Despite calls to allow the teaching of all major religions in schools, Ashburton principals are resisting.

Earlier this week, Methodist Church members voted at their national conference to ask the Ministry of Education to allow major religions such as Buddhism, Judaism and Hinduism to be included in the curriculum.

Methodist Church director of mission Trevor Hoggard said the church members saw the merits of multi-faith instruction, particularly in today’s globalised world.

“It should be part and parcel of the basic equipment of every child growing up in today’s world to understand what is really happening in the world around them and faith is one of the those aspects,” he said.

However, Ashburton schools do not feel the same way. Sixteen of the district’s 21 primary and intermediate schools teach Christian studies.

Ashburton Intermediate is one of the schools that has chosen to opt out of religious instruction and acting principal Judy Jemmett said there were no plans to adopt a multi-faith programme.

“We’ve already got a very crowded cur-

riculum, we’ve got so much to cover,” she said. “There’s no room for it.”

Mt Somers Springburn principal Brent Gray said his school would continue to offer a Christian religious instruction programme, however, it was unlikely it would expand to multiple faiths.

In terms of education and social sciences, there was always scope for teachers and students to be involved in discussions around potentially incorporating religious education into the curriculum, he said.

Hit hard by Lomu death The Hits presenters Polly Gillespie and her husband Grant Kereama, who donated a kidney to rugby legend Jonah Lomu, were absent from the airwaves yesterday morning. Just after the 6.30am news a recording from the emotional pair told listeners why. “Hope you guys understand eh?” said Kereama, who Lomu received a kidney from in 2004. “I really can’t talk”. Gillespie said the pair weren’t in a position to be on the radio yesterday morning.

“I think you know that when something really affects you and there’s something really important, there are no words ...,” she said. “We have lost one of our best friends. Today we will not be at work. I hope you understand.”

The West Wing actor Martin Sheen says he wishes he had the courage of his son Charlie Sheen, who has revealed he’s HIVpositive. Martin Sheen spoke on Wednesday (NZ time) during an event at The Ritz-Carlton resort in Naples, Florida, hours after his son’s appearance on NBC’s Today. According to the Naples Daily News, Sheen said his 50-year-old son had been working up to the announcement for months with his family’s encouragement. Sheen said that as he watched his son reveal “his deepest, darkest secret, I couldn’t believe the level of courage I was witnessing, and that it was my son”.

Carly Simon says the second verse of her infamous song You’re So Vain is about Warren Beatty. The 70-yearold singer tells People magazine that she’s “confirmed that the second verse is Warren”. She adds that Beatty “thinks the whole thing is about him!” Simon will release the memoir, Boys in the Trees, on November 24. The subjects behind You’re So Vain, released in 1972, have been a matter of speculation for years. The singer said the No.1 hit is about three men, including Beatty, though she isn’t naming the others. Simon was married to James Taylor and People says she has been linked to Mick Jagger, Kris Kristofferson, Jack Nicholson and Cat Stevens.

■ EDUCATION

Truants well-monitored in Ashburton

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

The number of students playing truant from school has increased nationally, but not in Ashburton.

A Ministry of Education annual attendance survey for 2014 showed a slight increase in unexplained absences.

Safer Ashburton attendance officer Vicki Galbraith, who is contracted by the Ministry of Education, said she had not noticed an increase in Mid Canterbury, possibly because it is a small community and easier to engage with both family and school.

Some families continued to have ongoing situations where their children were not engaging with the education system, but this was a minority.

Mrs Galbraith liaised between schools and families when there were issues with students who had been missing school with no excuse.

Usually, once Mrs Galbraith was involved she could get the child back into school.

“The results in Ashburton are generally pretty good.”

Ashburton Intermediate School acting principal Judy Jemmett said

she felt the systems the school had in place had helped to prevent increases in truant students.

This year had been better than previous years, she said.

Their methods of preventing and identifying truancy included a text notification system, a referral to Safer Ashburton, updates to the Ministry of Education, letters to parents and, if necessary, using the Rock On programme.

This initiative, which is used by a number of schools in the area, allowed education providers to refer cases to a committee made up of people from Child Youth and

Family, Safer Ashburton and the Ministry of Education.

The school could also pick up any students from home if parents were having trouble getting them to go to school.

Using these methods helped deter truants and once parents knew they were legally obliged to get their child to school, there was usually a huge improvement, Mrs Jemmett said.

Ashburton College also had a number of systems in place to monitor and prevent truancy.

Principal Grant McMillan said the school put in a big effort three

Vandals strike at community garden

Vandals have wreaked havoc on a well-tended community garden.

On Saturday, St Andrew’s Anglican Church community garden volunteer Vic Cleverley was astounded to find the Tinwald garden’s hosing and sprinkler system destroyed.

“I went to go and use the hose and it was cut to bits and they took connections off it and everything,” Mr Cleverley said.

While no one had a clue who did it, it was upsetting, he said.

“We quite often get plants and that pinched but it’s the first time we’ve had the likes of that,” he said.

“You think you can leave things out, but no, it just doesn’t work that way now.”

Thankfully a local resident came to the rescue.

“Dot King, she replaced it for us.

We got a ring on the Monday morning and … she replaced the hose and the fittings for us,” Mr Cleverley said.

All watering equipment is now locked away, which was a hassle but that was the way it had to be, he said.

The garden, which has been running for about seven years, stocks a variety of seasonal vegetables and is well tended to by members of the church and residents.

St Andrew’s Anglican Church community garden volunteer Vic Cleverley now has to lock away the garden’s watering equipment.

■ CLIMATE CHANGE

Coastal homes in danger New Zealand needs to completely overhaul the way it is preparing for rising sea levels, the Government’s environmental watchdog says, as up to 9000 coastal homes sit precariously close to the high water mark.

A newly-released report by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Jan Wright also says the Government needs to start preparing for the huge potential cost of rising oceans driven by climate change, which could lead to the “managed retreat” of coastal communities to higher ground.

“Continuing sea level rise is not something that might happen - it is already happening, will accelerate, and will continue for the indefinite future,” Dr Wright wrote in her report.

“Homes, businesses and infrastructure

worth billions of dollars have been built on low-lying land close to the coast. However, the report noted that elevation was only one factor in assessing risk, and some of these areas could be protected by headlands.

Other major New Zealand cities were much more vulnerable to rising oceans.

Christchurch had nearly 1000 homes on land which was less than 50cm above the spring high tide mark.

Dunedin had 2600 homes below this threshold. Five coastal towns - Napier, Whakatane, Tauranga, Motueka and Nelson - had 1000 homes just above the high water mark.

The report said oceans around the world had risen around 20cm on average since the beginning of the 20th century. - NZH

years ago and while he did not know the number, he believed there was an improvement that has been sustained since then.

Ministry of Education head of sector enablement and support Katrina Casey said attendance across all schools had remained relatively unchanged over many years, however, the 2014 annual attendance survey showed a slight increase in unexplained absences.

Schools manage the vast majority of occasional, unexplained absences well, without the involvement of the attendance service, she said.

Schools say no to religion From P1 Another Ashburton principal, who declined to be named, said teaching religion was not a school’s job. “There’s enough to do in schools. I think religious belief should probably be taught in churches or other places where they have the expertise and similarminded people to discuss and practise their religion,” they said.

“That is the value of secular education, if you have Christian beliefs then you go to a Christian school and so on.”

Mid Canterbury Christian education co-ordinator Gay Lee said if other religious groups wanted their values included in education they needed to approach schools.

According to the 2013 Census, around 71 per cent of people located within Mid Canterbury identified as Christian.

