent loan to value ratios appeared to be a deterrent to new investors.

Ultimately this could lead to a shortage of properties, he said.

Currently, however the Ashburton District did not have the problems that were hitting Christchurch investors where there was an oversupply of properties that was driving rental prices down, he said.

Council gravel pits up for review

Volunteer week

By Sue NewmaN

Police are investigating the cause of a house fire in Otara they believe to be suspicious.

Emergency services were called to the unoccupied house around 10.45pm on Saturday. No one is believed to have been injured, but police are asking for anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the Tyrone Street area to come forward.

- NZME

The work of volunteers is being highlighted during National Volunteer Week, which started yesterday. Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector Alfred Ngaro says every week more than 400,000 Kiwis volunteer for registered charities.

The theme of the week this year is “Live, Laugh, Share, Volunteer”.

Volunteer New Zealand says there are about 1.2 million volunteers in New Zealand who donate about 157 million hours to non-profits annually.

Suspicious fire

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Dotted around rural parts of the Ashburton District there are more than 230 holes in the ground that have served the Ashburton District Council as gravel pits.

Those pits are largely on reserve land and vary in size from one to nine hectares.

Most are no longer used for gravel extraction while some are used by the council for forestry, stockwater retention, stockpiling of roading materials and for the disposal of clean-fill from council and other commercial operators.

The pits have also generated a large number of complaints from the public because they were being used as informal disposal pits for dead animals, rubbish and many were badly infested with weeds.

The council has completed a survey of the pits and found that only 140 sites had formal agreements in place.

Those sites generate about $25,000 in licence rents each year.

The remainder, however have no licences in place and do not generate any income.

While the council has a cleanfill management plan, it does not have a plan for the operation, opening or final closure of its gravel pits.

At last week’s finance and business support committee meeting, district councillors received a report on the pits with options for future management.

Winter starts to bite in Mid Canty If you thought it was a bit nippy yesterday morning, you were right. The lowest air temperature of the year was recorded by a local weather station at -2.7 degrees Celsius at 8.06am.

Wind chill was -6.9 degrees that same hour. The MetService

agreed, recording -2 at 8am, and says there’s another frosty morning on its way tomorrow.

Mt Hutt is expecting snow today, which will further delight skiers who enjoyed sunny conditions on Saturday.

A low over the north Tasman

Sea this week is expected to combine with a front over the South Island mid-week to bring more unsettled weather as it crosses the country. This should result in rain and strong winds to the north and possible snow in the south.

An elderly man is in a critical condition after he was stabbed in his home in the Southland town of Mataura. Around 10pm on Saturday a man entered the Main Street house and demanded money, police say. The victim was stabbed in the chest when he said he didn’t have any cash. He was taken to Southland Hospital where he is in a critical but stable condition.

Fog restrictions lifted Fog restrictions have been lifted at Auckland Airport. More than 100 flights were delayed or cancelled on Saturday from 4am, but although flights resumed at 2pm, restrictions were reinstated when the fog returned overnight.

Restrictions were lifted at 8am yesterday after around 10 domestic flights had been delayed and seven cancelled. A handful of international flights were also disrupted. WeatherWatch.co.nz said a large high pressure system over New Zealand created the fog yesterday morning.

■ WEST AFRICAN DRUMMING WORKSHOP

Drumming and dancing promotes physical and mental health, says Koffie Fugah.

PHOTO SUPPLIED Joyful, exuberant, groovy, contagious.

These are some of the words Otago-based drummer dancer Koffie Fugah uses to describe his art.

The professional African drumming and dance instructor from Ghana is coming to Ashburton on July 29.

He will be taking a West African Drumming Workshop at Community House, from 10.30am to 2pm.

He said no experience was required, and newcomers would be introduced to West African Djembe drumming and its highly danceable rhythms. All levels would be challenged, and everyone would have the chance to explore their own style and musical creativity.

“New research shows that rhythm is fundamental to

how the brain works and good rhythm promotes good health both physically and mentally,” Fugah said.

He grew up in a village called Abor from the Volta Region of Ghana where traditional music and dance was part daily life, and undertook professional dance and drum training.

“Music and dance are a huge part of me,” he said.

Since making New Zealand home 2013 he had been busy working locally in Otago and supporting drumming groups, running workshops and working in schools around New Zealand.

Djembe drums would be provided at the workshop but there was a limited number, so anyone interested was advised to contact him on 02102680964 or africandrumanddancenz@ gmail.com

Koffie Fugah will bring the joy of African drumming and dance to Ashburton next month.

OUR VIEW

Getting right behind the Kiwis Linda Clarke

SENIOR REPORTER

W

hat I wouldn’t give to be in Bermuda right now.

I don’t know much about sailing but I am caught up in the 35th America’s Cup campaign and hoping like hell the weather gods deliver the light winds that make Emirates Team New Zealand look like a Ferrari and Oracle USA a family sedan.

The hardest thing about the cup and the challenger series that preceded it is the timing of the live event. I’m not that great at 5am starts and watching it on record or replay has me reaching for the remote and the fast forward button.

Still, that’s what coffee is for, to keep you going at the other end of the day.

It doesn’t matter that I don’t know a lot about sailing. The graphics and the television coverage are great, and the sailors themselves explain the maths and science behind it in nice little pre-recorded packages.

There’s always Facebook comments to add to the entertainment. I’m pretty sure only Americans are supporting Oracle, every other country in the world is behind Emirates TNZ. If the cup races are more exciting than the challenger races, then it is likely I will need medication. My heart beats faster in the two minutes before the start, when Peter Burling is jockeying for position. It sank when we capsized and sang when Nathan Outteridge slid off the side of Artemis in one of the final races against us.

And just when you think everything is ticking along nicely, some puffy wind upsets the applecart.

It’s great entertainment, even if it is a rich man’s sport.

It has to be great for New Zealand too. We had Kiwis on plenty of the challengers’ crews and there are Kiwis, of course, in Oracle’s camp. I get the impression all round that without Kiwis and Australians the whole affair would be pretty boring.

Yesterday’s racing was the start of a real battle that will suck in plenty more Kiwis as the days progress. We are one up, which is better than one down, with plenty of hard work ahead.

Meantime, I will soak up the atmosphere of Bermuda that my TV screen projects: It’s islands, crystal blue water and pink sand beaches. Sigh.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

A

re you happy with the state of the rental market in Ashburton?

Are the houses up to standard?

Do you think we’re paying too much, or is it fairly reasonable in today’s market?

In Christchurch, an oversupply of properties is driving rental prices down, however Ashburton still seems to be in the affordable bracket.

We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Jump onto our Facebook page to join the discussion and visit www.guardianonline.co.nz to vote in this week’s poll.

