THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Bringing out the heavy guns

By Sue Newman Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz As Ashburton businesses test the water for the time with the ‘Mondayisation’ of Anzac day, they’re unlikely to pass on the extra cost of opening their doors to their customers.

For several years hospitality businesses have tacked a surcharge onto bills to cover the cost of employing staff on statutory holidays, but that practice seems to have gone out of favour says Café Time owner www.guardianonline.co.nz Scott Stringer.

He’s open all weekend and while he had applied a surcharge to food and beverages sold in his Tinwald café in the past, he decided to scrap the option of earning extra & LIFESTY LE cash a few years ago.

“We haven’t done this for a couple of years now and I think 80 per cent of businesses don’t bother,” he said.

Methven runs riot

Local businesses drop surcharges

As Ashburton businesses test the water for the time with the ‘Mondayisation’ of Anzac Day, they’re unlikely to pass on the extra cost of opening their doors to their customers.

For several years hospitality businesses have tacked a surcharge on to bills to cover the cost of employing staff on statutory holidays, but that practice seems to have gone out of favour, said Café Time owner Scott Stringer.

He’s open all weekend and while he

had applied a surcharge to food and beverages sold in his Tinwald café in the past, he decided to scrap the option of earning extra cash a few years ago.

Strict rules around trading on Anzac Day preclude any hospitality outlet selling liquor from opening before 1pm. The statutory holiday, however, now becomes Monday.

For the district’s biggest hospitality business, the Ashburton Trust the reshaped Anzac weekend has meant a

combination of changed trading hours and longer statutory holiday hours.

Carol McAtamney, chief executive’s PA said the pay structure of the weekend was exactly the same as when Christmas Day or Boxing day fell at a weekend and the statutory holiday was transferred.

“It will be a normal Monday’s trading for us and we won’t be putting on surcharges.”

How Kiwis use Facebook Kiwis use Facebook to find sources of entertainment, new recipes and to read breaking news, according to the first release of data about New Zealand users. The insights also showed those using Facebook-owned photo sharing app Instagram love the Kardashian family, Lorde – and using the hashtag #love. A statistical breakdown showed 2.5 million Kiwis used Facebook each month – 1.9 million use it every day, on an average of 14 times. It is most popular with students aged under 25, with 85 per cent of people in that demographic using Facebook each day – 81 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds and 82 per cent of mums also use it every day.

Almost 80 per cent of users want to stay connected, or to reconnect, with friends and family, while about half want to meet new people or relax. Facebook’s NZ head of data science Andy Ford said the interaction with entertainment was a stand out trend in New Zealand compared to other countries.

Bullock named most beautiful woman

Elton’s famous sunglasses stolen Now you see them, now you don’t. Sir Elton John’s famous heart-shaped sunglasses have been stolen from a museum exhibit in Memphis, Tennessee. The iconic shades the Rocket Man hitmaker donned regularly during the 1970s have been on display in a locked case at the Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum for the past year, but the priceless piece of rock memorabilia went missing this week. Museum managers reported the theft to cops and authorities are now on the hunt for the culprit.

According to reports, security cameras failed to capture the theft on film.

NZ passports make top 20 most-powerful list New Zealand passports have made the top 20 most powerful passports in the world list, sneaking in at number 20. The list has been compiled by transport research comparison site GoEuro. It has ranked passports based on visa free access, the ability of citizens to obtain a passport, price, length of validity and the number of hours a citizens must work to obtain their passport. New Zealand passports allow its holder to visit 170 countries visa-free at a cost of $140, or 10 hours of work.

Passports from Sweden were deemed the most valuable with visa-free access to 174 countries, followed by Finland, Germany and the United Kingdom. The research found Afghanistan came in last, Turkey had the most expensive passports and United Arab Emirates the cheapest. New Zealanders are set to enjoy 10-year passports once again. The period was reduced to five years in 2005 in response to security concerns sparked by the 2001 terrorist attacks in the US.

Sandra Bullock has been named the World’s Most Beautiful Woman for 2015 by People magazine, following in the footsteps of Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts and last year’s Lupita Nyong’o. The 50-yearold Oscar winner, a Hollywood veteran known for her self-deprecating humour, said she initially thought the magazine’s honour was “ridiculous”. “Real beauty is quiet, especially in this town,” she told People. It was more important to “be a good person, be a good mum, do a good job with the lunch, let someone cut in front of you who looks like they’re in a bigger hurry”, she added. “The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren’t trying,” she told the magazine, adding that when told about the award “I just said, ‘That’s ridiculous’.”

Bullock won a best leading actress Oscar in 2010 for The Blind Side – the same year she was crowned top of the flops at the Razzies for her role in the box-office bust All About Steve. In a rare but popular move, she actually turned up to collect her trophy at the annual eve-of-Oscars spoof, which pays homage to the very worst of Hollywood.

Who lives on Candy Lane?

The proposed name for a new lane in Greytown caused some chuckles at a recent council meeting. Tania and Craig Candy applied to South Wairarapa District Council to name a right of way “Candy Lane”, which was created by a subdivision on Cotter Street. It was their first preference, followed by “Cotterville Lane” and third, “Flax Mill Lane”. Mayor Adrienne Staples said it was obviously named after the applicants.

Councillor Brian Jephson joked: “Either that or a porno movie.” Council officers assessing the application against the streetnaming policy apparently quite liked the name but could not recommend it to the council. Under the policy, names should have “significant local content or meaning” and should not be confused with streets with similar names. Officers said Cotterville Lane could be confused with Cotter Street and recommended the council approve the name Flax Mill Lane.

■ GP VISIT SUBSIDY

Free visits ‘could be abused’

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

An Ashburton health professional is concerned the extension of free doctors’ visits to children aged under 13 could result in unnecessary consultations.

The move to extend free doctors’ visits and free prescriptions for children aged under

six to children aged under 13 was confirmed in February by Health Minister Jonathan Coleman and ACC Minister Nikki Kaye.

Dr Coleman said at the time it was important that caregivers were not put off getting medical assistance for their young children because of the cost.

Ashburton GP spokeswoman Charlotte Cox said yesterday that any scheme that improved access to healthcare for those most in need was worthwhile.

“If the “fully subsidised” under 13s GP care achieves this then great,” she said.

However, Dr Cox said she hoped the extension would not create more consultations of

convenience with people bringing their children in for trivial consultations just because it was free.

Dr Cox said she suspected most GPs in the Ashburton district would opt in to the scheme.

“Those that don’t will have a valid reason for doing so,” she said.

Yesterday the Guardian reported that five out of Mid Canterbury’s seven GP practices had opted into the scheme, with the other two practices expected to make a decision within the next week.

Dr Cox said she is signing up to the scheme because she does not feel strongly enough against it.

■ ANZAC COMMEMORATIONS

Ferret scout car part of centenary commemorations

By Sue newman

sue.n@theguardian.Co.nz

It might not trace its origins back to World War One, but Derrick Cullimore’s Ferret scout car is still a fine example of war memorabilia.

And tomorrow, that car and an assortment of other vintage war vehicles, will be lined up on the West Street green as part of Ashburton’s commemoration of the centenary of the landing of the allied troops at Anzac Cove in Turkey.

The scout car hasn’t seen any action, but was built to take messages from the battlefield and for soldiers on observation duties.

It will be joined by two Dodge trucks, a Ford staff car from World War Two and a light Chev C8 truck.

The most impressive item on display, however, is likely to be a field gun which will fire three rounds at 11am to signal the start of the Anzac Day civic service in Baring Square.

Like most collectors of war memorabilia, Mr Cullimore said he is motivated by a desire to preserve machinery and vehicles from the past rather than by any glorification of war.

His scout car is registered, warranted and on the odd occasion can be seen on local roads.

It always attracts more than a few puzzled glances, he said.

Owning an elderly vehicle also means you need to be a dab hand at engine repairs and while the Ferret might be powered by a Rolls-Royce engine, it still requires plenty of work to keep it in running order.

