Teachers kicked, bitten by pupils BY DAISY HUDSON
DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Hammers keep shield P17
Teachers are not being adequately prepared for the increasingly complex behavioural problems they are facing in the classroom, according to an Ashburton principal. The behaviour of primary school pupils hit the headlines this week after a North Island principal claimed children as young as five were kicking and biting their teachers at the slightest provocation. While that may come as a shock to many parents, Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy says not only is it an issue in the district, but teachers are leaving ter-
tiary education not fully equipped to cope with it. “Schools are increasingly having to meet the demands of complex social behaviours,” he said. “It definitely does stretch school resources.” Teachers’ college did not adequately prepare teachers for life in a modern classroom, he said. “You are all things, to all people, all the time,” he said. However in general, he believed Mid Canterbury was “better off ” than some other centres in terms of extreme behaviour. Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose also believed behavioural
problems were increasingly challenging. “I think if you asked around the community those sorts of things do happen, and in a range of schools,” he said. “Teaching is no longer just about standing up in front of the classroom and delivering the curriculum.” While a school’s “core business” was still academic, they did not work in isolation from the family or the needs of the student, he said.

Economist drops the ‘f-bomb’ An economist has caused quite a stir after he dropped the ‘f-bomb’ on television yesterday. Economist Shamubeel Eaqub was speaking about immigration policy on TVNZ’s Q+A programme when he let the word slip. “You know, you’ve got to have a bit of balance here, and I know Winston [Peters] in particular has a big thing about family reunification, get f****** real.” The outburst caused laughs from a surprised Michael Parkin, and fellow guests Don Brash and Paul Spooney. Soon after, Parkin said, “we’ll await our complaint from the BSA”. Parkin later commented on Twitter: “That was flirting with disaster @SEaqub, the last person I had swearing on camera ended up on dancing with the stars.”

INSIDE TODAY Panda cub born at Washington’s Zoo A rare giant panda called Mei Xiang (below) has given birth to a cub at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington. “Panda cub born at 5:34pm live on panda cam,” the National Zoo said on Twitter at the weekend. The zoo had 24 minutes earlier posted a short video of Mei Xiang’s waters breaking in her small birthing enclosure. A live video stream from the straw-lined cage appeared to have crashed, probably owing to a high volume of viewers, the zoo said. The new mother was artificially inseminated in April with frozen semen from a male giant panda named Hui Hui that resides at the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda in Sichuan province. She was also inseminated with fresh semen from the zoo’s male giant panda Tian Tian. DNA tests will establish the father. Mei Xiang exhibited signs of pregnancy in July that included sleeping more, eating less, building a nest and spending more time in her den. Besides Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, the National Zoo is home to their female cub Bao Bao, who turns two today. Her brother Tai Shan, born in 2005, is in China. On Tuesday, Malaysia announced that a giant panda at its National Zoo, Liang Liang, had given birth. The newborn’s sex has yet to be determined.

Time running out for Lotto winner The clock is ticking for a mystery Aucklander who has won $1 million in Lotto. It has been almost one year since the winning ticket was purchased at Pam’s Corner Dairy in Glenfield on September 6. But the hefty first division ticket prize is yet to be claimed, Lotto said. All tickets are valid for 12 months from the date of the draw - meaning the lucky Kiwi has just two weeks to claim the cash. Anyone who bought a ticket from the Glenfield dairy for the 2014 draw should check it immediately at any Lotto outlet, Lotto said. This weekend’s Lotto, Powerball and Strike have jackpotted, meaning there is a combined prize pool of $8.3 million up for grabs next weekend.

Queen to enter history books The Queen will soon make history when she becomes the longest reigning British monarch. On September 9 she will pass the record set by her great-greatgrandmother Queen Victoria who, Buckingham Palace has calculated, reigned for 23,226 days, 16 hours and 23 minutes. Historian Dr Kate Williams described the length of the Queen’s reign as a great source of strength for the monarch. “It’s a very significant milestone. The Queen will become the longest reigning British monarch in history. She came to the throne when she was older than Victoria. Victoria was only 18,” Dr Williams said. “It shows that our female monarchs last the longest. The Queen’s longevity is a great source of her strength and popularity. She has lived through World War Two and throughout the 20th century. Many people will not have known a different monarch.” Queen Victoria, who died in 1901, acceded to the throne on June 20, 1837 and became the figurehead of a vast empire amid great industrial, cultural and scientific changes to society. Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II when she was 25 on the death of her father King George VI on February 6, 1952.

A shock for cracker lovers Kiwis who consider crackers to be a healthy snack may be shocked to hear some of their crunchy favourites are higher in salt and fat than certain potato chips. A survey of 90 types of cracker by Consumer New Zealand found that only one achieved five out of five stars when using the Australian Department of Health’s rating system. The variety that ranked the highest - and therefore healthiest - in the survey was Ryvita’s Wholegrain Rye Crispbread with Pumpkin Seeds. A 100 gram serving of the cracker contained 1.3g of saturated fat and 240mg of sodium. Coming in at second place with 4.5 stars were Real Foods Corn Thins Multigrain, Arnott’s VitaWeat Original Crispbread and Vita-Weat 9 Grains Crispbread. At the bottom of the pile, achieving only half a star, were Huntley & Palmers Cheese Crackers in cheese and chives flavour, and Griffin’s Original Snax Crackers.

■ ALCOHOL INTERLOCK DEVICES
■ DRUG TESTING
Call for review over alcohol interlock devices
Workers failing tests
BY DAISY HUDSON
DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
The sparing use of alcohol interlock device orders in Ashburton has prompted calls for a nationwide review. Cost and a lack of understanding about the benefits of the devices have been floated as two possible reasons for the lack of orders, with both the AA and politicians suggesting more support needs to be given to improve the system. According to information released by the Ministry of Justice under the Official Information Act, there were no alcohol interlock device orders made in the Ashburton District Court between September 2012 and
December 2014. The devices are fitted to a vehicle and require the driver to breathe into it before starting the vehicle. It analyses the breath sample and if alcohol is detected, the vehicle will not start. The AA has called for mandatory interlock sentences for all repeat and high-level first time drink drivers, as well as financial support to help offenders meet the costs of having a device fitted. According to device provider Smart Start, a device will cost users $150 to $175 per month. AA Canterbury/West Coast District chairperson John Skevington said the alcohol in-
terlock programme had been a failure nationwide. “It worked so well overseas, but there seems to be a lack of knowledge in the judicial system of the benefits of it,” he said. “We’ll be discussing it at our national council meeting in Wellington in September.” Ashburton lawyer Paul Bradford said cost could be a barrier to some people opting to use the device. That cost could also be doubled or tripled if they had to have a device installed in more than one vehicle, he said. Labour’s Justice spokeswoman Jacinda Ardern said if cost was proving to be a barrier to
the devices being used, that needed to be addressed. “They are devices that I think there are some value in, or there appears to be some value in, but we’re not going to know until we start to use them,” she said. “The expense to the taxpayer, let alone the risk posed by those who continually break the law, far outweighs the cost of these devices.” Associate Transport Minister Craig Foss said the Ministry of Transport is currently leading an inter-agency review of sanctions for drink-driving, and the alcohol interlock programme is being considered as part of that review.
■ MT HUTT
Keas not the culprit Mt Hutt’s resident keas were wrongly accused of causing the shutdown of the Summit Six chairlift on Saturday. The lift went down late in the afternoon and a post on Mt Hutt’s Facebook page blamed the mischievous mountain parrots. “Our Summit Six chair went down late this afternoon due to our destructive little kea buddies. All good though as no birds were harmed in this joint operation. CCTV footage has just been released now and we are currently looking for one bird in particular. Later he was spotted removing aerials from mountain work vehicles which cost $105 per time . . .” However, ski area manager
James McKenzie said keas had not caused the problem with the lift, although the resident population of six to 10 birds had been busy vandalising vehicles. “They seem to like new vehicles, the rubber gives off a stronger smell which attracts them, they do cause a bit of damage but they are not capable of stopping the lift – I hope,” Mr McKenzie said. Aside from the inconvenience of the chairlift being out of action for a couple of hours, skiers and boarders enjoyed a stellar weekend on the mountain. “We haven’t had a lot of good weekends this season so it was fantastic, we could do with a few more of these before we close in six weeks,” Mr McKenzie said.
Mt Hutt’s resident keas have been busy vandalising vehicles at the skifield.
Up to a quarter of construction workers on some Christchurch building sites are failing drug tests while 7.5 per cent of those in the construction sector in Canterbury are also failing. Karen Woolf works as a clinical nurse for Triex, the company that conducts drug tests. Ms Woolf said as much as 20 to 25 per cent of tests were now coming back as non-negative. She said while cannabinoids were usually the reason workers failed these tests, an increasing amount were now failing due to the use of methamphetamines. - NZME
Teachers kicked by pupils From P1 Ministry of Education associate deputy secretary of student achievement Lesley Hoskin said the ministry provided additional resources to schools that employed beginning teachers so that they are able to support their development to meet the practising teacher criteria. “What is changing is the use of new technologies for teaching and learning, together with new approaches to the building or use of classrooms that create new ways to teach and learn,” she said. “These changes present opportunities for the whole of the teaching profession, not just beginning teachers.”