ROLLING POLL This week’s question Q: Are we paying too much for rental properties in Ashburton?

YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK John It’s not the fact that rental prices are too high it’s the fact that even though you have been paying those prices for years the banks don’t look at that to see if you can afford mortgage repayments. A person paying 300 pw rent can afford to pay a mortgage of up to 300,000 yet the banks will look at their finances and say they can only afford to be paying 200 pw. How can they pay rent but can’t afford a mortgage

Matthew Im sorry but i think rent is fair it reflects to property market and prices people wouldnt be buying rentals if they cant rent them.out to cover costs at end of day the cost of a rental is really the cost to service morgage rates and matain the property the propblem more falls in the balance of inflation to wages the cost of food property power gas ect has gone up.so much over the past 10 years and the av hourly rate has not moved with inflation thats what i believe is problem

Results up to 5pm yesterday: Fiona Yes rents too high but it’s because the housing price is too high. Banks need to factor rent in for first home buyers. I’m very very lucky I only pay $270 a week but according to bank I can only afford to service a mortgage at $180 a week so how is it that I haven’t missed a rent payment in 5 years? People are forced to pay a ridiculous amount on rent because it’s impossible to buy. I’d take a mortgage over a rental in a heartbeat.

New targets focus on giving kids the best start N

ew Zealanders want to know that the Government is prioritising policies that are good for our children. People in Rangitata are no different.

National believes New Zealanders deserve high-quality health services and delivering better services remains our top priority.

At the same time, we’re focused on delivering better results for New Zealanders and their families. That’s why this Government has introduced refreshed Better Public Services targets to help ensure young New Zealanders get the best start to life.

The new health-led results and targets have a strong focus on improving outcomes for pregnant women and babies, as well as supporting kids to have a

healthy childhood.

The healthy mums and babies result aims to have 90 per cent of pregnant women registered with a Lead Maternity Carer in the first trimester by 2021, with an interim target of 80 per cent by 2019.

Early and continued regular engagement with a Lead Maternity Carer is associated with normal healthy births and better pregnancy outcomes.

The Lead Maternity Carer, usually a midwife, connects

the mother and child with core health services, such as general practice, immunisation, and Well Child Tamariki Ora checks. As well as oral health services and other social services.

The keeping kids healthy result aims to have a 25 per cent reduction in hospital admission rates for a selected group of avoidable conditions in children aged 0 12 years by 2021, with an interim target of 15 per cent by 2019.

Avoidable hospitalisations include dental conditions, respiratory conditions (such as bronchiolitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, asthma and wheeze), skin conditions (such as infections, dermatitis and eczema), and head injuries.

To achieve this target, the Ministry of Health will work closely with DHBs and the wider health

sector, as well as other Government agencies such as MSD, the MBIE and Housing NZ. This target will be supported by the free under 13 GP visits and prescriptions introduced by this Government. By intervening early, we can prevent conditions getting worse to the point where hospitalisation is needed.

Focusing on results, we are working towards specific, measurable targets to improve the lives of families, particularly the most vulnerable.

Search continues for missing sailors The Queen and Prince Phillip The search is continuing for seven missing American sailors in the sea off Japan, after a huge cargo ship collided with a Navy destroyer.

US and Japanese vessels and aircraft have been looking for the missing crew members of the USS Fitzgerald, which crashed with a container ship four times its size in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday.

In a tweet yesterday, the US Navy said the search was continuing. It said it remains uncertain how long it will take to gain access to the spaces inside the damaged destroyer in order to methodically search for the missing crew members.

The damaged destroyer was back at its home port in Yokosuka Naval Base south of Tokyo by sunset on Saturday, its crew lined up on deck. The Philippine-flagged container ship was berthed at Tokyo’s Oi wharf, where officials began questioning crew members about the cause of the crash.

After helping stabilise the USS Fitzgerald, the destroyer USS Dewey joined other American and Japanese vessels and aircraft in the search for the missing sailors.

At least three other Navy sailors were injured in the crash.

Family members were frantically seeking news, appealing via social media for calls from sailors aboard the ship.

The names of the missing sailors were

The US 7th Fleet said the crash damaged two berthing spaces, a machinery room and the radio room. Most of the more than 200 sailors aboard would have been asleep in their berths at the time.

Water was being pumped out of flooded areas, and it was unclear how long it would take to get into the crushed mid-right side

of the ship once it was at the pier in Yokosuka, the statement said.

The USS Fitzgerald’s captain, Commander Bryce Benson, was airlifted to the US Naval Hospital in Yokosuka and was in stable condition with a head injury, the Navy said. Two other crew members suffered cuts and bruises and were evacuated. It was unclear how many others may have been hurt.

Tube lines closed over concerns Forest fire kills at least 24 A forest fire in Portugal has killed at least 24 people, most of them trapped in cars that were caught in the blaze.

Around 20 others, including firefighters, were injured.

The fire which sparked yesterday is still burning out of control and is already one of the deadliest forest fires in Portugal in decades.

Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa said that the death toll had risen from 19 to 24, and that that number may yet increase.

He defined the fire as “the worst human tragedy of recent times” to befall the country, adding that the priority now was to extinguish the fire and provide assistance to the victims.

Many of the victims died trapped in their cars while trying to flee the blaze, whose cause was not yet known.

In addition to the dead and injured, two people have been reported missing.

Two Tube lines in London have been partly suspended amid safety concerns at Grenfell Tower, the 24-storey apartment block of social housing where a blaze killed at least 30 people.

The Hammersmith and City Line has been suspended between Edgware Road and Hammersmith due to the blaze four days ago, Transport for London said.

Coupled with planned engineering work, the safety concerns around the fire mean the Circle Line is closed.

A sign at Ladbroke Grove station said “owing to the safety of the Tower” the lines had been partly suspended.

Transport for London said the move had been made “at the request of the London Fire Brigade”.

Queen Elizabeth II and senior royals have marked her official birthday in the annual Trooping the Colour celebration.

The 91-year-old monarch was greeted yesterday by hundreds of well-wishers on a sunny day in the heart of ceremonial London. She rode with her husband Prince Philip in an open carriage in the procession along Horse Guards Parade.

Prince William and Prince Charles were on horseback. William’s wife Kate and Charles’ wife Camilla were in a carriage with Prince Harry. The Queen traditionally celebrates her official birthday in June rather than in April, the month of her actual birth.

ID process could take time Dental records, fingerprints and DNA will be analysed to help identify some of the London tower block fire victims but it could take some time as relatives wait for confirmation their missing loved ones died in the blaze.

The process of identifying those killed when the 24-storey Grenfell Tower went up in flames is likely to be filled with complications.

