National proposes four-lane highway

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

National have unveiled plans to fourlane the highway between Ashburton and Christchurch if re-elected.

As part of the Roads of Natural Significance programme, National have vowed to expand and improve State Highway 1 to boost economic growth, reduce travel time and lower the number of crashes.

The new road would feature two wide lanes and wide, sealed shoulders in either direction, from Ashburton to Christchurch, separated down the middle. National are also promising safe roadsides clear of obstacles and ditches, high quality signage and a high standard of landscaping and environmental controls.

National Party Candidate for Rangitata Andrew Falloon says he is “thrilled” with the news.

“Extending the road to four lanes has been a major focus of mine since I was selected,” he said.

It’s great to have the support of the Prime Minister, Transport Minister and other senior ministers.”

While Falloon’s “ideal situation” is a four-lane highway all the way to Tima-

National Party candidate for Rangitata, Andrew Falloon, is thrilled with new roading plans.

ru, he described the proposed changes as a huge endorsement of Canterbury’s growing economy.

“It will have a hugely positive impact on travel times and road safety, benefiting not just Mid Canterbury but also South Canterbury and the wider region.”

The Roads of Significance plan would invest $10.5 billion into roads across the country, with 10 major projects undertaken including Ashburton to Christchurch, the Christchurch northern motor-

way, Auckland’s East-West link and the Manuatu Gorge.

The roading project would serve to reduce congestion, improve safety and support economic growth.

Falloon says he hasn’t given up on four-laning all the way to Timaru, which he “firmly believes” will be required in the future.

“I’ll continue to push for our fair share of new infrastructure spending if I’m elected as Rangitata’s MP.”

Don’t compromise on looks.

■ NEW ZEALAND SAUSAGE COMPETITION

Ashburton’s butchers sign on for national challenge

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Gold, silver and supreme awards, they’ve all come Ashburton’s way in the past in the annual race to produce New Zealand’s best banger.

And this year Mike Hanson from Netherby Meats and Paddy Kennedy, Allenton Meats, will be going head-to-head again as they compete to bring a national title home.

Both have been gold category winners in the past and Kennedy snared the national supreme sausage of the year title in 2014 with a beef and blue cheese creation.

This year Hanson is paring back his entries to just beef, precooked and a Cumberland style sausage.

His pre-cooked sausage is a multi-medal winner.

Rather than chasing gourmet category titles, he’s opting to focus on the sausages that are his big sellers.

“You can make all the speciality sausages you like but it’s more important that you do the bread and butter ones, the everyday ones well,” he said.

Kennedy is a competition reg-

ular saying he believes it’s important to support his industry, but this year he almost missed getting his entries away.

With 15 minutes until deadline he was still scratching his head over what to put in and what to leave out.

While it might not be his final line-up, this year he plans to enter a new beef and chilli jam sausage and, after leaving it off the list since his big win, he’ll have his beef and blue cheese back under the judges’ eye.

Two salamis – beef, and salmon – will also make it to the competition.

“I’m not going to enter the standard sausages, I like to push the boat out a wee bit, particularly with the salamis. It’s a big ask with a fish salami in a retail meat competition, but I like to keep trying with that one,” he said.

Like Hanson he enters so he can see his product measured against his peers and to have it tasted by a panel of judges who might have different ideas and tastes to his customers.

Winners in this year’s competition will be announced on October 19.

■ POLITICS

Ardern swamped at campaign launch Jacinda Ardern received a rockstar welcome to the stage at Auckland Town Hall yesterday for her first major speech to the party faithful.

Just three weeks after becoming leader more than 2200 people flocked to see her launch the party’s election campaign, filling the room and spilling into neighbouring theatres.

Former prime minister Helen Clark, who Ardern started her political career working for, sat front and centre.

Ardern talked about her past – her childhood, the first time she was booed on stage and her

maiden speech in parliament in 2008 – and her hopes for the future, and the times when the two intersected.

Reflecting on her family’s move from Hamilton to Murupara when she was a child she remembered the lady at the dairy who sold her lollies but also the children whose families couldn’t afford shoes and the people who had lost their jobs.

“This was not the place or moment I was politicised. It was the moment I empathised,” she said.

“Understanding the issues people in our communities face, their experiences, and never being sat-

isfied that things are the way they are, and can’t be changed or made better. That is why I choose politics. That is why I am here.”

There were special mentions of those who came before her – Andrew Little and Norman Kirk, and as she turned her focus to the economy for Clark and Michael Cullen.

The speech included a lot of spruiking of existing Labour policies – three years’ free post-secondary education, removing tax advantages for housing speculators, cleaning up rivers and improving mental health services.

Allen’s Ashburton offer a great service

She called climate change her generation’s nuclear-free moment, vowing to tackle it head-on.

“And for me it’s simple – I want to build a country where every child grows up free from poverty, and is filled with hope and opportunity,” Ms Ardern said.

But in her first major speech to the party faithful, kicking off campaigning for the next five weeks, she announced no new policy.

She ended her campaign speech with a call to arms for supporters, to re-double their efforts and focus on the challenges and opportunities ahead.

“This is our moment and it starts with you,” she said.

“Let’s go from here today and run the campaign of our lives.

Let’s do this.”

Ardern received a standing ovation from the crowd and was swamped by supporters wanting a selfie as she left the stage.

Earlier yesterday internal party polls revealed the range between support for Labour and National was within the margin of error.

UMR recorded support for Labour at 37 per cent and National at 40 per cent, with a 3.6 point margin of error.

■ MORRINSVILLE SHOOTING

No sign of alleged gunman Calls are flooding in to police about New Zealand’s most wanted man – but they still have no idea where he is hiding.

Rollie James Heke, 36, has been on the run from police since last weekend, when he was allegedly involved in a shooting incident in Morrinsville.

Police revealed last week that his ex-girlfriend Irene Scanlon was also wanted.

On Saturday night police raided a house in Mt Albert, and the New Zealand Herald is aware of other addresses that have been visited in the search for the alleged gunman.

Yesterday there was no news as to Heke’s whereabouts.

“Police continue to search for Rollie Heke and Irene Scanlon,” said a police spokeswoman.

“Police have received reports from members of the public and are reviewing the information.”

The NZ Herald has reached out to Scanlon but she is yet to respond.

Her social media posts reveal that the pair were in a relationship while Heke was in prison.

A screenshot of messages sent between the couple was posted on Scanlon’s Facebook page.

“I love u baby,” Heke wrote to Scanlon.

“There no one worthy or worth anythin mor than u.

“I aint goin no where irene. im yours til the end of time.”

Bookarama hopes to crack $1m

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

In five weeks Ashburton will become the South Island’s gathering spot for book lovers when Ashburton Rotary opens the doors on its 38th Bookarama charity fundraiser.

And this year’s event will have a special edge – Rotarians are hoping they’ll cross the $1 million mark for funds raised for charity.

Between now, and the fair’s opening early on the morning of September 25, people around the district will be rolling up their sleeves and clearing cupboards, shelves and offices of unwanted books and making way for new reading stocks.

It’s a cycle that’s completed year after year and it’s one that’s become a routine that’s firmly entrenched, not only within the district, but for book lovers and second-hand book buyers from around the South Island.

Rotarian-in-charge this year

is Bob Englebrecht. He’s been a regular on the Bookarama team but this is his first year in the organiser’s chair.

He counts himself lucky that he’s inherited an event that is now so well-organised that it simply ticks along from year to year using a well-tested formula.

At the end of each event unsold books are packed away for the next year and over the winter club members have sorted thousands of these ahead of beginning the massive task of working their way through the deluge of books that will come in over the next few weeks.

“Collection boxes will be going out next week and then we’ll be pretty busy.

