Firearm laws questioned Botched evidential disclosure and the murky waters of New Zealand’s firearms laws made for a complicated court case in the Ashburton District Court this week.

Richard Lincoln, 56, of Timaru denied charges of unlawfully possessing restricted weapons – a Panther DPMS semi-automatic rifle and a Hatsan Escort 12-gauge

semi-automatic shotgun, and possession of cannabis. He also incurred a charge of obstructing police.

Police alleged the two firearms constitute military style, semiautomatic firearm (MSSA), which require an E-category endorsement on a firearm’s licence.

Defence counsel Michael Starling argued against the charges

on technical grounds and impropriety, concerning the police handling of the case.

Lincoln was travelling through Ashburton on September 17, 2015.

An MSSA firearm, an empty magazine fitted, was stored in the passenger foot well of Lincoln’s vehicle, when he visited a service station and stopped to use the

public toilets in Ashburton shortly after 9am. In accordance with the Arms Code, firearms cannot be left unsecured in a vehicle, therefore Lincoln took the gun with him. Two witnesses called police to report a man carrying a “machine gun”.

Police communications relayed the registration number of his vehicle.

Lincoln was pulled over in an armed stop near Dunsandel by three officers from the Rolleston police station.

He was ordered out of his vehicle and on to his knees on the roadside.

■ AIR POLLUTION

Third breach recorded this year Ashburton has experienced its third winter air pollution night of the year.

A cold front over the weekend had logburners cranking out the heat and on Monday the average concentration of particulate matter in the air was 53 micrograms per cubic metre, higher than the recommended safe levels set at 50.

It was the third air pollution high this year – the others were on May 26 (57) and June 3 (52).

Environment Canterbury says that on a typical winter day in Ashburton, an estimated 93 per cent of emissions come from home heating.

Particulate matter in the Ashburton airshed has been measured since 1999 with the aim of having just one breach by 2020.

The Ashburton airshed or clean air zone relates only to an area around Ashburton town and Tinwald.

There are now rules for new lowemission burners to be installed in

all homes in the Ashburton zone and people are being encouraged to operate burners so they produce little or no visible smoke or switch to heat pumps.

The countdown is currently on for homeowners in the Ashburton urban zone who have logburners older than 15 years of age.

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

Any log fire in that zone older than 15 years must be replaced with an approved low-emission burner. If a consent is not issued

by October 31, that option is off the table; the replacement must be an ultra-low emission burner – more expensive and with less choice.

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

Members of the next generation of Mid Canterbury arable farmers are meeting this afternoon to find out more about the spring management of wheat and ryegrass.

At least 20 members of the Arable Ys group will visit the property of Tinwald farmer Ross Stackhouse at 1.30pm, where

Foundation for Arable Research herbage research manager, Richard Chynoweth, will discuss the early spring management of ryegrass, along with grass grub control in ryegrass, weed identification and weed control.

He will also cover white clover winter weed control and wheat diseases barley yellow dwarf virus and septoria.

Discussion will focus on what

to do in the paddock, including what applications are likely to be most effective.

FAR field research officer Matilda Gunnarsson said Chynoweth will also answer questions on those subjects to make the event as useful and informative as possible.

The group will then visit Quigley Contracting in Tinwald, where Ricky Taylor, gen-

Topics to be covered include sustainable management of soils in cropping systems; managing and manipulating flowering in vegetable seed crops; precision agriculture and cereals; continued access to agrichemicals for New Zealand crops; and seed-borne ramularia in barley.

There will also be an afternoon of field visits and a conference dinner.

eral manager operations, will talk about Quigley’s contracting business and the machinery it uses.

Next week FAR’s 2017 conference, Growing Sustainable Futures, is to be held at Lincoln University. The conference, on June 29-30, will include four research sessions: future farming, farm systems, agronomy and weeds, and pests and diseases.

Schools’ music festival on again

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Young talent from throughout Mid Canterbury is being showcased this week at the Heartland Music Festival.

The festival kicked off last night at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, and it has another two nights to go.

Administrator Fiona Maw said the long-running annual event was often a sell-out, and this time round was proving no different as audiences flocked to see the top quality choral performances.

There were still tickets available however, and she urged anyone wanting to see any of the shows to be in quick.

She said it was not only families and friends of the children involved who attended, but also people from the wider community.

“It touches people to hear children sing,” she said.

Last night’s show featured the schools of Allenton, Ashburton Borough, Wakanui and Ashburton Intermediate. Rasta Monkey from Wayne’s School of Rock performed, and soloists were Esme Heffernan and Henrietta Harford. Massed choir items are performed each night and the district’s top young voices entertain in the representative choir.

Musicians performing include

Tonight schools including Mayfield, Netherby, Ashburton Christian School, Borough, and St Joseph’s perform. Ashburton College’s Phoenix Chorus will also take to the stage, and soloists

soloists will be Rebecca Brown and Kasey Higson.

Maw said the festival always showcased amazing talent, and many who had appeared in the past had gone on to carve out careers in music.

MPI funds a managed aquifer recharge pilot in Gisborne The Ministry for Primary Industries is helping fund a managed aquifer recharge pilot in Gisborne, following success with the same technology in Mid Canterbury.

Minister Nathan Guy said the Makauri aquifer near Gisborne was crucial to the local economy and lack of water was holding

“The technology to recharge aquifers has been successfully used overseas and we are starting to invest in this in New Zealand, such as the Hinds/Hekeao MAR project in Mid Canterbury,” Guy said when officially starting the Gisborne trial yesterday.

Mid Canterbury’s MAR at Lagmhor involves putting water

The Makauri MAR (managed aquifer recharge) will receive $250,000 from the MPI’s irrigation acceleration fund and is also co-funded by the Gisborne District Council and the Eastland Community Trust.

Firearm laws questioned From P1 Through the vehicle window, constable Matthew Savage noticed a “large military rifle with a magazine attached” in the front.

Constable James Manning gave evidence of Lincoln becoming obstructive and aggressive. Lincoln was subsequently arrested for intentional obstruction, and taken to Ashburton Police Station.

There were concerns about his mental health and expert advice was sought. However, there was no confirmation of any issues and the formal interview went ahead.

Sergeant Greg Sutherland was dispatched to check on Lincoln’s Timaru address. After knocking on the door, Sutherland looked through a window and saw what he thought was possibly a body in a living area.

By this time Lincoln had been arrested and via a phone call Sutherland was told what he was looking at was a pile of clothing. However, he decided to break a window and check. Having confirmed no one was in the dwelling he left.

Lincoln reluctantly agreed to surrender all firearms in his possession.

A warranted search of his Timaru property then took place.

Sutherland gave evidence of finding the unsecured pump action shotgun under a mattress, and four 12-gauge cartridges and a waist belt containing ammunition.

A cache of ammunition was also found in a wardrobe and a loaded magazine in the living room. More ammunition was discovered in a gun safe in a house bus on site.

A search of the garage revealed 12gms of what police alleged was cannabis and utensils.