The condition of the bodies – left inside the burning building for more than 24 hours before the blaze was extinguished – will also present added challenges.

Fifty-eight people are missing and presumed dead, with 30 of them confirmed fatalities.

Sixteen bodies have been taken to the mortuary including one person who died in hospital – the others have been recovered from the building.

Family liaison officers are currently working with 52 families.

Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy said families would be informed as soon as formal identifications had been made – something that is only possible when identity can be proved beyond doubt.

Internationally recognised standards of identification, known as the Interpol Disaster Victim Identification Standards, are being used to identify the bodies.

Where possible, victims are identified by at least one of the primary identification methods: dental comparison, fingerprints and DNA. Secondary identification features such as tattoos and scars are also taken into consideration. Investigators may also use supporting information such as jewellery, clothing or property.

Bill Cosby

Mistrial declared Prosecutors have vowed to retry comedian Bill Cosby on sexual assault charges after a jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict despite 52 hours of deliberations in a case that echoed accusations made by dozens of women against him. Judge Steven O’Neill, of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas, declared a mistrial at the weekend following a note from jurors saying that they were hopelessly deadlocked on three counts of aggravated sexual assault. The result was a victory for Cosby, 79, who had faced years in prison for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting college administrator Andrea Constand at his home near Philadelphia in 2004.

Interesting discovery on Lowcliffe Beach Mid Canterbury man Luke Fowler and his girls made an interesting discovery at Lowcliffe Beach on Saturday when they came across a dead sunfish. Ocean sunfish are the largest bony fish in the world and can grow up to four metres wide. They spend most of their day basking motionless at the ocean’s surface and usually prefer warmer waters. It is possible the sunfish was struck by a boat and washed up on the Mid Canterbury coastline.

■ SOUTH KOREA

A feast for the eyes, stomach W

hen I told my Korean hairdresser, Aaron, that I was visiting Seoul, his response was hardly reaffirming.

“Why would you want to there?” he huffed.

Aaron reckons his old hometown is just too big, too busy and too polluted. Heaving with 10 million work-hard, play-hard residents, Seoul is a non-stop, neon-drenched, throbbing metropolis.

But despite the swarm of humanity pounding its pavements and the drifting presence of Made-in-China desert dust besmirching its skies, Seoul soon fast got under my skin.

Billed as one of the world’s leading tech-smart cities, its public transport system is a marvel of efficiency. In the city that bestowed upon the world MP3 players, touch screen cellphones, K-pop and kimchi, its history is pockmarked with brutality, tragedy and drama – and that’s before you even get to the horror of the Korean War. Falling under Japanese occupation from the late 19th century until the end of World War Two, that narrative is never far from the surface as you explore the sights and learn about the demise of Korea’s royal rulers, the Joseon Dynasty, who ruled the roost for over 600 years.

There’s a variety of royal palaces clustered around the central city including Gyeongbokgung, the city’s premier palace which has performed a Phoenix-like resurrection on several occasions, from the cinders of destruction.

A highly theatrical and musical Changing of the Guard is performed daily, around the main entrance gate of Gwanghwamun.

The blaze of colourfully costumed regalia serves no useful purpose other than as a patriotic fist-pump.

Gyeongbokgung translates as the Palace of Shining Happiness and it’s a colossal compound of astounding architecture, ornamental gardens and vivid history. It previously contained 800 building and 200 gates. The Joseon kings had several thousand servants at their disposal within the royal household, including 500 ladies-in-waiting and 400 eunuchs. Trying to get your head around the sheer extravagance of this imperial relic is best decoded with a good guide.

I arrived into the city by fast train from Incheon Airport, and one of the first imposing landmarks to stop me in my tracks was Namdaemun, the city’s South Gate, resplendently restored after being bombed

Seoul doesn’t enjoy the reputational hype of Hong Kong, Tokyo or Shanghai, but this Asian metropolis delivers a memorable city-break or stopover en-route to Europe, writes Mike Yardley.

Gyeongbokgung, or the Palace of Shining Happiness, has a colossal compound of astounding architecture, ornamental gardens and vivid history.

Right – Namdaemun Market, a frenetic night-and-day emporium, is a one-stop-shop for bargain buys and great bites. during the Korean War. The gate forms part of Seoul’s old city walls, of which 70 per cent are remarkably intact.

Over 600 years old, the 18km circuit wraps around the city core and threads together the four guardian mountains that stand watch over Seoul. The most photogenic section zips you across Bukak-san, the highest of the four peaks at 342 metres, standing guard over Korea’s seat of power.

The summit viewpoint overlooks the Blue House, Korea’s presidential palace, serving up a fascinating perspective.

The streets of Seoul are packed with culinary delights and a onestop-shop for bargain buys and great bites is the Namdaemun Market, a frenetic night-andday emporium that sprawls for blocks and is Korea’s biggest market.

Whether it’s clothing, accessories or handicrafts, each section comprises hundreds of stalls, spilling across pedestrianised streets. The sensory overload is

most graphically illustrated by the profusion of food stalls, sizzling with binge-worthy things on sticks and in bowls, sprawling all over the market.

My biggest hurdle was the lack of time or stomach space to sample it all. Best bites include sujebi, a shellfish and dough soup; tteokbokki, spicy rice cakes that are revved up with red-pepper paste; and dakkochi, the ubiquitous barbequed chicken on skewers in a sticky, tangy sauce.

They are nearly as pervasive as kimchi, Korea’s great staple of salted, seasoned and fermented vegetables – mainly made from Chinese cabbage.

Seafood pancakes, packed with squid and leeks is another popular meal on the run. Don’t leave town without trying Korean doughnuts, hotteok, fat and spiced pancakes stuffed with sunflower seeds, peanuts, red beans and honey.

I noshed heartily on the streets of Seoul, but I drew the line at live octopus eaten straight from the tank, still squirming, and

grilled chicken anus.

Namdaemun Market is centrally located in Myeong-dong, which is Seoul’s shopaholic mecca. Pop into Mitsukoshi, the Harrods of Seoul, and the city’s oldest department store with a vast and opulent food hall in the basement.

My local guide told me that 20 per cent of Seoul’s women have facial surgery. They binge on cosmetic perfectionism and you’ll see a surfeit of specimens in Mitsukoshi!

Another stand-out district worth dipping into is Bukchon, an easy stroll from the city centre, which boasts nearly a thousand traditional Korean homes, called

Hanok. Narrow laneways wrap around this treasured cluster of old Seoul, so it’s a dreamy place to get completely lost in, in contrast to the forest of skyscrapers.