“People know Bookarama is coming up and already quite a few books have come in directly to us or people have started leaving them at the places the boxes normally go,” he said.

The Cates building on West Street is Bookarama’s storage

My Promise

“

“

Scanlon is known to police and the mother and grandmother is also facing active charges.

A warrant to arrest has been issued for the 43-year-old for breaching her community detention conditions.

Police would not be drawn on exactly where and how they were searching for Heke, citing operational reasons.

They warned the public and media to be “mindful” when directly contacting Heke’s associates.

And police urge the public to call 111 if they encounter the wanted man, rather than approaching him.

“As we have previously stated, Heke is dangerous and unpredictable and we are mindful of the risk to any individuals having direct contact with him or his associates,” they said earlier this week.

Both Heke’s mother and father have appealed for him to give himself up.

“No one has been hurt, it’s not that bad yet,” his father said. “You have time to do the right thing.

His mother also pleaded for him to stop running.

“Please do the right thing ... turn yourself in, son,” she said.

“I will be there for you.

“The family loves you, they care about you and they want you to know – Rollie, we’re all here for you.”

and sorting shed again this year and from next week books will be able to be dropped off there in a collection shed.

They are then trucked to the Ashburton Sports Hall and stacked on trestle tables awaiting the September 25 buyer onslaught.

Money raised through the book fair is given to charity. Last year $50,000 was raised but the record was set about two years ago at $53,000.

If sales run as expected, Englebrecht expects the million dollar total will easily be achieved.

People might have thought electronic readers would kill books, but the opposite appears to be happening, he said.

“It did slow down for a year or two but I heard recently from booksellers that the sale of books was now higher than ever.”

Bookarama will open on September 25 in the Ashburton Sports Hall and will run until Saturday, September 30.

■ SMILES 4 MILES

In brief

Smiles 4 Miles event proves a success

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Forty-two engines of all shapes, sizes and styles rolled up to a hugely successful Smiles 4 Miles event on Saturday at the Ryal Bush Transport yard.

The event was organised by Ryal Bush Transport as a fun day out for children and adults living with special needs.

A huge turnout of drivers offered people the experience to ride along in their trucks, vintage cars, hot rods and emergency service vehicles.

Organiser Tammy Wright said the event had been in the works for about six months, and was far more popular than they could have expected.

“We had about 90 people come along and the feedback was all great.”

The fire brigade, police, and a team from PGG Wrightson proved popular attractions on the day.

People had the opportunity to explore the back of an ambulance or try on fire helmets, as well as cruise along the streets in their favourite engines.

The event was inspired by a similar initiative which Wright had seen in Gore.

“We thought, why not Ashburton?”

Free food was provided by the Rapid Relief Team, along with entertainment in the form of raffles and visits from farm animals.

Wright said Smiles 4 Miles will definitely take place again next year, and she hopes it can become a fundraiser for charity.

Joint replacement crisis here Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The numbers are hard to gauge, but people working in the agedcare sector say there is a tsunami of older people who are living in the shadow of on-going pain because they cannot make it into the operating theatre for a hip or knee replacement surgery.

GreyPower national president Tom O’Connor said that member surveys have shown that some older people were selling their homes to pay for surgery they could not access through the public system.

Details on the number of people from the Ashburton District waiting in the surgery queue are not available, but Aged Concern

The man found dead near Tauranga Bridge Marina on Monday was 55-year-old Gary Colin Martin of Mount Maunganui.

Police were called to the marina about 10.40am on Monday after people found a body floating in the water near a pier. The body was quickly identified, and police have been in the process of contacting Mr Martin’s family and friends. Police have said Mr Martin’s death was not being treated as suspicious and the matter had been referred to the coroner.

Beanie found in search

■ HEALTH

By Sue NewmaN

Man named

president Trish Small believes they’re high.

“It’s quite an issue and there’ll be many cases locally. It’s probably costing more money keeping people waiting because of what’s required to keep the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff,” she said.

And for the elderly who did eventually get surgery, recovery times were far longer than they would have been if the problem was dealt with earlier and that came at a physical and financial cost too, Small said.

While the numbers weren’t there, the wait for surgery was a regular topic when groups of elderly gathered, she said.

“These people don’t like to

complain and the big thing for them is they’re being told they’re not bad enough. They’re a way down the waiting list, then the list’s revised and they go down even further.”

People who could still be living an active retirement had their lifestyle limited by pain and a lack of mobility, she said Ashburton GreyPower secretary Natalie Blampied said local members had taken part in a national GreyPower body survey and while she was aware many had taken part, she had not seen the results.

Anecdotally, she is aware of quite a number of people waiting to make it onto surgery lists, but said the subject was one that

had not come up for discussion at meetings. When it came to selling a home to pay for an operation, Blampied said she had not heard of that happening in Ashburton, but said there had been discussion around other options of generating cash such as reverse mortgages on homes.

The national survey found that 209 GreyPower members had been waiting six years for surgery with another 22 declined because they were too old.

People might talk of a looming crisis in surgery needs for the elderly, but O’Connor believes the country’s elderly are already in crisis, a crisis that will only worsen as the number of older people increases.

Rescuers remain determined to find two men missing in the Tongariro National Park for a week.

Searchers, who have travelled from Auckland and Wellington to look for the pair, found a beanie during the search on Saturday. “As a result of everyone’s relentless focus, we continue to find items of interest,” Inspector Tony Jeurissen said. The police national dive squad has completed its search of the Mangoatawai Stream and the area around Tongariro River. The two men in their 20s have been missing since allegedly fleeing from police on in a stolen car on State Highway 1 and into bush on August 12.

■ IT’S IN THE BOX

Game-show fun on a rainy day

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

About 100 people took refuge from a rainy Sunday to engage in a little game-show fun at the Sinclair Centre yesterday.

The St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church held a fundraiser in the form of a quiz show spin-off – renaming It’s in the Bag to It’s in the Box, and swapping host Selwyn Toogood for local personality Bernard Egan.

Contestants selected from the crowd answered questions, selected boxes and bargained for their contents.

The contents of the 12 boxes included generous donations to cheeky booby prizes.

It was the second time the event had been held by the church – the last successful event having taken place in 2015.

The afternoon also included light tea and lucky draws.

Derelict Surrey Hills sleep-out destroyed

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A derelict sleep-out in the Surrey Hills was razed to the ground in the small hours of Friday morning.

The building, situated near Anama, caught alight at around 12.53am.

Two trucks from the Mayfield volunteer fire brigade rushed to the scene, along with a team from Ashburton station.

Mayfield Rural Fire Force volunteer Alex Quigley said no peo-

ple were inside the building at the time it caught ablaze.

“It was an old sleep-out that some kids used to use,” he said.

“Fortunately it was just a little building.”

The sleep-out was completely burnt down but no damage was sustained to nearby property.

Quigley said they had waited to ensure the power lines were completely turned off before departing.

“But it’s too early to know what caused the fire at this stage.”

The University of Canterbury has launched an exhibition shedding light on the brain behind the design and construction of New Zealand’s World War One battlefield memorials.

Constructing Memory: Samuel Hurst Seager and New Zealand’s First World War Battlefield Memorials is now open in the Matariki Gallery.

The exhibition presents photographs, drawings and archives from Samuel Hurst Seager (1855-1933), a keen Christchurch architect who designed and oversaw the building of New Zealand’s five World War One battlefield memorials in Turkey, France and Belgium.

After earning a reputation as one of New Zealand’s top architects, Seager was appointed by the New Zealand government to

construct the five memorials in 1920 at Longueval, Le Quesnoy, Messines, Gravenstafel and Chunuk Blair.

