Five things that may interest you

Judd responds to hateful trolls Divergent actress Ashley Judd has penned a powerful response to the trolls who sent her vile, hate-filled tweets. Judd was attacked online by anonymous sports fans after she posted support for her beloved University of Kentucky basketball team ahead of the college finals. The actress, who played Shailene Woodley’s mum in Divergent, has threatened legal action against those behind the social media vitriol she received and admits she’s still coming to terms with the “volume of hatred that exploded at me”. In her blog, published on Mic.com yesterday, the 46-year-old writes, “I routinely cope with tweets that sexualise, objectify, insult, degrade and even physically threaten me. I have already – recently, in fact – looked into what is legally actionable in light of such abuse, and have supplied Twitter with scores of reports about the horrifying content on its platform.”

The world’s smallest drill?

A Kiwi has used 3D printing to create what could be the world’s smallest drill. New Zealander Lance Abernethy built the tiny drill using a 3D printer for the body and hand-soldered the electronics, 3DPrint.com reported.

At 13mm long and 7.5mm wide, and with a bit just half a millimetre wide, the tiny drill is barely big enough to hold.

Mr Abernethy, from Auckland, works as a maintenance engineer, and told 3DPrint.com he’d been making small things since he was a child. He used an Ultimaker 2 3D printer and drew up the plans using a computer-aided design software package called Onshape 3D. It took 25 minutes to print the body, in two halves, and chuck, but about three hours to perfect the internal wiring. It’s powered by a hearing aid battery and miniature motor. “I have seen claims of the world’s smallest cordless drill and I know mine is smaller but it’s not a confirmed claim,” Mr Abernethy told 3DPrint.com. He now plans to make an even smaller drill, using a smaller battery he’s found. The micro drill is causing a stir across the internet, with the story being shared on several websites.

Fleetwood Mac is back The first big outdoor show of next summer in Auckland is Fleetwood Mac. The classic ‘70s line-up of the band is returning to play two New Zealand dates in November. The band was due to play in 2013 but cancelled because bassist John McVie was diagnosed with cancer. After treatment, McVie returned to playing with the band last year. So did his former wife and bandmate, keyboard-singer Christine McVie, who left the band in 1998. The pair will join Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks on stage at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium on Wednesday, November 18, and at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday, November 21. Tickets go on sale from April 1.

Malik quits 1D tour with stress One Direction star Zayn Malik has quit the boyband’s world tour after being “signed off with stress” and is returning home to the UK. It comes after the singer was forced to defend himself online and declare his love for fiancee Perrie Edwards, after pictures emerged of him apparently close to another woman. “I’m 22 years old ... I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there’s a lot of jealous f***s in this world I’m sorry for what it looks like x,” the heart-throb tweeted to his 14.1 million followers. His fiancee is a member of girl band Little Mix. One of the pictures, which has been widely shared and published online, shows Malik with his arm around the bare stomach of a woman in a cropped top. They look like they are posing for the picture and are both smiling, appearing to be cheek-to-cheek. A second photo shows Malik standing close to the woman and their hands and arms appear to be interlinked. The fallout from the pictures appears to have taken its toll on the young star.

Levine hits fan with a mic Adam Levine has apologised to a fan at a Maroon 5 concert after she was hit by a microphone he’d hurled while in a rage over sound issues. During the gig at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, the Moves Like Jagger hitmaker became frustrated after a short power outage. In a video obtained by TMZ. com, the singer throws the mic to the ground which then hit fan Stephanie Green, who was seated in the front row. Levine immediate ran over to check on Green and apologised for causing an injury to her forehead. “In my flustered state, I might have thrown my microphone on the ground and then it might have bounced off of the ground, into poor, sweet Stephanie’s face,” he told the crowd. “I felt so utterly terribly that I had perhaps wounded this young fan.” However, Green, who is now sporting a large bump where she was hit by the mic, is surprisingly upbeat after the incident, calling it “the best day”.

■ STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

CDHB ‘has distanced itself’

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury schools are struggling to access mental health services with Ashburton College’s principal saying the district health board has distanced itself from its community.

Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan has met with Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) staff to express concerns over services in the district.

He believes mental health access and response times are not up to par.

The issue of access to mental health services was first raised

by schools last December.

Several Mid Canterbury principals said they struggled to get their students access to mental health services, with one saying services were “swamped”.

At the time the CDHB claimed their concerns were unwarranted, but said principals were welcome to contact them.

Mr McMillan met with Child, Adolescent and Family (CAF) Rural manager Tim Butcher in February, where they discussed concerns over a perceived lack of mental health support and slow emergency response times.

Mid Canterbury gets less mental health support than other areas of Canterbury, Mr

McMillan says. He said the meeting was about trying to get more support and resources into the district.

“I think we’ve been the poor cousin for a while, I don’t think the CDHB has realised by just how much,” he said.

“I find it really sad that an organisation that has such an important role to play can distance itself from its own community so quickly sometimes.”

He believed there were programmes available in other parts of Canterbury that Mid Cantabrians could not access.

“It’s only by jumping up and down that we’re even getting them to think about mov-

ing it to here,” he said. “Our kids shouldn’t be discriminated against simply because of where they live.”

CDHB CAF service clinical director Dr Harith Swadi said CAF continued to communicate with the Ashburton community through various means, including meetings with Ashburton College and other agencies.

“We are very happy to discuss directly, not through the media, any specific concerns that any one has with us,” he said.

Mr McMillan also had concerns about reliance on general practitioners, given the district’s GP shortage.

Health Minister Jonathan

Coleman has said more mental health services are being offered to young people through their GP. “We know the importance of making mental health services for young people accessible and relevant to their circumstances,” he said.

However Mr McMillan believed there were a large number of students not registered with a GP, limiting their access to mental health services.

“The challenge is that for many things for mental health, you’ve got to go through a GP,” he said.

“If students or families don’t have a GP, then they’re immediately shut out.”

■ METHVEN A&P SHOW

Everything’s on track

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Crowds are set to flock to the 101st annual Methven A&P Show today.

A&P Association president Chris Pannett said everything was on track and for the show, and he estimated between 3000 and 4000 people would descend on the Methven Showgrounds for the event.

The entries were looking good too and on par with other years. Last year was a bit of an exception with it being the centennial show, but he was happy with the numbers, he said.

Setting up for the show began on Monday and yesterday, with Mr Pannett and other committee members busy doing a few tidy up jobs which included putting hay bales out to separate the horses and the steer riding from the public.

It doesn’t stop there, today

looks set to be another busy day for Mr Pannett too.

“My role is basically the frontman for the show, I go round and meet dignitaries such as Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew and Mayor Angus McKay.” He will lunch with the pair and then take them on a guided tour.

Preparations for the show are year-round, he said, with the committee meeting once a month and helping to run competitions such as the dairy heifer and winter feed growing competitions throughout the year.

“We’ve got a great committee of about 25 and they’ve got all their own sections,” he said.

He’s confident everything will go to plan today and even has high hopes for the weather.

“It’s gonna be a beautiful day and we are going to get crowds of people,” he said.

■ SILVER FERN FARMS MEATWORKS

Fairton closure could spell doom

BY MICHELLE NELSON MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Closing meatworks could spell doom for smaller communities like Ashburton, a union spokesman says.

A report highlighting major faults in the red meat industry, and recommending collaboration between the major players to form a co-operative similar to dairy giant Fonterra was released by farmer lobby group Meat Industry Excellence earlier this week.

The report mooted the closure of Silver Fern Farms Fairton plant, which has a workforce of more than 500.

Secretary of the Canterbury branch of the Meat Workers Union Bill Watt said such an overhaul would hit meat workers and their families hard, but would also have a flow-on impact on the wider community.

“This is a result of farmers lobbying, rather than the meat companies pushing for it, but it would be horrendous for Ashburton,” Mr Watt said.

“The central South Island

would be a different landscape if these farmers got their way,” he said.

“Imagine if the money that comes out of Fairton was not flowing into the tills in Ashburton?

“There must be some nervous

businesspeople watching to see how this unfolds.

“There are numerous examples of towns virtually dying when meatworks are closed down.”

While agricultural diversification might lessen the blow in

Mid Canterbury, it would still have a “tremendous impact”, Mr Watt said.

Sheep numbers may be on the decline but Silver Fern’s Fairton plant is one of the country’s biggest producers of bobby (cull) calves and while there are

higher staff turnovers at the bottom end, the workforce was largely stable and based in Mid Canterbury, Mr Watt said.

These workers, some with decades of experience, would be forced to look elsewhere for employment.

“The bowling pin effect would be less investment into the community and therefore fewer jobs created.

“While it’s fine for a self-interest group to put out a report like this, I have to wonder why there has been no thought put into the devastation these recommendations would cause. It is very one-sided, it takes no account of people and communities.

“I can’t believe that socially any government would allow this to happen.”

The union’s national secretary Graham Cooke said an influx of skilled meatworkers into the market could open the door for other meat companies to instigate zero-hour contracts, following the path recently taken by a Christchurch-based plant.

South Island farmers earn less than up north

BY MICHELLE NELSON MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury sheep and beef farmers can expect to earn 20 per cent less on average than their North Island counterparts this season.

According to Beef+Lamb New Zealand’s (B+LNZ) mid-season update, farmers in the North Island will make $117,000 before tax, compared to $100,000 in the South Island.

The update cited drought and a decline in sheep numbers as the most influential factors on farmer incomes this season, which concludes at the end of

PRICES Average farmgate prices per head: ■ Steers/heifers $1457 ■ Cows $719 ■ Bulls $1536 ■ Lambs $97 ■ Sheep $76

June.

