Methven hot pools action heats up

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

FULL STORY

Methven’s multi-million dollar hot pools project is about to move one giant step closer to becoming one of the Ashburton District’s most significant tourist attractions.

After years of planning and fundraising, the pools’ shareholders are close to applying for a resource consent for the development, which is planned for land adjoining the Mt Harding Racecourse.

They have carried out extensive research on potential use of the facility and estimate the complex would attract about 100,000 visitors a year,

adding significant value to the district’s tourism sector.

Grow Mid Canterbury chief executive Rob Brawley says it will take between six months and a year to move through the resource consent process.

Shareholder representatives have started talking with potentially affected landowner neighbours to ensure they supported or were aware of what was planned.

Consultation has also begun with the wider community.

“The more we take the community with us, the easier the resource consent application should be,” Mr Brawley said.

Along with project manager Bert Hofmans, Mr Brawley this week updated the Methven Community Board on progress with the project.

The site for the pool complex is on Main Street, behind the Equus Park proposed subdivision. It is being sited to take advantage of magnificent views to Mt Hutt and the Southern Alps.

A resource consent is required because the commercial activity will be on the land, zoned Rural A.

Azalea: My booty’s all mine She may have enhanced boobs and had a nose job but Iggy Azalea insists her butt is all her own. The rapper, who is in Sydney in her role as ambassador for underwear brand Bonds, has been accused of having butt implants. “People have been saying I have bum implants forever – I do not have bum implants, I obviously have no problem talking about cosmetic enhancement,” Azalea told Network Ten’s The Project on Wednesday. Azalea said she initially thought she would deny the cosmetic surgery she has had done but then she thought it would be silly to deny something so obvious. “I had a positive experience with it and I think it’s kind of obvious so it would have been, I don’t know, it’s lame to deny something so obvious,” she said.

A young woman has succeeded in having popular men’s magazine Zoo Weekly pulled from the shelves of Coles and is calling for Woolworths to do the same. Laura Pintur, 23, from activist group Collective Shout, accumulated 40,000 signatures calling on the supermarket heavyweights to remove the lads’ magazine, which is littered with photos of busty bikini-clad women, from stands. “I have seen and experienced first-hand the detrimental costs of what this magazine endorses, not only in my life but the lives of other young people,” Ms Pintur said.

“Magazines like Zoo promote attitudes that lead to violence against women.”

A very kiwi kiwi The likeness of a kiwi in the middle of a kiwifruit caught the eye of Te Puke High School teacher Dave Valentine. “My elderly mum has at least two to three kiwifruit daily for health benefits, as is or in smoothies,” said Mr Valentine. “When her carer cut one open on Saturday she was amazed to see this image of a kiwi in the middle of the fruit.” His mother said the fruit had been eaten. In 2009, a Stoke couple showed the Nelson Mail a kiwifruit with the triangular shape of the Buy New Zealand Made logo.

A Zespri innovation leader Bryan Parkes said at the time odd-shaped cores in kiwifruit did pop up occasionally. “I’ve seen a core that looked very much like the shape of New Zealand, so they do vary, but they’re generally round. It’s a natural variability of the fruit, so we’re not aware that it’s genetically inherited. Otherwise, we could breed them with the shape of a Z for Zespri inside.”

Safety first Residents of the remote Arctic settlement of Ny-Alesund never lock their homes – happy to sacrifice privacy for the option of barging through the nearest door if a polar bear attacks. The research centre, formerly a coal mining town, is perched on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, which is also home to a sizeable polar bear community in one of the most extreme landscapes on Earth. The northernmost permanent human settlement, Ny-Alesund hosts about 150 scientists, researchers and technicians during the Arctic summer, dwindling to a handful of caretakers in the colder months. New arrivals are swiftly initiated into the dos and don’ts of life in close quarters with a formidable predator.

“If you see a bear, just enter any building and call the caretaker. His number is marked on every telephone,” Katherin Lang, head of the Franco-German Awipev institute – one of several research bases – tells newcomers.

■ SPECIAL EDUCATION

Principals call for overhaul

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury principals are calling for a complete overhaul of the special education system to stop at-risk pupils from falling through the cracks.

A government inquiry into special education was announced this week by Parliament’s Education and Science Committee.

It could change the way schools are equipped to support thousands of children with learning difficulties, as the review will cover a broad range of areas within the system.

However for local principals, the main point of contention is their long-running battle for increased funding.

Mid Canterbury Principals Association president Chris Murphy said the association would likely make a submission on the issue, which many local principals have long been vocal about.

“It is a big issue, and it deserves the credence that the government is giving it now,” he said.

Extra funding to identify and meet the needs of children with learning difficulties was the top priority, he said.

However it was vital that the funding was on top of their usual allocation, and not pulled from another area.

“It can’t be extra resourcing that is pinched and pulled from somewhere else,” he said.

For Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose, schools would always be “patching things together” until funding was boosted.

“They can inquire all they like, but until there’s some action there won’t be any change,” he said.

“The powers that be already have that information, they know what the issues are.”

Increased funding for teacher aide time and specialist time, as well as increasing the range of students who could access those services, were all on his wish list.

“Proving that they are worthy of additional funding is a hard road,” he said.

The select committee inquiry was prompted by both a briefing from the Ministry of Education and a request from the Green Party.

Committee chair and National MP Dr Jian Yang said it was an important issue for a large number of New Zealanders, as

dyslexia alone affected up to 70,000 school children nationwide.

The inquiry will cover screening in schools, best educational practice, and why the uptake of

assistance was much higher at schools that drew students from wealthier communities.

Methven hot pools action starts to heat up From P1 Methven Hot Pools (MHC) Holdings Limited, of which Grow Mid Canterbury Limited and Methven businessman David Dynes are the largest shareholders, reported earlier this year it had secured the land with a sales and purchase agreement, subject to resource consent.

Shareholdings of $350,000 are needed to fund the resource consent process and this is close to being achieved.

Mr Brawley told board members that fee estimates were being sought from the technical and professional experts who would help with obtaining planning permission.

The project will be built in stages, with stage one estimated to come with a price tag in excess of $7.5 million.

Additional stages will be added as demand grows. The complex is proposed to have three areas – spa treatment, family and adults only.

The attraction’s promoters

believe it will be as significant to the district’s economy as Mt Hutt was in its early days.

Board chairwoman Liz McMillan said she believed the site was a good one.

It was close to town and was in the direction the town was growing.

The latter was the location of two failed attempts to drill for hot spring water, undertaken by the land’s owners.

■ NEWCOMERS’ NETWORK

Movie night planned as an informal get-together By caitliN Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

Grab the popcorn and the fizzy, the Newcomers’ Network is hosting its first movie night.

