FULL STORY

Fatal crash at Chertsey P2

Unemployment surges locally

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

INSIDE

P2

Unemployment in the Ashburton District has rocketed up at the same time as the number of job seeker numbers nationally remain almost static.

The latest figures released by the Ministry of Social Development show that at the end of March there were 317 registered job seekers in the Ashburton District, up 14 per cent from the 278 receiving job seeker support in the quarter to March 31, 2015.

Compared to March 2014, numbers were up 17 per cent.

Ashburton has gone from running with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country to showing an increase for the quarter, that has now

stepped ahead of the national change – 0.2 per cent.

The surge in unemployment numbers came as a surprise to employment specialist Jim Henderson.

His company Agstaff had not noticed a significant increase in the number of people looking for work, but he suggested the surge in people on job seeker support could be laid at the door of an early end to the killing season at Silver Fern Farms.

“The works always skews the numbers and the first chain has gone off earlier this year so that could be a contributor,” Mr Henderson said.

The early finish meant there would be a gap of about a month until the bulk of seasonal work started, he said.

He doesn’t believe the increase is dairy related, saying he had not noticed an upsurge in dairy farm staff looking for work.

“I’ve always said that our dairy farmers are a bit smarter than the rest, they hang onto their good staff.”

While job seeker numbers are almost unchanged nationally, against the same quarter last year, sole parent numbers have dropped by 5.7 per cent. The total number of beneficiaries nationally has also declined, by 1.5 per cent.

The total number of people receiving a benefit across all three categories – job seeker, sole parent and supported living in the Ashburton District has risen from 975 last March 30 to 1001 a 2.6 per cent increase.

■ FATAL CRASH

Truck, car collide; one person dead

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

One person died after a car and a large truck collided near Chertsey yesterday afternoon.

Emergency services were called to the scene, on State Highway One just south of Chertsey – directly outside the Ashburton Boarding Kennels and Cattery – shortly after 4pm and found the driver of the car had died at the scene.

The driver of the truck was believed to have been shaken, but not injured.

The large Opzeeland Transport truck and trailer unit was left jack-knifed across the road following the crash, while the car was on the eastern verge of the road.

Emergency services draped a blue tarpaulin over the car and a

couple of hundred metres south of the crash scene another large truck was parked across the road, sheltering oncoming motorists from the view ahead.

A St John spokesperson said an ambulance and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter were sent to the scene, but as the driver of the car died at the scene and there were no other injury victims requiring transport to hospital, the helicopter was stood down.

A New Zealand Transport Agency spokesperson said State Highway One was closed for several hours and all traffic was detoured down Thompsons Track and Somerton Road.

The police serious crash unit was expected to remain on site for a number of hours last night to determine how the crash occurred, before the scene could

be cleared – including what was likely to be the difficult job of removing the truck – and the road reopened.

The fatality was just the second to have occurred on Mid Canterbury roads so far this year. Geraldine man Henry Boyd, 19, died in a crash on Good Friday. The crash scene – on Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road near Mayfield – was discovered shortly after 9am that morning but it’s believed the crash may have occurred earlier in the morning, possibly as early as 1.30am.

With that fatality having occurred at a long weekend, and another long weekend about to begin, police and roading authorities are urging motorists to take care on the roads to ensure everyone gets to their destination safely this Anzac weekend.

Anika Moa rolled into town yesterday to play in front of a large gathering of local children on her In Between Nap Times Tour.

The short child-focused concert was part of a nationwide tour to launch the acclaimed singersongwriter’s new album, Songs for Bubbas 2, which shot to the top of the charts just a week after its release.

Moa played a selection of songs at a crowded Allenton Rugby Club rooms yesterday, which met with the approval of her young audience.

A number of the youngsters took up a spot on the improvised dance floor to show off their moves, while others chose to enjoy the concert from further back.

Moa was basking in the glory of the album’s rapid rise on the

charts, saying it proved parents were looking for “awesome tunes” for their kids.

The album follows on from her first children’s album, Songs for Bubbas, released in 2013.

Her inspiration for both albums was her twin sons.

“There is no better focus or enthusiastic participants than a group of happy kids singing and dancing along.

“These 12 songs have earned my children’s personal stamp of approval and so it’s rewarding to see youngsters across New Zealand enjoying the music too,” she said.

The album features lyrics in both English and Maori.

Yesterday’s concert was supported by the Ashburton branch of Porse In-Home Childcare.

Today Moa will be playing for young Christchurch audiences.

Anika Moa was a hit with local kids at the Allenton Rugby Club rooms yesterday.

■ ANZAC DAY

White crosses a tribute to Methven’s fallen soldiers

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

For the second consecutive Anzac Day more than 500 white crosses will grace the district’s cenotaphs as a tribute to those whose lives were lost in World War One. The tradition began last year as New Zealand marked a century since the Allied landings at Anzac Cove on, Turkey’s Gallipoli Peninsula. The RSA launched the nationwide project to commemorate the lives of the 18,200 Kiwi soldiers who were killed in battle or who later lost their lives from injuries.

The crosses will be placed at cenotaphs around the country each Anzac Day until the centenary of the war’s end on November 11, 2018 has been marked.