However nationally, the numbers of people reporting no religious affiliation has increased from 1.2 million in 2006 to 1.3 million in 2013.

Meanwhile the number of people affiliated with a Christian religion decreased from 2 million in 2006 to 1.9 million.

■ SEEDS

Parenting skills in demand

By Caitlin Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

Demand is growing for Ashburton’s free parenting programme.

Sharing Everyday Experiences and Drawing on Skills (SEEDS) is designed to cater for individuals or families with children under five who need help with day-today activities.

The client is then matched with a trained volunteer who

teaches various parenting and home skills including time management, coping with stress, learning how to cook, bake, budget or sew.

SEEDS co-ordinator Marie McAnulty said due to an increase in demand, three more volunteers have now come on board.

Kerry Maw, Katherine McDonnell and Rita Costen underwent training yesterday to allow them to participate in the programme.

“I’ve seen how much need there is…and I thought I would share my own skills and knowledge I’ve had as a mother,” Mrs Maw said.

Mrs McAnulty said this year many people have been referred to the service, from the likes of Child Youth and Family, Plunket and also through self-referrals.

SEEDS works with 17 parent volunteers all over Ashburton, however Mrs McAnulty is hoping

Festival revival a smash hit

to further extend its reaches into the likes of Methven and Rakaia.

The only criteria to be a part of the SEEDS programme is clients must have a child under the age of five.

Volunteers typically work with clients for around three months, however that is flexible, Mrs McAnulty said.

“The volunteers are just so brilliant, and we very much appreciate them,” she said.

Roses run riot

Hundreds of students and parents packed into Ashburton College’s auditorium for the Hakatere Cultural Festival yesterday.

The festival, which included performances from schools around Ashburton, was being held again for the first time in a number of years.

Ashburton College Te Reo teacher Tipene Philip, who organised the college part of the festival, said they made the auditorium available to help revive the event.

It used to be an annual cultural festival but had not run for the past few years because there was no suitable venue, he said. It was important to make it an annual event as a way for each school to celebrate different cultures.

It was also an enjoyable time for the students and parents and an opportunity for them to perform in front of a crowd, Mr Philip said.

The auditorium was nearly at capacity.

It was the first time the festival had been held at the auditorium and it went very well, he said.

Students from Ashburton College, Allenton School, St Joseph’s School, Merle Leask Kindergarten, Ashburton Netherby School, Hampstead School, Ashburton Borough School and Ashburton Intermediate School all performed.

Action from yesterday’s cultural festival.

Shag Point show A new exhibition opening in the Ashburton Art Gallery on Saturday focuses on a significant Otago site, Matakaea, Shag Point. The exhibition by Christchurch based multi-media artist Robyn Webster which features sculpture, visual imagery and poetic text will be staged in the Carr Family Gallery.

The exhibition opens tomorrow at 2pm and as part of the official opening, Webster will speak about the exhibition and her works. The exhibits will remain in the gallery until January 10.

Medics needed St John Ashburton attended a car accident on the intersection of Downs Road and Hororata Road at 7.33am on Wednesday after a car hit a lamp post. A male occupant received minor injuries.

Drivers caught A 23-year-old man was arrested after recording an excess breath alcohol level of 774mcg following a single vehicle crash on State Highway 1 near Chertsey at 12.35pm yesterday. Sergeant Byan Ennis said the vehicle had hit a power pole before veering off the road. A 21-year-old man was stopped by police driving 134km/h in 1 100km/h zone on State Highway 1 between Hinds and Ealing at 9pm on Wednesday.

He was arrested and charged with driving while suspended.

Pharmacy robbed

When it comes to roses, Pauline O’Leary doesn’t do things by halves; her garden is home to more than 200 rose plants.

This year, however, has been one of challenges for rose growers, with a very cold spring making it a very late season, Mrs O’Leary said.

And the late season has created a few headaches for growers hoping to score prizes in this weekend’s national rose show in Timaru.

Most years Mrs O’Leary takes at least three buckets full of cut roses to the show but it’s up to the weather this year how many classes she will have blooms ready to enter.

The shows are very competitive, with growers entering from around the country, but also a lot of fun as fellow growers were very friendly, she said.

The roses are judged on a range of attributes such as form, substance, freshness and foliage.

What the keen gardener loves

about roses is the fact they just keep on flowering.

“Some only flower once, but most just keep flowering through to April and May.” Her favourite variety is Intrigue, a dark red floribunda resilient to rain or sun. When it comes to colour, she says she’s not fussy and her rose garden is a riot of colour.

This year’s national show has attracted about 78 rose growers from around New Zealand.

It will be held at Caroline Bay Hall.

Top caffeine consumers unveiled The myth that Aucklanders are the nation’s top caffeine consumers has been debunked, according to a recent survey.

A newly released Colmar Brunton survey shows not only is Auckland’s coffee consumption deemed conservative compared to the rest of the country, but the popularity of the latte is on a vast decline.

Survey results show that Wellingtonians and Cantabrians have overthrown Aucklanders as the country’s top caffeine addicts. While the humble flat white is the most popular pick

around the country, similarities in preference stop there.

Cerebos Greggs country manager Andre Gargiulo said it is no surprise that coffee tastes differ from region to region.

“The survey results reflect what we have seen in our Robert Harris cafes as our franchisees have got to know our customers around the country,” he said. “It’s critical to understand customer preferences so we can cater to their tastes.”

Colmar Brunton CEO Jacqueline Farman said findings from the survey also show coffee

consumption increases with age, with 60 per cent of those aged 40 or over drinking at least two cups a day, compared to 42 per cent of 18 to 39-year-olds.

Woman were also shown to consume less coffee than their male counterparts, with almost a third of women completely abstaining from any caffeine boost.

Most interestingly, based on coffee consumption, marriage seems to be an exhausting venture with only 26 per cent of couples saying no to a cup of Joe. - NZME

A Christchurch pharmacy was held up at gunpoint yesterday.

An armed man entered Waltham Pharmacy in the suburb of Sydenham and demanded “drugs and money” at around 1.30pm. A pharmacy worker said the lone robber was shouting and had what looked like a gun. “I wasn’t sure if it was real or not,’ he said. “He was pretty much shouting, ‘Where’s the safe? Where’s the drugs and money’.” The man fled the scene in a car with an undisclosed sum of money and some drugs, the worker said. The suspect was followed by a police patrol car and a man later apprehended.

Kuggeleijn on trial Northern Districts cricketer Scott Kuggeleijn will go on trial in July next year fighting two sexual assault charges. The 23-year-old pleaded not guilty to a charge of sexual violation by way of rape on May 17, 2015 and indecent assault between March 2, 2015 and March 6, 2015 when he first appeared in the Hamilton District Court in July.

He reappeared in court yesterday, when a trial date was set down for July 25, next year.

Teacher in scam A teacher from a top Auckland school who used the identity of a Kiwi missing in the Australian outback to scam banks out of more than $67,000 will have to pay all the money back. Auckland Grammar School economics, accounting and business studies teacher Rafe Callum Fannin, 36, also took two of his colleagues’ driving licences to fraudulently set up bank accounts in fake names.

The judge sentenced him to nine months home detention and ordered him to repay the lot.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Feel-good factor to be tested by survey

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

If there are gaps in the Ashburton District’s social and wellbeing support networks, they will be exposed by a survey and during a series of meetings being held around the district.

The Ministry of Social Development has commissioned local authorities to consult their communities to identify the social and wellbeing issues those communities face.

The project is being driven locally by Ashburton District Council community development adviser Fleur Mulligan and she believes it will go a long way towards identifying the services and support people need.

