Ashburton’s Jack a world champion performer

By Emma moody

Emma.m@thEguardian.co.nz

Ashburton teen Jack Bubb is one step closer to achieving a lifelong dream.

Jack, 15, won a scholarship to the New York Film Academy after competing in the World Championship of Performing Arts, but said he hasn’t decided if he is going to attend – it’s not his only offer.

“I have quite a few interviews to do. I think I’m going to see what happens and see what opens up the most opportunities,” he said.

Jack’s mum, Claire Bubb, said she would support whatever the Ashburton College student decided to do.

“He’s been singing and humming since before he could talk, it’s just something he has always wanted to do,” she said.

Jack won three world champion titles at the world champs for his contemporary, rock and rhythm and blues vocals.

He also won medals for his comical acting and best junior vocalist.

Mrs Bubb is a drama teacher at Ashburton College and said she used to take Jack to show rehearsals, which helped grow his creative side.

Jack said he has always wanted

to perform music for a living.

“We always had a piano in the house and when he was little, Jack used to climb up on to the stool and play it,” Mrs Bubb said.

Jack said he couldn’t believe it when he won a medal and win-

ning three world titles did not cross his mind.

“I was over the moon when I won the medals, I didn’t expect to win the divisions as well.

“As I was walking off stage with the first one, the audience were

cheering me to go back on stage and pick up another one,” he said.

Mrs Bubb said she screamed down the phone when Jack rang and told her what he had won. “[She] screamed so loud [she] actually broke the speaker on my

phone,” Jack said.

The World Championship of Performing Arts is a 10-day competition in Long Beach, California, where performers from 61 countries compete to become world champion performers.

Tinwald neighbours call for action

By Colin EngElBrECht colin.E@thEguardian.co.nz

Calls are growing in Tinwald to form a night watch after a string of break-ins have plagued the area.

Tinwald locals have voiced their anger at the crimes via Facebook group Ashburton Noticeboard, some suggested they form their own groups to deal with the criminals.

Scott Stringer, owner of Café Time, said they’re beefing up their security after some suspicious activity a couple of weeks ago.

He said they noticed a group of kids hanging around the store early in the morning, so they

were investing in more security options.

Sim’s Bakery also had a scare and owner Brian “Manny” Sim said they were now taking further measures.

He said a couple of weeks ago a woman and a boy came into the

store, Manny thought it may have been a mother and son casing it.

“She came in but she wouldn’t talk to anyone, she was just walking around looking around, then the boy came in backwards and he was a young boy.

“He had his hoodie on and a

scarf on so all you could see was his eyes, luckily a couple of women came in and they left,” he said.

“It’s absolutely bloody crazy, what do you do, what do you do as a community?”

Christine Richards, district co-ordinator of Neighbourhood Support Ashburton, said communities need to stick together.

Mrs Richards said the area the crimes occurred in moved around and now Tinwald was bearing the brunt.

She said people need to be proactive.

“What I really want to hit home is that if people see anything suspicious or even a crime, ring 111 and report it immediately, not the

next day,” she said.

“Any phone call to 111 is reported and recorded and dealt with.”

Mrs Richards wants people to know they are welcome to call her to join active Neighbourhood Watch groups or start one if it doesn’t exist in their area.

“The last thing I want to see is vigilante groups.

“The fear is with the vigilante group is that someone might get hurt big time, or get in a lot of trouble,” she said.

If people want to join they should call Neighbourhood Support on 03 308-8410.

“It’s about communities working together and not being fearful,” Mrs Richards said.

■ SCHOOL TO START

Slow down; school’s back on Monday Mid Canterbury drivers are being reminded that school starts back on Monday and the speed limit for passing a stopped school bus is 20km/h.

Rural Women New Zealand says it is the law to slow down and the rule applies whichever direction you are travelling in.

They say rural children are especially vulnerable when drivers speed past school buses, but drivers should also slow down around schools and in communities.

As advocates for safer rural roads, Rural Women has been supportive of trials of 20km/h signs on school buses in Ashburton. NZTA southern regional director, Jim Harland, says that a trial of 20km signs on school buses in Ashburton showed a reduction in the speed of traffic passing a school bus, which had stopped to let children on or off.

However, he also remarked that “earlier trials of signs without the support of the community and police, indicated that the speed variation of traffic passing school buses may increase the risk rather than improving safety”.

RWNZ encourages the community to obey the speed limit and encourages families to get involved in teaching children road safety messages.

Brake NZ, the road safety charity has travel tips for families on their website (www. brake.org.nz).

Advice includes young children holding hands when crossing roads and teaching children to “stop, think, look, listen and live” before crossing roads.

Other tips include children wearing high visibility vests and planning a safe route to cross roads.

PM visits ex-Winz building

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Prime Minister John Key saw first-hand yesterday Ashburton’s efforts to erase a black day in its history when Russell John Tully fatally gunned down two Winz workers and injured another.

The Ministry of Social Development quit the building after the shootings and will next year move into a new high-security facility currently under construction.

Its old building has been bought by the community and renovated as a hub for groups and organisations dedicated to the welfare of the district’s people.

Community House is now home to Safer Ashburton, Senior

Citizens, volunteers, Birthright, Family Planning and a host of groups with a mission to help people.

Mr Key knocked on most doors, asking about the services available, how much it cost and demand. Locals painted a positive picture, but voiced concerns about those who were struggling to make ends meet.

Making the most of access to the country’s top politician, Family Planning’s regional manager Anne Stewart also succeeded in recording a video message of Mr Key wishing her organisation a happy 80th birthday.

Road safety promoter Maureen Bishop told him about the need

for programmes to teach migrant women how to drive, so they would not be isolated on farms or driving illegally, and about the success of defensive driving courses.

Mr Key said his son Max had also completed a defensive driving course.

John Driscoll, head of the group that fundraised $1.2 million for the transformation of Community House, said the building allowed informal networking that made sure people needing help or support did not fall through the cracks.

The Prime Minister and his entourage Then walked 200m to the site of the Eastfield precinct,

where Roger Bonifant filled him in on plans for the $40 million development.

Mr Bonifant said it was symbolic that the first building under construction in the new precinct was the Ministry of Social Development’s building. It will have heightened security, including bulletproof glass, and restricted entry.

Mr Key then visited the Tancred Street Mall to talk with young people who used the Hype Health Centre and YMCA facilities.

He had time for a few minutes of foosball, though after being outscored by 12-year-old Shyan Hughes he said he wouldn’t be giving up his day job.

■ NEW ZEALAND TAXPAYERS’ UNION

Call to limit council terms

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s record for the years spent as a local body politician might be 27, but that’s merely an apprenticeship compared to the records logged in some parts of New Zealand.

John Leadley, who retired at the 2013 local body elections had won his way through nine elections to chalk up 27 years as a district councillor.

That record, however, has been broken many times over by several local authorities around New Zealand.

Grey District councillor Doug Truman holds the national record – 48 years.

According to the union’s figures more than 10 people have served 30 or more years around

the country’s council tables.

Of Ashburton’s current crop, Rod Beavan has the longest service, 21 years, but he is not seeking re-elecRod Beavan tion.

The number of long-serving councillors has prompted the New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union to call for a time limit to be put in place, saying that if a councillor has served six terms (18 years) and they haven’t achieved what they set out to do they’re unlikely to do

that by staying on longer.

The call for a limit on elected m e m b e r terms is not supported

by Ashburton District Council chief executive AnJohn Leadley drew Dalziel.

He believes that rather than the number of years, it is the quality of those years that is important.

Mr Dalziel said that over his time in local government he’d watched councillors who warmed a seat for just three years, others who struggled and

who never really came to terms with issues or with standing orders and others who served several terms and who continued to be significant contributors until they retired.

“But some just don’t get there.”

The important factor was that a long-termer continued to give good service, he said.

“A number also say they feel they’ve done their public service and that it’s time to retire.”

Of greater importance was that the people who stood for council were fully aware of the commitment they were making and it’s likely impact on their personal circumstances and their family circumstances, Mr Dalziel said.

People’s choice winner inspired by NZ nature By emma moody

emma.m@theguardian.co.nz

Val Clemens has been drawing for as long as she can remember, but she’s a relative newcomer to painting.

And that meant discovering her entry in this year’s Ashburton Society of Art exhibition had won the people’s choice award was a special thrill, she said.

“It was rather a shock. People from little kids to grandmas come through and it’s nice to know they all liked it,” she said.

Not only did the painting of a tui win people’s choice, it was one of the first works to find a buyer.

“My daughter in Sydney really wanted it so I sent my husband up to buy it, but by the time he got there it was already sold, so I’m going to paint her one for Christmas,” she said.

Her older sister is a painter and was Mrs Clemens inspiration to pick up a paintbrush.

“I’ve always been such a visual person, so I wanted to give it a go.”

She said she uses New Zealand subjects as her inspiration and

said it was good to see so many of New Zealand’s native birds as the subject of other people’s art.

“I’m involved with Forest and Bird and in conservation and I think it’s so important for people to appreciate New Zealand’s birds and flora and fauna,” she said.

Mrs Clemens said it takes a while for her to finish a painting because she is detail oriented.

“It’s why I like acrylics, you can keep going over it until you’re happy,” she said.

This is not the first time Mrs Clemens has entered the exhibition.

She entered a painting last year and her 2012 entry, a photo titled Ghost Tree, won the Roco Promotional Printing Local Merit Award.

She plans to base her next painting on either a photo of a white heron or some of the birds from around the Rakaia River area.

Mrs Clemens husband Colin is also an artist and entered into the exhibition as well.

The Ashburton Society of Arts exhibition will be in the Ashburton Art Gallery until July 29.

Val Clemens checks out her painting after being crowned the people’s choice award winner at the 52nd annual Ashburton Society of Arts exhibition.

■ GROW MID CANTERBURY

Down but definitely not out

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

With its contract with the Ashburton District Council severed, Grow Mid Canterbury might be down, but it’s definitely not out of the game, says its chairman David Dynes.

The organisation lost its contract as the council’s provider of economic services after a damning report on its performance prepared by an independent consultant.

Initially, the board believed that the loss of the council’s $246,000 per year grant could put Grow Mid

Canterbury out of business, but there were still several options under negotiation, Mr Dynes said.

“The directors are feeling quite positive. A lot is coming out in the wash up and it’s not as bad as we thought.”

The council was not the organisation’s only contract, but when that deal was lost, Mr Dynes said that effectively put all other work on hold, short term.

The council is looking at new options around developing an economic strategy and action plan for the district and has decided to test the market and request

quotes for the services from three selected providers.

It wants a new strategy developed and in place by the end of the year. It will then go out for public consultation in February, with the strategy and action plan ready to implement in March.

And Mr Dynes is optimistic that when the strategy is developed and work tendered, there could still be opportunities for Grow Mid Canterbury to secure a slice of the work.

In the meantime, the organisation was in something of a holding pattern, he said.

“We know where we’re at, at the moment, but we’re not sure where we are going forward.”

Grow Mid Canterbury’s directors, a liaison committee and the council still has to hold a final meeting where a report will be tabled on how the council’s grant has been spent over the past six months.

Liaison committee member councillor Neil Brown said that looking ahead the district’s economic work could be delivered in a number of ways and by a number of providers.

This could include contracting

work out to other local authorities, taking some of it in-house and using providers with specific areas of expertise for individual projects.

The council’s economic development has been provided by the Ashburton Economic Agency Trust since 2008 and Grow Mid Canterbury has been its operational agency.

It received $246,000 from the council each year and its work was moderated by a council liaison committee. It also received funding for a number of private contracts.

Housing waiting list on the rise

By SimoN ColliNS The official waiting list for social housing has started rising again for the first time since the list was transferred to Work and Income two years ago.