Network co-ordinator Louise Glennon said she wanted to host a fun event to bring the newcomers in the district together.

“Not everyone is able to come along to Settling In meetings … so I wanted to try and do something informal,” she said.

“There’s the option to grab a drink or a bite to eat beforehand.”

The movie – A Walk in the Woods – will be screened at Ashburton’s Regent Cinema on September 9 and is open to the public.

The light-hearted tale is based on the 1998 memoir of best-selling American author, Bill Bryson.

Mrs Glennon said if the get-together was a hit, it could turn into a month-

m

ly event. For people unable to attend the movie this month’s Setting In meeting – with a performance by a Cook Island dancing group – is being held next Friday at the Ashburton RSA from 7pm.

Also on the cards is a multi-cultural get together with community group leaders set to be held next month.

Mrs Glennon said she wanted to meet up with people from different cultures interested in being involved with the newcomers group.

“I think it’d be good, to get them networking and bring the communities together,” Mrs Glennon said.

Anyone interested in any newcomers’ events can contact Mrs Glennon at Safer Ashburton.

■ ASHBURTON RSA

Club thriving while many are failing

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s RSA is thriving at a time when many of its counterparts around New Zealand are looking at a grim future.

Some are close to folding; others are looking at a future that involves amalgamation with another club in their area, but Ashburton is swimming against the tide, president Maurice Baker says.

He’s not sure why, but he admits keeping the club sailing through increasingly tough waters is not always easy.

Timaru’s RSA is struggling but its members have voted against an option of amalgamation with the Timaru Town and Country Club.

It now has an uncertain future with members claiming it no longer has enough money in the kitty to even shut the doors and pay its debts.

Survival for Ashburton meant gaining new members, taking a long, hard look at expenses and generally running a smarter business, Mr Baker said.

“We’ve had to look at all avenues at how we can make ends meet. It hasn’t been easy but we actively encourage new members and we do get more each month.

“Anyone can join, we’re very strong on that and I think people see us now as another social club option.”

The Ashburton RSA was a smaller cousin to the giant

membership Ashburton MSA, but in many ways its strength was that it offered a smaller, more intimate club option, Mr Baker said.

If amalgamation ever came on the radar, the MSA would be a logical option but that was

definitely not on anyone’s radar, he said.

“That’s not where we’d want or need to go. We’re working through a lot of systems at the moment, but we’re getting there. I guess we’re all a bit like Timaru though in that we’re as-

set proud and cash poor.”

Like any other club, the RSA relied on membership fees to keep it in business as apart from bar and meals sales it had no other source of income. Its welfare work is funded through annual Anzac poppy day sales.

■ ASHBURTON WINZ SHOOTINGS

Tragedy initiates rethink

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Out of the tragedy of Ashburton’s Winz shootings has come a raft of new security measures to create a safer working environment for New Zealand’s Winz staff says associate social welfare minister Jo Goodhew.

In September last year Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland were killed and another woman was injured when they were shot in the Ashburton Winz office. Russell John Tully, 49, is facing charges in relation to the shootings.

That event was a wake-up call for New Zealand to ensure staff working in risk situations had a raft of new security

measures put in place to ensure their safety, Mrs Goodhew said.

“You have to use something like this tragedy to find a way to have something positive come out of it. We’ve now taken a tough line on abusive and violent behaviour and we’ve put in place a lot more security staff.”

Since the Ashburton attack an extra 250 security staff have been placed in Winz offices around New Zealand and staff have undertaken wide ranging training in both reacting to violent incidents and in proactively ensuring their safety.

Dealing with conflict, simu-

lated incidents where staff have been put in lock-down and ensuring that offices are laid out in a way that allows easy exit have all been part of their safety training.

“The feedback we’re getting from staff is that this has helped them feel a lot safer. It’s given them confidence and a sense of knowing what to do,” Mrs Goodhew said.

“They go to work to do their level best to do their job and they expect to go home safely at night again.”

The ministry had also adopted a zero tolerance approach to any clients displaying abusive or threatening behaviour.

“There are no second chanc-

es. It’s not only staff, it’s other clients we have to protect too,” she said.

The Ashburton tragedy had unfortunately sparked a rash of copy-cat incidents around New Zealand resulting in an upsurge in the number of trespass notices being issued.

Over the past two years 550 people have been trespassed from Winz offices.

The drive to improve safety and security would continue, Mrs Goodhew said.

“There’s always more we can do and with this approach in mind, we’ll continue to look for ways to give people working in and coming into Work and Income additional security.”

■ ST VINCENT DE PAUL ASHBURTON

Enforced halt called to demolition work

By CaitliN Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

The demolition of the earthquake damaged St Vincent de Paul building has come to an abrupt halt.

The building, located in the Triangle, was set to be demolished this month but all demolition work is now on hold.

The St Vincent de Paul society bade farewell to its old premises in the Triangle last month, and headed off to its temporary premises in the Ashburton Learning Centre.

Project manager Ray Knight said some demolition had already begun on the old blue building – the roof is now gone – but issues with a neighbouring property has ceased all other work.

“The wall on their property is under review because of the age of the property and the nature of the brick wall,” he said.

Engineers were on site earlier this week to examine the wall, but Mr Knight does not know when work will resume.

“Could take a week, could take a fortnight, could take

New toilet block Taking a toilet break at the Hinds Domain will get a whole lot more comfortable shortly with work on a new toilet block about to get under way. The Ashburton District Council, Hinds Reserve Board and Hinds Citizens Association have been working together for several months to identify the right location for the facilities.

A site near the domain entrance has been chosen. The new toilets will be accessible to the travelling public. The new facilities will be completed before the end of the year and when they are completed the old toilets by the rugby clubrooms and the rifle range will be removed. At the same time as the toilet facility is built, the council will upgrade the domain’s water reticulation system.

Kohu in court The man who sparked a police manhunt in the central North Island appeared in court yesterday as police arrested a seventh person over the incident. Dolphy Kohu, 22, appeared to have cuts to his forehead and a black eye when he appeared in Whanganui District Court yesterday. Kohu faces four charges, including the attempted murder of a police sergeant during the incident on Wednesday morning, and knowingly using a firearm against police. He also faces a charge of dishonestly taking a police car and another of dishonestly taking a Ford. Dolphy Kohu was remanded in custody until September 9. The others were bailed to central North Island addresses until the same date.

Irish builder comments cause outcry

By BreNdaN maNNiNg

In brief

ings of a Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) quake repair survey.

The survey of around 100 Canterbury homes found 32 had foundation repairs that did not meet Building Act standards.

An additional 23 homes were assessed as having minor repair defects.

Mr Darlow said the affected properties would be brought up to standard by the contrac-

tor at no cost to the homeowner or the Earthquake Commission.