Six months ago, the organisation’s new season outlook predicted the average farm profit before tax would be around $110,800 for 2014-15.

B+LNZ chief economist Andrew Burtt said drought conditions across a large tract of the South Island’s east coast have pared profit margins back.

“While the average farm profit before tax has been adjusted slightly downwards, to $109,400, North Island profits are expected to increase 19 per cent, to $117,100, while South Island profits are predicted to decrease 20 per cent, to $100,200,” he said.

Record beef prices and higher cattle numbers in the North Island have contributed to the variation.

While sheep continue to contribute the most to gross farm revenue, this dropped 3.6 per cent on last season, however cattle revenue is up 19 per cent and predicted to rise to 31 per cent, reflecting the earlier dairy cow cull this season.

“Farm-gate prices for cattle are expected to reach record highs this season, on the back of strong demand and tight supplies, particularly in the US. We are also experiencing the upside of a weaker New Zealand dollar against the US dollar,” Mr Burtt said.

Lamb exports are down 2.9

per cent, but this will be offset by a 3.6 per cent increase in value.

Nationwide, gross farm profit remains relatively static, with only a 0.7 per cent increase, to $470,500, of which sheep account for $350,880 and cattle $119,700.

Dairy grazing revenue is anticipated to increase 8.3 per cent, to $22,100, but cash cropping revenue is forecast to drop 8.2 per cent, reflecting the impact of the drought on yields.

Total farm expenditure is estimated to be up 1.2 per cent on last season, to $361,100.

■ CHILD POVERTY ACTION GROUP REPORT

Disability often means poverty

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An Ashburton mother has spoken out about the financial struggle of caring for a disabled child as newly released figures show disabled children are more likely to live in poverty.

A new report by the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) found that 15 per cent of children with disabilities live in households with incomes under $30,000, compared with 10 per cent of all children.

The CPAG It Shouldn’t Be This Hard: Children, Poverty and Disability report also found that expenses such as medical costs and transport could be a “constant drain” on household resources, and it was rare for both parents to be working.

An Ashburton mother whose young daughter has spina bifida says caring for her daughter means she cannot work.

Natasha Wilson’s five-year-old daughter Macala was born with serious health problems, including spina bifida, cerebral palsy,

and brain malformation.

Ms Wilson is unable to work as she needs to care for her daughter, and as a single mother to four young children, finances can be stretched.

“I can’t work anymore because if she was to fall sick, I’d have to go to hospital with her, and no boss would accept that if it was happening frequently,” she said.

“There was one point where we spent seven months in and out of hospital, and there’s no way a boss would let that happen.”

Ms Wilson said Macala’s day to day care took up a lot of her time, and it was hard relying on a benefit.

She said she receives a Work and Income benefit and the Child Disability Allowance, which provided her with an extra $80 per fortnight.

“We do manage though, because we have to,” she said.

“The older kids miss out on a lot though.”

There are about 95,000 disabled children aged 0-14 years in New Zealand.

Natasha Wilson is unable to work because of the demands of looking after daughter Macala Malton, 5, who has serious health problems.

Canterbury leads in sales

BY MICHELLE NELSON MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDAIN.CO.NZ

Canterbury has topped the rural real estate sales volume list for the year ending February 2015.

Data released by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand showed Canterbury leading the field nationally in farm sales for the three months until the end of February compared to the same period last year, with nine more sales.

Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Wellington followed, each recording an additional six sales.

Drought conditions and a shortage of properties on the market resulted in 70 fewer farm sales nationally.

The medium price per hectare for all

farms sold in the three months ending February 2015 was $28,000 compared to $22,664 last year – representing a lift of 23 per cent.

Grazing properties accounted for a 43 per cent share of all sales, followed by dairy farms (20.9 per cent), finishing properties (13.6 per cent) and horticulture (12.5 per cent).

The median sales price for dairy farms was $45,105 per hectare, compared with $40,742 for the three months ending February 2014.

Sales in February included 33 farms which sold for $51,418 per hectare.

Grazing properties achieved a median price of $16,161 per hectare, up from $15,640 last year.

■ NEWCOMERS NETWORK

Funding needed

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Newcomers to Mid Canterbury may struggle to access support as a service dedicated to integrating them into the community cries out for funding.

The Ashburton Newcomers Network aims to connect people new to the district with support, services, and other people from their country of origin.

International migration accounted for 60 per cent of Mid Canterbury’s population growth between 2006 and 2013, according to the Mid Canterbury Migrants and Newcomers Research document.

As New Zealand celebrates International Race Relations day today, Ashburton Newcomers Network administrator John Hobbs says increasing diversity in the district has improved race relations.

“It’s recognised as quite a cultural hub throughout the country,” he said.

Ethnic Communities Minister Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga said the theme of this year’s Race Relations Day is Big Change Starts

Small. “We can all do our part, no matter how small, to ensure that New Zealanders of every ethnic background are treated with respect,” he said.

However, with the Ashburton Newcomers Network fighting for adequate funding, support for new additions to the district could be jeopardised.

Funding for the network has been transferred from the Ministry of Social Development into the Office of Ethnic Affairs.

The application process for funding was then changed, meaning the organisation now has to compete with other agencies across the country for funding.

Mr Hobbs said the funding shortfall meant the organisation was working at a limited capacity.

“There’s a major deficit in terms of resourcing and funding,” he said.

“That limits what we can do for people.”

The Office of Ethnic Affairs did not respond to requests for comment by deadline yesterday.

■ MID CANTERBURY PHARMACIES

ePrescriptions on hold here

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A new and innovative online prescription system has been rolled out across New Zealand but many pharmacies, including those in Ashburton, are unable to use it.

Life Pharmacy Ashburton was enabled to use the service back in September of last year, but due to compatibility issues with the software used by most GPs, it has been rendered unusable.

The ePrescription service was designed to allow pharmacies to receive electronic, barcoded versions of paper prescriptions from general practices.

The new prescriptions will ease the workloads for patients, pharmacists and GPs alike.

Instead of having to type the information in, it will work in with the pharmacy software, Life Pharmacy pharmacist Jane Kelly said.

It will also no longer be necessary for patients to bring paper prescriptions in to phar-

“It’s going to make it a smooth, easy process,” she said.

Mrs Kelly was looking forward to finally using the new system, but that might not hap-

Home invasion charges A 49-year-old Invercargill man has been charged over a home invasion which left a woman with facial bruising last September.

The man has been charged with injuring with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and burglary.

Police said a man entered a house in Mill South Road and assaulted a woman early on September 13. The woman escaped from the house, but was injured. Police said new information had led to the arrest.

The man appeared in Invercargill District Court yesterday and was granted name suppression. He is due to reappear in mid-April.

pen for at least six months.

It was fabulous they were enabled and it will be a great benefit for pharmacies once it is fully operational, she said.

As far as she was aware, all GPs in Ashburton used Medtech, software that was not yet compatible with the ePrescription system, because Life Pharmacy had not yet seen a single barcoded prescription.

“At the moment paper prescriptions are given to the patient and then the patient comes into the pharmacy and we dispense it,” she said.

Alternatively, prescriptions can be faxed, in which case a pharmacist must either sight the original, or print the faxed copy out to be signed, which can be time consuming.

But with the new system, electronically barcoded versions will be accepted as originals.

“As long as it’s got that barcode and it’s signed we can accept that as an original, we don’t have to wait for the actual piece of paper,” Mrs Kelly said.

Crash victim named The teenage driver killed in a crash in South Auckland on Thursday was Brandon Rowe, 18. Mr Rowe was the sole occupant of a white Mazda Familia, and was confirmed dead at the scene, police said.

The police serious crash unit is still investigating the crash on the Alfriston-Ardmore Rd about 8am.

Sergeant Mark Fleming said it appeared Mr Rowe lost control and crashed into a power pole. “No other vehicles were involved in the crash. However we are interested to hear from anyone who may have seen the Mazda in Clevedon or on the Alfriston-Ardmore Road prior to the crash.”

■ AORAKI POLYTECHNIC

Leadership workshops introduced

PHOTO DONNA WYLIE 160315-DW-051

Gearing up for holiday programme Mikayla Hogan (left), Henry Paisley, Jacob Hopkins-Rasmussen and Katresha Lyttle are fine tuning their co-ordination skills in preparation for the outdoor holiday programme.

Young people between the age of 11 and 17 who want to learn how to mountain bike

along the Ashburton River like a pro or swim like Sophie Pascoe can do so these holidays.

The YMCA Holiday Programme involves a range of outdoor activities from archery to abseiling and is designed to keep youth not only busy, but also active over the school holi-

day period. The programme will run from April 7 to 10 and 13 to 17 between 10am and 2pm.

If five sessions or more are attended then youth are able to participate in a trip to Adrenaline Forest, the high-wire adventure park.

Have a say on the proposed Canterbury Air Regional Plan

Mid Canterbury business leaders will have the chance to share their expertise at Aoraki Polytechnic’s new series of leadership workshops.

The Leader to Leader workshops, aimed at knowledge sharing and collaboration in local businesses, will be launched in April.

Each workshop will be run by a local business leader who will share their knowledge and experience in a chosen area.

According to the polytechnic, topics will include embracing innovation and technology, cloud based accounting, team performance, governance, and marketing.

The first workshop will be held at Aoraki’s Timaru campus, followed by quarterly workshops in Ashburton and Oamaru.

A spokeswoman for the polytechnic could not confirm when the Ashburton workshops would begin, or which businesses would be taking part.