Derrick Cullimore, wearing a Scottish Regiment beret, checks out his Ferret scout car before it heads for town to be part of an Anzac Day display on the West Street green.

■ ASHBURTON ANZAC COMMEMORATIONS

In brief

Services across the district

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When the sun rises on Anzac Day tomorrow, people around the Ashburton District will have several opportunities to be part of a history making moment.

This year marks the centenary of the landing of the allied troops in Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey; it also marks the beginning of a campaign that cost more than 2000 New Zealanders their lives.

Among the men who died on the beach and in the trenches there were many who came from Ashburton.

Some died in action, others were wounded and were to die

later in hospital in Egypt or on their return home.

Many sons of the Ashburton District are buried on foreign soil, but for others, there was no burial, their bodies lay where they fell. The only memorial to their short lives is a name inscribed on one of the memorials for missing soldiers high on the hills of Anzac Cove.

Tomorrow, as a district, we will remember them.

Across the district there will be many opportunities to be part of Anzac observances with the first of the day at the Ashburton cenotaph in Baring Square. The dawn service begins at 6.30am. A searchlight will pierce the early morning darkness as people gather to

remember. Ashburton’s second service will be held at the Ashburton Cemetery at 9am. Major Ken Smith from the Salvation Army will conduct both of Ashburton’s early services.

Services will also be held at Hinds at 10am where students from Hinds School will speak on their impressions of Anzac, with Reverend Rob Davison conducting the service.

Mayfield’s service is also timed for 10am. Lindsay Holland will speak and the service will be conducted by Reverend Taufalele.

Methven’s 10am service will be addressed by Private Hickman with the service itself conducted by Father Geoff Gray. Each service will be pre-

ceded by a parade.

Rakaia’s service will start with a parade at 10.15am.

The signature event of Anzac Day is the 11am civic service and wreath laying ceremony at the Ashburton Cenotaph.

It is preceded by a street parade which will this year feature several horses, recognising the role the horse played in many military campaigns.

When the parade ends in Baring Square, as the town clock chimes 11am, a field gun will fire three rounds to signal the start of the service.

This service will be taken by Reverend David Brown with guest speakers Ashburton College head girl and boy Kate Whiting and Lachie Davidson.

■ METHVEN RSA

Methven crosses a poignant tribute Sixty-six white crosses in front of the Methven Heritage Centre are a poignant tribute to the loss Methven suffered during World War One. The installation of the crosses this week in preparation for Anzac Day on Saturday is part of a nationwide project.

Each bears the name of a soldier from the area who was farewelled off to war, but never returned.

Methven RSA convenor Viv Barrett (right) said many of the surnames were still famililar names in the Methven area today, with residents’ ancestors having fought in the war.

A record sum was raised at Stash Rehash last weekend. Organiser Rowena Hart confirmed yesterday that $8000 was raised, more than double last year’s total of $3000.

“People were really generous,” she said. The annual fabric and craft supply sale, held at the Sinclair Centre last Saturday, also attracted record numbers. Ms Hart estimated that more than 2000 people attended. All proceeds will go to Arthritis Canterbury.

Former PM ill New Zealand Ambassador to the United States and former Prime Minister Mike Moore is in a Washington hospital having fallen ill earlier this week. The Herald understands he has had a mild stroke. Mr Moore has had other health problems and had a heart valve operation a year ago. He has been in the diplomatic post in the US capital city since 2010 and even without ill-health, he and his wife, Yvonne, had been widely expected to return home this year.

Foreign Minister Murray McCully would not confirm whether he had suffered a stroke but a spokesman said: “I am aware that Ambassador Moore is unwell. Out of respect for his privacy, I won’t be providing further comment at this time.”

Ebola suspected A second New Zealand healthcare worker is being tested for the ebola virus after returning from West Africa. Health Minister Jonathan Coleman said that since returning from Sierra Leone on April 15, the person had developed minor symptoms “that required the ebola virus to be ruled out”.

The unnamed person was airlifted to Wellington Hospital on Wednesday and was being kept in one of the facility’s isolation units.

Blood samples from the patient have been sent to a high-security laboratory in Melbourne and test results were expected within 24 to 48 hours.

The Holidays Act makes it clear that staff working both days can only receive holiday payment on one of those days.

The big change in trading hours this weekend comes tomorrow night when all bars must be closed by midnight.

In recognition of the signifi-

cance of Anzac Day, no outlets selling liquor can open before 1pm, but the trust’s Somerset Grocer will be opening its doors early for post Dawn Service breakfast.

In the competitive Christchurch market it appears the surcharge has all but disappeared with some bar and café owners saying Mondayising of statutory days that occurred at weekends and issues around holiday pay put considerable pressure on their profitability.

A Wellington man faces multiple driving charges following a police pursuit along a northern Wellington beach yesterday.

Police said they attempted to stop a motor vehicle that was travelling south on State Highway 1 in Otaki about 10.35am.

However, the driver failed to stop and increased his speed to escape from police.

Police said while the vehicle was on SH1, the driver overtook several vehicles and reached speeds of approximately 150km/h. The vehicle then turned off SH1 and drove west towards the coast.

Police said they continued to pursue the vehicle, which eventually ended up on the foreshore, travelling north along Peka Peka beach.

The pursuit continued along the beach until police abandoned the chase due to the difficult terrain”.

The driver of the vehicle abandoned the vehicle and attempted to escape on foot.

After a brief foot chase the driver was caught, and police checks revealed the driver’s car was stolen.

A 40-year-old local man has been bailed to appear in the Levin District Court.

- NZME

Two vehicles have been seized by authorities after eight people were caught with more than 10,000 cockles leaving an estuary north of Christchurch on Monday. The group had 9300 cockles more than the daily limit for Canterbury – possibly the largest illegal haul in New Zealand for many years, Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) officials said. Compliance officers received a hotline tip-off about a group of people who had been gathering seafood for a lengthy period of time at Ashley River near Waikuku Beach. - NZME

Plastic bag plea The Green Party is calling on the government to make a plan to reduce plastic bag use.

A report from the Ministry for the Environment shows public support for reducing waste from plastic bags, waste spokesperson Denise Roche said. “The Government should listen to New Zealanders who want to stop the environmental damage caused by plastic bags by making it a priority waste product,” said Green Party waste spokesperson Denise Roche.

■ ASHBURTON WATER ZONE COMMITTEE

Carters Creek back on the agenda Water quality in Carters Creek will be back on the agenda when the Ashburton Water Zone Committee meets on Tuesday afternoon.

The focus will be on moving forward with the programme to improve water quality in the creek.

Applications will be considered for Immediate Steps biodiversity funding will also be discussed.

The committee will consider

three new local projects that protect and enhance local wetlands and biodiversity values, and restore native plantings alongside a local swampland.

To date, the committee has approved more than $320,000 in Immediate Steps funding, supporting 25 projects.

There is still around $180,000 available.

An update on the area north of the Ashburton River will focus on the current state of the

area and how landowners are adapting to the provisions in the proposed Land and Water Regional Plan.

The area is currently scheduled to go through a sub-regional planning process in 2018/19.

Representatives from the Ashburton River Water Users’ Group, the Ashburton District Council, and the Hinds Drains Working Party will update the committee on progress to develop recommendations on min-

imum flows and surface water allocation.

The Hinds Drains Working Party is also investigating options such as Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR), working with Ashburton District Council as it looks at more efficient ways of delivering stock water to users.

MAR provides a set of tools designed to purposely recharge clean water to underlying aquifers for the enhancement and protection of water resource

■ PM’S PONYTAIL PULLING INCIDENT

Prime Minister’s actions ‘pretty weird’ We asked staff at cafes and restaurants around Ashburton what they thought of Prime Minister John Key pulling a waitress’ ponytail.

Marae to hold Anzac service

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton waitress Ravy Mann thought Prime Minister John Key’s actions “pretty weird”.

People employed to work with food have to have their long hair tied back, she pointed out.

“He should not be touching her hair – imagine if I touched his hair?

“He should not touch her at all.”