“There may be a few that we can’t find the contractor, maybe they’ve gone out of business, maybe they’ve gone back to Ireland, and for those Fletcher will be fronting for the cost of that repair.”

His comments quickly attracted disbelief amongst the Irish community both in New Zealand and in Ireland and

were reported in the Irish Mirror and Irish news website thejournal.ie.

In a since removed post on the Irish People in New Zealand Facebook page Lisa Tipping wrote that as a Kiwi married to an Irishman, “I am utterly appalled at the comment”.

Mr Darlow has since apologised if his comments were misinterpreted as being critical of Irish builders.

Cheating scandal Cunning Kiwi cheaters could escape being unmasked through the Ashley Madison scandal after signing up with anonymous gift cards. More than 22,000 New Zealanders have had personal details included in the giant file of 36 million users of the adultery site that was leaked online by hackers on Wednesday.

Among the alleged Kiwi clients are 32 email accounts linked to government agencies, including a fake email address for Prime Minister John Key. There were 82 email addresses linked to schools, including one for a principal, and another seven addresses from the New Zealand Defence Force.

However, Ashley Madison’s sign-up process does not require email account verification. New Zealand IT security consultant and fraud investigator Daniel Ayers has reviewed the data and warned spouses and employers to avoid jumping to conclusions.

■ ASHBURTON SLA

Leadership team confirmed

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

The membership of the Ashburton Service Level Alliance (SLA) has now been confirmed.

The SLA is part of the Canterbury Clinical Network (CCN) and is a type of integrated health alliance.

It consists of health care providers, leaders and professionals from around the district who work together to guide the transformation of local healthcare services.

The members of the Ashburton SLA include representatives from general practice teams, community service providers, Ashburton Hospital, the council and consumer groups.

Clinical network facilitator Craig Watson said nominations for membership were strong, especially from the community and secondary nursing perspectives.

Nominations were called for last month and were reviewed by a panel of CCN alliance leadership team members.

“The selection panel had the challenging task of bringing as many perspectives to the membership while keeping the membership to a meaningful level for decision making,” Mr Watson said.

Next week the members will come together for the inaugural Ashburton SLA meeting. The role of the SLA within the community will be discussed, and the review and approval of a draft terms of reference will also take place.

“It’s also an opportunity to begin a process of considering the key themes from the previous workshop and consolidating them into a meaningful work-plan for the next 12 months,” Mr Watson said.

Bill Eschenbach of the Rural Canterbury Primary Health Organisation and Craig Watson (Canterbury Clinical Network facilitator) will provide support for the SLA. There is still a vacancy for a practice nurse, and once appointed the Ashburton Health services manager will also join the team.

Cathedral robbed Cash donations, computer hardware and chalices have been stolen from Auckland’s Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell. Footage from the cathedral’s security system shows a man enter the building and wrench open a secure donation box to remove money after a service, the cathedral’s dean Reverend Jo Kelly-Moore said.

Computer hardware and chalices used for communion were nabbed the same day. Ms Kelly-Moore said the doors of the building were kept open for the community – and the recent theft was an abuse of the situation.

The Department of Conservation confirmed yesterday that volunteers from the Deerstalkers Association had shot four takahe while carrying out a cull of 600 pukeko on Motutapu Island, which is a protected, pestfree haven for endangered bird species. The embarrassing mistake has angered iwi who approved the transfer of the rare birds to the sanctuary.

By nikki PaPatSoumaS A man wanted over a parole breach underwent surgery last night after he was shot by police in Motueka yesterday afternoon.

Ford William Hurinui, 27, is in a critical condition after the confrontation with police on a residential street yesterday afternoon.

Police last night said they were seeking a second man who was believed to have been in the vehicle with Hurinui. They have called on him to contact police.

At a press conference in Wellington last evening, Tasman District Commander Superintendent Karyn Malthus said police were alerted that Hurinui, who was wanted for breaching his parole conditions, was seen driving in Motueka, near Nelson, earlier yesterday.

Police found the vehicle about 3.30pm but the driver failed to stop.

A “short pursuit” ensued through residential streets of Motueka before coming to an end on a no-exit road, Wharepapa Grove.

Police allege Hurinui got out and aimed a gun at police officers, who attempted to negotiate with him.

He then attempted to flee on foot, but was pursued.

Ms Malthus said police called on the man to surrender, but he failed to do so and once again aimed a gun at police. “He was then shot.

Ambulance was close by and medical attention was provided very quickly.” - NZME

■ BIG LITTLE THEATRE COMPANY

‘Not your typical feel-good story’

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.Co.nz

Big Little Theatre Company senior members are rising to the challenge of bringing a dramatic and heart-rending tale to the stage.

They are rehearsing Blood Brothers, set to open at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on September 17 to 19.

Director Jackie Heffernan said the play was not “your typical feel-good story”.

“But it’s hard to think that anyone wouldn’t be touched by

it,” Mrs Heffernan said.

Written by British dramatist Willy Russell, Blood Brothers is the story of twin boys born to a single mother, who is forced to illegally adopt out one of them to make ends meet.

They later meet as children, take a blood brothers vow, and then meet again as teenagers.

“How their lives unravel will be played out with great poignancy by these youngsters by the time we’ve finished,” Mrs Heffernan said.

The story is set in Liverpool

and peppered with Scouse humour. Its ending is in the prologue, making the play moreso about character, motivation and ideas “An actor’s, and this director’s, dream,” Mrs Heffernan explained, “and the reason why we had to tackle it”.

“It may not be the traditional feel-good story a young repertory company might be expected to do, but I hope that they, and our audience will feel their life has been touched by this work.”

Speed limits of 110km/h could be on the way. Associate Transport Minister Craig Foss has revealed the Government was still considering increasing the speed limits on certain roads. “There are potentially some roads – very high-class, Roads of National Significance – where that is possible,” Mr Foss said. “We are doing a bit of work in that space at the moment, no final decisions yet.

Mr Foss made his comments after being asked about an Automobile Association report that found a majority of its members wanted an increase in the open road speed limit on top-rated motorways to 11 0km/h.

Taxi man defiant A Timaru man says he will continue to pick his mates up from the pub and drop them home – despite being forbidden to do so by police.

Karl Anglem said he was always happy to offer family and friends a ride home from the pub if they had had too much to drink, as he does not drink himself. However, his actions have landed him in hot water with a local taxi company which has reported him to police, claiming he is acting illegally.

Police have issued Mr Anglem with an official notice which prevents him from operating an unlicensed transport service.

Thailand’s military junta has announced that this week’s deadly bombing in downtown Bangkok that killed 20 people was “unlikely” to have been carried out by international terrorists.

Police, meanwhile, said they suspected the plot was well-planned by a network of at least 10 people.

