50c boost worth $125m locally

BY MICHELLE NELSON

dairy industry group vice chairman Will Grayling said the news was a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.

“It’s bloody good news,” Grayling said.

“Even with a $5 payout we would like to think some people can start getting back on their feet and start recovering – there’s no magic number, farmers just need to keep pushing on with it, they haven’t had much choice.”

Country-wide dairy farmers have been in survival mode with two years of depressed payouts to contend with.

At its peak in 2013 the farmgate payout was $8.65kg/MS but by last season the record high had plummeted to $4.30kg/ MS, including dividends.

Yesterday’s forecast also lifted the price 20c above DairyNZ’s break-even estimate of $5.05kg/MS. The revised forecast would be well received by everyone in the district, in par-

A hike in the farmgate milk price will inject millions into the local economy and lift spirits across Mid Canterbury, an industry spokesperson says.

On the back of the fourth consecutive rise in world dairy prices at the GlobalDairyTrade auction overnight on Tuesday, Fonterra announced the 50 cent rise, bringing the 2016/17 forecast to $5.25 per kilogram of milksolids.

Combined with the forecast earnings per share range of 50 to 60 cents the total payout forecasts lifts to $5.75 to $5.85 before retentions.

Nationally this equates to an extra $1b, $78,980 for the average New Zealand dairy farmer and inject more than $125 million into the Mid Canterbury economy.

ticular rural businesses, Grayling said.

Fonterra chairman John Wilson said the global milk supply had continued to reduce and demand has remained stable since the co-operative last reviewed milk prices in August.

“Milk production in key dairying regions globally is reducing in response to low milk prices,” Wilson said.

“Milk production in the EU for 2016 is beginning to flatten out and our New Zealand milk collection is currently more than 3 per cent lower than last season.

However despite recent improvement in GDT auction prices, the high NZD/ USD exchange rate is offsetting some of these gains.

“There is still volatility in global dairy markets and we will continue to keep our forecast updated for our farmers over the coming months,” Wilson said.

■ CIVIC CENTRE

Stage two of consultation wrapped up

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The report cards are in, on the community’s take on the location of Ashburton’s new civic centre and library, but it could be several weeks before it’s number one site is known.

Opus Architecture has wrapped up its second public consultation stage on the civic centre project and is now working through the hundreds of email survey and written responses.

The community was asked to comment on four possible locations – the current civic centre site in Baring Square west, Eastfield on Cass Street, the Balmoral Hall site on Cameron Street or the Methodist Church and county building site in Baring Square east.

Opus ticked the Methodist Church site as its preferred option, but widely divergent opinions have been voiced by the community over the month long period of consultation.

Business services manager Paul Brake said the project was always going to be one that would be decided by the council, after the October 8 elections and he anticipates a report from Opus summarising the community feed back will be released in November.

It will then be up to councillors to decide whether they have sufficient information on a preferred site to proceed to the next step or whether they need more information before they can make a final site decision, Mr Brake said.

“Councillors will need to go back over the information they already have and the information that comes out of the consultation and consider all of this before they make a call.”

The project has been budgeted at $16 million in the council’s long term plan and all four site options come with options for the council to sell surplus land. It owns or part owns all of the sites except that occupied by the Methodist Church.

■ INSPIRATIONAL LEADERS

Local woman Tradeswoman of the Year Ashburton’s Carmen Sutton is among the inspirational leaders for women in the construction field.

Sutton, who works for McIntosh Builders, took out the Tradeswoman of the Year title at a Women in Construction awards evening in Wellington last week.

The awards celebrate the outstanding achievements women

are making in New Zealand’s construction industry.

With 10 per cent yearly growth rates predicted through to 2019, more women are being encouraged to work in construction.

Winners of the second annual Hays NAWIC Excellence Awards were hailed as inspirational leaders who are passionate about changing the construction sector.

Sutton was praised for her strategic leadership and outstanding communications skills.

A home renovation project saw her switch careers from truck driving to building houses and she has never looked back. She now leads sole-charge building projects while also training apprentices.

Outstanding leadership and a commitment to putting people

first saw Lynne Makepeace of Fletcher Construction and Karen Sanderson from Beca jointly win the Professional Woman of the Year Award. Lynne won the award for the construction category and Karen won the award for the professional category.

Makepeace leads a team of 180 to ensure that Auckland’s $1.5 billion Waterview Connection

project is completed on time, on budget and with zero harm to the team.

Sanderson’s innovative approach to architecture and her commitment to “putting people first” earned praise from the judges. She set up Beca’s architectural team in Christchurch and is driven by a humanistic approach to architecture.

Today’s construction is tomorrow’s legacy If a home of excellent design and exceptional quality of workmanship is important to you, then look no further than Des Millar Construction. The quality home builders.

With more than 30 years of building quality homes for the Mid Canterbury community, Des has a strong reputation for “old school” workmanship, backed by results.

Mini Olympics held at St Joseph’s School

BY EMMA MOODY

EMMA.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Olympics may be over, but the spirit lived on at St Joseph’s Catholic School yesterday when they held their mini-Olympics.

The children competed in their family groups and the events ranged from long jump to the gumboot toss.

There are four family groups at the school and each is represented by a colour, either red, yellow, green or blue.

The students had been working together to make banners for their family groups.

Organiser of the mini-Olympics at St Joseph’s, Steph McCallum, said while the students made their banners, they were also spending some time with their family groups learning about the values of their school and the Olympic values.

“On their banners, they had to have one of the school values, the Olympic values and the names of the students in the team,” she said.

Seven-year-old Eliza McKenzie helps the yellow house jump up in the points chart with a huge leap in the long jump event at St Joseph’s Catholic School’s mini-Olympics.

Use of CCTVs in town rising SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

If you walk through Ashburton’s town centre at any hour of the day or night someone will be watching you.

On walls, in trees, under verandahs, CCTV cameras are silently whirring, recording every movement and every moment, all in the name of keeping Ashburton’s inner town streets safe and crime free.

While the Ashburton District Council owns most of the inner town surveillance devices, many businesses also have cameras monitoring activity around their buildings, says security expert Hartley Curd.

NIWA forecaster Ben Noll says the weather is expected to generally co-operate with near or above average maximum temperatures for much of the country. The vernal, or September, equinox is the start of astronomical spring in the southern hemisphere and start of astronomical autumn in the northern hemisphere.

It occurs the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator from north to south. This happens on September 22, 23, or 24 every year. Daylight saving starts on Sunday at 2am.

cameras in town is all about safety and crime prevention – not about big brother, Mr Curd said.

“They’re there so that if something happens and there’s a problem, we have recordings that can be looked at,” he said.

The council recently had two high-power cameras installed in the town centre and the images these captured were in such fine detail it was possible to view activity on Chalmers Avenue from the town centre chessboard, Mr Curd said.

All of the town centre cameras fed data back to a central base at the Ashburton Police station where activity was constantly monitored. All data was then filed so it could be viewed in the

future if needed, he said.

Mr Curd has watched the use of CCTV cameras increase over more than 20 years in the security business and said they were now a very important and sophisticated crime prevention tool.

“They make people much more accountable for their actions. Gone are the days when you can do things and get away with it.”

