Coastal wells at record lows

BY NADINE PORTER

NADINE.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Groundwater wells in coastal Mid Canterbury are at record lows, while up to 15 farmers on the north side of the Rakaia River are already on restrictions.

Latest data from Environment Canterbury’s monitoring shows wells in Chertsey, Pendarves, Seafield and Lowcliffe are at record lows. ECan surface water

resources and ecosystems manager, Tim Davies, said generally ground water levels in the Ashburton District were low, with some at “quite record lows” east of State Highway 1.

“It’s dry and levels are lower much earlier in the season.”

Mr Davies said if the dry season continued as forecast, some farmers may use up their water allocation early and

may struggle to have water available at the end of the growing season when critical grain fill was occurring.

“So irrigation efficiency is going to be absolutely key.”

Five things that may interest you

Runaway seal A mischievous seal has flippered its way more than 1km through paddocks to visit a West Auckland farm yesterday morning. Taupaki farmer Vincent La Rosa said his father first saw the seal on the driveway about 7.30am. The farm property borders Brigham Creek – an inlet from the Waitemata Harbour which runs past Hobsonville into West Auckland – so the seal is thought to have made its way up from there. And the hefty mammal is understood to be a repeat offender, with Department of Conservation (DOC) officers stating the seal in question was well-known to their team. At the moment he’s just crashed out on the grass. He seems pretty happy, Mr La Rosa said. “I’ve spoken to DOC and he’s been around the area before.”

Heads up cat lovers Cats are coming to Auckland’s CBD. A feline-loving lawyer plans to open the BaristaCats Cafe by December 1. Longtime cat lover Julia Whitehead, originally from Christchurch, fell in love with the concept on a recent visit to Thailand. To bring the “same magic experience” to New Zealand she’s chosen 10 special cats to roam the cafe. Ms Whitehead has worked closely with Auckland Council, the Ministry for Primary Industries and the SPCA to ensure the cafe is suitable for cats to occupy the same area as customers enjoying their food and coffee. “The cafe has been carefully designed to provide great spaces for cats and customers to interact.” It has an open-plan dining space and an adjoining relaxed lounge space in which patrons can get up close and personal with the BaristaCats’ tabbies. BaristaCats will be available for group hire, corporate events, parties and other special occasions on demand.

Odom, Kardashian call off divorce

Newsroom Call 03 307-7957

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have decided to stay married as the former NBA star continues his recovery a week after he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel.

Kardashian’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, filed a petition yesterday to dismiss the reality star’s divorce filing from December 2013.

A clerk granted the request in such a way that the divorce papers can be refiled at a later date. The document doesn’t state a reason for the change, but shows Odom signed off on dismissing the divorce on Wednesday. Kardashian has been

by Odom’s side since he was found in an extremely critical condition on October 13 at the Love Ranch brothel.

Alpine pork wins the day The exotically named “alpine pork” sausage has fought off strong competition from a range of gourmet bangers to be named New Zealand’s top sausage. The honour was handed down to the creation from supermarket Countdown at the final of the Devro New Zealand sausage competition at Billfish Cafe in Auckland on Wednesday – on the eve of National Sausage Day yesterday. There were more than 400 entries to the competition and as the summer BBQ “sausage season” approaches, Kiwis wanting to branch out from the traditional pre-cooked options have a few interesting flavours to choose from. Some of the sausages awarded “gold medals” at the competition include a pork, cracked pepper, coriander and basil banger from New World Bishopdale in Christchurch, duck a’la’orange from Westmere Butchery in Auckland and chicken, cranberry and camembert from the Gore New World.

The entries were assessed by a panel of culinarytrained chefs, butchers and food writers.

■ GROW MID CANTERBURY

Career fair plan for students

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Instead of speed dating, Mid Canterbury secondary school students could be applying the same rapid fire philosophy to career options next year.

To create the best possible forum for young people to look at life beyond school, Grow Mid Canterbury’s chief executive Rob Brawley is keen to run a career fair that would involve local employers meeting with students in

a speed dating style format.

Employers would peddle their wares to groups of students who would rotate around a room, stopping off at each employment stand for set periods of time.

The rapidfire information grabs would allow a large group of students to receive a quick run down on a range of career options, the skills and the training needed and it could be a winner for both employers and students, Mr Brawley said.

“It’ll allow students to look at the jobs that are around to get some ideas and to see what’s out there in the way of careers.”

For employers it could potentially increase the pool of potential employees in a market where unemployment was very low.

The success of the event would rely on buy in from secondary schools and businesses, but for students, the credibility of the event would be enhanced by having younger people who were

successful in their careers as front people, he said.

The idea has been given full support by Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan.

“It’s a great idea, a fantastic idea. It’s something that would be doable by local employers and we’d be very, very keen and happy to help where we could,” he said.

A careers speed dating event would be useful for students from Year 11 to 13 and if held in

the first term would ensure they could make the right course courses the following year. It would also allow students time during the year to take a closer look at a career that appealed to them and to undertake work experience, Mr McMillan said.

“I’m not aware of anything like this being done anywhere else, but it would be fantastic. Mid Canterbury has an amazing advantage of having a full spectrum of employment available.”

■ METHVEN RODEO

Animal welfare top priority for rodeo organisers

By RuBy HaRfield

ruby.h@theguardian.co.nz

Animal welfare will be of the utmost priority at this year’s Methven Rodeo, says vice-president Stephen Sauer.

More than 6000 people from all over the country will make their way, spurs and all, to the Methven Showgrounds for the annual event on Sunday.

Mr Sauer said rodeos had recently received a lot of negative publicity but the organisers of the Methven festivities would be doing everything they could to protect the animals’ welfare.

“We’ve got nothing to hide.

“Animal welfare is our utmost priority.’’

The horses spend a day at the rodeo but get to graze and roam for the rest of the year.

“They have a good life.”

A lot of work had also been done to make the yards more stock-friendly this year and a vet will be there for the entire day to thoroughly check all the animals, he said.

The rodeo, which is in its 46th year, is one of the longest standing in New Zealand and is always well-attended, Mr Sauer said.

“It’s quite a popular rodeo because it’s at the start of the season.”

This year they have about 330

entries and have had to extend the yards because of the large numbers.

Profits raised will be going towards Methven Care Trust’s proposed aged-care facility.

Coastal wells at record lows From P1 McFarlane Rural Business consultant Andy McFarlane said evapotranspiration (ET) rates were “huge” with his recordings showing 5.5mm lost each day this week.

“That’s not necessarily unusual for Canterbury but is unusual for this time of year.

The conclusion would be that ET rates are more typical of December rates and means we are drying out quicker.”

Mr McFarlane was not surprised at the low level of groundwater as there had only been two significant drainage events in the past 18 months.

Coupled with the fact that irrigation systems were more efficient than in the past with less water wastage it meant there had not been the recharge required to top up levels.

Although crops look “alright” currently, Mr McFarlane said if the dry continued, the December-January period could be

when they suffer. “But at the moment if you keep the water up to them they are looking good … What it does underpin is that having a good sound rotation with a balance of crops really pays off in a year like this.”

Farm consultant Ross Polson said at this stage higher efficiency irrigated farms were “holding” well but those with lower efficiency systems may be “struggling”.

Farms he had visited were coping well but those with groundwater wells nearer the coast were “uncertain”.

