Sports House Pies make the top 10 wrangle hots up P4

Rather than being a well-oiled headquarters for sports administration, sports house in the EA Networks Centre has become a ‘dogs breakfast’ that has to be sorted out, says Ashburton District councillor Don McLeod.

Yesterday at an extraordinary meeting of the Ashburton District Council, three sports groups told district councillors they had been let down by the council.

Sports House, designed as an administration base for multiple groups, had not delivered what was promised, they said.

Sport Canterbury’s Jan Cochrane said she believed the work space would provide closed office space, break out meeting rooms as well as open space where several sports could ‘hot desk’.

She was stunned to discover the

completed centre had just been one, large open space. Mid Canterbury Netball was committed to moving into Sports House since its inception but president Karla Newlands said they were disappointed with the work space.

“We’ve moved our whole programme there and we can’t operate from two venues. This hasn’t been a smooth transition and we don’t even have a licence to occupy the space.”

If they had known how unsuitable the space would be the organisation would not have moved, Ms Newlands said.

For Mid Canterbury Rugby, Charles Whitehead said the concept plan and the finished work space were light years apart.

“We said right from the outset that open space would not work for us. We need three offices and we were assured

that’s how this space would be configured,” he said.

Apart from netball, Sports House has tenants, prompting the council to look at other options for letting the space. Staff recommended the area continue to be offered to sports groups at a discounted rental rate of $140 per square metre for the next six months but if there were no tenants in six months, it should look at converting the space into commercial offices for sports related businesses.

“For us this is pretty disappointing.

We’re aware that staff have had people in there looking at the commercial side of it and we’re pretty disappointed that this is happening before there’s been any decisions made,” Mrs Cochrane said.

Hair bleach key to life?

Next time you dye your hair blonde, you may just be holding a key to life on Earth in your bleach bottle. University mathematicians believe hydrogen peroxide, the common ingredient in hair bleach, may have provided the energy source for the development of life on earth.

“Hydrogen peroxide has just enough oxidising power to cause mutations every now and then, which would drive evolution,” Australian National University associate professor Rowena Ball said.

How the Kiwi turned colour-blind Scientists say they have sequenced the genome of the brown kiwi for the first time, revealing that the shy, flightless bird likely lost its ability to see colours after it became nocturnal tens of millions of years ago. Inspection of the kiwi’s DNA also showed greater diversity than in other birds in genes responsible for smell, indicating that New Zealand’s national animal can probably detect a wider range of odours — another useful adaptation for a species that prefers living in the dark.

The study, by scientists at University of Leipzig, Germany, and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, was published in the journal Genome Biology. Diana Le Duc, one of the authors, said the kiwi lost its colour vision once that ability ceased to be an evolutionary advantage because it was active mainly at night. By comparing the mutation responsible for this change to the same genetic sequence for other birds, the researchers estimated that it occurred some 35 million years ago, after the kiwi came to New Zealand, she said.

Weighty problem A 254kg man biking across the United States to lose weight hit a snag in Rhode Island. The Newport Daily News reports a bent rim on Eric Hites’ bicycle has kept him in Tiverton since late last week, 145km from where his ride began in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Newport Bicycle is outfitting Hites with a new bike that can withstand his weight. In two weeks on the road, the 40-year-old says he’s lost 27kg. Hites says he’s always been a big person. He hopes to many more kilos and gather material for a second book. He previously authored a humorous cookbook entitled Everybody Loves Ramen, which includes 50 recipes he developed in college.

■ DAIRY DOWNTURN

Govt ‘recklessly complacent’

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

The Government is being recklessly complacent about rural economies like Ashburton in the face of falling dairy incomes and should talk to banks about the way they deal with farmers with low equity, according to Labour’s finance spokesperson.

Following on from his visit to Ashburton last week Grant Robertson said the mood here reflected to him “deep worry in the community”.

“They know how important

the dairy industry is to the rural economy.”

The dairy slump was going to put huge pressure on dairy farmers and sharemilkers and those with low equity who were highly leveraged would be vulnerable and stressed.

A source has told the Guardian that one bank has put a receiver on notice regarding lower equity farmers and would not accept two years of losses from those highly leveraged.

Primary Industries minister Nathan Guy said he had spoken to the banks at the National field

days and they were “broadly supportive.”

But Mr Robertson believed there was an opportunity to “chat” to the banks.

“There will be those that are highly leveraged and it will be difficult but there will be others with support from the bank to say that there is some scope to make some money. I’m hopeful the Government will take a proactive stance.”