The constructions have come to serve as important markers of New Zealand’s contributions on the battlefields.

The new exhibition is the first time the stories behind the memorials have been showcased.

Samuel Hurst Seager was a graduate of Canterbury College

The PlaySpace Theatre Co have launched into rehearsals for an “out of this world” rock opera, which will take over the Ashburton Trust Event Centre stage in November.

Tomorrow’s Too Late is a rock opera of love, loss, despair and community, told through minimal dialogue and maximal music and physical theatre.

Twenty eager performers were selected for the cast after auditioning last month, and have already been hard at work getting prepped.

The production will be directed

by Georgie Sivier and musically directed by Wayne Pannett.

The show includes smash hit rock songs plucked from the timeline of rebellion, and a futuristic-dystopian storyline.

Tomorrow’s Too Late is booked to take to the stage from November 16 to 18 and tickets will become available in the near future.

shburton is an area burdened with permanent intermediacy – it is the geographical meeting point between ski slopes and sea, the crossroads between urban and rural – and the figurative piggy in the middle between Christchurch and Timaru cities, where many drivers stop for no more than a cuppa and a tank of petrol.

This intermediacy is also forever highlighted to me by young professionals who have turned to the district as a temporary training ground, in which to hone their skills before jetting to bigger and better places – and commenters on our Facebook page who divulge their itching desires to “get away” and “leg it out of here” when they possibly can.

However, it seems this intermediacy gives rise to a truly incredible quality – our capacity to act as community mediators.

The amount of positive news which we cover is truly remarkable – fundraisers, initiatives and projects galore to give and keep peace in the community, on a daily basis.

In my two months here I’ve seen mothers dishing out free breakfasts to impoverished schoolchildren, and councillors to high school students shaving their head to raise money for cancer.

Whenever there’s flooding, fire or car crashes, there’s neighbours rushing to do what they can to help.

Where there’s individuals struggling to make a living, there’s teams of people knitting, baking and crafting for support.

This weekend the goodwill of truckies and car owners brought joy to those living with special needs, at Smiles 4 Miles, and at the end of the month, dozens will march the long road to Christchurch to rally for less poverty and homelessness.

After living in Auckland, Gisborne and Wellington throughout the past years the outstanding goodwill of Ashburton dwellers truly stands out and leaves me inspired and humbled.

It appears that the Ashburton town slogan “whatever it takes” is truly alive.

Pat on the back Ashburton – the rest of the country could certainly take a page out of your book.

New approach to tackling mental health challenges L

ast month I wrote a column about how here in New Zealand, as is the case internationally, we are seeing a growing demand for mental health and addiction services.

I also indicated that the Government had set aside $100 million in Budget 2017 to try innovative approaches to dealing with our mental health challenges.

The $100 million fund is part of a $224 million boost for mental health services over four years in Budget 2017.

It builds on the Government’s $1.4 billion-a-year investment in mental health and addiction services.

The Government has been working quickly, bringing together ministers, their agencies and experts, to determine the best way to allocate this new funding.

The fund will invest in a range of 17 new initiatives designed to improve access to effective and responsive mental health services, while at the same time starting to shift our focus towards prevention, early intervention and resilience-building.

The evidence shows that we need to transform our mental health services to build resilience in children and young people to help them better deal with mental health issues and to learn how to overcome known risk factors such as trauma.

In order to achieve this we are allocating $23 million to several school-based programmes focused on improving self-regulatory skills in early childhood and further bolstering school-based support for our young people.

We are also investing $4 mil-

lion to pilot a culturally responsive therapy service for children aged 5-to-12 years that have experienced or been exposed to family and/or sexual violence.

In the field of primary and community mental health care we are investing: • $5 million to ensure that anyone who attempts suicide will receive the ongoing support they need; • $25 million to expand and enhance primary and community mental health and addiction services and the workforce by extending existing successful services such as the Youth One Stop Shops established as part of

the Prime Minister’s Youth Mental Health Project; • $8 million to further improve support for people experiencing acute and emergency mental health needs; • $8 million for a multi-agency co-response service for people who call 111 seeking police or ambulance services in regards to a mental health issue; and • $5 million to provide accommodation support with wrap-around services for young people aged 16-24 diagnosed with or at risk of developing a mental disorder and living in insecure housing situations.

Technology has a huge role to play in tailored, convenient care in the future, which is why we are putting $10 million into a distance and e-therapy mental health package.

We are also allocating $5 million to better understand the

full-spectrum of mental health and mental disorders in New Zealand, including a focus on those often missed in research such as our homeless.

Mental health is a social investment priority for this Government.

It is one of our most challenging social issues, affecting a large number of New Zealanders with complex needs.

We want to help individuals and their families through the challenges they are facing so they can lead healthier and more independent lives.

PO Box 77 We welcome your letters and emails, but:

YOUR VIEW Poor water quality In response to Ian Mackenzie stating land use and urbanisation is the cause of poor water quality in our rivers and not irrigation.

Poor water quality is caused by low flows created by excessive irrigation takes (Ashburton River is the most over allocated river in NZ) and as a result, the river ecosystem is degraded because of • water temperatures rising, particularly in the summer months • lowered oxygen levels • algae blooms • Poor water quality includes nitrates and phosphates in aquifers caused by intensive farming and irrigation and for this reason the Hinds MAR project was created to dilute

the pollutants but not cure the cause of the problem.

• An e.coli report for the Ashburton River released some weeks ago confirmed cattle (bovine) were the prime cause.

Ian is welcome to test if the Ashburton River is of drinkable standard himself if he is game but tests say otherwise.

I fail to see how irrigating farm land with water abstracted from our depleted rivers is not correlated to their poor quality as it allows for more intense dairy farming land use where it would not otherwise be possible.

The adverse affects of intensive land use, particularly dairying, and the degraded state of our lowland rivers rivers has been publicised by well-known Massey University fresh water ecologist Mike Joy and is supported by

other eminent fresh water ecologists who are of the same opinion.

At a meeting in Ashburton on Friday, David Parker confirmed royalties would be “less than 1 per cent of the milksolids revenue” for a dairy farmer and royalties generated locally would be returned to the area “for cleaning up our waterways”.

If all is not used on waterways restoration, the remainder was available for other purposes.

Repairing heavy traffic damage to country roads caused by milk tankers comes to mind.

The Labour Party policy sounds fair and reasonable to me as those who benefit from the water abstraction will be contributing to the cost of remediation on all fronts.

Focus on missing imam A missing imam and a house that exploded days ago has become the focus of the investigation into an extremist cell responsible for two deadly attacks in Barcelona and a nearby resort, as authorities narrowed in on who radicalised a group of young men in northeastern Spain.

Investigators searched the home of Abdelbaki Es Satty, an imam who in June abruptly quit working at a mosque in the town of Ripoll, the home of the Islamic radicals behind the attacks that killed 14 people and wounded over 120 in the past few days.

Police were trying to determine whether Es Satty was killed in a botched bombmaking operation on Wednesday, the eve of the Barcelona bloodshed.

His former mosque has denounced the deadly attacks and weeping relatives marched into a Ripoll square on Saturday, tearfully denying any knowledge of the radical plans of their sons and brothers. At least one of the suspects is still on the run, and his younger brother has disappeared, as has the younger brother of one of the five attackers slain Friday by police.

Catalan police said a manhunt was centred on Younes Abouyaaquoub, a 22-yearold Moroccan suspected of driving the van

Paul Kelly has achieved his first number one album in a career spanning almost 40 years. The iconic Australian singer released his 23rd album Life Is Fine last week and has achieved top billing in the Australian ARIA album charts. Kelly had been writing the record in between his last few projects which included an album of funeral songs made with Charlie Owen and a recent EP of Shakespearean sonnets. “It’s sort of been brewing for a while. I was making these other records and getting involved in different things off the beaten path,” Kelly said.