He was not charged in relation to the E-category firearm he had in his vehicle at the time of his arrest, as it was correctly licenced.

Judge Joanna Maze reserved her decision and remanded Lincoln at large until July 3.

Keas up to usual tricks at Mt Hutt

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

About half a dozen kea have arrived at Mt Hutt for the ski season, and are once again up to their usual tricks.

But the amusement of the birds belies an insidious truth – numbers of the species are declining and their antics at skifields may one day be just a memory.

Kea Conservation Trust chairwoman Tamsin Orr-Walker said populations at skifields gave a false representation of the general population status of the bird.

They were attracted by human activity, but in the wider environment they were victims of introduced predators such as stoats, ferrets and feral cats.

Females in particular were vulnerable while they sat on nests.

Orr-Walker welcomed a report by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Jan Wright last month alerting of a third of New Zealand’s birds being in danger of becoming extinct, including the kea.

“To let kea disappear on our watch would be an absolute tragedy,” Orr-Walker said.

While she applauded government’s Predator Free 2050 initiative, more work was needed

in the short term specifically for endangered species.

For the Mt Hutt birds, little was known about them. There could be a couple of resident breeding pairs among the flock, and there could be others from the wider catchment area, even as far as 450 kilometres away, as that was how far the birds travelled.

Kea were a long lived species and what was seen to happen in many areas was that a population could be resident for a long period of time and then all of a sudden disappear as birds died off, and there were no younger birds to replace them.

Besides predation, other threats to the species was lead poisoning and interaction with objects such as traps. People are advised not to feed the birds.

Orr-Walker thanked skifields including Mt Hutt, from which the trust received several thousand dollars in donations each year, adding to tens of thousands from nine individual community projects throughout the South Island.

Mt Hutt manager James McKenzie said up to $1000 was raised from donation boxes at the skifield each winter.

The birds were much loved despite their destructive nature,

Shortly after they arrived back at the skifield late last month they temporarily stranded staff when one removed the keys from a quad bike during repairs to the snow-making line on the inter-

national ski run. After much intensive searching the keys were eventually recovered on the ground nearby.

And last year one bird would often feign a limp to get into the warmth of the maintenance workshop. As soon as it was hur-

ried outside it would become obvious that its leg was fine.

“They are a bit of a joker of a bird,” McKenzie said.

“We haven’t had any complaints about keas really, people accept them for what they are,” McKenzie said.

■ MID CANTERBURY HUNTING COMPETITION

Quad bike prize a big attraction

BY COLIN WILLISCROFT

COLIN.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A shot at winning a brand new quad bike was behind an increase in interest in the 10th Mid Canterbury Hunting Competition held over the weekend, according to organisers.

About 240 hunters took part in the event, which was up on previous years, something organiser Andy Wilson said was probably due to all adult hunters entered being in a draw to win a Polaris 4x4, a prize that had not been offered before.

“It certainly attracted a bit of interest,” he said.

The number of animals killed during the competition was also up.

“There were lots of animals: more red stags and fallows than usual – there seem to be plenty of those around right now. Pigs and wallabies were on a par with past years, but there were a few more tahr and chamois.”

Most of the hunters came from around the Mid to

South Canterbury area, Wilson said, although some travelled from as far south as Tuatapere and Invercargill, while others came over from the West Coast. There were also a couple from around Nelson/Blenheim.

Wilson said there was a good mix of ages taking part, with quite a few juniors getting involved. The number of hunters in the women’s section was also up on previous years.

Those taking part were blessed with relatively fine weather during the competition, which began at midnight on Thursday and went through until the weigh-in on Sunday at the Hotel Ashburton car park between 11am and 2.30pm.

Money raised from the annual event goes to the Methven and Rakaia search and rescue teams, each team taking it in turns to receive money. This year it was Rakaia’s turn to benefit, with the team there receiving $1000 to put towards its work.

■ BUSINESS MID CANTERBURY

Politicians put under the spotlight

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

What is the best political party for Mid Canterbury businesses to vote for in the upcoming election?

This is the question being considered by (BMC) members as they host candidates in the lead up to polling day in three months’ time.

First to address members at the organisation’s monthly breakfast meeting this week was Labour candidate for Rangitata Jo Luxton. She will be followed by National candidate Andrew Falloon next month.

Luxton addressed a small group of about eight at the meeting at Reflections on Tuesday, including mayor Donna Favel.

Luxton said a little about her past as a single mum of three, once on a benefit and relying on

a food bank, before studying early childhood and establishing her childcare centre at Hinds.

She touched on a range of policies promoted by her party and there was much discussion among the group, with topics ranging from education to immigration, and youth crime to wage rates.

Some of Labour’s policies were more popular than others with the small audience.

For the party’s idea of a careers advisor in every school, there was a query as where such staff were going to come from, and a suggestion that specialised recruitment personnel contracted to schools could be a better idea.

Labour’s commitment to installing 1000 new frontline police, and A Young Entrepreneurs’ plan for 18 to 23 year olds, were relatively well received.

Labour candidate for Rangitata Jo Luxton addresses a Business Mid Canterbury (BMC) breakfast meeting this week. She is flanked by Stephanie Collins of Ara and Carl Gourdie of Total Lubricants, with BMC administrator Nicole Jackson in the foreground.

Local wetland popular with indigenous species A wetland near Tinwald is being restored to its former glory thanks to the enthusiasm of a local landowner and funding support from the Ashburton Water Zone Committee.

The regeneration project is located near a spring creek and wetland area which feeds in to the Ashburton River. Over the past few years it has been transformed and native flora and fauna are starting to thrive as weeds are cleared and natives are planted.

Visitors to the wetland have included pukeko, kingfisher, spoonbill, Canterbury Galaxiids, and eel.

■ YOUTH COURT CHRISTCHURCH

Boxing Day crash: Driver sentenced take Drost’s mum’s car driving.

Sammy and the boy pushed the Nissan Tiida out of the driveway to avoid being detected and drove off to pick up the other three friends.

By 12.30am on Boxing Day, they had collected the other passengers who had also snuck out of their family homes.They went to a country camping ground in the Selwyn district outside Christchurch where there was an altercation with two older men.

It was described as a “frightening experience”, the court heard yesterday, and they sped off in the car, believing that someone – possibly the men – were following them. It’s understood that the car had been travelling at 111km/h on Harts Road when it hit a grassy mound, which launched the car across Southbridge-Sedgemere Road into a macrocarpa hedge.

Only the driver and another boy survived. They were the only ones wearing seatbelts.

The boy’s family were in court yesterday, along with members of the victims’ families.

Sammy’s mother read out a victim impact statement where she said she had no anger for the

Lily Moore young driver. The loss of her lovely, funny and happy boy goes beyond comprehension some days, she said. She was confident he’d grow up and make her proud.

The grieving mother doubts her pain will ever go away, but she carries on, in part, because of the driver who she has since got

to know well. They communicate daily and Drost says he is a “kind boy with a good heart” who has had to “grow up fast under a huge burden of guilt”.

She says he has never tried to shift blame and she holds no anger towards him.