Ashburton Compulsory Military Training (CMT) members took up the challenge of assembling, painting and inscribing the names of the 520 Mid Cantabrians who died as a result of the war.

The soldiers’ names were copied from war memorials around the Ashburton District.

This week Methven RSA convenor Viv Barrett once again installed 66 crosses in front of the Methven Heritage Centre as a poignant reminder of those who left the Methven district to make the ultimate sacrifice on foreign soils.

Commemorative crosses will also be placed at the cenotaphs in Ashburton, Hinds, Mayfield and Rakaia in time for Monday’s Anzac services.

■ ROAD SAFETY

■ BIRTHDAY WISHES

See bad driving, then call police

Queen Elizabeth turns 90

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Police are urging anyone who sees bad driving this long weekend, to alert them to it, so they can act early and prevent tragedies on the roads.

Ashburton Police sergeant Janine Bowden said police received a number of calls to the *555 line – which motorists can use if they witness concerning driver behaviour – on Wednesday night, but that wasn’t unusual.

She estimated 90 per cent of local calls to the line were about driver behaviour on state highways, and the complaints were varied.

“We recently stopped a driver we believed was fatigued and we actually forbid him to drive for a period of time, until he’d had a sleep,” Ms Bowden said.

She recalled another incident where a woman drove from Timaru to Ashburton with her lights on full beam, prompting a number of complaints.

When stopped, the woman said she felt she couldn’t see the road properly with her lights on dip, so decided to keep them on full beam, blinding oncoming traffic.

“I think (Wednesday night) was someone weaving within their lane and crossing the centre line,” she said.

Getting registration numbers of vehicles of concern was vital, and if it was continuing behaviour and you had a passenger who had a cellphone, it was often helpful to get video or pictures which could be used as evidence if someone denied the behaviour, Ms Bowden

said. Something that’s been seen a lot in New Zealand recently is video of foreign drivers driving on the wrong side of the road.

“It’s frightening when you look at some of that footage,” Ms Bowden said.

If it’s after the fact, reports can also be made at local police stations and formal complaints filled in to be followed up.

“It’s really great if people call us because obviously these people could be under the influence of drink or drugs, or some people could be fatigued, and some people might not be used to New Zealand road conditions, or even just driving too slow,” Ms Bowden said.

With this weekend being a long weekend, and many people likely to be heading away, traffic is likely to be heavier than usual. But Ms Bowden said the usual messages applied every day – don’t drive while drunk, drugged or fatigued, plan ahead, pay attention, wear your seatbelt, stick to the conditions of your licence, be patient, and don’t speed.

New Zealand sent its birthday wishes to Queen Elizabeth II as she turned 90 yesterday.

Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae sent a message to the Queen on behalf of New Zealanders.

He said there was no other contemporary world figure whose birthday was celebrated so widely.

“For most of us, Queen Elizabeth is the only sovereign that we have ever known.

“She has been a constant presence in our lives, and she is our longest-reigning monarch and she is the oldest person to have occupied the throne.

“Throughout a lifetime of enormous change, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has maintained a remarkable sense of grace, stability and continuity, above all through her sustained and dedicated service to her role and her peoples.

“In doing so, she has earned the affection and respect of people all over the world.”

Sir Jerry and Lady Janine held a celebratory dinner at Government House last evening.

Prime Minister John Key, who is in China, said he had written to the Queen on behalf of the New Zealand Government.

■ DANGEROUS DOGS

In brief

‘All options on the table’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

All options will be on the table when it comes to ensuring every dog in the Ashburton District is a legal resident, says council environmental monitoring manager Rick Catchpowle.

As the Auckland Council moves to grant an amnesty to owners of unregistered, menacing dogs, Mr Catchpowle said that was one of a raft of measures the Ashburton council would consider to ensure every dog in the district was registered.

“Amnesties do work, and we’ve

done this in the past with some success,” he said. “I’d applaud any efforts taken to haul these dogs in.”

Auckland has introduced the registration fine amnesty from today until June 30 in the hope that owners of unregistered, menacing dogs would register those dogs. The council is also offering owners the opportunity to have those dogs de-sexed, micro-chipped and provided with a muzzle for $25.

The move has come in the wake of a spate of dog attacks across the country and the Auck-

land council has made it very clear that once the amnesty ends it will be cracking down on menacing dogs.

With the current registration year ending on June 30, Mr Catchpowle said he was fairly confident the council had a good handle on the district’s menacing and dangerous dog population but would look at all options to ensure every dog in the district was registered.

“There are unregistered dogs out there that we’re aware of and we’re following those up. We still see education as being the key.

In the new year we’ll be looking at a range of different things, at all the different options,” he said.

The council has just completed a survey to find out residents’ concerns around dogs and the results of this are being collated.

“If there are some key identifiers in this, then they’ll be looked into,” Mr Catchpowle said.

As at October 30, the council had 45 dogs on its books that were classified as menacing – 15 for behaviour, eight for breed characteristics and 22 by breed.

It also had six dogs that had been classified as dangerous.

Fun run/walk a fundraiser A fun run/walk being held at the Ashburton Domain on Anzac Day will raise money for Mid Canterbury’s returned servicemen and women.

Ashburton’s Anzac Day Memorial Run/Walk is into its fourth year, and organiser Gary Whiting is hoping a good weather forecast will result in a good turn-out on Monday afternoon.

