Kombucha bar coming P2

Colleges welcome Korean students BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Feutz, Sabo on the ball P15

Ashburton and Mount Hutt colleges will be hosting students from Korea next term as part of the Free Trade Agreement between New Zealand and Korea. Canterbury will be home to 55 Korean high school students for the next eight weeks, with 11 schools hosting students. The visitors are aged between 14 and 16 years old and come from rural and semi-rural communities in Korea; the Canterbury contingent is part of a larger group of 150 coming to New Zealand on scholarships to improve their English language skills. Mount Hutt College deputy principal Kristine Canham said it was an exciting time for those involved, though the five students coming to Methven were probably a little nervous about their ad-

venture. The students will live with local families in homestays. All 55 students coming to Canterbury schools will be officially welcomed to the region at a special ceremony at Pudding Hill Lodge tomorrow. Attending the ceremony will be tertiary education, skills and employment minister Steven Joyce and senior education officials from Korea and New Zealand. Korean chaperones, and students from the hosting Canterbury schools will also be there to welcome the students. New Zealand and Korea have committed to running the programme for three years, with 150 students coming to New Zealand each year. The programme is a key outcome of the Free Trade Agreement, which came into force in December last year.

A rigorous nationwide selection process was held in Korea to choose students for the programme, which is run by the Korean Agency of Education, Promotion and Information Service in Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. About 7500 Korean students came to New Zealand last year to study at universities, schools, polytechnics and English language schools. Other Canterbury schools hosting Korean students next term include Rangiora High School, Kaiapoi High School, Darfield High School, Mountainview High School, Timaru Boys’ High School, Craighead Diocesan, Geraldine High School, Oxford Area School and Lincoln High School. Korea has the world’s 13th largest economy and is New Zealand’s sixth largest export destination.

■ BACK TO BASICS

Chance to investigate Kombucha’s health benefits By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton’s first Kombucha bar will be on show next Friday night during a Back to Basics fundraiser. The evening will also feature the Food Matters documentary, detailing how food affects our health. The documentary was released in 2008 and features doctors, health professors and nutritionists speaking about the relationship between food and certain diseases. Kombucha is a type of fermented tea and drinkers have claimed its health benefits range from strengthening gut bacteria and the immune system, to curing diseases. It’s made by combining tea, sugar and the bacteria called SCOBY, which stands for ‘symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.’ The mixture is fermented for about four or five days, until it starts to get slightly fizzy, then it’s

bottled and keeps for up to four weeks. Grace and Brent Henry, who have been making the tea for two years, are in charge of brewing it all for the night. She said they first got into Kombucha when their friend introduced it to them. Mrs Henry said the combinations are endless, any flavour of tea can be used and it’s very economical to make, with just the cost of tea, sugar and the culture involved. There will also be other probiotic foods like sauerkraut served during the evening. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids and funds go towards the Back to Basics Expo and include prizes, nibbles and access to the Kombucha bar. The fundraiser is at 6.30pm, Friday July 29 at the New Life Church at Tinwald. To buy a ticket contact Julia Crosson on 027 666 0224 or Katie Esler on 027 337 2571.

■ SMOKEFREE BY 2025

Push for plain tobacco packaging A world-renowned anti-tobacco campaigner has arrived in New Zealand to push the Government on introducing plain tobacco packaging. While plain packaging for tobacco is likely to be in place early next year, the Government is consulting on the move, including design for packs. Ahead of the cut-off for consultation at the end of this month, Kylie Lindorff, chair of Cancer Council Australia’s tobacco is-

had begun to achieve its public health objectives of reducing smoking and exposure to tobacco smoke, and was expected to continue to do so into the future. “Research conducted after the implementation of standardised packaging in Australia has shown the tobacco industry is still finding way to advertise to consumers,” said Ms Lindorff, who will be giving a seminar on packaging in Auckland tomorrow .

sues committee, this week flew in to help drum up support for the measure, which she wanted introduced as soon as possible. Since standardised packaging was enforced in Australia in 2012, there had been an increase in people wanting to quit smoking, along with an ongoing reduction in smoking up-take. A post-implementation review of standardised packaging in Australia concluded the tobacco standardised packaging measure

“For instance, brand and variant names of tobacco products flourished after standardised packaging was adopted in an attempt to remind smoker of the supposed brand differences their old decorated packs conveyed. New Zealand should learn from this and restrict brand and variant names.” Cancer Society Auckland’s chief executive, John Loof, said he hoped the Government

would learn what had happened in Australia. “Standardised packaging has proven to be effective and legally viable in Australia,” he said. “The longer we wait, the further removed we are from achieving the Government’s goal of a Smoke-free Aotearoa by 2025.” Tobacco use remained the leading cause of preventable death in New Zealand, with 4500 to 5000 deaths every year.

Struggling to find staff By Colin EngElBrECht

ments and their frailty,” she said. An ageing working population is also something that is adding to the struggle to find nurses, a recent article in the Dissector Magazine showed that over 50 per cent of perioperative nurses are over 40 years old. Mrs Green said there was definitely an older nursing population. She said the recent introduction of the InterRAI tool, computer programme used to assess residents which was made mandatory last year, has led staff to leave the work force. InterRAI is a comprehensive assessment tool that is used on all residents of aged care homes. Mrs Green said all registered nurses have to be trained to use it which has resulted in some nurses, particularly older ones, deciding they no longer wanted to nurse in aged care. Doctor Andrew said the age demographic of nurses was something that has been a fact for many years and younger nurses may not want to go into aged care due to the demands of the job. Students are not discouraged from entering the aged care industry, and work with elderly right through the course. However, many choose to go and work somewhere they can be a junior registered nurse because often in aged care there is only one RN on duty, she said. Mrs Green said she had also employed graduate nurses. “I can’t fault new graduates, I’ve employed them over the years and they’re wonderful nurses,” she said.

Finding registered nurses to work in rest homes is becoming a challenge in Ashburton. Vicki Green, who owns Greenvale Group with her husband, said there are currently four or five facilities looking for registered nurses. Greenvale Group operates Coldstream and Princes Court in Ashburton, and Clare House and Rose Lodge in Invercargill. She said rest homes often had to compete with the hospital for nurses as well. In smaller communities like Ashburton there is a limited workforce, which is part of the staffing issue. Recently Cameron Courts rest home was placed under temporary management due to staffing issues. Carolyn Gullery, Canterbury DHB General Manager Planning and Funding, said staffing is more challenging in smaller communities where the workforce pool is limited and facilities may struggle to find and retain skilled staff. Mrs Green said all rest homes are also certified and audited to ensure they meet appropriate standards of care. “It’s challenging to find the right registered nurses who want to nurse in aged care,” she said. Rest homes with hospital wings are required to have a nurse on site 24/7 as well. Dr Cathy Andrew, head of nursing at Ara Institute said aged care is often an area that is challenging to staff. “They’re complex to look after because of their medical require-

■ EASTFIELD

Building demolition under way Demolition is under way on the first of three buildings to be cleared from the site of the $40 million Eastfield precinct. The two-storey building that was once home to Safer Ashburton is now a pile of bricks and rubble. Two other buildings on Tancred Street are also to be demolished by Greg Donaldson Contracting. The precinct is being devel-

oped by Eastfield Investments and chairman Brian Davidson said the whole building site was expected to be cleared by the end of August; the scale and scope of the project would then be obvious. Situated between Burnett, Cass and Tancred Streets, Eastfield will include an 80-bed hotel development, as well as a medical facility and hospitality and retail space.

It is designed around a central square, with laneways to a sheltered space. Work is already under way at the precinct, with construction commencing on the new Ministry of Social Development building in May. The master plan allows for a staged process of development, with the total project estimated to take over three years to complete.