While some cameras were discreetly placed, others were quite obvious. They were not hidden and awareness campaigns and signage was often used to make people aware they were in a camera monitored area, he said.

Council environmental ser-

vices group manager Jane Donaldson said the council planned to install more of the high resolution cameras in the town centre.

The cameras provide 360 degree coverage and operate with equal effectiveness, day or night, Ms Donaldson said.

Cameras were also installed in the EA Networks Centre and its car park and at toilet blocks in rural villages.

The council has a CCTV policy that spells out the steps that need to be taken before any data recorded by its cameras can be viewed by the public. Requests have to be made to the police and if the request has substance, it will be forwarded to the council, she said.

A schoolboy has been left with scraped knees after falling into a playground sinkhole at South Wellington Intermediate School on Tuesday, Radio New Zealand reported. The sinkhole, in an asphalt court, is about the size of a dinner plate at the surface, but the size of a dining table beneath, RNZ said. Acting principal Howard Young told RNZ he was not sure of the extent of the problem.

“We’ve had the emergency man, we’ve had the regional adviser in, they’ve organised builders in to sort of create a barricade around the hole itself,” he said. It is believed a broken connection in an underground stormwater drain caused the hole.

Schools vandalised Three schools in Tokoroa were been vandalised on Tuesday night, with up to half the windows at some schools being smashed. Tokoroa Central School principal Debbie Follas said half the windows at her school had been smashed. She said those responsible did not appear to have tried to enter buildings, and nothing had been stolen However, the damage would cost thousands to repair. Police were notified and conducted scene examinations and were reviewing CCTV footage.

Senior sergeant Jason Henderson said it was “an act of pointless destruction that is costing schools and our community large amounts of time and money”.

■ ZONTA

Mid Canterbury’s women of achievement

BY SUSAN SANDYS & LINDA CLARKE Former prime minister Jenny Shipley has been awarded a Zonta Club award for her achievements in empowering women.

Shipley, who started her political career in Ashburton 30 years ago, was back on Tuesday night to accept the award, which is one of 50 around the country made by the national Zonta organisation.

Zonta’s 50 Women of Achievement is about recognising women who have, over and above their careers, contributed to empowering girls and women in New Zealand or around the world.

Zonta’s Ashburton president Robin Kilworth said it was a privilege for the club to nominate Shipley.

“She is a shining example of a woman leader who has had several changes of career and been hugely successful in each of those changes, and globally she is one of the influences in New Zealand that has the capacity to make a difference anywhere in the world.”

Shipley addressed the Zonta gathering after being presented with the award. New Zealand’s first female prime minister is 64 and has a busy corporate life, chairing a number of high profile

companies and involved internationally in a wide range of organisations. She is a proud grandmother of three, with daughter Anna and family living alongside her and husband Burton in Auckland, and son Ben and his family in Sydney.

Shipley encouraged her audi-

ence to take risks and have open minds as leaders in their communities. She did not let herself be defined by failures and referred briefly to the collapsed Mainzeal company, which was a complex part of her life.

The New Zealand economy and Mid Canterbury would not be as

it was today if people had not taken calculated risks, she said.

Open minds and strong leadership were needed to take opportunities in overseas markets. With growing middle class aspirations in countries around the world, the people our children and grandchildren did business with

would be different to who we had traditionally done business with.

She said she had been able to apply her political skills to corporate life and remained hugely committed to the development of female leadership. Diversity in organisations resulted in better management. For example, companies with boards which included significant numbers of women had not fallen as hard after the global financial crisis, and they had sprung back quicker. It had been entirely different when she had started out.

“I remember how lonely it was,” she said, and she did not plan on seeing the next generation have to go through the same.

She was involved in projects in Namibia, where the prime minister and the deputy prime minister were both women.

“I’m proud as punch of them,” she said.

Shipley’s leadership career spans decades and she was initially selected as the National Party’s candidate in the Ashburton area 30 years ago.

Shipley is the second Ashburton woman to be recognised in the 50 Women of Achievement.

The club honoured Rural Women life member Sandra Curd earlier this year.

Irrigation group launched

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A freshly-launched independent irrigators group will assist Mid Canterbury farmers negotiate the minefield of irrigation consent renewals.

The Mid Canterbury Independent Irrigators Group met for the first time on Tuesday. Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury initiated the inaugural meeting, but the group will stand independently and is open to all farmers who

hold individual irrigation consents in the district.

Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury arable industry spokesperson, Joanne Burke, said about 65,000ha of Mid Canterbury land was irrigated under individual water consents.

“With the increasing complexity of compliance, consent renewal, cost sharing and increasing line charges, which are affecting individual consent holders, it makes sense to form a group,” Burke said.

“There’s such a myriad of technical information and requirements that it can be incredibly challenging for individual farmers.

“If we are not at the table we could be on the menu – so it’s vital we have a voice at the table to keep up with and assist farmers to be ready for any changes.’

Burke hoped MCIIG would be able to draw on the experience of the Hinds Drains Working Group, which has recently worked

through a consent renewal process.

“The Hinds district has already been covered off, but the area north of the Ashburton River and Chertsey will be reviewed in 2018,” Burke said.

“We need to get individual water users together so we can have shared knowledge, strength in numbers and then we can form area specific co-ordinated groups.

Ashburton Chertsey farmers can learn a lot from the Hinds

group, then we can tap into the knowledge within each group.”

The service will essentially be provided by farmers for farmers, offering a cost-effective and seamless way for independent irrigators to negotiate the complexities of environmental compliance.

“We need to have someone at the table when our continuing irrigation rights are under negotiation, because there’s a moving goal post at the moment.”

Students raise funds for youth centre Magpies Ashburton College students have contributed nearly $1000 to the Base Youth Centre to help fund a novel programme in the coming school holidays.

Base co-ordinator Kerryn Gray said the programme, which would include an amazing race, would run every weekday of the school holidays and would be based for the first time at Maniao-Roto scout park.

She said the children aged between 10 and 14 were registering already for the programme, which would also include swimming, cooking and other activities.

College students were keen to support the organisation as one of their Year 13 executive members, Sarah Tiffen, is also a member of the Base Youth Centre Trust.

Students held a mufti day on September 8 with donations amassing $995.40.

Tiffen gave a cheque for that amount to Gray yesterday at the senior students’ forum.

Gray said the youth centre would introduce some changes in Term 4.

Rather than be just a drop-in centre after 3pm, Base would of-

fence sessions and classes to help raise confidence to deal with bullying.

She said the students’ dona-

tion was much appreciated as Base was run by a charity that had to apply for funding so youth could attend for free.

Mapgies are causing a nuisance at Ashburton Borough School and neighbouring Ashburton Playcentre, swooping and frightening children.

Principal Sam Winterbourn said the birds nested in a large macrocarpa tree on the kindergarten and swooped and bombed students.

No-one had been injured but it gave the children a fright.

The school is looking for solutions on how to manage the birds and one class has written to the Ashburton District Council to seek their advice.

Winterbourn said suggestions were also welcome from members of the public.

Magpies are particularly aggressive during the nesting season which begins in June/July and may run through to January. They are territorial and can patrol up to five hectares, bombing people and other birds and clacking their beaks as an additional warning.