IrrigationNZ CEO Andrew Curtis advised farmers earlier this week to plan how they were going to use their irrigation volumes because the dry El Nino conditions could mean many farmers will run short of water half way through this season.

“Inefficient irrigation now will have a huge impact on whether your irrigation volume will see you through to March.”

“I think Methven will get behind it.”

■ RANGITATA DIVERSION RACE

In brief

Fish fence failing to deliver

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A bio-acoustic fish fence installed in the Rangitata Diversion Race in 2007 is not delivering consistent results. The fence, which creates a curtain of bubbles and noise intended to divert young salmon out of the RDR irrigation canal and back into the Rangitata River, has been fraught with problems from its installation.

Shortly after it was commissioned experts from the British company who developed the technology were called back to reposition the fence in an effort to improve diversion rates.

Central South Island Fish & Game officers have conducted more than 20 surveys at the Klondyke installation which have returned highly variable results, with success rates ranging between 4 and 80 per cent.

“We’ve got no idea why that is,” Fish & Game officer Mark Webb said.

Hatchery hatchlings are released into the river to get the numbers of fish necessary to conduct the testing.

Rangitata Diversion Race Management chief executive Ben Curry explains the workings of the bio-acoustic fish fence.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 211015-AK-136

“Across those experiments we are using consistent times of the day and consistent release sites,” Mr Webb said.

“We are looking at river conditions but there doesn’t seem to be much difference between successful and unsuccessful diversion efficiency regarding wa-

ter clarity.” The size of the fish is the only variable which has been proved to make a difference.

Diversion is more successful with fish over 70mm, but the hatchlings are only 30mm when the first wave come down the river on their journey to the sea.

“Because the RDR has fast

flowing water, when the small fish first come in contact with the acoustic fence they don’t have enough time before they get washed through, Mr Webb said.

“They don’t have the swimming power which allows them to get across and get out the bypass.

“Two of the experiments we got better than 80 per cent diversion but there was nothing about those trials which was different, so there was nothing we could identify as the defining feature.”

The technology initially came with a $600,000 price tag but eight years later it has blown out to about $1.3 million, Rangitata Diversion Race Management chief executive Ben Curry said.

Running the fence costs RDRM about $30,000 in electricity annually.

Mr Curry said the company was now looking at adding lights and shading to increase its efficiency.

Fish & Game officers planned to meet with RDRM staff to discuss where to from here, Mr Webb said.

Police close gun purchase loophole

By Kurt Bayer Police have closed a legal loophole allowing unlicensed people to easily buy guns online.

The move comes after a criminal investigation was launched on Wednesday after a TV3 journalist bought a gun online to expose the issue. But an expert said criminals and gangs were unlikely to have exploited the loophole anyway.

A police review was launched in January into firearms licensing that was already looking at tightening up online or mailorder firearms buying rules, police said.

But yesterday, police announced new rules, which would come into force immediately.

Would-be buyers now have to physically take their purchase order into a police station, and

present their firearms licence to a police arms officer.

“Once police are satisfied, the form will then be passed to the dealer by police following verification,” police said in a a statement.

“This will negate any need for dealers to cross check details _ though police will be continuing to audit dealers on a regular basis to make sure the system is working appropriately.” - NZME

Members of the Royal New Zealand Navy are making their way to Canterbury to assist with the search for a fishing vessel which sank near the Rakaia River mouth on Sunday.

The FV Jubilee, which had three crew members on board, made a distress call at 4.30am on Sunday and a SAR mission commenced at 6.30am.

The Royal New Zealand Navy’s diving support vessel HMNZS Manawanui departed the Devonport Naval Base on Wednesday.

It has crossed the Bay of Plenty and will be making its way down the East Coast of the North Island before arriving in Canterbury on Saturday afternoon – if weather does not delay their progress.

Police inspector Craig McKay said that the Canterbury SAR team and other agencies have made considerable progress in planning for the recovery phase this week despite mechanical problems.

“Everyone involved in the operation is disappointed that the mechanical problem and subsequent weather conditions have prevented the deployment of the SAR team and NZ Police Dive Squad to identify the item of interest located near the last known point of the FV Jubilee.”

A Canterbury police investigation is continuing and the Transport Accident Investigation Commission is also making inquiries into the sinking.

Woman collapses An Ashburton woman, aged in her 70s, was taken to Ashburton Hospital after collapsing at the EA Networks Centre at 11.02am on Wednesday. She was transported

by St John ambulance in a moderate condition.

Crash victim named A woman who died in a headon collision in the Manawatu Gorge on Wednesday has been named by police. Mavis Anna McLean, 78, of Woodville, died after being rushed to hospital with serious injuries following the crash on Wednesday afternoon, police said. The two-vehicle crash happened at the Woodville end of the Manawatu Gorge around 12.50pm. Two people were taken to Palmerston North Hospital with serious injuries. Ms McLean later died of her injuries, police said. An investigation into the crash was ongoing, police said. Ms McLean’s death has been referred to the coroner.

■ MID CANTERBURY DAIRY STOCK

Cow cull up 27 per cent

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s cull cow kill is up by more than 25 per cent on the back of a low milk payout forecast.

Statistics released by Beef+Lamb’s economic service estimated this year’s dairy cow slaughter has increased by 27 per cent resulting in the first decrease in the national dairy herd numbers in 24 years.

The increase equates to 253,000 more cattle killed than

last year. The higher kill numbers reflect two years of sliding milk prices due to a global stockpile of milk products impacting on export demand.

Farmers endeavouring to cut on-farm costs have trucked barren and low producing animals off to meat processing plants.

This lessens on-farm costs and provides a much needed cash injection for farmers struggling to make ends meet in the face of a farmgate payout of $4.65 per kilogram of milksolids

this season. The trend coincides with record beef prices this year.

In 2013, when the farmgate payout peaked around $8.65kg/ ms, Mid Canterbury was home to 288,000 dairy cattle. This season that number has declined by 77,760 head.

Heifers which would normally have been carried over as herd replacements have met the same fate with 46,000 more animals culled from the national herd this year, Beef+Lamb economist Rob Davidson said.

Just under 100,000 head (39 per cent) of the dairy cull occurred in September including a larger number of pregnant cows late in delivering their offspring.

This has been influenced by the banning of routine inductions last year, when the practice of forcing cows into labour to fit mating cycles was removed from the farmers’ toolbox.

The final statistics for the meat export year ending September 30 have not been released.

Ashburton’s Sarah Gluyas notched up yet another achievement over the weekend, taking out the National Young Performer of the Year Awards in the highland dancing category.

The 21-year-old travelled to Palmerston North for the three-day event, competing in three rounds.

The preliminary round was split over three days and saw 14 dancers compete.

Six then went ahead into the semi-finals; with the top three taking it all the way to the final.

Miss Gluyas said she had hoped the weekend would be a success, as last year she managed to take home second place.

Presented with $5000 for her efforts, Miss Gluyas thinks she might use the money for a trip next year, but nothing has been confirmed.

Not only that but she also took home the Audience Choice Award during the semi-finals which saw her win $100.

Miss Gluyas said she danced on behalf of Piping and Dancing New Zealand but said she has had “wonderful support” from the local community, as well as the local dance school.

Now, Miss Gluyas is taking a break to focus on her exam studies in Dunedin where she studies nutrition at Otago University.

However, she can’t rest for too long as she will be performing in the annual Julie Hawke School of Dance Christmas Concert.