Polytechnic chief executive Alex Cabrera said Aoraki was committed to working with the leaders and owners of local industry and businesses.

“Education is a key element of improving productivity and supporting regional development,” he said. “We all need each other to ensure the region continues to move forward.”

Portfolio manager Anna Nichol said with considerable growth and success in the region, the polytechnic needed to ensure that businesses utilised the training available to them.

“There is always something new to learn and feed back into the business,’’ she said.

Your Wedding, Your Way

Environment Canterbury is publicly notifying the Proposed Canterbury Air Regional Plan as part of its review of the operative Air Plan for Canterbury.

We all have an important role to play in achieving cleaner, healthier air and the community is being invited to have its say on the proposed Air Plan by making a submission prior to 1 May 2015.

at Hotel Ashburton

The proposed Air Plan is the culmination of a long-term process to work with the community on an effective strategy to ensure the region’s air quality meets the national health-based air quality standards.

In June 2014, an Air Plan Discussion document was released outlining changes and inviting public feedback.

This feedback along with work with our partners and stakeholders has informed the further development of the proposed Air Plan which includes measures to manage air quality through reducing pollution caused by home heating, outdoor burning, industry, odour and dust.

Copies of the proposed Air Plan will be available at Environment Canterbury’s Christchurch, Timaru and Kaikoura offices, public libraries and at www.ecan.govt.nz/airplan where you can also make online submissions.

For more information please contact Customer Services on 0800 329 276 or ecinfo@ecan.govt.nz

Ten-year-old Georgia Humm battled cancer at the tender age of 14 months.

PHOTO DONNA WYLIE 170315-DW-262

Special honour

at this year’s

C

ancer can strike anyone, at any age and Georgia Humm was battling the disease at only 14 months of age.

She had been unwell on and off for a few months and never quite hit her milestones, mum Di said.

It wasn’t uncommon for her to wake four to six times a night, blue from not being able to breathe.

It turned out Georgia had a large mass on her airways.

The family, then based in Australia on a farm, were flown to Sydney and Georgia was admitted into Sydney Children’s Hospital.

She was to stay there for 11 months.

Chemotherapy treatment began more or less straight away, Di said, but, as is common with small children, she didn’t tolerate the chemo well.

Georgia’s oncologist said she had only seen two cases of a child so young with that type of leukaemia.

Georgia had rather severe reactions to the treatment

Relay for Life

A bright and bubbly 10-year-old, Georgia Humm keeps busy with sports, school and seeing her friends, but only five years ago she was battling cancer. Reporter Caitlin Porter sat down to chat with Georgia and her mum Di, about her experience. and spent much of her time in the intensive care unit as the troubles with her airways continued.

Around three to four months into her treatment Georgia had a lumbar puncture to sample fluid and then a few days later had a spinal bleed, resulting in her being paralysed from the waist down.

“They weren’t sure if she would gain back movement in her lower limbs,” Di said.

Thankfully, she did. Georgia progressed through leg braces and walking frames and now, at age 10, runs around like any other child her age.

Georgia went into remission quite early on, which doctors like to see, Di said.

However, she did have to be taken off chemotherapy at times, so she could get herself

well before undergoing her next session. The whole time she was in hospital – nearly a year – she only had one threeday trip home.

Her family were by her side the whole time and her sister drove for hours to see her on the weekends.

Georgia didn’t end up finishing her last round of chemotherapy, but has stayed in remission ever since.

She was a great patient and formed a special bond with the nurses, Di said.

“She has an unusual appreciation for hospitals.”

Georgia moved to Ashburton with her family three years ago, as her parents were from here originally.

Di said she wanted to make sure Georgia met her fiveyear remission mark before

they took off for New Zealand shores.

The Ashburton community did a lot of fundraising for Georgia while she was going through her treatment, Di said.

That is something the Humm family will always be grateful for.

Even now, when Georgia has to go to Christchurch for her yearly blood tests she doesn’t gripe.

“It’s just not a problem,” Di said.

She has minor complications from the cancer that mean she has to visit hospital and at times stay overnight, but even that doesn’t bother her.

“She is very, very happy and very strong willed,” she said.

“A real little battler.”

It was by no means an easy time for Georgia, or her

parents. Di admits that being there, every day, made things easier on her because she got to spend so much time with her.

After it was all said and done, it really hit home though.

“A lot of people say that was so unfortunate, but we got to take her home and a lot of people didn’t get to do that.”

Because of all she went through, the Relay for Life holds a special place in the hearts of the Humms and this year Georgia has the honour of cutting the ribbon for the commencement of the event.

Di said she was “very excited” to cut the ribbon.

As an active kid who loves to play all kinds of sports, Georgia said she might do a few laps around the track too, to show her support.

■ MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

Fresh look at Bain compensation A senior retired Australian judge will head the inquiry into David Bain’s compensation claim – and will report back within six months on whether he believes Mr Bain has proven his innocence.

Hon Ian Callinan AC QC, a former Justice of the High Court of Australia, will conduct a fresh inquiry into Mr Bain’s claim for compensation for wrongful conviction and

imprisonment.

He will advise Justice Minister Amy Adams whether he is satisfied that Mr Bain has proven his innocence on the balance of probabilities.

If that is that case, he has also been asked to say whether he believes Mr Bain’s innocence has been proven beyond reasonable doubt.

That is a significant question.

A 2012 report by former Canadian Supreme Court Justice Ian Binnie recommended compensation based on the view that Mr Bain was probably innocent – not innocent beyond reasonable doubt.

Mr Binnie’s report noted that he was instructed that probable innocence was a minimum requirement for compensation.

Unhappy with the report, then-Justice Minister Judith

Collins ordered a review of it

by Robert Fisher QC, which found he made several errors of law.

“Mr Callinan is being asked the [question about innocence beyond reasonable doubt] at this stage because Cabinet has previously treated innocence beyond reasonable doubt as an example of ‘extraordinary circumstances’,” Ms Adams said.

■ TIMARU DISTRICT COURT

House filled with gas after unauthorised work A South Canterbury real estate company and a maintenance franchisee have been fined more than $60,000 after a rental property filled with gas.

Harcourts Timaru was fined $55,000 and required to pay $12,500 reparation for failing to take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of gas appliances and fittings when leasing out a property, and for engaging a person who was not authorised to do gas-fitting.

Crew Cut franchisee, Larry Warner, was sentenced to 200 hours community work and required to pay $2000 reparation for doing the unauthorised work.

Harcourts Timaru and Larry Warner pleaded guilty last year to breaches of the Gas Act 1992 and the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Act 2006 and were sentenced in Timaru District Court on Thursday.

In early June 2014, Har-

courts Timaru engaged Crew Cut to remove a gas heater from a property they managed.

Larry Warner was not authorised to do this work and the gas supply was left uncapped.

The next day the tenant noted a strong smell of gas.

Following an investigation by WorkSafe’s Energy Safety, it was estimated that 35kgs of gas had leaked into the house.

In a statement, Energy Safety compliance officer Richard

Lamb said Harcourts Timaru had considerable expertise in property management and should have known better.

“Always use an appropriately qualified person to do gas and electrical work on any property.

“All landlords, including property managers, have a duty to ensure the safety of gas and electrical installations, appliances and fittings in properties they lease.”

In brief Police Notebook Incidents reported by police yesterday: - Police attended a car crash at the corner of Cass Street and Mona Square at 4pm on Thursday.

Two cars were involved in the collision, and one person was taken to Ashburton Hospital for treatment.

Algae warning lifted Health warnings about a potentially toxic algae in the Ashburton River have been partially lifted – but people should not swim in the water.

The Ashburton District Council yesterday removed warning signs from beside the river, near State Highway 1, after Environment Canterbury monitoring found cyanobacteria was no longer at toxic levels. The warnings had been in place since December, when ECan water monitoring at the Ashburton River Bridge found increased levels of the potentially toxic algae. Council environmental monitoring manager Rick Catchpowle said two consecutive survey results confirmed levels had subsided. The algae mats are no longer detaching. “While the reduced algae levels means the area is now safe for dogs, the water quality is not considered suitable for human recreation and bathing due to the health risk from bacteria present in the water.”

Signs advising people against swimming at the site remain in place. Cyanobacteria occurs naturally and increases rapidly during warmer periods.

■ ASHBURTON MUSEUM

Visitors on track to set a new high The new Ashburton Museum is smashing old visitor records and is on track to set a new high by the end of the year.

The museum opened in its new premises, the Ashburton Art Gallery and Heritage Cen-

tre, on February 14. By yesterday, it had welcomed about 1700 visitors since its first full day on February 15, easily surpassing the average number a month at its old premises.

The old museum had be-

tween 8000 and 9000 visitors a year.

Museum director Michael Hanrahan said numbers were buoyed by the curiosity in the new building.

Many school groups had

visited to experience the new museum and to take part in its Anzac centennial activities, he said.

This interest was set to continue with more school groups expected in the coming weeks.

Images have surfaced of new X Factor judge Shelton Woolright in blackface, which he has defended as part of his stage performance.

The pictures, seen on Twitter and Woolwright’s now-private Facebook page, show the singer with his face painted black in performances with his band I Am Giant. Blackface refers to make-up used to imitate a black person and has a history dating back to the minstrel shows of the 19th century, where white people would smear burnt cork on their faces. The practice is largely condemned as racist. Woolwright had defended his controversial actions. “My love of music and creativity means I have become not only a drummer in a hard rock band, but also a photographer and artist,” he said.