Bruce Forsyth, 89, dies Thousands Elton John has paid tribute to the “brilliant comedian, television host and lovely man” Bruce Forsyth, following the British entertainer’s death aged 89.

The singer recalled on social media the time they sang together nearly 40 years ago.

John, 70, wrote on Twitter: “So sad to hear about the death of the legendary Bruce Forsyth. It was such an honour to work with him. My condolences to his family. (hashtag)RIP”.

In 1978, John was joined in a joke-filled performance of his track Your Song by Forsyth on one of his TV shows, and he posted a picture from their time on-stage together with his tribute.

Forsyth’s family announced his death at the weekend in a statement saying the TV veteran had “passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his wife Wilnelia and all his children”.

The family thanked everyone for their well wishes to Forsyth “over his long illness and know that they will share in part, the great, great loss they feel”.

Forsyth’s former Strictly Come Dancing co-stars Tess Daly, Arlene Phillips, Len Goodman and Claudia Winkleman, broadcasters Piers Morgan, Chris Evans and Stephen Fry, and British Prime Minister Theresa May are among the many others to have paid tribute to the beloved entertainer.

The veteran entertainer, whose career lasted more than seven decades and saw him work on programmes such as The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and Tonight At The London Palladium among many others, had been out of the limelight for a while.

Last year he was too frail to attend the funerals of close friends Ronnie Corbett and Terry Wogan.

march against hate in Boston

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Boston to protest hate speech a week after a woman was killed at a Virginia white-supremacist demonstration.

Their shouts drowned out the “Free Speech” rally that had sparked their march.

Organisers of the rally had invited several far-right speakers who were confined to a small pen that police set up in the historic Boston Common park to keep the two sides separate.

The city largely avoided a repeat of last weekend’s violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, where there were bloody street battles and one woman was killed.

The rally never numbered more than a few dozen people, and its speakers could not be heard over the shouts of those protesting it and because of the wide security cordon between the two sides.

Protesters surrounded people leaving the rally, shouting “shame” at them and occasionally throwing plastic water bottles. Police escorted several rally participants through the crowds, sometimes struggling against protesters who tried to stop them. A Reuters photographer saw multiple marchers arrested.

Two male rally participants wearing Trump’s red “Make America Great Again” campaign hats attempted to enter the penned-in protest area. They were swarmed by black-clad protesters, some with their faces covered, as the crowd screamed “go home” and “no hate” at them.

About 500 police officers had placed barricades, including large white dump trucks, to prevent vehicles from entering the park.

Jane Campion

Top of the Lake returns There aren’t many TV shows that are screened in full, and receive a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival, but that’s what happened after audiences watched the full six hours of Top of the Lake: China Girl.

The intriguing mystery New Zealand creator/director Jane Campion brings to life has gripped audiences since the first season premiered in 2013. For the second season, China Girl, the action has relocated from New Zealand’s South Island to Sydney, bringing the show’s pivotal character, Detective Robin Griffen (Elisabeth Moss) back home to find the daughter she gave up for adoption as a baby.

Spice Girls tour unlikely Emma Bunton says a Spice Girls reunion tour is “unlikely to happen”. The 41-yearold beauty – who was better known as Baby Spice in the group – says Mel C, Mel B, Geri Horner and Victoria Beckham’s priorities are their children and with them all doing their own separate projects fitting in shows would a tough task.

Asked if a reunion is still on the cards, she said: “I hope so, but it’s hard to pin everyone down – we’re doing our own things and we’re all mums. I can’t imagine a tour would happen with the kids at school and everything.”

ucked away behind Twizel and down a gravel road, Ben Ohau Road Cheese is a stunning little enterprise, specialising in off-the-grid cheesemaking.

It personifies the quiet but sure-footed evolution of Twizel, which now proudly sports the moniker, the Heart of the High Country.

It’s such a revitalising escape hatch from the daily melee, just over two hours drive from Ashburton, tailor-made for weekend retreats, writes Mike Yardley.

Dunnicliff who was previously a radio producer, keeping the likes of Tony Veitch and Martin Devlin in line.

Ten years ago, Matt and his wife, Tracey, bought this block of land with big sky lifestyle dreams, eager to escape the Auckland rat-race.

Tracey was brought up in the hydro town, so it was very much a return to her roots. Matt had started dabbling in cheese-making after attending a demonstration in Auckland – and became hooked.

cakemaker – she was a finalist in Masterchef, in 2010.

For the past five years, Ben Ohau Road Cheese has been producing small quantities of premium quality artisan cheeses on a lifestyle block, underpinned by a staunch upcyling and recycling ethos.

A converted shipping container is Matt’s Cheese Room, while a caravan has been configured as a commercial kitchen.

The cheese-making takes place without a traditional electrical supply – the gas and hot water is already reliant on solar power and Matt is planning to go fully solar, soon. It is an inspirational work in progress.

Over the summer months, Matt will make cheese four days a week, producing a tonne and a half of hand-made cheese annually. I devoured one of his moreish tasting platters, where the cheeses thoughtfully celebrate a sense of place.

My runaway favourite is the Aorangi Tangi, a soured curd creamy cheese matched with spicy pear jelly – a taste sensation

with the local alpine salmon.

Inventive, boutique enterprises are popping up all over the Mackenzie. Just down the road from the cheese-maker, I admired SkyScape, a new accommodation experience now open, which consists of a luxury glass pod, crowned with a grass roof.

Ultra-chic and eco-friendly, SkyScape is also solar powered.

Come spring, Lake Pukaki will become home to New Zealand’s only commercial hovercraft operation. The exciting new tourism venture will offer cyclists a riveting way to start their Alps2Ocean cycle trip and while also operating sightseeing trips up to the Tasman River, under the majestic gaze of Aoraki/Mt Cook.

A fabulous way to get an insightful overview of the Twizel region is to join a Three Lakes Tour with Lakeland Explorer. Owned and operated by the delightful Jill Johnson, I joined some fellow guests on her Three Lakes Tour, which weaves together the watery jewels of Pukaki, Ohau and the rowing mecca of Ruataniwha, on a three-hour romp.

Ben Ohau Road Cheese is a stunning little enterprise, specialising in off-the-grid cheese-making. The brains behind this rustic, unpretentious and deliciously distinctive endeavour is Matt Dunnicliff.

As we marvelled over the iridescent turquoise hues of Pukaki, with Aoraki glinting in the distance, and the switching light, Jill pointed out the big boulder on the shoreline.

Ominously jutting out of the water, it’s a tell-tale sign that the lake levels are profoundly low.

Passing by Pukaki Airfield, rumour has it that an Asian investor wants to upgrade and extend the airstrip, so that jets can fly in.

Oprah would like that – she recently stayed at Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat.

We shadowed the gleaming canals that liberally lace the region, replete with salmon and trout, spell-bound by their other-worldly hues which fast change shade with the shifting light.

There’s 50 kilometres of canals between Tekapo and Benmore. Jill remarked that with a width of 10 metres and a depth of 20 metres, you could actually float the QE2 in the canals. Now that would be a traffic-stopper!

Adjacent to Ben Ohau Station, the undulating expanse of the tawny tussocked-Ruataniwha Conservation Park serves up a

spree of scenic walking options, which I made a pact to explore on a future visit.

We also paused to soak up the cinematic grandeur of “Pelennor Field“ as seen in Lord of the Rings, and shot on Ben Ohau Station, at the foot of the mountain range.

Ben Ohau Range’s reflected glory in the glossy canals behind Twizel are screensaver-worthy.