Social Housing Minister Paula Bennett says the waiting list jumped by 427 to 5012 in the three months to June and is now the highest it has been since September 2014. The jump was widely spread across the country. The biggest increases were in Christchurch (up 121), Auckland (up 50), Palmerston North (up 41), Lower Hutt (up 40) and Rotorua (up 29).

Single adults (up 222) accounted for more than half the increase and most of the rest were sole parents with children (up 185). These two groups now make up 78 per cent of the waiting list.

Bennett said the list constantly fluctuates as people are housed or their eligibility changes.

“Our frontline teams are working incredibly hard to get people into the right housing for their circumstances, as evidenced by 645 families that were housed in June,” she said.

State house numbers dropped by 2676 from a recent peak of 69,717 in June 2011 to 67,041 in March.

■ FUNERAL SERVICES

Paterson’s chapel revamped

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A celebration of a different kind was held at Paterson’s Funeral Services this week, when their remodelled chapel was officially opened for business.

The home-grown Ashburton business was started by Roger and Pauline Paterson in 1982 and like any successful business the services offered by a funeral business had to continue evolving and growing, its chief executive Stephen Parkyn said.

Speaking at the chapel re-opening, Mr Parkyn said that when his company Lamb and Hayward bought Paterson’s it had made a commitment to take good care of that business; the chapel extension was part of that care package.

Ashburton funeral director Barry Hayman leads the company’s Ashburton team, returning as manager after a break of 24 years, and said since that return he had spent many hours talking about how the company could develop and grow.

“One of the things we identified was that the chapel was a bit small, so we decided to focus on that project because we wanted to continue building on what Roger and Pauline had established,” he said.

That decision saw the chapel closed on March 29 and the start of several months of disruption.

“There was a lot of head

“The real challenge though was to keep the business running

smoothly while those renovations were undertaken. That we could was a real credit to staff and to the tradesmen.”

Last night marked the end of that period of disruption, but Mr Hayman did not rule out further

change as the business continued to evolve to meet the community’s changing funeral needs.

The larger chapel can now seat 170 people with another 70 accommodated in the adjoining reception area.

GeoNet, New Zealand’s quiet W

hen the earth moves in Canterbury these days, thousands of people turn to their GeoNet quake app to see how strong the earthquake was.

Interest in earthquakes has never been higher, a consequence of the big one that claimed 185 lives in Christchurch on February 22, 2011.

The GeoNet app has been downloaded 250,000 times and during a widely-felt quake, there are 16,000 hits per second on the monitoring system’s website.

Quiet achiever GeoNet is now out there.

The system marks 15 years in existence this month. It came into being when the Earthquake Commission (EQC) entered an agreement with GNS Science to substantially upgrade and expand New Zealand’s geohazard monitoring networks, which are operated

by GNS Science.

EQC initially stumped up $5 million a year for 10 years to fund what has become an international leader in national hazard monitoring networks. EQC’s funding support subsequently increased to $8 million a year and currently stands at around $12m.

Prior to 2001, New Zealand’s monitoring network was precarious and sparse. It consisted

of aging instruments that were consuming an increasing amount of money just to keep them operating.

The need for modernisation and expansion was pressing. For

instance, in 2000 seismologists had to rely on faxed records from the then Auckland Regional Council’s volcano monitoring team to interpret what was thought to be an earthquake off Auckland’s east

coast. At that stage, scientists had almost no ability to distinguish between an earthquake in the Hauraki Gulf and a possible reawakening of the Auckland volcanic field.

In another example, in the

over-achiever

Above – A GNS Science technician services a solar-powered GPS monitoring station at Gunn Ridge in Fiordland National Park.

PHOTOS GNS SCIENCE Left – A GNS Science technician takes measurements at Mt Ruapehu’s Crater Lake. This is part of regular monitoring of the volcano. mid-1990s it took scientists about three months to produce a map showing ground-shaking intensities throughout the South Island following a magnitude 6.5 quake at Arthurs Pass. Such maps are now

produced automatically within a couple of minutes of an earthquake.

With EQC on board, change came rapidly with dozens of new instruments installed in the first

12 months all sending real-time information to new data hubs at GNS Science offices in Wairakei and Lower Hutt.

GeoNet director Ken Gledhill says a 10-year contract is unusual in today’s world. “We regard EQC’s commitment to a 10-year time frame as fantastic and a triumph for common-sense. Some things take time to reveal their true value, and with damaging earthquakes and volcanic eruptions we are dealing with low frequency, highimpact events.”

Since July 2001 the GeoNet network has recorded detailed information on 314,000 earthquakes in New Zealand, or the equivalent of 57 quakes for each day of its existence.

The vast majority were small and not felt by humans, but 1100 were greater than magnitude 5.0.

Keeping a national network of 600 monitoring instruments working flawlessly all year round is no mean feat, Gledhill says.

“Some of our equipment is in very remote places and some of it has to cope with fairly brutal weather. Yet when the big moment comes, everything has to work heroically without missing a beat and I’m pleased to say it does.”

From the outset, the intention has been to monitor all New Zea-

land’s main geological hazards – earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and tsunamis. And EQC stipulated that all the data collected should be freely available to everyone.

An unusual concept at the time, this far-sighted approach has turned out to be a master stroke with many organisations and individuals across New Zealand using the data in creative ways that could not have been imagined in 2001.

Another feature, unusual in an international context, is that all the main geological hazards are monitored under the one roof.

“Housing all the monitoring arms in one entity delivers operational efficiencies and offers research opportunities that are hard to achieve when disciplines are funded and organised by separate organisations, which is common overseas.”

In many ways, Gledhill believes GeoNet has over-achieved.

“Fifteen years ago, we could not have imagined there would be 600 real-time monitoring instruments throughout the country, that there would be 250,000 downloads of the GeoNet Quake App, and that there would be 16,000 hits per second on our website during widely-felt earthquakes.

“As a result of the high quality data collected by the GeoNet

project, science understands vastly more about the mechanisms of earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions than it did 20 years ago,” he said.

“In parallel to these advances, we’ve created something really special – a community where New Zealanders better understand natural hazards and share their experiences.”

Over the next 10 years Gledhill sees more emphasis on “impact reporting” and more two-way communication with the community of GeoNet users.

At present GeoNet’s focus is “event reporting”, where it provides rapid information on where, when and how big. With impact reporting, it would provide near real-time information on the likely impacts to people and infrastructure.

“HERE IS WHAT SOME OF OUR RESIDENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THEIR DECISION TO MOVE TO OUR UNIQUE LIFESTYLE RESORT” Cliff & Diana Dynes: After visiting a friend in Brisbane who had shifted into a Lifestyle Resort we were so impressed we came home and paid a deposit on our villa. We have never regretted our decision and life is terrific! The facilities are superb, first class and well used. Our villa is lovely and it felt like home straight away. Tony & Sue go out of their way to make this a very pleasant way to live our retirement.

Autumn Leaves

By Bronte Brown Winner of the poetry section, 10 years and under Graceful, dancing, twirling.

Glowing yellow, rose and red.

Fiery orange leaves.

Falling from the trees.

Fragile, brittle, crunchy.

Leaves lie lifeless.

On the cold frosty ground.

The Worst Day Ever!

ave you ever had one of those days when nothing goes right? Well I have and this is how it goes. Oops! Nearly forgot to introduce myself. I’m Bill, just an ordinary school boy . . .

Beware! This is an awfully unfortunate story and may make you never want to wake up again.

I woke up, the bright light hit my eyes. I squinted.

Once my eyes were used to the sun I stumbled out of bed. I was extremely proud of myself because I stayed up all night working on my school project.

Wait, where was it? No! I zoomed into the hallway.

Buster! He was dead meat. I had caught my dog red handed. But why did he have to eat my homework!

Any other week, but then . . . Ahh! I’m late!

I grabbed an apple and my bag then scrambled outside. My bus had vanished! Now I had to walk to school. Rats! I crunched into my juicy apple. Splash!

Why?! I had tripped and fallen into a giant puddle. I was soaked.

I reached my destination. Hopefully school’s much better than the start of my day. Just then my last bit of hope fell into a pile of cow droppings. The Bear (Max the bully), had found out my crush. I don’t know how but he did. The beautiful blonde-haired girl named Bella. I was doomed, my head exploded! I came up with a plan to trick Bear. I got his attention

Red Umbrella

By Klara Harrison Winner of the short story section, 1113 years

F

eo sat at the large window, watching the street as torrents of rain fell from the menacing clouds and soaked everything in sight. She had made it home just in time as the wind began howling like an angry child and light drip drops of rain started rolling in.

Out the window and through the mist and the hu-

mid rain she spotted a lady walking down the street with a bright red umbrella. Her attention turned to curiosity as the lady sidled up the cracked path and advanced towards Feo’s front door.

She ran up, expecting to answer it, but to her surprise, the lady was gone. Feo was about to turn back to go inside when she spotted something tucked under the brown, fuzzy doormat. It was an elegantly folded origami cat.

As Feo plucked the colourful cat from under the doormat, a gust of wind ripped it from her hands and whisked it down the empty street. Feo tore after it, skidding and sliding in her yellow socks on the slippery road. She ran through the city park, her long brown plait flicking annoyingly around her head as she pursued the runaway note. It danced through pink and white cherry blossoms and ran down the road. Feo stopped and watched as it came to a stop at the end of a narrow, dark alley. She walked down slowly, bumping into empty rubbish bins, oblivious to the many sets of yellow eyes watching her in the gloom. She could see the note now, hidden under something, or someone, Feo thought.

She shakily perceived the lantern-yellow eyes glaring at her in the darkness.

But then she noticed that the glaring

eyes weren’t looking at her; they were studying a small, grey stray kitten cowering in the corner, its furry behind parked on Feo’s note. She reached out to grab it and the small, grey kitten keapt into her arms, hiding in her jersey pocket.

Feo smiled at her new companion, who was shivering miserably and opened the note, which had caused so much trouble.

Inside was a small business card intricately patterned with swirly lines: Sakurako & Chihiro Japanese Family Restaurant 32 Wallmark Way Feo groaned. The note she had gone to so much effort in retrieving and it had just been a stupid advert. She turned to go and noticed the cats were all gone; all except the little kitten that was still hiding in her jersey. Replacing the cats, however, was a huge, vicious looking black dog. As Feo backed nervously down the alley, she tripped and fell, smashing her head while her consciousness slipped black . . .

Feo woke up, wrapped in a blanker, her head leaning against the window, her breath misting on the cold glass. On her lap sat a small grey kitten. The dream had seemed so real, but then out of the mist came a strange lady with a bright red umbrella ...

Anzac Spirit

By Tyler Rose Winner of the poetry section, 11-13 years I look up at the sun.

I know that someday soon it could be my last one.

I’m cold inside but I have to fight, For it is my country, therefore my right.

A new day begins, the sun in my eyes, I loaded my rifle in terror, walking out, I hear cries.

Death is near, I sense fear.

Blood on my hands fear in my heart, Now it is my turn to take part.

Clouds of dust and smoke fill the air, I hate this it’s so unfair.

I stare at the moon in the noisy night sky, and I wonder am I going to die?

and started action . . .

Crack! Ow! A fist to my face courtesy of Bear. As you can tell my plan hadn’t gone too well. It felt like my nose broke! Blood dripped out. For the rest of the afternoon I sat in silence.

Ring! Yay! I was so relieved. It was home time! I thought luck had struck me when I was able to go home on the bus. But had it? I found a seat and sat alone. Suddenly a dark shadow approached me. It was Bear (the bully)!

“Hi there little one,” he said nastily. Before I could blink he had whipped off my glasses! I knew I should have worn my lenses. Bursts of laughter rippled through the bus. My face turned as red as a tomato.

I looked out the bus window and saw my stepdad’s car! More bad news . . .