“It recognises that local people know their own community best and that means we need to encourage as many people as possible to take part in this consultation through different channels,” she said.

The council is holding a series of community meetings and has survey forms available at its reception, the EA Networks Centre, Community House Mid Canterbury and at the Ashburton Public Library. It is also available online at www.adc.govt.nz.

“This is about things like connectedness, quality of life and how safe people feel in their community. We want to get as many people as possible to complete the survey so we get as many voices as pos-

sible,” Ms Mulligan said.

The community response forum would identify the support systems available and it would identify any gaps, she said. “I see this as linking everything together that’s in the community; it’s about understanding what’s there and how people can access it.”

The survey would be the first stage in the process of building a social and wellbeing support network that was designed by the community to meet the needs of

Santa set for Tinwald festival visit Santa will make what is probably his first appearance of the festive season on Sunday when he arrives at the Tinwald Festival on board a steam train.

He’s guest of honour at the Tinwald Christmas family fun day

the community, Ms Mulligan said.

The next public meeting will be at 5.30pm on December 1 in the Baring Square East council chamber community room. Survey forms must be completed by December 4.

Findings from meetings and surveys will form part of a report that will be available in March.

This report will help form the Ashburton CommunityPplan which will replace the district’s social wellbeing strategy.

that every year heralds the start of festive celebrations locally.

Event organiser Ann Craig has masterminded the event for many years and said it now almost runs itself. She has dozens of food and craft stalls booked for

the day and plenty of entertainment for young and old.

The Plains Railway and the model trains will be running, the Tinwald Pool will be open and the fire museum will also be open to visitors.

The event usually attracts large crowds, with many families opting to picnic in the domain area as well as enjoying the festival attractions, Mrs Craig said.

The festival runs from 10am to 4pm and admission is free.

Mt Somers Springburn School will soon be hosting a community recycling station thanks to a project organised by the Ashburton District Council.

The community recycling station used to be situated near the Mt Somers Tavern but had to move.

Mt Somers Springburn School principal Brent Gray said the school had been working with the council and the Mt Somers District Citizens’ Association on the project over the past three months.

The school site was chosen because it was a place everyone in the community knew and it would also help the students learn about recycling, he said.

“We’re really excited that the community association are on board.”

Having the station at the school would encourage the students to learn about sustainability and being environmentally-friendly, Mr Gray said.

The groundwork was completed by local farmer and parent David Clark who removed stumps and cleared rubbish with his digger on Labour Weekend.

The area will now be prepared and developed by council.

■ ATS

Farmer co-op reports $877,000 profit Decisions made 18 months ago that saw Ashburton’s farmer cooperative ATS rein in expenses, paid dividends in a year that saw its dairy farmer clients hammered by low prices, says the organisation’s chairman Phil McKendry.

After what proved to be a year of two halves, ATS ended its trading year in June 30 with an after tax profit of $877,000, a dramatic turnaround on the previous year

where it posted an after tax loss of $339,000.

Turnover for the year was up $4.4 million to $119.4 million, with sales per shareholder averaging $44,200.

“The first six months were quite buoyant but from February, the tide turned and dairy farmers closed their cheque books pretty quickly,” Mr McKendry said.

As part of a review of its expend-

iture 18 months ago, ATS was in a good position to ride through the dairy downturn, he said.

“That early focus on business efficiency had seen us remove our dairy representatives from the road and that raised a few eyebrows. We also reviewed our freight free policy and put in some parameters around it to control what had become a significant cost centre.”

There was an expanding network of suppliers accredited to accept the card and ATS expects significant growth in returns from the card business this financial year. ATS ended the year in a good position debtwise, carrying no long term debt.

The new financial year had started off quite slow but October and November were looking much stronger, he said.

The past year also saw ATS acquire a 100 per cent stake in Ruralco Card business. This was formed two years ago in a joint venture with Ravensdown but during the year the fertiliser coop decided to exit the relationship.

“That was a mutual decision and both parties negotiated an equitable exit,” Mr McKendry said.

Lomu fans mimic Ready to his iconic haircut

ramble

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 181115-TM-191

Dozens of people are expected to enjoy a day out at the Ashburton County Lions Garden Ramble on Saturday and Sheila Shearer (above) has been getting her garden ready for the big day.

People will be able to enjoy

the scenery, music, stalls and Devonshire tea (which is included in the price of the ticket).

Proceeds from the event will go to the Heart Foundation’s Ashburton branch.

The Garden Ramble will be

held at 383 Racecourse Road on Saturday from 2pm-4.30pm wet or fine.

Tickets are $15 and available from Todds of Ashburton, TCR, Ashburton County Lions members or at the gate.

Walk dedicated to Pike River men One section of the new Pike River “great walk” is 29km long, and another 29 miles – raising the possibility for each of the 29 victims of the 2010 mining disaster to have 1km or 1 mile dedicated to their memory.

Yesterday was the fifth anni-

versary of the tragedy.

Environment Minister NickSmith said there “may be some discussion with the families about how we can sensitively recognise the loss of each of the individual men”.

The Government would be

guided by the families committee, he said.

The $10 million walk and mountainbike track will total 45km in length, running from Blackball to Punakaiki, including part of the existing Croesus Track and Pororari River Track.

“Going to do it now cuzz that’s us,” ChrisandRochell Aho wrote.

The team at Undisputed Fitness & MMA in Papakura has also shaved the number 11 into their eyebrows to honour Lomu.

A photo montage of nine members of the gym with shaved eyebrows alongside Lomu in his All Blacks days has been posted on its Instagram account.

“We mourn the lost of our Brother Jonah Lomu,” the post said [sic].

“Our condolences and prayers go out to the family. In memory of you Jonah the Team got the JL11 eyebrow! Rest Easy brother.”

Twitter users have also spoken about their plans to mimic the sports icon’s haircut, or how they used to rock the style as a youngster.

“Going for a haircut tomorrow, going to ask for a Jonah Lomu,” Matt Burns wrote.

Sinira agreed: “Gonna get a Jonah Lomu haircut now.”

Rugby league player Kalifa Faifailoa said the cut was iconic when he was a boy.

“When I was a little kid having a hair cut was an easy choice I always asked my mum to give me the Jonah Lomu cut,” he tweeted with a photo of himself as a schoolboy.

When rugby great Jonah Lomu burst onto the world stage, he came with an iconic hairdo.

And his fans have started mimicking the style as a throwback to the All Blacks winger’s heyday, after his death.

A number of fans have posted photos of themselves with the “Jonah Lomu” cut - a shaved head with a tuft of hair on top - and number 11 shaved into their eyebrows on social media, paying homage to the star.

Matt Kotuhi posted a photo of his new ‘do on Facebook on Wednesday with the hashtag “Shaveforjonah”.

“RIP Jonah...this morning I awoke with the sad news you had moved on to a better place, not only that but had are full head of hair and some eye brows,” he wrote [sic].

“Thank you for the memories.”

He posted the message on Lomu’s Facebook page, prompting user Steve O’Connell to tag his friend and comment: “It’s time”.

John Aho posted a mug shot of himself as a Lomu lookalike on his own Facebook page, where it has received about 180 likes.

“Had to do one last hair cut and the eyebrows the big man himself Jonah Lomu inspiration to all of us kids...Rip doko.”

A number of his friends have commented on the photo, stating they too will give it a go.

Ag boys of 1961 are back In 1961, 47 13-year-old boys walked through the gates of Ashburton Technical College and became the Ag Class of ’61.

On Sunday, more than 50 years after they entered the world of work, those boys are getting together again to swap stories of their school days and to catch up on the years between then and now.