Don’t miss Jogyesa Temple, the centre of Korean Buddhism. The temple was built in the late 14th century and reduced to ashes in a fire, before being rebuilt in 1910 by monks.

Draped across the site, it was the multi-coloured garlands of lanterns each bearing a personal wish, which lifted my spirits, when I ventured through the temple.

A retina-burning explosion of joyful, hope-filled colour. Much like Seoul, itself.

Lions steamroll Maori

By DylAn CleAveR The Lions are the ultimate partypoopers.

For the second time in as many weekends they rolled into town, found a local fanbase ready to party at their expense and quickly pulled the plug on the music.

Spies stationed at central city bars reported an influx of patrons from halfway through the second half, as many who were cold and wet on the banks of Rotorua International Stadium chose to leave (very) early in the realisation there was no way back for the Maori.

In many respects Rotorua felt the same as Christchurch, where the Lions sucked the life out of the Crusaders – a better side than the Maori All Blacks – and the majority of the crowd.

Whereas the tourists’ muscularity and line-speed defence were impressive in the broken southern city, in Rotorua they elevated those elements and added absolute setpiece authority to the mix, running out 32-10 winners.

You don’t have like the way they achieve they achieve their dominance – Saturday night was rugby’s version a stronger man hold a plastic bag over the head of a weakling and watching them writhe – but you might start to admire it.

So complete was the Lions’ strangulation, if you were forced to pick a man of the match for the Maori you would have probably gone for Tiki Taane, who delivered rousing pre-match and halftime performances.

You could argue that Rotorua signalled the start of the serious business.

The tourist town was fair fizz-

New Zealand-born Ben Te-o was just one of the thorns in the sides of the Maori as the Lions overpowered them on Saturday night.

ing as thousands of jetlagged Lions’ fans joined the fray after arriving in the country late this week.

On Friday night they packed the bars and restaurants of Eat

St and watched the All Blacks add some froth and bubble in an emphatic win over a weak Samoa side.

Warren Gatland and his coaching and management staff were

watching, too, at the brightly lit Ambrosia bar (much to the surprise of those British & Irish fans who walked off the street to be confronted by the men who will go a long way to determining whether their trip will be endured or unforgettable).

They would have seen some passages of play from the All Blacks that were scary good, but would have also recognised that Samoa were not able to challenge the All Blacks in any of the areas they will look to exploit.

Indeed, Gatland seemed fair bullish after the game, calling Hansen out for suggesting the Lions were going to call up a whole heap of extra bodies and split the squad into two (he got the first bit right at least). “[Hansen] has been doing a lot of press conferences and I can only take that as a sign of respect that he is a little bit worried.

“It’s unlike Steve and maybe he is worried by potentially how good this team can be.”

Gatland’s shots at Hansen could be ready many different ways.

It might be genuine frustration at outsiders questioning his methodology.

It might be mind games.

It might be a publicity stunt knowing that the country has gone America’s Cup crazy.

It most likely is, however, a simple case of two alpha-males who cannot bear the thought of the other one having the last word.

But you can twist Hansen’s accusation to find a truth that even Gatland would concede: the Lions can live with losing on Tuesdays if it means spoiling at least two more Saturday celebrations.

Mid-week Lions no easybeats for Chiefs

By Angelo Risso Chiefs boss Dave Rennie expects the British and Irish Lions’ midweek players to bring plenty of heat to their clash tomorrow, in the hope of scraping a spot on the bench for Saturday’s first test.

Rennie has named an understrength squad for the Hamilton match, with Aaron Cruden, Brodie Retallick, Sam Cane, Anton Lienert-Brown, Nathan Harris and Tawera Kerr-Barlow all absent due to their All Blacks test commitments.

Charlie Ngatai and Damian McKenzie, meanwhile, have not been asked to back up from their Maori All Blacks exploits on Saturday in Rotorua.

Chiefs veteran and 2011 Rugby World Cup hero Stephen Donald will skipper the inexperienced side, with Tim Nanai-Williams the only other member of the starting XV to play for the Chiefs more than 30 times.

Hikawera Elliot and Liam Messam will start from the bench.

Like the Chiefs, Warren Gatland’s Lions are expected to name an understrength side for the match, with their test in Auckland just days away.

Rennie predicted that Gatland, a Waikato native, would already have his test XV nailed down – but may still be looking for bench cover.

That would give Tuesday’s troops something to fight for.

“They’ve got a number of guys who will be keen to play test footy on this tour, and maybe there’s a chance to scrape some spots on the bench – (because) I imagine that Test XV will be nailed,” Rennie told reporters yesterday.

“I think they’ve got a lot to play for and likewise, for our guys, with the few guys we’ve got missing, (they’ll) be keen to make a bit of a statement.

“I’m sure he’s telling the players playing against us to get excited about it, to go out and play and put pressure on him and the other selectors.”

With Cruden and McKenzie

Stephen Donald absent, the 33-year-old Donald will direct proceedings from first-five, with Finlay Christie at halfback.

Nanai-Williams and Johnny Fa’auli line up in midfield, with a speedy back three of Shaun Stevenson, Toni Pulu and Solomon Alaimalo outside them.

Up front, Dominic Bird will look to continue his positive Super Rugby form in the second row, while Nepo Laulala has been chosen as tighthead prop.

Rennie said he had plenty of confidence in his young troops to get the job done.

“It’s an absolute privilege to play in this sort of fixture – we certainly don’t want the young fellas to be scared and go into their shell,” Rennie said.

“It’s not a mystery that we like to use the ball, try and play a high-tempo, high-skilled game of footy, and the Lions have been excellent at choking teams from doing that – so we’ve got a few challenges ahead of us.” - NZME

CHIEFS Shaun Stevenson, Toni Pulu, Tim Nanai-Williams, Johnny Fa’auli, Solomon Alaimalo, Stephen Donald (c), Finlay Christie, Tom Sanders, Lachlan Boshier, Mitchell Brown, Michael Allardice, Dominic Bird, Nepo Laulala, Liam Polwart, Siegried Fisi’ihoi.

Black Ferns outmuscled

By Angelo Risso England have secured the international women’s rugby series on Kiwi soil with a clinical 29-21 victory over the Black Ferns.

In what was a series decider between two hitherto unbeaten teams, the English had too much power for their opponents and dominated the set-piece.

They scored five tries to three in Rotorua, propelling themselves towards the Women’s Rugby World Cup with spirits high.

New Zealand, meanwhile, will lick their wounds after the defeat but maintained their chances at the World Cup remained positive.

“I thought the English team had a really good kicking game, and their drives and mauls were exceptional, so they got a lot of purchase off that,” Black Ferns boss Glenn Moore, who suffered his first defeat as coach, said.

“We expected it, did the training for it but just didn’t execute.