Organ donors get full compensation Organ donors will be compensated for the full cost of lost income while they recover under recommendations backed by all parties in Parliament.

The health committee has reported back on a member’s bill

by National MP Chris Bishop and unanimously recommend it be passed - with stronger support for donors.

Bishop’s bill proposed reimbursing people who donate an organ for altruistic reasons at 80 per cent of pre-operation earnings for up to 12 weeks.

The health committee has recommended boosting this to 100 per cent of a donor’s income, which is the level of support provided in the United Kingdom.

BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL

Currently, organ donors in New Zealand get the equivalent of the sickness benefit.

Today, Bishop said that was a significant barrier to organ donation.

The legislation is likely to have its second reading in October.

Bishop hopes it will pass into law by the end of the year.

Other recommendations by the committee are to shift responsibility for compensation from the Ministry of Social Development to the Director-General of the Ministry of Health.

The committee heard from many submitters who noted the difficulty donors had experienced when seeking their entitlements from MSD.

See in-store or phone 03 308 5119

Another change is to allow the new compensation to be backdated to the date that the legislation is signed into law - a move designed to guard against the risk that some people would delay donation until becoming eligible.

The legislation will also make clear that donors will receive reimbursement for foregone employment income, regardless of whether they are a beneficiary.

Andy Tookey of the organ donor group GiveLife NZ has submitted for 100 per cent of earnings to be reimbursed to donors, and said he was happy with the report’s recommendations.

“Not only is the donor saving a life but they are also saving the health system a fortune by getting

a patient off expensive medical treatments. Why should they go out of pocket as well?”

In June the Government released a consultation document setting out a number of changes designed to encourage higher rates of organ donation.

It followed a Ministry of Health review into the rates of liver, heart, kidney and lung donations in New Zealand, which are low by international standards.

At present, there are 11.8 organ donors per million people - just over half the rate of Australia.

Some campaigners had called for bold changes, such as a register for donors or possibly even binding consent, which prevented families from overturning a

relative’s wish to donate. Those suggestions were not adopted by the ministry.

In its consultation paper, the ministry said doctors were uncomfortable with any system that potentially overruled a family’s decisions about removing organs.

The ministry wanted to make it easier for people to change their donor status on their driver licence and access information.

People should be able to change their status at a GP appointment, or while getting a warrant of fitness or new car registration, the ministry said.

Further advice will be provided to Health Minister Dr Jonathan Coleman before the end of the year.

Laughing back in fashion What do you get when you cross a fashion show and a comedy show? You get a Plunket fundraiser called What a Woman Wants, which is a two-and-a-half hour travelling comedy show, hosted

by Lisa O’Neill.

O’Neill, a fashion stylist, has done over 70 shows raising funds for Plunket all over New Zealand.

The show is about back bringing Kiwi women all the fashion advice they need to spruce up their wardrobe and covers body shapes, accessories and makeup while previewing the new season’s fashion from Farmers.

“I love the challenge of working with women who have given up all hope of looking good, because

of a change in body shape or income.

“Many women I work with are shopping constantly but still have nothing to wear. My philosophy is that having the right stuff is better than having lots of stuff,” she said.

Plunket Mid-South Canterbury community service leader; Jane Denley, said the show is a chance for women to take some time out for themselves and enjoy a fun night out.

“Lisa really is such a laugh,” she said.

What a Woman Wants will be at the Ashburton MSA on October 17 and tickets are available from BNZ Ashburton or Ashburton Plunket, 222 Cameron Street.

■ NIGERIA

Extremists claim 40 killed Islamic extremists said they have killed more than 40 troops from a multinational force in an attack on a convoy in northeast Nigeria — the fourth attack in three days following a lull as Nigeria’s homegrown insurgency confronts a leadership struggle.

Analysts are warning that the struggle could lead to more violent attacks that will kill more people in a 7-year-old Islamic uprising started by Boko Haram that has killed more than 20,000 people, forced 2.6 million from their homes and spread to neighbouring states.

The Islamic State’s West Africa Province annihilated a convoy of the African Coalition Crusader forces in the town of Malam Fatori, the SITE Intelligence Group reported, translating an Isis communiqué posted on social media. There was no way to independently verify the claim and no word from Nigeria’s military.

Eighteen people were killed earlier this week when insurgents ambushed another convoy, gunned down Christians leaving a church service and beheaded a village head and his son.

This was the first Nigeria attack claimed by the Isis group since August, when it named a

Shekau pledged Boko Haram’s allegiance to the Islamic State in 2015, giving it its first sub-Saharan franchise. Islamic State said it replaced Shekau in August, in a dispute that revolved around his indiscrimi-

nate killings of Muslims.

The Islamic State communiqué did not say when the convoy was attacked but claimed it resulted in killing more than forty and wounding dozens of troops from Nigeria and neighbouring countries. The multi-national force is also battling Nigeria’s home-grown Islamic insurgents who have

spread their extremist uprising to Chad, Cameroon and Niger.

Watching soppy films brings us together Watching emotional films and plays brings us closer together and can even boost our physical pain thresholds, scientists have shown.

Researchers studying the effects of fiction on our emotions compared levels of endorphins released by people who had watched a sad film and those who had watched a less hard-hitting documentary.

To measure the levels of the feel-good chemical, the team from Oxford University asked

participants to do a wall-sit test and found that those who had watched the sad film could hold the physically taxing position for more than 13 per cent longer than they could before the film.

On average, those who watched the documentary held the position for nearly 5 per cent less time.

The wall-sit involves the participant holding an unsupported seated position with their back against the wall for as long as possible.

Questionnaires answered by participants also showed that they felt a stronger bond with their fellow viewers than those in the group who watched the documentary.

The study was part of the team’s investigation into why we often find ourselves transfixed by fiction.

Oxford professor of evolutionary psychology, Robin Dunbar, said the results suggested that our interest in emotive fiction may be because of its positive effect on

Mr Aliaga explained. “I went to look, it was my ring with the date of our wedding.”

Mr Aliaga said he lost it while swimming several months after getting married. Ms Cuesta gave the ring back to the grateful pair in a village near Zaragoza this week.

After hearing grindingly bad news month after month as global dairy prices fell, dairy farmers will be celebrating Fonterra’s announcement that its forecast farmgate milk price will be lifted by 50 cents a kilogram of milksolids.

To anyone outside the dairy industry that might not mean much, but to dairy farmers who’ve been watching their income drop below the viability line, this cash injection will actually put them back on the right side of the ledger.

If you don’t make your living in milk, it’s difficult to imagine how, what seems like such a small change, can actually mean so much, but it’s an extra $78,980 for the year for the average cow cockie.

That doesn’t mean the industry is out of the woods, it’s working in an extremely volatile market, but it does mean for the first time in almost two years dairy farmers are able to look ahead with some degree of confidence.

You have to admire these guys.

They’ve hung in there during some incredibly tough times.

Many would have been carrying eye-watering levels of debt, particularly those who bought, converted or expanded when the farmgate payout wriggled around $8/kg.

Dairy farmers work incredibly hard and in good times their rewards are incredibly high, but if your business has high debt it doesn’t take much of a shift in the financial landscape to take you from king to pauper.