Phoenix Chorus is Off to Oz! Just four months ago, Jo Castelow (Musical Director of Ashburton College’s senior choir – Phoenix Chorus) presented choir members with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to audition for Australia’s national Performing Arts Competition – Glee! 2016.

After a preliminary and state final round of the competition completed by video audition, Phoenix Chorus were announced as national finalists and invited to compete on the Gold Coast in early August.

Since this time, the choir members have completed a myriad

of fundraising activities to get to the Gold Coast.

Now, Phoenix Chorus is set to put their talents on the line doing what they do best with a fundraising concert featuring the current choir and past members of Phoenix Chorus who are still pursuing their love of singing and performing beyond College.

‘Off to Oz – An Evening of Song’ will be held at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on Friday 29th July at 8pm.

With the support of Rotary and the ATEC, an exciting programme featuring much loved performers

from Phoenix Chorus’ past has been compiled.

The concert will feature popular local entertainer, Luke Glendining, with Tom Kitchen and Olivia Brown

Winter eco living

by Sheryl Stivens

You can now recycle more at your rural recycling depot

Have you seen the new yellow lidded bins?

Do you live in a rural area?

There are now yellow lidded bins at the 11 community recycling depots around Ashburton district.

It is so easy to drop off your household recycling including paper, cans including aerosols and plastic containers, bottles and bags all into the same bin.

The materials are mechanically sorted in Timaru for the ever changing marketplace To find the site near you check out the Council website at www.ashburtondistrictcouncil.govt.nz.

Recycle soft plastic packaging Find time this winter to make your home and work place more eco friendly.

Can you make it convenient to recycle more and waste less?

There are new options available now for dropping off your soft plastics – anything you can scrunch up including wrappers and all those annoying bits of plastic packaging that everything seems to come wrapped in including toilet paper and paper towels.

Stuff them all into a larger plastic bag such as a bread bag, drop them off in the bin provided at New World, Countdown or The Warehouse.

The new yellow lidded bins for mixing recycling are resulting in more tonnage being recycled.

In the new bins you can recycle all your clean household plastics (except polystyrene) along with cardboard, paper and cans. This recycling is mechanically sorted in Timaru for the markets. Glass must be sorted by colour into green, brown and clear and be placed into the glass bins alongside.

Our glass is sent to Auckland for glass recycling so must be high quality. (No window glass, light bulbs or cookware please.

Help keep our community sites clean and tidy.

Thanks for recycling.

Love food, hate waste, save money Did you know that the average kiwi family throws out $569 food per year?

If we think of our food in terms of how much it costs us to buy it, we may not be so quick to throw it out. Even if you don’t think you are a big food waster, you may be surprised by how much you actually do waste and what you could save.

• If you threw out the bread ends of every loaf of bread that you bought in a year that would cost you about $27 a year.

• Say you spent $10 at the supermarket to make the family favourite spaghetti bolognese for dinner, but you make too much. If the leftovers never get eaten, that’s about $3.33 gone to waste. Now that doesn’t sound like much, but if that happens twice a month, that’s $80 every year.

•

Do you pick up a bunch of bananas every time that you’re at the supermarket but find at least one goes brown before you get to it? If you throw away the brown bananas that could cost you $30 a year.

• Even the humble vege could be costing you money. If you pay $2.29 for a head of broccoli but only cook the florets, and throw away the stalk, that’s up to $60 a year.

You may not think much of a couple of dollars here and there, but together it all adds up. In this case it’s $200 a year being wasted on these items alone.

Surely there are better ways to spend your money than throwing it in the bin?

Why waste anything?

Time to take your cue

By James ForD

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The MSA Snooker & Billiards Section is on the lookout for new members to bolster its current crop of 18 players.

Vice-chairman Liam Young is hoping to up snooker participation levels in the area – urging those interested to pick up a cue and have a go.

“We see a lot of people playing pool, so we want cast a line out to everyone in town and let them

know we’re here,” he said.

The MSA Snooker & Billiards Section hosts a number of tournaments annually, but Young insisted new members were welcome to compete or play at a casual level.

“We do about a dozen competitions throughout the year.

“Wednesday night’s our club night – 7.30pm sharp, and it’s a damn good night,” he said.

Young, who began playing just five years ago, is also keen

to dash the misconception that snooker in New Zealand is for older people.

Following the recent annual meeting, he is hoping to attract students from Ashburton and Mount Hutt colleges.

“We want to try and start up coaching sessions so we can organise interschools between Mount Hutt and Ashburton College,” he said.

“It takes a bit more time to learn than pool, there’s more

rules, but it’s a great game to play.”

Young said players over 16 years old of all abilities and experience are welcome.

“It’s like a game of chess, if you like strategic games you’ll love it,” he said.

“I’d never played before and took it up about five years ago and really enjoyed it.”

Young can be contacted on 027 9460775 for more information.

Kohli notches up 12th century for India Indian captain Virat Kohli compiled an unbeaten century to put India in a commanding position on the first day of the opening Test against West Indies in Antigua yesterday.

Kohli was on 143 at the close of play, his 12th Test century, as the visitors reached 4-302.

He shared a 105-run stand for the third wicket with opener Shikhar Dhawan (84) while Ravi-

chandran Ashwin was 22no at stumps.

Kohli was rarely beaten in the 197 balls he faced, scoring freely on both sides of the wicket with a rich array of strokes as he posted

his second highest test score and moved in sight of a career-best 169.

Four-day tests, played from Thursday to Sunday, 100 overs a day; it won’t suit every traditional cricket palate, but it’s worth a hard look.

The International Cricket Council has a meeting in Dubai in September at which the idea of both the change in test playing conditions, along with a twotiered system – top seven, bottom five, with the likes of Ireland and Afghanistan joining the party – is due to have its next airing.

Standing still as time marches on is foolish, and the time is right for cricket to embrace change.

Five days can be a tough watch, especially for those with the shortened attention span of modern times.

As Cricket Australia’s chief executive James Sutherland likes pointing out, there is a danger in loving test cricket too much.

To this mind, four-day tests should be given a chance.

Bottom line, even allowing for the glacial speed of change at the top of the game, if it doesn’t work, you think again.

One problem: if the first day is a washout, you’re left with three days for a test, which is clearly unsatisfactory.

A result is desperately hard to achieve unless you’re playing India in Nagpur.

In a recent NZ Cricket survey, 90 per cent of players called test cricket their preferred format.

Would they still prefer it with their days extended by roughly 45 minutes, even though a test would decrease from 450 overs a match to 400?

“We don’t want to compromise history but we need to have a close look at it,” NZC chief executive David White said.

Played from Thursday to Sunday, there’s a natural three-day break before the next test in a series, and it offers two public holidays for potentially the most pivotal viewing of the contest.

It has a natural flow.

There’s so much international cricket these days, it needs some structure, which is where two-tier, promotion/relegation comes in.

A top division of seven and second of five is mooted.

What next for Parker?

BY ALEX MCLEOD Fresh after his knockout victory over Solomon Haumono in Christchurch on Thursday night, Joseph Parker and his management team will reveal who his next opponent is on Tuesday as part of Parker’s pursuit for an IBF world title.

Having defeated the former rugby league player convincingly to record a 20th win from his 20th professional fight, Parker is set to host a yet-to-beannounced fighter in New Zealand in October, potentially his last fight before he prepares to challenge British boxer Anthony Joshua for the IBF (International Boxing Federation) world title in London.

Duco Events boss Dean Lonergan offered some hints yesterday about who Parker’s opponent in October may be, suggesting it will be a fighter similar in build and style to Joshua.

“He’s a substantial unit, it’s fair to say.

“It’s something we haven’t faced before,” Lonergan said.

“The next fight we’ve got up is preparation for AJ [Anthony Joshua].

“We can’t wait to get up to London and have our turn with Anthony Joshua.

We can’t wait to get this title shot going because I think we’re coming home with the title.”

Parker will be putting his mandatory challenge at the IBF world title on the line in his fight against the mystery fighter, but the 24-year-old should be brimming with confidence after his 17th knockout victory of his career against Haumono, who, as expected, never really threatened Parker throughout the fight.

“I got the victory, that’s always the highlight of the fight,” Parker said on Thursday night.

According to IBF rules, it is a requirement for an IBF world title holder to fight the mandatory challenger nine months after claiming their title.

Live streams shut down Three illegal live streams of Thursday night’s boxing bout have already been shut down by Sky TV. The company says it’s got a team that’s “always watching” and will immediately cancel the Sky subscription of anyone caught live streaming the fights. There was massive backlash from Sky after thousands of people were able to watch Joseph Parker defeat Carlos Takam for free on a Facebook live stream two months ago. - NZME

NBA pulls All Star game The NBA has cancelled plans to hold its 2017 All-Star Game in Charlotte, North Carolina, over a state law decried as discriminatory against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. The National Basketball Association is focused on moving the midseason showcase to New Orleans, which hosted the game in 2008 and 2014, but other cities are still vying for the extravaganza, according to a report on Yahoo. The NBA confirmed that Charlotte was losing the event via a statement on it’s website.

Karlovic runs hot

Joseph Parker is still on track for a shot at Anthony Joshua after taking out Solomon Haumono by a knockout in Christchurch on Thursday night.

Should Parker win his fight in October and maintain his status as mandatory challenger to the IBF world title, he will be due to fight world title holder Joshua on January 9, nine months after the Brit defeated American Charles Martin on April 9.

The IBF is one of the four major international boxing organizations recognised by the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF), with the other three of which being the World Boxing Association (WBA), the World

Boxing Council (WBC), and the World Boxing Organisation (WBO).

Parker is currently ranked in first spot in both the IBF and the WBO, fourth in the WBC and eighth in the WBA, with the respective title holders in each organisation being Deontay Wilder (WBC), Tyson Fury (WBO and WBA unified), Ruslan Chageav (WBA regular), and Anthony Joshua (IBF).

More surgery for Agar Former Australian Test spinner Ashton Agar will be sidelined for up to four months after being booked for more shoulder surgery.

Victoria’s Jon Holland has been drafted into the Australia A squad for their upcoming quadrangular series in Queensland after Agar received the bad news.

Agar underwent surgery in April but reinjured his right shoulder at Western Australia pre-season training.

“Ashton had an appointment with a shoulder surgeon earlier this week and a decision was made to have surgery on his right shoulder,” Australian physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said.

“We expect that he will not play cricket for the next three to four months but

the timeframes will become clearer as we monitor his recovery from the procedure.”

Agar is the second player to miss the tournament after fast bowler Pat Cummins withdrew.

Holland was named in a 13-strong Australia A squad for their opening two fourday matches against South Africa A, in Brisbane and Townsville respectively.

The quadrangular series is a combination of four-day and one-day matches against South Africa A, India A and Cricket Australia’s national performance squad.

Former Test keeper Brad Haddin will be coach Troy Cooley’s assistant for the opening two four-day matches, starting in Brisbane on July 30.

The last Australian man left in the Citi Open, Bernard Tomic, has been knocked out in the third round.

Tomic was convincingly beaten in straight sets by all time ATP Tour ace leader Croatian Ivo Karlovic, losing 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 in Washington.

The Australian had no answer to his 211cm giant’s serve, as Karlovic sent down 21 aces and conceded just 10 points on his own serve.

Meanwhile Steve Johnson of the United States also won through to the quarter-finals, accounting for fellow-countryman Ryan Harrison in straight sets.

The fallout from the controversial free paid against the North Melbourne defender has prompted the league to contact senior coaches this week. Football operations manager Mark Evans has already said the AFL will review the rushed behind rule at the end of the season. - AAP

Final berth at stake

Rakaia and Celtic will clash in this afternoon’s Luisetti Seeds Watters Cup semi-final for the right to face Southern in a week’s time, and the chance to lift the coveted 90-year-old trophy.

In recent years, Rakaia have been the keepers of the Watters Cup and will be gunning for a fourth successive final triumph should they get past Celtic today.