Westpac bank, which was not the bank mentioned to the Guardian, media advisor Hayley Ritchie said the bank remained

committed to working with agri-customers through the cycles the industry faces.

She said there were many options available including extended facilities, deferred repayments, increased working capital and capitalised loans.

“While there will inevitably be a few cases where more difficult decisions need to be made, we will always try to work with our customers to try to get the best outcome for all parties.”

Mr Robertson was also scathing regarding Prime Minister John Key’s comments that dair-

ying only made up 5 per cent of the economy.

“Saying 95 per cent of the economy is unaffected just isn’t true.”

Mr Guy said yesterday that 2015 would be tough but it would only be a short-term cashflow problem – a statement Mr Robertson dismissed, saying he had his “head in the sand”.

“He’s reading different reports than I am … we will probably see some small bounce back in the next year but nothing even remotely reaching break-even point.”

■ BRAZEN THEFT

Theft of rowing medals devastates family By daisy HudsoN

daisy.h@theguardiaN.co.Nz

The brazen theft of precious rowing medals has devastated an Ashburton family.

Police are investigating after Belinda Brand’s Wakanui Road home was burgled on Wednesday.

Upon returning home from work on Wednesday afternoon, Mrs Brand was “gutted” to discover burglars had targeted her home.

Among the stolen items were a haul of medals won by her son Tom, a talented rower.

Up to 20 medals were taken, ranging from Tom’s impressive years rowing for Christ’s College to his rowing scholarship at Lincoln University.

“God knows why they would have taken them, they’re no use to anybody,” Mrs Brand said.

The only motive for taking them would have been if someone was “stupid enough” to think they were made of real gold, she said.

She had dreaded telling her son about the burglary as she knew how

important the medals were to him.

“He was like “oh God, don’t worry about that Mum, as long as you’re okay”,” she said.

“But I can tell that he is upset about it, it’s a mark of all his hard work.”

As well as the medals, three laptops were also taken.

To make matters worse, one of the laptops belonged to Mrs Brand’s daughter and contained months of university work.

“She left it here because she was away on holiday and I was due to take it up to her in Wellington this weekend,” she said.

She would also have to change the locks on her car after the spare keys were stolen.

It was upsetting that after 15 years of living in town she had to worry about being burgled, she said.

“It’s a real violation.”

Ashburton Police Sergeant Mike Jackson said police were investigating and anybody with information about the burglary should contact the Ashburton Police Station.

Belinda Brand is devastated after her son’s rowing medals were stolen on Wednesday.

■ FIREWOOD STOLEN

■ SPORTS HOUSE

Spate of firewood thefts

Sports wrangle hots up

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.Co.nz

A spate of firewood thefts may hint at a much more troubling problem in Mid Canterbury.

There have been multiple reports of large quantities of firewood being stolen from properties around the district over the past several weeks.

In one instance a trailer-load of wood was stolen from Ashburton Intermediate School during the school holidays.

Principal Gavin Cooper said the brazen nature of the theft was frustrating.

“People see it and think they just have the right to help themselves,” he said.

A fortnight earlier, Bathurst Street resident Michael Wong had several wheelbarrow-loads of newly delivered firewood stolen during the night.

Posts on social media also suggest there has been a surge of similar incidents in the Rakaia area.

While the thefts themselves may be merely an annoyance for some, they do raise concerns about the struggle some people face to heat their homes.

With temperatures hitting far below freezing in recent weeks, local support agencies are being called upon to help those who can’t afford adequate heating.

Prices for firewood vary, with one advertisement placed in the Guardian offering three cubic metres of dry firewood for $210.

Ashburton St Vincent De Paul president Evans Chiban-

Matthew Wong, 10, and siblings Lucas, 8, and Emily, 4, are not impressed about their firewood being stolen.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 230715-AK- 172

guza said poorly insulated rental properties made heating far too expensive for some members of the community.

“I’ve heard stories of families who are just not having any kind of heating because they don’t want to spend the money,” he said.

It would come as no surprise

if people were resorting to stealing firewood to heat their homes, he said.

Ashburton Salvation Army foodbank manager Judith Lilley questioned whether the firewood was being stolen to heat homes, or to be sold for extra income.

Either way, she urged peo-

ple who were struggling with budgeting to get in touch with the Salvation Army.

Ashburton Police Sergeant Mike Jackson said it was not uncommon to hear of firewood being stolen.

“It’s one of those things, people help themselves unfortunately.”

■ PIE AWARDS

Local pies pick up top 10 placings at awards

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Two young Ashburton bakers have found themselves amongst the top 10 apprentice pie-makers in the country.