I feverishly snapped away like a gannet.

It was through Jill’s tour that I gained a major deeper appreciation for the sheer magnitude of the Waitaki hydro-power scheme.

The sprawling network of interlinking canals, lakes, spillways and power stations really is an engineering tour de force.

A lovely retired couple on the tour had recently relocated from “too busy, too expensive” Queenstown to Twizel – the town that was meant to be temporary.

Twizel’s population tanked to just 300 in 1984 and you could buy one of those iconic hydro houses for just $12,000. Nowadays, even the most basic of those workers’ houses sells for $300,000!

A common refrain that I frequently heard to explain the sustained love-affair with this town is that Twizel’s embracing community spirit and easy-going appeal is how Queenstown and Wanaka were like 30 years ago.

A brand new Heritage Trail is set open in Twizel this summer, where you can walk through the town and chart its remarkable back-story through the information panels.

I love how some Twizel eateries lustily pay homage to its rich hydro construction roots. As the name would suggest, Hydro Café is a fabulously retro affair with works project fittings and homely 1970s décor.

Similarly, MOW Bar & Eatery is an evocative, celebratory salute to the guts and glory of the mammoth Ministry of Works project, with original works plans and memorabilia festooning its walls.

Next to Shawty’s, this buzzy and playful venue which is also operated by Troy Sheridan, offers a superb range of dishes designed to share with a craft beer from Burkes Brewing Co. www.mackenzienz.com

Springboks topple Argentina

In the first 45 minutes the All Blacks obliterated Australia with some of the most devastating attacking rugby seen in the past decade.

■ RUGBY

All Blacks win crazy test

By GreGor Paul Whatever was happening off the field in Sydney, it quite obviously didn’t distract the All Blacks from the job in hand.

Aware that after a poor series against the British & Irish Lions, an eruption back into life of an old sex scandal and the claims of a new one, they were under pressure to perform.

They did just that. Not for long enough, but certainly in the first 45 they obliterated Australia with some of the most devastating attacking rugby seen in the past decade.

Perhaps fittingly, one of the craziest weeks in this long and compelling rivalry, ended with one of the craziest matches.

There have been epic Bledisloe Cup battles, wild happenings and unforgettable moments but this was something different again.

There had never been a test quite as regimented, quite as demarcated with the All Blacks

scoring seven unanswered tries then the Wallabies hitting back with four on the trot.

It was ridiculous. Fun, ridiculous, entertaining but a touch surreal with it as never had one team so comprehensively destroyed another in such short order.

The All Blacks scored 54 points in 44 minutes and that is unheard of at this level.

There was so much pace, accuracy and venom in the All Blacks’ attack that the Wallabies had little idea what had hit them and even less idea on how to do anything effective to stop it.

Some of their one-on-one tackling was a touch weak, but then there was this overwhelming feeling that it wasn’t really part of the story.

Even if the Wallabies had been spot on in that regard, it would only have delayed the inevitable because the All Blacks were going to find the space and they were going to score almost every time they had the ball.

They were in that sort of mood, refusing to kick out of defence.

Refusing to kick virtually any ball at all and their willingness to run and pass stretched the Wallabies all over the park and broke them with alarming regularity.

The big take out of the Lions series was the need to be more attack-minded and clinical – two boxed the All Blacks can be certain they can be ticked in that opening blitz.

It felt at times like Brodie Retallick may have cloned himself such was his work rate and availability to smash up the middle.

Liam Squire positioned himself well to maximise his pace and strength when carrying the ball and Ryan Crotty picked the most acute angles to hit the ball flat and glide through the Wallabies for fun.

But the list could go on. It wasn’t a game defined by individuals, but by the cohesive nature of the attack and the ability of everyone to contribute.

It also came to be defined by

the sudden nature in which the All Blacks switched off and let the Wallabies come back at them.

They will be grumpy, rightly so, at the way they drifted out of the game in the final half hour. The control deserted them once they hit 50 points.

Their attacking became too lose, almost wild at times and while huge credit has to go to Australia for the way they clawed themselves away from humiliation, the All Blacks’ will feel their defending was equally erratic in the last half hour.

They would have loved to have pushed on in the final quarter and left the Wallabies broken ahead of the Dunedin rematch.

Instead, it was job half done although that half was quite magnificent.

Australia 34 (K. Rona, T. Kuridrani, K. Beale, I. Folau tries; B. Foley 4 cons, 2 pens) New Zealand 54 (L. Squire, R. Ioane (2), R. Crotty (2), S. Williams, D. McKenzie, B. Smith tries; B. Barrett 7 cons).

Ghana-born winger Raymond Rhule scored his first international try, as South Africa claimed a 37-15 victory over Argentina in their Rugby Championship opener.

The Springboks dominated the physical contest, and scored tries through winger Courtnall Skosan, flanker Siya Kolisi and lock Pieter-Steph du Toit, their fourth victory in a row, after a 3-0 cleansweep of France.

Argentina defended manfully and enjoyed little possession, but managed tries through experienced halfback Martin Landajo and winger Emiliano Boffelli.

The Springboks also handed a first cap to 20-year-old fiveeighth Curwin Bosch, when he replaced Elton Jantjies late in the game.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better start [to the competition],” said captain Eben Etzebeth. “We said, at halftime, we must keep going and the ball will break for us.”

After a miserable 2016 in which they lost eight of their 12 tests, signs of a Bok revival continued, as they won key battles against the Argentines. The home side were dominant in the scrum and held their defensive shape well, offering little space for the visitors to exploit.

South Africa dominated possession in the opening half, but after Jantjies had kicked two penalties, the visitors scored the opening try against the run of play. They completed a swift break in the corner, after Jan Serfontein’s attempted grubber kick was scooped up and Landajo was sent clear to dot down.

But a moment of magic by Skosan just before halftime, coupled with some weak defence, allowed the winger to score his maiden international try, as the Springboks headed into the break with a 13-5 advantage.

The teams traded penalties early in the second period, before the Boks took control of the game, when Rhule rounded off some slick handling to cross for his try.

At that stage, South Africa led by 15 points, but that was cut to seven, when Boffelli crossed in the corner for the visitors, after some concerted pressure. With 20 minutes to go, the game was still in the balance, although the Boks continued to dominate possession and territory, and they made sure of the win as Kolisi and Du Toit crossed for tries against the wilting Argentine defence.

Argentina will host the Boks in Salta next Saturday.

The world reacts

■ OBITUARY

Legend Pinetree dies The forest will fall silent after the felling of the sturdiest of all trees.

Sir Colin ‘Pinetree’ Meads passed away yesterday at the age of 81, a loss which will be mourned throughout the rugby-playing world.

Meads was the most famous of famous All Blacks, an icon who remained a highly popular figure here and abroad decades after his outstanding playing career ended.

In 133 matches for the All Blacks between 1957 and 1971 – second only to Richie McCaw’s 148 and equal with Keven Mealamu – the tough-as-teak former King Country lock played 55 tests.

Meads was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and he took a typically combative attitude towards it, vowing to “beat the bastard”.

At 1.92m and 102kg, he was small by today’s standards but always gave the impression of being a giant and complemented his natural athleticism with a rare ferocity.

Meads played hard and expected his opposition to do the same. He enjoyed his duels with rugged men such as Willie John McBride of Ireland, Benoit Dauga, of France, and Frik du Preez, of South Africa.

Although he began his international career as a flanker, it was as a lock that he played most of his rugby.

In the tight exchanges his immense strength made him a man not to be messed with, and in the open his excellent ball skills and desire to be involved were admired by teammates and feared by opponents.

He could play too hard, leading to dark moments in his career.