“We always expected this series here to be hard graft and it’s pretty difficult when you’ve got four-day turnarounds, but having said that, that’s what we’re going to experience when we’re away – so it’s a good lead-in to that.”

The Red Roses opened the scoring early, with centre Emily Scarratt capitalising on a line-break from Lydia Thompson to go over in the fourth minute.

But the Black Ferns didn’t take long to bounce back – and did so in style, with halfback Kendra Cocksedge nailing an inch-perfect chip and chase to score.

Speedy winger Portia Woodman then nabbed an intercept and streaked the length of the field to put her side in front, before English lock Abbie Scott sent the sides into the half-time break at parity with a late five-pointer.

At 14-14, the game was evenly poised heading into the second stanza, until a pair of tries within 15 minutes gave the Red Roses the upper hand.

The ever-impressive Thompson scored down the right edge to wrest back the lead, before openside Marlie Packie secured another from a drive.

Shaken, the Black Ferns simply couldn’t earn enough second-half territory to recover their position, and became bogged down at the set-piece.

And eventually, England made them pay – with Vicki Fleetwood going over from another lineout drive in the 68th minute, rendering Victoria Subritsky-Nafatali’s late Black Ferns try no more than a consolation.

Saturday marked the start of the 2017 Watters Cup campaign, with varied results in the two matches.

Methven played host to coholders Southern, and couldn’t have got off to a better start.

Michael Ellis’ side was reeling after Methven burst out of the blocks to score three tries within the first 10 minutes.

“We were very slow at starting,” said Ellis.

“We didn’t have much of the ball, but to the boys’ credit they stuck in and got the result.”

Southern scored 31 unanswered points after Methven’s opening blitz, to take home the full five points available.

Securing a bonus point victory will be a big focus for Ellis’ side, as they face a struggling Hampstead next weekend.

“It is a bit of an unknown.

“Like any time we will be going out for the bonus point victory.”

Ellis said he was happy with the 70 minutes of work his side had put in, and believed that it would provide a good confidence boost for the team.

“There were no real standout players today, it was a good team effort,” he said.

“The bench made a big impact, we had four forwards come on

Folau the main man Michael Cheika wants more aerial ball for Israel Folau after the soaring fullback’s spectacular try highlighted an otherwise forgettable Wallabies 19-24 loss against Scotland. Folau’s effort to leap high above Scottish fullback Greig Tonks and reel in Bernard Foley’s pinpoint crossfield kick reminded AFL fans what they let go when the code hopper left the GWS Giants to play rugby in 2013. It also showed Cheika what Folau can offer the Wallabies the more his teammates get ball to the dual international – however they can.

and they brought some good energy to the game.”

Methven coach Andy Pearce said he was disappointed with the result, but was pleased with his team’s performance at points.

“Pretty early we had an injury to our centre and that rocked us a bit,” he said.

“We lost our way and they got in to the game and played to their strengths.”

With the bye in the next round, Pearce said the focus will now

be working on the team before their match against Celtic in two weeks’ time.

Celtic and Hampstead were the two other sides in action, facing off at the Ashburton Showgrounds.

Celtic cruised to a comfortable 62-3 against Hampstead.

Despite the large margin of victory, Celtic co-coach Shane Enright was still not too pleased with his side’s performance.

“We did some good things in

the second-half, but really we just sort of played Hampstead at their sort of game in the first half, so that is disappointing,” he said.

“Before the game we talked about getting our standards up there if we are going to compete against Methven, Southern and Rakaia.”

The other co-holders of the trophy, Rakaia, sat out the first round with a bye, and will be back in action next week as they take on Celtic.

Tired of being Scotland the brave, now Gregor Townsend’s men are poised to be officially better than Australia for the first time after a stirring 24-19 win over the Wallabies in Sydney. In a redemption of sorts for a controversial one-point loss to the Wallabies in the 2015 Rugby World Cup quarter-finals, the Scots are set to climb to fourth in the world rankings today, with Australia in danger of slipping from third to as low as sixth. “I don’t think we speak enough about the skills that the guys have,” elated captain John Barclay said. - AAP

England clinch series Charlie Ewels, Piers Francis and Will Collier scored their first international rugby tries as England wrapped up a 2-0 series win over Argentina with a 35-25 victory in another breathtaking yest match.

After snatching a 38-34 win in the first yest in San Juan, a youthful England were once more pushed all the way by the Pumas, who thrived on the raucous atmosphere generated by a crowd of 29,750 at Estadio CA Colon in Santa Fe. England could only breathe easy when man-of-the-match George Ford kicked a drop goal seven minutes from time.

Irish thrash Japan Ireland have scored seven tries to overpower Japan 50-22 in a test featuring two teams who will meet in the group stage of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Keith Earls scored Ireland’s first try on on Saturday in the 11th minute and, with Heiichiro Ito in the sin bin, the visitors added 21 points from two tries by Dan Leavy and another by Jack Conan for a 31-3 halftime lead.

Garry Ringrose and Earls added late tries before Kenki Fukuoka and Yutaka Nagare crossed to give the hosts a boost heading into the final test on June 24.

Evergreens fight out a thrilling draw

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

For most rugby teams, every game finishing in a draw might become a bit frustrating, however, for the MSA Evergreens, it is just all part of the fun.

Yesterday, the side took to the field at Celtic’s grounds to take on Kaiapoi in their fourth game of the 2017 season, which even-

tually finished a 17-17 draw.

Evergreens captain Gary Wright said the team was purely focused on having fun and playing in the spirit of the game.

“It is made up of old players who used to play the game a bit more seriously.

“It is just about going out there and playing to your ability,” he said.

“The oldest player I’ve ever played against is 82.

“One of the oldest we have is 68.”

Wright said if players don’t want to be tackled they wear red shorts, but that a match is not very dangerous.

“We are probably more likely to injure ourselves doing the gardening, bending down to pick

up some weeds or something,” he said.

“Sometimes we can’t get a full team together and we’ll have to mix up the teams, but that’s okay, it is just about having a game and playing in the spirit.”

The MSA Evergreens have been around for roughly 20 years, with player numbers fluctuating throughout that time.

Fiji field goal pips Italy Five-eighth Ben Volavola has kicked a field goal in the second minute of injury time to give Fiji a 22-19 win over Italy in their rugby test in Suva. Volavola’s opposite Tomasso Allan had kicked a penalty three minutes earlier to draw Italy level at 19-19 after they had trailed 19-9. A draw seemed the likely outcome until lock Leone Nakarawa led a length-of-the- field break by Fiji with time almost up.