Reunion organiser Philip Crozier put out the call to gather and all but one of his classmates responded. And almost all said yes.

Ill health is keeping one or two away and another, now living in Australia, cannot be traced.

Not only are the students coming, but three teachers, Bill Corbett, Dave Rout and Alan Packman will also attend the gettogether.

A few of the students have stayed in touch over the years but most will be coming back to renew old friendships, Mr Crozier said.

The class of ‘61 will meet at the Ashburton MSA at 2pm on Sunday.

OUR VIEW

Religion part of a multicultural education

Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

R

eligion has been part of the school curriculum for decades, but many would say that in its current form, it has become almost irrelevant in today’s students’ lives.

Where once all education was based around religion and the Bible, during the last century it moved to become a separate topic, taught once a week by a rotating roster of visiting ministers. The broad spectrum of the mainstream Christian church community was involved and for students it was just one more subject to sit through and to absorb, or not.

Today the teaching of religion in schools has become an emotionally charged issue, one where there are few fence-sitters. You either support it or you’re dead against it.

In an age where the number of people who are either atheist, agnostic or simply religionless is growing, it would seem the teaching of anything based around traditional Christian beliefs raises a growing number of collective hackles.

In Ashburton most schools are still involved in the Religion in Schools programme, one that expounds only the Christian take on religion, but the Methodist Church has taken a very brave stance on the issue, calling for religious instruction to become multi-faith. And it’s a good call.

We live in a multi-cultural society, our neighbours are as likely to be Hindu or Buddhist as they are to be Christian – or atheist. It would follow that if we’re educating our children for the future, in a world where they will be global citizens, we provide them with at least a basic understanding of all religions.

They will be part of a world where borders are disappearing and cultures are merging and blending, where their friends, neighbours, workmates will be people for whom culture and religion are tightly interwoven.

To be truly global citizens, they need a knowledge, albeit brief, of the cultures and the religions that will make up their world.

Religious teaching in schools must become multi-faith, but for the new style instruction to be successfully accepted by the non-religious community, it needs to be better marketed, packaged better.

And that’s as simple as rewriting the curriculum and renaming it multi-cultural education.

Viva Las Vegas!

Ashburton Guardian 11

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Do you make a conscious effort to recycle?

Yes 83%

No 17%

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

I

was so looking forward to my first trip to Las Vegas. I had heard so much about it.

I was kind of worried that it was just a “boys’ trip” party town and Amanda would hate it.

But we had a super time there.

It was a bit weird dragging our suitcases through a busy casino floor when we first arrived, but that wouldn’t be the weirdest moment we had in Vegas, not by a long shot.

Our casino/hotel was in the old strip area known as Downtown.

Although it didn’t have all the glitz and glamour of the main Strip, it was cheaper to have a wee wager on the tables and the accommodation was also friendlier on the wallet.

Our casino was in a giant arcade that was two blocks long and fully enclosed. The roof was actually LED lights that would burst into life several times a night.

You could zipline just under the roof (several stories high) down the entire two blocks, which Amanda bravely did. I would have, but I’d just washed my hair and was concerned it might frizz up at that altitude.

The two blocks are full of casinos, restaurants, souvenir shops and buskers. Some of the buskers were amazing, spray can artists, dancers, magicians and singers.

Then there’s the “others”, the beggars and the weirdos, like the 80-plus-year-old man in the bright green Borat mankini. Or the fat guy with bunny ears in the pink bikini. They are very happy to have a photo with you as long as you dish over some folding stuff.

Once you get over the initial “What the hell did I just see” shock of all this, it just adds to the whole flavour of the place.

In our casino, you could get a free photo with $1,000,000 and we had a resident magician and Elvis impersonator. The magician Mike Hammer was very funny and a talented magician, the Elvis impersonator, Steve Connolly, was a very talented singer but almost spoilt it by trying to be a comedian in between the songs. Just sing the songs man!

A half-hour ride on the world’s tallest ferris wheel (the High Roller 168m) and the awesome Brazilian Restaurant were highlights, but the two absolute stand-out moments of our stay in Vegas were the helicopter flight into the Grand Canyon and The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil.

The half-hour helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon takes you past the Hoover Dam before dropping down into the canyon and landing. You have a picnic including a glass of bubbles, although it’s tough to enjoy that when you are in complete awe

PRESS COUNCIL Above – What $1,000,000 looks like.

Inset – A Vegas sight.

Right – LED lights lighting up a ceiling. of the location. It’s hard to put into words – breathtaking and a must-do.

We left our casino at 5am and were back by 10.30am, unlike the bus trip to the Canyon Skywalk which is pretty much going to take all day. It wasn’t cheap!

About $NZ500 each but worth every cent.

I have seen some pretty amazing concerts in my time but the Cirque du Soleil show The Beatles LOVE was as good as any of them if not better.

You didn’t know where to look some of the time, there was so much going on. LOVE combines the re-produced and re-imagined music of the Beatles with an interpretive, circus-based artistic

and athletic stage performance.

The show plays at a specially built theatre at the Mirage in Las Vegas. It houses 6341 speakers and 2013 seats set around a central stage. We left with our minds blown!

The city bills itself as “The Entertainment Capital of the World” and it gets no argument from us.

In brief

■ PARIS

Attack mastermind dead?

The hunt for the mastermind of this week’s attacks took a bloody turn yesterday to a Paris suburb where a fierce gunbattle with police left at least two people dead and eight arrested. The fate of the alleged ringleader was unclear, with authorities saying he was not taken alive and they were trying to determine if he died in the raid.

Police launched the operation after receiving information from tapped phone calls, surveillance and tipoffs suggesting that 27-year-old Abdelhamid Abaaoud was holed up in an apartment in Paris’ Saint-Denis neighbourhood.

Terrified residents awoke to gunfire and explosions as a SWAT team swooped in and “neutralized” what Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins called a “new team of terrorists” that appeared ready for a new attack.

Molins said the identities of the dead were still being investigated, but that neither Abaaoud nor another fugitive, Salah Abdeslam, was in custody.

“At this time, I’m not in a position to give a precise and definitive number for the people who died, nor their identities, but there are at least two dead people,” Molins said.

The site of Wednesday’s raid is not far from the Stade de France soccer stadium; three suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the stadium during an international soccer game as part of the attacks last Friday that left 129 people dead and hundreds wounded.

Molins said police units including snipers threw grenades and fired 5000 rounds in an hourlong gunbattle that began before dawn on Wednesday. The dead included a woman who was believed to have blown herself up with a suicide belt, though Molins said “this point needs to be verified by an analysis of the body and human remains.”

Five police were wounded and a SWAT team dog was killed in the intense gunbattle during which the third floor of the apartment building collapsed.

Residents described hunkering down in fear.

“We tried to stop our children hearing the noise,” said Farah

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon used World Toilet Day yesterday to spotlight one of the least talked about and most important contributors to disease and malnutrition: poor sanitation and hygiene that affect about a third of the world’s population. According to the United Nations, 2.4 billion people lack adequate sanitation and nearly one billion have no toilet facilities and are forced to relieve themselves in open areas.

The UN Millennium Development Goals, which are supposed to be achieved this year, call for cutting in half the proportion of the population without access to basic sanitation.

Water cut off

“My 19-month-old was crying.

Our 8-year-old said ‘What is it?

Are there more attacks?’”

She said she could hear gunfire on and off for over an hour, followed by “one really huge boom.”

The head of one of the special forces units that took part in the raid, Jean-Michel Fauverge, said police used drones and robots equipped with cameras in an attempt to see what was going on inside during the raid but there was too much debris.