“The more you get, the more money we raise,” Mr Whiting said.

Around 100 people turned out last year, and all up about $2500 was raised.

Participants will run or walk around a set 1km track at the domain, and there’s no set distance they must cover – people can do anywhere from 1km, to 8km. The latter distance is the distance Anzacs would have covered to get to a village once they arrived at Gallipoli.

There will be sausages for those taking part, and some musical entertainment.

Entry for adults is $10, or $3 for school kids.

The fun run/walk will start at 1.30pm and there’s no need to pre-register, just turn up at the domain, by the pavilion on Walnut Avenue.

Dementia seminar Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a group of conditions that affect how well our brains work. It can affect anyone at any age, but as people age, their changes of developing dementia increases. About twothirds of people with dementia have alzheimers but Alzheimers Canterbury says it is possible to live well with dementia. The organisation is holding a seminar in Ashburton on April 27 that will provide people with a range of information to maintain brain health. This will include diet, managing stress, exercise and social and mental stimulation.

The seminar will be held at the Ashburton MSA from 5pm to 7pm on April 27. It is open to anyone who wants to know more about maintaining brain health.

Art exhibition Entries are now open for the Ashburton Society of Arts’ 52nd annual exhibition. Artists can submit up to two paintings and three miniatures and crafts people up to three pieces. Entries close on June 3. Works should be delivered by courier on June 23 to the Ashburton Art Gallery and in person on June 24. Because the society strives to maintain a high standard the exhibition committee will not accept poorly presented work. All work submitted must be original and have been created over the previous 12 months. It must not have been exhibited previously. This year’s exhibition in the Ashburton Art Gallery will open on July 4 and it will then be open daily from 10am to 4pm.

■ HOUSE OF BRICKS

Building creativity, imagination Take 90,000 pieces of Lego and 100 children and the result is holiday heaven.

That was the scene at the Ashburton Library yesterday when the House of Bricks came to town, opened its storage boxes, spilled Lego pieces of every shape and size onto the library floor and encouraged children to let their creativity run wild. And it did, for three hours.

Watched and occasionally assisted by mums, dads, nanas and grandads, children from toddlers through to young teens got down

Guardian photographer Amanda Konyn yesterday indulged her inner child and joined Ashburton children on the floor at the Ashburton Library, and let her imagination free in the Lego box. on the floor and built – towns, buildings, railways in an atmosphere of co-operation.

And that’s one of the big wins when you tip the Lego blocks out, said business owner Rachel de Vries.

She’s been building up her stocks and entertaining young-

sters for around two years and she’s constantly restocking, replenishing and upping her vast stores of bricks and accessories.

Her inspiration for the brick business came from her husband Jason. He’s a lifelong Lego fan and belongs to the adults Lego group AFOL (Adult Fans of Lego).

“I really felt there’s been a gap in getting play with imagination and creativity back into schools and the community. Hands-on building is what inspires kids to be things like architects and engineers in the future. The bricks are a great learning tool.”

Creative activities were a great

way to break down barriers between children and to encourage them to play together, Mrs de Vries said.

Yesterday’s three-hour buildathon at the library received a big tick of success from children’s librarian Adrienne Moody. She’s keen to make the brick building day a regular on the school holidays’ calendar.

The best of brick building will be on display on July 16 and 17 when the annual Brick Show is held in Christchurch’s Horncastle Arena.

■ UNITED STATES

Painting the town red

BY HARRIET ALEXANDER The Empire State building, a few streets from where he stood, was turned red in his honour.

Trump Tower was bathed in red, white and blue.

The Stars and Stripes hung in the centre of the rose marble and gold atrium.

And a man not known for his understatement made a claim about his presidential election campaign which was bold, even for his standards.

“We are going to get more delegates than anyone projected in their wildest imagination,” said Donald Trump, crowing about his New York primary victory.

“We don’t seem to have much of a race any more,” he said, adding that his campaign was “really rocking.”

Victory in his home state was no surprise, although it has certainly given him a spring in his step.

But just how “rocking” is his campaign? And does this now

Donald Trump on the campaign trail. mean he has it sewn up?

To win the Republican nomination, a candidate needs to claim 1237 delegates.

If any of the three remaining candidates fail to clinch 1237 then the party will have a contested convention – which could produce a wildly unpredictable result.

Journalists are rubbing their hands in glee at the anticipation of such drama; party grandees are tearing their hair.

Before yesterday’s contest, Trump led the Republican race

with 756 delegates, ahead of Senator Ted Cruz with 559 and Ohio Governor John Kasich with 144.

Trump picked up 89 of New York’s 95 delegates, putting him on a narrow path to clinch the nomination by the end of the primaries - if he keeps winning.

Kasich won four delegates and Cruz was shut out.

The last two delegates will have to wait until the absentee votes are counted.

Trump has won 47 per cent

of the delegates awarded so far.

He has to win 57 per cent of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination and avoid a contested convention.

He now has 845 delegates.

His job will still be hard, but it’s possible.

Given the complexities of delegate allocations in each state, Trump still would have just a tiny margin for error in the final seven weeks of the primaries.

He will be happy to have won in New York, although not particularly surprised.