“The black face paint has been part of my stage performance for various shows and videos and has been a developing concept. As with my full body tattoos, it has been a form of expression and a point of difference.”

- NZME

Dead man named A man killed in an industrial incident south of Timaru on Thursday has been named. South Canterbury man Scott James Baldwin, 43, died in the incident at the Gordons Valley Lime Company about 7.15pm, police said. The death has been referred to the coroner. Mr Baldwin’s family were “understandably devastated” and were being supported by police and Mr Baldwin’s employer, police said. Police and WorkSafe New Zealand investigations were ongoing.

100 years of the Methven A&

immortalised on pap

As preparations were made for the 100th Methven A&P Show last year, members had another project they were working on behind the scenes. It was the beginnings of a book about the history of the association. Book sub-committee members including Andrew Oram, Andrew Currie and Gaewynne Hood worked in conjunction with Guardian journalist Susan Sandys on the project. The soft-cover 140-page book will be launched and for sale today at the 101st Methven show. Here the Guardian features a preview with small excerpts.

ad weather overnight cleared, and a frosty autumn morning turned into a cloudless day on Thursday, April 11, 1912. As the sun shone on the productive Canterbury Plains and the towering Southern Alps beyond, the scene was set for a fantastic first Methven A&P Show.

“And people from the distant plains could not fail to appreciate the invigorating conditions for which the Mount Hutt centre occupies a pre-eminent place,” he continued.

The 20-acre grounds at the Methven Domain were surrounded by belts of trees along three sides, which gave “charm to the surroundings”. The grounds were well prepared with two show rings, a large marquee, stock pens and secretary’s office.

THE BEGINNING

A

fter the first meetings in the Methven Hotel, the newly formed Methven A&P Association began to hold its meetings in the Mount Hutt Road Board office, which is Methven’s oldest building still standing today, and even older than the 1883 library, which was demolished in 2013.

The small weatherboard building stands at the corner of Main Street and South Belt.

Association members later moved to a supper room in the former Methven Town Hall on Bank Street and bought a section adjoining the town hall after the fifth show in 1916, for £225.

Methven’s Bank of New Zealand manager recorded on December 11 of that year that the association’s treasurer, Mr Green, had asked for a temporary

advance of up to £200 for the purchase.

“The overdraft would be cleared from profit of their show to be held end of March 1917... Promised to pay the £200 cheque on Wednesday,” the manager wrote in cursive script on records still held by the bank today.

The association built its first rooms on the Bank Street section, at a cost of £882.

It was financed by donations, members’ annual subscriptions, profits from shows, as well as funds lent on an eight-year mortgage by member Mr G. Vaughan.

The small brick building was officially opened on June 11, 1917.

t was only three years after the association was formed that war broke out in Europe and World War One was declared.

The war usurped male labour from the lands of New Zealand and was duly felt in the farming district of Methven.

The Methven A&P Association decided at one of its meetings in 1918 to write to the government pleading it not send to war the “last man on the farm”, as recounted in the Ashburton Guardian the next day: “A letter was received from the committee dealing with ‘the last man on the farm’, giving the names of a large number of men who have been definitely called for military service though in each case ‘the last man on

the farm’. The committee went carefully through the list, and in a few cases referred the names back for further information.

CHANGES OVER THE DECADES

T

here has perhaps been no greater change over the last three decades to the show than in the sheep section.

Just as draught horses once ruled the paddocks, ewes and their lambs once dominated almost every pasture across the Mid Canterbury plains.

The growth of dairying and intensive cropping due to their superior profitability has gradually pushed sheep farming into a minority farming practice.

Winchmore sheep farmer and association member John Miles remembers back to the 1960s, when entries in the sheep section were 500 to 600 each year.

“Every farmer had a mob of ewes,” he said.

It was the heyday of sheep farming in New Zealand and the industry was at its peak in Mid Canterbury.

At the Methven A&P Show each year there were so many entries that organisers had to “double up” pens by squeezing two lots of entries into each pen.

In the sheep pens at the 75th anniversary show.

“And the following was huge,” Mr Miles said.

He was a helper in the sheep pens at the time, having recently

left school. He is one of a long line of sheep farmers in his family, with his grandfather George having been a gatekeeper at the

first show held in the Methven Domain.

His father Jack competed for many years in the sheep and farm produce sections and recalled at the 75th show anniversary how it took two weeks to prepare the grounds for show day – the sheep pens having to be erected and dismantled each year. Mr Miles said a decline in sheep numbers began in the late 1960s with the development of grain storage on farms.

Bulk grain storage made harvest easier, encouraging farmers to put more of their land into crops.

A booming dairy industry in the 1990s through to the present day has seen many sheep farmers convert their land, seeing entry numbers decline further.

By the 2003 show, entry numbers had dropped to 266, and to 154 by 2013.

Committee members removed about 50 sheep pens from the showgrounds in the 2004/05 year, and took out another 200 in 2006/07, creating more space for the nearby arts and craft area.

This gorgeous hot water copper kettle and stand with heating lamp was presented to Lucy Nell, on behalf of the settlers of Mayfield, in 1903 and is still being treasured by deSendants to this day. Lucy was a music teacher and she played the piano and organ at many social functions and church services in the area. At that time the family was living in one of the houses at Sharplin’s sawmill in Sawmill Road and her husband, George Nell, was the clerk and book-keeper at the mill. The kettle is now in the possession of her great-grandson, Graham Nell, who lives in Brisbane. The photograph was sent in by Alick Nell, a grandson of Lucy’s.

Ashburton College rower Matthew Beveridge will be pushing for a place in an A final at next week’s Maadi Cup National Secondary Schools’ rowing regatta at Lake Karapiro.

Maadi crews on right track

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton College rowers travel north this weekend for the Maadi Cup National Secondary Schools’ rowing regatta at Lake Karapiro.

College coach Steve Beveridge is hoping for a marked improvement on last year’s nationals which saw college miss out on racing in a single A final.

Qualifying for 10 A finals and

two B finals at the recent shortened South Island Secondary Schools’ Regatta was a positive sign his crews were on the right track, but with day two of that regatta cancelled due to high winds some of the boats are light on racing.

Three college boats still managed to medal and are looking to feature in the medal stakes at Maadi.

After a silver medal in the open women’s single at nation-

als, Veronica Wall continued her strong season with a gold medal in the girls’ under 16 final while the under 18 pair of Matthew Beveridge and Matthew Rae also won bronze.

Beveridge was also awarded a bronze for qualifying third fastest in the under 18 single.

The nationals are always a hard one to pick with the island rowers coming together, it is hard to gauge favouritism based on the respective North

and South Island regattas.

The number of competitors entered is 2170, plus 189 reserves, making the 2015 edition the biggest ever regatta with a total of 2359 athletes.

The largest entries come in the girls’ U17 single scull with 64, with 51 schools competing in this event, with a grand total 1468 crews entered across the 52 events on offer at the regatta from 122 New Zealand secondary schools.

The Maadi Cup is nominally the prize for the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Boys’ Under 18 rowing eights competition, but it has become the colloquial name given to the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Rowing Regatta, at which the Maadi Cup is the premier event.

The regatta begins on Monday and runs for six days, with the event concluding on March 28.

Hurricanes show true grit

By Patrick Mckendry A match which promised much in terms of attack was instead settled by grit and sheer bloody-mindedness, the Hurricanes preserving their unbeaten record for the season last night and enhancing their title credentials in the process.

This was a slow-burner of a game, the Highlanders living off scraps of possession and territory in the second half, but hanging in there, as they do, and they put enormous pressure on the visitors under the Dunedin roof.

It began with a series of mistakes, with Highlanders halfback Aaron Smith beset by nerves, and finished with allout attack, and it was the Hurricanes on the right side of the ledger at a place which has become difficult for visiting teams to win at.

It also finished in controversy, the Highlanders were over for a try in the final minute which could have drawn the match, but referee Ben O’Keeffe had already called for a forward pass, which looked marginal.

It left the Highlanders’ players and supporters extremely disappointed.

The Hurricanes’ fans, meanwhile, will be hoping that this is their year, and at the moment

their team aren’t doing much to disabuse them of that.

Ben Smith was again the architect for the Highlanders’ inevitable comeback after they beat the odds to claw their way back from the death against the Chiefs and Waratahs, but he was also at fault for the disallowing of a Highlanders’ try, his cleanout of Brad Shields on the Hurricanes’ line deemed illegal.

With All Blacks such as Julian Savea, TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett, Ma’a Nonu and Cory Jane in the Hurricanes’ backline, along with the Highlanders’ liking for an open game, it seemed a try-fest was in the offing, but rather than an outside back it was prop Reggie Goodes who went over from close for the first try - but not until well into the second half.

Despite the setback the Highlanders were in it until the final nine minutes until halfback Perenara went over for a converted try after a Julian Savea charge.

It sealed it for the Hurricanes, but it was perhaps tough on the Highlanders.

It looked as if they had discovered the key to defeating the Hurricanes - a totally committed defensive effort led by wing Patrick Osborne who charged into contact like a man possessed.

Lima Sopoaga: Scored late try

Their forwards were also extremely good in defending around the ruck.

Once again they proved they won’t be pushovers this season.

It meant breaks were kept to a minimum, despite the Hurricanes’ firepower, but gradually men such as Shields and Victor Vito began making inroads and in Nonu the Hurricanes had a defensive powerhouse in the final desperate minutes.

Lima Sopoaga’s try at the death, which came just after Julian Savea was sinbinned for offside, was a deserved consolation.

Hurricanes captain Conrad Smith said afterwards: “It was tough, we knew it was going to be. It just came down to a few moments.”