In contrast, it’s been a frustrating decade since Celtic last lifted the pinnacle prize in Mid Canterbury senior rugby.

The greens co-held the Watters Cup with Southern in 2006, but last won it outright in 2000.

Celtic skipper Danny Hurley insisted a good start is imperative today, after allowing Rakaia to run away in the first half when the two sides last met in April.

“It’s all in the first 20 minutes, it’s about getting a good start and rolling on from there,” he said.

Celtic will be missing some key personnel with flanker Sam Watt, lock Angus Lindsay, wing Ben Faasavala and midfielder Matt Winter unavailable, while outside back Hushton Tohovaka remains a doubt with a knee complaint.

Coach Shane Enright has called upon colts Bob George

and Kody Stuthridge along with senior B players Steve Paese and Rowan O’Connor to bolster his depleted squad.

But Hurley is confident that there is still enough quality to book a place in the final.

“I think we have plenty of

“

Meanwhile Rakaia captain Andrew Letham is also expecting a tough encounter, and concurred on the importance of a strong start.

“We always try to get out of the blocks early and get points on the board,” he said.

The team unity is pretty strong and it means a lot to the club

depth in our team,” he said.

“That’s something we’ve had all season.

“They will be a loss, they’re big players, but we have depth in those positions.”

The 29-year-old believes team unity will play a key role as Celtic look to overcome Rakaia and end their Watters Cup drought against Southern next weekend.

“We’ve had a good year in the way of team bonding,” he said.

“The team unity is pretty strong and it means a lot to the club, the coaches and management – so now it’s time to show them how much it means to us.”

CELTIC Filipo Siaki, Jacob Sutton, Hamish Finnie, Iromi Dawai, Juan Gray, Matt Miller, Nick McKain, Danny Hurley (C), Ta Lisala, Des Kruger, David Morrison, Koli Tamanitoakula, Christian Vainerere, Joe Peters, Nathan McCloy.

Replacements: Rowan O’Connor, Bob George, Hushton Tohovaka, Kody Stuthridge, Alex So’oialo, Steve Paese, Dominic Visesio.

RAKAIA “But we’ll definitely be up for the challenge – it’s going to be a bit of an arm wrestle game I’d say.”

The first five, who captained his side to glory last year, insisted Rakaia must be vigilant of Celtic’s threats throughout the paddock.

“They’re a pretty complete team.

“They’ve got some good forwards and some classy backs,” he said.

“They play quite an expansive game, so right across the board we’re going to have to keep our eyes on them.”

Luke Leosoki, Tom Heywood, Ese Fakafuka, Cameron Letham, Codey Nordquist, Jackson Donlan, Isaiah Renata, Ritchie Williams, Corey Sinclair, Andrew Letham, Richard Burns, Nete Caucau, Maleki Sau, Setarika Korotimana, Timoni Nabakeke. Replacements: Cawte Whiting, Josh Walker, Lepani Setavia, Mark Andrew, Logan Flett, Tom Blyth, Harry Ashworth.

CUP SEMI-FINAL Luisetti Seeds Watters Cup semifinal: Celtic v Rakaia, Celtic Rugby Grounds, 2.45pm.

Stephen Donald is “a man for the big occasion” and, for the Chiefs, they don’t come much bigger than tomorrow morning’s quarter-final against the Stormers.

The World Cup hero has been handed another momentous task in his return to Super Rugby, being named at second five for the Chiefs’ do-or-die clash in Cape Town.

Dave Rennie’s side have fallen at this hurdle in consecutive seasons and, as they seek to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2013, the coach has placed his faith in Donald to help avoid a repeat.

In fairness, there was little alternative, with the Chiefs missing Charlie Ngatai (concussion), Seta Tamanivalu (knee) and Andrew Horrell (concussion).

But, as Rennie explained, Donald had his full faith in an unfamiliar position.

“Obviously we’re a little bit thin [in midfield],” the coach said.

“The big reasoning around Beaver is his experience and his voice – he’s very clear around instructions and I think he’ll certainly help Aaron out.

“He’s prepared very well and we’ve got a lot of confidence in Beaver. While he hasn’t had a big history of playing 12, we’re confident he can do the job.

“He’s a man for the big occasion.”

Donald, who earned 83 caps in his first stint with the franchise, will link with Anton LienertBrown in midfield and certainly add experience to a Chiefs team featuring a few young faces.

The loose forward trio, for example, sees Sam Cane named alongside Taleni Seu and Tom Sanders, each set for their first taste of playoff rugby.

That would have been a different story had Liam Messam been declared eligible but, having played fewer than four matches this season, the Chiefs’ all-time cap leader fell afoul of a rule Rennie described as “archaic”.

“There’s no doubt it needs to be looked at,” he said.

“When you have to name 40 players at the start of the year, I think 12 of those 40 are actually unavailable for us now.

“We’re pretty disappointed – as you can see from our bench it leaves us with a couple of sevens, which is not ideal. But we have a pretty good side on the field.”

The other changes to the side from the one who went down against the Highlanders last weekend come at halfback and the right wing.

Having reintroduced Tawera Kerr-Barlow following a lengthy injury break, the Chiefs have opted to hand Brad Weber the No 9 jersey, while Sam McNicol will replace Toni Pulu in the back three.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Crusaders heed lessons Attack versus counter-attack could be on the menu when the Lions host the Crusaders in their Super Rugby quarter-final in Johannesburg.

The Lions have been this season’s top try-scorers with 71 from their 15 matches, and Crusaders midfielder Ryan Crotty can’t see them reining in their expansive game tomorrow morning.

“I think what you see is what you get,” he said.

“They might possibly tighten up their defence, but they kind of live and die by their attack.”

The 18-cap All Black believed the Lions were the most similar to the New Zealand sides out of the teams in South African and Australian conferences.

But their style was also “a double-edged sword” from which the seven-time champion Crusaders, who themselves have touched down 65 times this year, could profit.

“It gives them a lot of points but they also turn over a lot of ball and that creates counter-attack opportunities, where we’ve been pretty strong this year,” Crotty said.

“If we can get our defence right and force a few turnovers, we’ll give ourselves opportunities to score points again.”

The Crusaders’ defensive effort was one aspect to come out of their review of their defeat to the Hurricanes in Christchurch last weekend.

Despite the 35-10 scoreline, they pulled of 179 tackles at an accuracy rate of 91 per cent.

“Our defence wasn’t too bad, but if you give a team like the Hurricanes that much ball to attack against you, then you’re going to have a tough night at the office,” Crotty said.

“We were right in it and it just came down to a couple of moments, but we’ve learnt from that.”

The round-robin meeting between the Lions and the Crusaders in April, also at Ellis Park, produced a feast of points, the visitors winning 43-37 after scoring six tries to four, with Crotty bagging a hat-trick.

It was the Crusaders’ seventh victory in a row over the Lions, but Crotty doesn’t believe history will play a major psychological part in the sudden-death showdown.

“Possibly some of the guys individually might take that on board, but it will be a different beast this week,” he said.

“Ellis Park will be pretty full and they will be coming out fired up.”

While four New Zealand teams are preparing for Super Rugby quarterfinals the Australians are getting ready for the All Blacks. It’s the one upside of a sole Australian representative in the opening round of the playoffs this weekend. The Daily Telegraph reports the Wallabies will gather in Sydney next week to begin preparations for the Bledisoe Cup and Rugby Championship opener against the All Blacks in Sydney on August 20.

Parramatta are unfazed by reports Jarryd Hayne is edging towards signing with rugby union, saying they’re content with their roster.

Hayne’s future is up in the air after he failed to make the final cut for the Fiji Rugby Sevens Olympic squad. The 28-year-old departed Parramatta for a stint in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers in 2014 and the Eels remain in the hunt for his signature. However, Hayne has met with ARU officials about signing with the NSW Waratahs and is considering an option to play Super Rugby and moonlight in Japanese Rugby. The Sydney Roosters, South Sydney and Newcastle have all ruled themselves out of the race for the cross-code star.

Stormers gamble Lions’ attack a double-edged sword, says Ryan Crotty.

By GreGor Paul

Have the Crusaders passed their mantle on to the Highlanders?

Of those 21 games, they won 16 – which included seven finals, two of which were away from home. They lost two other finals in 2003 and 2004 and didn’t lose in a semi-final until 2009.

But the picture changed when the competition shifted to a conference format in 2011.

The Crusaders continued the art of qualifying for the finals – their only blip being last year – but became less likely to win once they got there.

They haven’t won a title since 2008 and a playoff winning record that sat at 70 per cent between 1996 and 2010 has dropped to 55 per cent between 2011 and 2015.

Bad luck has been a factor and explains some of the transition.

The earthquake in 2011 left them homeless and their effort in reaching the final that year was miraculous.

Wallabies prepare

Eels unconcerned

Highlanders the new playoffs supremos No team can match the Crusaders for playoff experience – or even get close.

But while the men from Christchurch were once almost invincible in knockout games, they have slowly lost the art of winning in recent years.

Those who habitually think of the Crusaders as the most likely winner when there’s little to separate the remaining teams should maybe reconsider.

They are a good bet to beat the Lions – partly because their record at Ellis Park is good and also because they still know how to win early-round knockout games.

But, specifically, they have lost the art of winning semi-finals and finals and haven’t beaten a New Zealand side in a playoff game since 2008.

In the first era of Super Rugby between 1996 and 2010, when the competition was a straightforward roundrobin with the top four qualifying for the semifinals, the Crusaders were like the German football team.

They would find a way to win – home or away, it didn’t matter, the chances were high that the Crusaders would bring the right mix of graft, intuition, creativity and level-headedness.

In that first phase they played 21 playoff games – a remarkable statistic in itself as the maximum they possibly could have played was 30.

Ashburton Guardian 19

It was, possibly, one game too far, though, and they couldn’t muster the energy they needed to beat a good Reds side in a sticky Brisbane.

In 2014 they were denied the title by a bad refereeing decision.

Craig Joubert would later ring the Crusaders to apologise for penalising Richie McCaw in the last minute – a decision that allowed Bernard Foley to kick the three points the Waratahs needed to claim their maiden title.

In 2012 and 2013 they were simply outclassed by the Chiefs in Hamilton – a story that has become all too familiar in the last five years, particularly so in 2016 as all of the Crusaders’ defeats have been inflicted by New Zealand teams.

That’s the worry for them – when it comes to the biggest games against the best teams,

they no longer bring the right mix or find a way to win.

They have lost the perception of infallibility under pressure and the confidence with which the Hurricanes played in Christchurch last week conveyed their conviction they had nothing to fear.

If New Zealand has a new playoff supremo, it is possibly the Highlanders. They haven’t had the same exposure to knockout football as the Crusaders but they have won three of the four games they have played since 2011.

The Highlanders case isn’t so much built on numbers though.

What gives them an aura is the way they tactically adapted through the playoffs last year, stayed so composed and lifted their game to a higher level in three consecutive games.

This year they have shown a similar ability against the toughest opponents.

Last week against the Chiefs they scrambled on defence, held tough and then pounced when they had barely half a chance. It brought them their sixth straight win against the Chiefs and a quarter-final clash with the Brumbies which assistant coach Tony Brown said they have been looking forward to since last year.

“Our boys love playing play-off games.

“As far as the playoffs, we’ve been working towards this since December so we can’t wait to go and have a good crack at going back-toback,” Brown said.

- NZME

The Stormers will gamble on Rob du Preez for their quarter-final at home to the Chiefs at Newlands tonight, even though the flyhalf has not played in Super Rugby for more than four months. Du Preez got the nod ahead of Brandon Thomson in a position that has been the source of much concern for the Cape Town franchise this season. “Picking Rob was a big selection because he has been out for a while but we went with him because he was the number one flyhalf before he was injured,” coach Robbie Fleck said. - Reuters

Hurricanes favoured The Hurricanes have won five in a row since losing to the Sharks in Durban. All Blacks winger Julian Savea has been relegated to the bench as part of a backline reshuffle. Although the Sharks have won six of their last nine against the Canes, only one of those was in New Zealand and it’s hard to see them prevailing this time.