“It’s just sad,” she said.

The other survivor of the crash also doesn’t feel anger, only sadness. He told the court that he is “disappointed in all of us for making such a stupid decision”.

Being teenagers, they just didn’t think of the consequences of their actions, he said. “I’d do anything for those three wonderful people to be here today.”

He hoped others would learn from their mistakes.

Judge Jane McMeeken sentenced the young driver to what was described as an informal social worker’s plan. He has to pay $1000 to the rescue helicopter trust, $1000 to St John, be disqualified from driving for at least 12 months once he turns 16, and to “engage in therapeutic intervention”.

The judge gave the boy 12 months to make at least 10 presentations to schools, youth groups, or small youth community groups about the crash, what led to it, and its aftermath.

She said it would not be easy for him, but added: “If anything good comes out of this tragedy, it’ll be the prevention of something similar occurring”.

An under-age driver who caused a Boxing Day car crash that killed three of his friends has been ordered by a judge to give talks to schools and youth groups to “try and prevent a tragedy like this ever happening again”.

Cole Troy Christensen-Hull, Samuel “Sammy” James Drost, and Lily Frances Moore – all 15-year-olds from Canterbury – died when a car they were passengers in failed to take a corner and crashed into trees on Southbridge-Sedgemere Road, near Leeston, in the early hours of December 26 last year.

The unlicensed 14-year-old driver, who was badly hurt in the crash and cannot be named for legal reasons, earlier pleaded guilty to three charges of dangerous driving causing death and one count of dangerous driving causing injury at the Youth Court in Christchurch.

A fifth person in the car – the only one wearing a seatbelt – managed to flag down a passing motorist who phoned emergency services.

The court heard how the five friends all planned on Christmas Day to sneak out that night and

Former press secretary Rachel MacGregor has filed a lawsuit against Colin Craig.

MacGregor is counter-suing Craig and filed papers in the High Court at Auckland yesterday.

It is understood those papers have been served on Craig.

The former Conservative Party leader filed defamation proceedings against her in November 2016.

MacGregor was never served and only learned of Craig’s legal move through media this week.

As a result, she has taken her own legal action.

“When media alerted me that Mr Craig had sued me I sought legal advice,” she said last night.

“That advice was that I needed to file a document by today in order to protect my legal position.

“I will not be commenting further at this stage as the matter is before the court.”

MacGregor resigned two days before the election in 2014, and made a sexual harassment complaint against Craig.

She later received an out-of-court settlement.

Craig is currently suing Whale Oil blogger Cameron Slater for allegedly defaming

him in posts about sexual allegations involving MacGregor.

The case was heard at the High Court at Auckland, with the judge’s decision still reserved.

Slater is counter-suing Craig for defamation over claims made in a booklet called Dirty Politics, which was distributed to 1.6 million homes.

Last week Radio New Zealand reported that Craig was planning to sue MacGregor for defamation if he lost the case against Whale Oil. But Craig denied that report, saying he had “historically” considered suing MacGregor but decided against it.

In response MacGregor said she had been advised that Craig’s “failure” to serve those proceedings on her or her lawyers for several months was a breach of the High Court rules.

“It is unclear to me why Mr Craig would want to file proceedings but not give me notice of them.

“I strongly believe Mr Craig’s claim against me is an abuse of process.

“I would like to get on with my life.”

MacGregor invited Craig to “put an end” to the saga by withdrawing the proceedings.

Tyre slasher argues against jail A man found guilty of vigilante tyre slashing wants out of jail, and to get home detention instead.

David Francis Johns, 53, was given 22 months jail for puncturing the tyres of more than 100 cars parked in the streets around Wellington airport.

Police estimate the true number could be closer to 300, and it’s believed he caused around $20,000 of damage, by walking the streets puncturing tyres with a sharpened screwdriver.

He’s now lodged an appeal at the High Court in Wellington, with his lawyer arguing his actions were more than vigilantism, and were also motivated by worries for community safety.

The judge has reserved his decision on the appeal.

In sentencing Johns in April, Judge Tim Black said he didn’t believe Johns was remorseful.

He cited evidence where Johns told a psychologist he was proud of his actions, and

saw himself as a vigilante.

“Vigilante action will be met with a stern response from the court, people are not entitled to take the law into their own hands,” Black said.

The streets near Wellington Airport are often crowded with cars, which has led to an ongoing feud between residents and those trying to avoid paying for airport parking.

Johns was caught by police during a plainclothes operation early in the morning on January 26.

Just after six in morning he was seen driving to Miro Street, parking his vehicle, stabbing the left tyre of a car parked on the street, then moving on to do the same thing to five others in the immediate area.

On the day he was arrested he had broken rules he had set for himself, to not go out after 6am and only in bad weather, to avoid being caught.

When he was arrested he admitted puncturing tyres in the area on numerous occasions over the previous six months. - NZME

■ PORTUGAL

Fire death toll to rise Portugal’s prime minister says the death toll in the country’s deadliest wildfire in memory is likely to rise.

Prime Minister Antonio Costa said yesterday that 61 deaths are confirmed but, “for sure, we are going to find some more victims”.

The wind-fuelled blaze swept through the area around Pedrogao Grande, a town 150 kilometres northeast of Lisbon.

Authorities say police are looking for bodies among the numerous isolated houses in the hills around Pedrogao Grande, which are thick with pine and eucalyptus forests.

Interior Minister Constanca Urbano de Sousa says “extremely adverse” weather conditions are preventing the fire being contained.

Giant clouds of smoke punctuated the horizon as the sun set.

Strong winds, temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius and tinder-dry forests have fuelled the fire, which started Saturday.

Officials say reinforcements, including more firefighters, water-dumping planes and army units, were due to arrive today.

Many of the victims died as they tried to flee the fire north-

Portugal’s national soccer team is wearing black arm bands and has stood for a

moment of silence with the Mexican team in solidarity with the country’s forest fire victims.

The ceremony took place before the teams’ match Sunday at the Confederations Cup tournament being played in Kazan, Russia.

Coach Fernando Santos, Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the players released a statement saying “in this sad hour, we send our deepest sympathies to the families, friends and loved ones of the victims of the fires”.

Greece’s prime minister has offered his Portuguese colleague Antonio Costa help in fighting the deadly wildfires.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called Costa yesterday afternoon to offer his condolences for the victims of the forest fire and to offer the support of the Greek people.

His statement says Tsipras “also emphasised that Greece will offer any help necessary to fight the fires.”

Greece experienced its deadliest fires a decade ago.

From June to September 2007, 84 people died in Greek wildfires, including 67 in a blaze that torched 1500 square kilometres (370,000 acres) of forest and farmland in southern Greece.

Temperatures in the area have hit 40 degrees Celsius in recent days.

Low-paid superhero Wonder Woman has been widely praised as a great movie, and Gal Gadot has been lauded for her portrayal of the feminist heroine. But the star of one of the biggest films of the year didn’t really make all that much out of it. According to Decider, Gal Gadot made just $415,000 for her starring role as Wonder Woman.