Bitten by two tough years, the lure of a higher payout at the end of the season is unlikely to see farmers return to an open spending policy, however.

If any good has come out of the dairy downturn it could be that those who’ve spent up large when times were good finally realise what the industry experts have always said – bank on a $5 payout and bank the rest. Anyone who’s been around farming knows that it’s a cyclic industry, that good times are inevitably followed by bad, and that the survivors will never be the flashest cockie on the block, they’ll be the cockies with cash in the bank.

YOUR VIEW Hammers and Horsehair I had the great pleasure of attending a superb musical evening at Violinos [near Methven] on Monday evening.

The venue was ideal and the two musicians at the peak of their profession playing music from Beethoven to Mendelssohn.

I pay a big tribute to Ruth Hall who had gone to considerable trouble to host this event, but where was everyone?

Part of the proceeds was to be donated to the Ashburton Lions, though I doubt costs were covered. The ticket price was modest and included supper.

Was it the title putting people off or was it the fact it was on a Monday night when many have other commitments?

I do hope that should Ms Hall offer another concert, she will have a better attendance.

To those who were there on Monday evening, it was an engrossing evening by candlelight, transporting the audience back to the intimate atmosphere of the 18th century drawing rooms of Europe.

■ GLOBAL DAIRY TRADE AUCTION

Dairy product prices up

BY MARGREET DIETZ Dairy product prices rose at the Global Dairy Trade auction, though gains fell short of expectations as whole milk powder prices unexpectedly moved lower.

The GDT price index rose 1.7 per cent to $US2975, up from $US2920 at the previous auction two weeks ago. Some 35,086 tonnes of product was sold, down from 36,748 tonnes at the previous auction.

Whole milk powder slipped 0.2 per cent to $US2782 a tonne. Futures traders had anticipated an increase of more than 11 per cent, AgriHQ dairy analyst Amy Van Ossenbruggen said in a note before the auction.

“Volumes of whole milk powder on offer are as forecast at this event, at 19,250 tonnes; however, forecast volumes over the coming months have decreased from earlier forecasts,” according to Van Ossenbruggen.

On Tuesday, Dairy Crest Group, a UK milk processor, said it expects an increase in milk prices to

Migration rises in August

BY SOPHIE BOOT New Zealand’s net migration rose in the year through August, returning to the record set in the June year on immigrants from Australia, the UK and China.

Annual net migration reached 69,100 in the year to August, equalling the previous annual record set in June this year and driven primarily by more arrivals, Statistics New Zealand said.

Migrant numbers dipped slightly in July, snapping what had been a 23-month run of record-breaking annual net gains.

Arrivals rose 6 per cent to 125,000 in the August year, one quarter of whom were returning New Zealand citizens. Departures fell 3 per cent to 55,900, of which some 60 per cent were New Zealand citizens leaving,

with the decrease driven by fewer Kiwis migrating to Australia, the government statistician said.

A swelling population stoking economic activity and record inflows of tourists have helped offset the impact of a rural sector that had been reeling from weak dairy prices.

At the same time, a rising population has posed problems for policymakers by fuelling demand for an already-stretched housing market in Auckland, while restraining wage growth. The nation’s per-capita growth has been anaemic.

The Treasury said in the Budget that it expected annual net migration would peak in June at 70,700, before returning to the long-run average of 12,000 by June, 2019.

“We expect annual net migra-

tion to gradually slow over the coming years from current record levels,” Westpac senior economist Satish Ranchhod said in a note.

“Foreigners who have arrived on temporary work or student visas over the past three years will start to depart. In addition, an improving Australian economy is expected to entice New Zealanders across the Tasman over time. However, this will take time, meaning annual net migration will remain at elevated levels for some time yet.”

Of those new migrants who arrived in the latest year, a net 32,187, or 47 per cent, settled in Auckland, followed by a net 9.9 per cent moving to Canterbury, a net 4.7 per cent going to Wellington and a net 3.8 per cent settling in Waikato.

“While these assets can lead to short-term volatility in returns, our emphasis on growth is appropriate given the fund’s long-term horizon and ability to diversify,” she said.

The New Zealand Superannuation Fund delivered a lower return in its latest financial year, dragged down by negative returns from global equities.

The fund reported a 1.89 per cent return after costs and before tax for the year ended June 30, down from a 14.6 per cent return the previous year, according to its latest annual report. The fund, which will help pre-fund national superannuation payments from 2032, finished the June year valued at $30.1 billion, up $560 million from the previous year.

Chairwoman Catherine Savage said the result was robust given the low growth and volatile envi-

ronment. Global equity markets experienced negative returns through the year, with the MSCI developed markets and emerging markets indices returning a combined negative 1.88 per cent.

The fund outperformed its passive reference portfolio benchmark by half a percentage point, or $155 million, during the year, primarily due to a strong performance by active investments in timber and infrastructure. The fund’s single largest investment, a 42 per cent stake in forestry business Kaingaroa Timberlands, increased in value by $82 million to $1.49 billion.

Savage said the fund manager’s board remained focused on the long-term, weighting the fund to-

■ ARABLE RAIN WATCH

Arable farmers watching the skies

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury arable farmers have enjoyed a mild winter but the dry spring is of concern to many.

Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury arable sector spokesperson Joanne Burke, who farms near Rakaia, said the soil moisture content was “way back on previous years”.

“The crops are looking good at the moment and feed is growing well now, however, we desperately need rain to sustain it,” she said.

“Rainfall is back 50 per cent on recent years – the Methven area usually collects about 800mm but is currently sitting at about 500mm.”

The mild winter has resulted in surplus winterfeed in some areas, but without rain that will soon be gone.

Meanwhile, arable farmers are sitting tight with barley planting acreage slashed back up to 45 per cent in the wake of the dairy downturn.

Pricing is also depressed on the back of a worldwide grain glut.

“It’s at an all-time low for us – the pricing coming in for milling contracts were just ridiculous levels, in the mid-300s – we’ve got to question whether that’s sustainable,” Burke said.

With a two-year moratorium on pea cropping in the Wairarapa, farmers have been given alternative crops to grow. But this hasn’t paid dividends for Mid Canterbury, with just a handful of extra pea contracts coming this way.

Farmers are looking for other options rather than leave paddocks fallow, including small seed multiplication crops.

While some stock has come in from North Canterbury, three years into a regional drought farmers have undertaken massive destocking programmes creating a shortfall in store stock and bumping prices up.

“Putting this all together, the lamb prices are so high at the moment with aggressive competition for the limited numbers of

Arable farmers are bracing for another dry year. sheep due to destocking supply and demand,” Burke said.

“We are anticipating another dry year – we are all farming for risk at the moment, we just need more rain.”

On the other side of the Ashburton River Valetta farmer David Clark is also ramping up for a dry summer.

Although the final tally is not yet in, the mild spring has produced a good crop of lambs and has been conducive to getting crops in the ground.

But low water levels are of con-

cern. “We are on the edge – a few hot nor’westerly days and we will be really looking for rain,” Clark said.

“The big problem in this district is the wells.”

With no aquifer recharge the wells haven’t recovered from last summer’s irrigation season.