It’s five from five for the Hurricanes, who, Smith said, were looking to prove a few people wrong this season after being known as perennial underachievers. Their only sour note of the night was the arm injury to flanker Ardie Savea, who was taken to hospital.

Hurricanes: 20 (Reggie Goodes, TJ Perenara tries; Beauden Barrett 3 pens, con) Highlanders: 13 (Lima Sopoaga try; 2 pens, con). HT: 3-3.

Poor start: All Blacks halfback Aaron Smith endured an awful start; kicking out on the full twice in the first three minutes and generally looking as if he was trying far too hard against rival TJ Perenara. He improved as the game went on.

Good finish: Highlanders centre Malakai Fekitoa’s break late in the match had home fans on the edge of their seats, but their team couldn’t quite do it.

Ref O’Keefe’s decision to call a forward pass and rule out a try didn’t go down well. - NZME

Kiwi pair crush Aussies A

stunning win from the women’s pairing of Sandra Keith and Jo Edwards set up the Black Jack’s win in the Trans-Tasman Challenge at the Burnside Bowling Club in Christchurch yesterday.

Keith and Edwards blew Australia’s Anne Johns and Chloe Stewart off the park, leading 20 to one on the 13th end.

While dropping a four on the 14th end the New Zealanders never looked in doubt as they comfortably finished the game 23-8.

It was just the display to impress the New Zealand selectors with the world championships coming up in Christchurch next year.

Edwards and Keith had lost their opening pairs match on Wednesday 13-15, but struck back in the afternoon to win 19-15.

The Australians claimed the win on Thursday 18-11 but Edwards and Keith levelled the tie in emphatic fashion yesterday.

In the fours Keith, Mandy Boyd, Val Smith and Tayla Bruce lost the opening match 12-15.

They bounced back from a second loss 14-20 on Thursday morning to win 16-11 in the afternoon, but couldn’t square the series with Australia taking yesterday’s clash 17-6.

Overall Australian claimed the test match 4-2 on Wednesday but the Kiwis won overall on Thursday, 4-2, and on Friday by a points differential of +9 after the teams won three ties each, to return the trophy to New Zealand for the first time since 2011.

In the end the titles were split between the rival nations.

New Zealand claimed the Open Women’s, Development Women’s and overall Development Trophy, while Australia will be returning with the Open Men’s, Development Men’s and Open Overall trophies.

Ko shares lead Lydia Ko is in a share of first after an opening round of 66 at the LPGA’s Founders Cup in Phoenix. The Kiwi 17-yearold made seven birdies and a bogey yesterday and is tied for the lead alongside three other players at six-under. In a day of low scoring, there were a string of golfers who went under the card and Ko, the world No 1, will have to continue her good form to remain in contention.

Russell Crowe has refused to rule out the possibility of buying English Championship club Leeds.

Leeds fan Samwild90 wrote to Crowe saying: “Please buy Leeds. In need of help!” and Crowe retweeted the message, adding the comment “Anybody else think this is a good idea?”

Harden stars as Rockets take out the Nuggets James Harden scored a careerhigh 50 points with 10 rebounds to lead the Houston Rockets to a 118-108 win over the Denver Nuggets yesterday.

Harden eclipsed his previous career-best of 46, set in 2013, on a free throw with about a minute remaining. On Houston’s next possession, Trevor Ariza found

him in the corner and he swished a 3 under pressure, to make it 50.

Six straight points by the Nuggets cut the lead to 8 with about five minutes left when the Rockets made the next five points, capped by a step back jump shot from Harden, to make it 104-91.

Meanwhile Brandan Wright scored 16 points and matched his

career high with seven blocked shots, helping the Phoenix Suns to a sluggish, cold-shooting victory over a New Orleans Pelicans team playing without star Anthony Davis, who rolled his left ankle in the team’s shootaround and his availability for the game at Golden State today was uncertain.

The loss dropped New Orleans a game behind Oklahoma City for the eighth playoff spot in the West.

Gordon Hayward scored 22 points, Trey Burke added 17 off the bench, and the Utah Jazz sent the Los Angeles Lakers to their 50th loss of the season.

In brief Setting standards These are some of the ways the New Zealand cricket team have absorbed the pressure associated with today’s World Cup quarter-final against the West Indies. The New Zealanders are on the cusp of winning nine ODIs in a row, a feat to equal the record of their 2007 forebears. New Zealand have also won 10 of their last 12 matches at Wellington Regional Stadium. The incumbent New Zealand cricketers have rekindled memories of why the sport originally appealed as the country’s summer game. Through leadership, performance and sportsmanship the current side, at test and ODI level, have set a standard which the public have embraced.

Resignation threat The International Cricket Council’s Bangladeshi president has threatened to quit over the umpiring in his country’s World Cup quarter-final defeat to India, suggesting the match appeared to have been fixed.

Mustafa Kamal told Bangladeshi reporters in Melbourne after Thursday’s match at the MCG that he would raise the issue at the ICC’s next meeting, saying the umpires’ decisions seemed to have been “pre-arranged”. “As the ICC president, whatever I have to say I will say it in the next meeting. It could happen that maybe I will resign,” Kamal said on Bangladeshi television. “There was no quality in the umpiring. It looked like they took the field after it (the outcome) was pre-arranged,” he alleged.

‘It’s all on the line New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum expects Adam Milne to return to the first XI in place of Mitchell McClenaghan for today’s quarter-final against the West Indies.

McCullum reserved final judgment until he had seen the pitch, but declared his side had contingencies even if they weren’t at their best.

“I’m a horse racing fan so, in that parlance, if we miss the start it doesn’t mean we’re out of the race.

By DyLan CLeaver Let me introduce to you one of New Zealand’s most perplexing cricketers, a man who carried his team upon his slightly stooped shoulders to within sight of victory over Bangladesh with an emphatic century.

Yet, in an act emblematic of his career, he left the result in the balance with his dismissal.

He’s a man who might just hold the key to New Zealand’s batting for-

tunes not only today against the West Indies, but for the remainder of the tournament; a man who has squirrelled away the most runs among his team-mates at this tournament, yet is only scratching the surface of his talent.

It’s not as if we have forgotten how good Martin James Guptill can be; it’s that too often Guptill forgets just how good Guptill can be.

It is why the 28-year-old remains on target to be remembered as one

of the country’s great sporting enigmas. He should be New Zealand’s test opener - he is a better player at this point than Hamish Rutherford or, before him, Peter Fulton - but, according to one well-placed source, remains some way down the pecking order because of fundamental flaws in technique.

It seems crazy that a player with such shot-making skills still struggles with the forward defence, but there you have it: the mystery of

Guptill summed up in on Guptill last played a t 2013, where he scored 1 ting at No6 and, as me probably not in the frame Although his record in formats is much better, it he has a locked down spot Guptill’s strength is hitt and over the top, but he when McCullum is feelin times it’s better to be at th enjoying the show.

Who will be high-fiving after

Pakistan out for 213

By Jonathan Leask

Australian paceman Josh Hazlewood took four wickets as Pakistan staggered to 213 all out in last night’s World Cup quarter-final. Hazlewood, who replaced Pat Cummins in Australia’s sole change for the knockout bout, helped dismiss the Pakistanis in 49.5 overs at Adelaide Oval. The tall quick claimed 4-35 from 10 overs while fellow fast bowler Mitchell Starc (2-40) and spinner Glenn Maxwell (2-43) also achieved multiple success. Haris Sohail top-scored with 41 from 57 balls but Pakistan, after winning the toss and batting, never gained traction after losing two wickets in three balls.

Consistency meets unpredictability in senior cricket’s Muirhead Rosebowl final at the Ashburton Domain Oval today.

The consistent Tech make their sixth straight Rosebowl final, but will not be considered favourites over first-time finalists Coldstream.

In seasons past, Coldstream’s form has fluctuated from abysmal to unbeatable across a season.

They spend half the summer losing and the other half winning, but this year they started out strongly - winning the Twenty20.

They went off the boil in the middle part and may have timed their run just right for the final - their first time playing for the Muirhead Rosebowl since re-joining the senior ranks.

“Sometimes it’s like that for us.

I’m not sure why.” Coldstream captain Richard Print said.

“We started the season well and it was not so great after that but we have come right.

“I think we have a really good chance.”

Print is in some fine form of late and could carry the hopes of his team on his shoulders.

He did last week with a blazing century, aided by the experienced Andrew Bennett as the pair put on a 76-run final partnership for the final wicket - Bennett 6 not out in support.

Coldstream’s consistently inconsistent run may have timed it right for once.

Tech on the other hand have been the most consistent cricket club in

Streakers unwelcome Streakers, pitch invaders and object-tossers will be punished severely if they try to disrupt remaining World Cup cricket matches, police warned yesterday. Superintendent Sandra Manderson said spectators have overwhelmingly been wellbehaved but police would not let misbehaviour embarrass New Zealand at upcoming matches in Wellington and Auckland. Pitch invasions were common and tolerated in the 1990s, but in 2007, the Major Events Management Act was introduced to quash pitch invasions, ticket scalping and other activities authorities deemed undesirable at big sporting occasions. This year, one person had already been fined $1500 fine at Hagley Oval during the tournament’s opening match.

Captain MS Dhoni insists he couldn’t care less about who India will face in Thursday’s World Cup semi-final at the SCG. The defending champions continued their impressive form with a 109-run victory over Bangladesh in the round of eight, making it seven wins on the trot. Dhoni’s men next confront Australia or Pakistan - a blockbuster either way.