- AAP

Tahs lose players The departures from the Waratahs have continued, with prop Jeremy Tilse and back Matt Carraro the latest players opting to leave the Super Rugby franchise. They have joined Wallabies Kurtley Beale, Wycliff Palu and Dave Dennis, who are all heading overseas, and Benn Robinson who has retired. There could be further losses to come, with veteran lock Dean Mumm weighing up whether to retire and coach Daryl Gibson saying longserving hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau will make an announcement shortly about his future. Tilse 30, made the first of his 64 NSW appearances back in 2006, with all but a handful of his 60 Super caps earned off the bench. Winger and centre Carraro accumulated 51 Super caps for NSW across five seasons in two separate spells.

Super team of the season

Methven’s club secretary John Fulton has made fleeting appearances for the seniors this season, while his boys George, 10, and Harry, 7, have turned out at JAB level.

Methven in fine shape

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Methven senior side’s results over the last two seasons have reflected the club’s distinctive colours; black and white.

The team of 2015 became the first Mid Canterbury side to win the Combined Country Competition and were runners-up in the Watters Cup. In contrast, Methven finished bottom of their section in this year’s Combined Competition and recorded just one win domestically.

But a quick glance at weekly results and points tables offers little into the goings-on within club level rugby.

Following another season of

success, seventeen senior players either hung up their boots or moved on to pastures new in 2015.

Such a large influx of senior personnel would leave most clubs in a precarious position, but not Methven.

Despite the departures, volunteers, including secretary John Fulton, remained as committed as ever in ensuring the club continued to thrive, while also managing to field both a senior B and senior side.

Fulton will enter his 20th year with the club and 16th season as secretary when 2017 rolls around, and tentative preparations for the new season are already under way.

■ MOTOR RACING

“At the end of last season, and towards Christmas, we thought numbers were pretty good,” said Fulton.

“It just shows you how quickly things can unfold come February, March – so that’s something we’ll be addressing.”

The 41-year-old, who slotted into the midfield against Hampstead a fortnight ago, credited the senior setup for their resolve and attitude this season, and praised the work of coaches Andy Pearce, Dale Palmer and Brenton Connell throughout a challenging campaign.

“The coaching staff have done a great job in what’s been a difficult season,” he said. “There’s been a very good team spirit in

both teams, but we just haven’t had the results on the park.”

Fulton reflected positively on the club’s depth on and off the paddock, while commending the support of the community.

“The club’s in a great position, all the way from JAB right the way through, and we have a very good committee,” he said.

“We get great support and sponsorship, so it’s not only when you senior side’s winning.”

The focus will now shift to next season, the club’s 121st, and Fulton is confident the good times will return.

“We’ll rebuild over the summer and come back stronger next year, we’ll move onwards upwards.”

Over the 17 weeks that make up the Super Rugby regular season, Radio Sport Rugby Editor Nigel Yalden has selected his NZ Form Team of the Week; here’s his Team of the Season.

1. Reg Goodes (Hurricanes) Goodes’ game has stepped up in all area this season. A very reliable scrummager and rarely bettered.

2. Dane Coles (Hurricanes) His level of play is what you’d expect of a first choice All Black as is the consistency of that play.

3. Owen Franks (Crusaders) has dominated the tighthead position and justifiably so. He owns his side of the scrum, contributes to the lineout and chugs around the field, clearing bodies – Forward of the Season.

4. Brodie Retallick (Chiefs) despite missing a month with a rib injury, Retallick was a clear selection in a position that provided the closest contest. His aerobic capacity is at times unfathomable, while his decision making continues to astound.

5. Tom Franklin (Highlanders) has been a model of consistency and hard work in the industrious and still under-appreciated Highlanders’ tight five.

6. Elliot Dixon (Highlanders) continues to deliver robust, combative performances that are laced with some delightful skill and athleticism.

7. Sam Cane (Chiefs) Much has been written, spoken and analysed about New Zealand openside flankers in Super Rugby this season. Throughout it all, Cane has gone out and led with his defence first and foremost (his 173 tackles is the most in Super Rugby).

8. Kieran Read (Crusaders) worked his way into the season quickly and efficiently, flourishing as much as he embraced his role of All Blacks captain. He’s calm and confident as a captain, his work at the back of a dominant Crusaders scrum deserves more credit.

9. Aaron Smith (Highlanders) Of all the things that stand out in his game, it’s his ability to help control and dictate the game that has impressed the most this season.

10. Lima Sopoaga (Highlanders) set an excellent standard and was clearly the best first five through the first two thirds of the competition.

11. James Lowe (Chiefs) was another player who is previous season has been guilty of inconsistency but not so in 2016. He’s made significant improvements in his decision making.

12. Charlie Ngatai (Chiefs) hasn’t been seen since leaving the field late in the Chiefs loss to the Highlanders on May 7 with a head knock. Up to that point of the season, he was a player of the year contender.

13. Malakai Fekitoa (Highlanders) despite being shifted into second five for the latter portion of the season his form at centre in the first half of the season was super impressive.

14. Johnny McNicholl (Crusaders) was a name not many would have picked to be figuring an end of season side like this, however like James Lowe, he’s eliminated the inexplicable basic errors from his game, puts himself in the right positions on the field and has back himself ball in hand.

15. Ben Smith (Highlanders) - it’s not just that he’s an outstanding rugby player; it’s that he’s a phenomenally consistency, instinctive, intelligent, tough, accurate, outstanding rugby player, whose skills are matched only by his incredible down-to-earthiness - Back of the Season.

Russian ban upheld

Magic peaking at the right time

By Marina Depetris Sport’s highest tribunal has rejected Russia’s appeal against a doping ban for its entire athletics team from the Rio Olympics starting in 15 days’ time, drawing swift and angry condemnation from Moscow.

The decision yesterday by the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) increases the possibility that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will now exclude Russia from all sports, not just track and field, in Rio de Janeiro.

That would mark the deepest crisis in the Olympic movement since the US and Soviet boycotts of the 1980s, and would be a grave blow to a nation that prides itself on its status as a sporting superpower.

“CAS rejects the claims/appeal of the Russian Olympic Committee and 68 Russian athletes,” CAS said in a statement that backed the right the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to suspend the Russian athletics federation.

Russia is one of the world’s foremost sporting powers which won the third biggest overall medal haul at the last summer Olympics in 2012 – though some of those results are now in question because of doping suspicions.

Double Olympic champion pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva called the decision “the funeral of athletics”.

The ban on Russia’s trackand-field team going to Rio was imposed last November by the IAAF after an independent report uncovered rampant state-sponsored doping in Russian athletics.

It was maintained in June after the IAAF Council ruled that not enough progress had been made.

Russia argued it had taken steps to clean up the sport, and that the blanket ban was unfair to individual athletes with no record of doping.

Russian officials, and many ordinary people in the country, have interpreted the doping allegations as part of a conspiracy inspired by Western governments who fear Moscow’s growing influence.

A spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry called the

court decision “a crime against sport”.

With its decision, the court was “absolutely violating the rights of clean athletes, creating a precedent of collective responsibility”, Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said.

The ball is now in the court of the IOC to decide whether Russia should be excluded from all sports at the Rio Games.

Pressure on the IOC to take such a step increased this week after another report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency revealed evidence of systematic

state-sponsored doping by Russian competitors before and during the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Russian city of Sochi.

The IOC is expected to reach a final decision tomorrow.

The IAAF said it was pleased that CAS had supported its stance.

Sergei Litvinov, a hammer thrower who was chosen for the Russian Olympic team, said his father had failed to make the 1984 Games when the Soviet Union boycotted the Los Angeles event because of Cold War tensions.

Sanctions the right move, says Bolt By roB Harris

Usain Bolt

Russia’s track and field team being banned from the Olympics sends a powerful message that should scare cheats, according to Usain Bolt.

Stretching out his left arm to show the small adhesive bandage covering the mark left by his latest doping test yesterday, Bolt decried the “really bad” doping problem in his sport.

The six-time Olympic champion was speaking in London shortly after the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected an appeal by 68 Russian athletes seeking to overturn a ban imposed by the IAAF, following allegations of state-sponsored doping.

“It’s a good message to show that if you cheat or you go against the rules then we’re going to take serious action,” Bolt

said. “This (ban on track and field athletes) will scare a lot of people, or send a strong message that the sport is serious, we want a clean sport.”

Two reports from the World Anti-Doping Agency have accused Russia of orchestrating a doping program that saw drugtainted samples disappear or manipulated.

Now the International Olympic Committee has to decide whether to go further than the IAAF’s decision and ban the entire Russia team from the Rio de Janeiro.

Usually so confident on the track, Bolt was initially wary about discussing the “sideshows” of Olympic bans but the Jamaican sprinter found his stride at a news conference in London.

“If you have the proof and you catch somebody I definitely

feel you should take action,” the 29-year-old Bolt said.

“And if you feel banning the whole team is the right action then I am all for it.

“Rules are the rules and doping violations in track and field is getting really bad so if you feel like you need to make a statement then thumbs up.”

Bolt was focused on running for the final time before Rio overnight, when he will race his first 200 metres of the season at the London Diamond League meeting.

It will be Bolt’s first event since pulling out of the Jamaican Olympic trials earlier this month with a hamstring injury.

“I’m good, I’m feeling good, been training good now,” Bolt said.

“I went to see the doctor and he worked his magic as always.”

Magic coach Julie Fitzgerald believes her side is peaking at the right time ahead of Monday’s trans-Tasman netball semi-final against her former team the NSW Swifts.

The Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic have been here before but Fitzgerald isn’t letting last year’s eight-goal semi-final loss to the Swifts hang over their heads.

“Both the Swifts and the Magic are very different teams to what they were this time last year,” Fitzgerald said.

Magic showed they were hitting top form when they emerged as surprise New Zealand conference victors with a two-goal win over the previously-undefeated Southern Steel.

It came after a weak start to the season, when Magic lost five of their first six games, including a 28-goal defeat at the hands of the Swifts in round two.

Fitzgerald said her team had been helped by the recent return of key players in captain Leana de Bruin and mid-courter Grace Rasmussen from lengthy injury spells.

“It’s really only been in the last month that we have had all players available and that’s made the development of any kind of structure difficult for us,” Fitzgerald said. “[Now] we’ve got our players back and are having proper training sessions.”

Fitzgerald will come up against some of her past players – including Swifts veteran Susan Pettitt – and former Magic captain Laura Langman, who transferred across the ditch this season.

Pettitt said while the Swifts were well-versed against New Zealand sides, “we know [Magic] are a completely different team from the the beginning of the year”.

“They’ve hit their form at the right time,” she said.

“I played under Julie for many years, she knows her opposition really well.

“She knows how to get her team up for a big game.”

Pettitt said the Swifts were working to overcome costly lapses which cost them dearly in their 63-52 loss to the Queensland Firebirds in Monday’s Australian conference final.

“We playing 10-12 minutes of really good netball each quarter, then we have a pause and that is what happened against the Firebirds.”

Monday’s winner will head to the grand final against the Australian semi-final victor, either the Queensland Firebirds or Southern Steel, on July 31. - AAP

Japan trip on the horizon

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s under-12 football team members are counting down the days before they jet off to the Land of the Rising Sun on August 9.

The local players will face Japanese teams in the town of Hosoe at the Friendship Games Tournament.

The team pulled out all the

stops to fundraise for their trip, from selling sunscreen to sausage sizzles, and coach Neil Simons praised his players for their hard work throughout.

“It’s tough, we found that there’s a lot of teams fundraising at this time for different tournaments,” he said. “We’ve been working hard since November and we’re probably at two thirds of our $40,000 target.”