In brief

■ ASHBURTON DOMAIN

Domain rose garden gets a makeover A rose garden makeover is set to transform the appeal of the Ashburton Domain this spring. Staff have been hard at work over the winter months digging up the old garden, turning over the soil, adding fertiliser and putting in irrigation. New borders will also be planted around the re-configured gardens. Ashburton District Council garden supervisor Michael Power said work was well under way. “We want to make it all a bit grander with a big splash of colour, lots of varieties and a decorative hedge around the whole space,” Mr Power said. The new rose garden will have three entrances and the pathways will be wide enough for two people to walk side by side. “We know that the garden is often used by wedding parties and hope that by the time we finish, the new space will bring a lot of joy to those who want to go and enjoy this special part of our domain,” he added. Mr Power said the project will take up to two years to be fully completed, but in the meantime encourages visitors to the Ashburton Domain to come over and check on progress from time to time. “It would be great to hear from people who might have a special memory or photo from the old rose garden to share with us.”

All five individuals who were involved in Monday’s three-car crash on Hinds Highway have been released from Ashburton Hospital. Sergeant Janine Bowden said they were treated for bruising from seatbelts and the impact of the crash. She said the investigation is ongoing as to what caused the crash.

Splash deck to be replaced He said toddlers had naturally soft skin, made worse by being in the water. Of the thousands who had used the pool, there had been only a few complaints. The Ashburton mum said she had complained twice about the non-slip surface and a post on social media had attracted similar complaints. Some reported bleeding. Her three-year-old and another younger child had left with black feet and knees and abrasions that looked like carpet

The surface has generated a handful of complaints since the opening just over a year ago; the black residue does wash off though. A mum-of-two, who asked not to be named, said she was more concerned about the grazes that resulted from abrasive non-slip tiles in the toddlers’ pool. Mr Prescott said these were industry standard and would not be changed. A grippy surface was vital for young swimmers so they could keep their footing.

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The splash deck area around the toddlers’ pool at the EA Networks Centre is to be replaced because it is turning kids’ feet black. Centre manager Steve Prescott said the transfer of colour made it unfit for purpose and the replacement cost would be borne by the manufacturer. The work would be carried out over several days in the next month or so.

A man has been charged after allegedly assaulting two people with a chisel in a hospital emergency room. The man allegedly attacked the two victims, members of one family, at Palmerston North Hospital yesterday morning. One of the victims ended up in surgery as a result of the injury.

Reserve Bank decision Speaking from Indonesia, Prime Minister John Key said the Reserve Bank had made the “right decision”, and the moves were one small part of solving the housing issue. Yesterday’s proposals would likely help young people locked out of the housing market, Key said. “In theory it helps a little bit because what it essentially does is it make it a little bit more difficult, and a little less economic for an investor to buy a property, so by definition that leaves that property more available to a first-home buyer.” - NZME

Do you remember playing games like hopscotch and marbles when you were younger? The kids at the BASE Youth Centre holiday programme got the chance to play and learn some old-fashioned games yesterday. The BASE holiday programme has been running all school holidays from 2pm to 5pm and caters for children ages 10-14. “We usually have a registration, but this time it turned into a drop in kind of thing,” Kerryn Gray said. Many of the children had played the games before and a favourite choice was ‘Hide the Thimble.’ The other games included chain tag, hoop rolling, marbles, hot potato, musical chairs, statues and hopscotch. The BASE holiday programme was held in the YMCA after the building where it was originally held was demolished.

Remanded in custody The following appeared before Judge Gary MacAskill in the Ashburton District Court this week: Ryan James Scarth, 24, of Netherby, was remanded in custody by consent on three charges of receiving stolen property and one obtaining by deception. He will reappear on August 9. Darrian John Corbett, 20, of Ashburton, was convicted on charges of driving while disqualified, failing to stop for police signals and dangerous driving. He was sentenced to 100 hours of community work, nine months supervision and disqualified from driving for nine months. Elger Valdivia Del Heriro, of Ashburton, admitted drink driving with an excess breath alcohol level of 771 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath (EBA 771mcg/l). He was convicted, fined $975, ordered to pay court costs of $130 and disqualified from driving for six months. Teofila Afato, 29, of Hampstead, admitted a charge of drink driving (EBA 575mcg/l). He was fined $750, ordered to pay court costs of $130, and disqualified from driving for six months. Shaun Richard Thomas Redman, 25, of Willowby, was convicted and sentenced to 80 hours of community detention and disqualified from driving for six months on a charge of driving while disqualified.

Mid Canterbury people keen to advance their business skills can now study toward a business degree without having to leave town. The Ara Institute of Canterbury will be offering courses for a Bachelor of Applied Management at its Ashburton campus for the first time. Learning will be a combination of faceto-face, intensive and online study. Business lecturer Dr Frina Albertyn said the degree course would bring new expertise and opportunities to the district. It would also give people who had completed a Diploma in Applied Business (97 graduates in the past two years) and the New Zealand Diploma in Business (15 graduates in the past two years) a chance to staircase their qualifications. Dr Albertyn said it would also be good for people who had a lot of business expertise but no qualification, as they could earn academic credits through the Centre of Assessment of Prior Learning to put what they already know towards a qualification. “This will help people to stay current in the world of business and to get ahead in their career. “Until now we have not been able to offer a degree-level qualification.” She said it was exciting for those who had family or worked in Ashburton and couldn’t easily pick up and move location to study. Ara said the popularity of its business diploma programmes pointed to a need for higher level qualifications. Staff at Ashburton, Timaru and Oamaru campuses will create individual study plans for the degree course, including face-to-

Response to reading challenge ‘overwhelming’ A popular Kiwi pizza chain is dishing out free pizza to young bookworms in a bid to encourage children to read more books. The Hell Reading Challenge, an initiative run by Hell Pizza is giving away one pizza for every seven books read by a child. So far, 344 schools and 221 libraries across the country have registered, each provided with pizza wheels. “The Pizza Wheels provide young bookworms with a personal record of their reading achievement,” said Hell Pizza general manger Ben Cumming. “Each book read equals one stamp on the wheel – and once all seven ‘slices’ have been stamped by a local librarian, kids are rewarded with a free ... [pizza] ... by redeeming their completed wheel at their local Hell store.” The Reading Challenge, in its third year, has distributed 400,000 pizza wheels which meant children around the country have read 2,800,000 books. This year, about 200,000 pizza wheels have been distributed across schools and libraries and the response had been “overwhelming”, Mr Cumming said.

The response continues to be overwhelmingly positive and we are printing a further 50,000 Pizza Wheels this year to meet demand,” “Prising kids’ eyeballs away from screens and refocusing them on books is getting more and more difficult – but this initiative really appears to be connecting young minds to the benefits books can bring, both in terms of literacy and creativity.” Christchurch dietitian Lea Stening said providing free pizza to encourage children to read was a positive initiative. “It’s a treat food and occasionally pizza can be healthy. It doesn’t have to be ladened with cheese. Stening encouraged children to eat thin-based pizza with more vegetables. “I would aim to eat more chicken or seafood pizza and less ham and bacon.” Children participating in the challenge can choose one topping on their pizza including chicken, bacon, salami, tomato or onion. The Hell Reading Challenge runs until December 4 this year. - NZME

■ DESERT ROAD ACCIDENT

Driver in critical condition A 21-year-old foreign national injured after the vehicle he was driving ploughed into a truck on the icy Desert Road remained in a critical condition yesterday. The man is yet to learn that his three passengers were all killed in the crash about 7.15am Monday. Senior Sergeant Fane Troy of Taupo police says it appears their car crossed the centreline when approaching a 65km/h bend on State Highway 1 and into the path of a southbound truck. The truck driver was shaken but uninjured.