“While farmers on a run-ofthe-river system get a direct and immediate benefit from the rain, those of us on aquifers are not going to see a recharge before this irrigation season,” Clark said.

“But there’s not a lot we can do

– we’ve got irrigation on this farm for a reason and we might only have half or three-quarters of the flow rate we would normally have available.

“It’s not a grumble – it’s just the way it is and we will get through it.”

Planning ahead, Clark has reduced nitrogen input to slow down leaf development and reduce demand for water, at the expense of yield.

All cereal crops have been Cambridge-rolled, so if the crunch comes and the water runs

out they can be converted to silage, rather than taking it through to grain harvest and the cropping mix has been changed to balance water requirement.

“We’ve slashed our grain area.

If we end up silaging some of the grain crops at Christmas time, because of water shortages, we can prioritise the oilseed rape, ryegrass, carrots and pea crops – which are contracted at acceptable values.

“Our grain harvest will potentially be the lowest for the 22 years that we’ve farmed here.”

Info sharing would benefit leadership in primary sector A cross industry online portal is needed in the primary sector to provide a leadership pathway for young leaders in industry good and non-profit organisations, according to a new study.

New Zealand Young Farmers field officer Casey Huffstutler recently completed a project for the Kellogg Rural Leadership Programme in which she looked at solutions to a professionalism shortage in primary sector governance.

Huffstutler said every year thousands of people volunteered their time in leadership roles in the primary industry, but there was no specific industry information to provide a pathway for individuals to allow them to take the next step.

“There needs to be a one-stop shop website of information on what is available to up and coming leaders of tomorrow that want to make a difference in the rural communities of New Zealand.”

As non-profit and industry good organisations require ever increasing levels of professionalism, it was vital that such a link was created, she said.

More than 2200 prime lambs went under the hammer at the Tinwald sale yards this week with prices holding firm on recent sales.

Heavy shorn lambs fetched $128-$133,

“From the survey undertaken it was clear that a platform that shows short job descriptions and information on how to get involved from an entry to a high level of governance was needed.”

It was apparent that key organisations that rely on volunteer governance within the primary sector hadn’t considered the influence that internet and social media could play in filling those roles, she said.

“And we could be missing the opportunity to engage the Millennials if we don’t use our online presence better.”

NZ Young Farmers CEO Terry Copeland said Huffstutler’s project highlighted an important issue within the primary industry.

“Within our own organisation we have hundreds of members holding leadership positions and showing them a clear pathway towards higher governance has been a priority, but we haven’t collaborated with other sector organisations to share those pathways.

“Casey has identified a clear need for an online pathway and it’s something we would support her in developing.”

www.guardianonline.co.nz Allenton Bowling Club Ashburton Bridge Club

Well we kicked off with a windy Friday Triples but a great turn out.

All games were played in good spirit with a few bowls not coping with the wind!

Allenton Hosted the J7 mixed tournament on Sunday and that was also an excellent day for all competitors from all local clubs competing against each other.

A cool but pleasant day was had.

Lots of events coming up so hence a busy calendar for our bowlers, we are really back into the bowling season.

Good Bowling to you all. Cheers

The following hand demonstrates very clearly how to benefit from setting up a side suit in dummy to discard sure losers from declarer’s hand.

Regardless of their particular system North/South will find the excellent contract of 4 Hearts after the dealer, East, does not open the bidding. West’s opening lead is probably a Club, possibly a Diamond, which actually gives declarer his biggest challenge, as he must then develop the Diamonds before drawing trumps.

If a Diamond is chosen declarer must play the A from dummy, followed by the Q, and pray that West holds at least 2 Diamonds. Should East cover the Diamond Q with the K, declarer ruffs in hand and the Diamonds are established nicely – should East not cover, declarer must let the Diamond Q run, discarding a Spade, and now he prays that West started with 3 Diamonds, as he leads the J from dummy and ruffs when the Diamond K is forced to cover this time.

A Club lead is much easier for de-

Ashburton Club & MSA Golf Section Sunday, September 11 our members travelled to Ellesmere Golf Club where we met the Kaiapoi Club golf section and Rangiora RSA golf section to challenge for the two trophies.

We had a really good turn out from the three clubs.

Winners of the trophies were decided over the ten best scores from each club.

Rangiora came out victors for the Triangular Trophy with an aggregate of 37 points, but our players came out winners of the Kia/Ash trophy 356 points to Kaiapoi 327, so we have some bragging rights for 12 months.

Good stablefords for the day for our club were, women Lyn Bird 41 Pat Bell 38, Men Brent Smith 37 Steve Thomas 36.

Lions Club of Hinds & Districts A good turnout of members, two Mayfield Lions and a visiting former member attended the monthly Tea Meeting on Tuesday to hear Natalie Bocock, a Hinds local and recipient of a Hinds Lions Scholarship, speak on her rowing achievements over the past two years which included competing in the U21 Rowing Championships in Australia and recently as a member of the NZ U23 Rowing Team at the World Championships in Rotterdam.

Natalie outlined the training build-up and the pressure of competing on the international stage before expressing her appreciation for the club’s support.

After questions she was presented with an Achievement Certificate by Past President Robert Ellis.

Members were then addressed by 1st Vice District Governor Tony Thomas who outlined the aims of International President Bob Corlew and District Governor Tom McDonald before being invited by President Alan Johnston to formally induct Gavin Mowat as a new Hinds & Districts Club member.

The evening meal prepared by Willowby Hall Committee followed and once drinks had been cleared each member received a new safety vest and cap.

In general business Boulevard Day, Longbeach Bike Race, Christchurch Hospital helipad and other planned projects were discussed heartily.

Raffles were drawn and some dubious fines imposed before President Alan closed another entertaining meeting with thanks to members, guest speakers and visiting Lions.

Donations for Riding for the Disabled were well supported.

Our guest speaker was Coby Snowden, NZ Representative for Rifle Shooting. Coby proudly wore her New Zealand black blazer and talked on how she started shooting and then representing New Zealand. Coby arrived in New Zealand with her family from Holland as a young girl and moved to Mid Canterbury from Wellington after meeting her husband John who also represents New Zealand in shooting.

The hostesses Margaret and Emma served a lovely afternoon tea.

Westpark Jeanette van der Nagel’s house was the venue for our August meeting, when we met for a “soup and a bun” lunch. Many thanks to Jeanette for her hospitality and the lovely soup she provided.

A short meeting was held. Our roll call for the meeting was a gold coin for Alzheimers’s Disease.

Yvonne Lister gave a report about conference. The raffle was won by Rona Hayward.

Our guest and speaker for the day was Judy Rodgers. Nineteen months before her daughter’s wedding, her daughter asked if she would make the wedding flowers, including bouquets, buttonholes, table decorations, etc, from jewellery.

Judy told us how she scoured second-hand shops, and op shops, both here and in Australia while on holiday, for old jewellery that she could break down and use.

The results were absolutely stunning. What a talented lady!

Who should the opener be?

Black Caps expecting the worst

www.guardianonline.co.nz

■ CRICKET

1: If New Zealand are to win the first test in Kanpur starting today, what’s the key element they must get right?