When they entered the building they found a body that had fallen from the third floor to the second, he told the French newspaper Le Figaro.

“The corpse was mutilated, probably from grenades and he wasn’t recognisable,” Fauverge said. “Other people were in the stairwell, two men hiding under blankets and whatever they could find. We arrested them.”

Molins said five men were taken into custody in the apartment building, including two who were pulled from the rubble. A woman and two other men, including the man whose apartment was used as the cell’s hideout, were arrest-

tion for the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation forum which normally focuses on trade and business issues.

The APEC bloc groups the United States and China with middle powers such as Australia as well as developing nations in Asia and South America. It accounts for about 60 per cent of the global economy.

The leaders said they are stressing the “urgent need for increased international cooperation and solidarity in the fight against terrorism.”

Household water is being cut off for hours each day amid a worsening shortage on some Torres Strait islands. Torres Strait Regional Authority chairman Joseph Elu says the worst-affected areas are rationing water and may have only 60 days of supplies left.

“I think it’s a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon (when houses are allowed water),” he told AAP. The shortage is being blamed on a dry spell after a lacklustre wet season last year. The authority says it would be too expensive to ship water to the area and that it would consider getting extra portable desalination plants to move around the islands.

Schoolies arrive

Police forces and soldiers patrol in Saint-Denis, a suburb of Paris, after a raid with suspected terrorists.

PHOTO AP ed on a nearby street.

Authorities didn’t release their identities; Molins would only say that Abaaoud and Abdeslam were not among them.

Investigators have identified Abaaoud, a Belgian of Moroccan descent, as the chief architect of the attacks Friday against the soccer stadium, a crowded concert hall and popular night spots in a trendy Paris neighborhood.

A US official briefed on intelli-

gence matters said Abaaoud was a key figure in an Islamic State external operations cell that US intelligence agencies have been tracking for months.

Abaaoud is believed to have escaped to Syria after a January police raid in Belgium, but he has bragged in Islamic State propaganda of his ability to move back and forth between Europe and Syria undetected.

- AP

Call to co-operate against terrorism Asia-Pacific leaders called yesterday for governments to urgently increase co-operation in the fight against terrorism as they held annual talks overshadowed by the Paris attacks.

A copy of the declaration that the leaders will issue following their talks, seen by The Associated Press, said they “strongly condemn all acts, methods, and practices of terrorism.”

The statement, which also mentions attacks in Beirut and against a Russian airliner over Sinai, is a departure from conven-

World toilet day

“We will not allow terrorism to threaten the fundamental values that underpin our free and open economies,” the statement said.

President Barack Obama, China’s President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are in the Philippine capital for the summit as France and Russia were pursuing resolutions in the UN Security Council seeking to unite the international community in combating the Islamic State group.

On Wednesday, the hunt by French police for the master-

mind of last week’s attacks led to a gunbattle in a Paris suburb. Two people were killed.

The mission of the 21-member APEC, convened in Manila under extremely tight security, is lowering barriers to trade and economic development. The declaration noted the vital link between lack of economic opportunity and terrorism.

“Economic growth, prosperity, and opportunity are among the most powerful tools to address the root causes of terrorism and radicalisation,” it said.

As about 30,000 school leavers prepare to descend on Surfers Paradise, police have made a major drug bust on the Gold Coast.

Ecstasy pills and liquid fantasy were seized in the arrest, which occurred near the Surfers Paradise entertainment precinct yesterday.

Police allege the quantities of drug meant they were for supply or distribution purposes.

Surfers Paradise Police Station officer in charge Senior Sergeant James Munckton said the arrest highlighted some of the dangers poised during schoolies celebrations.

New Isis threat New York police say they were aware of a new Islamic State video targeting the city but stressed there was “no current or specific threat”. As the video emerged just days after the deadly terror attacks in Paris, Mayor Bill de Blasio vowed that “New York City will not be intimidated”. New York Police Department spokesman Stephen Davis said authorities were aware of a newly-released IS video that “mentions Times Square”.

“While some of the video footage is not new, the video reaffirms the message that New York City remains a top terrorist target.” - AP

■ FASTEST JOB GROWTH

Property, construction where it’s at

BY ANNE GIBSON

construction projects have been announced for Auckland, and together with the ongoing Christchurch rebuild, look set to continue the current boom in construction, property and infrastructure. As businesses re-establish themselves in Christchurch, a pick-up in activity is expected for next level services, such as marketing, sales, finance and IT,” Michael Page said.

The survey’s finding tally with

information from specialist online jobs business Seek predicting that this year, the biggest numbers of new jobs would be in education and training, healthcare and the medical fields, building trades, technology, design and architecture.

However, Statistics New Zealand data out this month showed New Zealand employment unexpectedly fell for the first time in three years in the third quarter,

driven by a decline in part-time workers, and the participation rate declined further from a record high. Employment fell 0.4 per cent in the three months ended September 30, for an annual gain of 1.5 per cent, Statistics New Zealand said.

The participation rate fell to 68.6 per cent from 69.3 per cent.

But Michael Page found that overall, optimism was running high in New Zealand’s employ-

Dairy prices fell again at this weeks Global Dairy Trade auction, the third consecutive decline.

Despite a fall in volumes from New Zealand, overseas supplies continue to climb, pushing prices down. The average dairy price fell 7.9 per cent and is now at a two-month low.

Whole milk powder, New Zealand’s key product group, fell 11.0 per cent, moving away from the price level Fonterra has indicated needs to be achieved to maintain the forecast payout ratio, currently sitting at $4.60 per kilo of milk solids.

As was reiterated in the Financial Stability review last week from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the dairy sector remains a concern for the New Zealand economy.

Further downward pressure from the latest auction and a subdued outlook for production is causing some frustration; however, Fonterra is confident we will see another bounce in prices in the first half of 2016, recovering from the recent lows we are seeing.

Fonterra this week announced an upgrade to its earnings guidance for this financial year.

Chairman John Wilson said that the company’s financial performance was well ahead of last year and its transformational business plan, which involved a large number of job cuts, was generating significant cash savings.

As mentioned above, management are optimistic that dairy prices will recover over the next few months as over-supply from global markets begins to abate and bilateral trade agreements will achieve premium prices outside the fortnightly auctions.

BHP Billiton continues to feel the impact of its dam disaster in Brazil, as the share price dropped to levels not seen since the global financial crisis.

The disaster happened at the company’s joint venture mine in Brazil when a dam burst and killed 11 people and wiped out a village.

So far both BHP and Vale, the other company involved in the joint venture, have faced two rounds of fines; however, prosecutors in Brazil are looking into further charges.

The investment community is also punishing BHP with the shares being sold down sharply following the disaster dipping below the $20 mark.

The mining disaster has occurred when commodity prices are also well down and iron ore in particular has hit fresh lows, adding to BHP’s woes.

arkets had a rocky start to the week following the terrorist attacks in Paris over the weekend.

Commentators were unsure how markets would react to the news or if it would be business as usual.

Asian markets on Monday all went lower at the opening bell although made some ground up later in the day.

US and European markets, however, shrugged off the attacks and instead rose as oil prices had a temporary reprieve from recent falls, spurred on by French retaliatory attacks.

Earlier in the week the US released inflationary data for October, which showed a 0.2 per cent increase in prices for the month.

This was up from the last month’s reading, which showed prices were unchanged from the previous month.

A return to inflation, albeit a marginal increase in prices, is the final piece of the puzzle that the Federal Reserve was looking for in order to begin hiking interest rates in the US. The release of the Fed minutes from the last meeting in October also increased the likelihood of a December rate hike.