Waikato Hospital confirmed yesterday that the man remained in a critical condition in its intensive care unit. The identities of those killed, who are also foreign nationals, were expected to be revealed yesterday. Troy urged motorists to take care on the Desert Road. “The Desert Road is notorious for changing conditions. You can have beautiful weather on one side of the hill and on the other side you can have black ice and ice and snow, so we encourage all motorists to take extreme caution.” -NZME

A paramedic who found a 77-year-old severely emaciated woman lying dead, covered in her own excrement described her as looking like a “scarecrow”. Ena Lai Dung was in bed on top of a tarpaulin, surrounded by flies, at a Clendon Park address where she was a boarder, when emergency services were called on January 16, 2015. Her daughter Cindy Melissa Taylor, 43, is on trial before the High Court at Auckland charged with her manslaughter after she allegedly failed to provide her with the necessary care to keep her alive. Luana Roberta Taylor, 56, and her husband Brian Frank Taylor, 62 – not related to the other defendant – also lived in the same house and are accused of failing to protect a vulnerable adult. Tristan Sames was one of the first paramedics on the scene and was asked what the odour was like when he entered the bedroom. “An overpowering smell of stale urine or ammonia; one of the strongest smells, if not the strongest smell, I’ve had in this line of work. It was enough to start me gagging,” he told the court. “I closed the door and needed a moment to compose myself.” He re-entered, holding his breath to try to block

out the stench, as he set about checking the patient’s vital signs. Was she deceased? “Unquestionably,” Sames said. When asked to describe the setting he told the jury the woman was naked from the waist down and was lying on a dark-coloured tarpaulin. “The kind of thing you’d stick on the roof if you had a leak,” he said. Another more experienced paramedic Mike Hill was similarly taken aback by the stench in Dung’s room and the “greyish blue” colour of her skin. “The eyes were very very sore and I backed away from the doorway at that point,” he said. The ammonia brought tears to his eyes, “which takes some doing”, he told the jury. He described Dung as “just skin and bone, basically a scarecrow”. When he confirmed the death with Cindy Taylor he said she did not look surprised, “just subdued”. Earlier, the court was played the 111 call made by Luana Taylor just minutes earlier. “I believe the mother – I’ve got a feeling she’s passed. I’m not 100 per cent sure because I’ve not gone up there,” she told the operator Faye McCann.

With some persuasion, the woman passed the phone on to Cindy Taylor who was instructed to put her mother on the floor. “There’s no space,” she said. “She defecated on the bed. Can I put a towel on the floor?” The phone ended up with Luana Taylor again who told McCann they were not willing to do CPR because it was “against their religion”. “She’s dead, OK. I know the difference between dead and alive,” Luana Taylor said, before telling the operator she was “really aggravating”. Crown prosecutor Natalie Walker told the jury in her opening address yesterday that the 111 call and a call to a health-advice line a day earlier was just a gesture. “The Crown says she was already dead and they all knew that,” Walker said. “The 111 call was for appearances’ sake to appear they cared enough to call an ambulance.” A pathologist is expected to tell the court today that Dung died from malnutrition and dehydration. He will detail the open bedsores and chemical burns from her urine and faeces, as well as fractures to her ribs and sternum. The trial continues. - NZME

Raising funds with songs and dancing Linda Clarke

ut a ring around July 29 in your calendar. You’re going to a night of fun and song at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre. It will cost $25 a ticket (or $50 a family). But you will leave feeling amazed at the musical talent of young people in our community and feeling good about helping a group of them head off to Australia’s national performing arts competition, Glee! 2016. The Ashburton College Phoenix Chorus hasn’t had much time to fundraise for the trip to the Gold Coast next month having only found out last month their audition had been successful. But they’ve set about gathering cash in the time-honoured tradition of fundraising by knuckling down for some hard work. It’s great to see kids achieving, even greater when you see them (not just their parents) working hard for the same goal. The Phoenix Chorus has also enlisted the help of some past talent to help pull the crowds – Zara Ballara, Tom Kitchen, Luke Glendining, Olivia Brown and Jack Hanrahan are all confirmed. Bums on seats are all that’s needed now at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre. The Mid Canterbury community contains champion fundraisers – not just for the big ticket items like the EA Networks Centre but for all manner of projects, from Bookarama to basketball uniforms. There are the sausage sizzles and quizcos; raffles and firewood to sell; super rugby teams to pick and EA Network pamphlets to deliver. As someone who has called upon family, friends and total strangers to support various causes over the years, I thank you on behalf of all parents tasked with fundraising. Giving is something you learn from your parents and something you teach your children (hard as it is to get through their teenage heads sometimes). And the best fundraisers are those ones where you get a chance to give something back – whether it is cheese rolls or peastraw. In the case of the Phoenix Chorus, it will be an outstanding evening of music.

Deputy mayor shot An unknown assailant has shot and killed the deputy mayor of Istanbul’s Sisli district in the head, Turkish broadcaster NTV reported. It was not immediately clear whether the incident was linked to Saturday’s abortive military coup in which more than 200 people were killed. NTV reported that the assailant had entered the office of deputy mayor Cemil Candas and then gun shots were heard. Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) runs the prosperous Sisli district. Along with other opposition parties the CHP has condemned the attempted coup. Earlier, MPs were reportedly told to evacuate the Turkish parliament building in Ankara over an unspecified security threat, according to an opposition politician, reports the Independent. The Cumhurriyet newspaper quoted the Peoples’ Democracy Party member Ziya Pir as saying: “We have been informed of an attack. “The Meclis is being evacuated.” The development comes as the United States and European Union on Monday sternly warned Turkey to respect the rule of law after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government launched a massive crackdown following the failed coup. Turkey’s state-run news agency says that the former Air Force commander accused of being the coup ringleader has confessed to a role in the failed coup attempt. Anadolu Agency quotes Gen. Akin Ozturk as telling prosecutors questioning him in Ankara that he “acted with the intention of carrying out a coup.” Before his detention, Ozturk had denied in a statement that he was involved in the uprising, insisting that that

Gaga hits the road Lady Gaga was pulled over by the police only two weeks after passing her driving test. The Pokerface hitmaker was making her way down the Pacific Coast Highway in Los Angeles when the cops stopped her for not having her new number plates yet. She wrote on Twitter: “Ya I got pulled over. Big deal. I just haven’t received plates yet for my new pick up. (sic)” The 30-year-old star took to Instagram earlier this month to reveal how thrilled she was that she could finally drive legally at the age of 30. She wrote: “Thelma and Puhleaaaze (And yes I finally got my license after years of driving with an adult present and a learners permit). Rollin with the homies...”