Asbestos in hospital Asbestos has been found at Dunedin Hospital after a routine check. The checks found a number of areas with positive surface swab results, however air testing came back negative, the Southern District Health Board said yesterday. “The wellbeing and safety of staff, patients and visitors at Dunedin Hospital is a priority,” Southern DHB commissioner Kathy Grant said. A technical advisory team has been advising the DHB. Its risk assessment found the current level of risk from asbestos is “negligible to low” for patients, and staff.

Whitebait festival

■ BLOOD THINNING MEDICATION

Laboratory tests still free of charges By caitliN Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Cantabrians on blood thinning medication need not worry about copping unwanted fees, says the Canterbury District Health Board.

This follows on from Hutt Valley District Health Board patients on Warfarin having their subsidies cut and funding that informed GPs when patients missed blood

tests being discontinued.

Within Mid Canterbury there are 340 patients on Warfarin, and 5700 in the wider Canterbury area.

Warfarin is taken by patients with a range of heart conditions to help prevent blood clots and thrombosis.

However, Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) general manager of planning and fund-

ing, Carolyn Gullery is urging Mid Canterbury patients not to worry.

In Canterbury, laboratory tests, required by GPs, are free of charge for all patients eligible for publicly-funded health services and that is the way it will stay, Ms Gullery said.

Patients on Warfarin require regular blood testing to avoid harm for either under or over-

treatment, she said.

Typical care for patients on Warfarin includes GP scheduled blood tests, monitoring test results and advising patients of the test result and correct medication dosage.

Some patients are also registered with a pharmacy that provides point of care Warfarin monitoring, but there is no fee for this.

Preparations for Westport’s first Whitebait Festival today are full steam ahead. Westport Retailers Association co-ordinator Rachelle Hicks said over 50 stalls were registered, a second whitebait stall had been secured, and there would be “heaps of stuff for the kids to do”. Some of the local restaurants would also be serving up whitebait. She said the event would go ahead “rain or shine” and that if it was raining, people should “bring an umbrella”, however most of the stalls were under cover. Mrs Hicks said she was overwhelmed by the support the event had received in terms of sponsorship.

■ ASHBURTON’S CHANGING FACE

As one building goes up . . .

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

The old blue St Vincent de Paul building is well and truly gone.

The St Vincent de Paul society bade farewell to its old premises in July, heading off to a temporary base at the Ashburton Learning Centre.

The building, located in the Triangle was set to be demolished in August but all demolition work ground to a halt following issues with a neighbouring property.

Project manager Ray Knight said those issues had since been resolved and all work was back on track.

Under review because of its old age, the wall has now been underpinned and reflashed.

Nine boundary panels have been erected on site and Mr Knight said he expects the remaining panels to be on site late

next week. “We have no issues at this stage, things are progressing along satisfactorily,” he said. “It’s ticking along no problem.”

Following the completed installation of the panels the concrete floor will be poured and the roof fitted and closed in.

The last stage will be erecting the veranda on the outside of the building.

The shop will continue to operate from the learning centre premises, near the Holy Name Church on Sealy Street until the new single storey building is completed in the Triangle.

The tentative date for this is early 2016.

Demolition under way on the site of Ashburton’s new Countdown supermarket.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 191015-TM-014

The start of construction might be several months away, but demolition work has already started on the site of what will be Ashburton’s newest and largest supermarket.

Buildings on the South Street site were previously occupied by Rural Transport and late last year Progressive Enterprises released details of its proposal to build a new Countdown supermarket on that site.

The supermarket will carry a $20 million price tag and is anticipated to create 120 new jobs.

The South Street site was made up of several lots owned by the Ashburton District Council and River Crossing Ltd. River Crossing purchased the council’s sections and as part of the new subdivision, the Rural Tranport buildings are being demolished.

discussions with Progressive and believed building consents for the project would be lodged in three stages – floor construction, structure and fit-out.

“This helps speed up the process. They can get the design for the ground work done and in and we can get it out and they can start, hopefully, before Christmas on that first stage,” Mr Wong said.

A resource consent was granted for the complex and land designation hurdles cleared earlier this year.

Those consents will see traffic lights installed at the intersection of East and South streets and street widening work undertaken to accommodate traffic turning left from East Street into South Street.

This will see several mature ash trees removed, as part of the East Street Green is needed for the road widening project.

Progressive has bought a 1.2 hectare block bounded by East and South streets for its new supermarket. River Crossing has retained some land to the east of the new supermarket.

Progressive Enterprises would release few details around its plans for the new site, but general manager of property Adrian Walker said work on plans was progressing satisfactorily.

“We are still in the early days of this development and we are unable to give any further detail on timeframes,” he said.

Earlier Progress Enterprises had indicated it would continue to operate the existing and the new Countdown supermarkets in tandem. Mr Walker confirmed this, saying there were no plans to close the existing supermarket.

And this weekend, those good old boys will be celebrating 25 years of friendship with a party and a ride.

Group members come from diverse backgrounds, but they’re drawn together by their love of motorbikes and riding.

Club president and original member Baldy Roulston said that while the friendship hasn’t changed over those years, the average age of members has and so have the bikes they ride.

On Saturday, club members will celebrate the group’s 25th birthday with a ride to Terrace Downs, but before they head out at 12.30pm they’re keen for people to call in at their Alford Forest Road headquarters to check out their bikes and to listen to the roar as they mount up and ride out of town.

Job info on speed dial a winning formula Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

S

peed dating might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but its quick-fire programme could be successfully applied to a range of other information-gathering exercises.

One of those could be providing secondary school students with maximum exposure to career information in a minimum amount of time. Careers on speed is a proposal that’s being floated in Ashburton and it’s one that has huge merit.

Ask most Year 11 to 13 students what they plan to do post school and most will be pretty vague.

They might have ideas, but few will have settled on a career path.

And most often that has nothing to do with a lack of ambition or drive, rather it arises from a genuine lack of knowledge about what’s out there and the training or qualifications that are needed.

For most kids, deciding what they want to do when they leave school is as much about chance and opportunity as it is about desire. There’s a world of choice out there, but if they don’t know about it, they can’t do it.

And that’s where career speed dating comes in.

Imagine a room where 50 employers set up tables, where their industry was fronted by the best and brightest on their staff. Imagine that room filled with groups of students, circulating in groups, being provided with a brief outline of a career and the steps that needed to be taken to move from classroom to payroll.

If those students were able to collect information about each job, for some uncertainty about their future could be dispelled.

So many students drift off to university simply because they don’t know what they want to do, others go into gap-filler jobs until something better comes along.

How much more focused would those students be if they had a clear idea of what they wanted to do and what it would take to get there.

That knowledge would help them with subject choices and it could open up opportunities to step into a workplace to find out what it is like at grass roots.

And, of course, for an employer the big upside would be the potential to gain staff.

Today’s online poll question Q: Will you check out the action at the Methven Rodeo this weekend?

W

e touched down in the land of the Delta Blues on Saturday afternoon and checked into our motel just a few kilometres away from Graceland.

It was good to be back in Memphis, although the motel and area we were staying in had gone downhill somewhat since I had stayed there three years prior.

There’s only one thing to do when you arrive in Memphis on a Saturday afternoon, head straight to Beale Street!

Beale Street is two blocks of pedestrian-only awesomeness for music lovers like Amanda and I. The first block had 12 live bands playing!