Emma Halliday and Isaac Langley of Harvey’s Bakehouse were awarded 3rd and 7th places respectively in the inaugural Bakels New Zealand Apprentice Pie Maker Awards.

Tina Yi from Mairangi Bay Bakery in Auckland took out first place.

Only a few months into her apprenticeship, Ms Halliday whipped up a pulled pork and spiced tomato combination.

Keen to enter again next year, the 22-year-old wants to get started quick smart on her next creation.

“I have to start work on something for next year and make it better so I can try again. I’ll

start on that reasonably soon so I can get it organised,” Ms Halliday said.

Right now, her focus is on finishing her apprenticeship and fine-tuning her baking skills.

“I’m just enjoying what I am doing at the moment,” she said.

Nineteen-year-old Isaac Langley, who came 7th in the awards, is also keen to enter another delicious pastry next year.

For this year’s awards he made a steak, blue cheese and mushroom pie.

“My dad used to make it without the pastry so we would have steak, blue cheese and mushroom and it was really nice and he said ‘put it in a pie’,” Mr Langley said.

A year into his apprenticeship and working predominantly with breads, Mr Langley is learning a lot at the bakehouse but said one day he might like to explore his options and even own his own bakery.

“I’m enjoying my work and I don’t know, I’ll see what happens,” he said.

From P1 Over an eight-year period user groups had been quite clear about what they required from Sports House and they were equally clear they were committed to the space. Users had been promised phone, power, internet connections and heating as part of their tenancy deal, she said.

“We’ve worked with you and we’ve been honest about what we’ve needed; now we need to move forward, but with something everyone is happy with.

Let’s work together to get a good outcome for all sports.”

Most councillors were in the dark over what had gone on at many meetings and what had been promised or discussed, Mr McLeod said.

The only way anyone could get a complete picture was if old minutes were pulled from storage, councillor Neil Brown said.

Mayor Angus McKay said he recalled at the end of a meeting with user groups and the council that staff had said sports house would be built and divided up at a later stage. Quotes put the cost of this work at $100,000 plus.

“And council made this decision when it accepted the plans and the tender for the building that we have. It may be possible to do this after construction and that’s where we’re at now,” he said.

The council had built an income of $14,000 a year into its budget for Sports House and if it failed to secure tenants or gave the space away free of charge that money would have to be found from other sources, probably in rates.

To find a way through a situation he described as a ‘dogs breakfast’, Mr McLeod said the council should continue to offer space to all local sports groups at a discounted rate. If there was no significant uptake within six months then staff would have to suggest other options for using the space. He also suggested a sub committee of councillors and staff should take a look at the Sports House project from its inception into its future. His fellow councillors agreed.

That decision did not please the user groups.

“We were committed to this space and we’re now back to waiting for six months,” Mrs Cochrane said.

The decision was disappointing and it could well cost the council Sports House’s three key tenants, she said.

■ DUCK SHOOTING SEASON

Last hurrah for duck shooters

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Keen Mid Canterbury duck shooters have just a few more chances to brave the freezing early morning temperatures before the season officially closes on Sunday.

It has been a mixed season for duck shooters in the region, according to Fish and Game officer Mark Webb.

The season got off to a slow start thanks in part to the drought in Canterbury, he said.

Harsh weather conditions continued to hamper shooter’s efforts later in the season, with plummeting temperatures causing ponds to freeze.

However ducks displaced from ponds did congregate in other areas, so some duck shooters had more luck than others, he said.

“There’s still been some quite good bags,” he said.

“Those that have been going out, there’s been a lot of fives to 10s and 15s for a couple of hours of hunting in the evenings, so there’s definitely been hunters out there that have made up to what they would normally hunt in a good season.”

Recent rough seas had also helped duck shooters hunting along the coast, Mr Webb said.

“That seems to be where most of the hunters are going to, and I think they recognise that with the sea rough, the birds don’t have that refuge,” he said.

Mr Webb said Fish and Game was pleased with the behaviour and safety precautions shown by duck shooters over the season.

Hamish Stevens, with dogs Pip and Jess, brave the wintry conditions for some early morning duck shooting at the Mackenzie Basin.

■ AORAKI POLYTECHNIC

In brief

Roll boost for Aoraki

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

New primary industry qualifications and an influx of parttime students has bumped up Aoraki Polytechnic’s roll.

According to figures released by the polytechnic, it is well on track to meeting its expected roll for the year.

As of May, 863 students were enrolled at the polytechnic, 34 more than budgeted for that time of year.