■ DAIRY PRICE SLUMP
Helping dairy clients cope By Michelle NelsoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz
Mid Canterbury rural professionals have been co-opted by the Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust to help clients cope with the dairy price slump. While GlobalDairyTrade prices recouped by 15 per cent last week, there may still be a long recovery ahead, Tavendale and Partners lawyer Tim Silva says. Mr Silva has been involved with the Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust for a number of years as a co-ordinator and more recently as a trustee. The trust has historically focused on responding to natural events such as heavy snows, windstorms and earthquakes. However, the Ministry for Primary Industries has asked it to also act as a conduit to the ru-
ral community for welfare and well-being related services. “We are in the process of developing our welfare-related support network and recruiting a welfare officer, who will act as a first port of call for people under stress,” Mr Silva said. In the interim Mr Silva has circulated MPI brochures and information to rural professionals to hand on to clients. “We have a close-knit group of outstanding rural professionals across Mid Canterbury,” he said. “By working collaboratively with other rural professionals, we have the opportunity to provide a comprehensive network to support our people through the short-term challenges they face.” Right now a lot of dairy farmers are enjoying the dis-
traction of calving, normally viewed as one of the tougher times of the year. “A lot of farmers I’ve talked to are relishing being out in the paddock and in the shed working. The weather has certainly helped in that regard. “They are away from their budgets and the headlines, but we are slightly concerned about what might happen after calving when people are tired and the reality of another tough season ahead comes home to roost. “It’s important to ensure that our networks are in place and functioning well by the time calving is over.” Although dairy farmers face tough times in the short-term, Mr Silva is confident about the fundamentals of the dairying industry and the resilience of
rural people. “While being realistic about the current pressures, it’s important we remain positive. There have been two pieces of positive news recently with the lift in the last GDT auction and also the relaxing of some of Russia’s NZ milk product restrictions. There is also some good industry leader commentary to support the view that the current downturn is cyclic rather than structural.” Mr Silva is also impressed with the response of banks and farmers to support sharemilkers who are likely to be at most risk.

■ HOSPICE MID CANTERBURY
In brief Hunt for escapee Escapee criminal Michael George Mulligan who cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet should not pose a danger to the public, police say. Southland police have been hunting 30-year-old Mulligan since Friday night. He is believed to be in the Invercargill city area. Mulligan, who was ordered to wear an electronic bracelet as part of his bail conditions, is the latest in a string of criminals to go on the run after giving their tracking device the slip. He was charged with attacking Timaru meatworker Turere Timo - who said he was hospitalised with several stab wounds - with a knife during a fight in 2008. Officers were still making e=inquiries in Invercargill in an attempt to locate Mulligan, he said. - NZME
Suspended after fight A Serco staff member at Mt Eden prison has been suspended after being caught fighting an inmate. Footage of the incident was discovered as part of a review into the prison being carried out after allegations of fight clubs between inmates and drug smuggling. A spokeswoman for Serco, a private British company that was contracted to operate the prison, confirmed an officer had been suspended, pending a disciplinary hearing. The Corrections Department has taken control of the Mt Eden Corrections Facility, which was being operated by private company Serco, following allegations of fight clubs and drug smuggling. - NZME
Teachers exposed Teachers and principals have seemingly been exposed in the affair website hacking scandal. Email addresses from 65 New Zealand schools are in data leaked from controversial adultery website Ashley Madison, prompting calls for an investigation into whether staff were using the website during school time. A Herald on Sunday search of the estimated 22,000 New Zealanders among the dump of hacked data from the Canadabased website has revealed 77 email addresses purported to be from 65 schools. - NZME

Mobile massage no longer a dream By caitliN Porter
caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz
Hospice Mid Canterbury’s dream of running a massage and counselling service has come to fruition thanks to a $20,000 grant from the Community Trust of Mid and South Canterbury for the provision of the service and a $500 donation from Business Network International New Zealand (BNI).
The mobile massage service will be accessible for people who are terminally ill, and their carers in Mid Canterbury. Jane Wright of the Hospice Mid Canterbury Trust said mobile massage would help address social isolation for people who live remotely and increase the range of services and support available for people. The main objective of the
service would be to relieve stress, tension and anxiety associated with dealing with lifelimiting illnesses, Mrs Wright said. Relaxation massage not only improves general relaxation and relieves muscular tension but it can also improve circulation, aid digestion and provide comfort. Experienced local physiotherapist Jane Eaton is
being contracted by Hospice Mid Canterbury to provide the service. But as the service progresses, further therapists will be contracted, Mrs Wright said. Hospice Mid Canterbury Trust is still working on its referral process and setting up a contact number, but anyone with questions can contact Mrs Wright.
Close to 7000 applications from first-home buyers have been made for new housing subsidies worth up to $20,000. Housing and Building Minister Nick Smith said the number of people accessing Government support for a deposit on a house had doubled since new larger HomeStart subsidies were introduced on April 1. The scheme was expanded to give singles or couples on modest incomes grants of between $3000 and $20,000, depending on how long they have contributed to KiwiSaver and whether the house is a new build. - NZME

Mid Cantabrians living with dementia who have a tendency to wander could soon have more help if they get lost. Tracking devices – called WanderTrak – can quickly locate people who are lost. They are available in Canterbury, however only a small number of people use them. They can be worn like a pendant or watch and have a beacon, which when activated notifies police and Land Search and Rescue. Christchurch Land Search and Rescue volunteer Margie Sharkey works closely with Alzheimer’s Canterbury to distribute and maintain the pendants, but said with the creation of a trust many more people could benefit. Mrs Sharkey said only one person in Ashburton uses the device, and a further 26 people in the rest of Canterbury. However in places like Auckland, over 200 people have the pendants. If Canterbury had one entity that managed the service, such as a trust, more people could use the devices, she said. Alzheimer’s Canterbury manager Darral Campbell said one of the biggest issues with the devices was funding. Currently there is no national funding, or management, for the device. Methven Search and Rescue chairman
The Allenton Kea pack took over Radio Hokanui last week to get the lowdown on radio’s role as an essential service in emergencies from host Peter Mac. To obtain their Techno badges the children must learn about a household service. “What could be more fun than learning about the radio - an everyday service but essential in times of crisis,” Totara leader Nicci Glanville said. The keas talked with Peter, sang a much loved campfire song and Mrs Glanville was interviewed. The three segments were recorded for broadcast. “The staff at Hokanui Radio station were fantastic with the kea and answered all the questions they had,” Mrs Glanville said. “As a big thank you Peter was presented our group badges which he wore with pride.” Allenton Keas are a group of boys and girls aged 5½ to 8 years old and are part of the Scouting New Zealand programme.