After a quick recon mission the length of the two blocks, we found ourselves quite dehydrated. This is not an issue when you’re on Beale Street.

We tucked into two Big Ass Beale Beers and settled back to listen to some of the best live blues I’ve ever heard.

One four-piece band stood out, three big African Americans and a skinny white fella on lead guitar. They were unreal. The singer was a stunning harmonica player as well.

We spent an hour watching them and correcting our hydration levels before another wander up the street again.

Things were heating up as the night drew in, we found a very cool street artist who created the most amazing paintings using spray cans and around 50 people doing a choreographed dance routine in the middle of the street outside one of the bars.

Four rather cut-looking young men were tumbling and back flipping their way down the middle of Beale Street as we were leaving around midnight, which was an excellent way to conclude our evening. We had to be home at a reasonable hour as we had to go to church in the morning. Yes church.

Sunday morning we went to Al Green’s Full Gospel Tabernacle Church service. We were lucky enough to have Al up the front doing his thing again, although he is not doing much touring these days, so is preaching more often than not.

For two hours we had chills up our spines!

When Al transitions from preaching straight into song it is something else. He still has the most wonderful voice, I guess you don’t win eight Grammys for no reason huh? His gospel choir and full band instinctively know exactly when to chime in even if it’s just a couple of notes to emphasise a point he is making.

It was just a magical experience and he made all the tourists feel very welcome.

We got a taxi to the church, but had nothing lined up for the trip to Graceland afterwards, so we decided to start walking. About a kilometre into the trek, two lovely older ladies stopped and offered us a ride. They were regulars at the church and couldn’t wait to tell Al they had given a couple from New Zealand a ride to Graceland after church the following week.

Like Alcatraz, I was a bit worried about my second visit to Graceland, but once again

I needn’t have bothered. They have added iPads to the tour of Elvis’ place now, as well as the audio tour. Just like Alcatraz I took so much more in on this trip and took fewer photos. A moment that has stuck with us from the tour was drinking out of the fountain just outside his racquetball court, which is now a display area for some of his gold records and jumpsuits. We are picking he had a drink out of that fountain just hours before he passed away.

We both left the tour appreciating not only how incredibly talented the guy was, but how incredibly generous he was also.

Fans of Elvis and in fact all music fans, add it to your bucket list. You won’t regret it.

Next week, Memphis (part two), including a Bryan Adams concert, Lorraine Motel and Sun Studio.

Till then, thank you, thank you very much.

■ SYRIA

Massive increase in attacks A major increase in violence by the Islamic State group saw over 1000 attacks and nearly 3000 deaths worldwide in the past three months, analysis company IHS Jane’s says.

The figures show a 42 per cent jump in daily attacks by the jihadist group, averaging 11.8 per day from July to September, up from 8.3 per day between April and June.

The figures suggest that air strikes by the US-led coalition have had only a limited impact on the group.

The London-based analysis group recorded 1086 IS attacks, causing a total of 2978 civilian and government fatalities - a huge 65.3 per cent increase in the average daily killings by the group compared with the previous three months, and an 81 per cent jump on one year earlier.

IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre uses open sources to compile their database, and said IS likely carried out far more attacks that could not be verified.

“While the airstrikes and wider coalition efforts have put the group under significant pressure, it is seemingly still some way from being sufficiently weakened to allow the recapture of territory, let alone be defeated,” Matthew Henman, head of the Terrorism and Insurgency Centre, told AFP. Increased involvement in Syria in recent weeks is likely to further strengthen IS, since there was a “clear indication” that Moscow is

Beauty queen dies Former Miss Austria Ena Kadic died yesterday from injuries sustained during a mountain fall while jogging in her home state of Tyrol, police said. The 26-year-old had been in a critical condition after plunging off the side of the Bergisel mountain near the city of Innsbruck on Friday. Two students discovered the severely injured woman near the Drachenfelsen (Dragon rock) panorama platform overlooking the steep ravine of the Sill river.

Marijuana use doubles Nearly one in 10 adults smokes marijuana in the US, a rate that has more than doubled in the past decade as laws and attitudes about pot relax, researchers said.

However, experts warned that the rise in marijuana use has also been accompanied by an increase in abuse and dependence. “Based on the results of our surveys, marijuana use in the United States has risen rapidly over the past decade, with about three in 10 people who use marijuana meeting the criteria for addiction,” said George Koob, director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.- AFP

Pokies ‘addictive’ Members of the Shiite group Asaib Ahl al-Haq, or “League of the Righteous,” carry the coffins of seven of their colleagues who were killed while supporting Iraqi security forces battling Islamic State group in Beiji.

PHOTO AP more interested in defending the Syrian regime than defeating IS. “Already over the past week the Islamic State has made gains in areas of Aleppo governorate due to the targeting of rival opposition groups and this is likely to continue,” said Henman.

“Civilian deaths in Russian airstrikes also give the Islamic State a powerful propaganda tool.”

The figures reflect the inclusion of Nigeria’s brutal Boko Haram militant group, which declared allegiance to IS in March.

Renamed Wilayat Gharb Afriqiyah, the group’s attacks were the deadliest of any IS affiliate.

The new figures also reflect changes in the type of combat over the summer in Iraq and Syria, which still account for the

vast majority of IS activity.

After capturing some key areas the group focused on defending them from government forces and rival insurgent groups.

This meant an increase in “frequent, low-level, close-quarters engagements”, rather than the previous focus on mass-casualty attacks used to seize territory.

Pokies are designed to be as addictive as cocaine while suckering vulnerable Australians out of their money, lawyers say. Maurice Blackburn Lawyers are targeting casinos, machine designers and pubs and clubs over the poker machines they say are designed to get people addicted. Speaking at the launch of an Australian national gambling action alliance, lawyer Jacob Varghese said machines that disguised losses as wins or told players they’d had “near misses” were engaging in deceptive behaviour.

Biden ‘won’t be running’

‘Supersmeller’ Joy can sniff out disease

Vice President Joe Biden said he won’t be a candidate in the 2016 White House campaign, solidifying Hillary Rodham Clinton’s status as the Democratic front-runner and the party’s likely heir to President Barack Obama’s legacy.

Standing under bright sun in the White House Rose Garden, Biden yesterday “after months of tortured indecision” spoke movingly about mourning the recent death of his son, Beau, a process he said does not match the political calendar. While he said his family was emotionally prepared to undertake a gruelling presidential campaign, they arrived at that decision too late for him to mount a credible bid for a job that has long been the north star of his political ambitions.

Scientists have begun research into whether a person’s odour can be used to diagnose Parkinson’s after a “supersmeller” detected the disease by sniffing T-shirts.

Researchers from the University of Manchester will analyse skin swabs taken to discover if the debilitating disease changes chemicals found in the skin, according to Parkinson’s UK. The study was launched after a Scottish woman, named in reports as Joy Milne, successfully identified sufferers by smelling T-shirts they had slept in.

She could even detect subtle changes in smell in people who had not yet developed the condition.

Parkinson’s, a disease of the central nervous system, causes progressive tremors, stiffness and slowness of movement. Currently there is no cure.

Sufferers include comedian Billy Connolly, who was diagnosed in 2012.

Mrs Milne’s husband Les died in June after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, according to the BBC. She told the broadcaster: “His

Comedian Billy Connolly suffers from Parkinson’s. smell changed and it seemed difficult to describe.