“It’s really nice, I have to say, that the people who know me the best, the people of New York, give me this kind of vote,” he said.

“I can think of nowhere that I would rather have this victory,” he said, emerging to the podium to the strains of Frank Sinatra’s New York, New York.

“Nobody is going to mess with us – that I can tell you.”

Nobody except, perhaps, his own party.

Most beautiful woman Jennifer Aniston has been named People magazine’s most beautiful woman of 2016, 12 years after she first won the honour.

Aniston, 47, said she was “very, very flattered” to be named again, telling the magazine she had a “sort of very excited, teenage-y kind of moment” when she heard the news. People also named the Friends star the most beautiful woman in 2004 when the TV comedy series was in its final season. Recent winners of the honour include Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lopez and Lupita Nyong’o. Aniston said she started paying attention to her looks and her body early in her career after an agent told her she failed to get a part because she was “too chubby”. “I was like, ‘What?!’ But my diet was terrible,” she said. “Milk shakes and French fries with gravy. It was a good thing to start paying attention.”

Step aside, Batman The Hunt for the Wilderpeople is bigger than Batman and Superman. The local hit movie passed the double-superhero flick Dawn of Justice at the NZ box office on its third weekend and is on track to becoming the biggest movie at local cinemas in 2016 so far.

Director Taika Waititi’s Wilderpeople has grossed $4,817,414 as of last weekend, passing Batman V Superman’s total of $4,602,183.

Chch jobseeker numbers soar

BY SIMON COLLINS

ing the overall total of all beneficiaries down by 1.5 per cent to 279,891.

Total beneficiaries dropped below 10 per cent of the working-aged population for the first time since the global financial crisis hit in 2008. At 9.9 per cent of all people aged 18 to 64, beneficiary numbers are almost back to their 20-year low of 9.8 per cent achieved in March 2008.

But jobseekers, who declined from 5.4 per cent of the working-

aged population five years ago to 4.2 per cent in March last year, were unchanged at 4.2 per cent again last month.

The jobseeker numbers tell a story of two nations, with increases in regions that have been hit by lower dairy prices as well as in Canterbury, but with falls in other areas.

The biggest increases after Canterbury were in Taranaki (up 12 per cent) and the West Coast (up 9.7 per cent), which

have both been hit by the double whammy of lower dairy prices and plunging markets for natural gas and coal.

Jobseekers have also increased in Gisborne (up 9.4 per cent), Waikato (up 7.8 per cent), Marlborough (up 1.4 per cent), Wellington (up 0.9 per cent), Tasman (up 0.8 per cent) and ManawatuWhanganui (up 0.5 per cent).

Market pricing is now suggesting no chance of a move at the April Fed meeting (down from 4 per cent a month ago), and a 20 per cent probability of a move in June (down from 39 per cent).

The latest global dairy trade (GDT) auction results have provided some encouraging signs for the farming sector, with headline GDT prices up 6.1 per cent in the last month. However, prices are still down 8.8 per cent year-to-date and 12.0 per cent below last year’s levels.

The key event coming up on the local calendar is the Official Cash rate (OCR) review next Thursday. Most economists are still expecting at least one more cut to the OCR, which would take it to 2.00 per cent.

The cut may not occur at next week’s meeting due to stronger than anticipated recent developments, including a slightly stronger than forecast inflation report, an improvement in dairy prices, and robust housing data.

All of these factors could see the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) wait until the June meeting before taking any action.

However, the NZ dollar has been stubbornly strong, recently rising above $US0.70 for the first time since June last year.

Market pricing currently suggests a 46 per cent chance of another OCR cut at the upcoming April meeting, with this probability rising to 66 per cent for the June meeting.

The US earnings season has started, with 83 S&P500 companies having reported so far and a deluge of high-profile names set to follow over the next two weeks.

Earnings expectations for the S&P500 have come down sharply since the beginning of the year, with quarterly EPS growth forecasts declining 9.2 per cent.

The market is now expecting the first quarter of 2016 to yield a decline in overall earnings per share (EPS) of 8.1 per cent (relative to the same quarter a year ago) compared with a forecast 1.2 per cent increase at the beginning of the year.

This will make for the weakest quarter since the second quarter of 2009.

However, those that have reported so far have been surprisingly solid, with 60 per cent of companies beating revenue forecasts and 86 per cent exceeding earnings estimates.

arkets have rebounded strongly since midFebruary, erasing much of the losses that occurred early in the year.

Share markets in the major developed economies were down around 20 per cent at their lowest point back in February, relative to 2015 highs. The last two months have seen them rebound approximately 15 per cent and have pushed some into positive territory on a year-to-date basis.

The local NZX50 has continued to be an outstanding performer in 2016. Including dividends, the market has returned 9.1 per cent year-to-date and since the end of September (barely six months ago) the index has risen an incredible 23.4 per cent.

Turning to the key global events of the last few weeks, China has again been in focus. Annual GDP for the March quarter was in line with expectations at 6.7 per cent, but slightly down on the previous quarter. This is the lowest reading since the March quarter of 2009 and represents the third consecutive quarter of sub 7.0 per cent growth.

Chinese manufacturing data rebounded in March, after some weak readings in January and February. This trend has continued for the other monthly releases including industrial production, retail sales and fixed asset investment, with upbeat data across the board.