In brief Trapped in lift One person was trapped in a lift after a transformer caught fire outside Eden Park yesterday. Fire Service spokesman Paul Radden said four appliances were called to the Mt Eden incident at 12pm. He said a transformer outside Eden Park had caught fire but had self-extinguished by the time firefighters arrived. “I can confirm it was just one person trapped in the lift due to the power outage and they were subsequently rescued by Fire Service staff,” Mr Radden said. - NZME
Fire in Square Fire fighters attended a blaze in Cathedral Square in Christchurch. Six fire trucks were called to the scene, about 12.23pm, southern fire communications shift manager Brent Dunn said. He said fire service initially believed the roof of a building, near the old Bank of New Zealand building in Cathedral Square, was on fire. However, upon arrival, fire fighters discovered an old couch was on fire, he said.

Champion Tech boys reunite The team of ’73 was back together again over the weekend, talking rugby and recalling the glory days when the Tech Old Boys senior team was king of the turf. Back in 1973, the Tech boys reigned supreme, taking every trophy available that year and amassing a mighty tally of points on the board. The club’s long gone – it amalgamated with Old Boys to
form Collegiate – but the men who made up that winning team have hung together. They might not see one another very often, but when there’s a chance of a reunion anyone who can, makes the effort to attend. Event organiser Rod Hayes said there were just six faces missing from the team, reserves and officials at the weekend’s reunion.
He decided Saturday’s Hanan Shield match was the perfect opportunity to put out a call for the boys to come home. And while their celebration might have been a far cry from the post match parties of 42 years ago, the rugby diehards still celebrated in style. And in recognition of their feat, winning the Watters Cup, White Cup, Young Trophy and seven-a-side trophy in one year,
the Mid Canterbury Rugby Union gave the boys their own dedicated section of the stand for the weekend’s big match. Tech’s record-breaking year saw the team play 17 matches, winning 15 and drawing two, accumulating 494 points across tries, conversions, penalties and dropped goals for 176 against. Top scorer Rod Hayes logged 197 points on his own account.

More options with new fishing licences Freshwater anglers now have nine ways to catch a fish with Fish and Game’s new season trout and salmon licences. The new options were introduced following angler surveys. “Fish and Game has listened to anglers and the result is that there are now nine different licence options available, from the premium whole season licence covering New Zealand, to a nine day licence and one for a single day’s fishing,” Fish and Game communications manager Don Rood said. “And in some cases, those li-
cences will be cheaper than before,” he said. The new fishing season begins on October 1 and the licences went on sale last week, online and in accredited sports shops and other outlets. “All people have to do is review the new licence options, decide which one is the best fit for them, go online and a few clicks later they will have their licence ordered in plenty of time,” Mr Rood said. “Our whole season adult licence is still the premium product, providing superb value and
flexibility – a year’s worth of fishing anywhere in the country, except Taupo where Department of Conservation administers the fishery. “We believe the four new licences on offer will have strong appeal to different groups, whether they are long-time veterans, newbies or folk planning their summer holidays.” The old 24-hour licence has been rebranded as a one-day licence and is now a little cheaper at $20, great for the first time angler giving it a go, or someone going out with a guide or
on a charter boat. For those who fish close to home there is the local area licence. Veteran anglers over 65 who have held a whole season licence for at least the last five years in a row are eligible for a loyal senior licence. Both the local area and loyal senior licences are cheaper than the premium whole season licence. The short break (three day) and long break (nine day) licences add more options. Children under the age of 12 are entitled to a free fishing licence.
A man found loitering in an industrial Christchurch yard was arrested after allegedly attacking a police officer and trying to choke and break a police dog’s leg. Christchurch Police Senior Sergeant Craig Scott said the incident occurred in Horby around 6.30am yesterday. The 20-yearold man was traced by an officer with a police dog after reports of his suspicious behaviour in the industrial part of town, Mr Scott said. He then attacked the handler and the dog - trying to choke the dog and then bending its leg with the aim of snapping it, he said. Both the dog and the handler escaped without injury, Mr Scott said. - NZME
Stabbing Whangarei police are appealing for public help after a 69-year-old man was stabbed multiple times in the city on Saturday night. The man is in Whangarei Hospital in a stable condition with multiple knife wounds after police say he was stabbed by at least one assailant in a park on Riverside Dr, Whangarei. A detective said the man, who was wearing a distinctive yellow raincoat, was walking towards town when he was attacked and stabbed several times near a small riverside park. - NZME
Homicide scare Police feared what lay in wait for them at a Milton shearers’ quarters after reports of a possible homicide sparked an armed police response. Three armed police officers rushed to the Arthur St address about 1am yesterday after multiple reports of a homicide and two other stab victims, CluthaTaieri area response manager Senior Sergeant Alastair Dickie said. Those reports turned out to be false, but police found two men assaulted at the scene. Back-up from Balclutha, Mosgiel and a Dunedin dog team were earlier requested and an ambulance was placed on standby. Armed offenders squad members were not called for because of the urgency of the situation. - NZME

Workers’ safety net Stu Oldham
EDITOR
T
he Workplace Relations Minister has established unwarranted, arguably political distinctions between industries with new, patchilyapplied safety rules. Michael Woodhouse spent the past week defending the Health and Safety Reform Bill and a risk classification system that excludes some demonstrably dangerous work. It leaves dairy, sheep, cattle, beef, deer and grain farming off the list of high-risk industries that cannot opt out of the requirement to have a workplace health and safety representative. Conversely, the likes of lavender growing, rabbit and worm farming and cat breeding are deemed high risk and must have a worker representative if workers ask for it. On some levels, this makes sense: a local cat breeder and deer farmer knew of breeders who’d had trips to the hospital but suggested local deer industry injuries may be rare. Lawmakers have considered rarity using incident rates, in which any industry with a fatality rate greater than 25 per 100,000 workers, or a serious injury rate of more than 25 per 1000 workers, is deemed high risk. Incident rates are a useful measure of risk but the raw numbers for some industries should be alarming enough to suggest an opt out clause should not be an option. It has been reported that there were, nationally, 39 deaths in dairy farming in the past five years and 24 in sheep, beef, cattle and grain farming. But these are big industries and the figures translate to rates that are lower than the rate needed to be high-risk. They are, however, big numbers. Of course these sectors take safety seriously and their representative bodies have good programmes and support in place to further reduce incident rates. But it is hard to see why these industries should be treated any different to the many other objectively dangerous sectors also committed to workplace safety. Mr Woodhouse is in danger of presiding over legislation that sends a signal that some sectors deserve different treatment, reinforcing the claim the exclusions are about politics, not safety.

Youth Parliament has been meeting regularly since 1994.
Youth Parliament 2016. Youth Parliament has been meeting regularly since 1994 and was first held to mark the 20th anniversary of the lowering of the voting age to 18 years. The inaugural Youth Parliament was a short event that involved young people coming to Parliament for an education day. Due to the success of the event, Cabinet invited the Minister of Youth Affairs to hold a Youth Parliament every three years from 1997. This was particularly relevant as it
was the first year of a Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) government. After Youth Parliament 1997, the next events were held about every three years with the 2004 event coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the first sitting of Parliament and the 30th anniversary of the lowering of the voting age. Youth Parliament is as close as possible to the real thing. It is an opportunity for young New Zealanders to influence government decision-making as active citizens and have their

very three years New Zealand holds a Youth Parliament. A youth MP is selected by each Member of Parliament to experience firsthand how decisions are made that impact all of New Zealand. Youth Parliament will be held at Parliament in Wellington on July 19-20 next year and applications for a Rangitata Youth MP are open until September 4. I have sent information packs to both Ashburton College and Mount Hutt College, along with the secondary schools in the South Canterbury part of the Rangitata electorate, and asked them to nominate one candidate each for me to consider. I want to hear from young people who are willing to get out and engage with the youth in their community to gather their views and represent them in Parliament. Nominated Youth MPs will hold the title from January 25 to July 25, 2016. They are expected to engage with their community during this time, so all New Zealand youth have the opportunity to have their voice heard. This triennial event gives young people the opportunity to understand and be a part of the Parliamentary process. It will be a significant opportunity for 121 young New Zealanders to gather the views of their peers and bring the youth voice to Parliament. I’m looking for a young person who resides in the Rangitata electorate. The nominee must be aged 16–18 years old (inclusive) on October 16, 2015, be active in their community, passionate about youth issues, politics and/or social change and representative of the diversity of New Zealand’s youth population. They must also be able to seek the views, opinions and ideas of their peers and represent them at Youth Parliament 2016 and prepared to work within the protocols and behavioural expectations of