Ravy’s mother Ampor agreed.

“Maybe it’s because he’s the prime minister; he thinks he can get away with anything,” Mrs Mann said.

“It’s not right, people are just doing their job.”

Everyone else spoken to by the Guardian declined to have their comment published, but responses ranged from not knowing about the scandal to blaming the media for blowing it out of proportion.

■ ANZAC MISSION

Local man makes Gallipoli offer Ashburton man David Oakley might not make it to Gallipoli in time for Anzac Day, but he’s heading there shortly after on a mission that will have a very ‘Ashburton’ theme.

Inspired by a Christchurch man who was travelling to Anzac Cove for the centennial commemoration of the landing of the first allied troops, Mr Oakley is offering to take small items of memorabilia for families unable to make the trip themselves.

“I saw a chap on the news who’d advertised on Trade Me to see if anyone wanted things taken over. I’m going and if there’s a family of a soldier in Ashburton who wanted something like a poppy taken, I’d be happy to do that,” he said.

quality and quantity.

The Ashburton Zone Committee is a joint committee of the Ashburton District Council and Environment Canterbury.

The Ashburton zone extends from the Rakaia River to the Rangitata River and includes Ashburton, Rakaia and Methven.

Information on Immediate Steps funding can be found at www.ecan.govt.nz or by calling 0800 324 636.

While the Trade Me advertisement generated a huge response and the man involved was taking items for many families, Mr Oakley said his offer wouldn’t be quite so wide.

“I’d be happy to take the odd item such as a poppy over but I’d need to know which cemetery and there are a lot of New Zealand cemeteries so I wouldn’t be going to them all,” he said.

He leaves New Zealand on May 9 and is happy to talk to anyone with a family member buried or with a name on a memorial and to make it more personal, he’s happy to meet with any family taking up the offer.

Hakatere Marae is holding its own Anzac Service this weekend, focusing on the Fallen Soldiers of Fairton.

This is the third year the marae has held a service, which will begin at 7.30am on Saturday.

Marae spokeswoman Janet Benfell said one of the addresses at the service will be on the Fallen Soldiers of Fairton.

Mrs Benfell said World War One took its toll on the rural areas of Mid Canterbury, particularly Fairton, where 13 of the 39 men who enlisted were killed. All were single men, their ages ranging from 20 to 41 years old.

The Anzac service will also include a tribute to the Maori Pioneer Battalion who were sent to Gallipoli following the huge losses at the landing.

Members of the public are welcome to attend, and various people will speak at the service, including two members of the New Zealand Defence Force Territorials.

■ WAKANUI CLEARING SALE

In brief

Machinery from a bygone era Auction goers were treated to sights from a bygone era at a farm clearance sale in the Wakanui District yesterday.

While old timers reminisced over vintage farming equipment, younger people puzzled over the purpose of some of the machinery lined up to go under the hammer.

Stock watering troughs more suited to sheep than dairy cattle, posts, cyclone netting and woolshed equipment on offer pointed to a change of land use on Grant Kingsbury’s farm.

Retired engineer Les Nell took time to check out an old Duncan seed drill, complete with wooden wheels.

He reckoned it was probably in use around the turn of the 19th century.

“It would still do the job today with a bit of work,” he said.

A vintage farm Diesol pump was one of the items which attracted the attention of bidders, and was eventually knocked down for $1300.

On the other hand, there was limited demand for stacks of chaff sacks and rows of 44-gallon drums.

Subsidy overstated The Government says a taxpayer subsidy for Team New Zealand’s arch rival Oracle Racing has been overstated. Warkworth-based boat-building business Core Builders Composites, a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle Racing, has been awarded a three-year research and development grant by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. A news update on MBIE’s website last week appeared to show that the grant was worth $17.25 million.

Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce said yesterday the amount of the grant was confidential. “But it is nothing like the $17 million quoted in media reports to date which is pure fabrication.”

The first came at 10.36am and was recorded 20km east of Seddon.

It was 23km deep and had a magnitude of 4.4, GeoNet said.

The second hit six minutes later at 10.42am and was more intense than the first. It was recorded 15km east of Seddon, had a magnitude of 5.1 and was described as strong

■ REVIEW

100 Years Salute to Anzac Ashburton Trust Event Centre Reviewed by Moyra Whiting Enter the Ashburton Trust Event Centre foyer and you will be immediately taken back to the setting of World0 War One. The auditorium stage too, is a treasure trove of memorabilia, leaving just enough space for a backing band of 10 and a cast of 22 to delight an audience.

Once again I am reminded of how proud we can be to live in this town where talent abounds.

Jenny Beach, Margaret Jackson and Susan Spencer (aka The Red Hot Nanas), supported by a strong team of assistants have compiled a show of song, dance, humour and memories, casting each item superbly.

I’m not giving away too many secrets but the Army,

Navy and the Air Force are all involved.

Comin’ in on a Wing and a Prayer was very cleverly choreographed with airman ‘T’ well in control of his crew.

If you remember Windsor Davies and Don Estelle in It ain’t Half Hot Mum, you will enjoy the humorous rendition of Whispering Grass.

To single out performers and all others behind the scenes would be unfair, given that each and every person involved in this show has volunteered time in order to give pleasure to others.

Commemorating 100 years of Anzac in this way is special.

There is opportunity to participate in a number of sing-alongs, laugh at the antics of errant soldiers and simply enjoy yet another wonderful Ashburton proJenny Beach, Susan Spencer and Margaret Jackson doing what they do best - putting on another topduction. class performance.

GREAT SAVINGS ON

As a mark of respect Smith and Church will be closed all day Saturday, April 25. We will reopen Monday, April 27.

Poo in the post

A real-estate agent has admitted sending poo in the post to a business rival - but says it wasn’t his. Grant Campbell Tucker, 58, originally denied the allegation and was due to appear in Auckland District Court yesterday on charges of posting a noxious substance (namely faeces) and using a telephone to offend. However, the court confirmed Tucker had pleaded guilty to the Postal Services Act charge and would be sentenced in June, while the other charge had been dismissed.

It is understood the incident came about over a long-running stoush between Tucker - a director of Netrealty - and John Charles Wills, who is a director of Custom Residential.

A boy was burnt and airlifted to hospital after someone tripped and accidentally spilled a pot of boiling water on him. The Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust was called out to Surfdale on Waiheke Island yesterday to help the 5-year-old boy when the accident happened at about 4.30pm. The boy had serious injuries. The person who tripped was not a family member.

He was treated with pain relief and had his burns covered with cling film before being transported to Middlemore Hospital.

OUR VIEW

Not just a bad hair day Stu Oldham

EDITOR

I

ncreasingly, there is nothing light-hearted about the Prime Minister’s rapidly developing bad hair day.

The now infamous story of repeated ponytail pulling has reportedly made John Key the subject of a human rights complaint here and the subject of ridicule overseas.

And as the details were picked through again yesterday, even the most ardent of his supporters must surely have asked “oh, John – isn’t this all just a little bit weird?”

There is something endearing about a prime minister who likes a joke as much as the rest of us. But tugging a café worker’s ponytail is not the sort of thing one would expect from a prime minister and not the sort of thing the world expects from a statesman.

Politeness, preservation of personal space, respect and even the law probably suggest it is not the sort of thing one would expect from anyone visiting a cafe.

This might not resonate with the many New Zealanders who dismissed what happened as “not news”, but the saga piqued the interest of surprised international media.

The Telegraph reported on “a bizarre lapse of judgment” and the Washington Post screamed “New Zealand’s ponytail-pulling prime minister becomes national embarrassment”.

“National embarrassment” is taking things too far, but there is no doubt the incidents will be embarrassing to Mr Key and a party so closely linked to his very successful brand.

At the very least, they fall short of the standards Mr Key promotes – standards that had backbench MP Aaron Gilmore dropped for abusing a waiter.

Mr Key’s apology was not enough for groups such as the Human Rights Commission and the National Council of Women and workers’ advocates who say unwelcome touching is never a bit of fun.