Simons has been putting his team through their paces on the futsal court to improve their close control and prepare for the fastpaced matches they’ll be playing in Japan.

The boys will be billeted out with Japanese families throughout the trip, who they have been in contact with in recent weeks.

“The hosts were so keen to have everyone they’ll be staying

with two different families each,” Simons said.

“We’ve been making contact with the families, sending emails and photos, so most of the boys already know who they’re staying with.”

Although football is the primary reason for the trip, Simons is also keen for his players to experience a different culture on what will no doubt be a trip to remember.

Not the best of starts for the Kiwi contingent at the latest event on the PGA Tour. Danny Lee and Tim Wilkinson have both shot threeover 75s in the opening round of the Canadian Open in Ontario.

They sit in a share of 96th place, nine shots behind early leader American Luke List. Meanwhile Ryan Fox has made a strong start to his defence of the Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge title in France. The Olympics-bound Fox opened with a six-under 65 to sit two shots of the lead in third.

Tiger out for season Tiger Woods will not play in any professional events for the rest of the season as he continues a lengthy recovery from back surgeries, bringing into question his future in golf. The 40-yearold’s decision means the best golfer of his generation will be away from the sport for over a year when, and if, he returns.

Woods is recovering from multiple back surgeries.

Froome ‘can’t be beaten’ in this Tour By andrew dampF Take it from cycling great Eddy Merckx: nobody can beat Chris Froome in this Tour de France.

Riding with the poise and purpose of the Tour’s undisputed leader, Froome won a mountain time trial in Stage 18 and opened up a seemingly insurmountable lead of nearly four minutes over his closest challenger, Dutch rider Bauke Mollema.

Only two Alpine stages remain before the mostly ceremonial finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

“He deserves his win.

“He’s the strongest,” said Merckx, a five-time Tour winner.

“I can’t see what could prevent

him from keeping this yellow jersey until Paris. His opponents just stay on his team-mates’ wheels.

“Barring an incident, nobody can beat him in this Tour.”

Riding in a yellow bodysuit and yellow aerodynamic helmet, Froome pumped his right fist after clocking slightly more than half an hour over the 17-kilometer (10.5mile) route from Sallanches to the Megeve ski resort – which featured majestic views of Mont Blanc.

Froome finished 21 seconds ahead of Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin to take his second stage win of this year’s Tour.

“That’s a huge compliment coming from Eddy,” Froome said.

“Obviously we feel like we’re in a bit of a bubble in the race here.

“But to have somebody like that give a compliment like that is a great honour.”

Froome increased his overall lead to 3 minutes, 52 seconds over Mollema, with Adam Yates of Britain third, 4:16 behind.

Two-time runner-up Nairo Quintana stayed fourth but now trails by 4:37 after another difficult day for the Colombian.

“The main thing for me now is staying safe,” Froome acknowledged.

“Obviously I’ve got a fantastic advantage now. So now it’s about looking after that advantage and not taking any risks.

“It’s not over until we cross that final finish line, but today is a huge boost of confidence,”

Chris Froome Froome added. “I think over these next couple of days we’re going to see more of a race for podium spots.”

Froome stood only fifth at the first checkpoint, the top of the

Cote de Domancy climb, but the British rider clearly saved energy for the second half of the stage, surging in front over the final kilometers.

“Froome just showed he is the strongest,” said Dumoulin.

Spanish Vuelta champion Fabio Aru of Italy finished third in the stage, 33 seconds behind.

It was the Tour’s first mountain time trial since the 2004 race against the clock up l’Alpe d’Huez.

Besides the flat opening four kilometers (2.5 miles) and a short descent at the finish, it was entirely uphill.

Having also won the Tour last year, Froome is on course for his third title in four years.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

In brief

Firepower on Raiders’ bench

BY ROJE ADAIMY NRL top-four hopefuls Canberra want to deliver more than just a sucker punch to the Warriors today.

They intend to pepper them with jabs and wear down their equally-massive pack at GIO Stadium.

The Raiders have named four forwards on their bench, boasting a combined weight of 410kg.

With back-up hooker Kurt Baptiste out injured (ankle), coach Ricky Stuart has loaded his interchange bench with firepower – headed by 110kg wrecking ball Paul Vaughan and the experience of Sia Soliola.

“It is a big pack and that’s what we need against a big Warriors,” skipper Jarrod Croker said.

“With the four blokes on the bench they can probably use a bit more energy a bit earlier, knowing that they get an extra spell, so it works to their advantage.

“Hopefully they don’t blow out too quick.”

Lock Luke Bateman, returning from suspension, is hoping to make an immediate impact when he gets a run off the bench – even though he his one of the smaller players.

“Everyone will be going their hardest while they’re out there,” Bateman said.

He is also open to relieving Josh Hodgson at dummy-half if the English international can’t hold out for the full 80 minutes in the absence of Baptiste.

“I’ve been throwing a few passes at training so if worst comes

Skipper Jarrod Croker to worst I can step in and hit the halves on the chest,” he laughed.

The Raiders sit fifth and have

an opportunity to leapfrog Canterbury into the top four with a win this weekend.

They have won their past three matches and are feeling refreshed after a bye last week.

Croker, who has only twice made the finals since joining the club in 2009, said this season is the first time he’s been asked about the prospect of finishing the season in the top half of the ladder.

“The times we have played finals football, we’ve sort of come from nowhere and made a run for it,” Croker added.

“It’s good to be thinking about it but it’s not a priority at the moment.

“There’s still seven weeks of footy left and anything can happen in that time.”

Cowboys put a damper on Bulldogs’ title hopes A hamstring injury to Johnathan Thurston has soured another emphatic home victory for North Queensland after their 36-0 NRL thumping of Canterbury in Townsville.

Thurston starred as the Cowboys opened up a 20-0 lead over the Bulldogs after 45 minutes on Thursday night before the superstar playmaker was forced to leave the field.

He didn’t return.

Clive Churchill medallist Thurs-

ton was confident the injury wouldn’t leave him sidelined for long.

However early indications were he could miss around two weeks.

“It’s not too bad – it is just more of a precaution,” Thurston said.

“I felt a twinge when I put in a grubber kick and, when I went to run, I couldn’t accelerate.

“I should be right (for next week). It is just cotton wool.”

North Queensland didn’t let up after Thurston’s injury, piling on

three more tries in his absence to embarrass the Bulldogs at 1300 Smiles Stadium in the opening game of round 20.

Antonio Winterstein scored three tries for the home side, while Julian O’Neill scored two, with Jason Taumalolo laying a tremendous platform up front.

“That was our most-complete performance of the year,” Cowboys coach Paul Green said.

“Defence is the hardest part of the game to get right and I was

pleased with that tonight.”

On Thurston’s injury, Green said: “It wasn’t one of those gunshot ones. We have a long turnaround. He was upbeat. A win always helps. Hopefully, he will be alright.”

The loss throws doubt on the Bulldogs’ premiership claims, after they came into the match on the back of four straight wins.

The visitors were outclassed across the park in a match they will want to quickly forget. - AAP

■ OPINION

Perspective needed on Lolohea situation

BY MICHAEL BURGESS

I

t’s time for some perspective on the Tui Lolohea situation.

It seems to be spinning out of control, mainly driven by Australian pundits and media.

Why the likes of Matthew Johns, Greg Alexander and Braith Anasta – who are just ex-players with an opinion and have no coaching background – are given so much credence on this side of the Tasman is sometimes hard to understand.

It’s better to stick to the facts.

The Lolohea controversy has been fuelled by two coaching decisions by Andrew McFadden.

The first was the late switch ahead of the Sharks game in round 16, with Jonathan Wright coming in ahead of Lolohea.

Wright had a poor game, with several glaring errors, but even without those he should never, in any circumstances, be picked ahead of the likes of Lolohea, Ken Maumalo or David Fusitua.

McFadden can be cautious and this was a conservative selection that backfired.

The second occurred in Perth last Saturday.

There is an argument that

Ashburton Guardian 23

Lolohea should have taken the field in the final quarter rather than Jazz Tevaga.

Whether he was a straight swap for Manu Vatuvei, or put into the halves, with Thomas Leuluai shifting to loose forward, Lolohea was the kind of player who could have broken that game open.

Understandably, like any ambitious player, Lolohea was upset.

That was why, as the Herald revealed this week, he sought a private meeting with McFadden last Monday.

At the moment, he is a victim of circumstance – with Fusitua and Ken Maumalo in career-best form – and his versatility.

But he has no desire to play anywhere other than Mt Smart, though that could change depending how the rest of the season plays out.

And the coaching staff retain faith in Lolohea.

He’s been asked to work on his defence and other aspects of his game but Lolohea is seen as a player of great potential.

This is not another Konrad Hurrell or Feleti Mateo situation,

where the club hierarchy decided there were attitude issues beyond repair.

Lolohea is not yet the finished article but is not that far away.

He’s waiting for his chance, which could come any time with injuries or loss of form.

Shaun Johnson can relate to Lolohea’s situation, having endured a longer than expected wait for his first grade debut.

He came into the NRL squad at the end of 2009 but didn’t debut until mid2011.

“I can understand his disappointment and frustrations around it, for sure,” said Johnson.

“[Back then] I didn’t have to come off the bench that much but in terms of that ‘in and out’ [cycle], I was kind of put through that.

“I can see where his head is at, especially someone like Tui, who’s never had to go through this kind of thing in his life.”

Johnson is backing his teammate to emerge stronger from the experience, and has no doubts about his long-term future at the club.

“He’s got a different role in the team at the moment and has to adapt to it,” said Johnson.

“Everyone who knows rugby league knows he is going to be a big part of this club.

“We will get around him, we will support him and I’m sure you’ll see him back playing more minutes soon ... he will be better for it.”

Weight off his mind A drop in weight today will be of significant help to the in-form mare Aide Memoire at New Plymouth. The four-year-old will enjoy the relief after finishing runner-up in the Listed Tauranga Classic last time out with 57kg.

“She’s not that big and the 53kg suits her a whole lot more,” said trainer Fraser Auret, who was thrilled with her performance on a testing Tauranga track. “I was tired just watching her. I was very proud of her and that was her first trip away.”

Broadening horizons Former New Zealand-based riders Kei Chiong and Jack Wong will begin their Australian stints this weekend. Champion Hong Kong apprentice Chiong is spending a month with Adelaide trainer Phillip Stokes and has five rides at Morphettville today. She was the first female rider to be licensed in Hong Kong since Carol Yu retired in 2000.

Wong is spending the off-season with John Sargent and will ride Elusive Runner tomorrow. - NZME

Crucial race today Spreadeagled’s immediate future will be determined by his performance at Flemington today.

“He’s climbed the ladder now, but he’s still got to go and take those next steps,” trainer Robert Smerdon said of the New Zealandbred son of Mastercraftsman.

“This run will assess where we are and then we’ll work out where to go from there.”

- NZME

Staying future Cambridge trainer Roger James produced an eye-catching maiden winner at Hawke’s Bay on Thursday when Misty Music overcame a chequered passage to land the Emirates Melbourne Cup Tour in HB 23 July 1650. Ridden by Masa Tanaka for owner Kevin Hickman, Misty Music was successful at just her second race day outing and the three-year-old daughter of Stravinsky looks to have a future over ground. “It’s fair to say she would have been unlucky had she not won,” James said. “Masa had to change ground a couple of times on her and she still lacks a bit of ring craft and maturity.”

- NZME

Australia calling?

Well-bred three-year-old Bugle Call could earn himself a trip to cotrainer Michael Moroney’s Melbourne base if he continues to hit the right notes. The gelding will have the opportunity to further his record in the New Zealand Bloodstock Finance & Leasing 1600 at New Plymouth today. “He’s a big, lanky type of horse, but he can certainly gallop,” Ballymore Stables racing manager Nick Fairweather said. “It’s one step at a time, but Mike might take him across the Tasman at some stage.”