In the US, we have seen expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes decline, providing some support for financial markets and causing a decline in the US dollar. Recent comments

Jobseeker beneficiaries in Canterbury have jumped by 18 per cent in the past year as the massive rebuild after the Christchurch earthquakes winds down.

New figures released by Social Development Minister Anne Tolley yesterday show that numbers on jobseeker benefits rose nationally by 0.2 per cent to 117,134 in the year to March, the first year-on-year increase for six years.

But the turnaround was mainly due to the wind-down in Canterbury, where jobseekers jumped from 7701 a year ago to 9100, the highest March figure since the current jobseeker benefit was created in 2013.

Numbers dropped by 1.1 per cent in the rest of the country, including a 7.3 per cent fall in Auckland, which is experiencing a building boom.

The national tallies also dropped by 5.7 per cent for sole parents and 0.4 per cent for the supported living benefit, bring-

ing and tourism, with jobseeker numbers down 3.7 per cent in the Bay of Plenty and 2.1 per cent in Northland.

Jobseekers also dwindled in Nelson (down 4 per cent), Otago (down 1.1 per cent) and Southland (down 0.6 per cent).

Overall the number of young people on all benefits dropped most (down 3.9 per cent), partly reflecting the relatively young working-aged population in Auckland.

Beneficiaries aged 25 to 39 fell by 0.3 per cent, those aged 40 to 54 fell by 2.9 per cent, and those aged 55 to 64 increased by 0.6 per cent as the post-war “baby boomers” neared retirement age.

However, minority ethnic groups failed to share in Auckland’s prosperity, even though they are younger and mainly concentrated in the city.

Nationally, beneficiary numbers dropped by 6.2 per cent for Europeans, but increased by 0.1 per cent for Maori, 3.6 per cent for Pacific people and 5.4 per cent for Asians and others.

OUR VIEW

Changing face of our job market Sue Newman

W

e’ve always prided ourselves on our high employment rate in the Ashburton District.

When other parts of New Zealand have been battling rising numbers out of work, we’ve been amongst the small cluster of districts where finding a job if you wanted a job has never been too difficult. Sometimes it might not be the job you wanted with the pay you’d hoped for but there were generally jobs of some kind on offer.

The tide appears to have turned, however with job seeker numbers for the last quarter telling a new and disquieting story. For the first time in years, the number of people signing on for an unemployment benefit is growing.

And that’s the new reality of life in our district. We might believe we have the ability to ride out financial storms that hit other parts of New Zealand, we might say our diverse economy provides the ultimate insulation, but you can’t argue with figures.

We’re kidding ourselves if we think the Ashburton District will ride unscathed through the heavy winds that are hammering the farming industry. Those winds might be blowing strongest in the faces of dairy farmers, but they’re also buffeting other sectors too. Dairying does not stand alone. Around them there’s a huge support network, from the arable farmers who provide grazing and hard feed to the urban businesses that provide goods and services on-farm and to rural families.

A victim of the rise of dairying has been one of our biggest employers, our freezing industry.

Where once it employed hundreds for a significant part of the year, as sheep numbers have fallen, work has disappeared, the killing season has shortened.

Staff who once may have looked at a fill-in job for a few months are now looking at a longer time away from their main employer, the works, than they are in what was their primary job.

There is no question that the shape of employment in our district is changing. Jobs are disappearing and in their place new jobs will come. This will create new opportunities to learn new skills. That’s the upside, but for every opportunity there will be a down- side, the people who cannot adapt to a new way of working.

Things certainly have evolved now days. Mattel has also announced the release of the 4-Lane Elimination Race Track, the Sto & Go Playset, the Dash and Crash S Track Set, and the essential Car-Go Race Hauler, a truck that’s designed to hold and transport up to 23 additional Hot

Wheels cars.

A 4-Lane Elimination Race Track!

How awesome does that sound? I’m not sure what sort of reply I’d get from my 15-year-old son Josh if I suggested purchasing one of those.

Probably something that would have earned me a hand squeeze back in the day.

POLL RESULT

Today’s online poll question Q: Is your dog registered?

N

ow there’s a blast from the past! They are bringing back Matchbox toys. Well, that’s what we called them. Mattel is bringing back classic Hot Wheels from the ’80s.

Children of the 1980s now have kids of their own, and with parenthood comes the inevitable desire to share youthful experiences with the next generation.

The new retro collection of Hot Wheels includes the ’87 Toyota Pickup, the Volkswagen SP2, the ’77 Plymouth Arrow, and more.

We had a box full of Matchbox toys, picking one each was our reward for behaving when we got dragged around the shops with Mother.

It was a pretty easy choice though, behave and get a new Matchbox toy or get THE STRAP when we got home. To be fair on the olds though, we did have a three strikes rule in place.

To the best of my memory, Mother never lost it at us in public, we had a system similar to what an employee would receive today. If we misbehaved (hard to believe that three boys one year apart in age would ever be naughty), we got two warning hand squeezes (akin to the verbal and written warning) down town and any more indiscretions equated to us being fired at home.

Well our butts were on fire after a couple of whacks from the leather demon. In fact, it would leave stripes analogous to a race track across our bumpers.