But three days after the attack at a revered shrine in central Bangkok, authorities appeared to have few solid leads into who carried out the deadliest attack in Thailand’s recent history.

Confusing statements emerged yesterday, with the military spokesman saying in a televised statement that investigators believe the attack wasn’t the work of international terrorists – a day

after police issued an arrest warrant for the prime suspect who was described as a “foreign man”.

“Security agencies have collaborated with intelligence agencies from allied countries and have come to the same preliminary conclusion that the incident is unlikely to be linked to international terrorism,” said Col. Winthai Suvaree, the military spokesman.

But when contacted for clarification, he said that a link to global terrorism hadn’t been ruled out. “We still have to investigate in more detail,” he said.

Winthai also said on television that Chinese tourists, who were among the victims, were not the “direct target.” He did not elaborate.

Rivals trade artillery fire at border South Korea’s military fired dozens of shells yesterday at rival North Korea after the North lobbed a single artillery round at a South Korean border town, the South’s Defence Ministry said.

The ministry said in a statement that its artillery landed at the place where North Korea had fired its shell. There were no other immediate details from the military, but it appeared that North Korea did not respond to South Korea’s returned fire.

About 80 residents in the South Korean town where the shell fell, Yeoncheon, were evacuated to underground bunkers, and authorities urged other residents to evacuate, a Yeoncheon official said. He said there were no reports of injuries or damage in Yeoncheon.

In the nearby border city of Paju, residents were asked to stay home, officials said.

North Korea had previously threatened to attack South Korean loudspeakers that have been broadcasting, for the first time in 11 years, anti-Pyongyang propaganda messages across their shared border. Pyongyang also restarted its own loudspeakers.

The cross-border propaganda warfare followed accusations from Seoul that Pyongyang had planted land mines on the South Korean side of the Demilitarised Zone. - AP

In brief Jihadis stopped twice Five young men have become the largest single group of suspected jihadis to attempt to leave Australia for Syria and Iraq.

But they were stopped twice on consecutive days last week by counter-terrorism officials at Sydney International Airport, a minister said yesterday. Officials believe the group is connected to another two men, in their late 20s and early 30s, who attempted to fly from the same airport on consecutive days at the weekend but were prevented on suspicion that they were would-be foreign fighters, Border Protection Minister Peter Dutton said.

Greece gets money Greece received the first 13 billioneuro payment of its new bailout yesterday, with 12 billion euros earmarked for repaying debts and the remainder for settling arrears to public sector suppliers. Athens was using the funds to repay a 3.2 billion euro debt installment due to the European Central Bank. Without the rescue loans — Greece’s third bailout in little more than five years — the country would have defaulted on its debts and faced being forced out of the eurozone. The new three-year bailout is worth 86 billion euros.

Around $110 billion will be spent by central and local government on infrastructure over the next 10 years – but more money will be needed from userpays and other charges, Finance Minister Bill English says.

The Government has also announced it will develop national data standards for roads, water and buildings, which it hopes will avoid a “silo” approach to expensive new projects.

“Centres of excellence” will be established with people who can help government departments and councils with the analysis and presentation of data.

“Expensive and long-lived infrastructure assets won’t deliver the right results if planning occurs in silos,” Mr English said in a speech unveiling the 2015

Bill English

National Infrastructure plan at the New Zealand Council for Infrastructure (NZCID) symposium in Christchurch yesterday morning.

The plan contains 145 initiatives which are designed to help the country cope with ageing infrastructure and increasing pressures from a growing population, much of which will occur north of Taupo.

Mr English said there would need to be an increased focus on “non-asset solutions”, such as charging those who have a strong demand for the use of infrastructure.

“This isn’t a new idea. Taxes on fuel to pay for the National Land Transport Fund mean we already use demand management tools in roading.

“And all councils meter large water consumers. New technology will offer greater opportunities for managing demand for infrastructure assets over the

major trading partners following the auction.

Reporting season is well and truly under way both here and across the Tasman with a number of market heavyweights reporting this week. Meridian Energy had a stand-out result, lifting annual earnings by 5.6 per cent and beating prospectus forecasts.

Sydney Airport also had a strong result, reporting a 6.4 per cent rise in half-year earnings.

The company raised guidance for its full-year dividend reflecting management’s confidence in the airport’s ability to maintain strong cash flows.

Seek also reported this week and, unfortunately for the online job searcher, it wasn’t good news. Despite delivering a strong lift in full-year earnings, guidance for the coming years was reduced as the company looks to aggressively invest in growth opportunities. The downgraded guidance was not received well by investors and the share price reflected this, falling more than 10 per cent in the day’s trading before recovering somewhat.

again after its dramatic change to the valuation of the yuan last week. Earlier in the week the currency looked to stabilise as the People’s Bank of China used its foreign exchange reserves to limit the fall. There has also been plenty of volatility in the sharemarket which has led to further government intervention.

The world’s second largest economy is continuing to face slowing growth with the Commerce Ministry reiterating that exports could continue to fall in coming months despite the lower currency. The threat of deflation has also become a concern to the country as its official growth target of 7 per cent looks unattainable.

It has been a mixed week in the US with economic releases showing both positive and negative sides for the economy and adding to the uncertainty of when rate hikes will happen.

The release of the latest minutes from the Federal Reserve committee meeting shed a little light on when rate hikes might be expected.

The minutes illustrated that conditions for a rate increase are approaching though had not yet been achieved.

It’s reporting season in Aust, NZ here has been plenty for local investors to digest this week as the August reporting season in Australia and New Zealand hit its stride.

The latest Global Dairy Trade auction was held this week and broke a 10-auction losing streak with the average price increasing 14.8 per cent.

Overseas, eyes continued to be on the Chinese yuan after its devaluation last week. There was also plenty of economic data from the US including the minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting.

The latest Global Dairy Trade Auction showed a strong rebound in prices this week, with the index rising 14.8 per cent.

The past 10 auctions have seen the index fall to its lowest level since 2009, however this turnaround raised hopes that prices may have finally turned a corner. Whole milk powder, the most important product offering, gained 19.1 per cent with an average selling price of $US1856 a tonne.

The rise was expected by markets after Fonterra announced late last week that they would be significantly decreasing the volume of dairy products for sale. Dairy futures indicate that there are potentially more price rises to come with futures contracts from November to February showing double digit growth. The New Zealand dollar strengthened against its

next 30 years.”

Mr English said that such charges should not be used without considering benefits to improved infrastructure, such as increased productivity or wellbeing.

“And charges for infrastructure use should never be used simply to raise revenue.”

A key focus of today’s plan is the need to renew ageing networks of existing infrastructure, Mr English said. That included schools, which have an average age of 42 years.

The Ministry of Education has recently surveyed all of the country’s state and state-integrated schools and found them to be in poorer condition than thought.