Dhoni commended his teammates for a polished performance, reserving special praise for Suresh Raina’s strokes, Rohit Sharma’s composed century plus a clinical attack that claimed 10 wickets for the seventh time in a row. - AAP

r the Rosebowl final today?

Mid Canterbury for five years.

They have held the Studholme hield - played for across the entire 5 over season as opposed to one ame for the Rosebowl - four times.

Tech sides have also been in the nal in the previous five occasions, ith only one win.

Tech already achieved their major aol of the summer, locking away he coveted Studholme Shield as the op team in 45-over cricket.

Winning the Muirhead Rosebowl ould be icing on the cake, and a reef.

“All season our focus has been the tudholme. Obviously we would ill like to finish the season with a in and lose the choker tags,” Tech aptain Morgan Gallagher said.

Since the senior competition rehuffle in 2006, that had senior and

second grade combine, no team has been able to hold the Pritchard Shield, Studholme Shield and Moorhead Rosebowl in the same summer.

Tech are unbeaten in the Ashburton Domain this summer - holding the Bevan Stroud Memorial Challenge Trophy all season - but the domain oval has proved a different ball game.

The winner at this stage won’t actually receive the Muirhead Rosebowl as it is one of two trophies Mid Canterbury Cricket are currently missing.

The other is the Logan Talbot, which is for Services to Cricket.

Mid Canterbury Cricket’s Mike Southby is hoping they turn up before the end of season awards evening, next Friday at 7pm at the Hotel Ashburton.

It wasn’t so much about what Mashrafe Mortaza said as what Bangladesh’s captain didn’t say. Bangladesh’s World Cup campaign ended on Thursday, where they suffered a 109-run loss against India, outclassed in every facet. Rohit Sharma’s 137 was hardly littered with what-if moments, however a contentious umpiring call certainly didn’t help their cause.

Sharma, on 92, smacked a full toss from Rubel Hossain to the deep. The paceman was no-balled due to the height of his delivery. Replays confirmed the bold decision was unjust. “Well, everyone saw what happened in the middle. I don’t want to say anything about this,” Mashrafe said in his post-match press conference.

Fined for slow overs

131214-TM-161

Captain Mashrafe Mortaza’s woes after Bangladesh’s exit from the World Cup were compounded by a suspension and fine for his team’s slow over-rate in the losing quarter-final against India.

Mortaza was banned for one limited overs international and fined 40 per cent of his match fee, while his players were fined 20 per cent of their fees for maintaining a slow over-rate against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. “It was still a brilliant tournament for us,” Mortaza said.

No F1 in Germany?

Germany appears to be without a Formula One race for the first time in 55 years as neither of the country’s two circuits have been able to make a deal with series promoter Bernie Ecclestone. Nuerburgring pulled out yesterday, following the decision earlier in the week by Hockenheim, after Ecclestone rejected requests to reduce the fee for staging the race.

“We have reached the decision that it makes no more sense to wait any longer for timing, organising and economic reasons,” Nuerburgring spokesman Pietro Nuvoloni said.

Happy hookers It’s strange days for Thomas Leuluai and Nathan Friend. Both are accustomed to spending almost every moment on the field, 80-minute Warriors in the truest sense of the word. Now they are fighting for game time, sharing the hooking role so far this season. It was almost an even split in Newcastle while Leuluai got 55 minutes (Friend 25) in last Sunday’s win over Canberra. “It’s a healthy situation,” said Friend. “I’m not the only one at the club fighting for the same spot. It’s good for the team and the club. We are all about winning and performance so if we can combine together and get through the season and do well, then I’m happy.” Friend will play his 200th NRL match tonight against the Eels.

Dugan welcomed St George Illawarra are banking on Josh Dugan’s return against his former club, to kick start the joint venture’s troubled start to the NRL season in Canberra tonight. The Dragons finally smashed their long-running hoodoo in the nation’s capital last year and are seeking to repeat the dose in 2015 as they chase their first win of the season. The joint venture are 0-2 and have only scored two tries, the worst start to a premiership campaign since Canterbury managed just two points in their first two games in 2000. The return of Dugan from an ankle injury shapes as a key inclusion for the struggling Dragons.

Conference netball The new conference system in the trans-Tasman netball league already appears to have heightened domestic rivalries.

The ANZ Championship will this weekend move to the intra-country rounds, which has traditionally seen a lag in interest in the competition.

But with league bosses adopting a conference model, domestic clashes have taken on more importance - none more so than Monday night’s match-up between the Northern Mystics and Central Pulse in Auckland. The two sides, who between them have 11 current Silver Ferns and two English internationals, are tipped to fight it out for the top spot in the New Zealand conference.

Top rally driver takes a break

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGAURDIAN.CO.NZ

Hyundai rally driver Hayden Paddon made a flying visit through Ashburton on Thursday.

Paddon is making the most of his stay in his homeland and an extended break from behind the wheel before a busy calendar.

“We are only in the country for about 90 days a year, so try to make the most of it,” Paddon said “We do work with our spon-

sors at a lot of events to help out the people helping us.”

After missing the first round in Monte Carlo, Paddon recorded his first ever top five finish in Rally Sweden.

“We haven’t had a lot of experience on snow so we really exceeded expectation there. It wasn’t a bad way to start the year.”

Things weren’t as smooth in Mexico where a collision with a rock damaged the car and put him out of action for a stage.

“It wasn’t the best rally, but you live and learn.

“Over the first part of this year it’s all about learning new stages.

“In the second half of the year we get back into the events we know so we’ll be looking to be more competitive.”

Paddon is tenth with 10 rounds to go in the World Series but having only been on the world stage for a short time he is still learning the ropes.

“We are taking it rally by rally

and not really worrying about championship position, but proving ourselves and trying to secure a long term contract.

“To do that you have to be fast enough.

“It’s all about experience and you need to know the tracks you’re racing.

There is a matter of seconds covering first through to 12th, so you need to be on from the start of each stage and make no mistakes, which is a matter of learning the tracks.”

■ OPINION

High-calibre coaches call on Crusaders T here’s been in influx of big hitters into Crusaders territory this week, and I don’t mean the return of players like Richie, DC or Kieran Read.

No, if anything is ailing the red and black team right now, its certainly not a lack of top-line players.

Just like every other team (even the Blues) the Crusaders are stacked with talent, capability and rugby skills.

Its just that they’re not transferring those skills on to the paddock on game day, and Todd Blackadder (a man not unfamiliar with lifting the Super Rugby trophy, he’s done it often enough himself) would hardly be unhappy to see the rugby quality that has walked through his door over the last few days.

Robbie Deans is still fondly remembered by the fans as the man who brought home five Super Rugby titles, and has a permanent place in the ‘FavourSteve Devereux ite Son’ section of the Lancaster MY SHOUT Park honours board.

Currently coaching in Japan, Steve Hansen (you may have he’s in Christchurch for a rugby heard of him) wandered in on re-union, and just happened to Wednesday to have a chat, predrop in to Crusaders’ training sumably Crusaders rugby was for a look around. somewhere high on the agenda, If that’s not enough seriously and previous to his visit All heavy artillery, then add Wayne Blacks conditioning coach Nic Smith to the list.

All in all, that’s some massive coaching firepower invading Toddy’s territory; more than enough to make him feel a little overwhelmed, but instead he’s wisely welcomed the influx with open arms, figuring that while his guests are looking at the bigger picture, the benefits of years of top-class coaching around the place just can’t help but rub off on his own charges.

Sir John Kirwan might just be looking somewhat enviously at the attention the red and blacks are receiving right now, considering the dire straits his mob are currently navigating.

■ METHVEN

Jack Hammer a top chance A long standing, Mid Canterbury based, syndicate and two of Mid Canterbury’s finest harness racing identities will combine in the hope of success at Methven tomorrow.

Talented pacer Jack Hammer will line up in the feature race of the day - the P G O’Reilly Snr Memorial Handicap pace - and will start a deserved favourite off the back of some consistent recent performances against quality opposition. Owned by the Strappers Syndicate, who have raced horses for many years, Jack Hammer showed he was ready for this weekend’s assignment with a fast-finishing second in last week’s Waimate Cup. Trained by Terry May and driven by his son, Ricky, the gelding certainly doesn’t lack for anything in the skill department.

Jack Hammer isn’t the only Mid Canterbury runner in the race though.

last week at the Waimate meeting and has always looked capable of making his way through the grades.

He will start off the front line in the 2400 metre handicap and with his exemplary stand start manners he is sure to get himself in on the action early in an effort to find a forward position.

Earlier in the day the Black-

well family will get a chance to get some of their sponsorship money back in race 7 with Diggerboy.

Racing in the Blackwell Contracting Trot, Diggerboy comes into this week’s race fresh up, but he was an impressive winner at the Mt Hutt workouts on the Methven course last weekend beating Lookslikeatrooper and

Merry mile forecast Sureasyouwereborn is expected to be competitive at Riccarton today, despite operating at a distance short of her best. The four-year-old hit her straps over ground during a lucrative summer campaign and will return to action in the Listed Valachi Downs South Island Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes over a mile. “She’s been going well and while it’s a bit on the short side she has been freshened,” part-owner and cotrainer Barrie Blatch said. “They will know she’s there.” - NZME

Petite One in the process.

The Carl Markham-trained squaregaiter has always shown a bit of ability but other than his maiden victory at Motukarara he hasn’t always put his best hoof forward on race day. Markham also has Tutoko Kid debuting in the opening race of the day.

The ghostly grey qualified at Ashburton three weeks ago and is owned by former Mid Cantabrians, Kelly and Brent Duncan.