People wave Turkish ﬂags as they gather in Taksim Square in Istanbul, protesting against the attempted coup this week. PHOTO AP he had worked to quash the coup. But two private broadcasters said the general had denied playing a role. NTV quoted him as saying: “I am not someone who has planned or directed the coup attempt ... I don’t know who did.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaking to CNN through his translator yesterday, said Turkey will submit a formal request within days for the extradition of Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen from the United States. Erdogan blames Gulen for the failed coup attempt. Wikileaks says it is preparing to release more than 100,000 documents related to the Turkish government in the wake of a failed coup. “Get ready for a fight as we

release 100k+ docs n #Turkey’s political power structure,” the organisation posted on Twitter. Founded by Julian Assange in 2006, the Wikileaks whistleblowing group is best known for its release of classified US diplomatic cables in 2010 that embarrassed Washington and its allies and risked undermining US diplomacy. NATO’s chief has joined with others who are calling for Turkey’s leadership to respect the rule of law in its reaction to the failed attempt at a military coup. “I have spoken to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the aftermath of the attempted coup in Turkey,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said in a statement. “I welcomed the strong support shown by the people and

all political parties to democracy and to the democratically elected government. “The Turkish people have shown great courage.” As he did early on Saturday, Stoltenberg condemned the attempted coup in Turkey and reiterated his full support for Turkey’s democratic institutions. “Being part of a unique community of values, it is essential for Turkey, like all other allies, to ensure full respect for democracy and its institutions, the constitutional order, the rule of law and fundamental freedoms,” the NATO chief said. He called Turkey a “valued NATO ally,” and offered his condolences to the families of the innocent people who lost their lives in the takeover attempt. - AP

Orlando shooter taunted for being Muslim Calvin moving on The gunman who opened fire at a gay Florida nightclub last month in the worst mass shooting in modern US history had complained he was repeatedly taunted for being Muslim in his job as a security guard at a Florida courthouse, according to records released yesterday. When Omar Mateen first started working at the St. Lucie Courthouse, one guard told deputies that “I’m a Muslim extremist and potential terrorist,” Mateen wrote in a statement to his bosses at the security firm he worked for,

G4S Secure Solutions. When boxes were delivered to the courthouse, another guard often said, “We have to be careful Omar may send us a bomb and he will get his 72 virgins,” Mateen wrote, according to the records released by the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. Another time, a deputy teased Mateen that his fingers had pork oil on them and he was going to rub them on Mateen’s shirt, according to Mateen. Observant Muslims don’t eat pork because it is considered unclean.

According to the records, Mateen told his bosses that in response to the taunting, he told co-workers he had ties to the Boston Marathon bombing suspects and Nidal Hasan, a former US Army major who was convicted and sentenced to death in a 2009 shooting at Fort Hood in Texas that left 13 people dead and 31 wounded. That prompted an FBI investigation in 2013. But the documents show the FBI didn’t believe he was a terrorist, and an agent told a sheriff’s office major that he didn’t think Mateen “would go

postal or anything like that.” The FBI investigated Mateen again in 2014 because of his ties to a Syrian suicide bomber who went to the same mosque, but that case also was closed without the agency taking action. Mateen opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando during “Latin Night” on June 12 in a rampage that left 49 dead and 53 wounded. It was the worst mass shooting in modern US history. Mateen died in a hail of gunfire after police stormed the venue. - Reuters

Calvin Harris is reportedly dating Tinashe. The Summer hitmaker is reportedly “casually” seeing the Superlove singer behind closed doors. A source said: “They have been seeing each other on the [down low]. It’s only been weeks, so it’s still pretty casual right now. They’ve been on a few dates.” Calvin – who split from Taylor Swift last month – met Tinashe in the studio in 2014 when they collaborated on the song Dollar Signs and were also rumoured to both be writing for Rihanna at the time. The source told the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column: “They stayed in touch and recently started hanging out again.”

Tougher lending restrictions on way BY PAUL MCBETH The Reserve Bank plans to rollout tougher lending restrictions across the nation from September in an effort to mitigate the risk the country’s rapid house price growth poses to the wider financial system. The central bank wants to cap bank lending to property investors with a deposit of less than 40 percent at 5 per cent and restore the 10 per cent limit for owneroccupiers wanting to take out a mortgage with a deposit of less than 20 per cent, according to a consultation paper released today. The property investor loan-to-value ratio restriction is an extension of the existing restraint in Auckland, which has a lower deposit threshold of 30 per cent. Existing exemptions, such as loans for new dwellings, would stay in place. “LVR restrictions to date have improved the resilience of bank

balance sheets by reducing banks’ exposure to riskier mortgages,” governor Graeme Wheeler said. “This policy initiative is intended to further improve the resilience of bank balance sheets, and it will assist in restraining credit and housing demand.” Earlier this month the Reserve Bank signalled new restrictions could be in place before the end of the year as it balances the strength of the New Zealand dollar in keeping imported inflation subdued against low interest rates stoking demand for housing. The bank will give an unscheduled economic update on Thursday, which investors are predicting will see Wheeler try to talk the Kiwi down and perhaps pave the way for a rate cut next month. The kiwi dollar dropped to 75.52 US cents from 76.03 cents immediately before the release. The central bank is seeking

HELPING YOU MAKE BETTER BUSINESS DECISIONS

Trade Minister Todd McClay says he was told Zespri in China was warned about trade implications against New Zealand companies but dismissed it as “unsubstantiated rumour” after Chinese authorities denied it. McClay has previously said China had not raised the issue with him, including when he was in China last week for meetings with Chinese trade officials. However, in Indonesia yesterday McClay confirmed when he was in China he was told that “an industry body” had raised concerns with a New Zealand company. “Our Embassy subsequently checked this with Mofcom [China’s trade ministry]. “They’ve said that have no knowledge of it and have denied it. So it has been put down to unsubstantiated rumour.” Zespri has now confirmed it was the company in question. One of its representatives in Beijing was given “unsubstantiated information” about the prospect of trade restrictions by China and had passed that on to Embassy officials a fortnight ago. A Zespri spokeswoman said it

Todd McClay related to “purported industry consultations related to the import of New Zealand agricultural products” and came from an “industry body”. Industry consultations are the prelude to non-tariff trade barriers to slow trade exports. “Outside of this single communication, Zespri has no further information on this matter and reports that Zespri was called in for a meeting in Beijing or was in some way pressured by the Chinese government are false.”

Zespri has previously refused to comment on the media reports that New Zealand exporters had been warned of retaliation if New Zealand authorities pursued a complaint by NZ Steel over China allegedly dumping steel in the New Zealand market. McClay said the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand had also assured trade officials they were not aware of any pending trade sanctions against New Zealand companies. “This is being dealt with at a government-to-government level and we have full confidence in both the New Zealand and Chinese governments on this issue.” China is Zespri’s top market with sales expected to reach $500 million this season. NZ First leader Winston Peters said it was unbelievable Government ministers had not known of Chinese concern. “After days of obfuscation and denial the Government is now confirming it had knowledge of China approaching New Zealand exporters expressing concerns at legitimate policy concerns back in New Zealand.” He said the Chinese Government had used the threat of “industry consultation” in the past. - NZME

feedback on the proposed measures, with the consultation set to close on August 10. It anticipates the extension of the LVR restrictions will reduce house price inflation by 2 per cent to 5 per cent, and cut sales by 5 per cent to 15 per cent. The Reserve Bank is still considering introducing a debt-toincome (DTI) ratio, which the consultation paper says would be complementary to the LVR restriction “by further mitigating housing credit risk”, and is also looking at tougher capital requirements for lenders.