- NZME

Sydney trip unlikely Peter Lock has all but ruled out a trip to Australia for the progressive Mr Luigi. The Te Aroha trainer had floated the idea of a Sydney campaign following the fiveyear-old’s impressive last-start win at Te Rapa, but after further consideration a domestic Group One preparation is now the likely focus.

South Island to lose seven meetings Sixteen race meetings have been cut from the 2016-17 calendar.

“That is in line with the Strategic Plan released by the Board in August of last year,” said New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s general manager of racing and handicapping Matthew Hall.

“We have to cater for the horse population and maintain average field sizes and also provide a better platform for distribution of prize money.

“A minimum of $20,000, outside of maidens, for feature days is made possible by fewer races.”

Seven meetings have been cut from the South Island next season, five from the central districts and four from the northern region’s programme.

“We are the first to acknowledge that the average field sizes in the south have been terrific in the last 12 months and we will continue to

monitor that,” Hall said. “We think the northern region in winter was over-catered for and, again, we will continue to look at that. What I am stressing to all clubs is that there is no desire from us to make further dramatic reductions in meetings for the next two or three years.”- NZME

Amalgamation of ANZ branches back has been very positive, Mr Leith said. The on-bank business will mean there will be two Marks working in management roles, with Mark Grenside handling the commercial and agri side of the business.

For him, the move provided an opportunity to increase both work space and the size of his team, Mr Grenside said.

Right – Decades of their collective working lives have been spent in the ANZ’s East Street branch but from Monday from left staff members Bernie Lee (15 years), Wendy Crossman (11 years), Janine Ellis (8 years) and Christine Pooke (26 years) will be turn up for work at the bank’s Tancred Street premise.

■ OPINION

New Zealand Equity Market New Zealand equities managed a positive return despite the market experiencing a very brief period of concern surrounding Brexit.

This reflects the lower direct earnings exposure that New Zealand companies have to the UK or Europe, with the expected ‘lower

UK equities actually benefited from the weaker British Pound (GBP), but the weaker currency still resulted in returns being negative from a NZD perspective.

Selwyn Sloan and Michael Coleman MONEY MATTERS

for longer’ interest rates maintaining the dividend yield attraction of New Zealand equities.

Foreign ownership is also expected to remain supportive with ownership having shifted towards more passive investment.

This should mean it would take a prolonged period of volatility before offshore investment in New Zealand equities would be reduced.

However, valuation multiples for the majority of large cap companies remain high.

Accordingly, earnings forecasts need to be delivered upon for current market values to be maintained.

Global Equity Markets US equities provided the best returns out of the developed markets. This was supported by the economic outlook. The US dollar (USD) also strengthened post “Brexit”.

Australian equities performed relatively strongly during the last three months with all sectors of the market, except Consumer Staples, posting positive returns.

The Resource and Healthcare sectors were the standouts.

However, gains were largely offset as political uncertainty post the Federal Election and the prospect of little reform and a deteriorating fiscal deficit, meant the Australian dollar weakened.

European and UK equity returns were the weakest in NZD terms, as the UK referendum increased risk in the region.

Fixed Interest Markets ‘Risk-off’ post the unexpected support for Brexit meant bond yields fell over the last three months. Long-term bond yields are now over 100 basis points lower than a year ago, at record lows.

Central Bank support has been signalled and lower-for-longer interest rates should now be expected.

Even before the uncertainty created by the UK referendum, the negative interest rate policies in Europe and Japan had seen unusual investment behaviour, with the Republic of Ireland able to issue a 100-year bond at an interest rate of 2.35%.

This was at an interest rate lower than the then US 30-year bond and not that many years after Ireland had been bailed out.

The Spanish have followed suit with investors accepting 50-year bonds, despite Spain defaulting on its obligations on average every 26 years.

Domestically, issuance was very strong over the last three months and in particular, issuance of senior debt securities.

This increase in choice has allowed investors to be more selective in participating in offerings and in positioning debt portfolios.

n a world where growth in the world’s major economies is slow, geopolitical outcomes such as the UK referendum and its unexpected ‘leave’ vote provide a reminder of the risks to the fragile recovery.

A period of financial market volatility ensued, although this was short-lived. This was despite expectations of the UK’s exit path from Europe being long and convoluted.

However, the long goodbye may weigh on trade and investment decisions. Employment growth in the UK, and possibly EU, may slow, as hiring intentions are put on hold.

Already economic growth forecasts for the UK and Europe are being trimmed.

However, it is not all doom and gloom. The US economy continues to grow, with real GDP rising around 2% on an annual basis.

Even in Europe things are not all bad, with business confidence in Germany strong and German manufacturing and non-manufacturing production indices robust.

Reviewing equity market returns over the last three months, the fall-out from the UK referendum showed up in New Zealand dollar (NZD) returns for European and UK equities.

Actual returns were mixed in local currencies and after adjusting for currency impacts, slightly negative across the markets we follow.

First there was one; then there were two and now Ashburton’s ANZ customers will have the confusion removed from their bank dealings, with the Australasian bank again having just one service centre.

From Monday, all ANZ business will be transacted through just one premise when the East Street and Tancred Street banks combine forces.

Staff relocated on Friday from the East Street branch into a newlook Tancred Street premise. And that amalgamation of banks will come with a new name – ANZ Ashburton.

Unlike many mergers this one comes with no frontline job losses. The same people from both branches will be serving custom-

ers, says branch manager Mark Leith.

The change from two banks to one was driven by a world-wide change in banking habits, where more people were doing their day-to-day banking online or on their smartphones, Mr Leith said.

“Coming into branches mostly for specialist advice; the average ANZ customer uses mobile banking 1-2 times a day, and visits a branch only two times a year.”

The refurbished Tancred Street branch will have a secure 24hour lobby, a new Smart ATM and customer Wi-Fi. It will also have private bank, business bank, sales and commercial and agri specialists at the site.

Customers had been notified about the change and the feed-

Come on down, Ashburton needs you Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

H

elp, Ashburton needs more businesses.

Our main street is starting to look a little sad.

Yes, we still have plenty of great places to spend our hardearned dollars, but the number of places we have to spend those dollars is shrinking.

There are dozens of factors that have played a part in creating the blank shop fronts that are starting to pop up around town.

The biggest player of course, was the Canterbury earthquakes.

They created a business disruption that will hopefully never be repeated.

Businesses moved, buildings were demolished, new buildings were constructed and new businesses established. The balance, however, has never been quite equal.

Walk down East Street and in each block there is at least one locked door. From Monday that number will be increased by one with the contraction of the ANZ from two banks into one.

Add to that the number of office spaces that are untenanted and the planned new build’s yet to come on stream and we’re in danger of having a town centre peppered with as many empty buildings as occupied.

And that’s not a good look.

We know we’re a positive and thriving district, that our retail heart beats strongly, but it’s the impression those blank shop fronts send to the passing public that’s the worry. Why would you stop when half the town appears to be closed?

Our retailers are doing their absolute best to ensure they stock what we want and they’re fighting to have parking fees canned to remove another impediment to inner town shopping.

Those yawning retail gaps are everyone’s problem. We need to give out-of-town businesses every reason to look our way, to set up business on our patch.

Yes, that would create competition for our current retailers, but for them a little competition is a small price to pay for a vibrant town centre.

Competition is good. The more businesses we have, the more people we’ll attract into town.

Filling those retail gaps is not an option, it’s a necessity, but to have any chance of doing this we need good retail premises at reasonable rentals. And we need a district-wide push to get those up north to look south.

C

an you hear the highest reaches of the glass ceiling cracking under the enormous pressure about to bear down on them?

I doubt whether they were designed to withstand, concurrently, the weight of a female president of the United States of America (and also a VP of the same gender), a lady prime minister of post-Brexit, Great Britain and a woman at the helm of the United Nations, even if she isn’t, in the end, Helen Clark. Times, they really are a’changing.

In this country, we are fairly used to such appointments even if they are still rare and not always without controversy.

Our current Chief Justice would be a case in point, and our new, female Governor-General, unknown to all but the very well informed. What seems to be even more significant is that such leading ladies need not conform to any sort of preconceived template setting out the criteria they are expected to meet.

So they may be single, married with children, or married without. Any critical encroachment onto that blueprint is liable to be met with outrage and explosive derision.

The recent experience of the one opponent left to challenge Theresa May for the top job in Britain will no doubt attest to that.. Andrea Leadsom – an intriguing name for a politician – had the suicidal temerity to suggest her experience of motherhood would make her a more realistic candidate as her rival, May, is childless.

Social, and every other form of media, instantly went to code red as the incensed reaction spread across the Kingdom. Leadsom’s predictable protestations that she had been misquoted – by The Times no less, as if it would! – fell as flat as they sounded.

So we can now look forward to a breaking dawn in the promotion of women to the heights of leadership. In Aotearoa, New

Today’s online poll question Q: Would you take classes to better your computer skills?

CONTACTS News tips Call 03 307-7958 After hours news tips sue.n@theguardian.co.nz Advertising Call 03 307-7936 emma.j@theguardian.co.nz Zealand, there are a number of candidates for promotion to the top of the greasy pole, as Benjamin Disraeli described it in the nineteenth century.

From the Nats, Judith Collins is said still to be a front runner to succeed long-serving John Key despite some much-publicised aberrations along the way, while Paula Bennett, recent upheavals over homes and homelessness, notwithstanding, must too be in the frame.

Amy Adams at Justice has been making favourable waves of late, while Maggie Barry is seldom seen far from close contact with the environment, often with a cuddly kiwi on her lap.

Nikki Kay and Nicky Wagner frequently generate column inches so, all in all, there are quite a bevy of National women waiting in the wings for their chance to shatter the glass mould by which they are said to be hedged.

If it were a question of two of them in harness, as per Clinton and, possibly, the formidable Elizabeth Warren, perhaps Pauline and Nikki would be the best combination. On the other side of the now more or less artificial divide, Labour’s undoubted

star of present and future is the photogenic, and young Jacinda Ardern.

The force is clearly with her so a tandem, female top Labour team requires a partner for her who could be the experienced, Annette King, current mother of the party, or one of the lesser known, Carmel Sepuloni, Megan Woods or Nanaia Mahuta.

They lack public recognition but that is not easy to acquire when the Party seems permanently to be out of office.

Such a meeting of feminine minds in cahoots as one and two of a future government, as seems to be about to happen in the USA, could happen here in Aotearoa, New Zealand, but I wouldn’t think just yet. Our glass ceiling may be harder to split.

On the immediate political front, Labour surely gained some poll traction with its grand plans for increasing the number of affordable houses available to those looking for such accommodation, even if the very word affordable is surrounded by controversy and conflict.

Invoking the spirit of Labour legend, Michael Joseph Savage and the state houses he inaugu-

rated just before WW2, seemed to boost the morale of the delegates at the Party’s one hundredth birthday celebrations and while on the platform for that occasion, Leader Andrew Little clearly enjoyed his finest hour so far.

For once important policy, of concern to the voters, was being articulated rather than the ritual slagging off of political opponents. The people liked it, as they always do when our esteemed representatives stop namecalling.

As so often in this area of human endeavour, politics, there are interesting times ahead. The extraordinarily abrupt re-ordering of just about every aspect of parliamentary business as well as its leading practitioners in Britain is an indication of how fickle the game can be.

Two highly-charged Party conventions have unfolded in America, while here, we are supposed to have a whole year before next we are asked to make a judgement on the present administration but after the recent world-wide upheavals even we may not have to wait that long.

That’s the fascination of being in this calling!

The healing and rebuilding of communities Henry Mbambo

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

M

any times through media reports, we are reminded of the violence which takes place in our communities against powerless children.