Tomorrow’s meeting will also see the return of Todd Mitchell as a guest driver.

The Waikato horseman made his Methven debut last year but was unable to gain a victory finishing the day.

With just three drives this year, Mitchell will have to make the most of his opportunities but he does have three realistic winning hopes. Maiden trotter, Gleneleven kicks off his day for trainer Fred Fletcher before he also takes drives on Super Shakes and Motu Pathfinder. - HRNZ

Big day for Wentwood The team from Wentwood Grange in Cambridge will be watching today’s Golden Slipper meeting at Rosehill with great interest. “Four of the 19 New Zealand-bred runners are from Wentwood,” said Dean Hawkins, who along with his parents Des and Jan and brother Sean run the boutique breeding operation. Kermadec is a favoured runner in the Gr.1 George Ryder Stakes, Tiger Tees is attempting back-to-back wins in the Gr.1 Galaxy and Intimate Moment (Gr.3 Epona Stakes) and Tremec (Gr.3 Manion Cup) are also in action.

NZ migration hits new record last month

BY TINA MORRISON

New Zealand’s migration hit a new record in the year through February, driven by more arrivals and fewer departures.

The country had a net gain of 55,100 migrants in the year through February, almost double the 29,000 gain in the year earlier period, Statistics New Zealand said.

Migrant arrivals rose 16 per cent to a record 112,600, while departures fell 15 per cent to 57,500, the lowest level of departures since 56,700 in the November 2003 year, the agency said.

New Zealand annual migration has broken records for a seventh consecutive month as the nation’s economic prospects look brighter than many other countries.

That’s helping stoke economic activity, pushing up demand for housing and cars while also reducing pressure on wage inflation by boosting the supply of labour.

The decline in migrant departures reflected fewer New Zealand citizens leaving for Australia, where the economic prospects are weaker following a slowdown in the mining industry.

The country had a net loss of 2600 people to Australia in the year through February, compared with a loss of 15,000 people in the year earlier period, the agency said. That’s the smallest net loss to Australia since the March 1992 year when 2300 more people left than arrived.

“Annual net immigration will approach a peak of 60,000 towards the end of the year and remain high into 2016,” Westpac Banking Corp senior economist Felix Delbruck said in a note.

“Net immigration has been supported by the combination of the job opportunities created by the Canterbury rebuild, and the dearth of opportunities in Australia. Neither of these drivers are about to turn.

“We do see the tide turning eventually from late 2016 – possibly quite sharply as the Canterbury rebuild winds down and Australian economic conditions recover. But for now, net immigration is boosting population growth, supporting buoyant retail activity, and adding to housing market pressures – all while alleviating labour shortages and helping keep inflation low.”

times in the next 12 months, unchanged from last month.

The country was expected to have continuous good times ahead over the next five years according to a net 24 per cent of people surveyed, up from 22 per cent last month.

A net 39 per cent of people considered it a good time to buy a major household item, down from 40 per cent last month.

Respondents said they expect consumer prices to ease to an annual pace of 3.1 per cent over the next two years, down from 3.2 per cent in February. They predict an annual 4.9 per cent rise in house prices over the same period, up from 4.5 per cent last month.

e’re swiftly approaching the second anniversary of the sharemarket listing of Mighty River Power (MRP), and a year since the listing of Genesis Energy (GNE).

Investors who participated in the Initial Public Offerings (IPO) of these companies, and who have continued to hold their shares since then, are about to be rewarded for their loyalty with an issue of bonus shares.

MRP shareholders will become eligible for one bonus share for 25 shares held (to a maximum of 200 bonus shares per shareholder) on May 12.

GNE shareholders will become eligible for one bonus share for 15 shares held (to a maximum of 2000 bonus shares per shareholder) on April 16.

In addition, any investors who own Meridian shares on April 29 will need to pay 50 cents per share, being the second instalment receipt due for payment

by May 15. Failure to make this payment may lead to forfeiture of the shares.

Payment of the instalment receipt or receipt of the bonus shares may lead some shareholders to consider selling their shares or increasing their holdings.

We remind investors that they will need to contact a sharebroker if they wish to transact directly on the sharemarket. Buying or selling shares is a simple process, but documentation is required to prove ownership.

Authorised financial advisers can assist you in deciding whether to hold, sell or buy more shares.

New Zealand consumer confidence edged up in March with both current and future measures increasing.

The ANZ-Roy Morgan consumer confidence index rose to 124.6 in March from 124 in February. The current conditions index advanced to 123.7 from 123, while the future conditions index gained to 125.3 from 124.6.

he community good of having a respected local trust take up Ashburton District’s waste management contract must be weighed alongside the short-term implications of ditching a proven corporate provider.

Wastebusters Canterbury wants the contract it lost five years ago with a plan it says could save the district council money and provide employment for up to 20 people.

The plan ticks many boxes.

It could save ratepayers up to $10,000 a month for the next two years and it could return to the council 30 per cent of the money it makes from recyclables.

The accent on recycling could further cut what waste goes to landfill and the potentially labour-intensive sorting that goes with it might mean new prospects to new people.

All up the trust that, with significant community support, continued recycling after it lost the council contract presented councillors a compelling case for a new community-led service.

But it did so as the incumbent contractor asked for the council to use its discretion to extend its five-year contract, which is due to finish in June, for another 24 months.

Envirowaste has had the contract since it bought Mastagard and, according to council staff, there have been no subsequent performance issues serious enough to warrant dropping it.

And while Wastebusters has a plan it hopes can deliver two years of savings, changing contractors could bring new costs and a potentially complicated – and complicating – process.

It could cost in the vicinity of $1.8 million to extend the contract. If this is anything like the cost of a replacement contract, then it ought to go to tender in a process that will cost the council money.

Even then, there is no guarantee anyone else will do better: operators might decide that two years – timed to coincide with the new wheelie bin contract – is not enough time to get a decent return.

Wastebusters have an environmentally and socially aware plan that deserves to be considered.

Next week, councillors will have to decide when that should happen.

LETTERS

YOUR VIEW Wastebusters Wastebusters Trust would like to clarify the saving to the Ashburton District Council (New jobs in rubbish plan, March 20) as being $250,000 over two years not per annum as printed.

We believe our proposal has considerable benefits for our district, the key points being as follows: ■ A saving to council of up to $250,000 over the next two years.

■ Wastebusters will return 30 per cent of net profits to council annually.

■ Wastebusters has obtained a commitment with Wastenet to provide assistance to council with the wheelie bin roll-out, draw-

ing on their experience in this area.

■ Wastebusters will reinvest in the infrastructure of their facility, plus process a wide range of recyclable product, including polystyrene and farm recyclables, therefore making a meaningful contribution to council’s goal of Zero Waste.

■ Wastebusters, through its association with Southland Disability Enterprises, will provide employment for people with disabilities.

benefit our district financially, environmentally and socially.

Council’s service committee has voted to recommend to the full council that the current contract for a further 12 months to examine the proposal.

We believe that this timeframe is excessively long and would urge councillors to give consideration to a three-month extension as was suggested by councillor Cutforth.

We are a community organisation that has the good of the community at heart, plus a commitment to making a difference.

The $250,000 annual saving came from material prepared by Wastebusters Trust prior to Thursday’s council meeting.

Today’s online poll question Q: Are you going to the Methven A&P Show?

Celebrating all that is green S

t Patrick’s Day may have been and gone, but in honour of the folk who have moved from any Emerald Isles to the Canterbury Plains to make a home, this week I’ve devoted my thoughts to the colour green.

It’s a colour with which I’ve been quite happy to get reacquainted, following a summer of ice – the odd scrap of moss just doesn’t quite have the same effect as the lush layers of an evergreen hedge. Besides, when sailing the seven seas, the green tinge that heralds seasickness is to be avoided at any costs.

In general, green is quite a nice colour. Gentle and relaxing, it implies life and health.

It’s the “go” to red’s “stop” –

Hanne Nielsen

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

not that traffic lights are a common feature in most small towns in this area. That’s okay, it just makes the emerald glow at the intersections in town all the more benevolent looking every time the bottom globe illuminates to grant safe passage.

Green is also the colour that I’ve spent three years trying to cultivate in my garden.

Last year’s lettuces were the most successful plants to have endured my very un-green

thumbs, but the hardy broccoli plant by the back fence surely deserves a mention simply for its fortitude, and the one valiant sprig that endured the dogs, the sun, and my neglect, but was unfortunately no match for the over-eager weed eater.

Needless to say, I wasn’t winning any ribbons at the A&P show, green or otherwise.

That’s okay because I get a daily dose of the faded mint version of the hue every morning, thanks to the somewhat chipped paint that clings to our windowsills.

If they could speak, those flakes of colour would have many colourful tales to tell, collected from their years of duty, observing the surroundings even as they were weath-

ered by the sun and snow.

The house may have stayed in one spot for the past eight years, but out on the road there’s more green to tell you where you’re going and when you’re home, providing the background for the white block letters that mark out our highways and destinations. It’s friendly and helpful like that.

Even in the wake of a very dry summer, the metaphorical grass is still greener in this area than in many other places one could choose to live.

Whether it arrives in the guise of a fourth-place show ribbon, a fancy dress hat on a Tuesday night in March, or a scraggly patch of freshly sprouting lawn down the back of the garden, there are many

An Easter gift from God I’ll gladly accept

A

shburton’s surveyor Robert Park must have felt almost god-like as he looked over the barren, wind-blown tussock-covered land on the banks of the “Hakartere” River in 1864 and wondered how a paradise for humans could ever be made from such an unpromising landscape.