David Leggat and Andrew Alderson answer three questions ahead of the first test against India starting at Kanpur’s Green Park today.

DL: Without being silly, win the toss and bat. It’s hard to overstate the importance of getting first use on a pitch which will certainly be turning big time by day three, if not earlier. Then they have to bat long.

If New Zealand can’t find a way to negotiate a tough Indian bowling attack, highlighted by top quality spinners, they have no chance. They need a positive mindset; there’s no point putting up the shutters and trying to hang on out in the middle.

Sooner or later they’ll be done by a good ’un. So be assertive, but not rash. Simple, really.

AA: The spine of the batting.

The top order must get big runs against spin to insure against other problems. Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor have pedigree on the sub-continent, either watching the ball off the pitch or using their feet.

The onus also falls on the remainder of the top six to contribute. New Zealand lost 31 of their 40 wickets to spin in the 2-0 series loss of 2012. A decent total would give New Zealand’s relatively inexperienced spinners confidence to flight the ball on a wicket set to turn. Green Park ... oh, the irony.

The selectors have persevered with Martin Guptill, but this could well be his last chance.

2: Assuming the pitch at Green Park is a monty to take turn, should New Zealand take three spinners into the match or rely on just two?

DL: A tricky one. It’s a bit like the old argument: why pick a fourth seamer if three can’t do the job? One option is pick their best two of leggie Ish Sodhi, offspinner Mark Craig and leftarmer Mitch Santner and support that with some occasional contributions from Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson, who are servicable if not top drawer.

Another, a real wildcard, would

be to promote Craig, test average 45, to open in place of outof-form Guptill, which would still leave room for four frontline bowlers at the bottom of the order. This mind thinks two should do.

dhi stand to get more runs than Doug Bracewell or Matt Henry.

an opener, and have Luke Ronchi take the gloves.

3: Should the tour selectors stick with out-of-sorts Guptill to open and if not, who is your choice to partner Tom Latham?

AA: Taking three spinners in presents their best chance of victory because they cover most tweaking options. Mark Craig delivers off-spin, Mitchell Santner provides left-arm orthodox and Ish Sodhi offers leg-spin and a repertoire including googlies.

If they adhere to Meatloaf Theory (two out of three ain’t bad) then New Zealand’s chances of securing a third test victory in 32 tests are enhanced.

The last time New Zealand did this (against Pakistan in Sharjah in 2014) they won. As an added bonus, Craig, Santner and So-

DL: My pick is they will stick with Guptill for this test. India don’t have a Steyn/Philander/ Rabada seam bowling axis, but they’re far from slugs either.

The selectors have conceded Guptill may be on his last chance. They have persevered with him longer than they have with other players because they believe he has the talent to succeed in tests.

The question is how long is this piece of rope? If Guptill is out, then I’d opt for the gritty wicketkeeper BJ Watling, who started his international life as

AA: It seems a perennial question, but with good reason given Guptill’s fluctuations in red-ball form.

I would stick with him, despite his 20.68 average in Asia, just as coach Mike Hesson has given other openers every opportunity to perform in the past.

Luke Ronchi put together a strong case with a practice match century, but this was apparently on a well-grassed wicket in contrast to that expected in Kanpur.

However, he’s in form. If Guptill doesn’t deliver here, in conditions where the ball shouldn’t move too much early, then Jeet Raval could be dusting off his pads for summer, otherwise it places too much regular pressure on No. 3 Kane Williamson.

It was once known as a land of mystery, enchantment and surprise, but New Zealand reckon there won’t be anything in the pitch to raise the eyebrows when the first test against India starts at Kanpur’s Green Park today.

“There will be plenty of assistance for spin, the pitch will deteriorate and there will be reverse swing, so no surprises,” New Zealand coach Mike Hesson said yesterday.

New Zealand’s mindset will be to expect the worst as they go in search of just their third win in 31 tests in India, and if groundsman Shiv Kumar’s confident assertion that the pitch won’t play as badly as the tourists’ fear proves correct, then all the better.

If captain Kane Williamson has one wish it would be to win the toss, and get the best of the batting conditions over the first two days. Then his batsmen must deliver.

Of New Zealand’s batting group, world third-ranked Williamson (average 38.15 against India with two centuries) and Ross Taylor (41.18 with three) are the best equipped to handle the challenge.

But they can’t do it on their own and the batsmen must have a game plan to not only survive but also score runs. Reserve wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi’s philosophy of getting to the non-strikers’ end to ensure longevity at the crease has plenty of sense to it.

The expectation is India will play two seamers at the most – and their most experienced, Ishant Sharma, has been ruled out with chikungunya, a mosquitoborne viral infection – with three spinners. There’s a chance they will open with tall offspinner Ravi Ashwin which New Zealand need to be ready for.

“It’ll be no surprise if one or two spinners open with the new ball at some stage. We are prepared for it, but dealing with it out in the middle is quite a different story,” Hesson said.

The experienced pair boast 181 caps between them, but will have to fight their way back into the Silver Ferns’ Test line-up after being sidelined by injury. Coach Janine Southby won’t cut any players from her 12-strong squad which recently beat world No.4 Jamaica three matches on end to win the Taini Jamison Trophy. The same 12 players also contested the quad series, beating South Africa and England before losing 60-55 to Australia.

Breakers boss Paul Henare says he’s struggling to put a finger on why so many of his troops have suffered pre-season niggles.

Star guard Corey Webster is struggling with back and hip complaints, while swingmen Kirk Penney and Tom Abercrombie have calf and back injuries respectively.

New import Ben Woodside is also experiencing issues with his heel.

The quartet of crocked Breakers are joined by guard Shea Ili, who will miss his side’s Australian NBL season opener against Melbourne United with a back injury.

The former development player has been replaced by Australian guard Isaih Tueta on a short-term deal.

Henare told reporters yesterday he’d challenged his medical staff to review their procedures as the injury toll mounts.

However he wasn’t too concerned and said most players would be back by October 7.

“You try and squeeze as much together as you can in a pre-season but maybe the workload was a little bit too much last week.”

Henare, who also coaches the Tall Blacks, acknowledged the knocks had set his side’s pre-season preparations back a notch.

The absence of Webster, Penney and Abercrombie had stunted the side’s on-court chemistry and combinations.

Webster and Penney played no part in their side’s 86-77 pre-season loss to the Brisbane Bullets in Invercargill, while Abercrombie lasted barely a minute.

The loss marked the end of a miserable three-game series against the Bullets, having been defeated in all three games on home soil.

In brief Goalkeeper arrested The record for most goals in a football match stood for nearly 120 years. That was when Arbroath thumped Bon Accord 36-0 in 1885.

But then AS Adema from Madagascar won a match 149-0 in 2002. Their opponent, Stade Olymique L’Emyrne, protested a refereeing decision by plonking the ball in their own net 149 times. Putting that game aside for obvious reasons, the next best thing has to be German side PSV Oberhausen, who last week beat SV Vonderort 43-0. Vonderort goalkeeper, Mario Kwiotek, was then arrested by police who said they “just wanted to clear some things up,” The Sun reported.

Kwiotek was arrested at training, and hasn’t been seen since.

Obviously, the allegations look to be around match-fixing, but police refused to comment on why he was arrested.