■ FRANCE
Gunman questioned Authorities are interrogating a suspected jihadist gunman who was overpowered by passengers on a packed AmsterdamParis train. The alleged attacker, named as 25-year-old Moroccan national Ayob El Khazzani, opened fire with an assault rifle at the weekend, but was wrestled to the floor by three American passengers who have been hailed as heroes. The shooting, which underlined the difficulties faced by intelligence services tracking an unprecedented number of potential jihadists, is expected to lead to tighter security for international train services in Europe. Armed with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, a Luger automatic pistol, nine cartridge clips and a box-cutter, the attacker opened fire on board the high-speed train just after it crossed from Belgium into northern France. A French passenger tried to disarm Khazzani as he left a toilet cubicle, but he got away and fired several shots. Then a Franco-American traveller in his 50s clashed with the man and was shot and wounded. But the attack was quickly stopped when two offduty US servicemen and their friend charged the gunman and restrained him. “I looked back and saw a guy enter with a Kalashnikov. My friends and I got down and then I said ‘Let’s get him’,” Alek
Help on its way More than 70 Australian firefighters will make their way to the United States to help American counterparts battle more than 100 wildfires across the country. The group left for Idaho from Sydney Airport yesterday and includes 20 officers from Victoria, 18 from NSW, nine from WA, four from ACT, three from South Australia, two from Queensland and 15 from New Zealand. Once in Idaho, crews will be directed to areas experiencing large wildfires burning out of control across California, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington. - AAP

Skarlatos, a 22-year-old member of the National Guard in Oregon who recently returned from Afghanistan, said. Spencer Stone, 23, who serves in the US Air Force, was first to the gunman, who slashed him in the neck and almost sliced off his thumb with a box-cutter. “At that point I showed up and grabbed the gun from him and basically started beating him in the head until he fell unconscious,” said Skarlatos. His friend Anthony Sadler, a 23-year-old student at Sacramento State University, and
a British business consultant, Chris Norman, then helped keep the man subdued. Norman, 62, said he thought the suspect’s gun may have jammed, preventing more bloodshed. “My first reaction was to hide but ... my thought was I’m probably going to die anyway, I’d rather die being active, trying to get him down than simply sit in the corner and be shot,” he said. “I don’t feel like a hero. If it wasn’t for Spencer, I think we would all be dead.”
With the man floored, Skarlatos left to search for more gunmen, while Norman helped tie up the attacker with his tie. Despite his own injuries, Stone then went to help the man who had been shot in the shoulder. Both were hospitalised but are said to be recovering well, and Stone was released later on Saturday after surgery on his hand. Khazzani was finally arrested when the train with 554 passengers aboard stopped at Arras station in northern France. - AFP
■ MACEDONIA
Macedonia allows in 1500 migrants More than 1500 mostly Syrian refugees, trapped in a no-man’s land for three days, have entered Macedonia from Greece after police allowed them to pass despite earlier trying to hold back the crowd using stun grenades. The weekend dash across the border was the latest dramatic chapter in Europe’s migrant crisis, and came as another 3000 migrants were rescued in waters off Libya - in one of the largest single-day rescue operations yet in the Mediterranean. Some 104,000 migrants and refugees have landed on Italian shores so far this year, while Greece has seen an influx of around 150,000 people, according to the International Organisation for Migration. More than 2300 people have died trying to make the dangerous journey. On Macedonia’s southern

border with Greece, police had earlier used stun grenades and batons in response to hundreds of refugees trying to break through barbed wire fencing, before apparently deciding to let everyone cross into the Balkan nation. By late evening not a single
person remained in the strip of no-man’s land at the border where more than 2000 people, including women and children, had been stuck without proper shelter since Thursday. Most of the migrants were headed straight for the station in the nearby town of Gevgelija
in the hopes of catching a train towards Serbia, from where they aim to eventually reach the European Union to start a new life. Macedonia declared a state of emergency on Thursday over the influx at its border and twice resorted to force to prevent people from entering in recent days, resulting in a few light injuries. Thousands more refugees and migrants, mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, are expected to arrive in Macedonia in the coming days after being ferried to the Greek mainland from the islands. In the border town of Gevgelija, extra trains have been laid on to deal with the spike in passengers. It takes around four hours by train to reach Tabanovce on Macedonia’s northern border with Serbia, some 180km away. - AFP
At least 14 inmates have been killed in fighting between two factions of a notorious gang in an El Salvador prison. The killings happened in Quezaltepeque prison, north of the capital San Salvador yesterday and are linked to an internal dispute involving the Barrio 18 gang, a spokesman for the presidency said. The deaths underline how gang violence has made El Salvador one of the most dangerous countries in the world. On Wednesday, police said there were at least 125 murders in just three days, a staggering toll even by El Salvador’s standards. - AFP
China blast kills one An explosion at a chemical plant in east China has killed one person and injured nine people with 150 firefighters battling the blaze. The blast comes after 121 people were killed in massive explosions earlier this month at a hazardous goods storage facility in the northern port city of Tianjin. The incident occurred at a plant in Huantai county near the city of Zibo in Shangdong province, Xinhua news agency said. The fire was extinguished yesterday, Xinhua reported. Earlier it said firefighters from neighbouring cities were heading to help tackle the blaze. The cause of the fire is still being investigated. - AFP

After fleeing the prison the men allegedly assaulted a man at sporting complex in Leeming while trying to steal his car keys. A police dog later tracked one of the escapees to the backyard of a nearby property where he was taken into custody. - AFP

Airshow crash death toll 7 Seven people are dead and a pilot is in a critical condition after a historic military jet crashed into a busy road at an airshow on the English seaside. Authorities are warning there may be more bodies found as investigators and emergency services continue to search the scene of Saturday’s Shoreham Airshow plane crash.
The Hawker Hunter jet plummeted on to the road in West Sussex after it failed to pull out of a loop manoeuvre. The pilot is in a critical condition, police said. Another 14 people were injured after the jet crashed at around 1.20pm, shortly after it began its display. Horrified onlookers described
seeing the plane flying low to the ground followed by a “huge ball of fire and black smoke”. Footage of the crash posted online showed the jet carrying out a loop manoeuvre high in the air but smashing into the road in a huge fireball after it failed to pull up in time. “As far as we are aware all those who sadly lost their lives
were on the road, and it was nobody within the air show perimeter on the actual airport,” a police spokeswoman said. “It is possible that tonight and tomorrow we are going to find more bodies at the scene.” Photographs taken by witnesses showed the burning aircraft ploughing across the busy road just metres from cars and
a group of people, its cockpit canopy open and wing ablaze, engulfing traffic lights, roadwork cones and signs in a huge ball of fire. Organisers cancelled yesterday’s air show and the Royal Air Forces Association secretary general Nick Bunting said it was “too early to speculate” about the future of the event. - PA

Another 3000 migrants rescued
At least 16 people have been injured in clashes in central Beirut between Lebanese security forces and demonstrators calling for a solution to weeks of uncollected rubbish. Thousands of people rallied at the weekend to protest against the government’s inability to clean up the capital and other parts of Lebanon where the streets are overflowing with rubbish. Organised by the “You Stink” campaign, the demonstrators gathered in Riad al-Solh Square near the parliament building and chanted slogans against the government and political leaders.