Jetstar, the discount unit of Australia’s Qantas Airways, achieved its first underlying profit in New Zealand after boosting passenger numbers and ramping up competition with dominant carrier Air New Zealand.

Qantas’s Jetstar Group reported earnings before interest and tax profit of $A230 million in the year ended June 30, turning from a year earlier loss of $A116 million, the Sydney-based airline said in a statement. Qantas didn’t break out earnings for Jetstar’s New Zealand unit, but said operations were profitable for the first time.

The Australian airline has increased rivalry with Air New Zealand by forging a closer alliance with American Airlines, adding thousands of extra seats to its trans-Tasman services in early spring and plans to extend its New Zealand domestic services to four regional destinations in December.

OUR VIEW

I am now a flu-jab convert Stu Oldham

EDITOR

I

’m no immunisation campaigner – my opinion doesn’t mean much relative to good science and common-sense – but I reckon people who don’t get the jab need their heads read.

I’ve had nearly a fortnight thoroughly immersed in all things influenza and, on the eve of another day unable to taste my breakfast or discretely blow my nose, I’ve got an announcement to make.

I was wrong not to get immunised against the flu. I was wrong to think four flu-free years meant I was immune and wrong to think not getting the jab was some big-boy mark of pride.

There’s no pride in sweatsoaked bedsheets and clammy pyjamas, and no humanity in a floor covered in snotty tissues thrown by a man too lethargic to walk three paces to the bathroom.

It was a dreadful and frankly embarrassing time of debilitation and abject misery, and it was all down to an adult not being adult enough to spend five minutes with a health professional.

This year, the Guardian published stories publicising the flu jabs that are subsidised by many employers or that are free for people with some medical conditions, the young and the aged.

Each time, a health professional warned the flu is nasty and long-lasting and that those who fall ill might recover, but that susceptible, weak or unwell people around them might struggle.

That was not enough for me, or for the many of the unclean who contracted and passed on germs in a flu season that saw an increasingly busy local medical centre triage patients over the phone.

I got my flu (though not the accompanying sinus infection) from someone else – and I know who – but my inaction meant I became part of a chain that might do someone some damage.

That – and six days without pay and the state of daytime television – means I will get the flu jab next year. I hope I’m in the middle of a very long queue.

YOUR VIEW Library technology What is happening to our library?

I have been a reader for over 30 years and up until now I have been happy with the library and librarians.

Recently all the librarians can talk about is email addresses, apps for a mobile telephone and books I can read on my computer. None of these are any use to me as I don’t own a computer or mobile phone and don’t intend to. If I ask any of them about books they just look blank.

I accepted all of this, realising I wasn’t keeping up with new technology, but the last straw was discovering I can no longer sit with my friends and read the national newspapers.

Please don’t ignore the needs of your older users in this mad rush to embrace new technology.

he past week or two have been full of warm fuzzies for me (I hope none of the lads from golf read that).

In my column a couple of weeks ago I highlighted a letter I had received from a listener about random acts of kindness.

She told me about the buzz she gets from paying for someone’s coffee at a café and other similar acts she does anonymously.

The team at Hokonui thought it was an awesome idea and came up with a radio promo, as you do.

So with the help of some very cool local businesses we have been hitting the streets of Ashburton dishing out some random acts of kindness goodies like flowers, lollies and hampers.

So far Carol (the RAOK deliverer) has received 47 “OMGs”, 22 “that’s made my days” and two big cuddles!

So keep an eye out for Carol in the Farming Show truck and it could be you on the receiving end of a RAOK and you could maybe consider paying it forward.

It doesn’t have to be expensive, there’s no set price on a warm fuzzy (add that to the list of things I hope the lads don’t read).

On the back of the Guardian story about the foodbank shelves getting close to empty due to the cold winter I thought I’d hold a few auctions for food on my Facebook page.

As you can see by the photo, the response was super and not just from those people bidding, but also the local businesses that all of a sudden got in touch with me, offering vouchers and goods to auction.

Mid Canterbury is good like that eh?

So humble

W

ell you couldn’t really describe this as a warm fuzzy, but

I couldn’t help but grin with pride watching Sky Sports Sumo Stevenson interview Ritchie McCaw after that awesome Bledisloe Cup win on Saturday night. He is so humble!

I loved the passion in his voice when he talked about pride in the jersey.

Is there anything that bloke can’t do? I mean Ritchie not Sumo.

The BEST rugby player of all time, pilot and all-round good fella too. I have had the pleasure of interviewing him

a couple of times and he has always been accommodating and pleasant to deal with.

Peter Mac told me that when Ritchie came to Ashburton to have a fly of the DC3 we had based here, he blew the pilot away with his skills when he took control of the plane.

I really hope the All Blacks are the first side to win backto-back World Cups, it would be another record that Ritchie could add to his collection and maybe a fitting swansong?

It will be interesting to see

what he does do after he finally decides it’s time to hang up the boots.

I’m guessing he won’t be short of options.

Frosty eyes V8 title

BY ROJE ADAIMY Few V8 Supercars rounds are more important to Ford’s Mark Winterbottom than Sydney Motorsport Park - this season, especially.

Apart from it being his home track, it’s the last event before the three-race endurance series and a chance to consolidate his 256-point championship lead over Holden rival Craig Lowndes.

He’s already achieved a personal best in 2015 with eight wins.

His previous mark was seven in 2008 - the same year he scored his first and last victory at Eastern Creek, not far from where he grew up in Doonside.

“It’s a track that hasn’t really been kind to me,” the Prodrive Racing Australia star told AAP. “We’ve had podiums and we’ve had shockers, so it’s been hit and miss.

“But when you’ve got a good car, you go in confident; you don’t really look at history too much.

“It’s an important round for me and I think our car’s going to be really strong.

“I can’t wait.”

This season is shaping as the 2013 Bathurst winner’s best shot at the winning his first V8s title after a decade of attempts.

The man who’s dominated the past five years, Holden’s Jamie Whincup, is languishing in seventh on the driver’s standings and 480 points behind.

Fourteen races have passed without the record six-time champion winning a race - a

This year marks 25 years since SMSP, originally known as Eastern Creek International Raceway, opened, and the 20th time its hosted a touring car championship round.

Nine different drivers have won the last 10 races there - all bar one (Mark Skaife) will be competing this weekend.

Holden is just one away from becoming the first manufacturer to score 300 pole positions in Australian touring car/V8 Supercars championship history.

Just three of the last 13 races at the track have been won by polesitters.

Female Bathurst team Swiss driver Simona De Silvestro will team up with Australian rising star Renee Gracie in an all-female team for this year’s Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercars endurance race.