Chelsea came from two goals behind at Premier League champion Leicester, taking an endto-end game to extra time at 2-2 thanks to goals from defenders Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta before Cesc Fabregas’ double clinched a 4-2 win.

Liverpool had it much easier, dispatching second-tier Derby in a 3-0 victory with Ragnar Klavan, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi scoring the goals.

Chelsea and Liverpool both rested key players but still fielded strong lineups in a bid to stay alive in one of three competitions they’ll enter this season.

Liverpool is a record eighttime League Cup winner, while Chelsea is joint-second in the all-time list of trophy winners

with five titles. Leicester has much bigger priorities this season.

Aside from attempting to retain its Premier League title, Claudio Ranieri’s team are in the Champions League for the first time and likely will not be too concerned about exiting a competition of the least importance.

Japan forward Shinji Okazaki took advantage of defensive errors to score twice for Leicester at King Power Stadium, but the hosts were undermanned in extra time after Marcin Wasilewski collected his second yellow card in the 89th for elbowing Diego Costa in the face.

Fabregas’ two goals send a message to Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, who has marginalised the Spain midfielder at the start of the season.

Here’s a look at other results in the third round yesterday, as Premier League teams fared differently against lower-league opposition after rotating their starting lineups: EVERTON 0, NORWICH 2

Everton failed to transfer its strong Premier League form to the League Cup by losing to second-tier Norwich, which played almost a complete reserve team.

Steven Naismith, a former Everton player, and Norwich double their lead in spectacular style as one of the Murphy twins, Josh, spins with his back to goal maybe 18 yards out, unleashes a left-footed strike that whizzes in off the underside of the bar!

Everton has been the surprise of the Premier League so far, currently sitting in second place after an unbeaten start that includes four wins from five games.

The team’s last piece of major silverware came in 1995.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0, ARSENAL 4 Lucas Perez, a recent signing from Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna, scored twice in the second half for his first goals for Arsenal.

Granit Xhaka scored from long range — as he did against Hull in the Premier League on Saturday

— to put Arsenal ahead and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wrapped up the victory for a visiting team featuring a mix of youth-team players and fringe squad members.

BOURNEMOUTH 2, PRESTON 3 Bournemouth joined Everton in exiting the competition, meaning six Premier League teams have been eliminated so far.

Danish striker Simon Makienok scored a hat-trick for secondtier Preston, with his second goal coming in the 85th minute to take the game into extra time and his third clinching the win in the 111th minute.

Fresh off a heavy defeat at Manchester City, Bournemouth played an entire second-string team.

OTHER RESULTS In games between League Championship teams, Reading won 2-1 at Brighton, Leeds won 1-0 at home to Blackburn, and Newcastle beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0.

Toure ‘won’t play for city until agent apologises’ Yaya Toure retired from international football with the Ivory Coast yesterday – and won’t be playing again for Manchester City either unless his agent apologises for comments about club coach Pep Guardiola.

The midfielder’s representative, Dimitri Seluk, recently said Guardiola humiliated his cli-

ent by leaving him out of City’s squad for the Champions League group stage That irritated Guardiola, who said that since then “Yaya is out”.

“I accept if Mr Dimitri Seluk came in a press conference or (spoke to) his friends in the media because he has not the courage to call me and apologised to

Manchester City, his teammates, and the trainer,” Guardiola said.

“When that happens, Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the same chance to play all the games.”

Until then, the 33-year-old Toure won’t be adding to his one appearance this season, a virtually dead match in the

Champions League playoffs. He didn’t even make the substitutes’ bench for City’s other seven matches so far. City has won all eight games.

“What do I need to apologise for?” Seluk told Sky Sports.

“Guardiola wins a few games and he thinks he is king”.

Cronulla have received a major power boost for their grand-final qualifier against North Queensland, with big men Paul Gallen and Sam Tagataese named to play in Friday night’s match. Sharks skipper Gallen and Tagataese, both having completed training on Tuesday, are set to return from respective back and shoulder injuries to take their place against the Cowboys. Gallen missed Cronulla’s qualifying-final win over Canberra a fortnight ago, while Tagataese hasn’t played for five weeks.

Stuart fed up A fed up Ricky Stuart has appealed to referees to let Canberra play the exciting brand of rugby league that’s made them a success in 2016 against Melbourne in Saturday’s NRL grand final qualifier. Constant talk of the Storm’s ruck tactics and rule interpretations in the build-up to the clash at AAMI Park has irked the Raiders’ coach, who says referees boss Tony Archer is the one who needs to address concerns. The minor premiers’ wrestling style has been in the spotlight this week, following alleged complaints that three North Queensland players were injured as a result. “I’m getting a bit fed up with all the talk about the wrestle and all the talk about the 10m (rule),” Stuart said before flying to Melbourne.

Flynn takes year out Black Sticks hockey star Gemma Flynn will take the rest of the year off before making a call on her future in the sport. The 26-year-old is one of several women’s Black Sticks players who will take some time out from the sport to try to refresh themselves physically and mentally after the disappointment of narrowly missing a medal at the Rio Olympics. “For the moment I just want to focus on some other things away from hockey,” Flynn told Radio Sport. “I will still support the team and I will watch the games.” The striker or midfielder says she will weigh her future in the sport during that time. “I don’t know the exact answer as yet but that will become clearer as the year moves forward.”

Flynn says the disappointment of losing back-to-back matches in the medal round at Rio is still raw.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Eight additions to Kiwis squad

By DaviD Skipwith Penrith back-rower James Fisher-Harris is one of eight additions to the Kiwis train-on squad for the test against Australia in Perth and subsequent Four Nations tournament in England, while Warriors prop Ben Matulino has withdrawn from contention to have surgery.

Fisher-Harris enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Panthers, with his rugged defence and aggressive running helping him to cement a first grade spot.

The 20-year-old former Junior Kiwis representative, together with club teammates Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Suaia Matagi and Te Maire Martin, were ushered into the national squad after Penrith’s NRL title run ended with last week’s 22-12 semi-final defeat to Canberra.

After two false starts due to injury and suspension, Watene-Zelezniak finally made his Kiwis debut in May’s transtasman test defeat to Australia in Newcastle, while Matagi featured in the triumphant 2014 Four Nations campaign, coming off the bench against Samoa.

Martin’s inclusion comes after he impressed in six first grade appearances before a shoulder injury suffered in Penrith’s round eight loss to Cronulla saw the 20-year-old playmaker miss the Panthers run to the playoffs.

Joining them in the wider squad are Brisbane trio Adam Blair, Alex Glenn and Jordan Kahu, after the Broncos premiership hopes were dashed in last

week’s 26-20 semi-final loss to the North Queensland Cowboys.

All three were named for the May test against Australia, but Glenn withdrew with a calf injury. Blair co-captained the Kiwis in their two-one series loss to England last year and Kahu’s versatility has proven valuable since debuting on that same tour.

Meanwhile, Matulino has withdrawn from the squad and it is understood he requires minor surgery to fix lingering knee and shoulder injuries.

New Kiwis coach David Kidwell has added rookie Warriors hooker and backrower Jazz Tevaga to the extended group.