We are familiar with the story of Moko who was killed three years ago and last month the nation was reminded of this through the

protest marches that took place in many towns in Aotearoa New Zealand. As a church minister and student of social and community work, the question I ask is; what can we do to address this social challenge?

I believe that this question needs to be answered starting at a local level. Violence can be a sign of how fragmented and fractured in general our communities have become and there is need for rebuilding our communities.

Organisations such as churches

in Ashburton, have a role to play in rebuilding communities. If we are to make peace and speak the truth, we need to do so in love, and address the social challenge of family violence faced by New Zealand as a nation.

The healing and rebuilding of our communities can happen when we intentionally address the problem of family violence.

Churches have a role to play, by creating spaces where truth is told in love, where we can lament community’s brokenness and re-

pent of our complicity. In rebuilding community, there is need for creative partnerships that will address the needs of our communities in general and the challenge of family violence in particular.

It is my hope that this will happen as neighbours get to know each other and all people remember that we are all precious, including the children, for we all bear the image of the Creator.

Henry Mbambo is Minister at St. David’s Community Church

Greyhound racers angered Greyhound racers have slammed the report that triggered the sport’s ban in NSW as biased and seriously flawed.

Commissioner Michael McHugh’s report into the greyhound racing industry relied on terms of reference that were outdated, inappropriately narrow and biased, the NSW Greyhound Racing Industry Alliance said yesterday.

The group, which is angered by claims the industry is too sick to recover, has presented a rebuttal to the NSW government, detailing alleged factual

errors in the report.

The report’s finding that up to 20 per cent of trainers were using live baiting was based on a single testimony, the rebuttal says.

Only 14 of the 4400 registered trainers in the state had appeared before the commission to provide information, it says, adding that Commissioner McHugh’s report appeared to be focused on the closure of the industry.

“It is clear the report does not take into consideration the changes the industry has

made in the last 16 months,” says Brenton Scott, executive director of the Greyhound Breeders, Owners and Trainers’ Association.

The greyhound industry says the number of greyhounds being bred has nearly halved during the past year, and injury rates are lower than reported.

“Every other Australian state is reforming and improving greyhound racing. Why can’t the NSW industry be given a fair go to reform and improve?”

The industry also challenged the legality of the ban, as it is based on the concept that the industry had run out on its “social licence” by perpetrating animal cruelty.

“It appears the premier has based his decision on the industry’s supposed loss of ‘social licence’ and yet there is no legal application to the concept,” Mr Scott said.

He warned that racers and trainers who had been denied procedural fairness would be able to sue the government for damages.

Doctor attacked over fake vaccines A scandal over fake vaccines given to children prompted angry and confused parents to physically attack a doctor in the Indonesian capital in a sign of deep-seated problems in the country’s health system.

Since last month, vials filled with saline solution and antibiotics have been discovered at 37 hospitals and clinics in nine cities, according to the Food and Drug Agency.

So far, 23 people have been arrested, including three doctors. The number of affected children is still being investigated.

Indonesia President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo this week visited a clinic where nearly 170 children were to be revaccinated. He asked for patience while police continue to investigate an “extraordinary crime” of bogus vaccines allegedly going back as far as 2003.

“We are in crisis right now,” said Dr. Aman Bhakti Pulungan, head of Indonesia’s Pediatrician Association. “This is a medical emergency, and we have to overcome this.”

He said he is not aware of any children dying as a result of not being protected against diseases they were believed to have been vaccinated against, but added it’s possible some kids could have gotten sick

Already famous for her toned arms, we now know Michelle Obama has pipes to match. The first lady toured the White House grounds with Late Late Show television host and British comedian James Corden for his “Carpool Karaoke” segment, belting out hits like Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours and Beyonce’s Single Ladies. The sing-along session - a recurring bit on the late-night talk show that’s featured stars like Justin Bieber, Adele and Elton John - included banter about the Obama family’s secret service code names, Snapchat and life after the White House.

The fake vaccines involved a number of shots routinely given to children, including for measles, whooping cough, hepatitis and diphtheria.

The counterfeits were labeled as imported brands, Pulungan said.

He believes the number of children affected is likely small, given that only 1 percent of vaccines administered nationwide are imported. The government began re-vaccinating children this week free of charge at affected hospitals and clinics, including 14 in the

But the former prime minister has placed in the middle of

Portugal’s former prime minister Antonio Guterres topped the first informal poll, followed

by Slovenia’s former president Danilo Turk.

At number three, Irina Bokova of Bulgaria, who heads UNESCO, is the only woman candidate in the top five. Clark came sixth.

“I think she would have been

hoping for better. But I don’t think there is certainly any reason for her to desist,” said Shearer, who spent 20 years working at the UN. “Everybody was talking about a woman and an Eastern European, in fact, that hasn’t panned out in terms of the first straw vote goes.

“Who knows what will happen with the next one. I think everyone will sort of swallow hard and soldier on, and that’s

what they should do.”

The 15 council members decided not to reveal the results of their voting to “encourage”, “discourage”, or express “no opinion” about the 12 candidates.

But despite the council’s efforts at secrecy, the results quickly leaked out.

Clark reportedly received eight “encourage” votes but five “discourage” votes and two “no opinion”.

Hollywood heavyweights Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo are all the rage on the Gold Coast for the latest Thor instalment, overshadowing a film starring Melissa George being made nearby. Aussie film The Butterfly Tree has gone into production in the Gold Coast Hinterland, about a half-hour’s drive west of where Hemsworth is wielding his hammer and Ruffalo turns green with anger. Filming for The Butterfly Tree started earlier this week while Thor: Ragnarok has been in production at Warner Bros Studios on the Gold Coast for almost two weeks. Also making the trip to the glitter strip are Cate Blanchette, Tom Hiddleston and Idris Elba.

Ten arrested after talks of attacks

Teen sues for $12m

Brazilian police arrested 10 people who allegedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group on social media and discussed possible attacks during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, officials said overnight.

Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes said in the capital, Brasilia, that 10 suspects had been detained and two more were being sought. All are Brazilian, and one is a minor. The gender of the people was not given.

Police acted because the group discussed using weapons and guerrilla tactics to potentially launch an attack during the Olympics, which begin August 5, Moraes said.

However “they were complete amateurs and ill-prepared” to actually launch an attack, Moraes said. “A few days ago they said they should start practicing martial arts, for example.”

Still, Moraes said even disorganised groups should be taken seriously.

The arrests were made in 10 different states, including Sao Paulo and Parana in the southern part of the country, and it

In brief

Car bomb tragedy averted A major tragedy has been averted after officers threw themselves into harm’s way when a man set himself alight and drove his car at a police station in Sydney’s west.

“They put out the flame and removed a gas bottle that had been opened and was inside the vehicle at the time,” NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione told reporters on yesterday.

The officers put out the fire and dragged the badly burnt driver from the car.

“So many people could have been in serious danger – including members of the community,” Mr Scipione said.

“There were civilians walking across the footpath in the footage I have seen, not seconds before let alone minutes before this event.”

The attacker, who is now under police guard in hospital in a serious but stable condition, was spotted in the driveway of the Merrylands Police Station about 7pm on Thursday.

As police approached he ignited and rammed into the roller door of the underground car park.

The man hasn’t been formally identified but he’s believed to be aged around 61 and known to police. He was reportedly due to front Fairfield Local Court yesterday to face an apprehended violence order application related to an alleged domestic dispute with a relative. Officers raided the man’s nearby home yesterday

was not clear whether the suspects knew each other beyond their online contacts. Moraes said there were no specific targets for an attack.

Moraes said they had all been “baptised” as Islamic State sympathisers online and none had actually traveled to Syria or Iraq, the group’s stronghold, or received any training.

Several were allegedly trying to secure financing from the group, known by the acronym Isis.

The justice minister said one of the suspects communicated with a store in Paraguay via email in an alleged attempt to by an AK-47 assault rifle, apparently the most concrete action taken toward a possible attack.

That email communication was intercepted by police.

Security has emerged as the top concern during the Olympics, including violence possibly spilling over from Rio’s hundreds of slums.

Authorities have said they will be prepared and that some 85,000 police and soldiers will be patrolling during the competitions.

A Queensland teenager horrifically burnt when a boy poured accelerant on a fire at a party is suing a mother for $11.8 million, alleging she failed to properly supervise the gathering.

Paris Turkington, then 16, suffered severe third-degree burns to 42 per cent of her body when she was engulfed by a sheet of flame during the party at a Toowoomba house in August 2013.

She has extreme facial scarring and still wears a whole body pressure garment for 23 hours a day.

Ms Turkington, now 19, is suing the woman whose son invited her to the party alleging she failed to supervise, or adequately supervise, the gathering where most attendees were 15 or 16 years old.

It’s alleged youths threw accelerant, either kerosene or methylated sprits, onto a brazier fire numerous times during the party before the incident that left the teenager severely burnt.

Her personal injury claim alleges her mother, Phoebe Turkington, had asked the woman whether she needed any help supervising the teens but was told a male friend would be coming over to help.

“In truth, and in fact, at no time during the duration of the gathering was any adult present to act in a supervisory capacity other than the defendant herself,” the Supreme Court claim states.

Ms Turkington was burnt by a “sheet of flame” when a 15-yearold boy, who was not invited to the party, poured accelerant from a bottle onto the fire.

She spent 33 days in an induced coma, time in intensive care and burns units, and underwent numerous surgeries.

Ms Turkington’s lawyer, Jillian Barrett, of Maurice Blackburn, described the injuries as horrific.

“Her injuries are excruciating and she’ll never fully recover,” she said.

“It is a significant claim but it’s for a lifetime of treatment and a career cut short before it even began.”

Ms Barrett said the defendant’s home and contents insurance should be able to be used to fund her client’s claim as premiums protected people invited into the home.

She said the case should serve as a warning to parents hosting parties for young people.

Crews have kept watch over the charred factory for flare-ups. “It is a major supplier of car parts for Melbourne – so there’s a large fuel load, car parts, engine parts,” the MFB’s Shane Rider told the Nine Network yesterday. Mr Rider said the damage could be in excess of $1 million.

23/7 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): “Do you know what I mean?” they ask. You do, but that doesn’t equate to agreement. The fact that they want validation from you says something. They want your respect.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): What you did in the past is its own kind of ghost, haunting you at the oddest times. Just remember that ghosts, having no body, are illusory and able to distort themselves.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Someone who took another road will give you a glimpse of your parallel life, and you’ll gain insight as to what it might have been like to live, love or work in a different direction.

You’ll let this inform your next decision.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There’s something so great about doing it your way, even if the results themselves don’t exactly turn out the way you intended (or even close): It’s just interesting to know what the unadulterated, uncompromised version is.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): When everyone wants you to show up somewhere, it’s a testament to your stellar company and their deep affection for you. It also has something to do with the way the financial end of these occasions is likely to shake out.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and blurt out what’s on your mind, but this is not one of those times. If you feel nervous and wordless on the subject, wait it out.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Is “almost” ever enough?

“Nearly there” isn’t there, to be sure, but it’s not nowhere, either. Stand where you landed for a while and consider your options.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Remember when you took the popular route and were disappointed in the views? That’s what’s at your creative core today, driving your unusual and oh-so-satisfying choices.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The bitterness of coffee makes the flavour so compelling and a harsh take on a situation that’s gotten sickeningly sweet will provide intellectual and comedic interest today.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): What flies for entertainment on a stage might be considered overly bold and inappropriate in real life. You’re good at reading your “room,” and will perform accordingly.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Growth is often associated with pain, but you are in a relatively pleasurable growth period. Sure, there are moments of uncertainty, and it’s not the most comfortable process in the world... but it’s not half bad, either.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Foiled? Go again. Never end the story with the hero (you) in a position that doesn’t have the audience (you) cheering. Who’s to say tomorrow’s play won’t be a game changer?