Italy’s coastguard has co-ordinated the rescue of about 3000 migrants in the Mediterranean after receiving distress calls from more than 20 overcrowded vessels drifting in waters off Libya. One of the biggest singleday rescue operations to date appeared to have been concluded without any reports of casualties. Two navy ships, the Cigala Fulgosi and the Vega, picked up, respectively, 507 and 432 migrants from two wooden boats in danger of sinking just off Libya, the navy said. The coastguard said its patrol boats had boarded a total of nearly 1000 people from various unseaworthy fishing boats and inflatables that had
vent people from approaching parliament. Demonstrators tried to pull down the barricades in an attempt to storm parliament and security forces retaliated with tear gas and water cannons. Some protesters were also beaten with batons. “There are now at least 16 people who are wounded in total,” a Red Cross official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. He could not specify how many were in critical condition or what types of injuries they had sustained. The “You Stink” campaign has staged several protests calling for a comprehensive solution to the waste problem that erupted after Lebanon’s largest landfill closed on July 17. - AFP
left Libya overnight FridaySaturday. At least another 1000 rescued migrants and refugees were reported to be headed for Italian ports on other boats as the wave of new arrivals triggered increasingly virulent attacks on centre-left Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s handling of the migration crisis. “This must a joke. We are using our own forces to do the people smugglers’ business for them and ensure we are invaded,” Maurizio Gasparri, a senator for Silvio Berlusconi’s centre-right Forza Italia party, said. The populist leader of the anti-immigration Northern League, Matteo Salvini, called on the government to park the
migrants on disused Italian oil rigs off Libya. “Help them, rescue them and take care of them: but don’t let them land here,” he wrote on his Facebook page. The rescued migrants included a batch of 311, including a new-born baby, who were on a boat belonging to humanitarian group Doctors without Borders (MSF), which is expected to dock on Monday in Vibo Valentia in Calabria, according to port authorities there. A further 370 had been picked up by the Italian customs police and were headed for Messina in Sicily, and the Norwegian boat Siem Pilot was also carrying hundreds of people to port. - AFP

Glamping in Yellowstone Park
Yellowstone Under Canvas, bringing a bit of glamour to the camping experience.
I
planned our trip to Yellowstone National Park at the last minute, and my family were divided over whether we should camp or stay in a hotel or cabin. In the end, we couldn’t find either. Everything was booked. With visions of us trying to pitch a tent in the dark next to angry bison, I reluctantly coughed up $US150 a night at the only place I could find that was not an overpriced motel: Yellowstone Under Canvas, a “glamping site” a few kilometres outside the park’s west entrance. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Glamping – a blended word for glamorous camping – was something I knew existed but had never considered trying. Why pay for something you can basically do for free? While the website showed canvas tents housing everything from cots to down comforter-covered beds, the woman who booked our reservation sounded more like a hotel concierge. She offered us a rundown of activities, with honest, helpful reviews, and ended up booking us a basic “tipi” with four cots and an afternoon on horseback at a nearby ranch.
Left with no other option and not wanting to rough it by camping, Traci Carl decided to give glamping a go and was left pleasantly surprised. I told my family I found a camping spot and left it at that. The girls, ages 5 and 9, love roughing it. My husband loves not paying hotel prices. I loved the idea that I wouldn’t have to pack, set up camp or even cook. (The tents do not allow food because it attracts wildlife, including bears. Campers dine at a great restaurant housed in a nearby lodge.) The night before we arrived, my daughter got a stomach bug that had run its course with the rest of the family. The next morning, the prospect of camping seemed bleak. I called Yellowstone Under Canvas and explained the situation. Despite the fact it was high season and our reservations were non-refundable, they promised to work with us and give us our money back, if needed. I came clean and told my family what we paid and what to expect: cots with sleeping bags, pillows and separate but heated bathrooms with warm water, towels and shampoo.
My daughter rallied so we went ahead with the trip. When we arrived, it was rainy and cold. Lightning flickered in nearby mountains. I expected whining, but the children were excited and gladly got out of the car. When we got to our tent, I discovered a small tear in the fabric. I asked the front desk – really just another tent – for tape to repair it and they upgraded us to a tent with king-size bed, dresser and wood-burning stove. The children and my husband were thrilled. As night fell, my husband built a fire and we fell into a deep sleep under two layers of down. A steady rain pelted the canvas but never entered the tent. The front desk promised to wake us if lightning came too close. The only glitch was when my husband got up to use the toilet about 4am, then returned and – because the tents all look the same – tried to unzip the tent of a family from China. After

the initial shock, it gave us a funny story to tell around the campfire. The rest of the trip ended up being one of the best we have ever taken, despite the fact my daughter was still struggling with her stomach bug. The front desk helped us locate and make an appointment with an urgent care centre nearby, gave us warm tea and helped reschedule our horseback trip to a day when she felt better. We spent the days exploring Yellowstone and nights at the camp’s roaring fire, meeting travellers from places like Sweden and South Korea. When we left, the children cried, and my husband and I decided we were glamping converts. That is not to say we will not rough it again, with our own camping gear. But on trips where we want a unique adventure without doing all the work - where we would like to fall asleep to the distant call of a coyote without packing gear and setting up tents – we will

definitely think about glamping. Some things to know if you are considering glamping: - Camping purists may scoff at amenities like cedar-sided, tiled bathrooms, or rules like the one at our site that banned food but allowed hot chocolate. - If you need privacy and comfort, consider how you would feel about hearing other campers settling in for the night; sleeping in a tent that is open to the outdoors or has just one layer of canvas; or managing without running water or electricity if they are optional or unavailable. If bathroom set-ups and locations matter, research before you book. - Glamping is offered around the world, from South American rainforests to African safaris. Lodging ranges from yurts, treehouses and Airstreams to luxury bedrooms set up in the wild with hot tubs, air-conditioning, whitelinen dinners and mini-bars. Some affordable, bare-bones options exist, but glamping is often expensive, running anywhere from a few hundred dollars a night to more than $1000. - AP

The cheating tag has long been levelled at the All Blacks, just as skipper Richie McCaw has received an increasingly hostile reaction at Twickenham, the so-called home of rugby. McCaw’s treatment from the crowd there in his last two tests has bordered on disgraceful. Certainly, the booing and jeering for someone who has always played the game in the right spirit has been unpleasant, to say the least. Herald reporter Dylan Cleaver wrote last November about the anti-McCaw sentiments he encountered at Twickenham before the test: “’If [referee Nigel] Owens has any balls, he’ll send McCaw off,’ said one white-clad drinker. The only wrinkle in that piece of analysis was that it was still an hour to kick-off. At that stage, McCaw’s only crime was his very existence.” The likelihood is that the All Blacks and England can meet only in the final. Should that happen, the antiMcCaw sentiment will reach
Jerome Kaino: ‘The more prepared we are, the better we will be’.
fever pitch from both the press and England supporters. The “haka is an anachronism and shouldn’t be allowed” story, meanwhile, is a hardy annual the press love to roll out every time the All Blacks set foot on English soil. It probably doesn’t matter in the big scheme of things, but the All Blacks will be prepared for it either way and the tipping point probably came in 2013 when a Daily Telegraph reporter wandered into the team room at the All Blacks hotel, and instead of walking out again, took note of what was written on the white board, including: “We are the most dominant team in the history of the world”. It was a message more about the All Blacks’ state of mind to constantly improve than anything, but it received a big reaction and coach Steve Hansen
hasn’t forgotten it. “It’s definitely going to be tough,” All Blacks loose forward Jerome Kaino said. “Going over to England during the end-of-year tours, they [public and media] ramp up the intensity on the team. “It seems the media try to cause disruption with what they talk about. “That’s just going to be amplified with England hosting the tournament and us being world champions. It’s not going to be easy but it would be pretty gratifying if we could come home with the trophy.” Kaino added: “You can pinpoint what they’re going to talk about - it’s going to be about the haka and what we do [tactics both legal and otherwise]. “We’ve already spoken about it as a team - possible what-ifs - and the more prepared we are, the better we’ll be.”
Professional rugby coaches are forever on the lookout for potential distractions they feel can harm their team’s performance, but some can be favourable. You only need glance at the Crusaders’ record in 2011 when they played their entire season on the road and made the grand final to know some can serve as a source of inspiration. Distractions don’t come much bigger than fatal earthquakes, but the Crusaders drew strength from literal and metaphorical upheaval. A more likely distraction could be the actions of wellmeaning expat players in the United Kingdom keen to catch up with their friends and former team-mates, as Kaino also indicated. “There’s a huge expat population over there in terms of Kiwis wanting to be close to the team. “That will add to the pressure, knowing what it means to them, but the leaders and coaches have a good handle on it and we’ll be well prepared.”