In contrast, Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. managed to negotiate his pay day up to around $55 million for Captain America: Civil War, Decider reports. And Superman Henry Cavill reportedly earned $19 million for his role in Man of Steel.

Alleged mosque attacker ‘psycho’ The Finsbury Park terror suspect has been described as being a “bloody psycho” who was thrown out of a pub on Saturday night after “cursing Muslims” and vowing to “do some damage”.

Father-of-four Darren Osborne, 47, was named as the man accused of ploughing a

van into Muslim worshippers in the early hours of Monday morning.

It is alleged that Osborne hired a van from South Wales before driving to the Muslim Welfare House in north London.

There, he is accused of mounting the pavement just yards

from the Finsbury Mosque and mowing down a group of British Muslims who had been helping an unwell man.

Witnesses say that, after the attack, he shouted “I’m going to kill all Muslims – I did my bit” as he was restrained by members of the community.

His mother Christine Os-

borne has slammed the attack and described it as being an “atrocity” while his sister said “sorry” for what has happened.

It comes as regulars at his local pub described Osborne being “drunk” the night before the attack. One said: “He was cursing Muslims and saying he would do some damage.” - PA

Justin Bieber has vowed he will “never again” go to prison. The 23-year-old singer has had a few run-ins with the law, and after taking to Instagram yesterday to share two mugshots from his 2014 arrest in Miami, Florida, the star has vowed he will now stay on the right path as jail “is not a cool place to be”. The Sorry singer captioned the Instagram post: “Mugshot #jailsnotacoolplacetobe, #notfun#neveragain (sic)” Justin faced multiple charges when he was arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), resisting arrest, and driving with a suspended licence when he was caught drag racing in Miami Beach in a yellow Lamborghini three years ago.

Govt not keen on tourist levy

By Sophie Boot The Government remains unconvinced on the merits of a tourist levy, with fears it could “turn off the tap” on New Zealand’s largest export earner as Chinese tourist numbers drop.

At parliament’s commerce select committee on Monday, Tourism Minister Paula Bennett said central government had already stepped into new areas of funding such as carparking and footpaths in recognition of the importance of tourism to regional growth, but that a further levy was unlikely.

“I do seriously worry about the cost of getting to New Zealand, and some of our Chinese travel agents will say a package to New Zealand is more expensive than to Melbourne or to some places in Europe,” Bennett said. “That’s

fine, I don’t mind us being expensive, but that doesn’t mean our standards are always the same. If that tap went off, that would literally lose jobs.”

Ministry for Business, Employment and Innovation figures show Chinese tourism was worth $1.45 billion in the year to March 31, down 17 per cent on a year earlier.

The median Chinese tourist spent $3000 while here, 18 per cent less than a year earlier.

Tourism Board chairwoman Kerry Prendergast told the committee that Chinese tourism had dropped off “significantly” in the past year. The Government is watching for the outcomes of deals made by the Chinese Government with Canada and Australia to promote tourism into those two countries ahead of 2019 when New Zealand’s memoran-

dum of understanding with China kicks in, she said.

Bennett said tourist hotspot Queenstown “cries out” for a bed tax, which would require government permission, but it would be “incredibly confusing” for tourists if there were varying levies around the country. There were also complexities with distributing funds from any tourist levies, she said.

Auckland Council introduced a targeted rate on accommodation providers this month, which it plans to use to fund the council agency Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development for tourism promotion and events sponsorship.

The cruise industry is also unhappy, Bennett said, with major operators refusing to book beyond the end of 2018 as they don’t feel there is sufficient investment

in port infrastructure.

“Cruise was down, not significantly, but enough that if we don’t invest in it, we are going to lose them,” Bennett said. “The cruise ships we want the most are the ones that deploy from Auckland – they fly into Auckland, they stay the night in a hotel and spend some money in the city, and the ships get loaded up with our wonderful produce and wine.

“They’re not doing that at the same numbers that we want them to, and they’ve said to me, ‘we’re not sure that you’re serious about wanting cruise here if you’re not willing to invest in the infrastructure we need’. I think we’ve got some big challenges there.”

NZ structural log prices hit high By tina MorriSon New Zealand structural log prices have hit their highest level in more than two decades as local mills compete with the export market to secure supply to meet demand from the domestic market.

The price for structural S1 logs lifted to $124 a tonne this month from $123 a tonne last month and $114 a tonne at the same time last year, reaching the highest price for the grade since April 1994, according to AgriHQ’s monthly survey of exporters, forest owners and saw millers.

“The New Zealand domestic log market has slowly but consistently risen this year, and the past month was no different,” AgriHQ analyst Reece Brick said in his report.

“Supply and demand fundamentals remain skewed in favour of sellers rather than buyers, squeezing even more returns out of harvested logs.”

The market remains strong for most segments of the domestic industry, even as the volumes traded slowed when winter weather stymied construction activity, Ag-

riHQ said, noting that local wood supply had been hampered due to difficulties harvesting in wet weather. While strength in the local housing market is helping stoke demand, the main driver behind higher domestic prices is that export markets are draining supplies out of New Zealand, the report said.

“Domestic mills are in a tugof-war with export log traders for unpruned logs and are facing the prospect of further hikes in log procurement costs,” Brick said. “A large portion of mills are still paying below the export market for logs. Log suppliers are currently attempting to gauge mills’ ability to absorb higher log prices.

“All signs suggest more increases are on the cards.”

Prices in the log market are heavily reliant on Chinese demand, which is expected to hold in the medium term after the Chinese government introduced restrictions on logging native forests and reduced tariffs on imported logs to 11 per cent from 13 per cent to discourage the use of native wood, AgriHQ said. Other ma-

jor markets including India, Japan and South Korea are also looking positive, the report said.

“The export log trade has only improved, though not drastically,” Brick said. “Key components of the wharfgate log price either held their ground or improved through May and early June.”

New Zealand exported 1,666,639 cubic metres of logs in April, up 3 per cent on March volumes and 21 per cent higher than a year earlier.

Some 72 per cent of the volume was exported to China.

“The volume exported in April is one of the largest amounts exported in the last 10 years and is only surpassed by August 2016,” Brick said.

The value of log exports is expected to climb to $2.66 billion this year from $2.22 billion last year and reach $3.14 billion in 2021, according to the latest Situation and Outlook for Primary Industries published by the Ministry for Primary Industries last week.

Forest products are New Zealand’s third-largest commodity export group behind dairy and meat products.

OUR VIEW

Good news from our council this week Matt Markham

ACTING EDITOR

G

ood news and local government aren’t usually a combination you’ll find standing hand in hand too often.

Negativity tends to follow district councils around like a bit of a bad smell, no matter what amount of good work might be coming from within its walls.

This week in Ashburton though, the combination has been somewhat of a match made in heaven for many local motorists after a change in the way that they issue parking infringement notices to vehicles with expired registrations.

The announcement from the Ashburton District Council that it was to increase the warning period for those parking in the Ashburton CBD with expired car registrations, will have come as a welcome one and a positive step forward for the council when it comes to community relations.