This gave a clear signal that officials are largely in favour of a December hike, saying that conditions may well be met by the next meeting as the jobs market continues to improve and inflation starts to head towards its 2 per cent target.

The US economy appears to be weathering the global slowdown well and without signs of stress.

The property and construction sectors have New Zealand’s fastest job growth and will outstrip all other sectors in the next two years.

Demand for talent is highest in these areas and more than half the employees or 62 per cent are receiving bonuses, according to a survey of salary and employment by the local arm of international recruitment experts Michael Page which questioned 335 employers across a range of industry sectors.

“Property and construction continue to lead the way in growth, outstripping other industries in terms of activity and demand for talent for the next 12 to 24 months.

“Confidence levels are high, with 82 per cent of employers in this sector rating their confidence at good and very good, versus the overall sector average of 68 per cent. A large number of employees (62 per cent) in this field are receiving bonuses, indicating strong performance,” the survey found.

“Significant infrastructure and

ment field because 68 per cent of employees said confidence in the industry they work in was either good or very good.

“Despite factors such as China’s slowdown and external data pointing at a market softening, businesses remain optimistic, though growth rates have started to slow compared to the past 12 months,” the survey found.

Pete Macauley, Michael Page New Zealand regional director, said employers should focus on staff career planning.

“If organisations have the means to provide adequate remuneration, their focus should be on highlighting the progression opportunities they can offer candidates, particularly as the market and businesses grow. This allows companies to demonstrate their point of difference and long-term value to candidates.

“We expect growth and job levels to continue upwards, but at a slower pace than the preceding 12 months. Companies continue to proactively introduce new products and revenue streams, moving into new markets and investing in headcount in response.” – NZME

In brief Lauitiiti returns Former Leeds and Wakefield forward Ali Lauitiiti is ending his career where it began after signing a one-year deal with the Warriors.

The 36-year-old former New Zealand international backrower has spent the past 12 years in Super League and played his final game on English soil as a guest for the Rhinos against the touring Kiwis in October. Lauitiiti’s contract with the Wakefield Wildcats expired at the end of the 2015 season and Warriors’ recruitment and development manager Tony Iro announced he has second-tier deal, paving the way for him to return to where his top-level career began 17 years ago.

Origin loss still hurts Richard Browne was selected for the Boule Blacks after impressing at the PNZ National Doubles Championships.

Reward for the hard yards

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Richard Browne has been selected for the New Zealand pétanque team, the Boule Blacks, after impressing at the PNZ National Doubles Championships in Herne Bay, Auckland, a fortnight ago.

Browne was notified of his selection on Tuesday evening when New Zealand coach John Greig called to deliver the news, and the 45-year-old will make his first appearance at the transTasman championships at Alexandra in March.

Being selected to represent New Zealand is a mammoth achievement in its own right, but what makes Browne’s call-up even more unique, is that he only took up the sport less than four years ago.

“Rosemary McLaughlin put an article in the paper and it just went from there,” he said.

“I went to a competition in Christchurch and got paired up with a lady who had represented New Zealand and we won the competition.”

Two years later, Browne set his sights on reaching the national pinnacle of the sport and vied for New Zealand selection, and this month he achieved that feat.

The MSA player teamed up with Christchurch’s Bruno Falco and headed north for the national doubles championships, where the duo locked horns with the country’s finest and eventually placed third equal.

“There wasn’t a single team that we played on the second day that hadn’t represented New Zealand,” he said.

“I had blisters on my feet up in Auckland.

“They’re a 15-metre piece and you’re walking up and down every minute for nine hours.

“I had three five-minute breaks on the second day, I can do over 10km a day.”

Browne and Falco both made the grade following a day of rigorous assessment after the champs.

“We were being assessed all weekend.

“Every ball was counted, whether it made a difference; did it take the point? How close did it get to the head?,” he said.

Browne reflected positively on his determined training schedule that pushed him to national selection and the chance to take on the Aussies next year.

“I was really pleased.

“I put a lot of pressure on myself to get up to that level, and how many people can say they represented their country,” he said.

“We really want to win it.

“I think in the last 15 years Australia has only won it three times so that would be great.”

Browne, who teaches at the Mid Canterbury Technology Centre, said his chosen sport can be enjoyed by all, but it takes dedication to refine the skills needed to reach the top.

“It’s just for fun.

“It only takes five minutes to learn the game, but it takes a lifetime to master and the kids love it because it’s a challenge,” he said.

“You can be fully involved and understand the basic rules straight away.”

Langman cleans up at netball awards Laura Langman made it a clean sweep of the top prizes at the inaugural Netball New Zealand Awards in Auckland this week.

The star midcourter, who has not missed a game for the Ferns since making her debut in 2005, is fittingly the first player to receive the Dame Lois Muir supreme award - an honour introduced this year to recognise New Zealand’s top netballer.

It capped off a big night for Langman, who was also crowned the New Zealand ANZ Championship player of the year and the Silver Ferns players of the year.

The awards, which were held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum, were introduced this year to honour outstanding contributions across all levels of the sport.

NSW’s record State of Origin humiliation is in the mind of every Blues player as they prepare for the 2016 NRL season. Queensland’s record 52-6 thumping in the series decider in July delivered the interstate crown back to the Maroons in the most emphatic of ways and signalled their champion team is far from done with yet.

The 2016 series opener is set down for June 1 at ANZ Stadium, and it is a date Blues prop Aaron Woods concedes will be circled in the calendar by every NSW player involved in the Suncorp Stadium massacre.

Burling and Tuke claimed two race wins and an eighth in Argentina yesterday to move into the lead in the battle to defend their 49er world crown. The Kiwi pair hold a handy 17-point lead over Spain’s Federico Alonso and Arturo Alonso Tellechea. “It was another solid day for us,” Tuke said. “Our first goal at these events, with qualifying, is to make it through to gold fleet in a position to be able to push for the lead in the second half of the week when the racing steps up. So to have a little lead at this stage of the week is good.”

The International Cricket Council announced its updated rankings yesterday, with Williamson joining Australian skipper Smith in equal second spot. Warner climbed two places and is ranked No 5.

Washout frustrating Indian captain Virat Kohli was left frustrated yesterday after the rainravaged second Test against South Africa robbed his team of the opportunity to set up a possible series win. The match ended in a dreary draw in Bangalore as play was washed out for a fourth consecutive day after the hosts had gained the upper hand on the opening day. The umpires called off the final day’s play at 11:30am due to a wet outfield after incessant rains over the past week.

Kohli hoped his team, who won the first Test in Mohali by 108 runs to gain the lead in the four-match series, will take the momentum into the third Test which starts on November 25 in Nagpur.

Outright win in sight

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s First XI will take on Christchurch Boys’ High School’s Colts XI in day two of two at the domain tomorrow.

The Colts are currently 60 runs behind with five wickets intact so it promises to be an interesting day of declarations if College are to pick up another outright victory.

CBHS won the toss and elected field last Saturday, and the decision looked good early on, as Josh Gill went for nought off Brelyn Little’s ball, but fellow opener Michael Burton was defiant.

Burton and Sam Hall put on 64 runs before Hall was dismissed for 13.

Captain Kieran Hunt then entered the fray and punished some short bowling, smashing three 6s and four 4s.

Burton (55) was eventually sent back to the pavilion after a determined innings from a fine catch

by Louie Chapman off the bowling of Little for his third wicket.

Kieran Hunt (38) was next to go when seamer Jackson Pauling took his first of an eventual six wicket haul.