In 1966 he punched British Lion David Watkins; in 1968 Australian

halfback Ken Catchpole’s career was effectively ended when he was torn from a ruck; in 1969 Welsh hooker Jeff Young suffered a broken jaw, courtesy of Meads.

His most infamous run-in with officialdom as a player was in 1967 when he was ordered from Murrayfield in the test against Scotland.

In his defence it must be said that Meads was also the victim on occasions.

During a test against France in Paris in 1967 a brutal kick to the head meant he had to play out the match with a huge bandage covering the wound.

In South Africa in 1970, his arm was broken with an aimed kick by an Eastern Transvaal forward.

Incredibly, he returned to play out the match with a huge bandage covering the wound.

Later he appeared in the test series with his arm encased in a protective splint.

Meads began a 19-season provincial career in 1955 and in the same year went on the New Zealand Colts’ tour of Australia and Ceylon.

He made his All Blacks debut as a 20-year-old, playing both tests on the 1957 tour of Australia at flanker. In the second test, he scored the first of his seven test tries.

He quickly became an indispensable part of a great forward pack, alongside players like his brother Stan, Wilson Whineray, Kel Tremain, Ken Gray, Brian Lochore and Waka Nathan.

Former All Blacks coach Fred Allen once described Meads as an ideal tourist.

“Colin Meads’ stupendously consistent form developed from his willingness to train yet it could never be said of Colin while he was

on tour that he made training such a fetish that he was incapable of enjoying himself,” Allen wrote.

He played his best rugby when locking the scrum with his brother Stan in 1965 against the Springboks and 1966 against the Lions.

In the third test against France at Eden Park in 1968, he became the world’s most capped international.

Meads was 35 when he captained the All Blacks against the Lions in 1971.

The home series loss was a sad ending to the international career of a man whose devotion to rugby and New Zealand was unparalleled.

Meads’ motivation was simple: “I can remember saying I wanted to be not just an All Black but a good All Black.”

When he broke his back in a motor accident in late 1971 the nation was shocked.

But the shock turned to awe when he returned to rugby the following winter, although he made himself unavailable for the All Blacks.

In 1973 Meads captained a President’s 15 to victory over the All Blacks before retiring after a record 361 first-class matches. He continued to play for his Waitete club until 1975.

Meads was never going to disappear from the rugby landscape.

He turned to administration and coaching at provincial level, and selected and coached North Island teams before being promoted on to the national selection panel in 1986.

The latter appointment was a brief one, though, because Meads decided to join the rebel Cavaliers tour of South Africa as coach. He was axed from the panel and for a time was personal non grata to

the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU).

In time he was forgiven and in 1992 he was elected on to the NZRU council and managed the All Blacks teams of 1994 and 1995.

He fell victim to an administrative revamp of the council in 1996 as professionalism pushed aside many links with the past.

Meads remained forthright in his opinions and was often sought out as a defender of the game’s old values.

He remained committed to his charitable causes - he was a staunch supporter of the IHC and raised millions of dollars for the organisation through his public speaking events and the sale of calves - the latter scheme raising an estimated $14million.

The public’s fascination with Meads remained as insatiable as ever in his latter years.

Meads received just about every honour the game bestowed, including membership of the International Hall of Fame and the New Zealand Sporting Hall of Fame.

There was no debate in late 1999 when New Zealand Rugby Monthly magazine named him the New Zealand Player of the Century and in the 2001 New Year’s Honours list he was made a New Zealand Companion of Merit.

In June this year Meads helped unveil a 2.7m statue of himself in Te Kuiti. In a speech, former All Blacks captain Brian Lochore said: “What he has done for Te Kuiti is amazing... but what he has done for New Zealand is unsurpassable.”

Alongside Meads at the presentation was brother Stan, also a former All Black. “He’s a bloody good bugger,” he said of his older brother.

New Zealand, and the world, are reacting to the news that All Black great Sir Colin Meads has passed away.

One of the first to pay tribute to Sir Colin was Labour leader Jacinda Ardern.

“RIP Sir Colin Meads. #legend,” she tweeted.

Prime Minister Bill English said it was a sad day for New Zealand rugby and for New Zealand.

“I have had the privilege of getting to know Sir Colin. He was not only a great All Black but also a genuinely good New Zealand bloke.

“He represented what it means to be a New Zealander. He was nononsense, reliable, hardworking, warm and very generous with his time.

“I remember when I was younger hearing stories about how he used to shear sheep all day and go running at night. I thought I’d give it a go. I quickly learned the Meads legend was built on physical and mental toughness.

“My thoughts are with Sir Colin’s wife Lady Verna, and his family and friends at this time.”

Broadcaster Scotty Stevenson said Meads was a “true giant of a man”.

Television host James McOnie said Meads was “a great man”.

Other politicians shared tributes on social media.

“RIP Sir Colin Meads, the archetypal All Black against whom the rest are measured,” said Health Minister Jonathan Coleman.

“A great Kiwi.”

Finance Minister Steven Joyce tweeted: “A true colossus of his era.

RIP Colin Meads.”

MP Judith Collins said: “Deepest sympathy for the Meads family and especially Lady Verna.

“A humble, mighty man. A legend. RIP.” New Zealand First leader Winston Peters issued a statement after hearing the sad news.

He said Meads “was, and still is, one of New Zealand’s rugby greats but so much more”.

“He wore his celebrity on a sound and sensible set of shoulders,” he said.

Journalist Mike McRoberts shared a memory of the rugby great.

“Colin Meads gave me a rugby trophy when I was 16,” he said.

“I can’t remember what for but the memory of him giving up his time always stuck with me. RIP.” NZ Cricket Players Association chief executive Heath Mills also weighed in.

“Very sad news to hear that Colin Meads has passed ... one of the greatest players and icon of his time #RIP” Mills Tweeted.

Champion boxer Joseph Parker has also tweeted about Meads’ death, offering condolences to the family and community the former sportsman was loved by.

IHC chief executive Ralph Jones said the thoughts and best wishes of the association was with the Meads family.

“While Colin is best known for rugby, to us he is one of a small number of distinguished IHC New Zealand Life Members recognised for their significant support for people with intellectual disabilities,” he said.

In brief Kyrgios into final Nick Kyrgios will play for the biggest trophy of his career – and potentially so much more – after surging into his maiden Masters 1000 final in Cincinnati. Kyrgios secured a precious top-16 seeding for the US Open starting on Monday week with his gritty 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4) semi-final victory over Spanish veteran David Ferrer.

After a horror four months, the enigmatic Australian is suddenly a Sunday win over Grigor Dimitrov away from vaulting into contention for a spot in the eightman World Tour Finals for the first time.

Three Mid Canty sides make it into the finals

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

Three finals await Mid Canterbury hockey sides next weekend after two games on Saturday.

In the men’s first division, Wakanui smashed their way in to

the plate final after an impressive 8-1 thrashing of Tainui in Timaru.

The win secures the side a place in the plate final against Northern Hearts.

In the women’s first division, both Hampstead and Hamp-

stead/Collegians had their places in the final and plate final booked for next weekend respectively.

Hampstead coach Rex Turnbull said the sides took the opportunity to give some game time to players who did not get

to play as much in tight games, as well as experiment with playing without a goalkeeper.

Despite this, Hampstead were able to win 4-3.

“The score didn’t really matter but it was quite nice to sneak in and win,” he said.

Smith, Brennan to assist Kiwis The Kiwis will get some highpowered help in their coaching staff for the World Cup later this year.

David Kidwell will announce veteran NRL coach Brian Smith and highly-regarded up and comer Garth Brennan as part of his staff at a formal announcement today.