There will be many people out there in the district who have suffered the fate of finding a $200 ticket attached to their windscreen wiper because they have forgotten their registration was due to expire.

It’s a hefty bill for what is a rather minor mistake and offence and, with living costs rising and more and more families struggling to make it through the average day, an extended grace period will be a nice change from normal.

The changes, which come into effect on June 26, will see drivers with an expired registration of less than 28 days given a warning, while those who have been expired for longer than the grace period will receive an infringement notice.

The rule will also stretch to a car’s warrant of fitness as well with the same month of notice being applied.

At a time when it can be easy to criticise those charged with running our community, decisions like this – for whatever reason – are welcome ones and there can only be positive comments flowing the way of the Ashburton District Council for their announcement this week.

And doesn’t that make a nice change every once in a while?

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK

T

here has been continued agreement from within the community this week that we, the Ashburton District, are paying too much when it comes to rental prices in the region.

As prices continue to plummet around us, we are holding steady.

A third of those who have voted in our poll, however, feel that our prices reflect the region and they are happy with their current position, so it’s not all cut and dried.

We want to hear some of the stories out there, both from the positive and the negative and also from either renters or landlords, so please, do leave a comment on our Facebook Page or flick us a message.

This is your region and we want to know what you are thinking and feeling about topics that matter to you.

The Ashburton District Council’s announcement on Monday that they were making changes to the way that parking infringements for expired registrations were issued drew plenty of discussion. Below are some of the comments from the Ashburton Guardian Facebook page.

Welcoming communities O

ver the past year, the Ashburton District Council has worked on several initiatives, including the highly successful Start With a Smile Campaign, to make our region a more welcoming place for all newcomers to live, work and play.

It has been important to us as a district and to wider Canterbury as part of our council’s obligations in leading the Newcomer and Migrant Settlement Support Programme, under the Canterbury Regional Economic Development Strategy.

I am excited to announce that our commitment has now been recognised by Immigration New Zealand, which has selected Ashburton and Selwyn

Donna Favel

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

districts to represent Canterbury on its Welcoming Communities programme – a two-year pilot project that will begin in July 2017.

To establish Welcoming Communities, Immigration New Zealand is working in partnership with the Office of Ethnic Communities, with support from the Human Rights Commission.

Aside from Canterbury, other regions that Immigration New

Zealand is funding to take part in the pilot programme include Tauranga/Western Bay of Plenty, Southland, Whanganui and Palmerston North. Each region will be funded $50,000 each year for two years to deliver the pilot.

The aim of the Welcoming Communities programme is to support New Zealand communities to become more welcoming to newcomers and actively seeks to mobilise and involve them in welcoming activities.

One of its key features is to provide regions with the opportunity to become accredited as a Welcoming Community. The benefits of this accreditation are far reaching, with research showing that more welcoming places have distinct advantages over

those that are seen as unwelcoming to newcomers.

I am excited to see how we can use Welcoming Communities to build on the great work that has already been done as part of the Canterbury Regional Economic Development Strategy. In today’s world, it is vitally important that we build strong, cohesive communities that are welcoming to everyone.

Our council will soon be advertising for a new community development adviser to lead the project locally over the two-year pilot period. To find out more about the role keep an eye on the website www.adc.govt.nz

Is this the real reason for high empty rates?

In response to a story published in Ashburton Guardian, June 1, 2016 (High Empty Rate, P11) Barbara Cornelius writes the following opinion piece – Daisy’s Story (Daisy is one of the 20 to 40 per cent of empties).

H

i, just a heads up about empty rates in dairy cows, a story about me, I am Daisy, one of those 20 to 40 per cent of cows not in calf.

I will start at the beginning.

I was born, didn’t get a feed from my mother, it was all plugged up with teat seal, I was picked up, put in a shed, fed nice milk for a couple of days, then things turned nasty.

I was fed once a day from then on, battling with everybody else, I was underweight, hungry most of the time, the hay and pellets gone by the time I got there.

Days turn into weeks.

Then you are put in a paddock to eat grass.

There is always a fence up and never enough to eat. I did grow into a heifer, although a small one, then I had a calf, I didn’t get to feed it.

Now its poor life is starting in the shed. Then, the season of milking started, my hormones were a bit slow, I was thin and I had the life milked out of me.

Then A (CIDRS) was in, boy o boy.

I did get in calf, but was milked just about to the end of my life.

More food would have been good, then dry off, it’s cold, I am thin. If I was a human I’d be in hospital with anorexia, warm and with lots of food. But no, I’m

out in the cold; you might get kale, or maybe fodderbeet.

Fodderbeet would be the worst thing for a cow to eat. It really mucks up my system.

Kale is somewhat better, but also with some grass, silage and straw, things aren’t too bad, if you are lucky.

Then it rains. It’s cold, mud up to your knees, not a lot more to eat, calf inside growing, I’m trying to keep warm.

The break from milking is just eight to 10 weeks, if you are lucky. It’s just a different nightmare life-draining exercise, then another calf is born.

This is my life year in, year out.

My body has had enough.

How can it be my fault I am not carrying a calf this year?

I have at times looked over

next door and wondered if life is better over there. Not likely.

SOME farmers need to look after their stock a lot better than they are.

Feed is at the top of the list. It’s time to consider the cow, a lot of farms have the stocking rate far too high.

Cut numbers back and look after every cow, we will do better and so will you.

The old cow has become the beast of burden and the banks’ security.

What does the bank manager think with 20 to 40 per cent of his security going down the tubes?

It’s time to get a heart and show a bit of empathy. You don’t need to be the richest farmer in town. On your yearly holiday, did you eat only cabbage and

Weetbix for eight to 10 weeks? It’s worth thinking about.

You, as farmers, are the only ones who can change how your cows perform.

By looking after them better, you wouldn’t have a 20 to 40 per cent empty rate It all starts right back at the beginning with your calves. A well-raised calf will be a better performing cow, if fed correctly every day of its life.

Don’t blame the cow or weather, it rests entirely on your shoulders.

Start changing the way you farm. Do it better.

If times are tough, forgo the overseas trip, new truck, boat and keep feeding your stock. It’s not the cow’s fault prices drop.

You put us in a paddock, it’s your job to feed us properly. It shouldn’t be the cow that goes hungry because your debt is too high, it shouldn’t come off the cow’s back. Don’t farm stock if you can’t get it right.

If you’d looked after me from the beginning, I would have been able to look after you.

It takes the both of us to make a good dairy farm work.

I’m quite sure you wouldn’t need as many trucks to take away the empties.

Considering the life I have had, the cull truck is a good way out of the hell I have been through.

The nightmare is coming to an end. I did try my best.

Come on you farmers, start getting things right. You have to do better.

Stop trotting out an endless list of excuses (the weather, really!)

From an old cow who knows, Regards, Daisy.

Note: I have farmed most of my life. Cows and deer. I have seen it, lived it. I know.