Zach Naldrett was then caught for 3 by Mitchell Hay off Pauling’s

delivery before Liam O’Connor and Ben Niles went on the attack.

O’Connor was then dismissed for 17 by Moody’s delivery but Punselie and Niles produced a fine effort, punishing any sloppy balls before Pauling returned to the action. Niles was caught by Chapman at mid-off before Will Graham went for a duck stumped

by Hay and Punselie (41) was caught by Jayden Ball.

Kieran Hunt’s younger brother Gareth (25) batted well with Connor O’Grady for the last wicket as the pair put on 26 before Hunt was caught to leave College’s total at 264.

Christchurch began their reply solidly, albeit unspectacularly, but Kieran Hunt managed to remove Ball for 16.

New batsman Liam Faulkes (16) was soon caught behind by Naldrett off Graham’s bowling.

Graham was successful again after the umpire ruled Chapman out lbw and Sam Hall then made a fine catch at gully to see off Hay. Opener Gus Mowat (74) was eventually clean bowled by Kieran Hunt in the last action of the day.

Tomorrow, the Colts will begin five down and 60 runs adrift at 10:30am.

An innocent meaning to ‘very guilty words’ Andrew Fitch-Holland’s honest explanation of a Skype conversation has been compared to someone accused of witchcraft - either drowned for telling the truth, or burnt at the stake.

In closing the defence case on a charge of perverting the course of justice, Jonathan Laidlaw QC reminded the jury his client was criticised by the Crown for giving an account that was “too good to be true”.

Crown prosecutor Sasha Wass QC said Fitch-Holland gave an innocent meaning to “very guilty

words” was an insult to the intelligence of the jury.

His explanation to the police, repeated consistently in his evidence at trial, was contrived as honest witnesses can’t get every detail right, said Ms Wass.

This was “deeply unfair” said Mr Laidlaw and the Crown line of argument was similar to the trials of women accused of witchcraft in medieval times.

If they drowned, they were innocent. If they survived, they were witches and burnt at the stake.

“You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t,” said Mr Laidlaw.

Consistency was a sign of truthfulness, said the Queen’s Counsel, and inconsistency which undermines credibility.

Mr Laidlaw said the Crown was fearful as they recognised FitchHolland gave a “compelling account delivered by an honest and innocent man”.

He urged the jury to listen to the Skype call again with that in mind.

In summing up his defence,

Mr Laidlaw said Fitch-Holland was living a “nightmare” in which he sat accused in the Southwark Crown Court where he normally worked as a prosecutor or defence barrister.

Fitch-Holland’s position was very clear - he never believed Chris Cairns was involved in match-fixing and it would “break his heart” if he was wrong.

If the jury acquitted Cairns of perjury, then Mr Laidlaw said the Crown case against FitchHolland must be dismissed also.

Surprise selection Steve O’Keefe believes his strong relationship with captain Steve Smith and wicketkeeper Peter Nevill will be crucial to any success he enjoys if called into the Australian XI for the third Test against New Zealand. O’Keefe was the surprise inclusion in Australia’s 13-man squad for the historic day/night match against New Zealand, with Shaun Marsh and James Pattinson also recalled. The 30-year-old has only one Test to his name. But he has played plenty of cricket with Smith and Nevill for NSW and believes that experience could be crucial in Adelaide. - AAP

Southee backs Craig Senior bowler Tim Southee is backing under-pressure spinner Mark Craig to bounce back from a tough first two tests against Australia. Craig has taken six expensive wickets in the tests at Brisbane and Perth and copped heavy punishment from Australia’s batsmen. “We knew as bowlers that the Aussies were probably going to look to attack us, and they have done that,” Southee said. “He’s probably not at his best but he’s not letting it get him down. We all go through phases in our career where we’re not performing as we’d like.

But hopefully one final push in Adelaide (for the third test) and he can show Australia what Mark Craig is capable of.”

Russian agency suspended

By Steve Keating The World Anti-Doping Agency continued to crack down on Russia drug cheats yesterday by suspending the country’s anti-doping agency amid calls to extend investigations to other countries and sports.

The decision to suspend the Russian Anti-Doping Agency for non-compliance had the full support of WADA’s foundation board and follows the international anti-doping commission’s report that detailed a widespread doping scandal in the country.

A Moscow lab which processed blood and urine samples from Russian athletes on behalf of the Russian athletics federation had already been decertified and handed a six-month provisional suspension.

A WADA disciplinary committee was appointed to look at a possible longer suspension or recertification.

Former WADA President Dick Pound, who headed the independent commission, said the probe found cover-ups, bribes to conceal positive tests, destruction of samples and evidence of Russian state security services of colluding with the country’s athletics federation to enable athletes to freely dope.

Russia were barred last week by the IAAF and can only return to athletics competition once they have proven they have set up a new framework to stop doping.

Israel, Andorra, Argentina, Bolivia and Ukraine were also found non-compliant of the WADA Code and can no longer conduct anti-doping programs.

The mercury out west is expected to hover at around 33 degrees for tomorrow’s 4.30pm kick-off at nib Stadium, and Arnold believed the key in a scorching environment may simply be to hold onto possession and outlast the Glory in their own backyard.

Security measures will be increased significantly for ‘El Clasico’ between Real Madrid and Barcelona tomorrow in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, Spain’s secretary of state for security Francisco Martinez said. The decision was made at a special meeting of top sporting and security officials ahead of the high-profile match that will be watched by around 80,000 fans at the Bernabeu and millions more around the world.

“We are on anti-terrorist alert four (with five a very high risk) and there will be extensive security so as to guarantee that the match takes place with complete normality.”

Scott setting pace Belgium, Greece, Mexico and Spain were placed on a compliance “watch list” and have until March to get their house in order and bring their anti-doping programs in line with the WADA Code.

While Russia and their athletics program have been in the WADA crosshairs, Pound has repeatedly made it clear that Russia is not the only country and athletics not the only sport with doping issues.

“There have been a lot of calls for a more comprehensive investigation on the basis that it surely

is not just athletics in Russia.

“But whether the WADA management will be able to do that or not I don’t know,” said Pound.

“Russia is not the only country in the world with this problem so let’s not try and make it look as though we think that is the case.

“We know about Turkey, we know about Kenya and we know about others so you have to be somewhat even-handed so you don’t look like you are picking on one country even if that country has a major problem.”

The foundation board heard from several members urging the

global agency to do more and dig deeper.

Beckie Scott, a Canadian cross-country Olympic champion and chair of the WADA athlete committee, told the board that many athletes have asked her why the commission was focused solely on Russia and Russian athletics.

“They’re saying, ‘Why not all sports?’“ Scott told the board meeting via conference call.

“We’re at a crossroads. We urge you to please consider the athletes and sports as a whole.”

Blatter, Platini lose appeals against bans

By Michael ShieldS Suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter and European soccer chief Michel Platini have lost their appeals against provisional 90-days bans by the global soccer body’s ethics committee, FIFA said.

Both men say they will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

“Michel Platini has full confidence that the CAS will restore all his rights,” said a statement issued by his spokesman.

“Meanwhile, he remains a composed and determined candidate for the FIFA presidency.

“The decision comes as no surprise,” the statement said.

“It confirms that FIFA, through its internal bodies, is conducting a one-sided, unfair and biased investigation against Michel Platini, repeatedly violating his

right to defend himself.”

If Platini wins his appeal at the CAS, the electoral committee has said it would review his case but there is no guarantee he would be able to stand in the February election.

Blatter said in a statement issued by his US lawyer he was “disappointed” by the decision and would appeal.