Crocodile heading to the Supreme Court A battle between two fashion labels over which one can lay claim to a crocodile trademark in New Zealand is going to the Supreme Court. The move is the latest in an ongoing tussle between Crocodile International and Lacoste. Both clothing companies use a logo with a picture of a crocodile and have argued around the globe about who gets to lay claim to it in various countries. The two companies have bat-

tled for decades here and abroad. In 2008, Crocodile International said Lacoste had not genuinely used that trademark and wanted it revoked, which New Zealand’s assistant commissioner of trademarks agreed to do. Lacoste appealed this and was successful in the High Court, where Justice David Collins overturned the assistant commissioner of trademarks’ decision. Crocodile International then went to the Court of Appeal, with

Queen’s Counsel David Laurenson arguing Justice Collins was mistaken because he incorrectly identified the “essential elements” of Lacoste’s trademark. However, the Court of Appeal was satisfied Justice Collins’ identification was correct. “As we put it to Mr Laurenson, it is all about the crocodile,” the appellate court said. Crocodile International was yesterday given leave to appeal to the Supreme Court. - NZME

In brief

■ OLYMPICS

Expulsion could aid Kiwis By Andrew Alderson Russia’s potential exclusion from the Rio Olympics should only have a minor impact on New Zealand medal hopes, but could ease the way for a few Kiwi athletes to work through their respective fields. A decision is due overnight from the International Olympic Committee on Russia’s chances of participating at the Games in all sports. They are already banned in track and field. This follows the World AntiDoping Agency-backed McLaren Report which claims Russia’s state-directed cheating resulted in at least 312 falsified results and lasted from 2011 until at least last year’s world swimming championships. The investigator, Richard McLaren, said out of 577 positive sample screenings, 312 positive results were held back – or labeled “Save” by the lab workers – but that was only a “small slice” of the data that could have been examined. More than 240 of the 312 “Saves” came from track and field and wrestling, but other sports involved included swimming, rowing, snowboarding and table tennis. McLaren suggested the numbers could have been higher, but he had only 57 days for his investigation. Other New Zealanders who could be affected include: - The men’s and women’s rowing eights. Russia finished fifth, behind New Zealand but qualifying for Rio, in both events at last year’s world championships. - Pole vaulter Eliza McCartney. World record holder Yelena Isinbayeva took a break for motherhood in 2014 after winning the world championships the previous year. She set an Olympic qualifying mark of 4.90m (at home) last

Don’t mess with Val Don’t muck around Val Adams. That’s the message for a European airport security official who tangled with our double Olympic gold medallist yesterday. Adams is fluent in several languages including French. As she was leaving Monaco after winning a Diamond League meet over the weekend, she encountered a security official who made some comments about her not knowing she could understand him. The Auckland superstar took to Twitter to give the unsuspecting official a blast. - NZME

Aussies run into rubbish

The New Zealand rowing eights would benefit if the Russians were to be banned from Rio. month. Compatriot Anzhelika Sidorova also vaulted 4.85m. McCartney’s personal best is 4.80m. She is ranked seventh outdoors in 2016. - The men’s track cyclists. At March’s world championships in London, Russia finished third in the individual sprint, fifth in the team pursuit and seventh in the team sprint. Yesterday’s revelations will come as little surprise to anyone who has watched or reported on sport in Russia. At the 2013 track and field world championships in Moscow a veneer of goodwill masked the underlying fear shown by anyone involved in the event’s delivery. A fear of showing initiative, a fear of showing spirit, a fear of showing weakness. History offers a clue to their mindset. Perceived resentment might descend from the deprivation endured by generations defending the country during WWII

against Nazi Germany and the poverty of its aftermath. The Soviets also had to defend themselves internally during Stalinist purges where death or banishment to gulags was routine. Such repression would tend to engender caution. Russia (and formerly the Soviet Union) has been besieged by endless war, pain and suffering. The communist ideal which drove the revolution to overthrow the Tsarist regime in 1917 never materialised. President Mikhail Gorbachev did his best to instigate social reform in the late 1980s but now they’re back under Vladimir Putin, a man who, as an example, signed off anti-gay propaganda legislation, an issue which generated protests at the Sochi Winter Olympics. If Wada’s allegations are true, this wasn’t the only policy the Russian government was instituting. A home Games brought de-

mands of nationalistic fervour, resulting in officials and athletes succumbing to temptation. The populist approach appears to have incited systemic deceit. A winning Russia blanks out any creep towards an inferiority complex. It worked in the space race and extended to the Olympics. Perhaps it’s a coincidence but Russia has one of sport’s worst doping records through the generations. The ‘win at all costs’ theory fits with long-suffering insecurity over their nationalism. Adjacent to the stadium at those 2013 world championships sat a two-metre high wroughtiron wall surrounding a concrete monstrosity which looks capable of withstanding nuclear attack. The building was the Olympic Committee headquarters. That structure is now taking more of a bombardment than at any other time in its history. - NZME

Murray to rest up before Olympic defence Wimbledon champion Andy Murray (right) has pulled out of next week’s Rogers Cup in Toronto so he can give his body time to rest before he sets out in defence of his Olympic singles title at the Rio Games. Britain’s Murray won his third Rogers Cup title last year in Montreal but the defending champion said that after reaching the final in each of his last five events that he needed to take some time off. “My body needs some recovery time after reaching the latter stages of tournaments over the past few months,” Murray, who is second in the world rankings, said in a statement released by Tennis Canada. “I’m sorry to my fans in Toronto but I look forward to being back in Canada next year.” Murray’s decision marks the first time the three-time grand slam champion has skipped the Canadian event since his first appearance in 2006. The Rogers Cup will run from July 23-31 and the tennis competition at the Rio Olympics will be held from August 6-14. - Reuters

Fifa promises action Soccer’s world ruling body Fifa has promised “appropriate steps” after a report yesterday said a dozen positive doping cases in Russian football were among hundreds covered up by Moscow.

Yasir tops rankings Leg-spinner Yasir Shah became the first Pakistani bowler in 20 years to top the International Cricket Council Test rankings after his heroics in the Lord’s Test victory against England.

Yasir’s first innings figures of 6-72 were the best recorded by a visiting spinner against England at Lord’s since Sid Pegler’s 7-65 for South Africa in 1912. - Reuters

It’s not every day you see a team celebrating with push-ups after four days of gruelling test cricket. It was the spontaneous militaryesque routine that capped Pakistan’s recent rise to form after completing a pre-series bootcamp to mend their horrific fitness woes. The victorious team faced the crowd in military formation after taking the final wicket and dropped to the turf and complete five push-ups before marching out of Lord’s in victory. England captain Alastair Cook vowed to use the demonstration as motivation for his team’s comeback in the second Test, starting next week. “It’s never nice to lose at Lord’s and see the opposition like they were at the end,” Cook said. “We’ll use that as motivation.”

■ RUGBY

Messam ruling ‘bad joke’ By Scotty StevenSon

o Liam Messam can return for the Chiefs to play two matches that potentially – and in reality – had major ramifications for the make-up of the Super Rugby playoffs but can’t play in those playoffs because he hasn’t played four games this season. Well, that sounds reasonable. If by reasonable you mean the complete opposite. Of all the decisions made this season, this has got to be the craziest. Unless you consider the Patrick Lambie decision. He is ineligible to play for the Sharks in the playoffs because he has been injured for most of the season, and was injured – get this – playing rugby for both the Sharks and the Springboks. You can fall back on the rule book as much as you like, but Super Rugby’s administration has got this wrong – wrong because if a player can play in one competition game he should be able to play in them all. You can’t suddenly get to the knockout stages and say, ‘now it counts’. Ask any player from a team that has missed out on the postseason, they can tell you every game is important. The decision is wrong because it makes a mockery of the oftrepeated line that Super Rugby wants to be the best competition with the best players in the world. Well, last time I looked, Lambie was a 50-test Springbok and Liam Messam a Rugby World Cup-winning All Black and twice recipient of the Super Rugby grand final man-of-the-match medal. But they now can’t play, because of ‘rules’. Messam is a veteran of more than 100 games for the Chiefs, a loyalist to both New Zealand rugby and the Sanzaar competition. That he has been treated this way is a bad joke. Hiding behind the ‘rules is rules’ argument is a slap in the face for a player who deserves nothing but respect from the people administering this competition.

Liam Messam won’t be playing for the Chiefs in the Super Rugby playoffs. If that’s the way we treat the legends of Super Rugby, I pity the poor young fools signing their first contracts. Welcome aboard kids. You may as well pack your bags and head to France. Sure, you’ll be herded about like cattle by bored, rich owners, but at least the weather will be nice. Plus you won’t have to bust your ass in your local competition for 10 years before you learn how little you are valued. When will this game cut its fans a break? Already they have been told to cool their jets when it comes to the playoff system – a system many have struggled to understand from day one, and continue to be perplexed by. Already they have been left baffled by in-game rulings that are never fully explained. What’s so hard about fronting up?