In brief Read a starter Ink in All Blacks captain Kieran Read to lead his team out against the Lions at Eden Park on Saturday night. Read has been sidelined by a broken thumb and his last game for the Crusaders was in Bloemfontein on April 30. He has trained well, according to assistant coach Ian Foster, who did all but confirm Read will start the first test. “We’re pretty satisfied,” Foster said yesterday.

Waikato sign Guildford Waikato have handed an NPC contract to Zac Guildford, marking a return to first class rugby for the former All Blacks winger. Guildford earned the deal on the back of impressive performances this year for the Waikato sevens team and at club level. The 28-year-old, who has a chequered off-field history due to alcohol-related issues, hasn’t played at first class level since a Super Rugby campaign with the Waratahs last year. - NZME Both Celtic and Hampstead picked up victories in the latest round of Mid Canterbury’s Senior B rugby competition.

Southern men in control

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

Southern have kept their unbeaten run at the top of the Centennial Mug standings going, while Rakaia still hunt for their first win in Mid Canterbury’s senior B rugby grade.

Southern picked up their fourth win in the competition,

taking down sixth placed Methven in a relatively low-scoring game, 19-12.

Second-placed Mt Somers kept the pressure on leaders Southern after picking up a 35-24 win against last placed Rakaia.

After being thumped 17-42 in the second round by Mt Somers, Hampstead have not looked

back, sending a message of intent after rolling over Allenton 50-21.

They now sit only one point behind second placed Mt Somers, and five points behind Southern.

Fourth-placed Celtic bounced back from a 35-24 point loss to Hampstead last week with a 2619 win against seventh placed Collegiate.

Next week, Hampstead will have the opportunity to upset the apple-cart as they take on Southern in Hinds, while Rakaia can have a crack at picking up that elusive win as they face Celtic.

Allenton will host Collegiate and Methven will take the short hop to play Mt Somers.

O’Mahony emerges as likely test skipper Peter O’Mahony, the Ireland flanker, has surfaced as the leading contender to captain the British and Irish Lions in the opening Test match against the All Blacks on Saturday as his leadership skills were endorsed by assistant coach Andy Farrell.

O’Mahony looked to have sealed his place in the starting

back row to face New Zealand at Eden Park after captaining the Lions to an impressive victory over the Maori All Blacks.

Lions tour captain Sam Warburton struggling to displace Sean O’Brien, who also started against the Maori side, from the openside flanker position after a lack of game because of a knee

injury, Farrell said on Monday he would be “more than comfortable” if the 27 year-old Cork man was given the job.

“To be honest, it’d be the easiest team to captain because there are so many leaders out there,” Farrell said. “What the guys who have captained the side so far have realised is they don’t have

to be vocal all the time, because there’s always people that’s helping them out.”

Significantly, Warren Gatland has been impressed by O’Mahony’s “Munster mongrel” warrior spirit during the tour, and it may be enough to convince the Lions head coach he is the right man to lead the Test side.- NZME

Baby Blacks all the way Tim Farrell knew his team was going to win rugby’s under-20 World Championship a fortnight ago.

The Baby Blacks prop who was forced out of the tournament with an ankle injury suffered in the first game revealed his inkling shortly after watching delayed television coverage of the Craig Philpottcoached team’s 64-17 demolition job on defending champions England in the final. “We were a bit nervous going into the Italy game because they had upset Ireland.

But once we beat Italy there was no doubt we would win the tournament,” Farrell said. - NZME

ABs seek improvement It’s fair to say the All Blacks played reasonably well in their 12-try thrashing of Samoa. But they’ll have to be even better, performance-wise, to topple the Lions this weekend, second-rower Brodie Retallick says. The rangy lock put in a full 80-minute performance at Eden Park, including 17 minutes as stand-in captain. Despite the scoreline, Retallick said his side had plenty to work on ahead of Saturday, with the Samoans and the Lions poles apart. “They play the game maybe slightly differently to an Australian or South African team, but that’s what rugby’s all about.

Lions great at trackwork Tall tales and colourful banter is the norm at racecourse gaps around the country, but Cambridge trainers might have reason to take that to a new level after a trackwork visit from Scottish rugby great Gavin Hastings yesterday.

Hastings, who captained the British and Irish Lions on their 1993 tour of New Zealand and

M2

meet Gavin Hastings at the track this morning and the visit brought back some fond memories of playing the video game Jonah Lomu Rugby.

“It was quite uncanny. Me and my brothers grew up playing that game and Gavin Hastings was a prominent figure in that,” Forsman said. “He was a person I grew up

played 61 tests for Scotland, was in the Waikato for the Lions game against the Chiefs in Hamilton last night and took the opportunity to attend trackwork.

Among the trainers to enjoy Hastings’ company were the top training partnership of Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman.

Forsman tweeted: “An honour to

with and a name I grew up hearing and watching so it was quite uncanny to meet him.”

Forsman said Hastings had a warning for New Zealand supporters who think the Lions will be a walkover for the rest of the tour.

“He thinks Gatland has got a few things up his sleeve and that the Lions won’t be a push over.” - NZME

In brief

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Blues need spirit of 2014

By Matt Encarnacion NSW have been urged to draw on the spirit of their 2014 team that denied the all-conquering Queenslanders from extending their dynasty to 12 series wins in a row.

As the Blues attempt to claim a series victory in Origin II, forward Wade Graham recalled the famous defensive effort needed to steal the shield three years ago.

Like their current situation, NSW upset the Maroons in game one at Suncorp Stadium before heading back to Sydney to wrap up the series.

The Cronulla star was 18th man for the Blues at the time, and admits the image of then skipper Paul Gallen embracing coach Laurie Daley is etched into his memory.

“I was lucky enough to come in for game two, so I got to be amongst it.

“I wouldn’t say I felt a part of it, but I was there and seen how much it meant to the players,” Graham said.

“Especially those who suffered at their hands for a few years – Paul Gallen, Luke Lewis, Beau Scott, Ryan Hoffman ... all them sort of guys.”

The triumphant breakthrough is famously remembered for the Blues’ defensive wall in both games, including the brave ef-

Kiwi league star Shaun KennyDowall has been given a 12 month good behaviour bond after pleading guilty to cocaine possession.

The former Kiwis and Roosters NRL player appeared in court in Sydney today after being arrested at nightclub last month with .29 of a gram of the drug. Kenny-Dowall was released from the Roosters earlier this month.

Scott out for season The toll from Parramatta’s win over St George Illawarra has worsened, with co-captain Beau Scott ruled out for the rest of the NRL season.

A day after confirming hooker Kaysa Pritchard would require seasonending knee surgery, the Eels said Scott had a ruptured bicep. Backrower Scott, who came off midway through Sunday’s 24-10 win over the Dragons, will also have surgery and is expected to return to training in pre- season.

Nerves for Tamou Paul Gallen (left) and Laurie Daley have seen plenty of Origin action together. forts of Brett and Josh Morris to play through injury in Origin I. The Blues then stonewalled Queensland 6-4 in a game two side that is only survived by trio Aaron Woods, Josh Dugan, and Jarryd Hayne this year.