“He looks forward to the opportunity to be heard, including through the presentation of evidence and argument of counsel, and thereby demonstrate he has engaged in no misconduct.”

FIFA was thrown into turmoil in May by the US indictments of 14 football officials, including two FIFA vice-presidents, and sports marketing executives for alleged corruption.

Blatter, who has been at the head of FIFA since 1998, also faces criminal investigation in

Sepp Blatter: Still facing criminal charges.

Switzerland over a two million Swiss franc payment from FIFA to Platini.

Both men have denied wrongdoing.

The payment was made in 2011 for work Platini had completed nine years earlier, the Swiss attorney-general’s office has said.

FIFA’s Ethics Committee has

said it hopes to have completed the full investigation into Blatter and Platini in time for a final decision to be made on their cases by the end of their 90-day suspension period.

Both men could then face much longer bans if found guilty of contravening FIFA’s code of ethics which, in Platini’s case, would mean he also loses his position as UEFA president.

Meanwhile, in another dramatic development for FIFA, the president of Chile’s national soccer body has flown to the US, reportedly to turn government witness in the FBI’s corruption probe. Local newspapers have quoted officials as saying that Sergio Jadue was planning to collaborate with the FBI investigation.

“It’s not a holiday,” El Mercurio cited one official as saying. “Jadue is travelling as a protected informant of US justice.” - Reuters

McHale, who went 193-130 during his tenure with the Rockets, signed a three-year contract extension worth more than $US12 million ($NZ16.8m) last December. - AFP

It’s Frosty v the world

By Ben Mckay Even Mark Winterbottom’s team agrees, it’s Frosty against the world when it comes to winning the V8 Supercars championship.

Mark Skaife raised eyebrows this week, describing Winterbottom as the “lone ranger” in his bid for a first title in a decade in the sport.

Winterbottom has a 239-point lead heading to the penultimate race meet of the season this weekend on Phillip Island.

But with Prodrive team-mate Chaz Mostert out with a broken leg sustained at the Bathurst 1000 and fellow Ford man David Reynolds his closest rival for the title, Winterbottom is light on for support.

You might expect Cam Waters, deputising for Mostert in the No.6 Falcon, to be offended by Skaife’s comments.

Instead, the 21-year-old concurs, telling AAP he was “probably right”.

To Waters, the V8 Supercars field is flooded with Commodores with little to fight for this season, out to spoil Winterbottom’s parade.

“The other Holden guys, they’re not even in the championship,” he said.

“They’ve said they are going to make it as hard as possible, so I guess I’ll just have to make it as hard as possible for them.”

The first step might be ending the friendly fire that nearly derailed Winterbottom in the Auckland 500.

Winterbottom was left at the back of the field in Sunday’s main race, at the end of a chain reaction of bumps.

Team principal Tim Edwards blamed “Holden morons” for the incident but Waters later confessed he started the chain.

“I probably caused it but it wasn’t really my fault.

“It all concertinaed up pretty hard,” he said.

Irrespective, Waters earned rave reviews for his drive at Pukekohe and is an unbackable favourite to earn a full-time drive with the team next season in car No.55, vacated

by Mercedes-bound Reynolds.

He said he was “100 per cent trying to get that seat” and hoped to be locked in before the series reaches its conclusion in Sydney.

There, he’ll revert to the support Dunlop Series category as he looks to convert his championship lead into a title of his own.

Until then, it’s all about helping Winterbottom to his maiden Supercars crown.

“I should be half okay to mix it with those guys ... if I’m quick enough and I’m up with Mark I’ll help as much as i can,” he said.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Mason off to the Catalans Veteran NRL player Willie Mason has reportedly received a lucrative offer to finish his career at Super League side Catalans Dragons in France.

According to Fairfax Media, several NRL clubs have approached him about a one-year deal but he is tipped to join a star-studded Dragons squad already containing Todd Carney, Glenn Stewart, Willie Tonga, Krisnan Inu, Dave Taylor and Justin Horo.

Aged 35, Mason has played with Canterbury, the Sydney Roosters, North Queensland, Newcastle and Manly, winning a premiership with the Bulldogs and a Clive Churchill Medal.

The former Australian and NSW State of

Origin forward has dismissed any thoughts of retirement, telling Fairfax Media he has more to offer.

“I’m 35 but my body is in good nick. I don’t miss any sessions.

“If I didn’t get suspended, I would have played every game this year. If you look at the stats, I’m more productive than my last three years.

“So I’m thinking ‘why retire?’. Because of my age? It doesn’t mean anything really.

“I love my job. You can’t do anything else where the pay is good, you wake up and muck around with your mates and get to compete on the weekend. The only thing that sucks is pre-season. I’m trying to hold it off as long as I am,” Mason said. - AAP

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): This is a lucky day for selling, earning and investing. Your attention has a way of making things bigger and better. Whatever you focus on will grow right before your eyes.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re not the centre of the solar system, but you may as well be as far as a certain someone is concerned. This person’s thoughts will orbit nonstop around you today.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): What you want to do is possible. The only question is, are you willing to do what it takes to get there? Self-discipline is called for. So is an excellent action plan. How serious are you about this?

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Sure, you’d prefer not to fight for what you want. But if everything were handed to you, you wouldn’t be half the person you are today. It’s not the war; it’s about the warrior.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Loyalty is a rare trait. It can be hard to find a friend who will behave and say the same things behind your back as he or she would to your face. You’ll test your friendships today, and one will pass with flying colours.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll be drawn to those with interesting and exciting objectives and who have a tendency to put an upbeat spin on things.

You need more friends like these!

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Once you find the answer to a question, two more questions will grow out of that answer. So don’t expect resolution. Try to enjoy the mystery. There’s something wonderful about it.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): If they’re not listening, maybe it’s a good thing. Work on your presentation and communication skills. Improving these will have a positive impact on every aspect of your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your friends are lucky because you support and promote those you believe in at every opportunity. Make sure you take advantage of opportunities for your own advancement.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll find a truthful source of information. Work all you can with this because it will give you a skill you didn’t have before. Not only that, it will also make you wise.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You tend to want to fix things for the people you love, but this could set a precedent that will be exhausting to keep up in the future. Stand back. Is it really your responsibility?

Could they really help themselves?

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The novel circumstances and people you’re around today will bring out a different side of you. Even those who know you well will find that there’s much to learn.

Curtain drawn on stellar career Richie McCaw has confirmed he is hanging up his boots and retiring from professional rugby.

The 34-year-old All Blacks captain and most capped All Black of all time has drawn the curtain on his stunning international career which started in Dublin 14 years ago, almost to the day, and ended in London last month when he hoisted the Webb Ellis Cup aloft for the second time.

McCaw announced his decision at the New Zealand Rugby offices in Wellington yesterday.

“I’m hanging up my boots having ac-

complished everything I could have ever dreamed about in the game.

“Knowing that I was able to end my career by helping the All Blacks win the Rugby World Cup Final is a hugely satisfying feeling,” he said.

“Professional rugby has been great to me.

“It’s allowed me to pursue my passion, to be involved with great people, hopefully make those close to me proud and travel the world.

“I’ve had some wonderful experiences for which I’m very grateful.”

“I’d also like to thank the fans who have

supported me, both here and overseas.

“Your unwavering and passionate support for myself and the other players has always given us a huge lift. We play the game to make you proud and I hope I have managed to do that over the years.”

McCaw said he would now be concentrating on his business, personal sponsorship and charity interests.

McCaw said he’d never considered taking up a professional contract overseas after his international days were over.

“Going to play rugby just because you want to earn a fat cheque, it just didn’t spin my wheels.”