And it was not enough for prolific private prosecutor Graham McCready, who reportedly filed a complaint alleging Mr Key breached the Human Rights Act. Mr Key should be free from intrusion and able to have a laugh on his weekends. But personal rights and freedoms should be respected – and a prime minister never really has a day off.

Proud to be from Ashvegas

T

his week I had the pleasure of interviewing Allyson Gofton.

She has a cookbook out at the moment and is coming to Ashburton on May 7 for a breakfast at the Somerset Grocer.

Before we started recording the chat for the radio, she raved about how much she loved the Grocer and even more so about how much she loved Ashburton.

“It’s one town in the South Island that I could happily live in, if I ever left Auckland,” she said. “I love the feel of the place.”

Awesome!

I’m not sure if it’s some sort of hangover from her one year sabbatical in a small village in the South of France, but it was high praise indeed.

I agreed with her totally and told her proudly we are just about to get even better when we open our new EA Network complex soon.

We are knocking on the door of becoming a really “mint”

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

(my 12-year-old daughter will love me using that adjective) place to live.

We have a top-drawer venue for entertainment in the Event Centre, that attracts quality performers from New Zealand and abroad.

We are about to lure sportspeople from all over the country with the EA Networks Complex and (he says with a whisper), like it or not, we are about to have a state-of-the-art museum and art gallery. That’s a whole lot to be proud of eh?

There’s no real need to head 80km north to shop anymore as we have most things pretty much covered here in town, retail wise.

I was really happy to see

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay and a committee looking into ways to tackle the issues we have in the CBD in the small hours of the weekends.

I’m sure once we get the problems with transport home sorted out that will resolve most of those issues.

Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield and the boys and girls in blue are making their presence felt in town which is fantastic to see.

We host some fantastic events like the Multi-Cultural Bite, Bookarama, Christmas in the Park and the Harness Jewels.

Mt Hutt, Lake Hood, Peel Forest and more are on our doorstep – there’s a lot to like about our region.

Yes, in a region our size some people are going to get off on knowing your business before you do. But that is offset by that tight-knit community feel that we have here.

There was a great example of that when Gavin Borth-

■ MALTA

In brief Five attacks thwarted France’s prime minister says five attacks have been thwarted in France since a January assault

by Islamic extremist gunmen left 20 people dead, including the attackers. Manuel Valls said the five included the planned attack officials said was thwarted Sunday when the would-be gunman apparently shot himself in the leg by accident and called for an ambulance, raising the suspicion of the police. “The threat has never been so significant,” Valls said.

Authorities say the 24-year-old Algerian arrested in Paris on Sunday was targeting one or more churches and was linked to the shooting death of a young woman.

The computer science student had been flagged as a security risk this year and in 2014, but managed to amass an arsenal of weapons. - AP

Med’s worst migrant disaster European officials honoured the dead of the Mediterranean’s worst-ever migrant disaster yesterday as more would-be refugees arrived in Italy and prosecutors questioned the suspected smugglers.

Twenty-four caskets containing the only bodies recovered from the weekend capsizing that left an estimated 800 dead were laid out for an interfaith memorial service on the grounds of Malta’s main hospital.

Wails from members of Mal-

ta’s African community punctuated the ceremony, which included Christian and Muslim prayers.

“We mourn them, because irrespective of our creed, nationality, race, we know that they are our fellow human beings,” Gozo Bishop Mario Grech said during the service.

Malta’s president and prime minister, Italy’s interior minister and the EU’s migration commissioner attended.

“Europe is declaring war on smugglers, and the union

will collaborate with international partners,” EU Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos told a news conference after the memorial.

Only 28 people survived the capsizing of the migrant boat last weekend and 24 bodies were recovered, including that of an adolescent whose remains were placed in the lone white casket for burial.

Catania prosecutors have accused the suspected captain, Mohammad Ali Malek, 27 from Tunisia, and crew member

Mahmud Bikhit, a 25-year-old Syrian, of aiding and abetting illegal immigration. The captain is also accused of multiple counts of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and sequestering people, given the hull and lower deck of the boat were bolted, sealing the migrants in.

They were being questioned byefore a judge who must decide whether to confirm their arrests.

Malek’s attorney, Massimo Ferrante, has denied his client was responsible.

Worst over but hundreds still isolated Floodwaters are receding across much of NSW but about 2000 people who remain isolated might have to stay put for days to come.

Fierce storms have lashed the Hunter, Sydney and Illawarra regions over the past three days, leaving four people dead.

The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) has logged 14,860 calls since Monday morning, with emergency crews only about halfway through the backlog, while the damage bill stands at $161 million and is set to rise.

NSW Premier Mike Baird,

who toured drenched townships in the Hunter yesterday, said it was likely to be a long time before those affected were back on their feet.

“Homes, cattle - this whole landscape has been completely and utterly devastated,” Mr Baird said in Maitland after a helicopter trip above the region. “I don’t think many of us can imagine circumstances where our life is literally washed away ... Personal possessions, all your memories are lost in an instant.”

There have been more than 150 flood rescues this week.

SES teams are ferrying food

and medical supplies to more than 1800 people in the communities of Hinton and Gillieston Heights, where greatgrandmother Anne Jarmain died after her car was washed off a roadway on Wednesday morning.

With no power and dwindling food supplies, she had popped out to buy some milk.

Local SES spokeswoman Amanda Hyde said many homes could remain cut off into the weekend.

There were emotional family reunions after 35 people, who did not live locally but had been caught out by the storms, were

brought to higher ground.

Meanwhile, locals have rallied to share what they have, offering blankets and dry clothes and opening up their homes.

As other communities shift into recovery mode, the Deputy State Emergency Operations Controller, Assistant Commissioner Alan Clarke, has urged people to remain vigilant.

“The effects of the clean-up can be just as dangerous as the floods themselves and we are appealing to the communities impacted by the floods to take all precautions and listen to emergency service agencies,” he said.

A volcano in Chile has erupted twice in a day after being dormant for more than half a century. A state of red alert remains in force after the second blast from the Calbuco volcano in the south of the country, Chile’s National Geology and Mining Service said via Twitter. The first eruption was the first by Calbuco in 54 years.

It forced the evacuation of about 5000 people and sent a column of ash high into the sky. But there were no immediate reports of injuries. Officials ordered an evacuation for a 20-kilometre radius around the volcano and the interior ministry rushed in the army to temporarily take control of the province of Llanquihue and the town of Puerto Octay.

On the run 4 decades Frail and tired of leading a secret life for four decades, 66-year-old Clarence David Moore called police this week to surrender. The deputy who answered thought it was a prank. It wasn’t. Moore escaped from police custody three times during the 1970s and eventually settled into a quiet life, living in Kentucky since at least 2009. His health is poor from a stroke and he has difficulty speaking. Without a legitimate ID, he had apparently struggled to get medical care.

When Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton showed up at Moore’s house to make the “arrest,” Moore was in a hospital bed. He broke down in tears. “He looks like he’s almost 90,” the sheriff said. Moore was convicted of larceny of more than $200 in North Carolina in 1967 and was sentenced to up to seven years in prison.

Girl wrongly sent to US When a woman in Texas claimed that Alondra Luna Nunez was her long-lost daughter, the girl’s real parents in Mexico say they presented more than a dozen documents. They were sure it was enough to demonstrate her true origins. In the end, they say, Alondra was sent screaming to the US. And they blame their traumatic week-long separation squarely on the judge who made the final call.

DNA testing proved Alondra was not Houston resident Dorotea Garcia’s daughter. The case drew international attention after a video of the distraught girl being forced into a police vehicle circulated.

It’s been a busy week for the markets

BY TINA MORRISON

New Zealand migration hit a new annual record in March, as more students arrived from India and China and fewer locals left for Australia.

The country had a net gain of 56,275 migrants in the year through March, 75 per cent higher than the 31,914 gain in the year earlier period, Statistics New Zealand said. Migrant arrivals were 16 per cent ahead of the year earlier period, while departures declined 13 per cent, the agency said.