My favourite Matchbox toy was the Blue Shark. It was very quick down the Hot Wheels track. In fact when I think back to Christmas as a kid I automatically think about the Hot Wheels track we got one year.

Yep, all three of us Hooper boys had to share it. I’m sure that went very well with no scrapping at all.

It was the two-lane variety that had a loop finish, although that would only suit some of our cars, so we soon got rid of it in favour of more race track. We played with that track for hours on end and no doubt receiving plenty of verbal warnings (these replaced

In brief

■ GOLF

New era for Aorangi Golf Aorangi Golf has begun a new chapter in the way it provides golf services to its 27 affiliate clubs and 4000 members in Mid and South Canterbury.

In late 2015, in an effort to improve the quality, efficiency and cost of the services it provides, the Aorangi Golf Board made the decision to outsource its administration services to neighbouring district Canterbury Golf.

Four months later, the move has been deemed a resounding success

by Canterbury Golf General Manager Grant Lewis.

All district communications and correspondence are being provided via the Canterbury Golf office in Christchurch, who boast three full-time staff available to support Aorangi Golf.

Lewis said clubs have already noticed an improvement in the timeliness and quality of information being provided, and interclub competitions.

As part of the initiative, Aorangi Golf now has a new website, which enables more streamlined up-todate access to interclub information and news.

Increasing sponsorship income is also another goal, with small success already being made – $13,000

was recently received from Trust Aoraki to help with representative costs.

Aorangi Golf will remain an autonomous entity, with the board making all governance decisions and all financial decisions.

“With the success of what we have done, I believe this will be a model for other golf districts, and sports to follow,” said Lewis.

“Creating efficiencies around administration and operational services is something that all district sports bodies should look at, particularly smaller ones that sometimes do not have the income base to add value to their member clubs.”

Aorangi Golf President Gavin Smith said the strong relationship with Canterbury Golf has allowed for a smooth transition.

“We could not have done this without the degree of goodwill and friendship that exists between us and Canterbury,” he said.

“We have actually formalised a partnership between Aorangi, Tasman and Canterbury called Mainland Golf.

“This will be an important tool for providing golf services in the mid and upper South Island going forward.”

Adam Scott has pulled out of this year’s Olympics citing personal and playing reasons. In a blow for golf’s Olympic credibility, the world number seven from Australia has informed captain Ian Baker-Finch of his no-show, leading to criticism from some sporting luminaries. Legendary swimmer Dawn Fraser told her Facebook followers she had worked three jobs to fund her Olympic dream. Scott said he had made the decision “as a result of an extremely busy playing schedule around the time of the Olympics and other commitments, both personal and professional.” - AAP Kiwi international Kevin Proctor admits there is an extra element of “grudge” every time he faces up to New Zealand Warriors. The back-rower is one of five New Zealanders in the Storm’s line-up for Monday night’s Anzac Day blockbuster at AAMI Park. There was always plenty of feeling when the two clash and it runs deeper for Proctor, who is a regular in the New Zealand national side.

“It is always exciting playing the Warriors and it is always a tough match. They’re kind of like our bogey team and it’s always a close game, so I’m expecting the same on Monday.”

Matthew Dellavedova has ignited the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 17-point romp over the Detroit Pistons in game two of their NBA Playoff series. The Cavs struggled early, but the game changed at the start of the second quarter when the Australian point guard came off the bench.

Family On the road to recovery affair

■ RUGBY

By James ForD

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Hampstead’s Falepau Aumalaga is on the road to recovery after sustaining a season-ending knee injury in a pre-season clash against Temuka last month.

Hampstead were trailing 24-3 when disaster struck in the 45th minute.

The incident bore similarities to Highlanders’ prop Brendon Edmonds’ season ending knee injury at the breakdown against the Western Force earlier this month.

“It was during a breakdown while trying to steal the opposition ball,” said Aumalaga.

“The opposition player tried to clear me out, but fell on my left side on the side of the knee.”

The 31-year-old dislocated his knee and tore three ligaments, his MCL, ACL and PCL – bringing a premature end to his season.

“I was so disappointed to end my rugby journey this year like this while the season was about to start,” he said.

“I was looking forward to commit and play great rugby for Hampstead this year, but was unexpectedly shut down.”

Reconstructive surgery was

scheduled for March 25 in Christchurch, but the flanker requested a transfer to Wellington to be close to his family during his rehabilitation, and went under the knife on April 1.

It has now been three weeks since the operation, and Aumalaga’s prospects are promising with doctors advising a nine month layoff to ensure a full recovery.

“At the moment I am slowly starting with some simple exercises at home, as instructed by a Wellington hospital physio,” he said.

“Muscle movements and knee bending adjustment in the meantime, but more physio appointments are on the way in coming weeks.”

Aumalaga’s Hampstead will be gunning for a third successive win when they host Saracens tomorrow.

Rennie looking overseas post-contract

By Wynne Gray

Current Chiefs coach Dave Rennie

Chiefs coach Dave Rennie’s plans to push off overseas seem to be firming.

He has been touted as someone to add to the All Black panel, however that may have to wait until after the next World Cup. “I have always talked about going overseas just to experience different culture and so on and so I am pretty keen to do that when my contract runs out here in 2017,” Rennie

told Radio Sport’s The Crowd Goes Wild Breakfast.