The referees get a full debriefing after every match yet the fans are left to figure it out on their own. Already fans have been left to consider the merits of an expansion programme that has given us the Kings, Sunwolves and Jaguares. We are told Super Rugby must expand or die, and there is truth in that claim. But, please, fans are only just able to swallow that line. Now they’re expected to chase it down with something even less palatable. On the Messam ruling, Sanzaar media and communications manager Greg Thomas, said: “Special dispensation hasn’t been granted because Sanzaar are satisfied that the Chiefs can field a normal, full-strength side of 23 players for the following match.” How does it come within San-

zaar’s remit to decide on what a coach’s ‘full-strength’ side looks like? Surely that is what coaches are for, and surely they are the only ones who can make that call. If Sanzar are now the sole arbiter of ‘full strength’ and are genuinely worried about maintaining the integrity of this competition, then allow me to remind you all of the Lions team selected by Johan Ackermann last weekend. Is ‘under-strength’ not something the administration is qualified to comment on? It’s no secret Super Rugby is at war with other competitions in the world for the services of the best players. By refusing to allow two of them to play this weekend, Super Rugby has shot itself in the foot. And there’s nothing reasonable about that. - NZME

Rebels snare Lomax from the Brumbies Melbourne Rebels have grabbed Australian under-20s tighthead prop Tyrel Lomax (right) from Super Rugby conference rivals the Brumbies. Lomax, the son of former New Zealand rugby league international and Canberra Raiders star John Lomax, has signed a twoyear deal with the Rebels, beginning in 2017. The hulking front-rower, who weighs in at 127kg and stands

at 193cm, is a boom signing for the Rebels given he started every game at the recent under-20s World Cup for Australia. “Tyrel demonstrated during the world championship that he’s a strong scrummager and has well developed core skills for his size,” Rebels coach Tony McGahan said. “We’re looking forward to fast tracking his development and providing opportunities for him

to transition into Super Rugby next season.” Lomax said he had decided to join the Rebels while playing at the tournament in England. “They said it was a great programme and how much it has done for their development,” Lomax said. “I’m looking forward to relocating to Melbourne and consider this as a long-term commitment to the Rebels.” - AAP

Three-year ban for ref attack The harshest penalty of a near three year suspension has been handed out to a Pirates club rugby player for grabbing the throat of an official after a Premier game at Spriggens Park in Wanganui in late June. Outside back Sa’ena Vili, a Pirates squad regular and part of last year’s championship winning team, has been stood down from all rugby until January 1, 2019. The WRFU has defended the decision not to acknowledge the matter publicly until now, which comes after a further 12 months was added to the ban – following another judiciary hearing where the Wanganui Rugby Referees Association appealed the initial sentence as too lenient. In addition, Pirates stalwart first-five Denning Tyrell received a further two week suspension on top of the fortnight ban he had already served for verbal abuse of the touchline official in the same incident. Tyrell had remained with the team as support staff for their remaining games, but the added stand down ruling stipulates he cannot be involved on match day. WRFU club liaison officer Paul Kenny said the incident happened immediately after the June 25 clash with Ruapehu, who scored a converted try in the dying seconds to win 25-18. “The [first] judicial hearing was for verbal abuse by Denning, and physical abuse by someone that couldn’t be identified,” said Kenny. “The player had been subbed and had put a hoody on.” The Pirates club later identified Vili as the player who grabbed the official’s throat, with the judiciary hearing banning him from all rugby until January 1, 2018. Kenny said it appeared Pirates were initially going to appeal the sentence, but ultimately did not do so, and then the Referees Association did. A new hearing was convened in front of a different committee, attended by several Pirates including life members. “There was no additional evidence because the crimes had been committed and admitted to,” said Kenny. “[The hearing] took into account the reasons it should be longer, and stood him down till January 2019. “They are trying to get uniformity around the country with penalties being on the harsher side. “The physical touching of a ref is a no-no.” Extending Vili’s stand down to nearly three years comes only a week after a Freyberg B player was banned from his club for life after allegedly punching a referee in the back of head just after fulltime in a Manawatu club game. Referees Association facilitator Neville Hopkins said the grabbing of the official “was totally inappropriate”. - NZME

Despite impressing as one of the Warriors’ form players over the first half of the NRL season, Lolohea appears to have fallen out of favour with coach Andrew McFadden in recent weeks. There are reports up to five clubs were chasing his signature. However Doyle insisted Lolohea would see out his contract with the club through to the end of 2018. - AAP

Feutz, Sabo on the ball By James Ford

Two budding Mid Canterbury footballers are continuing to perfect their craft at the Olé Football Academy in Wellington. Ryan Feutz and Robert Sabo are back in Ashburton enjoying a well-earned break, but will soon head north to the Academy’s base in Porirua. Feutz, who also spent time at the Cracks CF football academy in Valencia, has been turning out for the Olé Academy’s under-17

side this season, and continues to impress. The 15-year-old can play anywhere across the front line, but, despite being right footed, prefers to ply his trade on the left wing where he can cut inside and create. Despite being one of the youngest in the under-17 side, Feutz said he is used to playing against physically bigger opponents, and even has one eye on the senior team next season. “I want to go up to the men’s

reserves next year, the first 11 would be the ultimate goal, but the reserves would be good,” he said In contrast, Sabo is honing his skills as a centre back. After arriving at the academy as an attacker, the 14-year-old decided to make the switch to defence – and with plenty of height on his side, he certainly fits the mould. “I found it (defending) interesting, so I decided to play that role and I’ve enjoyed it,” he said.

Both Feutz and Sabo follow the world footballing giants and current European champions Real Madrid in Spain’s La Liga, but they separately look up to a very different style of player. Feutz hopes to emulate ruthless goal-scorer Cristiano Ronaldo while Sabo prefers Los Blancos hard-hitting defender Sergio Ramos, and the duo’s idols are fitting, with both dreaming of a spell in Europe in the future.

■ FREE DIVING

Trubridge ready for descent into the darkness Kiwi free diver William Trubridge has less than 36 hours to prepare for his “redemption”. With the heartbreak of a failed 2014 record attempt still in his mind, 102m of deep blue ocean is what stands between him and success. And he is having to endure one of the toughest mental battles imaginable. On the one hand, Trubridge must calm himself to a point where adrenaline becomes irrelevant. On the other, he feels the pressure of going for a new free diving world record. “Just the weight of that, it weighs you down as much as the depth

itself,” Trubridge said from the Bahamas. “Mentally, you have to convince yourself you can do it.” In 2014, supporters from all around the globe tuned in to watch Trubridge come agonisingly close to the record. But now, Trubridge has more belief than ever. “Where I am, mentally, has changed in a big way,” he says. “In my personal life, a few years ago there was some stuff going on which made it much more difficult. “I’ve been able to gain a greater peace of mind going into this attempt and I think that will make a huge difference.”

For those nescient to the nuances of free diving, there are a number of different ways for a diver to descend into the darkness. The free immersion method, which Trubridge got the record for last month, involves the diver pulling themselves up and down on a guide rope. Another method allows divers to be aided by fins. But the true challenge, and the ultimate test of composure and fitness, is the constant weight without fins. No assistance, just the diver, his arms and feet, and his mind. “It’s definitely the hardest and I’m a sucker for a challenge,” Trubridge said. - NZME

Parramatta players say they have no idea if controversial playmaker Corey Norman will be allowed to play in Saturday’s NRL clash with Gold Coast but they “100 per cent” want him there.