New Zealand annual migration has broken records for an eighth consecutive month as the nation’s economic prospects appear brighter than in many other countries. That’s helping stoke economic activity, pushing up demand for housing and cars while also reducing pressure on wage inflation by boosting the supply of labour.

“There was nothing in today’s data to change our view that annual net immigration will approach 60,000 later this year,” Westpac Banking Corp senior economist Felix Delbruck said in a note. “New Zealand’s construction-fuelled economic upturn is continuing to draw in foreign workers in historically very large numbers. And the

inflow of international students remains high.

“These supportive factors won’t last forever, but they are unlikely to weaken seriously any time soon. We expect population growth – already the fastest since 2003 – to accelerate further this year, to just under 2 per cent, and remain high into 2016.

That is good news from the point of view of economic growth and will also help alleviate labour market pressures, but it also means that Auckland’s housing squeeze is likely to get worse before it gets better.”

The decline in migrant departures reflects fewer people leaving for Australia, where the economic prospects are weaker

following a slowdown in the mining industry. New Zealand had a net loss of 2300 people to Australia in the year through March, compared with a loss of 2500 people in the year earlier period. That’s the smallest net loss to Australia since the March 1992 year when 2300 more people left than arrived.

The gain in migrant arrivals was driven by India, with a net gain of 12,100 people in the year through March, followed by 7700 from China, 4900 from the UK and 4000 from the Philippines. About three-quarters of migrants from India and half of migrants from China arrived on student visas, the agency said.

rency headwinds for many US companies as well as weakerthan-expected global demand.

Oil prices have been a huge drag on the energy sector this year as well which was seen in earnings results from oil service providers Schlumberger, late last week, and Honeywell, who both reported a decline in earnings.

So far 73 per cent of the S&P500 companies that have reported have beaten earnings expectations, although this may be because expectations for the season were very low, given that only 42.2 per cent have beaten expectations at the revenue level. Next week reporting season continues with another plethora of companies ready to report.

of 1.3 per cent, in line with expectations and well below the RBA’s target rate of 2-3 per cent. The trend of falling inflation further adds to the case that the RBA will cut rates at the May meeting.

New Zealand’s first quarter inflation figures were also released this week and continued to decline. The quarterly figure showed the second quarter of deflation with a fall of 0.3 per cent. The annualised figure showed inflation for the year had fallen to 0.1 per cent, below expectations and Reserve Bank of New Zealand estimates. The fall was largely attributed to the large drop in fuel prices, which had fallen 11 per cent over the quarter. The annual figure has prompted some debate over whether rates should be cut or not.

who expected a reading of -3.0.

This drop has the ability to threaten the recovery, which had been progressing well, as a drop in confidence normally signals a reduction in household spending. However, April’s drop is the first in five months so it could merely be a correction after such a strong run.

Across the Tasman, in Australia, investors were able to gain insight into the reasoning for the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision not to raise rates. They were released soon after Governor Glenn Stevens spoke in New York and opened the door to further rate cuts.

The minutes supported this view commenting that “further easing of policy may be appropriate over the period ahead to foster sustainable growth in demand and inflation consistent with the target”.

The board believed they would be able to assess the situation better with further data, including inflationary trends.

Later in the week markets saw inflation dip to an annual rate

Europe continues to face difficult times as the currency bloc focuses on getting Greece through its latest debt crisis.

This week further information came to light in regards to the lack of progress Greece is making in order to appease its creditors, putting off the economic reforms that are a condition of further help through the country’s bailout. Early in the week, the Greek government appealed to its public offices and asked for any spare funds to be handed over in an attempt to pay its looming debt payments which include payments to the IMF which total close to €2.5 billion as well as bond redemption payments to the ECB which equate to over €7.5 billion.

Concern that Greece might crash out of the Eurozone has dragged down consumer confidence in the region, with April’s reading falling to -4.6 from -3.7 in March. The fall was a surprise for many economists

arkets this week have had a lot to digest as earnings season in the US really ramped up and entered its busiest week.

In Europe, investors contended with a sell down after some strong weeks of gains on share markets as well as indecision on the Greek debt crisis and weak consumer confidence.

Closer to home, both New Zealand and Australia released first quarter Consumer Price Index results which both showed very low inflation. The Reserve Bank of Australia also released minutes from its latest meeting which gave markets insight into the surprise decision not to cut rates.

This week the US reporting season entered its busiest week with 147 S&P500 companies set to report March quarter earnings. Expectations remain fairly negative for the season with most analysts expecting negative earnings, with an average decline of 3.9 per cent. This is on the back of a very strong dollar which has caused cur-

Ben Neal: Figured New Zealand technology could do it better.

feed portions throughout the day to ensure all their calves get the nutrition they need.

The confidential and secure data is collected and delivered wirelessly to a smartphone or home computer.

“It’s all about animal welfare.

“With the data we get from each machine we can really build a picture of the health of an individual calf and chart its

progress through the rearing period,” says Neal.

Automated feeding also reduces labour time and feed costs and, ultimately, ensures no calf is left out, he says.

“Our machines are Kiwi engineered and robustly designed for New Zealand’s farms and weather conditions.

“The technology is ours and the system is basically a league

above what’s currently out there.”

Calfsmart is also designed for larger-scale rearing operations - scalable up to 2000 calves - whereas most other systems only feed up to about 200 calves, says Neal.

Neal explains each dairy farmer has a different strategy for rearing calves and believes the technology can advance best practice.

It’s taken 18 months to get the system to market, but it’s now available and the fledgling company is gearing up for an official launch.

Helping Calfsmart every step of the way has been Building Clever Companies (BCC - formerly The Bio Commerce Centre) in Palmerston North, which supplied office facilities, mentoring and marketing training.

It also arranged pre-seed and seed investment funding of $160,000, after Neal received a no-obligation government grant of $25,000 to assist with building a prototype stall. - NZME

■ SELF-DRIVE CARS

Autonomous driving ‘definitely coming’ Self-driving vehicles hold the key to reducing traffic fatalities and will transform the automobile industry, a top Google executive says.

Ray Kurzweil, a leading expert in artificial intelligence who joined Google in 2012, told the annual conference of the Society of Automotive Engineers that the rapidly declining cost of computing power and the advances in artificial intelligence will make

autonomous driving a reality.

Kurzweil told the audience that autonomous driving, utilising artificial intelligence, is definitely coming.

“The technology works. It’s not far away,” said Kurzweil, though he was not prepared to say just when self-driving cars will become a common sight.

“Google advised me to share with you they don’t know the answer.

“The technology is not go-

ing to be introduced until it’s ready.”

The need and value of autonomous vehicles is clear, he told hundreds of the industry’s top engineers.

“Google cars have gone close to a million miles without incident,” he said. “Some day an autonomous car will cause an accident and it will be big news.

But while we’ve been talking several people have died from human drivers.”

Nearly one-third of New Zealand small and medium-sized enterprises say digital technology has had no impact on their business over the past five years and 27 per cent don’t expect it to in the next five years. That’s one of the findings of the 2015 Westpac Grow New Zealand survey of nearly 1200 SMEs ranging in size from $250,000 to $5 million in turnover. About 38 per cent had bought new hardware or software in the past five years and 36 per cent intended doing so in future but less than a third had used that new technology to change their marketing approach or online processes. Westpac chief economist Dominick Stephens said the lack of impact from digital technology was surprising, as was the fact many SMEs were also not confident about securing the right staff to capitalise on it.

Google looks for Nessie Many have tried and failed to prove the existence of the Loch Ness Monster - now Google has joined the search. The firm has, with the help of divers and local experts, used its Street View cameras to capture parts of the Scottish loch, the reputed home of the famous cryptid. Its images, taken both above and below the surface of the water, are available to view from today - giving armchair travellers the chance to admire the Highlands scenery - or plunge to the depths in search of Nessie. According to Google, there are around 200,000 searches each month for the Loch Ness Monster, and around 120,000 for information about Loch Ness, yet “few people know what the loch even looks like”.