“It wasn’t all of a sudden. It was very subtle - a musky smell.”

Parkinson’s UK, which is funding the research, hope to find a link which could lead to earlier diagnosis. The charity estimates there are around 127,000 people with the disease in the UK. Arthur Roach, director of research at the charity, said: “Funding pioneering studies like this has the potential to throw Parkinson’s into a completely new light.

“It would make it a lot easier to identify people to test drugs that may have the potential to slow, or even stop Parkinson’s, something no current drug can achieve.” - PA

Ex-union boss, now MP, denies payments Former Australian Workers’ Union boss Cesar Melhem has rejected suggestions his union sent bogus invoices to a major road project, telling an inquiry payments of $100,000 a year were for services provided.

Mr Melhem, now a Victorian

Labor MP, is making a bristling appearance before the trade unions royal commission in Sydney as he faces questions about deals he made as head of the Victorian branch of the AWU. The royal commission has been investigating an arrange-

ment under which the AWU received $100,000 a year for three years from Thiess John Holland.

Invoices presented show the AWU billed Thiess John Holland, a joint venture that built Melbourne’s EastLink motorway, for advertising in the union maga-

zine, research into back strain, training, tickets to the union ball and other services.

An inspection of issues of the magazine from 2005 to 2007 found there were no ads that corresponded to the invoices, Jeremy Stoljar SC said.

Hunter exposed A leading animal rights group has named the man believed to be the German hunter who paid US$60,000 to shoot one of the largest elephants ever seen in Zimbabwe. Rainer Schorr, a property mogul from Berlin, was named by three separate sources after Germany’s branch of Peta, the animal rights organisation, offered a 1000 ($1680) reward to anyone who could identify the hunter. The hunter was photographed posing with the animal’s body, believed to be the biggest elephant killed in Africa in 30 years.

Pay rise at airport

‘Putting smiles in aisles’

Baden Ngan Kee availability had changed, with Mandarin-speaking staff always on the floor during this time and the in-store butcher staying later in case customers wanted particular cuts of meat.

The seafood section also had fish available much later in the day.

“Sales of specific items, for ex-

ample fish are changing - we’re selling whole fish now as opposed to just fillets so catering for certain markets,” Ngan Kee said.

“The feedback we’re getting from our surveys is that consumers are happy, they feel they’re in a comfortable, familiar environment, particularly if English is not their first language and we’re working hard at creating that environment.”

Pak’nSave had been aggressive in its pricing of rice and other staple products for the Asian and Indian community, and were offering bulk bags such as 25kg bags of rice.

Cultural festivals were noted so stores could stock up on particular items likely to be popular.

“We know from our surveys that many of these ethnic groups buying from our stores also buy from other outlets so there are other food stuffs that haven’t been purchased in our outlets and the question is why,” Ngan Kee said.

Trade Minister Tim Groser is on his way to Brussels for talks next week with counterpart Cecilia Malmstrom but will be attending to Trans-Pacific Partnership business in Asia en route - business that could lead to others joining what he calls “the TPP bus”. He has scheduled meetings with the Asean giant Indonesia and in Hong Kong. Groser expects the Trans-Pacific Partnership to be top of the agenda in both meetings.

As Groser put it, four of Indonesia’s partners in the 10-member Asean are already part of TPP (Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam), while Thailand and the Philippines have talked about joining. - NZME

announced at its AGM a cut to its earnings forecasts.

Management blamed increased churn following the World Cup and increased competition from the sector’s online offerings. It is also expecting an increase in capital expenditure as the company continues to increase its online offering and subscription packages. Following the meeting the share price dropped more than 10 per cent.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) released minutes from its last meeting during the week and revealed that it is in no rush to cut rates.

Speculation has been rife that the central bank would be looking to cut rates sooner rather than later and the release of the minutes this week seems to have put rumours to bed.

The commentary states that the ultra-low official interest rates and the low Australian dollar are helping to support the economy as it continues to adjust to the end of the resources boom.

The RBA recognises that the outlook for its largest trading partner China continues to be fraught with issues but there are signs that the economy is rebalancing.

the week so far has been China’s September quarter GDP data.

Expectations were for growth of 6.8 per cent, the first time growth in the world’s second largest economy has slipped below 7.0 per cent since 2009.

The figure came in at 6.9 per cent, however, as is often the case with data from China, this has been viewed sceptically by the market with most believing that the real figure is likely to be much lower than this.

According to the Chinese statistics bureau the result was driven by a strengthening services sector which is compensating for weakness in manufacturing and property.

There is now further talk that China will be forced to implement further stimulus measures so that growth figures don’t deviate too far from targeted rates.

This week the US reporting season has reached its peak, with 110 of the S&P 500 due to release quarterly results.

This has included some market heavyweights including IBM, Yahoo, United Technologies, Coca-cola and Alphabet.

Next week is set to be another busy week for the reporting calendar and we will be looking forward to results from Statoil, GlaxoSmithKline and Republic Services.

Prices still below required level he Global Dairy Trade auction this week fell for the first time in five auctions.

Expectations were for another gain, albeit small, as analysts were predicting prices to take a breather after such a strong run.

Prices fell 3.1 per cent overall, with the key whole milk powder price dropping 4.6 per cent.

Before this auction prices had increased 63 per cent since August lows.

Whole milk powder prices, currently at US$2694 a tonne, are still below the level that Fonterra is allegedly looking for to maintain the current payout level of $4.60 per kilo of milksolids.

Volumes on offer were again lower at this auction, however this could change going forward given that New Zealand is heading into its peak production time.

Also on the local front, the latest migration figures have been released and again showed a record net migration figure for the year to 30 September. The rise was driven by foreign students, namely from India and China, and Kiwi’s returning from, and not going to, Australia. Net Migrants for the year was 61,200 and this is the 14 consecutive month of a record.

Retailer Foodstuffs Group is already seeing results from changing the way it operates to cater for the growing ethnic diversity of its customers, says general manager Baden Ngan Kee. Foodstuffs operates 360 supermarkets across New Zealand through its Pak’nSave, New World and Four Square brands.

“I think it’s something we’re becoming increasingly aware of and we’re only at an early stage of understanding this diversity,” Ngan Kee said.

“We’re working on key trial stores before we have a full solution, so it is still in the early stages, but we’re encouraged by the results we’re seeing.”

The trials include the types and availability of products, and rostering of staff to help customers from different cultural backgrounds.

Pak’nSave Albany merchandise manager Yew Hsin Cheng said

the store was always looking to grow its customer base, but had not expected such an explosion in Asian customer numbers.

Ngan Kee said the store was planning to expand its international section.

“The two areas we are really looking at are individual stores and catchments where there are concentrations of ethnicities and also across all our stores we have our international section,” he said.

“It’s great not just for ethnicities because of the diversity of food and fusion and so forth, but for everyone - we all eat things like kimchi or soy sauce so we’re looking at how we can make that broader in its range - more appealing and more authentic.”

Customer surveys and observations at the Albany branch had revealed several key points.

In the evenings, 90 per cent of shoppers were Asian - linked to a cultural habit of shopping later.

Staffing rosters and product

Auckland Airport has rewarded its workers with a $1200 bonus and given its chief executive a pay rise of nearly 30 per cent.