De Silvestro, considered one the world’s leading female drivers, will join Gracie in the first allwomen pairing to tackle Mount Panorama since Melinda Price and Kerryn Brewer in 1998. The 26-year-old raced four full seasons of America’s IndyCar series as well as this year’s Indianapolis 500, where she came 19th in an Andretti Autosport-backed entry.

Smoke on the water Yachting commentator Peter Montgomery has lifted the lid on his legendary feud with Team New Zealand chief executive Grant Dalton. In a biography Montgomery reveals that Dalton “tried to break me and take me out”. The start of the stand-off is believed to have started during the 1993-94 Whitbread Round the World race.

More Kyrgios fallout

Mark Winterbottom: Best chance ever to win a V8 championship.

streak not seen since 2007 before he won his first title.

His team-mate Lowndes, though, appears to be Winterbottom’s biggest threat, having defied Red Bull Racing’s apparent woes to remain a consistent challenge up front.

Fellow PRA drivers Chaz Mostert and David Reynolds are also in contention, sitting third and fourth in the championship race.

Five-time champion now commentator Mark Skaife de-

clared earlier this month that if Winterbottom doesn’t win this year, he never will.

But it’s not the kind of talk the 31-year-old wants to hear.

“He says that every year, I try not to listen to what he says too much,” he said.

“I’m not really feeling the pressure, I’m actually enjoying it because when you’ve got a good car and you’re getting results, it’s a lot more enjoyable than scratching your head.

“But I’m not going to give

up until I win one.”

Winterbottom labelled SMSP a “strange place”, given the variability in temperature across the weekend.

“It’s really temperamental and probably one of the most difficult places to get right,” he said.

“You could win one race and be 10th or 15th the next, it’s just one of those places.

“So keep an eye on everyone.”

Opening practice begins at 10.10am on Friday.

NZF future could hinge on eligibility appeal The outcome of New Zealand Football’s eligibility appeal next week could have repercussions that spread much wider than the Oly Whites’ Rio campaign.

New Zealand Football has been asked by the Oceania Football Confederation to prove the eligibility of four players born outside of New Zealand who helped the New Zealand under-17 team win their World Cup qualifying tournament in American Samoa this year.

But NZF have asked OFC to wait and deal with the fresh enquiry after the Olympic appeal, which takes place early next week.

“NZF have not turned down

Ashburton Guardian 17

a request from OFC to provide information,” a NZF spokesman said.

“NZF have sought clarification from OFC as to the background of the request and have advised that this matter should await the outcome of the current appeal before being considered further.

“NZF are corresponding further with OFC on this matter.”

The whole saga rests on the result of the Deklan Wynne eligibility appeal.

If New Zealand Football can overturn the original decision on grounds of eligibility - then it’s possible that overseas-born players all across New Zealand Football’s spectrum will also

be safe. But if OFC’s decision stands, there could be dark clouds lurking for New Zealand Football.

Last month the Herald reported it had uncovered 16 players who appeared to fall short of the traditional interpretation of Fifa’s eligibility rules and an investigation into the under-17s could potentially just be the tip of the iceberg.

The Herald understands that NZF has recently requested a number of exemptions from Fifa for players across a range of age groups.

“Pending the outcome of the appeal we are taking a conservative view, and are in discussions with FIFA,” a spokesman said.

Five weeks ago Oceania Football Confederation started investigating a complaint from one of its member associations that New Zealand used ineligible players to win their under-17 World Cup qualifying tournament.

If New Zealand lose the Deklan Wynne appeal they will have one last option in their fight to rescue the Olympic campaign - the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland.

But if New Zealand lose next week, the drums will beat louder for OFC to investigate further eligibility breaches and impose punishments on any wrong-doing.

Stan Wawrinka has put the heat back on Australian bad boy Nick Kyrgios, accusing him of failing to properly apologise for his lurid outburst towards the Swiss star in Montreal. Kyrgios made worldwide headlines last week after crude remarks concerning Wawrinka’s reported girlfriend, teenager Donna Vekic, during a match against the Swiss ace in Montreal. Kyrgios apologised on social media, but Wawrinka said Kyrgios’s apology didn’t go far enough. Vekic said: “I haven’t spoken to Kyrgios. But it’s a very disappointing thing to be happening in our sport and I hope it won’t happen again because it’s not a very good image for our sport.”

Pedro joins Chelsea English Premier League champions Chelsea have pipped Manchester United to the signing of Spanish winger Pedro Rodriguez from Barcelona, according to British press reports. The BBC reported Chelsea had agreed to a fee of STG21 million with the reigning European champions and that the 28-yearold was on a flight to London to finalise the terms of the transfer. If completed, the deal would bring an end to a summer-long transfer saga surrounding Pedro, who had been linked to Manchester City as well as United.

Top debut for Depay Memphis Depay announced himself to Old Trafford with two stylish goals as Manchester United came from behind to beat Club Brugge 3-1 in yesterday’s Champions League play-off first leg. Bidding to reach the group phase after a first season out of the competition in 19 years, United fell behind to an early Michael Carrick own goal, only for Depay to turn the game around before half-time with a pair of brilliant strikes. Brandon Mechele was sent off for the visitors in the second half, but it was not until stoppage time, when substitute Marouane Fellaini converted a cross from Depay, that Louis van Gaal’s side took control of the tie, which concludes in Bruges next week. - APF

McFadden ‘baffled’ Warriors coach Andrew McFadden remains baffled and frustrated by the shoulder charge laws and doubts the NRL are any closer to solving the problem with any clarity. Grade one charges against Rabbitohs hooker Issac Luke, Sydney Rooster Aidan Guerra and Manly’s Jorge Taufua were all quickly dismissed at the NRL judiciary on Wednesday, making a mockery of the NRL’s recent crackdown on the shoulder charge. Last week the Warriors expressed frustration after Ben Matulino was suspended for three matches for a grade two shoulder charge on Gareth Widdop. McFadden was unhappy with the inconsistencies in shoulder charge rulings, and believes the situation is a long way from being resolved.

Windhorst India-bound

By James Ford

James.F@theguardian.co.nz

Jessica Windhorst will be jetting to New Delhi, India to represent New Zealand at the Commonwealth Karate Championships in September, before representing England at the World Goju-Ryu Karate Championships in Auckland in November.

The Ashburton College student trains in Shotokan karate, which along with Goju-Ryu,

are the two most popular styles.

At the Commonwealth championships in September, the Ashburton College student will compete in the 14-15 year cadet female Kata division and the cadet female 54kg Kumite division for New Zealand.

The 15-year-old dual national was selected to represent New Zealand at the Commonwealth champs in April, but is also eligible to represent England through her mother, Jacqui.