“I remember seeing Loz and Gal after (game two) hugging and just to see how much it physically meant to there, I was very grateful to be there that night and experience it,” he said.

Graham hailed the efforts of their predecessors against a Maroons’ whitewash of stars who have dominated the interstate rivalry for the past decade.

Only five times in the 36 games during Queensland’s reign have the Blues lost by more than 10 points – and he challenged his teammates to keep Queensland out again tonight.

“It’s the greatest team ever really, when you think about it,” Gra-

ham said. “Although they won all them series, they were always tight contests.

“Apart from a couple of games here and there, the NSW team always showed up and put in their best effort.

“The biggest thing is the opportunity that’s in front of us and making sure we try and make the most of it because these opportunities don’t come along very often.”

If you’re good enough, you’re old enough

By LainE cLark The way Cameron Smith sees it, maligned Queensland bolter Tim Glasby is old enough to handle the barbs coming his way ahead of State of Origin II, in Sydney, tonight.

Unheralded Melbourne prop Glasby, 28, has been copping it from NSW media after earning a surprise Maroons debut, dismissed as an “NRL Nobody” despite playing 76 games for the high-flying Storm.

Smith laughed off talk that Glasby would be fazed by the unprecedented criticism of his Origin elevation.

“He’s a mature guy. I think he can cop a bit of stick from people,” Smith said. “He’s been around the game for a long time.

“Tim is professional. He won’t worry about what has been said earlier in the week.”

Glasby earned a Maroons debut after Queensland selectors wielded the axe following their record 28-4 opening loss to NSW in Brisbane.

Glasby was the big winner when Maroons selectors made seven changes, naming the Storm forward as one of four debutants.

The Melbourne big man will start on the bench along with fellow rookie Coen Hess in a bid to help Queensland blunt the Blues’ relentless forwards.

An Andrew Fifita-inspired

Good behaviour bond

Storm prop Tim Glasby will be making his Origin debut tonight.

NSW pack steamrolled Queensland in game one, prompting Maroons selectors to cut veteran forwards Sam Thaiday, Nate Myles and Jacob Lillyman plus backrower Aidan Guerra for the crunch Sydney clash.

“It’s a tough role but it’s a simple one and he will do the job,” Smith said of Glasby.

“Every game I have played alongside him he has never let the team down. I am sure he will do the same for Queensland.”

Meanwhile, he may be over 30kg lighter and play in a different part of the field but Billy Slater holds the key to stopping rampaging NSW prop Andrew Fifita in State of Origin II. That’s the view of Queensland

great Billy Moore as the Maroons desperately try to stop Fifita and prevent NSW from getting their hands on the Origin shield at ANZ Stadium tonight.

The Maroons have made seven changes after being blown off the park in game one with Slater arguably their biggest in after being overlooked for the series opener.

The Melbourne champion and former jockey is regarded as having changed the way fullbacks play and as perhaps the most damaging ball-running No.1 in the history of the game.

And the jury may be out on Cooper Cronk’s future but Queensland skipper Cameron Smith has a feeling it will be the Maroons halfback’s final State of

Origin series.

Queensland pivot Johnathan Thurston will begin his Origin swansong in tonight’s game two in Sydney, after missing the Maroons’ record 28-4 opening loss with a shoulder injury.

And Smith believes Thurston’s 33-year-old halves partner Cronk will join him in representative retirement after the year end 2017 World Cup. Cronk is yet to officially decide his playing future after announcing in April he will leave NRL club Melbourne Storm at the end of the year to live in Sydney with his fiancee.

NSW coach Laurie Daley has pleaded for State of Origin II referees to ensure Queensland don’t turn tonight’s blockbuster into a wrestle match.

There are fears south of the border the Maroons will strangle the Blues out of the game in a bid to send the series to a decider in Brisbane.

Speaking prior to yesterday’s captain’s run at Homebush, Daley hoped for an open game of football but won’t seek assurances from referees boss Tony Archer for one.

“I won’t, but I think everyone that goes to the footy wants to see a good game of footy, an open game of footy,” Daley said. “They don’t want to see two teams trying to slow it down and wrestle their way through it.”

- AAP

Penrith star James Tamou admits he’s nervous ahead of his first return to Townsville following his big-money move away from North Queensland last summer. In a game that is also set to mark Johnathan Thurston’s 300th NRL milestone, Tamou will take on the Cowboys for the first time since leaving the club for the Panthers. “They’ve got really good fans. Hopefully they don’t give it to me too much. They’re fanatical up there. We’ll see how we go.” - AAP

In brief

■ RUGBY

Win for White Ferns

Who will claim No. 13?

By Patrick Mckendry All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster yesterday called it a “nice” decision, but it’s also one of the selectors’ toughest as the consider their match-day squad for the first test against the British and Irish Lions on Saturday – who will wear the No.13 jersey, Anton Lienert-Brown or Ryan Crotty?

Lienert-Brown’s performance alongside Sonny Bill Williams in the 78-0 thrashing of Manu Samoa last Friday was one of composure and skill, and it was impressive.

The pair may have played together for the Chiefs in the distant past, but they’ve never played a test in tandem and the combination they struck was encouraging.

But the 22-year-old probably only got his opportunity to start at centre due to Crusader Ryan Crotty’s rib injury suffered in the thriller against the Highlanders in Christchurch at the start of the month.

Crotty’s rehabilation timeframe always put him in the mix for the All Blacks at Eden Park on Saturday, but he has played no rugby since and the selectors will have to weigh up whether they feel he is ready for a challenge as physical as the Lions are promising.

Second-five Williams is a virtual certainty to start at 12, and with head coach Steve Hansen hinting that all three midfielders will be in the match-day 23, it is a matter of whether Crotty starts the match or is named in the reserves.

Ryan Crotty is back from a rib injury, but will the All Blacks’ selectors throw him in against the power of the Lions?

Lienert-Brown is the slightly bigger man and the selectors may feel that that extra bulk and match fitness could be helpful against a Lions team who will be sprinting off the line in defence and taking what will probably be a direct route on attack.

For backs coach Foster, the

success of the Williams and Lienert-Brown axis against Manu Samoa was encouraging for several reasons.

“It was the first time they’d played together for I guess a long time,” Foster said.

That was pleasing, particularly I think for both players, who have

New Zealand were impressive in a seven-wicket win over India in Derby yesterday, in the first of two warmup matches ahead of their women’s World Cup. They bowled India out for 130 in 45.1 overs, with two wickets apiece for Anna Peterson, Erin Bermingham and Hannah Rowe. New Zealand responded with 133 for three in 26.3 overs, of which opener Rachel Priest top scored with 52 off 57 balls. She put on 72 for the first wicket with captain Suzie Bates, who made 30, while Katey Martin (29 not out) and Sophie Devine (20 not out) completed the job.

had spells off during Super Rugby and perhaps haven’t hit their top form.

“So to come in and gel the way they did was fantastic, and Ryan we know is a very smart rugby player and he’s never let us down in whatever role we’ve given him.

“So we’ve got some nice decisions there and the good thing is we’re making decisions between players who we know will do a very good job.”