The 95-metre raid almost ended in a remarkable match-winning try to Jale Vatubua but the centre dropped the final pass with the line open. Fiji stayed on the attack, won a penalty advantage after the siren and Volavola calmly slotted the field goal.

All Whites off to a bad start

Peter Burling, helmsman for Emirates Team New Zealand, steers as they cross the line to win the second race against Oracle Team USA during their America’s Cup match sailing competition yesterday.

■ AMERICA’S CUP

Flying start for Team NZ Team New Zealand have made the best possible start in the America’s Cup final with two wins over Team USA, leaving the Kiwis 1-0 ahead after the first day of racing in Bermuda’s Great Sound.

The New Zealand team’s double victory erased a one-point advantage the US earned in the round-robin qualifying regatta.

The Kiwi boat showed superior speed in both races in the first direct comparison of the hightech 50-foot catamarans’ performance as match racing got under way in Bermuda’s Great Sound.

Team New Zealand helmsman Peter Burling won both the starts against defending US champion Jimmy Spithill, despite having

less match racing experience.

Team NZ took the first race by 30 seconds and the second by one minute, 28 seconds.

After race two, Kiwi skipper Glenn Ashby praised the way his crew had handled the tricky conditions and unpredictable winds.

“It was obviously a fantastic rally by the boys, particularly the guys forward today – just a massive effort on the hydraulic front,” he said.

Ashby said the shifty winds had meant huge movement on the dagger boards and wing, and both teams had made mistakes.

“You never stopped trimming something for the whole day,” he said.

“It was one of the days when it

was pretty hard to screen every single puff and every single shift together – you had to let a couple go to make sure you played the longer game.”

Spithill acknowledged his crew had a lot of work to do.

“We were far from our best today.

“We need to sharpen up and that’s what we’ll focus on tonight,” he said.

Both teams have modified their boats, and the two light wind duels showed the Kiwis’ pace.

In light easterly winds, the New Zealand team’s foils, which lift the boat out of the water at speed, appeared more efficient, consolidating the Kiwis’ reputation as light wind specialists.

Team USA were over the line in the first start, allowing New Zealand to gain an advantage and extend their lead during the race, despite an uncomfortable moment at the last mark, when the Kiwis came off their foils.

“I’m not happy with how we sailed today, even though we’ve got two points on the board,” Burling said.

The second race saw a tense start, which was also won by New Zealand.

The Kiwis led for much of the race, despite Oracle closing to three seconds after a wind shift put them back in touch.

The Americans fell back, however, allowing New Zealand to secure their second win. - NZME

The All Whites first foray at the Confederations Cup has ended in defeat, with a 2-0 loss to the host nation yesterday.

Russia were good value for their win, as only the woodwork and several impressive saves by New Zealand goalkeeper Stefan Marinovic prevented a more emphatic scoreline.

It was a damaging result for the All Whites, with much tougher tests against Mexico and Portugal to come.

New Zealand had some chances – with Ryan Thomas denied by a brilliant save from Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, and a Tommy Smith header cleared off the line – but both opportunities came late in the second half, when the sting had been taken out of the game.

Marinovic and Thomas were the standouts for New Zealand, while the back three of Andrew Durante, Tommy Smith and Michael Boxall fought manfully against the odds.

Russia opened the scoring through midfielder Denis Glushakov in the 31st minute, though the goal was later credited to Michael Boxall, with the defender getting the last touch as he tried to clear.

The second goal almost resembled a training ground exercise, with Fedor Smolov slotting home in the 69 minute from a pinpoint cross, after the Russian Premier League golden boot had strolled through from the halfway line before sending the ball wide.

Much of the match wasn’t pretty viewing from an All Whites’ point of view.

They were untidy in possession and wasted the few opportunities they had. Chris Wood eschewed two good shooting chances, while delivery was poor from the rare set pieces they earned.

It meant they were constantly under pressure, and midway through the first half their midfielders, in particular, looked exhausted.

The Russian side had worked out the All Whites’ pressing strategy and played around it. - NZME

Spithill’s war of words comes crashing to an end

By Chris rattue

T

he mind game shackles have been broken: it is over and out for Jimmy Spithill in his calculated war of words with Team New Zealand.

This 35th America’s Cup game ain’t over, not by a long shot if the winds pick up. But Spithill’s War is a goneburger.

Spithill can still do plenty of talking on the water. If he keeps trying it on in the press room, but deaf ears await after he bombed following the first two races.

Maybe Spithill the Manipula-

tor had been cast off by Team NZ anyway – it’s hard to tell with Peter Burling who limits any public duelling to the contest between his eyes and his eyebrows.

Spithill’s hold has gone. The 8-1 business from 2013, the scars of the San Francisco capitulation, the brilliant way Spithill held his nerve and talked the Kiwis into doubt four years ago – they all feel like history after the first two races this time. Until now, Jimmy was still living on past verbal glories in this regatta. He felt able to tell the world – but really Peter Burling – about TNZ’s “fundamental

mistakes” earlier in the regatta.

The unflappable Burling, Team New Zealand’s rookie match racer, may make mistakes, but getting Spithill-ed won’t be one of them from here on.

The brilliant Aussie match racer fell into his own trap, by claiming boat speed wasn’t an issue after the rest of us watched Oracle eat a lot of soggy dust. In reality, Team NZ’s boat designers have performed budget miracles. They should stand front of float, if this gets to the parade stage. Boat speed WAS everything.

Sporting psychological warfare

needs a grain of truth to feed on.

Spithill was gulping on light air.

He’s trying to sell a pup compared to Team NZ’s speedy cat under 10 or 12 knots of wind.

Oracle can still win this, if Spithill can bring his match racing brilliance and Tom Slingsby’s tactical acumen into play in stronger conditions. Otherwise ...light winds, game over.

I like Spithill. Sport in this part of the world needs more Spithills. But he’s gone overboard. His claim that boat speed wasn’t an issue sounded stale, tired, silly.

The belligerent Aussie has

revelled in using the public forum to play mind games with Team New Zealand, while we in the media are delighted to play along because he makes great copy and brings an edge to the competition.

These were such crushing defeats that Spithill failed to even sound like he was talking tough.

Behind the scenes – different story one would suggest. Spithill will have walked straight from that press conference and eyeballed his boat designers.

He might even have found them beforehand. There is no time to waste.

In brief

■ TRENTHAM

Spelling paddock after win Hardy campaigner Blathwayt is heading to the spelling paddock on top of the world after scoring a comprehensive victory at Trentham on the weekend.

The ghostly grey bagged win number nine from 39 career starts as he gave weight and a beating to his rivals in the Nelson Pine Industries Handicap, the main flat race on the day’s programme.