President of Oceania GojuRyu Federation and Vice-President of the World Goju-Ryu Federation Dennis May suggested Windhorst represent England at the World GojuRyu Karate Championships in Auckland after the three New Zealand places were already filled.

The karate starlet said she is looking forward to her trip to India, and representing New Zealand and England but in-

sisted her aim is to represent Aotearoa as a senior.

“I feel very lucky and honoured to represent New Zealand.

“I’m looking forward to visiting the Taj Mahal and experiencing the other cultures,” she said.

“I’d like to go to the open worlds and get a medal in the senior division and if karate goes to the Olympics I’d like to go there and compete.”

Sydney loss will linger long, says McCaw Remember Sydney! That could be the catch-cry of the All Blacks as they prepare for the World Cup in England and Wales next month.

The ITM Cup season will be the first time that Donald has played in New Zealand since the victorious 2011 Rugby World Cup final. Donald, who is Waikato’s fifth highest all-time points scorer, played 57 games for the province between 2004 and 2011 and is delighted to be able to contribute once more.

World Cup ‘pinnacle’

■ RUGBY

By dylan Cleaver

The Warriors will have the services of Bodene Thompson for their final home match of the season against the North Queensland Cowboys this weekend. The second rower has recovered from the ankle injury which ruled him out of the last three Warriors clashes, while Sione Lousi has also been recalled from the New South Wales Cup side.

The 25-year-old Lousi has been named as a starting second rower for his fifth NRL appearance this year and the 47th of his career while Thompson, who played in each of the first 18 games of the campaign, is on the bench. The match could be a stern task for the Warriors against the third-placed Cowboys, with the hosts seeking to snap a run of five straight losses.

lingers longer in the memory banks: used as a timely reminder that when it comes to World Cup knockouts, you’re only as good as your worst performance.

“Unfortunately, to really remind you of what it takes to win each game, an experience like [Sydney] certainly sorts that out,” All Black captain Richie McCaw said. “If we have an off day at the World Cup, we’ll be on the plane.”

In that respect, he is echoing

coach Steve Hansen, who also stopped some way short of crowing after the retention of the Bledisloe Cup. “If you’re good enough to win your pool or come second [at the World Cup], you get one more and that’s it.

“That was the lesson in 2007,” he said, casting back to the Cardiff debacle against France, which followed four ludicrously easy pool matches.

The Eden Park victory was widely expected.

The All Blacks haven’t lost on the ground since 1994, haven’t lost to Australia there since 1986 and were farewelling, from New Zealand shores McCaw, Ma’a Nonu, Conrad Smith, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock and Dan Carter.

The All Blacks have a weak pool at the World Cup - Argentina, Tonga, Georgia and Namibia - so will use the Sydney test as a reminder of what can go wrong when they get to the - NZME knockout rounds.

A month out from kick-off and code-hopping superstar Israel Folau is already ranking the Rugby World Cup as the highlight of his extraordinary football career. In rugby league, Folau won an NRL grand final, was Queensland’s man of the match in a State of Origin series decider and became the youngest ever Kangaroo when he made his 2007 Test debut at just 18 years of age. After two seasons with Greater Western Sydney in the AFL, Folau then joined the NSW Waratahs to become the first player in history to make it in three Australian professional football codes. But the 26-year-old says that not even a Super Rugby crown or Bledisloe Cup triumph over the All Blacks can match the thrill of featuring in a Rugby World Cup. - AAP

Doping saddens Bolt Jamaican sprint star Usain Bolt has expressed sadness that doping issues rather than track talk is dominating the build-up to the world championships. Athletics’ world governing body IAAF has recently been mired with allegations over doping, while Bolt’s main rival is Justin Gatlin, the controversial American who has served two doping bans, the latter for four years after testing positive for testosterone.

“It’s really taken centre stage,” Bolt said of the doping issue. “All I’ve been hearing over the past couple of weeks is doping, doping, doping.

“The majority of questions are about doping, it’s definitely sad.” - AFP

College issues final warning

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton College let it be known they are still a netball force to be reckoned with after claiming a convincing 25-17 win over Celtic in the Premier semi-finals last night, meaning they will face Methven in the final next week.

Both teams put up a fight but it was College who took no prisoners, and as a result secured themselves a final berth.

Methven pulled out all the stops in their semi-final match against United, coming out on top with a 31-17 victory.

Meanwhile, Rakaia nudged out Hampstead 24-20 - securing their first win of the season in Premier.

The spirited game between College and Celtic got off to a fiery start, both teams scoring a goal each inside the first

30 seconds of the match. Both teams went goal-for-goal in the first quarter but some uncharacteristic sloppy shooting led to Celtic losing valuable ball and the quarter ended with College up by one, the score 5-4.

College conjured up a run of six straight goals in the second quarter, meanwhile Celtic did the work to bring the ball down the court but again lost precious ball in the goal circle.

By the end of the third quarter a composed College led by seven, the score 17-10.

Celtic did their best to make a comeback in the final quarter, but the seven point deficit proved too difficult to pull back.

College continued to push ahead on the scoreboard to finish the match 25-17.

Coach Angela Mitchell said she was proud of how her team performed, praising how they

took their time finding their feet and settling in in the first quarter.

Mitchell acknowledged Celtic had improved throughout the season, and said her team knew they had to be on form.

College haven’t been Premier champions since 2010, but will now focus their energy on making next week’s final one to remember.

Methven, who held the top spot in Premier for the last time in 2012, played an exceptionally strong game of netball against rivals United last night.

They made their presence known early on, scoring the first goal of the match in a matter of minutes.

United came to the party late in the first quarter, scoring three goals in quick succession.

The quarter ended with

Methven up by two, at 7-5.

United were putting the goals up in the second quarter, but they just weren’t sinking.

Both teams had a strong mid-court but the game was still Methven’s, the score 14-8 headed into halftime.

Methven led from the get go in the game’s third quarter and proved to be just too quick and too accurate for the United girls. Netting 10 goals to United’s three, they finished the third quarter at 24-11.

The final quarter saw Methven streak ahead even further to see the game out 31-17.

In Senior A, favourites Collegiate took out their match with College B 29-19.

Celtic B also had a win, securing a 34-17 victory over Hampstead B while College Y9A secured a comfortable 3121 win over Allenton A.

Wellington turns on a whitewash at Albany

By CamPBell Burnes It was hard to work out whether Wellington were that good or North Harbour were just that mediocre.

The Lions were not rampant, nor were they always fluent,

but they were good enough by a long shot (43-0) in Albany.

Even so, North Harbour won their lineout ball and were sound in the scrums, so should have done more with their possession.

They might need to go back

to basics with their backline passing, which was laboured and often inaccurate. They were hitting the outside player’s inside shoulder. Someone needed to straighten the attack.

But instead they lacked urgency, with and without the ball.