Sodhi’s rollercoaster This year, Ish Sodhi has experienced a journey as unpredictable as his googly. Relegated to secondchoice test spinner behind Mark Craig, he also missed selection on last month’s national contract list as Northern Districts team-mate Mitchell Santner’s reputation grows in the limited overs formats. Sodhi has since seized his opportunity on the Zimbabwe tour to such an extent he was asked to stay on for the South African leg where he has played one of the two Twenty20 internationals and the first of the three one-dayers. New Zealand’s second ODI against South Africa was played overnight in Potchefstroom. - NZME
Haddin axed on form Cricket Australia high performance boss Pat Howard says Brad Haddin was put on notice prior to the Ashes and players understood that form was behind the 37-yearold’s dumping as Test keeper. Haddin missed the second Test to spend time with his daughter in a London hospital. National selectors opted to retain Peter Nevill for the next three Tests, effectively ending Haddin’s international career. Coach Darren Lehmann noted it was based on Haddin’s poor form with the bat since the 2013-14 Ashes, describing it as the hardest cricket decision he’s made. - AAP

Aleh, Powrie add to New Zealand medal haul Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie have won bronze in the women’s 470 at the Rio Olympics test event on Guanabara Bay yesterday adding to the gold secured by Peter Burling and Blair Tuke in the 49er class the day before. Another two top five finishes were added to the New Zealand results with Josh Junior in the Finn class, and Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders in the Nacra 17 both finishing fifth overall.
Aleh and Powrie concede that an average first half to the regatta put them in catch-up mode and they were pleased to turn things around at the midway mark for a podium finish. “We’re actually pretty happy with it. “I think we sailed well for the last half of the event but we had such a shocker in the first half that I think this was about as good as we could come back
with so we’re happy to pull it together at the end,” said Aleh. “We were in and out of the bronze medal on the first upwind beat and the first downwind, and then we managed to solidify second place in the race which gave us the bronze medal,” said Powrie. Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark (GBR) were well placed for gold but they finished last in the medal race and USA’s Anne
Haeger and Briana Provancha stole the overall victory. Aleh and Powrie have now had seven podium finishes at the major international regattas in the women’s 470 class this year, including victory at ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami, and they claimed the Women’s 470 European Championship title. Peter Burling and Blair Tuke took 49er gold to continue their domination of the class.- NZME
Sri Lankan batsman Lahiru Thirimanne has been fined 30 per cent of his match fees for showing dissent after being given out in the second Test against India in Colombo.

In brief Cantabs sneak home What an absorbing contrast as Canterbury with a layer of All Blacks used their full range of attacking ideas, pitted against a Counties side who refused to budge on defence. The Canterbury faithful who turned up to celebrate club day in Christchurch must have felt their province was going to get down to business on the sunny afternoon when Jack Goodhew belted towards the tryline early, but his offload to Johnny McNicholl was a little low and the chance was shelled. Remarkably, it was the closest the hosts got to the line in the opening spell as Counties refused to bend or break under huge pressure. Canterbury will be mighty relieved. They were organised and dominant and it took all their combined clout to crack this 20-15 victory. - NZME

Mid Canterbury kicked off their Heartland Championship campaign with a 34-17 win over South Canterbury at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Saturday. The victory was Grant Keenan’s side’s fourth defence of the Hanan Shield, but a late surge put some gloss on the scoreline as the Hammers produced contrasting set pieces, with effective lineouts but poor scrums. Mid Canterbury enjoyed plenty of possession early on before Murray Williams crossed the line in the tackle to register his side’s first points of the season with eight minutes played. Mid Canterbury’s second try followed a well-worked lineout steal from which centre Fa’aitu Tuamoheloa’s offload allowed wing Ashton Tuck to dot down under the posts. Williams duly collected the extras for a 14-0 lead. The visitors began to force their way back in to the contest, and had a good spell of possession before imposing hooker Sione Vea set off on a mazy run and found number 8 Kieran Coll, who touched down in the corner. First five Jason Merrett slot-
ted his conversion and was on target again moments later with a penalty from just beyond the 22-metre line to bring South Canterbury within four points. Williams returned fire with a penalty of his own to extend the home side’s lead, but South Canterbury levelled proceedings at 17-17 with a converted try from centre Matt Kottier
“
Tomasi upped Mid Canterbury’s tempo and he scored the Hammers’ fourth try to secure a bonus point, but Williams was unable to convert. Tomasi was then involved in his side’s final try of the tie with a slick offload to replacement Ewan Scott, who crossed over in the corner. Williams found his range to nudge the conversion, before

on the stroke of halftime. Mid Canterbury began to gain momentum early in the second half and some quickphase passing sent wing Tuck crashing over in the corner for his second and Mid Canterbury’s third try of the afternoon. Williams failed to convert as his effort rattled the post, before Merrett’s attempt from a penalty at the opposite end did the same just moments later. Replacement halfback Mavae
referee Cameron Stone blew the fulltime whistle at 34-17. Mid Canterbury coach Grant Keenan said he was pleased with his side’s performance and is confident any scrummaging issues can be dealt with before Saturday’s clash with Wanganui. “I thought we performed well for the first 25 minutes, we tested the South Canterbury defence but we lost a bit of communication and fell away from our game plan in the last 15 minutes.
“We addressed that at halftime and kept them scoreless in the second half and scored three good tries,” he said. “In a couple of scrums we scrummed well but others we didn’t, but our scrum guru Craig Dunlea will address that.” South Canterbury coach Barry Matthews said some lacklustre defending had proved costly. “I thought Mid Canterbury dominated in the contact and tackle areas, they defended well and we missed a few tackles. “Mid Canterbury probably showed why they’re two-time Meads Cup winners,” he said. In the afternoon’s Hanan Cup curtain raiser, Mid Canterbury A were downed 83-8 by the South Canterbury Development side. Mid Canterbury 34 (M Williams, A Tuck 2, M Tomasi, E Scott tries; M Williams 3 con, pen). HT17-17 Sth Canterbury 17 ( K Coll, M Kottier tries; J Merrett 2 con, pen). Heartland Championship week one results: Buller beat King Country 32-20, East Coast lost to Poverty Bay 15-60, Horowhenua Kapiti lost to Wanganui 34-39, North Otago beat West Coast 17-16, Thames Valley lost to Wairarapa Bush 9-36.
Auckland will win matches much easier than this without dominating as much as they did against the defending ITM Cup Premiership champions 30-24 yesterday. Eden Park was bathed in sunshine, and both sides seemed to relish the optimal conditions for attacking rugby, but Auckland had the lion’s share of ball while Taranaki could not get a lot going, despite a rugged pack and useful backline. It was left to Rieko Ioane, all of 18, to put the exclamation point on the display, with a scoop up and bolt from 50m in the final minute. But until that point the home team had not been able shake a tenacious Taranaki. - NZME
South beats North New Zealand’s geographic opposites on Saturday produced a compelling contest packed with brilliance, errors, attraction, repulsion, and the ITM Cup version of the NFL’s ‘deflategate’ with the ball resembling a flaccid frisbee early on. Southland, directed by Lima Sopoaga in his first match since starring for the All Blacks on debut in Johannesburg, overcame Northland 27-18 in Whangarei. A second-half burst took them to an 11-point lead and their late territory secured the win. - NZME
Set pieces ‘crucial’ Towering Wallabies lock Will Skelton is working overtime to improve his lineout jumping ahead of next month’s Rugby World Cup. The big-hitting Skelton knows the set-piece, as ever, will be crucial in the UK and it’s an area he is desperate to better in. “I think I can be a quality jumper and really bring that skill for my team-mates,” said Skelton. “I’m working very hard with my fellow locks and the coaching staff on that.” Skelton, who is 204cm and about 145kg, is one of four specialist locks in a squad that boasts a couple of excellent lineout technicians in Rob Simmons and Dean Mumm. - AAP
England look awful Awful, dire, dismal and sloppy. Just a few words used by British media to describe England’s Rugby World Cup warm-up defeat to France yesterday. England trailed France 25-6 at Stade de France before scoring two late tries for a more respectable 25-20 scoreline. - AFP