The 63-year-old Smith spent 25 seasons coaching in the NRL and was at the helm of 582 first grade matches with the Illawarra Steelers, St George Dragons, Parramatta Eels, Newcastle Knights and Sydney Roosters as well as three stints coaching in the UK. He most recently coached Wakefield-Trinity before stepping side last year.

Smith has been tipped for a role with the Kiwis for some time and will act as a technical analyst to second year coach Kidwell.

Kidwell, who replaced Stephen Kearney as Kiwis coach a year ago, has a relationship with Smith having played under him at Parramatta in the late 1990s.

Brennan is yet to coach at first

Brian Smith will act as a technical analyst for the Kiwis during the Rugby League World Cup. grade level but is thought to be a promising coach that will have a successful career in the NRL. He has been linked to the Gold Coast Titans, who are likely to sack current coach Neil Henry this week.

Brennan has coached lower grades at Penrith and knows a number of the young Kiwi players. Former NRL star-turned

commentator Matthew Johns nominated Brennan as the game’s next great coach.

“I’ve had a rap on fellow named Garth Brennan for a long time,” Johns said on his Triple M radio show.

“Brennan has been coaching lower grades at Penrith for a number of years now and he’s won competition after competi-

tion. “He’s a young coach, he is very much in that Trent Robinson, Michael Maguire mold in the fact people don’t know who he is.

“He’s not a household name in rugby league but after you have 12 months of success that’s how you build your reputation.”

Kidwell has had difficulty assembling the World Cup line-up and was knocked back by Warriors assistant Stacey Jones, who is concentrating on his role at the struggling NRL club, but settled on a line-up that brings a blend of experience and an understanding of current trends.

Renowned NRL administrator Shane Richardson will be the campaign manager for the Kiwis having started with the side in this year’s ill-fated mid-year test where senior players Jesse Bromwich and Kevin Proctor were caught up in a drugs scandal and stood down from the World Cup. The World Cup runs October 27 to December 2 in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.

The All Blacks are promising no let-up as they look to secure the Bledisloe Cup for a 15th straight year with a 21st consecutive win over the Wallabies in New Zealand.

The All Blacks are seeking perfection in Saturday’s game two in Dunedin. Steve Hansen is demanding no repeat of the final half hour when the Wallabies replied with four unanswered strikes. The late collapse comes after the British and Irish Lions rallied to level their recent series in New Zealand and marked the first time since 1996 that the All Blacks had lost the second half in three successive tests.

Force cull rally An estimated 10,000 Western Force fans have rallied in Perth against the Super Rugby club’s axing by the Australian Rugby Union. Billionaire Force backer Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest said culling the Force was a “weak financial decision” and if the ARU wasn’t good at managing money they should “hand over to people who are”. Rugby WA is expected to learn this week whether it will be granted the right to appeal the ARU’s decision in the NSW Supreme Court.

Storm clinch title The Melbourne Storm have clinched first place in the National Rugby League with two regularseason rounds remaining. The Storm ended Newcastle’s threematch winning streak on Saturday, with a 44-12 win over the Knights giving them 40 competition points from 18 wins in 22 matches.

Second-place Brisbane, which kept pace by beating St George Illawarra 24-12 on Friday, has 34, level with the Sydney Roosters, with a maximum four points available from the last two games.

Playmaker Brodie Croft, replacing the rested Cooper Cronk, scored three tries and set up two others to help the Storm clinch the J.J. Giltinan Shield for winning the NRL’s minor premiership.

In brief McCullum on fire again Brendon McCullum’s scoring power shows no sign of abating as he unfurled a match-winning knock for his competition-leading Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League. The former New Zealand captain slammed an unbeaten 65 off 45 balls as his team raced to 131-3 in response to a modest 130-5 from the Guyana Amazon Warriors in Guyana. McCullum, 35, hit four sixes and four fours to rediscover his touch after failing to pass 20 in his five knocks since an openinground half century.

ter with schools’ tennis and preparing to make this the biggest season ever,” he said.

Mid Canterbury Tennis will be hosting an open day this Sunday to provide people with an opportunity to see what the club is about.

Van Rooyen said a big focus this year will be growing tennis in the clubs around the region, so it will not be just focused at

the tennis centre.

“We really want to connect with the junior and senior members of the clubs and build them up again,” he said.

“We want to be getting more of them playing junior interclub when that starts up again soon.”

Also starting up again in October will be the Hot Shots Coaching Programme.

“We had good numbers last summer, we got 100 students, and in term one of this year we had 98,” Van Rooyen said.

“There have been some leave and some come in but it is great to see the numbers stay about the same.”

The open day starts at 12.30pm and runs to 2pm on August 27 at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre.

Ryan Hoffman admits it would be ideal to finish his NRL career in Melbourne, but is no certainty to sign with the Storm for 2018. The 33-year-old was told by Warriors officials at the start of the season his contract in Auckland would not be renewed. The former NSW State of Origin and Kangaroos representative played 245 games for Melbourne between 2003 and 2014, and won three grand finals there despite spending a season in England in 2011. And while he has been in negotiations with the club to return next year, he has revealed he also has a number of other options to consider. “It would be great to finish my career there,” Hoffman said.

Crowdfunding bid axed Former Warriors Monty Betham has pulled the pin on his quest to launch a crowdfunding campaign to buy the Warriors.

With Warriors owner Eric Watson locked in negotiations to sell, Betham made a plea to league fans earlier this week to buy a potential stake in the club. Despite receiving overwhelming feedback, Betham received a phone call from Warriors chief executive Jim Doyle on Friday afternoon, saying negotiations were on-going, but crowdfunding did not feature in future plans.

Chris Wood in action for the All Whites at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.

■ FOOTBALL

Wood back in EPL with $26m deal All Whites striker Chris Wood has reportedly signed to play in the English Premier League with Burnley.

The 25-year-old has signed for a reported STG15 million ($NZ26.5 million) move 30km west in what will be a record signing for the Lancashire club.

Leeds manager Thomas Christiansen confirmed Wood’s departure, following his club’s 2-0 win away over Sunderland on Sunday morning (NZT).

“When one player doesn’t want to stay, there is nothing I can do. I only want players who are 100 per cent with the team,” he told Sky Sports.

Prolific marksman Wood, who scored 30 goals in all competitions for Leeds last year, turned down a big-money three-year deal from Leeds on Friday.

“We showed it’s not about one player, we’re about the team, no one is above the team,” Christiansen told The Guardian.

“Yesterday Chris rejected a very good offer from us. That means his mind is not with Leeds - and I only want players who’ll fight for the shirt.”

Nevertheless, Christiansen still respected the Kiwi’s decision to depart to England’s top flight football division.

“The possibility to go to a Premier League club is interesting for him, and probably the money is also much better,” Christiansen said in a report on the Club Call website.

“But he was [a] recognised and appreciated player at this club and everyone has to respect his decision.

“He’s a professional and if that’s his thought we have to respect it.”

Wood sat out his scheduled match for Leeds United against Sunerland in the second-tier English Championship because of what he says would be a conflict while he discusses shifting clubs.

“Due to strong interest from a Premier League team, the ongoing discussions with the club, and given it has always been my ambition to play at the highest level, I don’t feel it is right that I play today,” he wrote on Twitter.

“I wish the team all the best and hope the lads can pick up the three points.”

- NZME

Man U rocket to top of EPL Manchester United fans would be ill-advised to start dreaming about the title just yet, but can be heartened by another vintage performance in a 4-0 rout of Swansea.

Following the opening-day mauling of West Ham by the same score, United manager Jose Mourinho was a happy man today.

“I think the team is confident and in both matches, winning 1-0 at halftime, we didn’t start the second half looking like we had to keep a clean sheet to win the match,” he said.