“I think from an All Black point of view Steve Hansen will stay anyway and that will be a good move from New Zealand Rugby.

“They are going well and defending champions so why push someone out the door?

“I think he will stay until the next World Cup and then there will be a number of people putting their hand up.”

Rennie was discussing a range of topics as the Chiefs

point their attention towards Wellington tomorrow night and their match with the Hurricanes.

It would be some clash and he hoped the game would match those expectations.

Motivation was not a problem for these games because of the personal and collective matchups in what should be a high-paced highly physical duel, Rennie said.

He got more nervous when his side had to play a side like the Kings.

If ever a game of rugby could be dubbed a family affair, it will be on Sunday when Michael and Allan Alaalatoa create history in Canberra.

The Alaalatoas – whose father Vili was a Samoan international – will become the first brothers to play against each other for Super Rugby teams from different sides of the Tasman when Allan’s Brumbies host Michael’s Crusaders.

“Mum’s gone around and made T-shirts with little badges - half Crusaders, half Brumbies,” Allan said yesterday.

“You’ll see them. There will be a massive group of them wearing them.”

Mrs Alaalatoa has also planned a family feast on Friday night.

“Hopefully he doesn’t get any food poisoning,” 22-year-old Allan said of his fellow front-rower brother Mike, 24.

“Mum asked me what we wanted for dinner before the game.

“I know that he likes pasta so I told mum just to cook some steak, just to put him off.”

Banter aside, the siblings and their respective teams have much to play for.

Currently top of the Australian conference, the Brumbies have lost their past five clashes with the Crusaders, who will again arrive in the national capital on form and riding a six-match winning streak.

Adding to the occasion will be the Brumbies’ incumbent Wallabies centre Tevita Kuridrani taking on his cousin, destructive Crusaders winger Nemani Nadalo.

“It’s always fun playing against my cousin,” Kuridrani said.

Until it comes to trying to stop the 195cm, 130kg juggernaut, whose two tries proved the difference in the Crusaders’ 37-24 victory over the Brumbies in the corresponding fixture last year.

“He’s a pretty hard man to stop, but that’s what we’ll be working on,” Kuridrani said.

Competition heats up

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition is beginning to take shape with week five on the horizon.

Methven will face Burn/ Duns/Irwell, while Hampstead host Saracens, Celtic entertain Waihora, Southern travel to Hornby, and Rakaia play host to Prebbleton tomorrow.

Section one, which includes Mid Canterbury teams Methven and Hampstead, is currently led

by Southbridge, who remain the only unbeaten side after inflicting a 30-8 defeat on Burn/Duns/ Irwell last weekend.

Glenmark, Lincoln and Burn/ Duns/Irwell, who have each lost just once, round out the top four behind Southbridge.

Saracens’ clash with Hampstead tomorrow will be a pivotal one, with both sides on 10 points in fifth and sixth respectively.

Regan Broker’s side have had a resurgence in recent weeks.

After losing their opening two matches, Hampstead downed Rolleston 25-5 and then West Melton 27-23 to climb the ladder and keep themselves in contention for the top four.

The same cannot be said for Methven, however.

The reigning Combined Country Competition champions are the only team in section one without a win, having lost to West Melton (20-13), Rolleston (25-17), Kaiapoi (23-18) and Glenmark (44-11), and will face another tough ask against a formidable Burn/Duns/Irwell side this weekend.

The top four of section two currently features two Mid Canterbury sides.

Ashley lead the charge with a 100 per cent record, followed by Celtic, Waihora and Rakaia.

Bledisloe in London?

London and even New York are being considered as venues for a Bledisloe Cup game in 2020.

The Australian Rugby Union is considering the move during the $780m renovation of Sydney’s ANZ Stadium, according to the Daily Telegraph. “We are a global game so global opportunities will present themselves,” ARU general manager Rob Clarke said. “Argentina are playing their home game against us at Twickenham in the Rugby Championship this year, so there is a precedent there.

One change for Canes Blade Thomson’s return from injury is the only change to the Hurricanes starting side for their crucial Super Rugby match against the Chiefs at Westpac Stadium tomorrow. Thomson comes back into the side after missing the last match due to a bruised knee, replacing Vaea Fifita, who has been named on the reserves bench.

Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd said his selections reflected the strong performance against the Rebels in Melbourne last week where his side picked up five valuable competition points.

David Dennis will celebrate his milestone 100th match for his home state after a decade of whole-hearted performances for the Waratahs.

However, it appears that the big money on offer in French and European rugby and with the All Blacks will keep Williams in rugby beyond this year when his current contract ends.

Golden point ‘must go’

By James macsmith and Laine cLark Wayne Bennett doesn’t want to see another grand final won, or lost, in the same manner as the 2015 decider, calling for the NRL to scrap the extra-time approach for this season’s playoffs.

The Brisbane coach has been a long-term critic of golden point.

He restated that opposition in the immediate aftermath of the 2015 grand final, in which Johnathan Thurston nailed the titlewinning field goal shortly after Ben Hunt knocked the ball on from the start of the golden-point period.

“We have to address it.