Chief executive Adrian Littlewood has had his pay boosted to more than $2.2 million, Littlewood’s remuneration last year was between $1.69 million and $1.7 million, according to figures in annual reports. The company’s chairman Sir Henry van der Heyden said executives were paid according to whether they had met performance targets.

In brief Lolohea, Hiku to start The Kiwis halves combination in England will consist of an international rookie, and a player who has spent almost his entire NRL career at the other end of the backline.

It had been signposted for a while but yesterday was confirmed. Tui Lolohea and Peta Hiku will wear the No 6 and 7 jerseys against Leeds on Saturday (8am NZT), and most likely for the rest of the Kiwis tour.

Expectations are high, and Lolohea and Hiku, as playmakers, will have to deliver. However, the Kiwis lack a kicking game, with Lolohea the only long range kicker.

Parker boxing in Samoa Joseph Parker’s January 23 bout in Samoa will help restore the once proud boxing nation to its former glory, the country’s prime minister Tuilaepa Aiono Sailele Malielegaoi believes. “Boxing is a very popular sport in Samoa,” he said at a press conference confirming the world title contender would fight in his parents’ homeland. Up until the 1980s, Samoan fighters dominated the medal count at the Pacific Games.

Sadly, that heyday has passed. - NZME

Good spirit expected Les Leath reflects on his boxing career with Ashburton Guardian sports reporter James Ford.

■ BOXING

Wonderful record in the ring

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

With most modern day fighters taking to the ring just twice a year, Les Leath’s boxing record of 137 wins in 151 bouts from a career spanning less than half a decade is astonishing.

Leath’s success was down to tenacity and skill, but more importantly, a dedication to a craft that is widely considered the hardest game of them all.

Leath began his journeyed career as a student at Ashburton High School, where he outfought his two opponents to win the Jamieson Cup, before attending Compulsory Military Training as an 18-year-old.

During his 16 weeks of CMT, Leath fought eight times, winning all but one, and then took up an apprenticeship at Bradford Building.

Upon leaving the army, Leath upped the intensity of his training and embarked on a four-anda-half year journey that saw him fight almost twice a week.

After cycling from Dromore to Ashburton and back for work, Leath would then jog in to town to train before running home.

“I used to bike in and then bike home, have a snack, run in to town, do an hour’s training,” he said.

“It was where Countdown is now, they had the punch bags above the barber shop.

“I did that five days a week, running 14 miles a day, then I’d run over the weekend.”

Shortly before the New Zealand Championships in Greymouth in 1957, where Leath was scheduled to fight Christchurch’s

Maurice Purton, disaster struck when the then 21-year-old was hospitalised with appendicitis.

“We were leaving on the Saturday, but on Friday night, I was in hospital with a busted appendix,” said Leath.

“I had the operation and the doctor, Ron Baker, came in, he said ‘this will put you out of action for a while,’ I said ‘No, I’ll be back training in a fortnight.’”

True to his word, Leath went about regaining his fitness with the help of his then fiancé, now

In Les’s absence, Maurice Purton won the National Championships and was selected to represent New Zealand at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales.

After returning to full fitness, Leath set about organising a bout with a reluctant Purton, who refused to fight in Christchurch and Ashburton.

“It was quite comical.

“When I came out, I wanted to fight him in Christchurch, his home town, and I knew I’d beat

wife, Anne, who snuck a skipping rope in for Les to train.

“At night time I’d go up and down the big corridor at the hospital, then one day I was doing it during the day, and he (Dr Baker) caught me,” he said.

“He said ‘you astound me’ and within a few days I was jogging and within a week I was back in to the gym.”

him but he wouldn’t fight me,” he said.

“So our club president rang the New Zealand Boxing Council, and they made him fight because he was going to the Games and needed fights, but he knew I was after him.”

Leath eventually got his man, and dominated the four round bout before a packed hall, but

to the shock of both men in the ring, and the crowd, Purton was awarded a points decision win.

“He spent more time in-between the ropes than in the ring, I pummelled him,” he said.

“His mother was sitting next to my mother, she just turned around with tears in her eyes and said ‘we’re beaten’ but I didn’t get the decision.”

The following day when Leath returned to the hall to help remove the equipment, the spectators’ frustration with the decision was evident.

“In those days we had big crowds, we went back and cleaned the hall up on the Sunday and there was about 400 membership tickets ripped up because they were disgusted,” said Leath.

The shock decision was described in the Monday edition of the Ashburton Guardian.

“The Judges were almost alone in their thoughts that he had not won the bout.”

Purton was beaten in his opening fight of the Games by Welshman Malcolm Collins, and Leath was given a vote of confidence by a New Zealand coach when the team returned from the northern hemisphere.

“I spoke to a New Zealand trainer when he got back, he said ‘you should have been there, that joker he was fighting would have suited you.’”

Leath stopped fighting at the tender age of 22, after a career of more than 150 fights and never having been put on the canvas.

“I got married and had a family, I never had the time, and I just couldn’t sacrifice my family,” he said.

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum expects good spirit to prevail over spiteful sledging in next month’s Test series against rookie skipper Steve Smith’s newlook Australian team. The Kiwi skipper seems to have become something of a poster boy for good sportsmanship in the game and last month collected a spirit of cricket award for his leadership on New Zealand’s tour to England.

His stance on on-field spite hasn’t always been matched by an Australian team brought up on what Steve Waugh called mental disintegration.

Loosies key in semi clashes

By Wynne Gray Backrow balance will be one of the trigger points for the All Blacks, Springboks, Wallabies and Pumas this weekend as they launch into their search for a place in the 2015 World Cup showdown.

Kieran Read, Richie McCaw and Jerome Kaino.

That’s a combined total of 293 test caps between these All Blacks who were at the core of the side’s triumph in the 2011 final.

There’s the incomparable pedigree of McCaw who has changed his game down the years to deal with lawmakers and rivals, and at the same time led his side into more than 100 combats.

He’s been there done everything but McCaw has never let complacency seep into his work.

He will treat this test with the same concentrated purpose he brings to every contest.

Read’s form has wavered this year and there have not been the same sure handling and damaging runs we saw several seasons ago. Maybe he’s under instructions to work harder on the inside and let others break free or else he’s biding his time.

Any doubts about the punishment Kaino can deliver, were dispelled when he flexed his power against France. He’s the least capped of the trio but his hammer defence and strong running lines make him the equal in every other department.

Duane Vermeulen, Francois Louw, Schalk Burger.

These guys are in the contact business.

Loads off it and then some as they look to damage their opponents.

They might appear to be solely

Richie McCaw: Has an imcomparate rugby pedigree. looking for wrecking ball chances but they also have offloading skills which create havoc when they use them.

Vermeulen’s deft backhand flick to his captain Fourie du Preez clinched the Boks’ last win against Wales while his control and ability to absorb punishment at the back of a reversing Bok scrum is very valuable.

Louw plays for Bath where his crossover work between open and blindside flanker has made him a favourite.

He carries the Pickard christian name after his legendary Springbok grandfather Jan Pickard, is strong over the ball, is a rugged defender and carries powerfully but has not been in a winning side after nine tests against the All Blacks.

PHOTO AP

Burger’s reincarnation is stupefying. He needed neck surgery in 2006 and a year later was part of the Boks World Cup winning side. He was part of the 2011 World Cup group but two years later after surgery on a cyst near his spinal cord, he contracted bacterial meningitis and there were fears he would not survive.