“The players that came on from the bench did well. Easy for me to make decisions, easy for me to make changes.

“The players make the manager look better and I thank their fantastic attitude, because we know we have to have a squad to do something special this season.”

Midfield anchorman Nemanja Matic bossed the centre of the pitch, allowing a rejuvenated Paul Pogba to venture forward and score his second goal in two games, while striker Romelu Lukaku netted his third, after selfless work throughout the match.

Henrik Mkhitaryan and substitute An-

thony Martial, who again scored as a late substitute, also continued to thrive.

A 10-man West Ham conceded a stoppage-time penalty, after fighting back from 2-0 down at Southampton to lose 3-2.

Javier Hernandez’s double either side of halftime had seemed to complete an astonishing comeback for West Ham, which trailed after Manolo Gabbiadini and a Dusan Tadic penalty put the Saints two up with their first home league goals since April.

In between, West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic received a straight red for elbowing Jack Stephens in the face, his second dismissal against Southampton in two seasons.

But West Ham refused to buckle and Mexican Hernandez thought he had done enough to earn a point, before Pablo Zabaleta bundled over Maya Yoshida deep into added time and Austin converted the spot-kick.

Watford and West Brom had away wins over Bournemouth and Burnley respectively, while at Anfield, Sadio Mane struck in the 73rd minute for Liverpool to scrape past Crystal Palace.

Cryptic crossword

Monday, August 21, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Life is not all glamour. It’s work. The best way to avoid drudgery is to stop thinking of it as drudgery and just finish it. Bonus: While you’re at it, you’ll come up with a better way to execute the task.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You may set out alone, but you will have companionship along this path.

The journey will require you to lean on and develop the qualities of adaptability, integrity and forbearance.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): We can’t learn what we’re already certain of. That’s why doubting is the first step to knowledge. As you lead with your open and curious mind, you will grow in knowledge and heart.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Love is trusting and being trustworthy. Add a little eye contact and the warmth of physical touch and you’ve got romantic love. You may argue that it’s more complicated than that, but is it? Is it really?

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re happy for the success of your friends and family, as long as that success is tempered with modesty. On the other hand, you’ve little or no tolerance for smug contentment.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There’s a reason you want what you want. This is a lucky time in which you really can do it all. You’ll be able to integrate your more diverse wishes instead of choosing between them.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Problems can be approached from different angles until solved. As for the situation that remains inflexible and nonresponsive no matter how you approach it, it’s not a problem; it’s a reality to accept.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Perspective is a life raft after the storm has capsized the boat. Hop on, and then drift out and look back on the sinking remains of the past. You’re safe and headed toward welcoming shores.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Change is hard, so make it count. What would it take for you to fall in love with your situation? What would it take for you to fall in love with yourself? The answers point to the change you most need.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Children are irrational.

Their rational brains haven’t developed. They operate from core desires without being constrained by considering what’s possible.

You’ll benefit from such an approach today.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Give yourself the gift of experience without bogging it down with the expectation of a certain result. Not knowing what’s going to happen will be half the fun.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You think that getting what you want will lead to a certain feeling, and it may. There are other ways at getting to that same feeling, though – some of them easier. It’s worth brainstorming about; you’re brilliantly creative now.

Sport Reid out injured All Whites captain Winston Reid is in serious doubt for the World Cup qualifiers against the Solomon Islands in less than a fortnight.

Reid was carted off the field with a calf injury suffered in the warmups before West Ham’s 3-2 English Premier League away loss to Southampton. He had just finalised a six-year contract extension with the club.

Mid Canterbury No. 8 Sam Finau calls for the ball in his side’s 17-26 loss to the West Coast on Saturday.

Hammers silenced

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury’s last hit-out of the season ended in a “disappointing” 17-26 loss to the West Coast in Methven on Saturday.

“I’m pretty disappointed with the result, we didn’t start very well and apart from one try, they all came from our mistakes,” co-coach Craig Dunlea said.

“Defensively we were pretty good most of the time but we just blew opportunity after opportunity. It was poor skills,

things like going in to touch and holding on to the ball too long, we have just got to learn.”

Despite having issues in the first third keeping the ball in hand, once Mid Cantebury were able to keep a hold of the ball, tries came.

“That is the thing, when we played we caused them big issues but we just weren’t able to go over, whether that was dropping the ball or going over in to touch,” he said.

“It is a great thing to be creating so much, if we weren’t

creating that is when you’ve got issues.”

With several big names unavailable, the Hammers had the chance to blood young players like Tom Heywood, Tom Hanham-Carter and Hamish Mackenzie.

“They were outstanding, you’ve got to give them credit for the way they stepped up,” said Dunlea.

“We put Tom (Hanham-Carter) at centre which is a tough place to be and he was devastating and had an outstanding

game. For him to be able to play outside a guy like Regan (King) is an incredible opportunity.”

With less than a week until Mid Canterbury open their Heartland campaign at home to Poverty Bay, Dunlea said the main focus would be getting back to basics, and looking at personal improvements.

“The young guys really put their hands up this weekend but we should hopefully have a few more available for selection next weekend,” Dunlea said.

Rooster escapes NRL ban Sydney Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is set to escape suspension for his late and errant elbow to Wests Tigers five-eighth Tuimoala Lolohea’s head. The New Zealand Test forward has been charged by the match review panel with grade one dangerous contact to the head or neck over the incident during Saturday’s win over the Tigers.

But he can avoid a ban with an early guilty plea, leaving him free to play in the Roosters’ crucial clash with Cronulla on Saturday.

Supercars star Whincup surges in Sydney Jamie Whincup has claimed the record for all-time Supercars wins after running away with yesterday’s race at Sydney Motorsport Park.

His 106th victory, achieved in a largely strategic race, pushed the six-time series winner ahead of long-term teammate and sparring partner Craig Lowndes.

It also bolstered his hopes of a seventh championship after a near-perfect weekend at Eastern Creek.

Whincup followed his Saturday podium with victory ahead

of Fabian Coulthard and Shane Van Gisbergen.

His bumper haul of points reduced his 129-point deficit to series leader Scott McLaughlin to just 12 heading into the endurance races.

McLaughlin finished fourth on Sunday after maintaining his stunning qualifying run.

The 24-year-old claimed his seventh-straight pole to equal Whincup’s all-time best season of 13 poles.

With eight races left, McLaughlin appears certain to set an astonishing new bench-

Rugby legend passes away P17

mark for the sport.

But it couldn’t deliver him a race win in Sydney.

On Saturday, a bump on Van Gisbergen brought a post-race penalty that left him 21st.

The pair duelled again on Sunday, with Van Gisbergen pulling off a divebomb pass on McLaughlin on turn five.

McLaughlin was swamped off the line in the 200km race finding himself fifth at the end of the first lap.

Chaz Mostert jumped out of the blocks to lead, only for Whincup to take control

through a safety car 10 laps later. The veteran was one of the few drivers to pit early in the race, and when Rick Kelly’s tyre blow-up on the main straight brought a yellow flag, Whincup emerged in front.

Van Gisbergen was able to overtake his teammate on lap 29 after Whincup locked up on cold tyres from his second pitstop.

Whincup was let through by Van Gisbergen after car No.88 showed superior pace, sparing the team an ugly confrontation.

Nadal to open Newly crowned world No.1 Rafael Nadal will return to the Brisbane International to prepare for next year’s Australian Open. The Spaniard announced yesterday he would headline the event, which runs from December 31 to January 7, for the second straight year after parlaying his Brisbane form into a run to the final at Melbourne Park in January.

AAP understands tournament director Geoff Quinlan is in talks with several top players to join Nadal, with more announcements expected.