“One point and one set can’t lose a major game in the playoffs or the grand final - it can’t happen,” Bennett said yesterday at Broncos training at Red Hill.

The decision will be discussed at a meeting next month as momentum grows for golden point to be punted from the playoffs.

It could still remain as part of the regular season, though.

“The regular season is a whole lot different to the playoffs.

“There is a huge amount at stake in the playoffs; you want to be fair as you can with both teams,” Bennett said.

“The 1989 grand final was the last

“No one is relying on one moment and, all of a sudden, you have won the game.

“I realise the game has to be finished that night.

“We have to find a way to finish it fairly to all involved.”

Souths coach Michael Maguire,

who replaced Bennett on the NRL’s competition committee earlier this year, also wants golden point eradicated from the playoffs.

“I haven’t spoken to (NRL CEO) Todd (Greenberg) and those guys on the committee but, around the finals, I do agree with what a lot of the coaches are saying.

“It is a game you want to play out to work out who wins rather than having it determined by that one point,” Maguire said.

would return in time, but says he relied on his tackling to help him find his rhythm.

“A big part of footy and my own game is my defence,” said Johnson.

“I feel like if I can get that right, the other stuff, I’m lucky I don’t have to worry about too much.

“The running side of things, I just know that will come back.

“For me, it was about getting the base of my game solid and working with [Warriors defence coach] Justin Morgan on my timing and techniques.”

It’s worked a treat throughout the first seven rounds, with Johnson’s defensive success rate up at 87 per cent, having made 117 of 135 attempted tackles. Whether it be wrapping the ball up with a

And if Storm coach Craig Bellamy plans on sending wave after wave of attacking runners at the No7 at AAMI Park on Monday, he can think again.

The tactic may help to tire him out and limit his impact on attack but Johnson produced his best defensive display of the season in the round three 21-14 defeat to Melbourne at Mt Smart Stadium, when he made 31 tackles for just one miss.

Johnson’s dazzling running game is a feature of any NRL highlights package but his tackling is often overlooked despite him developing that area over the past two seasons.

The 25-year-old halfback focused on his defence during the early stages of his return from the broken ankle that ruined his 2015 season and says it provided him with a solid foundation off which he could improve his game.

22/4 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You know the “where” and the “what,” you just don’t know the “who” yet. Your job is to put offerings in front of as many candidates as possible. The right “who” will show up soon.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Are you the impulsive child who can’t move forward without the resources or permission of your guardian? Either way, the dynamic is getting old. Maybe someone should break the rules. Maybe that someone is you.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): What makes the job hard or neasy is the same thing: attitude. Attitude adjustment seems to be a headspace matter, but physical exertion can be just as important to setting your energy in a positive way.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Old-fashioned thinking could be the cause of conflict, especially with senior family members or colleagues. Approach change gently. It’s hard for some!

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There are those who act without thinking about the risk. As impressed as you may be with them, you’re braver. To assess the risk and move forward anyway takes real courage.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There will be argument over what is a privilege and what is a right. But to the grateful heart, does it matter? Gratitude inspires more of what’s given, regardless of what’s deserved.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If only you knew the inner lives of others. You’ll get a glimpse today. You’ll be so surprised by someone you thought you knew, you may reconsider your whole relationship with them.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): How did you sleep with the moon glowing in your sign last night? Today has a reflective sheen to it as you ponder and assign meaning to the happenings of yesterday.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): A little bit of pretending may be in order. Get into the spirit of an activity – acting “as if” and hoping that the requisite feelings and interest will catch up with you.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Apply what you know to the puzzle at hand but do not try to solve anything today. Even if only one piece is missing, it’s a significant piece that could change everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You feel funny for asking for things you don’t really need when there are so many in the world who have so much less.

On the other hand, you can only live your own life.

Why shouldn’t it be as rich as possible?

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There’s no reason to be jealous but if you are, just know that this can be a positive emotion. It teaches you what you really want and what you could work on.

So He put His arms around you and whispered, “Come with me.”

With tearful eyes, we watched you, And saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.

Lydia on a hat-trick L

ydia Ko rates her season as A+ already as she attempts to win a third straight title in the LPGA Swinging Skirts tournament.

The world number one has had a stellar start to 2016 with three tournament victories including the year’s first major and the successful defence of the New Zealand Open.

Ko says considering her big focus is later in the year, she couldn’t have asked for much more.

She says coming into the year, the Olympics were a huge goal and she just wanted to play with some consistency in the majors.

Ko’s first professional tournament win was at the Swinging Skirts in San Francisco.

Meanwhile American Hall of Famer Julie Inkster has taken a pop at Golf Digest, which appears to be guided by the adage that sex

sells when choosing its female cover subjects.

The latest magazine will feature the famously alluring Paige Spiranac, a former college player, on the cover headlining a package on the “Futurists”. Inkster noted that Ko, the Kiwi teenage prodigy and world number one, had never made the cover.

Spiranac can’t make it as a pro golfer but has still been called “The Hottest Female Athlete On Earth” and is a social media star who posts provocative photos.

Inkster, whose outstanding career includes seven major titles, wrote: “I know that stuff sells, but I think people could learn more in an article about Lydia.

“It’s kind of where our society is right now.

I don’t agree with it, but it’s their magazine and they can do what they want.”