In a muddling run race rider Jonathan Riddell seized the initiative approaching the home bend as he grabbed a lead that his mount refused to surrender in a slogging finish on the Heavy10 rated Trentham surface.

Trainer Albie MacGregor was pleased with the win as he looks forward to a spring campaign with the rising eight-year-old.

“As you know he’s had a few problems in the last eighteen months but I think he’s finally over them now,” he said.

“He spent plenty of time out on the hills at Polly MacDonald’s place in Masterton and that seemed to bring him right.

“He is going to go for a break now and he will head up there again as he just loves it and really thrives on that hill work.

“We’ve never really thought he was a true winter horse as he doesn’t like the deep stuff.

He handled it okay on Saturday as it wasn’t a typical Trentham winter surface but I don’t want him slogging around when he can be having a break before we get him ready for the spring.”

MacGregor is keen to take an-

Fully Funded will go for his winter break off the back of his Ruakaka success with loftier targets awaiting the sprinter in the new season. The freegoing chestnut won for the seventh time in his career on Saturday when he prevailed for rider Sam Spratt in a blanket finish to the Bream Bay Design & Print Bowl. “He got caught three wide for a little bit before Sam pushed forward and he got his nose in front at the right time,” trainer Joanne Surgenor said.

- NZME

Welcome result The connections of Kaharau received a degree of compensation on Saturday after missing out on a far bigger cheque earlier this year. “We had him sold to South Australia as a jumper, but he failed the vet,” said part-owner Kenny Rae, who trains the five-year-old.

“He’s still a pretty handy horse.”

Kaharau proved that on his home track at Ruakaka when he was successful in the Lawson Cartage Bream Bay Cup, the seventh win of his career.

- NZME

Jumper repays faith Blathwayt gets home for Jonathan Riddell at Trentham on Saturday. other shot at the New Zealand Cup at Riccarton with Blathwayt after coming up short when he was favourite for the race back in 2015.

“We think he’s still got it in him to win a race like the New Zealand Cup so that’s where our thoughts have been lately,” he admitted.

“Now he’s gotten over his issues we’d like to go back and

have another go at it.

“He’s been a pretty happy horse of late as we have varied his work and even done a little bit of schooling with him.

“He jumps very well and he really enjoys himself, but we don’t see him racing over the fences as they are more of an aid in giving him something different to do.”

MacGregor will have his hands full with stablemate Finn who finished a handy third in his first run of a new campaign on the weekend.

“He’s a tough bugger who is well suited when the tracks are a bog,” he said.

“He went a beauty on Saturday and I expect him to get better as he gets fitter with a few more runs under his belt.”

- NZME

Malacanto makes up for last start disappointment An unlucky run for third at her last start hinted that Malacanto was ready to head back to the winner’s enclosure at short notice and that proved the case when she prevailed in a driving finish to the Red Stag Timber Handicap at Trentham on the weekend.

The Per Incanto mare had

Group One in mind

looked to as though she could be a star winter performer when she won three of her first 5 starts, the last of those at Otaki in August.

Since then the mare had endured a run of outs that finally came to an end on Saturday as she produced a powerful finishing burst to stride clear of her

six rivals and notch win number four for trainer, part owner and co-breeder Ian Wyeth.

“I’m very happy with her as she got knocked over two starts ago,” he explained after the race.

“She went pretty well at Wanganui last time out so we had our fingers crossed today that

things would go alright.”

Rider Robbie Hannam was at his cheeky best when questioned about the performance as he admitted he was at fault on the mare when beaten at her last run.

“I think you can come out and say I went too soon last time,” he grinned.

- NZME

Patience and perseverance gained their reward when The Oysterman upstaged his better-performed rivals at Trentham. The rising 10year-old had gone winless in nine previous starts over the big fences and in 11 flat outings before he triumphed in Saturday’s Manawatu Steeplechase. The Oysterman and rider Hamish McNeill were up with the play throughout the 4000 metre contest and when the favourite The Big Opal came to grief about 1000 metres from home they went for gold. - NZME

Aussie trip looms Progressive three-year-old Toorak Tower could be on the move to Australia and on Saturday he banked expenses for a possible relocation across the Tasman. The chestnut capitalised on a dream rails run to take major honours in the Northland Veterinary Group 1600 under Alysha Collett, who sported the silks of Victorian nursery Rosemont Stud. “There are a lot of opportunities in Melbourne so he may go to be trained over there,” said Chris Gibbs, who prepares the gelding with Donna Logan.

■ INDOOR BOWLS

TRADES, SERVICES

Pipped at the post Ashburton indoor bowlers came close to the fairytale finish at the New Zealand Indoor Bowls Championships in Taupo on the weekend.

After a fruitless week on the mats for the contingent of players from Ashburton who attended the week-long event Michael Lawson and Matt Markham went within a whisker, for the second year in a row, in the New Zealand Open Fours.

They finished runner-up to a strong North Island composite team consisting of current and past New Zealand representatives Ashley Diamond, Paul Wright and Sheree Holmes along with North Island representative, Richard Caddy.

Lawson and Markham, who were playing with Daniel French from Otago and Chris McAdam from Upper Hutt Valley, finished second in the same event 12 months ago, so could have been forgiven for feeling like there was a case of déjà vu in the offing for them on Saturday evening.

To get to the final, the quartet, playing under the banner of the Rakaia club, faced some tough opposition, including clubmate Simon Thomas, but managed to do the necessary to get through each round before making the final.

After starting strong, the four found themselves under pressure from the pre-

By Matt Coughlan Ford star Scott McLaughlin has sealed a stellar weekend for DJR Team Penske in Darwin with a dominant victory in yesterday’s Supercars race.

The 24-year-old New Zealander denied Holden’s Jamie Whincup a drought-breaking win, continuing the six-time champion’s winless start to the season.

McLaughlin’s victory in the 70-lap event at Hidden Valley Raceway took Kiwi drivers’ winning tally to 11 this season after the opening 12 races.

The win catapulted McLaughlin above Whincup in the championship standings, to second, 10 points behind stablemate Fabian Coulthard who took out Saturday’s 42-lap race.

“I feel like we’re close now and it’s great to have it one-two with the team,” McLaughlin said.

“It’s early days but it’s good for the morale back in Stapylton and hopefully we can carry this on towards the end of the year.”

While Whincup’s frustrating run rolls on, he remains in the championship hunt 16 points adrift of Coulthard.

The Red Bull Racing ace got the perfect start after he jumped the pole-sitting McLaughlin and led for the majority of the race’s first half.

But McLaughlin regained the ascendancy when Whincup made his second pit stop at the end of the 41st lap.

From there it was a sprint to the end, with McLaughlin opening up a lead of more than five seconds in the middle stages.