Of course we want him out on the field,” Eels back-rower Kenny Edwards said. - AAP

In brief

■ RUGBY

Calculated risk a winner? By GreGor Paul The presiding view is that the Lions took a huge gamble not sending their best side to Argentina for their final conference game and it backfired. All they needed to take the No1 ranking was a losing bonus point against the Jaguares and with that they would have been assured of home advantage for as long as they kept winning. Supposedly, Lions coach Johan Ackermann will now be regretful and embarrassed that his second-string side failed to secure the single point they needed and instead of playing the Sharks, now face the Crusaders. But that implies Ackermann’s gamble was reckless and ill thought out – which it wasn’t. He took a calculated risk knowing that the worst case scenario was not one to be overly concerned about. Every way he looked, the right thing to do was to keep his best players at home. What he knew before playing the Jaguares was that the Lions were guaranteed to finish no lower than second.

Lions coach Johan Ackermann’s move may be a masterstroke. He knew they were assured of a home quarter-final and a home semi-final should they keep winning in the playoffs. He also knew that if the Lions finished second overall, they would be playing one of the Kiwi teams in the quarter-final. So while the Crusaders were getting smashed by the Hurricanes in Christchurch, Ackermann’s frontline troops were resting up.

His top team have had two weeks to rest, train, sleep in their own beds and turn up at Ellis Park on Sunday in the best shape possible. The Crusaders, on the other hand, have had to recover after the Hurricanes, patch themselves up and hang around right until yesterday before catching a long-haul flight to South Africa. The alternative was for the

Lions to fly their best players to Argentina, hope they could take the points they needed and then scramble back to South Africa to face the Sharks, who have built form and confidence in recent rounds with two strong home wins. Ackermann could see that the rewards of not taking his best players to Buenos Aires easily outweighed the risks. What he will also have factored in is that if a New Zealand team did take the No1 ranking, they faced a high chance of playing another New Zealand team in the semi-finals. Given the competitiveness and closeness between the four New Zealand sides left, it is by no means inconceivable that if the Lions, if they can keep winning, could end up the highest-ranking side left when the competition gets down to two teams. Even if they are not, Ackermann will be quite happy to fly to New Zealand for a final – knowing they beat the Chiefs in Hamilton this year and his top players haven’t done any long-haul travel since early March. - NZME

Hurricanes built on the back of adversity By GreGor Paul If finals football is all about character and resilience, then the Hurricanes can feel confident they have as much as they need to be crowned champions. They took the No1 ranking the hard way - the long way. The miracle wasn’t that they jumped from fourth in the New Zealand Conference to first on the final weekend, it was that they pieced their season together at all from the most inauspicious beginning in Super Rugby history, when they went to Canberra five months ago to open their campaign and were hammered 52-10. The only team to top the table who endured a similarly miserable opening night were the Reds in 1996, thumped 57-17 by the Highlanders. The Hurricanes were awful in that first outing. Former Wallaby hooker Phil Kearns felt the need to say: “They look fat and they look slow and they look unfit. They were dominant for the first five minutes and the rest of the time they’ve been chasing their tails.” It was a bit harsh, but ultimately the point he made was hard to refute. The Hurricanes didn’t look like a team with much in the way of prospects. The hole left in their midfield by the departures of Ma’a Nonu and Conrad Smith was gaping, and without James Broadhurst bringing his steely, workmanlike edge to the pack, they looked nothing like the team of 2015.

Elliot, Stowers return Hika Elliot and Sherwin Stowers will both be back in Steelers’ colours for the Mitre 10 Cup. Both players have donned the red, black and white jersey before, with Elliot and Stowers both playing an integral part in Counties Manukau’s Ranfurly Shield success in 2013. Elliot, 30, has played five times (including four tests) for the All Blacks, and says he’s excited to be joining Counties Manukau again in 2016. - NZME

Brumbies up for it Halfback Tomas Cubelli is confident his Brumbies team can handle the high intensity and tempo he’s expecting in Friday’s Super Rugby quarter-final. Cubelli, who has earned 48 caps for Argentina, believes the pace will be hot and the intensity close to Test level against the Highlanders in what is set to be freezing conditions in Canberra. The Brumbies lost 23-10 to the Highlanders at the end of April after leaking 48 and 40 points at home to two other New Zealand sides, the Chiefs and Crusaders respectively. - AAP

Shark alert The Sharks may be rank underdogs for Saturday’s Super Rugby quarter-final in Wellington, but the Hurricanes are not preparing for a romp. Far from it. They still feel the pain of the 32-15 loss to the Sharks in May. So while some pundits are predicting the Sharks will limp into the capital, feel the cold wind and get pumped by the Hurricanes, John Plumtree knows better. “One thing about the Sharks, they don’t mind touring New Zealand.” - NZME

Parker ready to scrap

Beauden Barrett: Determined to go one better this year. After losing their next game to the Highlanders, they ended up in a dogfight with the Blues at Eden Park and their season, with no hint of exaggeration, was hanging in the balance in those last five minutes. The Blues, trailing 23-19, had laid siege to the Hurricanes’ line and if they had scored, as they almost did, the Hurricanes would have been sitting on three straight defeats, their confidence shot. But they managed one of the more heroic defensive efforts to cling on and from there they found the resolve to slowly piece their game together. Dane Coles returned from injury to provide his confrontational but inspirational leadership. Michael Fatialofa began to offer much the same portfolio as

Broadhurst. Brad Shields, Ardie Savea and Victor Vito formed one of the best loose trio combinations in the tournament and in various combinations Willis Halohalo, Matt Proctor, Vince Aso and Ngani Laumape brought steadiness and directness to the midfield. With TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett bringing the whole offering together, the Hurricanes went about finding their flow and because of their slow start, they were able to stay slightly in the shadows. Now they sit in the spotlight, but it’s not likely many cracks will be exposed. This is a side that has been built on the back of adversity – grown from not only their difficult start, but from the pain of losing in last year’s final.

Barrett was distraught last year that he didn’t play with the composure he wanted in the final. He wasn’t alone – when it came to handling the pressure, the Hurricanes were found out in 2015. Their determination to ensure history doesn’t repeat should not be underestimated. This is a side that went to Christchurch last Saturday with genuine conviction they would win and win well. They had no fear, no sense that they were on hallowed turf. With home advantage now secured for as long as they keep winning, the Hurricanes have the opportunity to do this year what they couldn’t do in 2015 – prove their depth of character and mental fortitude – and it’s going to take a huge effort to beat them. - NZME

Joseph Parker might be prevented from boxing his way to victory against Solomon Haumono, an opponent wanting to turn the sweet science into a scrap. But if the Australian succeeds in that plan in Christchurch tomorrow night, Parker’s preparation with trainer Kevin Barry means he will be well equipped to cope. “If [Haumono] is going to try and rough me up, I’m ready for it,” Parker said ahead of the transtasman showdown. “The last time I was roughed up was by Kev in the gym so, if they’re going to try rough me up, Kev’s already prepared me for it. It’s a challenge that I’m prepared for, ready for and excited for.” - NZME

Bird suspended again Greg Bird will miss the Gold Coast’s clash with Parramatta after taking an early guilty plea for his high tackle on Gareth Widdop. Bird remains the fourth most suspended player of the NRL era after pleading guilty early to a grade-two careless high tackle from the Titans’ win on Friday. It is the second time Bird has been suspended this season. The former representative player will return for Monday week’s for the round 21 fixture against Cronulla. Warriors prop Charlie Gubb is contesting the grading of his grade-two shoulder charge on Darcy Lussick at the NRL judiciary tonight. Gubb faced up to seven weeks out for the tackle, but after pleading guilty he will miss up to five matches. - NZME