Could he have seen in his mind’s eye a magnificent domain, a hospital, schools, churches, civic buildings including a library, art gallery and museum all in that one-mile square grid plan that

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

he laid out? He couldn’t have foreseen a grand stadium and swimming pools in the riverbed or a college with more than 1200 pupils across the avenue from the domain he planned.

He wouldn’t have believed that almost 5000 people would have gathered in that same domain to hear national and international opera stars

perform.

Councils and forwardthinking citizens have helped build a town that has grown and prospered alongside the efforts of innovative farmers making the district one of the most successful in the country.

Magnificent mountains, bush-clad hills, life-giving rivers, lakes and the unending coastline are all there for our use and pleasure. But, do we take them for granted, these God-given gifts?

As Easter approaches shops and businesses implore us to buy gifts of all kinds, eggs,

chocolates, jewellery, as a celebration of the season. But for Christians, Easter is the celebration of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, God’s gift to us all.

“For God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son so that everyone who believes in Him may not die but have eternal life.”

(John 3:16. Good News Bible) Now that’s an Easter gift I’ll gladly accept!

■ NIGERIA

Boko Haram ‘slaughter wives’ Dozens of Nigerian women who were forced to marry Boko Haram fighters have reportedly been slaughtered by their “husbands” before a battle with troops in the northeast town of Bama.

Five witnesses who recounted the massacres to AFP said the Islamist militants feared they would be killed by advancing soldiers or separated from their wives when they fled the town.

They killed the women to prevent them from subsequently marrying soldiers or other so-called non-believers, they added.

“The terrorists said they will not allow their wives to be married to infidels,” said Sharifatu Bakura, 39, a mother of three.

Left - Chadian soldiers display a Boko Haram flag in the Nigerian city of Damasak.

Damasak was flushed of Boko Haram militants last week, and is now controlled by a joint Chadian and Nigerian force.

Nigeria’s military along with forces from neighbouring Cameroon, Chad and Niger have claimed huge victories over the insurgents in recent weeks but defenceless civilians still face serious threats.

According to Bakura’s account, which was supported by others, Boko Haram fighters received word of a military assault on Bama, formerly an Islamist stronghold in Borno state.

The insurgents had decided to flee to the nearby town of Gwoza before the troops’ arrival but first decided “to kill their wives so that nobody will remarry them”, she said.

Bukara’s husband was killed by the insurgents four months ago but she was spared from a forced marriage because she was visibly pregnant.

Boko Haram forcibly married scores of women in Bama after seizing it in September.

Nigeria’s military announced the recapture of the town on Monday.

In brief Fifth arrest in shooting Danish police say they have arrested a fifth man suspected of assisting a gunman who killed two people in attacks in Copenhagen last month. Police said in a statement that the “young man,” whom they declined to identify, would face a custody hearing together with another unidentified man arrested the day before. On February 14, El-Hussein killed a bystander outside a free-speech seminar before spraying the entrance with 27 bullets. Hours later, the 22-year-old El-Hussein fatally shot a Jewish guard outside Copenhagen’s main synagogue. ElHussein was later killed in a police shootout.

Millennium’s best album

In this December 15, 2014 photo, a hostage runs to armed tactical response police officers for safety after she escaped from The Lindt Cafe under siege at Martin Place in the central business district of Sydney, Australia. Inset: Joel Herat was one the 18 people held hostage in the cafe in December.

Cafe reopens after siege A Sydney cafe that was the site of a deadly siege reopened yesterday, with a staffer who was held captive for 16 hours returning to work in a bid to heal.

The Lindt Cafe’s reopening comes three months after gunman Man Monis, an Iranianborn, self-styled cleric, took 18 people inside the cafe hostage and made a series of demands, including that he be delivered a flag of the Islamic State group.

The standoff ended after police stormed the cafe in a barrage of gunfire, killing Monis.

Two hostages were also killed; one by fragments of a police bullet, and one who was shot

by Monis.

Cafe worker Joel Herat, who survived the siege, was behind the counter when the doors opened, wearing his signature Lindt apron.

“It was extremely important for me to be here and support Lindt and support the people I work with,” Herat told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

“Working with these people here, it’s helped a lot in the healing process.”

Plaques dedicated to the two victims, 38-year-old attorney Katrina Dawson and 34-year-old cafe manager Tori Johnson, were installed as permanent memorials inside the cafe, which was otherwise a festive spot yesterday. Hundreds of customers lined up to get inside, chefs stirred vats of molten chocolate and colourful clusters of chocolate Easter bunnies and other holiday treats crowded the shelves.

Steve Loane, Lindt Australia’s CEO, said in a statement that reopening the cafe was

the right thing to do, and New South Wales state Premier Mike Baird said it symbolised the importance of moving forward.

“It’s a difficult day, but in many respects a hopeful day,” Baird said. “The city was tested, it was challenged, but today is a strong reminder that we march forward.”

Many customers felt the same. “You’ve got to come here united,” said Praveen Swarup, who was first in line. “This is the best way to overcome an incident like what we had.” - AP

Cheating rife Education authorities in eastern India say 600 high school students have been expelled after they were found to have cheated on pressure-packed 10th grade examinations. Officials said they were tightening security at high schools in Bihar state after television footage showed parents and friends of the students scaling the outer walls of school buildings to reach classrooms where exams were being held to pass along cheat sheets. More than 1.4 million 10th graders are sitting for the test across the country. They face tremendous pressure because they must pass the exams to continue their education.

■ TUNISIA

Islamic State claims responsibility for attack The Islamic State group claimed responsibility yesterday for the attack that killed 21 people at a museum.

But Tunisian authorities said the two slain gunmen had no clear links to extremists, and analysts said existing militant cells are merely being inspired by the group, rather than establishing its presence across North Africa.

Police announced the arrest of five people described as directly tied to the two gunmen who opened fire at the National Bardo Museum.

Four others said to be sup-

Adele’s hit record 21 has been named Britain’s best-selling album of the millennium so far. The British singer’s second record, which was released in 2006, has sold around 4.7 million copies in the UK. This puts her ahead of late star Amy Winehouse, whose 2006 album Back To Black was second, with sales of around 3.6 million.

The figures released by the Official Charts Company show British artists dominated sales over the last 15 years, with James Blunt’s Back To Bedlam in third place.

He’s followed by Spirit by Leona Lewis and No Angel by Dido rounding out the top five in fourth and fifth place respectively. A surprise addition to the list was Ed Sheeran’s X, which claimed 39th spot just nine months after its release.

- WENN

porters of the cell also were arrested in central Tunisia, not far from where a group claiming allegiance to al-Qaeda’s North African branch has been active.

Tunisians stepped around trails of blood and broken glass outside the museum to rally in solidarity with the 21 victims — most of them foreign tourists from cruise ships — and with the country’s fledgling democracy.

Marchers carried signs saying, “No to terrorism,” and “Tunisia is bloodied but still standing.”

In claiming responsibility for the attack, the Islamic State group issued a statement and audio on jihadi websites applauding the dead gunmen as “knights” for their “blessed invasion of one of the dens of infidels and vice in Muslim Tunisia.”

Several well-armed groups in neighbouring and chaotic Libya have already pledged their allegiance to Islamic State based in Iraq and Syria, but the attack of such magnitude in Tunisia — the only country to emerge from the Arab Spring uprisings with a functioning

democracy — raised concern about the spread of extremism to the rest of North Africa.

Analysts cautioned against seeing every such attack as evidence of a well-organised, centrally controlled entity spanning the Middle East, saying instead that small groups could merely be taking inspiration from the high-profile militant group.

“I think (the Islamic State) is probably taking credit for something it may not have played a role in,” said Geoff Porter, a security analyst for North Africa.

Top leaders of the European Union emerged from a meeting with the Greek prime minister yesterday telling him much what they have for weeks: Come up with a reform plan if you want more money to stay solvent.

And do it fast. The EU leaders said Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is committed to providing a list of specific reforms in the coming days that would improve his country’s balance sheet.

Tsipras, however, said he had not committed to “recessionary measures” that would worsen the plight of his people. Hanging over the summit of 28 heads of state and government are fears that the hard line of the Greek government formed in January could cause the country to drop out of the euro, something that would trigger a crisis for the currency shared by 19 nations.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) The Sun’s return to your sign on Saturday opens the door to your birthday month and a new solar year and a very exciting one at that.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Create the kind of weekend where there are as few demands as possible, with the more time you can spend navel gazing and relaxing the better.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) The Sun’s return to your friendship sector sees the solar spotlight on your social life, just in time for the weekend and a chance to catch up.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) While there’s little chance of keeping your professional or money hats off over the weekend they can’t be allowed to dominate everything.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Just in time for the weekend, the Sun’s return to an adventurous part of your chart is a chance to get into and embrace the weekend spirit.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With your relationships in safe hands the Sun’s return to your financial sector is a chance to shine the solar spotlight on money matters.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) The Sun’s return to your relationship sector will reveal the personal and/or relationship tensions of the past have gone, with a corner turned.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) With the Sun returning to your work sector and the doors open to second chances on the career and income fronts they’ll all want attention.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) The Sun’s return to a playful part of your chart comes as Venus spends her first weekend in your work sector, creating a need for balance.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Make this a weekend where home, family and matters of the heart need to come first, focused on the things and people that matter.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) In the first weekend of 24 day period where the doors are open to second chances on the friendship and relationship fronts communication is key.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) While there’s a need to keep your professional and money hats on over the weekend, it’s more a chance to regroup and process recent developments.