No more passwords?

PayPal is working on a new generation of embeddable, injectable and ingestible devices that could replace passwords as a means of identification. Jonathan LeBlanc, PayPal’s global head of developer evangelism, claims these devices could include brain implants, waferthin silicon chips that can be embedded into the skin, and ingestible devices with batteries that are powered by stomach acid. Over time they would come to replace passwords and even more advanc-ed methods of identification, which he says are not always reliable. - NZME

Autonomous cars “are ultimately going to save millions of lives,” he said, noting that traffic accidents kill 1.2 million people worldwide a year now.

“They also provide more efficient use of roads and parking lots. There are a lot of benefits.”

But he said Google was not going to let its self-drive cars into the market “until they’re safe”. “They have to be much more reliable than the technology they replace.”

In brief

Hi-tech herd measuring Calfsmart is the brainchild of Ben Neal, a 35-year-old mechanical engineer who grew up on a dairy farm in Dannevirke.

After discovering shortfalls in calf-feeding operations while on holiday in Denmark seven years ago, Neal set about producing a “more efficient system” to help New Zealand’s dairy sector rear their calves more successfully.

“Due to my dairy background I was keen to learn how the industry was working over there.

“I was seeing these European products being imported into New Zealand in an attempt to fit New Zealand farming practices - which they did not do well.”

Calfsmart is a four-stall feeding system designed to produce better-quality herds, faster. An ear tag antenna identifies each calf as it enters the stall and the Calfsmart system automatically dispenses a custom feed recipe.

Farmers can measure the progress of their herd or any individual calf and alter their

In brief IPL call-up for Munro Hard-hitting Auckland batsman Colin Munro has been handed the opportunity of a lifetime, being drafted into the Indian Premier League by the Mumbai Indians. The onetest batsman has been called in to replace injured Australian opener Aaron Finch, while allrounder Corey Anderson is returning home ahead of the tour to England in May to nurse a finger injury. The Indians, coached by Australian legend Ricky Ponting and with Shane Bond as bowling coach, sent out an SOS to Munro who has flown to Wellington to try to secure a visa. - NZME

Cook among the runs Alastair Cook closed in on becoming England’s highest Test run-maker as his team began their pursuit of West Indies’ 299 all out on the second day of the second Test in Grenada. England skipper Cook (37) and fellow opener Jonathan Trott (32) negotiated 26 overs as the visitors reached 0-74 at the National Cricket Stadium.

Cook achieved a milestone during his unbeaten knock on Wednesday, going past former player Alec Stewart as his country’s secondhighest run-getter with a tally of 8484. Only Graham Gooch remains ahead of him.

No thaw in relations The gulf between champion eventer Andrew Nicholson and Equestrian Sport New Zealand appears to be widening. There was a significant fallout between former world No1 rider and sixtime Olympic Games representative Nicholson and the sport’s bosses after an incident during the world games in France late last year, with Nicholson withdrawing himself from the high performance group. According to ESNZ, Nicholson has been unwilling to meet certain standards the national body requires and has put conditions on rejoining the high performance squad.

Bangas sweep Pakistan Opening batsman Soumya Sarkar has hit a maiden one-day century as Bangladesh thrashed woeful Pakistan by eight wickets in Dhaka to sweep the one-day series 3-0. The 22-year-old left-hander smashed an unbeaten 127 as the fired-up hosts surpassed Pakistan’s modest 250 all out in the 40th over at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.

Pakistan captain Azhar Ali’s 100 made no difference to his team’s fortunes after Bangladesh had won the first match by 79 runs and the second by seven wickets. It was the first series whitewash by the Tigers against an Asian Testplaying nation, and followed their appearance in the quarter-finals of the recent World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Methven shooters on fire

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Methven made a statement to open the premier netball competition with a comprehensive 40-19 win over defending champions Celtic last night.

On a mild evening Methven produced a dominant display for a first-up win over rivals Celtic to usher in the new era of night-time netball.

The win also meant Methven successfully defended the new Premier Challenge Trophy – after being drawn out as the inaugural holders.

Methven’s new coach Maree McPhail was suitably impressed with the strong start to the competition.

“It was a surprisingly convincing win,” McPhail said.

“We had four really solid, intense quarters.

“The score probably didn’t reflect the intensity from both teams but our shooters were on fire - our whole team was on fire actually.”

Methven had a blistering start scoring the first four goals on their way to an 11-6 quarter time lead.

They carried their momentum into the second quarter, scoring the first four goals yet again before Celtic stemmed the flow to limit Methven’s lead to nine at the break.

Methven was utilising the long ball and finding space in the goal circle, while Celtic struggled to find their rhythm.

Celtic made some positional changes but Methven continued to dominate, taking the third quarter 11-2.

With the game in hand Methven did not let up, extending their lead to 21 by full time despite a stronger period from the reigning premiers.

Methven’s new shooter Bindy Egden made a strong debut, as did defender Philippa Brooks, while for Celtic Olivia Hutchinson was strong through the mid-court.

In the other first round matches Hampstead had a 27-16 win over Collegiate and in the late game, College had a 26-14 win over United.

In Senior A it was wins for Rakaia, Methven B and College B.

Terry’s big divvie

Mills helps drive Spurs to overtime NBA win

Ashburton’s Terry Chmiel, who trains at Leeston, set up a huge trifecta at Addington last night. He trained and drove Another Delight to win paying $70, while other longshots Natives Lasting Love and China Express filled the minors in the second race. While the quinella was a goodie at $346.90, the trifecta was a whopping $10,811.40, for those punters who spread their nets extra-wide.

With star point guard Tony Parker injured, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich looked to Australia’s Patty Mills to lead the reigning NBA champions to victory yesterday.

Mills didn’t let him down.

The Los Angeles Clippers were ahead 94-92 with 8.6 seconds left in regulation and the

Spurs were facing a 0-2 deficit in their playoff series.

Mills stepped up to the free throw line with 20,000 LA fans booing and coolly hit both shots to push the game into overtime.

In the final seconds of overtime, he sank four more free throws to give the Spurs a 111107 victory and square the se-

ries 1-1. It puts the Spurs in a commanding position with the next two games in San Antonio.

“It was a huge game,” Mills told reporters. “Our mindset was it was like a game seven and that’s how we treated it.”

Mills finished with 18 points, including two three pointers in the last 30 seconds of the third.

“Nothing,” Mills replied when asked what was going on in his head when he lined up for the pressure free throws. “Keep it simple, step up and shoot.”

In the other Western Conference match-up the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 97-82 to take a 2-0 lead in their series. - AAP

Sydney wary of Phoenix Sydney FC are expecting to face a much tougher Wellington Phoenix outfit in their crucial A-League final round clash in Wellington on Sunday. The Sky Blues beat the Phoenix 3-0 in round 23 and they face off again in a final round shootout in Wellington that will likely decide a coveted second place on the ladder.

But Sydney captain Alex Brosque says the Phoenix are a very different proposition this time around with Socceroos striker Nathan Burns and All Whites star Michael McGlinchey back in their forwards. Brosque said the Sky Blues had been doing their homework and defensive focus would be crucial.

Madrid, Juve march on Real Madrid and Juventus scraped into the Champions League semifinals, joining already qualified Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

Defending champions Real edged city rivals Atletico 1-0 thanks to an 88th-minute winner from on-loan striker Javier Hernandez after a goalless first leg. Juventus also made it to the last-four after a 0-0 draw in Monaco allowed them to qualify courtesy of their 1-0 first leg win in Italy last week. Bayern and Barcelona had made sure of their places on Tuesday leaving today’s semi-final draw to feature four teams with 21 European Cup triumphs between them.

Celtic goes clear at the top Celtic survived a nervy finish to earn a 2-1 win away to Dundee at Dens Park yesterday to move them eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

The Glasgow giants took a 32nd minute lead through Gary Mackay-Steven (right), who gave Dundee goalkeeper Scott Bain no chance with a vicious volley.

Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk then increased their lead in the 63rd minute with a curling free-kick. The Hoops looked to be in total control before Jim McAlister managed to pull one back for Dundee to set up a frantic finish.

Victory helped Celtic get over the disappointment of a Scottish Cup semi-final defeat by Inverness and edged Ronny Deila’s side closer to a fourth consecutive league title.

Hurricanes the surprise package

BY DANIEL RICHARDSON It’s eight down, eight to go for the Hurricanes, and few would have predicted they’d have won seven of those eight to start the year.

Expectations were low in the capital during pre-season and there was a feeling of unease given the way new coach Chris Boyd took Wellington to relegation during last year’s ITM Cup. But while that looked awful on paper, it didn’t tell the full

story and Boyd had an ace up his sleeve in defensive guru John Plumtree. The assistant coach, who has previously worked with the Sharks and the Irish national side, has the Hurricanes forward pack firing.

What has worked?

Defence wins championships and the Hurricanes have been immense in that department this season. They make 89 per cent of their tackles and they’ve shown the required level of aggression and intensity to be competitive

at Super Rugby. That defence has laid the platform for them to attack and they’ve been dangerous on the counter.

What hasn’t worked?

They’ve given up too much ball in recent weeks. The Rebels and Stormers didn’t have the quality in the backs to take advantage but the Waratahs made them pay last weekend as the Hurricanes suffered their first loss of the campaign. Coach Boyd knows it is an issue and the Hurricanes need to be better with their ball

two. Victory over the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld proved they had real ability. It also showed the Hurricanes had a new-found calm, something which lacked greatly in the Hammett era.

In brief No AB policy change New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew says they won’t relax their eligibility laws around playing for the All Blacks, despite the Australian Rugby Union announcing a policy that will allow offshore players to represent the Wallabies. Tew said it wasn’t a line of thinking that NZR would adopt. “Our view has been, for a very long time, that one of the key planks in our ability to retain our players in New Zealand, and for us to continue to have a system where we produce talent, we need to have our top players playing in New Zealand,” Tew said. “And, therefore the All Black jersey is part of that eligibility.”

- NZME

Wallabies praise call Wallabies past and present have hailed the ARU’s decision to allow elite overseas-based players to remain in the Test frame a master stroke as calls grow louder for Matt Giteau and George Smith to return for this year’s Rugby World Cup. Despite potentially losing out on a spot in Australia’s 30-man World Cup squad to Smith, Waratahs captain Dave Dennis believes the dispensation for a select few loyal servants like the 111-Test flanker is a brilliant compromise. Smith, Giteau and fellow France-based former Wallabies star Drew Mitchell are the only three offshore players who currently meet the strict criteria of having played at least 60 Tests and seven years of professional rugby in Australia.

Kuridrani returns The Brumbies have been boosted by the return of Wallabies centre Tevita Kuridrani from injury as they attempt to get their Super Rugby campaign back on track against the Highlanders tonight. The hard-running Kuridrani hasn’t played since injuring his shoulder in the 28-13 loss to the NSW Waratahs on March 22. In his absence, the Australian conference leaders have lost two of three matches to give up much of their ladder advantage.

Older McKenzie on field After spending the season in the shadow of his younger brother, Marty McKenzie has earned the opening opportunity to fill Aaron Cruden’s boots. The older McKenzie brother has been named at No10 for the encounter with the Western Force tonight, the Chiefs’ first outing since Cruden was earlier in the week ruled out for the season with a knee injury. While 20-yearold Damian has enjoyed regular game time and received rave reviews in his rookie Super Rugby season, 22-year-old Marty has been rarely glimpsed in his maiden campaign with the Chiefs. - NZME

Global flavour at first-five

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Southern’s replenished depth gets put to the test against a resurgent Hampstead in round five of the Combined Country Cup rugby competition tomorrow.

Southern’s stocks have been bolstered with several new players coming to the club in the off-season, with plenty of competition for spots.

So much so that coach Jason Rickard has the option of running an English, Welsh or Scottish first-five.

Englishman Dan McNally is the incumbent, Scotsman Ewan Scott has returned to the club after a season in 2012 and slid into the midfield while James Miller is the newest international to set his sights on the pivot role.

Rickard also has Ryan Gaskell and Richard Fridd who can pull on the 10 jersey.

“It’s a good problem to have when they are all available,” Rickard said.

“This week is a different story.

“With so many guys unavailable our depth will certainly be tested.”

The backline will be unrecognisable missing Will Mackenzie, McNally (knee), Cam Sullivan, Matt Earl (hamstring), Ryan Williams and Fridd – leaving Josh McAtamney as the only starter to back up from the loss to Waihora.

Gaskell moves to halfback to pair with Miller and Scott returns at centre with the possibility of a loose forward having to shift into the midfield.

That might ease another area of contention for Rickard who is also spoilt for choice – especially at lock.

Southern already had Mid

Canterbury locks Eric Duff, Logan Bonnington, and Joel Hewson – and they now also have former MC Hammer Adam Ross.

With Hewson another on the unavailable list this week, Ross comes onto the bench after featuring for the senior B team last week.

Hampstead have had a similar problem this season.

Such is their depth that former Mid Canterbury representatives Manase Nonu and Sefo Maukaui have been running around for the B team.

Coming off a rare bonuspoint away win, Hampstead will

be full of confidence meeting a reshuffled Southern in Mayfield.

A key game in section two had the unbeaten Methven and Burnham-Dunsandel meet last night where Methven remained top of the table after getting up for the 23-9 win.

Elsewhere in section two Darfield face Saracens, Waihora are at home to Ashley at the bottom of the table Ohoka and Rolleston square off.

In section one the on-a-roll Rakaia continue to be hit with injuries as they chase a fourth successive win away to Kaiapoi.

Rakaia were sweating on the

fitness of their midfield combination with Seta Koroitamana (hip) missing last week’s win over Celtic, but was on hand to assist Nete Caucau (ankle) from the field late in the game.

Celtic will look to bounce back against a Glenmark side hurting from their first loss of the season at the hand of Southbridge.

Both teams will be out to regain their previous form and return to winning ways.

Frontrunners Southbridge host Prebbleton, fourth placed Oxford are at home to defending champions Lincoln and West Melton host Hornby.

Blues v Crusaders - the never-ending battle

By Patrick Mckendry

Hodgson boosts Force Western Force coach Michael Foley says the return of his skipper Matt Hodgson will provide some much-needed leadership as the team attempts to end their eight-match Super Rugby losing run. Hodgson will play his first game of the season in tonight’s clash with the Chiefs in New Zealand. The 33-year-old underwent hamstring surgery during the pre-season, but Foley says Hodgson is now fit and raring to go.

www.guardianonline.co.nz

Blues v Crusaders: Always head-on.

The Blues v the Crusaders rivalry was once the biggest on the Super Rugby landscape.

That rivalry carried on from the Auckland v Canterbury tradition in the 80s and 90s, a north v south divide that occasionally descended into poor taste - some of the signs paraded around the old Lancaster Park with regards to Carlos Spencer, the sometimes brilliant Auckland and Blues first-five, were distasteful in the extreme and the details

aren’t fit for repeating here.

But, with the Blues having undergone a form slump of 12 years without a Super Rugby title, does this rivalry still stack up?

The Chiefs and latterly the Highlanders have caught the imagination more in terms of recent success against the Crusaders, the most successful franchise in the competition with seven titles (the Blues are second equal with three), so how do recent results compare?

Pretty good, actually.

Last year is a case in point when the Crusaders shot out to a big lead over the Blues at Eden Park, only for the home side to roar back and humiliate the visitors.

John Kirwan’s men lost the return match in Christchurch 23-3.

Despite the more recent competitiveness of the Chiefs and Highlanders - not to mention the Hurricanes whom the Crusaders are yet to play this season - the Blues still offer a stern challenge to the red and blacks.

Baabaas at home The Ashburton Barbarians have their first home game in Canterbury Rugby League’s division one at Collegiate South tomorrow.