Last weekend he made an amazing 26 carries against Wales while his work on defence never stopped. Burger’s influence with the Boks matches McCaw for the All Blacks.

David Pocock, Michael Hooper, Scott Fardy.

When Michael Cheika started this trio against the All Blacks this year in Sydney, there was some scoffing this side of the Tasman.

What was he thinking play-

ing twin opensiders with Pocock out of position in the boot of the scrum?

That re-arrangement would not cut it against the more conventional All Black setup who were up with the best in the world.

When the scoreboard stopped and the All Blacks looked at a 2719 defeat and the impact the Wallaby trio had in that result, they knew they had problems.

The glue comes from Fardy who has been used as a mobile lock by the Brumbies but is best suited to blindside for the Wallabies, where his lineout work and defensive reads are the glue around the loose trio.

Leonardo Senatore, Pablo Matera, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe.

There is a shade of uncertainty about this group, nothing to do with the quality of their play but there are questions about their fitness.

Leguizamon is vastly experienced with a massive workrate which would be very handy against the Wallaby marauders and if he does not play, Senatore will play in the boot of the scrum.

He is also a workaholic loosie without perhaps the cutting edge of his cronies.

Lobbe carries great mana amongst his team and has been captain of the Pumas before Agustin Creevy took over that role. He was one of the stars of the Pumas start in the Rugby Championship and a player who generally fronts in crunch matches.

Matera is the baby of the group but he is also an assassin in his work after forging a path at the 2013 junior world championships and making his test debut at 19. Now he’s firmly in the big league.

Tander launches attack on Ingall

By Laine CLark Holden Racing Team (HRT) veteran Garth Tander has taken aim at Russell Ingall’s controversial Ford switch ahead of this weekend’s Gold Coast 600.

Silly season has arrived for V8 Supercars drivers, with Nissan’s James Moffat linked to Volvo for next season and Mercedes’ Will Davison expected to make a Holden return.

But it’s Ingall who raised eyebrows with his switch from HRT to dominant Ford outfit Prodrive Racing ahead of the year’s final enduro on the tourist strip.

There was speculation HRT were not impressed that Ingall had jumped ship before recovering driver James Courtney had received a medical clearance.

Ingall had filled in for the injured Courtney at the Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000 and again appeared to be on standby on the Gold Coast.

Garth Tander in high-speed action in his Holden V8.

Instead Ingall made the bold call to replace injured Ford star Chaz Mostert at Prodrive Racing on the glitter strip.

“I don’t think he is the type of guy you would like to go to war with - he looks like he swaps sides pretty quickly,” No.1 HRT driver Tander told AAP. “I think we all know what Rus-

sell is like. It is what it is.

“Now that James is back, it doesn’t really matter.”

Courtney has been cleared to make his long awaited return this weekend after breaking five ribs and puncturing his lung in a freak pitlane accident in August’s Sydney round.

“He’s been out for a little while

and been itching to get back,” Tander said of Courtney.

“It’s good to see him back. It’s good for the team.”

The driver merry go round is in full swing after Nissan confirmed yesterday they would release Moffat at season’s end, sparking speculation he will replace David Wall at Volvo next year.

Nissan cited lack of sponsorship for not being able to offer Moffat a drive next year.

Moffat achieved the Nissan team’s best results in his threeyear tenure - their sole race win at Winton 2013 and last year’s Bathurst 1000 second placing with Taz Douglas.

And former Bathurst champ Davison is expected to cut ties with Mercedes and next year link with Holden’s Tekno Autosports, backed by the same garage as dominant outfit Red Bull.

Tekno’s Shane van Gisbergen has already signed to drive a third Red Bull car in 2016.

‘I’m not burnt out’ Ivan Cleary has hit back at Phil Gould’s claims he was burnt out and needed a rest after he was sacked as Penrith’s NRL coach. Panthers supremo Gould made the claims as he unveiled former Brisbane mentor Anthony Griffin as the club’s new coach for the next three seasons. Gould said Cleary’s testing four years had burnt Cleary out.

But Cleary, who is holidaying in the Maldives following the shock announcement, refuted those suggestions.

“I am still a bit shocked and disappointed,” he said. “No, I’m not ready to throw it in.”

Burgess twins re-sign Any speculation George Burgess could join Jarryd Hayne in the NFL has been put to bed after the English prop re-signed with South Sydney yesterday until the end of the 2018 NRL season. Burgess joined his twin brother Tom in committing to the Rabbitohs for three more seasons. Both players were off contract at the end of next season, but the club has moved to shore up their long-term playing roster after a disappointing premiership defence this year. - AAP

Support for Hayne If the Seattle Seahawks had their way Jarryd Hayne would be suiting up for them in this week’s crucial clash with the San Francisco 49ers. Hayne also might have been playing a different position than punt returner or running back.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has given a rave review of the former Australian rugby league star and confirmed his team had big plans for Hayne. “We thought he could really be a highlighted player,” Carroll said. “We had a lot of thoughts about how we were going to use him.”

Third title in reach Lewis Hamilton will emulate his childhood hero Ayrton Senna and join a select group of multiple Formula One world champion drivers if he can outscore nearest rival Sebastian Vettel by nine points in Sunday’s United States Grand Prix. A third victory in four years at the Circuit of the Americas, with four-time champion German Vettel outside the top two finishers, would be enough for him to add a third title to those of 2008 and 2014.

Rossi clings to lead Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo bring their two-man battle for the MotoGP title to Malaysia’s tricky track this weekend for the penultimate race in a season streaking toward a nail-biting finish. The contest between the Yamaha teammates tightened at last weekend’s spectacular Australian GP, where Lorenzo shaved Rossi’s season points lead down to just 11. - AFP

Ford star confident Pressure? What pressure? Despite being so close to a maiden V8 Supercars championship title after having his hopes dashed so often, Mark Winterbottom’s belief in his team has him confident heading into this weekend’s Gold Coast 600.

Winterbottom says his secondplace finish behind Lowndes at the recent Bathurst 1000 - following victory in the Sandown 500 - was as good as a win.

Moody only change for ABs

By Patrick Mckendry Steve Hansen has the luxury of replacing injured prop Wyatt Crockett with an in-form Joe Moody for the All Blacks’ semi-final against South Africa at Twickenham on Sunday morning.

Moody put in a stunning performance when replacing Crockett after only 28 minutes of the 62-13 quarter-final thrashing of France at the Millennium Stadium.

Crockett, who had left the field with a groin injury, always looked a doubtful starter to play the Boks.

Moody, meanwhile, did his core set piece roles well, but it was his running and handling deep into the second half which really caught the eye, efforts which belied the long-haul travel from New Zealand he had undertaken earlier in the week when replacing Tony Woodcock.

Moody faces the biggest challenge of his career when coming up against a front row of Frans Malherbe, Bismarck du Plessis and Tendai ‘The Beast’ Mtawarira, but he and coach Hansen will be confident that he will again

game we can all be proud of.

“Though we’ve met South Africa many times over the years, we’ve only played three times at the Rugby World Cup and these cup finals matches are totally different. They have a live or die nature to them and both teams will be desperate to advance.

“We’re all very much looking forward to Saturday. It’s the fun part of the week where we get to express our skills, physicality and mental strength; all things we’ve been working really hard on this week.”

their base in Weybridge, south west London.