Wellington, in stark contrast, had some big hitters on attack (Ardie Savea), some big hitters on defence (Vaea Fifita).

Wellington will enjoy taking nine points from two games and look a decent bet to head back to the Premiership in 2016.- NZME

Nearly two years on from one of the greatest heavyweight fights in UFC history, Mark Hunt and Antonio Silva will finally settle the score. New Zealand’s Hunt and ‘Bigfoot’ Silva battled to an epic draw over five rounds during the main event of UFC Fight Night 33 in Brisbane in December, 2013.

Their careers have taken intriguing paths since that bout and they will share the octagon again in the co-main event of UFC 193 in Melbourne on November 15. Hunt (10-10-1) has mixed his results since the meeting with Bigfoot, which left him with a badly broken hand.

Rabbitohs on a roll Four months after sending Canterbury’s NRL season into a downward spiral, South Sydney can do it again tonight. The Bulldogs were left reeling in the aftermath of their infamous Good Friday loss to reigning premiers the Rabbitohs in April, with three players, including skipper James Graham, suspended and fullback Brett Morris and centre Tim Lafai incurring long-term injuries.

Canterbury have lost five of their past six against South Sydney and have St George-Illawarra and Manly just behind them on 24 points.

‘Settle Deflategate’ A judge has urged New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and NFL chief Roger Goodell to reach a settlement over the ‘Deflategate’ scandal, ordering the two sides to return to court on August 31 if no deal is reached.

Judge Richard Berman told lawyers for the two sides he was keen to see the feuding parties broker a deal over Brady’s four-game suspension. “A settlement seems like a logical and rational option,” Berman said. Brady and the NFL players union are challenging his ban for involvement in a plot to manipulate the air pressure of balls used in the Patriots’ AFC Championship win.

Aussies ‘ripe for picking’ Former New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond says the Kiwis have their best chance to end a 25-year drought against an Ashes-weary Australia this summer.

Bond believes a wounded Australia will be vulnerable in November against a touring Kiwi Test team revitalised under captain Brendon McCullum and coach Mike Hesson.

And he warmed to the prospect of the Kiwis extending Australia’s Ashes pain by winning their first trans-Tasman Test series since their 1-0 triumph in New Zealand in 1990.

“For New Zealand there is no better time to take on Australia than November,” said Bond, who was unveiled as assistant to Brisbane Heat coach and ex-Kiwi team-mate Daniel Vettori yesterday.

“If the boys play to their potential and we can get everybody fit then we will certainly be competitive.”

Former Kiwi captain Vettori also liked the look of New Zealand’s chances.

“Look at the keys to a team - top order batting, top order bowling.

“Package it with Brendon’s captaincy and batting and they tick all the boxes of a really good team,” he said.

“There is a lot of optimism in New Zealand cricket at the moment.”

The Test series starts at the Gabba from November 5 and concludes with an historic day-night match in Adelaide from November 27.

New Zealand has shown under McCullum that they can win away, notably their 199-

run thumping of England at Headingley to draw the series 1-1 in June.

However, Bond was also wary of Australia venting their Ashes frustration on world No.4 New Zealand.

“They have had a tough couple of months and will be looking at redemption when they get back home,” he said.

Meanwhile the Black Caps lost the first ODI against South Africa yesterday.

South Africa won by 20 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the threegame series, after making 304 for seven, having been sent in.

South Africa’s innings was based around a 185-run second wicket stand between centurymaker Hashim Amla and Rilee Rossouw (89).

For New Zealand Tom Latham and Williamson put on 104 for the second wicket but the loss of Guptill, Grant Elliott and Latham in the space of 12 balls undid the innings.

There was a stand of 71 in 65 balls between Jimmy Neesham and Colin Munro but South Africa had their noses in front and this time didn’t slip up.

SUDOKU Fill the grid so that every column, every row and 3x3 box contains the digits 1 to 9.

www.thepuzzlecompany.co.nz

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Beyond good and evil, there is love. Decisions made from love can seem complicated, not as cut and dried as the moral code in books. The heart deciphers its own moral code.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Follow your intellect to whatever it leads to instead of accepting the answer you are being fed by another. This is the way of thinkers and truth seekers.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You know what you like, even before the logical arguments have been made.

You’re working from the gut today and will get more information in the blink of an eye than you would in a lengthy dissertation.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): No relationship is entirely wine and roses, but you’ll experience more than your fair share of movie-worthy moments in coming weeks — so many that you may even dare to plan work and/or travel with a loved one.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Shakespeare penned, “We have some salt of our youth in us.” It’s that salt that has you reacting to someone as though you were much younger than you are.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Sometimes it’s difficult to meld new with known people, but right now new friends will fit nicely into your life puzzle and connect you to exciting options for love and work.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The gatekeepers are just doing their job. If they let everyone in, what would be the point of a gate? You’re in the perfect place and will get inside when you are completely ready.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Keep going on your project, even if you can only spend 10 minutes on it here and there. Ten minutes here and there will add up to significant progress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The general cries, “Forward!” and that’s the direction the army marches.

If it’s not happening when you cry “forward,” you’re not the general of this army. Find your army.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You could win the argument with that aggressive person you know, and yet winning would bring no satisfaction. Therefore, avoid. Your energy is best spent elsewhere.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Whatever you’re in the market for, true shopping wisdom comes after you’ve left the sales floor for a while. It’s hard to listen to your inside voice when someone else’s outside voice is booming in your ear.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You can’t stop yourself thinking a thought by focusing on not thinking it.

Distraction, new focus, a different environment will work to stop your worries today.

Steep learning curve for Lolohea

BY DAVID SKIPWITH Rookie Warriors playmaker Tuimoala Lolohea is expecting to get up close and personal with the North Queensland Cowboys’ forwards and knows he needs to step up defensively in tomorrow night’s clash at Mt Smart.

The 20-year-old endured a torrid night in last Saturday’s defeat to the Penrith Panthers, with the home side targeting him with a relentless stream of ball-carriers running down his right edge.

Lolohea admits this season has been a steep learning curve as

All Blacks will remember Sydney P18

injuries to key players saw him shuffled between fullback, wing and centre, and he believes defence has been the hardest part since Shaun Johnson’s seasonending injury saw him thrust into the halfback role three weeks ago.

“Being all over the show this

year [has been the most difficult],” said Lolohea.

“The biggest one [challenge] for me would just be my defence, especially with slotting into the halves now.

“We had a lot of traffic down our edge and they made a lot of little breaks. My defence was off

on the weekend but I can’t dwell on that too much. I’ve just got to get my body in front of the carrier and make my play.”

He faces a huge test lining up against Cowboys captain Johnathan Thurston, and is bracing himself for another night of bumps and bruises.