Assuming the All Blacks selectors name powerhouse runner Julian Savea on the left wing, and it would surprise if they didn’t, the only other selection question mark hangs over the right wing: Israel Dagg or Waisake Naholo?

Dagg performed well against Manu Samoa in a test which, admittedly, was several levels below the intensity that Warren Gatland’s men will bring.

Naholo sat the match out after his superb performance for the Highlanders against the Lions three nights earlier.

Do the selectors go for the relative solidity and high-ball expertise of Dagg, or the pace, power and X-factor of Naholo, who isn’t too bad under the high ball himself?

Naholo might get the nod for the stress he will cause the Lions’ defence.

The tackling from both teams is likely to be ferocious but the All Blacks will back their attack to gradually get the better of the tourists and they have few better weapons at their disposal than Naholo.

- NZME

Barbs spurred Bombers Essendon forward Cale Hooker says he used as motivation the stinging criticism levelled at him after the Bombers’ loss to Richmond. Hooker’s goalless outing against the Tigers moved Melbourne great Garry Lyon to label him a liability and remark on SEN radio he was “playing like he has no clue what he is doing”. The 28-yearold, who has kicked 23 goals from 12 games this season, booted two goals in his next match then slammed through five in a 70-point demolition of Port Adelaide. - AAP

Hawks on track Tom Mitchell knows he will struggle to convince people outside Hawthorn that he is fortunate with his AFL lot. While the star onballer is enjoying a great first season at his new club, the Hawks have fallen off the cliff. Hawthorn are second-last, they have lost their last two games and their first assignment coming out of the bye is the ladder-leading Crows tomorrow night at Adelaide Oval.

“I’m definitely enjoying it – it’s a great club to be a part of and a great culture,” the former Sydney player said.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Some of the things you believed when you were five still hold true today. Not all. Don’t worry; you’re trending toward greater accuracy. This is a time for a review. What do you know to be true now?

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): If you adopted the goals of your closest and most similar friend, they wouldn’t fit you in the least. Goals have to be specific to you to be meaningful. It’s a hollow victory to attain other people’s goals.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The melding of your intellect with the physical world makes your reality.

Today’s work is about the idea behind it, and the idea is about the work. If you can’t get behind the idea, don’t get behind the work.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): What you’re conscious of knowing is just a sliver of what you really know. Your intelligence goes far beyond fact.

Your resourcefulness will unfold and flourish as you trust your feelings about things.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Humour is, in the end, a sense of proportion. The one who can blow out the frame of the picture and see the world as bigger than his own problems has a much easier time seeing what’s funny about it.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Don’t be too quick to call something a waste of time just because it doesn’t fit into any classic category. For today, assume that if you are drawn to it, there’s something worthy there.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You may now be able to look back and see where the progress stopped and what stopped it. It was fear. If you can’t see the nature of this fear, stop relying on your logic for the answer. Ask your gut.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): If you’re worried you won’t be able to moderate a certain behaviour of yours, it may be easier for you to abstain entirely. This may require you to go out of your way to avoid a scene rife with triggers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): What you want to do, you will do. If only part of you wants to do it – well, you’ve got your work cut out for you. You can be the very hardest person to negotiate with!

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The more you know, the less you sense. Set assumptions aside. Push your feelings into the situation. Try to contact this with each of your five senses and also with your heart.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): To make deliberate use of your time you’ll have to guard it from robbers.

It may feel mean but your loved ones don’t need you as much as they want you.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Don’t be quick to label your work or take what other people say about it to heart. What looks like a mess can be the foundation of success. Keep going. The most important part of it now is consistency.

Burnouts prove costly American driver Robby Gordon may not compete in Australia again after motorsport officials flagged banning him for hooning in Darwin’s CBD on the weekend. Super truck driver Gordon, who’s also had a successful NASCAR career, was caught doing burnouts on the city’s main Mitchell Street on Saturday night. He was charged with driving offences, including driving in a dangerous manner, and fined almost $4000 after appearing in Darwin Local Court on Monday. Gordon was in Darwin competing in Stadium Super Trucks, which he formed.

End of Champions Trophy?

Ashburton College netballers like Georgina Kelly will be hoping to impress the home-crowd in a rare SuperNet game in Ashburton tonight.

SuperNet comes to town

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

The Ashburton College Netball team will be hoping to notch up a victory in a rare home game in the SuperNet competition tonight.

It is the first match being played in Ashburton that coach Angela Mitchell can remember, and one the team is looking forward to.

“At the end of last year we asked if any teams would be willing to come down, so there has been a few offer, which is really cool,” she said.

“It is a big challenge for the girls, they’ve had a full day at school and then we jump in the van and head up.

“At the end of the term it does start to wear them down a bit but they get used to it and they are pretty resilient.”

The College girls will be playing bottom of the table Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, who are yet to win a match in the highly competitive eight-team competition.

“It is really competitive, and you really have to turn up each week and put your best foot for-

ward, because anyone can win on any given day,” she said.

Mitchell said the team is thrilled to be able to play at home.

“It is great for their families, supporters, and our school community to be able to watch our girls at home,” she said.

The SuperNet competition only makes up half of the Ashburton College girls’ weekly netball calendar, with the side also competing in the local senior competition, which they currently lead by one point.

“We probably don’t get our best performance every time

just because of the volume of netball we are playing,” she said.

“It gives us those opportunities to play against secondary school students, who we ultimately come up against in our highlight of the year which is the South Island Secondary Schools’ Netball Tournament.

“Then we also get to play locally and test ourselves against the women, which of course adds to our game.”

The match is being held at the EA Networks Centre and will start at 5pm.

Cup contest far from over, says Spithill Okay 3-0 up.

Sounds promising if you’re an Emirates Team New Zealand fan but we’ve been here before, right?

I’m sure the team from San

Francisco haven’t forgotten and I’m certain Jimmy Spithill and Oracle Team USA haven’t either.

The cocky Australian was complimentary of the speed shown

by Emirates Team New Zealand,

Read likely to be Eden Park starter P16

but he promised this thing was far from over. He pointed out that they found themselves in a worse position in San Francisco back in 2013. We all remember how that turned out.

But Emirates Team New Zealand is aware of that danger now too. They will spend the next five days working hard trying to counter any improvements Oracle Team USA makes. - NZME

The International Cricket Council is considering ditching the Champions Trophy in favour of staging the World Twenty20 on a biennial basis. While the final of the ICC’s secondary 50-over competition attracted an estimated televised audience of hundreds of millions as Pakistan crushed India at The Oval, the governing body is keen to capitalise on the exponential rise of its shortest format. This month’s Champions Trophy was contested between only the top eight sides in the world.

Managing Tiger’s meds Tiger Woods is receiving help to manage his medications. “I’m currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder,” Woods said in a statement yesterday. “I want to thank everyone for the amazing outpouring of support and understanding especially the fans and players on tour.” Woods was charged with driving under the influence after police in Jupiter, Florida, found him asleep at the wheel of his car on May 29.