Rather than being excited about their last performance they appear to have taken on a ruthless air.

There is a sense now that they want to finish the job they started in earnest last weekend.

“We’ve had a great preparation so far this week,” Hansen said.

“We’ve put a full stop on last weekend’s performance and have been slowly building throughout the week to produce another

SEMI FINALS

2015

Top-dollar tickets Ticket prices for Sunday’s Rugby World Cup semi-final between the All Blacks and South Africa are reaching as high as $13,000 on a British website. On stubhub.co.uk, 234 tickets to the Twickenham clash are currently available. With the cheap seats starting at £210 ($482 NZD) for a single ticket, getting a seat at the game at the last minute is definitely not a cheap prospect. While most of the higher priced tickets are for sale around the £1000 ($2298.79 NZD) mark, one wishfulthinker is selling a ticket in the lower sideline area for £5750 ($13,216.39 NZD).

- NZME

Wet-weather semi-final The Springboks and All Blacks are set to go head-to-head in their Rugby World Cup semi-final in the pouring rain. London’s Met Office’s website shows a 70 per cent probability of rain at the local kick-off time of Saturday 5pm in England at Twickenham (Sunday morning NZ time).

Rain is expected throughout the morning, but is tipped to peak at kick-off time for the eagerlyawaited semi. The All Blacks have an impressive record in wet matches - they get enough of them in New Zealand - and there is a theory that their superior fitness will also become evident late in a sodden game.

Scruff and Co lead the way Tuesday Terrace Downs Fast 4s held centre stage again at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre.

Methven Movers took on ConAid, with Connor Brosnahan and Aidan Mitchell winning all three matches comfortably against Hamish Hood and Jarrad Hill.

On adjacent courts, Two Pistols played the Racqueteers, who this week were Dan Copland, and his partner Matt the Vet, who fought hard, but were unable to match the sustained power of Pete Kirwan and Pete Bryant who also achieved a 3-0 scoreline.

Scruff and Co had another good battle, this time working hard to beat NKT. Rhys Cromie played Greg Feutz, and they had many long rallies, but Cromie’s recent singles form proved too hot to handle, and he won 4-1 4-2.

Peter Leonard faced Koji Kawamata for the first time, and had to reach into the top drawer to counter the speed Rhys Cromie in action at the and topspin of Kawamata Fast 4s. PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN with some mighty serves, and deep powerful returns.

He kept ahead in both sets, and then combined with Cromie to also win the doubles in straight sets over NKT. After two weeks of the five-week round, Scruff and Co are tied for the lead with Two Pistols on the maximum of six points.

Entries are open for the second round which will commence in four weeks’ time, and it is hoped that at least two sections will compete for the generous prizes.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga shook off jet lag to defeat 37-year-old Tommy Haas 6-3 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 yesterday to reach the Austria Open second round and keep his World Tour Finals hopes alive.

French star Tsonga only arrived in Vienna on Wednesday night after losing the Shanghai Masters final against Novak Djokovic on Sunday.

He overcame 32 unforced errors, counter-balanced by 41 winners and five breaks of serve, to deny Haas, playing on a 466th ranking after coming back from a third Jo-Wilfried Tsonga shoulder surgery.

“During the match, I was really tired, especially during the second set. But Haas is not playing his best yet,” said Tsonga.

“It was good to win, but I need to recover for the next round.”

Tsonga is in the mix for one of two last places in the eight-man field at the World Tour Finals in London from November 15. - AFP

23/10 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You want to know how things work, but not quite as much as you want to know how people work. You’ll look seek understanding, search for motives and learn a lot.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Many people like you. If you are embarrassed by constant, doting attention, then you should keep 10 paces away from the one you suspect has a crush on you.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): While looking for fun, don’t expect to find it in leisure. All the excitement is bound up in a knotty problem. The best part will be working things out with others trying to solve this.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Though it would seem only fair the one who does the most work is also the one most rewarded when the work is done, unfortunately, it doesn’t always happen that way.

You’ll have to make it happen.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): This day will spike with excitement, and then fall into lulls of long, flat time.

It’s a roller coaster you’ll find enjoyable once you resign yourself to the ride.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When they don’t act right (and they won’t in some instances today), try to think of bad manners as a lack of knowledge and training, not a personal deficit.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): As many people try to get your attention your powers of focus will be challenged. Though it’s nice to be needed and popular, you could also feel harried by all the commotion. Take a breather when you need it.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): What you most want to do might be something you know is wrong. You’re not alone. Being good isn’t easy. The average person struggles to do the right thing on a daily basis.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You might not agree with or approve of another person’s choices, but your sophistication hinges on one crucial attitude that peace depends on: tolerance.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): In the same way bad art lacks an artistic point of view, bad dates lack a romantic point of view. You’ll have the most fun with people who know what they are looking for and why.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It’s easier for you to meet another person’s needs when you know what they are. Ask. If what you learn isn’t what you wanted to hear, you’ll be willing to adjust your thinking in the name of harmony.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): So much will go right when you avoid: worrying about the future, and worrying about now. Without anxious energy, you’ll seize your opportunities.

Duff selected for third Heartland XV

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Eric Duff’s inclusion in the Heartland XV squad on Wednesday was the third time the forward has been selected, but the first since joining Mid Canterbury.

Duff, who has operated at lock and blindside flanker for the Hammers this season, was selected for the Heartland XV in 2011 and 2013 during his time with Hanan Shield rivals North Otago.

All three of Mid Canterbury’s selections this year came from the forward pack, with hooker Jackson Donlan and lock Adaam Ross

joining Duff on the 10-day tour.

The Heartland XV squad, who assemble in Wellington on November 4, will play their first match against Marist in Masterton on November 7, before facing the Australian Barbarians in Levin and Wanganui on the 10th and 13th respectively.

Duff said he is looking forward to catching up with some of his former team-mates as Old Golds prop Ralph Darling and midfielder Lemi Masoe also got the nod.

“It’ll be good to catch up with Lemi and Ralph, there’s a lot of new faces as well, so it will be

Les reflects on superb ring career P17

good to meet the new guys and get to know them,” he said.

It will be Duff’s last three matches of the season as Mid Canterbury’s aspirations of a third successive Meads Cup final went up in smoke during a 26-11 loss to Wanganui in Ashburton last Saturday.

There will be envious glances from the 10 other Heartland Championship unions as the Butcher Boys meet South Canterbury in the Meads Cup final in Timaru on Saturday, but Duff already has one eye on next season.

“I’ve enjoyed the season.

“I’ve enjoyed my season with Southern, I’m really impressed with the club,” he said.

“Being fit and enjoying the footy is what it’s all about, and being around good coaches and players is enjoyable.”

Mid Canterbury’s Grant Keenan and Poverty Bay’s Mutu Ngarimu will coach the Heartland team.

Keenan believes they have the right blend of skill and experience for the team to be competitive in the upcoming series, and the three Hammers deserve to be in the Heartland fold after strong seasons.

“I think all three have been playing some very good football,” he said.

“Jackson Donlan has matured so much on and off the field, Adaam Ross brings that ITM Cup experience, great work at the lineout and size and strength in the contact zones and Eric Duff has been in outstanding form, he’s had a great season, we just couldn’t leave him out.”

Mid Canterbury prop Mark Andrew and halfback Will Mackenzie both narrowly missed out on selection, but will be on standby.