In brief

■ MATAMATA

Mare improving with age With maturity has come consistency and the in-form Salted Caramel looks in line for a deserved victory at Matamata today. The Swiss Ace mare has opened her current preparation in encouraging style with two strong efforts, which indicate she will be hard to bowl in the Property Brokers 1200. “I’m sure she’s going to run well again and she’s come in this time with a more positive attitude. “She’s ready to strike,” trainer Paul Mirabelli said. “She has been a very highly strung mare, but she’s settled down a lot more now.” Salted Caramel finished a close second when resuming at Te Teko last month and was again runner-up at Tauranga at her most recent appearance. “It’s a bit better field this time and she’ll have to carry top-

weight, which is unfortunate, but Mark Hills is such a balanced rider that I decided to go with him and not to claim.” Mirabelli will also produce a top winning prospect in Ekarosa at Thursday’s Hawke’s Bay meeting. “I was going to go to Taranaki on Saturday, but it will be too heavier a track and Hastings will give us a good surface,” he said. “She’s really talented and her last run was very good. “She had to go back from the draw and then she got shunted out at the top of the straight.” Ekarosa finished off strongly for third behind Bee Tee Junior and she shares the same future goal as the winner. “It’s a longshot at this stage, but I’ve definitely got the New Zealand Cup in the back of my mind for her,” Mirabelli said. Salted Caramel could provide punters with a tasty treat today. - NZME PHOTO AP

Nek Time returns It wasn’t quite the finale they hoped for, but Nek Time will return to New Zealand following a successful Queensland raid. The Terry and Glenys Chmiel-trained three-year-old filly finished last in Saturday night’s Queensland Derby. The daughter of Gotta Go Cullect was eased down at the 600 metres by Dexter Dunn and was suffering from a high heart rate and a cough. Nek Time will remain under the watchful eye of Arna Donnelly for the next six weeks. - HRNZ

Dexter eyes record It will take something from out of the box, but Dexter Dunn might just be able to get close to his personal best tally before he heads away on holiday. The world champion reinsman sits on 212 winners for the season, eight short of his personal best. He is due to drive in Wales and Ireland next week as well as take a holiday leaving him just this weekend to get the eight wins required. Robert Dunn’s hopes of catching Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen in the national trainers’ premiership will also rest solely on this weekend. - HRNZ

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Business guru Raymond Aaron said, “If you don’t have an assistant, you are one.” You’ll certainly feel like an assistant as you run around tending to dozens of details today. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You needn’t worry about what you’re going to contribute that will mean something. It will happen in the moment. You’ll capture hearts just being you – the selfless version. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Maybe you made some adjustments because you had to, not because you wanted to. Still, there’s strength in versatility. Those adjustments will work for you, and ultimately you’ll be glad you were strong enough to bend. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Someone asking you annoying questions is just trying to get to know you. It’s flattering someone wants to be close to you, even if they don’t have a clue how to go about it. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You can easily sense social tension, and when you do, your immediate response is to smooth things over with a joke or diversion. This is just one of your many charming habits. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You may be putting your all into a project, and yet the desired result still eludes you. If this makes you frustrated, all the better. A touch of angry energy will push you to reach for and achieve something better. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re spiritually generous, and this is why you can be as enthusiastic about the successes of others as you would be if the win were your own. You’ll rejoice in the chance to celebrate the people around you. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Astral influences may make you edgy. The easiest way to work off stress is to exercise. For bonus benefits, try a form of exercise you haven’t endeavoured before. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ve very few regrets. Everything that’s happened, good and bad, has made you who you are today. You’ll find a way to profit from one of your past mistakes. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Today will offer opportunity to develop your inner world. Your experiences will mimic the scenes in your mind, so taking charge of your imagination is a powerful way to bring about the changes you desire. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ve a strong will, big goals and the freedom to pursue them. This is a magic combination. Such circumstances are rarer than you think. Use them to your advantage – now! PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re used to leading in a certain arena but if you let another person help, your load would lighten and you would be impressed by what happens next.

Boost for McCartney If Russia is punted from the Olympics as expected, it will boost the hopes of rising Kiwi pole vault star Eliza McCartney. The move would prevent Russia’s world champion vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva from competing. Isinbayeva is a two-time Olympic gold medallist and three-time world champion. Just last week, she blasted the International Association of Athletics Federations, claiming the governing body is “under orders” to prevent her country’s athletes from competing at the Rio Games.

Knights debut ‘big step up’ BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

It’s been a week to remember for Dallas McLeod after making his debut for the Crusader Knights under-18 team on Saturday. The Knights took on a Hurricanes under-18 side at Rugby Park in Christchurch and led 2017 at halftime before a blowout in the second forty saw the visitors take a 64-20 victory. Despite the defeat, McLeod enjoyed his first outing in the red and black jersey. “It was a really cool experience, I was really excited to put

the jersey on,” he said. “It was pretty tough and a big step up, but I really enjoyed it and learned heaps from just playing in that one game.” McLeod’s selection to the junior Knights setup is another box ticked since his move to Christ’s College from Mount Hutt at the beginning of the year. The second five-eighth played for Methven throughout the age-groups and Ashburton College at 1st XV level before receiving a scholarship to head north. McLeod is now part of an exciting Christ’s side that is thriv-

ing under the tutelage of former All Blacks captain Reuben Thorne. The 17-year-old was one of four Christ’s players, along with Kale Thatcher and Punivai brothers Ngane and Isaiah, to be included in the Knights camp and credited his new surroundings for his continued progression. “I think it’s improved (my rugby) quite a bit with the coaches we’ve got up there – they teach you heaps,” he said. “We’ve got a good backs coach as well, Cameron McIntyre, he’s

really good and helps me a lot.” McLeod will now turn his attention back to the UC Championship with Shirley Boys’ High School on the horizon this weekend. Christ’s College currently sit at the top of the ladder, having lost just once this season, but after sampling the intensity of a higher level of rugby on Saturday, McLeod insisted there’s still plenty of work to be done. “You realise if you have talent it’s not enough, you have to work hard and work on everything.”

‘Abhorrent’ doping should lead to expulsion New Zealand’s former World Anti Doping Association boss David Howman says Russia’s systematic doping programme is “abhorrent” and believes the International Olympic Committee will now throw it out of the Rio Olympics.

“It’s a huge issue, the fact that Russia for a number of years has tried to evade their athletes being detected,” Howman said yesterday. “We haven’t seen anything like this since the East Germans way back in the 1970s.

Tui not moving say Warriors P15

“It’s massive and it’s extremely disturbing because of the way they got along with it for so long and in the meantime have really run a bit of a spin saying ‘it’s not us, it’s the western world that’s picking on us’. And I just find that abhorrent.”

“What has disturbed me in this episode is the reluctance of some of the top sports administrators to accept this could be happening. “Now we will have to await the reaction of those who are responsible for the Olympic Games.” - NZME

Lydia Ko’s win at the Marathon Classic in Ohio this week was special for more than one reason. Not only was it her 14th LPGA title and her fourth this year, but it also helped her top the $US7 million ($NZ10m) mark for career tournament earnings. The $316,000 she received from her win yesterday helping her over the mark at just 19 years of age. It is an unprecedented run of form that has seen the young Kiwi firmly solidify her spot as the number one golfer in the world.

Peats lands on his feet Ex-Parramatta rake Nathan Peats is probably breathing a sigh of relief after leaving the Eels, Gold Coast team-mate Chris McQueen admits. Peats will line up against his former club on the Gold Coast on Saturday but McQueen reckons the ex-Eels hooker is only now truly appreciating his move. Pre-season wooden spoon favourites the Gold Coast aim to break a six-year finals drought after moving into the top eight with last round’s thrashing of St George. In contrast, the Eels have lurched from one controversy to another in 2016.