The latest additions bring the current squad to 31, with more to come after next weekend’s NRL preliminary-finals.

The final touring squad of 24 will be named during the week after the NRL Premiership grand final on October 2.

The Kiwis face Australia at Nib Stadium on October 15 and kick off their Four Nations title defence against hosts England in Huddersfield on October 29.

Kiwis train-on squad: Adam Blair, Lewis Brown, Greg Eastwood, James Fisher-Harris, Addin Fonua-Blake, David Fusitu’a, Alex Glenn, Shaun Johnson, Jordan Kahu, Solomone Kata, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Thomas Leuluai, Sam Lisone, Isaac Liu, Tuimoala Lolohea, Issac Luke, Simon Mannering, Te Maire Martin, Suaia Matagi, Manu Ma’u, Sam Moa, Jason Nightingale, Tim Simona, Brad Takairangi, Martin Taupau, Elijah Taylor, Jazz Tevaga, Bodene Thompson, Manu Vatuvei, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Dallin Watene- NZME Zelezniak.

■ SQUASH

Junior champs decided James Fisher-Harris is one of eight additions to the Kiwis train-on squad for the test against Australia in Perth.

Jacob Price and Harriet Stock are the 2016 Hinds Junior Squash champions.

At a recent tournament, Harriet Stock defended her title against Georgie Sullivan in the Girls’ A Final competition and Jacob Price beat Alex Jones 3-2 in the Boys’ A Final.

Jacob Price also recently won an award

for most improved player.

Hinds Squash’s junior club captain Angela Cushnie said a lot of credit goes to the two coaches Shayne Jones and Andrew Peck, who have been training the juniors.

She said about 30 kids show up each Friday night to play on the two available courts.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Unsettled? Stay flexible. The fact that you don’t know what’s going to come up next is a good thing. This new path also has many desirable options to please you.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Business cards, shopping lists, party plans, requests to friends, tokens, coupons, prayers – consider it all your research. This will piece together to form something artistic and unique.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): People say that you can’t make someone love you. Privately you think, “Well maybe they can’t, but I can.”

And you may very well be right. You certainly have your secret charms today.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): They don’t know you well, but they do know you a little. They have a one-dimensional version of you at best. Today the relationship will progress, allowing for more insight all around.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): They are listening to you, but they really aren’t understanding what you’re saying. The interpretations will vary wildly.

This will amuse or annoy you accordingly.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You have no idea the value of your support. A kind word, a prop, a leg up – when you are able to give this at the perfect moment, it will mean more to your people than they’ll ever be able to articulate.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The small differences between you and a loved one will melt away. You have a more mature way of handling your relationship now, which, oddly enough, includes a lot of playfulness.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): So many people don’t have a clue about what they really want. You do know, and this is your moment. Stay focused. Visualise the smooth and swift attainment of your goal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Socialising is a lot more fun when you bring your own crew with you. Your nearest and dearest make an excellent entourage, so bring them and increase your comfort zone.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): What has stopped you meeting face to face? It’s still the best way, and it also takes a lot more guts. It’s time to put yourself in the mix again in real time.

Don’t let your social skills die a digital death.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Some of your friendships have been more abiding and central than even the most romantic of your ties. This is the perfect day to acknowledge that, either out loud or in your heart. Both will count.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): What you do to honour and maintain your friendships will not infringe upon your romantic life in the least. What you do for one friend will enhance every friendship you have.

Sport Biter banned 13 weeks Former England test winger Chris Ashton has been banned for 13 weeks after being found guilty of biting. Ashton was charged for biting Northampton’s Alex Waller on two separate occasions during their match last weekend. The first charge was upheld, but the second was dismissed. He’ll be free to play again on December 19. The 39-test winger was banned for 10 weeks last season for making contact with the eye area of Ulster back Luke Marshall during a European Champions Cup game.

New addition to Mission Enduranz Events have added a new 5km run option to this year’s Mission Mt Somers race.

The race, which will be held at Staveley on October 29, now includes marathon, half marathon, 10km and 5km race categories.

Race director Glen Currie believes the introduction of a shorter course will offer a fine opportunity to aspiring runners to experience off-road racing.

“There are a lot of aspirant runners, many of them kids, wanting to give off-road running a go – so we have introduced a 5km race,” he said.

“It gives competitors an experience of running on off-road terrain and all in a safe, local environment”.

The 42km marathon will follow the Department of Conservation (DOC) track from Staveley through Woolshed Creek and back past Pinnacles Hut to the finish line at Staveley.

Likewise, the 21km half marathon will start at Woolshed Creek and follow the DOC track.

Both tracks will include substantial climbs and technical downhill running.

Marathon entries have already

surpassed last year’s race, and the other categories are filling up fast, according to race director Tineka Johnstone.

“We are hoping to attract in excess of 300 entrants this year, which would be great for the district and surrounding towns,” Johnstone said.

This year Enduranz Events have offered $200 to the first competitor in the half marathon field to complete the course in less than two hours.

“Braden Currie and Phil Costley came close when the course was held under the Big Day at

the Office brand, however the course was slightly longer than 21km, so it is definitely achievable” Currie said.

Nathan Jones, who won the 21km race last year in 2 hours and 18 minutes, will return to try and better his time and win the trophy again.

Meanwhile, there will also be $500 cash up for grabs for the fastest open male and female runner in the marathon category.

Hansen wants annual Six Nations showdown All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has proposed an annual match between the Six Nations and Rugby Championship winners as part of a global shake-up.

Officials have held talks about the scheduling of the sport after the next World Cup, with proposals to align the northern and southern hemisphere playing calendars.

Six Nations chiefs are reluc-

tant to move from the FebruaryMarch slot, but Hansen told the Daily Mail that an historic agreement of dates between officials would send the game “through the roof”.

“It’s a no-brainer,” said the double World Cup winner.

“You’ve got to say, ‘What’s best for our product so we can keep attracting people to come and watch it?’

Flynn taking a year out P17

“First, our players need a decent pre-season. You’d play club competitions simultaneously.

We could have the European Cup winners play the Super Rugby winners and the Six Nations winners play the Rugby Championship winners.

“We need some goodwill to sort it out.”

Summer tours are likely to be scrapped in World Cup years,

but the future of British and Irish Lions tours is secure despite concerns over player welfare.

They face the All Blacks next June and Hansen is targeting a clean sweep.

“We’ll want to win 3-0,” said Hansen. “If the northern nations keep playing well they’ll provide a headache for the selectors.”

Seniors replace juniors Senior citizens have replaced the child mascots used by a top Swedish football club to wild applause from their fans. AIK decided that their oldest fans should accompany the team onto the field before their match against Gefle IF as part of a bid to reconnect with “a lost generation of AIK supporters”.

Leading the senior procession was 86-year-old Lennart Johansson (above), the European football association’s longest serving president.

Ngatai ruled out Chiefs midfielder Charlie Ngatai is unlikely to play for the All Blacks again in 2016 after failing to adequately recover from concussion.

Ngatai, 26, hasn’t played any rugby since his head knock in May. As a result he missed both his Test side’s June series whitewash over Wales and stroll towards the Rugby Championship. All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster said Ngatai was progressing well but still well off a return to action.