Crushing shield win By James Ford

Wakanui Black’s dominance of the Mid-South Canterbury senior hockey division continued with a fifth successive Walker and Hall Shield triumph in Timaru on Saturday. Wakanui produced a convincing performance to down McCosker Trophy winners Tainui 5-2 in the play-off final and captain Adam Wilson was the match’s standout player with a hat-trick of goals. The Ashburton side took the lead through Hayden Bonnington in a tightly contested first half that ended 1-0. Wakanui extended their lead to 2-0 early in the second half as Wilson scored his first, but the Oamaru side quickly replied through their stalwart centre forward Shaun Cunningham. Wilson then found the net twice more before Toby Thomas scored for an unassailable 5-1 lead. Tainui continued to attack and were rewarded with a late consolation goal from Josh Dalziel, but it proved too late as Wakanui coasted to a fifth title in as many years. Wilson said he was pleased with his side’s defensive display in the first half and praised his
Records tumble Trent Robinson issued a bittersweet prediction that Warriorsbound Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was only going to get better as the Sydney Roosters maestro wrote his name into the NRL record books. Tuivasa-Sheck set a new benchmark for the most running metres in a season with a monster 268-metre effort in Saturday’s 12-10 win over Brisbane. He passed his Roosters No.1 predecessor Anthony Minichiello’s 2004 mark of 4590m as he took his tally to 4717m with two rounds remaining. He also became the first player since records started being kept in 1999 to run for 250plus metres on five occasions and eclipsed Jarryd Hayne’s 2009 mark for most 200-plus metres games in a year with 11. - AAP

players for a strong team effort. “We’re pretty happy, it was a tight first half but we managed to control it quite well,” he said. “We continued to play the same way and got some good rewards for it at the end.
“It was a big team effort, everyone stepped up so it was pretty satisfying.” Tainui player-coach Jared Ovens said this season had been the best in recent memory for the Oamaru team, but conceded Wakanui deserved
the final victory. “The basic skills just let us down, and we let their main players control the game,” he said. “We had plenty of chances but we just didn’t put them away.”

Warriors ‘not that bad’ says McFadden Embattled Warriors coach Andrew McFadden was buoyed by his side’s fast start but believed a lack of class and experience prevented them from going on with the job in Saturday night’s 50-16 thrashing at the hands of the North Queensland Cowboys. Early on the Warriors looked a different team to the dispirited mob that had suffered five consecutive defeats; despite losing Queensland State of Origin prop Jacob Lillyman for the season to a fractured cheekbone in the first hit-up of the night. Strong go-forward and offloading to support runners - the Warriors’ bread and butter game - gave rookie halves Tui Lolohea and debutant fiveeighth Mason Lino room to play instinctively and test the visitor’s defensive line. Three quick tries to the hotstepping Lolohea, left wing Ken Maumalo and right centre Dominique Peyroux gave the home side a 16-0 lead under 12

minutes, before the Johnathan Thurston-inspired Cowboys piled on a half-century of unanswered points. “I know that 50 points looks bad but I don’t think we’re that bad,” said McFadden. “We went for it. We went out there to win a game tonight and they had a good crack. We just got probably outclassed in the end. “We obviously started really well which was positive for us, but once the possession really started to mount we conceded a couple of soft tries, and that was enough to put some doubt in people’s minds and we really struggled after that.” The momentum swing came with the Cowboys spending most of the second quarter camped on the opposition line, enjoying 16 sets to the home side’s three, as Thurston began focusing their attack down the Warriors’ vulnerable and inexperienced left side. “It’s huge. The weight of possession against us in the

end was just too much for us to hold,” said McFadden. “When it’s Johnathan Thurston who’s got those 16 sets as well, it’s a big challenge, and that sort of weight of possession for any team would tell. “But against Thurston, and with our young side, it was always going to be tough. “We’re trying hard, but we just haven’t got that composure or that 80 minute performance in us at the moment.” Warriors captain Simon Mannering said his side had
braced themselves for the inevitable Cowboys counter-punch, but being able to evade it was a whole different story. “When we had the running we said “it’s not going to be this easy the whole way” and “we’re going to have to defend for a long period at some stage,” said Mannering. “But it’s one thing saying it, it’s another thing doing it, and a couple of those tries were pretty soft. “We held them out there for a fair while and then a couple close before halftime hurt us.” The 10th placed Warriors have now conceded 184 points and scored just 52 of their own since their last victory, over Melbourne Storm on July 12, but McFadden is confident they will continue to work hard in their final two games against Wests Tigers and the Canterbury Bulldogs. “We’ll prepare to win some games. We’ll find something,” he said. - NZME
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves appeared close to an international comeback, at least until a knee injury ended his NRL season on Saturday night. The Roosters prop had been in top form this season, putting a strong case for a Kiwis’ recall.

Titans do it ugly A freak Greg Bird injury could not stop Gold Coast Titans notching a scrappy 28-12 NRL home win over Canberra yesterday that may have helped them avoid the wooden spoon. Bird appears to have played his last game for 2015 after he tore his quad kicking off to start the game. Halfback Kane Elgey provided a rare highlight for the Titans by setting up three tries, scoring one himself and taking over goalkicking duties to amass a 12-point personal haul in front of just 8762 fans. - AAP
Injuries hurt top clubs Injuries to key players have dramatically reshaped the NRL premiership race three weeks out from the start of the finals series, with Sydney Roosters and North Queensland hit hardest. Premiership favourites Roosters have lost prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves for the season, and halfback Mitchell Pearce won’t be back until the finals after suffer-ing a partial hamstring tear in the same game. North Queensland have similar problems. Prop James Tamou might not play again in 2015 due to a neck injury suffered in Saturday’s win while the year could also be over for playmaker Michael Morgan, and South Sydney captain Greg Inglis is in doubt for the premiers’ crucial clash with the Broncos on Thursday. - AAP

In brief
Rooney in goal drought As Wayne Rooney went a 10th game without scoring for Manchester United, an English striker did manage to score a hat-trick on Saturday: Callum Wilson of Bournemouth. It was a landmark treble for the player and his team - both newcomers to the Premier League. In edging a wild encounter at West Ham 4-3, Bournemouth, for the first time in its 125-year history, scored goals in the top flight of English football - and won its first game. It was just the kind of attacking enterprise that Rooney’s United was missing in its 0-0 draw with Newcastle. Bournemouth, which came close to going out of business and dropping out of the fourth professional division in the last decade, had lost its first two Premier League games without scoring. “In the first two games I think there were nerves, but today I felt we showed real confidence,” the 23-year-old Wilson, who was playing non-league football three years ago, told the BBC. “There’s a few things we need to brush up on but it’s a fantastic result.” Wilson sent Bournemouth into a 2-0 lead at halftime, but the visitors had to dig deep after Mark Noble and Cheikhou Kouyate brought West Ham level after the break. Marc Pugh restored Bournemouth’s lead and Wilson completed his treble from the penalty spot after West Ham defender Carl Jenkinson was sent off for clipping Max Gradel in the box. Modibo Maiga’s third for West Ham ensured it would be a nervy conclusion but the Premier League newcomers from a southern seaside town have their first points.