The Barbarians have a rematch with the Marist Saints – the side they lost the division two grand final to in overtime last year. The Barbarians opened their account with a 26-18 win over the Papanui Tigers last week, while the Saints also bounced back from a heavy round one defeat to register a win.

Rapira on the bench Veteran prop Sam Rapira is pleased to be back in the Warriors side for their Anzac Day clash with the Titans but he considers himself lucky to have been chosen ahead of numerous other front-row contenders.

Having finally shaken off a nagging hamstring injury, Rapira makes his first appearance in his 10th and final season with the Warriors before he departs for a stint with the Leeds Rhinos in the UK Super League at the end of the year.

Settled line-up for 1st XV

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

New coach, new season and a new competition, but almost the same old team.

The Ashburton College 1st XV kick off their UC Championship against Burnside in what is incoming coach Dave McCrea’s first official outing.

“You never know until the day but the way we trained this week I think they are more than ready for it,” McCrea said.

McCrea has been lucky enough to take over a side littered with Year 13 players with at least one year in the tough secondary school competition under their belt.

College registered two wins over UC Championship opposition in pre-season matches, beating Roncalli 14-12 and last weekend beat Marlborough Boys’ College 35-17 in Rangiora.

“They got a lot of confidence

from the win over Marlborough Boys’ and a lot of selfbelief that they will take into the first week.”

McCrea also has his full squad at his disposal for the first time after other commitments clashed with the preseason build-up.

Burnside should be a tough test first up at the Ashburton Showgrounds where College will be based this year.

They were a top eight side

last year and were crowned the South Island co-ed champions - a title held by Ashburton in 2013.

College will then have the second week of the 15 round competition off to regroup on the bye before a tough three-game stretch – at home to Christ’s College and then away to defending champions Christchurch Boys’ High School and 2014 runners-up Nelson College.

Tuivasa-Scheck could be Kiwis bolter

By DaviD skipwith The fitness of Kieran Foran will play a big part in the selection of the Kiwis for next week’s Anzac test in Brisbane but Roger Tuivasa-Sheck could be a shock selection in the No 6 jersey if the Manly pivot is missing through injury.

Other injury concerns over incumbent winger Jason Nightingale, centre Dean Whare and bench player Lewis Brown mean the Kiwis’ midfield, outside back, and utility options are also far from settled.

All four are expected to play

this weekend and what shape they emerge from those NRL games will have a large impact on the final make-up of coach Stephen Kearney’s squad.

With Benji Marshall effectively ruled out of contention

by Kearney, Thomas Leuluai looms as the obvious fiveeighth replacement if Foran is ruled out. But that is contingent on other players being available.

Brown was not included in the Panthers lineup to face Cronulla on Sunday but is tipped to be a late inclusion, leaving the door open for him

to retain his place in the Kiwis squad.

However, should he be ruled out, Leuluai would come into consideration for the utility role and the potential absence of Foran, together with the logjam of outside back contenders, could see Tuivasa-Sheck used closer to the action.

That would effectively leave Nightingale, Manu Vatuvei, Pita Hiku and Dallin WateneZelezniak battling for the wing and fullback positions, although Hiku has considerable experience at centre for Manly.

The prospect of having

Tuivasa-Sheck handling the ball more and being involved a number of times in each set must have some appeal to Kearney. He already contributes to the Sydney Roosters’ attack in the way a five-eighth does and is capable of splitting the defence or creating opportunities for those outside him.

Warriors fans would be interested to see how he links with halfback Shaun Johnson and five-eighth could be a position Tuivasa-Sheck plays more of later in his career, as the great Darren Lockyer managed to do.

- NZME

Round two in the stoush between Newcastle’s Beau Scott and North Queensland’s Johnathan Thurston appears back on, with the Knights’ NRL forward hinting at a return from injury. And Scott vowed to produce more of the same treatment that left Cowboys playmaker Thurston with a black eye - and North Queensland coach Paul Green fuming - in their last clash in March. Green said he expected Scott to run out in Saturday night’s clash in Newcastle despite the Knights’ enforcer not being named due to injury.

- AAP

‘Too much pressure’ Boom young Wests Tigers NRL halves Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses are being subjected to too much external pressure, according to their coach. Halfback Brooks and five-eighth Moses, both 20, have played just 29 and 17 first grade games respectively, going into tonight’s clash with Canterbury in Sydney. The former Australian Schoolboys representatives were tipped for big things even before breaking into first grade and have been targeted by opposing forwards. They have produced moments of brilliance this season, though both have been patchy. “I think there’s too much pressure put on them, that’s for sure,” Tigers coach Jason Taylor said yesterday. - AAP

Slump concerns Inglis Greg Inglis is refusing to buy into the Test fullback debate as he concentrates on helping to reignite South Sydney’s stuttering NRL title defence. With Billy Slater pushing to make an earlier than expected return from a shoulder injury for Melbourne on Saturday, Inglis is under pressure to retain the coveted No.1 jersey for Australia’s trans-Tasman showdown with New Zealand in Brisbane on Friday week. But Inglis’s more immediate concern is leading the Rabbitohs out of a mini form slump following three defeats in their past four games, including back-to-back losses to North Queensland and Cronulla.“Training’s been excellent, preparation’s been terrific. We just haven’t been performing on game day,” he said.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Any work/life balance tension experienced today will bring home the importance of being able to work smarter.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) The focus is shifting to walking the talk, with the means to turn a sense of what’s possible into something concrete and tangible.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Any financial tension today is providing some short but timely wakeup calls for both income and financial matters.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Any personal and/or relationship tension is a case of your personal alarm going off, especially if you’ve neglected to listen to your needs.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) There is a need to have your eyes open, head in the game and your warrior spirit engaged, ready to throw yourself into the things that excite you.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With your professional star on the rise having the right work/life balance has to be a priority, along with a need for a balance between work and play.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) With the Sun still in his early days in your financial sector you’re already waking up to the fact that you’re the master of your own financial destiny.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) There are clues to some bigger opportunities ahead, with life getting ready to become a lot more exciting.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) At a time when the money gods are focused on income matters, the Moon’s monthly visit to your financial sector is a mixed blessing.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Over the last few days you’ve gained better insight into both work and playful forces, but more importantly how to balance the two.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) While you’ve reached an important point in an important week for home and family matters there’s also a need to have your work hat on today.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) You’re finding the confidence and courage to venture beyond simply making sure the communication lines are open.

Time for All Whites ‘wannabes’ to stand up and be counted All Whites coach Anthony Hudson has announced a “transition date” when his youthful playerselection experiments will stop and a full-strength New Zealand squad will take shape.

Hudson plans to “draw a line in the sand” at the end of July, after the Fifa Under-20 World Cup in New Zealand and the Under-23 Olympic qualifiers in Papua New Guinea, when he will know which youth players

are capable of helping the All Whites qualify for the World Cup in Russia.

But until then, his eyes are wide open.

And yesterday, at an intimate question and answer session with local media, Hudson offered a plea for any young wannabes to stand up and be counted.

“If you’re under 23 and you haven’t shown us enough by the end of these two competi-

Cook closing in on Gooch’s record P16

tions, we can’t invest time into you for the All Whites for this campaign.

“If I’m a young, ambitious player who wants to play at the highest level, this is a really important time.”

Hudson surprised many observers by leaving an experienced group including Tommy Smith, Glen Moss, Andrew Durante, Shane Smeltz, Jeremy Brockie and Tim Payne behind

on the All Whites’ most recent trip to South Korea, but then said the depth and competition created by bringing through younger players has been invaluable.

And when the All Whites next get together in September, against yet-to-be confirmed opposition, that will all change.

“Before it was about giving players a game, looking at players in different environments

and ... we won’t be doing that now. We will be picking players we think will be with us for the remainder of the campaign.”

Hudson has hung his hat on “alignment” across all levels since taking over as All Whites boss eight months ago, and wants the New Zealand under17s, under-20s and All Whites all playing in the same style, so that transition between the teams is easy.