While tyre failure put a dampener McLaughlin’s victory burnout, he was still delighted to be able to scorch some rubber in the race’s aftermath.

“I really enjoyed the strategy and how we had to get a bit of pace there and try and throw some qualifying laps to try and jump Jamie,” McLaughlin said.

Whincup said the team had made improvements from the last round in Winton.

“I’m always a big believer in the quickest

Kiwi driver Scott McLaughlin in action. car should win,” Whincup said. “The quickest car won this weekend. We were second quickest and happy to maximise our performance.”

Whincup’s team-mate Shane van Gisbergen was happy to finish third after a frustrating weekend with a mystery issue plaguing his Commodore.

There was daylight between the defending series champion and fourth-placegetter Coulthard.

Brad Jones Racing’s Tim Slade rounded out the top five.

The championship heads to Townsville next month.

Meanwhile Supercars’ youngest driver Alex Rullo has apologised after almost causing a high-speed crash when he failed to check his mirror while exiting pit lane.

The 17-year-old, who was given a fulltime racing licence on Friday, pulled out of the pits in front of Holden veteran Garth Tander during yesterday’s qualifying session at Hidden Valley Raceway.

Tander was on a hot lap and had to swerve to avoid making contact in the straight, where speeds nudging 270km/h have been reached over the weekend.

“It’s 110 per cent my fault, I didn’t actually check my mirror,” Rullo said.

“Sorry to Garth, I wasn’t sure if he was on a lap or not but we’ll know for next time even if it’s not a blue flag be sure to check the mirrors.”

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Separate what is said from who says it. This is how you clear your own prejudice from the information. Context is important to meaning, but the most integral information will stand up to several contexts.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your personal rules for yourself warrant examination. You’re different now. You need other things, and what you face in the future will be a completely new challenge. Time for new rules.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The higher-maintenance a person is the less free he or she is. Knowing how to live with less gives a person power.

To let go of needing this or that – it’s the way to a lighter, brighter spirit.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re not lost, yet you’re experiencing a drifting feeling, as though your raft, gently tugged by the waves, is suddenly slightly farther from the shore than is comfortable. Time to paddle home.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The unmanageable parts of life won’t be the difficult ones; rather, it’s the lovely ones in need of prioritising that will require your most critical faculties and diligent efforts.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Among the saddest words are “if only”. An opposite grouping is something along the lines of “I accept”. “I accept” will bring you today’s peace, if not joy.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ve a way of encouraging loved ones that is absolutely unbeatable.

There will be no substitute for your presence.

It will be extremely important that you show up in person if even remotely possible.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You tend to feel deeper into the situation than others will, and that is your strength. It means you can hurt more but it also gives you greater motivation to make things right through work, love and creativity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re not above using sneaky ways to get people to do what you want them to do, especially because what you want them to do is better for them and for everyone else involved, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Questions get us through.

Good questions make the day better. Ask, “How can I bring a little more (love, levity, clarity...) to the situation?” It is also lucky for you to ask questions for which there are no answers.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Be careful how you help people. There will be a natural tendency to rush in and give what you have, but that’s not always best. Let people show you what they need first.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Science and art are not opposites as suggested by some dictionaries. You’ll meld the two in today’s endeavour, finding a beautiful arrangement of facts and a reasonable order to fantasy.

Thompson leads Classic American golfer Lexi Thompson has a one-shot lead going into the final round of the Meijer LPGA Classic in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Thompson shot a 64 on Saturday at the Blythefield layout which has been reduced to a par of 69 because of flooding. Coming off a playoff loss to Ariya Jutanugarn last week in Canada, Thompson had six birdies and a bogey to reach 15-under 196.

Brooke Henderson, the leader after each of the first two rounds, had a 67 to drop into a tie for second with Lee-Anne Pace (61), Sung Hyun Park (62) and Jenny Shin (63). Lydia Ko (64) followed at 11 under.

Boyd ‘a risk’ at centre

Under fire Queensland coach Kevin Walters admits it is a risk to throw Darius Boyd into the centres opposite NSW star Josh Dugan in Wednesday night’s State of Origin II two in Sydney.

Test fullback Boyd was expected to move to the left wing, where he had played 24 of his 27 Origins after veteran Billy Slater reclaimed his Maroons No.1 jersey for game two.

However, Walters raised eyebrows by moving Boyd to left centre and putting him on a collision course with Blues strike weapon Dugan.

Tactix in stunning win The ANZ Premiership playoff race will come down to the final game of the regular season after a colossal chokejob by the Northern Mystics yesterday.

The Mystics merely needed to lose by less than five against the 10-1 outsider Mainland Tactix to secure their spot in the playoffs, while a win would have likely earned them hosting rights for the preliminary final.

Instead, a 57-46 humbling by the Tactix leaves the Mystics’ playoff hopes out of their control.

The Mystics sit in the third and final playoff spot on 19 points,

but could be overtaken on goal percentage by the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic.

To do so, the Magic would have to beat the Northern Stars by 16 goals or more – an unlikely scenario, considering the Magic have lost six of their last seven games, but by no means impossible.

Potentially aiding the Magic is that the Stars will have nothing to play for, but neither did the Tactix, and they put in their best showing of the season to blow away the Mystics.

The Tactix had claimed just one win all season, but shone in

Donald to lead Chiefs v Lions P16

their final game, earning 59 per cent possession and hoisting 21 more shots than the Mystics.

It was a drastic turnaround after the two sides’ earlier meetings, in which the Mystics claimed comfortable 12 and 24 goal victories.

“We’ve been hiding that all season, haven’t we,” joked Tactix goal attack Anna Thompson.

“We had nothing to lose and were much more consistent, I’m so proud of the girls.”

The Mystics were without veteran defender Anna Harrison, but that didn’t account for their sloppy display, with a slew of er-

rors giving the Tactix deserved dominance.

“We didn’t respond, it was incredibly painful to be watching,” said Harrison, who will be a nervous observer on Wednesday night when the Magic take on the Stars.

“We can’t be in a position where you’re relying on other people, we needed to prove it and do it ourselves.”

The result means that the Central Pulse will host the preliminary final next Sunday. They can go into the playoffs on a high when they take on the 14-0 Southern Steel tonight. - NZME

Ostapenko steps in The Aegon Classic in Birmingham lost its star attraction lwhen Maria Sharapova announced her thigh injury has still not healed. But there is a silver lining: the new French Open champion, Jelena Ostapenko, is available instead. In a statement on her Facebook page, Sharapova said “the muscle tear that I sustained in Rome will unfortunately not allow me to compete in the tournaments I was scheduled to play”. In the meantime, Ostapenko promises to make a more than adequate replacement.