NZ A beat Phoenix Goals from Louis Fenton and Alex Rufer have carried New Zealand A to a 2-1 soccer win over their club, the Wellington Phoenix, in New Plymouth. After NZ ‘A’ keeper Oliver Sail had pulled off a series of saves early in the match yesterday, Fenton opened the scoring in the 33rd minute from a Joel Stevens cross. Stevens was also provider for the second in the 58th minute, cutting a ball back for Rufer to produce a left-foot drive from the edge of the box. Roy Krishna pulled a goal back for the Phoenix 15 minutes later, scoring after his initial attempt was blocked. The Phoenix were using the match as part of their build-up for the new A-League season. - NZME
Marsh team set to fire
Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson booted in a hat-trick for his team against West Ham.
Now Bournemouth will hope to produce more of the freeflowing football that was the team’s hallmark in winning the second-tier last season. “We have to maintain that attacking edge without being too open,” Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe said. At Old Trafford, United was solid in defence against Newcastle, not conceding for a third successive league game despite first-choice goalkeeper David de Gea not playing while a move to Real Madrid remains possible. The problem is the lack of cutting edge up front for the 20-time champions, who only edged their first two league games 1-0. Rooney, who had a goal disallowed for offside early, registered a shot on target for the first time this season but is still without a goal for United since April.
Manager Louis van Gaal, though, maintains that United is not in need of attacking reinforcements before the transfer window closes on September 1. “I am satisfied with the performance and not with the result - and that is different,” Van Gaal said. “We were unlucky with rewarding ourselves because we have created a lot of chances.” Newcastle remains without a win in the first three games under Steve McClaren, a former assistant to Alex Ferguson at United. Tottenham and Sunderland are also still searching for their first wins after draws on Saturday. In a lively final 10 minutes at Leicester, Dele Alli headed Spurs in front but it was quickly cancelled out by Riyad Mahrez, who preserved the hosts’ unbeaten start to the season. “We need to compete better

to the end,” Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said. “I am angry and disappointed.” Former Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe was on target, securing Sunderland’s first point of the season by canceling out Bafetimbi Gomis’ goal in a 1-1 draw with Swansea. Crystal Palace has six points from a possible nine after Bakary Sako scored his first goal for the team to clinch a 2-1 win over Aston Villa. In Norwich, Xherdan Shaqiri marked his Stoke debut by setting up Mame Biram Diouf ’s opener but Russell Martin equalized in one of several games that required drinks breaks due to the heat.

Mostert putting heat on Frosty By Roje AdAimy The heat is on Mark Winterbottom to retain his V8 Supercars championship lead, after Ford team-mate Chaz Mostert closed the gap with two wins in three races at Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend. The young gun closed out the final round before the all-important endurance series with victory in yesterday’s rain-hit and shortened 50-lap feature. He crossed the line 7.6 seconds ahead of the Holdens of Fabian Coulthard and Jason Bright. It followed Mostert’s two pole positions, race win and podium on Saturday, which pushed him up from third to second on the driver’s standings. He now sits just 174 points behind Winterbottom, who qualified in 12th and finished a lowly 16th. “It all came down to strategy,” said 23-year-old Mostert. “Obviously the rain played a big part and the car was pretty good in the rain. “A big thanks to the team.” Holden veteran Craig Lowndes, who came into the weekend hot on Winterbottom’s tail but is now third overall, came in 10th. Team-mate and six-time champion Jamie Whincup couldn’t build on his drought-breaking win and podium on Saturday, managing only 14th place. Volvo’s Scott McLaughlin started on pole but had to tussle with the Ford of David Reynolds for the lead on the opening lap. McLaughlin held on, but his effort was undone by a safety car just as the second lap got underway - triggered by a collision between his team-mate David Wall and Nissan’s Todd Kelly.

In accordance with Clause 20 of the First Schedule to the Resource Management Act 1991, public notice is hereby given that these parts of the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan will become operative on 1 September 2015.

• Chapters 4, 7 and 8 of the Natural Resources Regional Plan; and • Parts I, II and IV of the Land and Vegetation Management Regional Plan.
Ford’s Chaz Mostert: Two out of three at Sydney Motorsport Park.
The entire field headed straight for the pitlane to top up with fuel and mix up their tyres. Mostert came out in front, ahead of Reynolds, as each team’s strategies began to play out. But they all went out the window when the heavens opened on lap 25. Dale Wood was the first casualty, sliding his Commodore on the wet track and beaching it in the gravel. It prompted another safety car and a slew of manic pitstops. Mostert again emerged in front and managed to stay there for the remainder of the race, which was cut by two laps due to broadcast and scheduling time restrictions. The Supercars championship next heads to Sandown from September 11, marking the beginning of the endurance series. The Bathurst 1000 and Gold Coast 600 follow on October 11 and 25. - AAP

Adams ‘still not 100% fit’ There are no issues between Steven Adams’ mentor Kenny McFadden and Basketball New Zealand, according to the two parties. McFadden and Basketball New Zealand CEO Iain Potter have clarified the issue after comments from Jeff Green. Green stated that the reason Adams was yet to play for the Tall Blacks was due to a rift between McFadden and Basketball New Zealand, but both sides have refuted that idea. In an interview with Tony Veitch on Radio Sport, Potter has stated that although there may have been issues in the past, those were no longer relevant when dealing with Adams’ chances of playing for the Tall Blacks today. “In terms of Kenny and I, and Kenny and Basketball New Zealand right now I don’t feel there’s anything there. “Those aren’t the issues that are the

issues in front of us today. The issues relating to Steve’s unavailability are more related to his commercial future as a professional basketballer in the United States. “He is managed by an international management group called the Wasserman Group, and they make the decisions behind Steve’s commercial decisions. They determined that it was in his best interests at this time to focus on his future at OKC.” McFadden says there’s no tension at all between him and BBNZ. “My time with Basketball New Zealand was great. There’s a lot of conspiracies, a lot of people get into a room and come up with a lot of things. “A lot of people don’t know he’s still in rehab. His whole idea was saying until I’m 100% fit I cannot put my hand up to play for the Tall Blacks.” - NZME

24/8
YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Boring people activate the rebellious part of you. So do authority figures, conformers, yes-men and the bourgeoisie. Good luck getting through the day without someone triggering your rebel yell. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Making other people laugh is one of your great pleasures in life, and if there’s one thing to be serious about on this hectic day, it’s humour. Seek it out wherever you can get it. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re a curious daredevil, an impulsive smiler and a confident mischief-maker. These qualities are responsible for the stellar weekend invite you’ll receive. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): It’s only natural for people to become numb to the pleasantries that happen the same way every time. That’s why you’ll put a surprise into the attention and affection you give. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It will be tempting to put off the more tedious aspects of a project, but don’t. To achieve the highest level of productivity, dedicate yourself to the tasks that can be done by day’s end. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): If you don’t feel like a winner yet, worry not: This version of you is not the same version that will cross the finish line. Your trials and triumphs will change you, but cross you will! LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Instead of being overly concerned about a result, the wise person seeks balance. Intellectually, this makes sense to you, but still, you want what you want. You’re living inside the tension of this spiritual struggle. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The calendar and weather suggest a different time of year, but inside, you are on the cusp of a spring awakening. Without even realising it, you are expending a great deal of energy just getting ready to grow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): If you never sent your thoughts to the future, your present would bring more suffering than necessary. You’ll be a great help to those who cannot see past the excitement of the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You may get the feeling that your labour is not being compensated fairly. Look deeper to figure out what’s in it for you, or seek a better arrangement. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): As your friends post pictures of lunch and other intimate minutiae of the day, you’re in a private mood. Someone is becoming more and more intrigued by the mystery of you. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You will be grateful for many hours of successful interaction. When an afternoon hiccup interrupts this, it is a stellar opportunity to polish your skills.

She joins MacDonald as the only Kiwi to win two golds at the same championship and she is the first women in 16 years - and only third in history - to hold both the 200m and 500m titles at the same time. She is also unbeaten at the shorter race since before the last Olympics and last night’s race
was another masterclass, showcasing her dominance and confirming her status as the finest female paddler in the world. Canoe Racing New Zealand boss Mark Weatherall paid tribute to the paddling star. “Lisa truly is worth her weight in gold, not just for the glittering titles she brings back to our shores but also the role mod-
eling she provides,” Weatherall said. “She’s such a focused, disciplined athlete and having her in a New Zealand team rubs off on the other athletes. “You can see how important this is by the way the K4 team has lifted this year. She’s a benchmark for all paddlers to aspire to.” - NZME