Chief executive Alex Cabrera said the increase was down to two factors – students enroll-

ing in part-time courses and an increasing focus on the primary industry hub in Ashburton.

An example of that was the New Zealand diploma in agribusiness management, which has over 100 part-time students. All of those students are in employment and will complete the qualification over 30 months.

The primary industry and trades hub on Hepburns Road is also home to the new horticulture programme, which started this week.

The primary industry port-

folio has experienced growth across the board because of the new qualifications being offered this year, Mr Cabrera said.

“We are attracting more school leavers to the primary industries because of the work we are doing with schools around the vocational pathways,” he said.

“There are also mature students choosing primary industries because of the good employment prospects in our region, and the flexible study options we provide.”

However the roll boost did

not necessarily translate into a cash injection for the troubled institution.

“While the number of people studying at Aoraki is up, because they want to study in a part-time, flexible way, it does not necessarily translate into an increase in revenue in the short term,” he said.

“But this is important to meeting the needs of our region.”

The future of the polytechnic is still up in the air, with a potential merger between Aoraki and CPIT under discussion.

Aoraki joins Primary Industry Capability Alliance

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Aoraki Polytechnic has become the newest member of the Primary Industry Capability Alliance (PICA).

Set up in 2012 to develop a capability strategy for the wider agricultural industry, PICA is a collaboration between a range of industry bodies, the Ministry for Primary Industries, and Lincoln University.

According to the polytechnic’s primary industries portfolio manager Andrea Leslie, Aoraki was invited to join PICA in recognition of the “great work” it is doing in the primary industries sector.

PICA plays a critical role in linking organisations and ensuring their strategies, resources and activities are aligned to achieve the outcomes primary industries needed, she said.

“There are many, many opportunities for people of all ages in rural New Zealand and within the agricultural industry which supports it,” she said.

“Often though it is hard to get a clear picture of what and where those opportunities are and how to get there.”

“PICA aims to provide this road map.”

A Canterbury man has yesterday denied child pornography charges.

The 60-year-old man, who has interim name suppression, faces 14 allegations of possessing objectionable material featuring young boys and girls, many in early to mid teens, while abroad in 2013. He appeared in the dock at Christchurch District Court yesterday to enter not guilty pleas and elected trial by jury. Defence counsel Grant Tyrrell applied for interim name suppression on the basis that publication of his name at this stage would result in extreme hardship to both him and a family member.

$1m cash bag lost A cash bag containing $1 million dollars has been lost by airline staff en route from New Zealand to Hong Kong. The Shanghaiist reported that the bag was one of 12 carrying cash totalling $10 million New Zealand dollars.

“Surveillance footage shows that three bags fell out from the trailer, which was not properly fastened, while it was making a turn at a corner. Only 10 minutes later when the cargo arrived at the station, the driver realised the bags were missing,” shangaiist.com reported.

Two of the three missing bags were later found on the tarmac, but the third remains missing.

Police are investigating the incident as a theft.

Swney bankrupt Convicted fraudster and former Heart of the City boss Alex Swney has been declared bankrupt.

TVNZ reported a High Court judge in Auckland declared Swney bankrupt this morning and the matter would go to the Official Assignee to examine Swney’s affairs and recover funds for creditors. The disgraced 58-yearold was jailed for five years and seven months after admitting more than a decade of financial offending, which saw him avoid paying taxes and swindle cash from the organisation he set up by faking 229 invoices.

- NZME Aoraki Polytechnic primary industries portfolio manager Andrea Leslie says joining the Primary Industry Capability Alliance will create new opportunities for students.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Aoraki Polytechnic already has partnerships with two of the existing Alliance members, Lincoln University and the Primary ITO.

Being part of PICA will help build an industry-wide careers promotion platform, Ms Leslie said.

“It will also help us to keep

well-informed regarding capability issues and initiatives and provide students with networking opportunities in the industry.”

■ ART AUCTION

Famous Gallipoli painting to remain in NZ A famous Gallipoli painting will remain in New Zealand after it sold for almost half a million dollars at auction Wednesday night. The painting by Horace Moore-Jones, titled Simpson and His Donkey, sold for $492,450 including buyer’s premium at the International Art Centre in Auckland.

The auction house’s director, Frances Davies, said she was “delighted” the painting would remain in New Zealand. How-

Pornography charges

ever, Ms Davies could not say whether it was sold to a private or public collection, as the sale was “highly confidential” and the buyer did not want to be identified.

“But we were allowed to announce on the rostrum - and it gave us great pleasure as good New Zealanders – that the painting remains in New Zealand.” The photograph on which the painting was based also sold at auction, fetching

$37,520 including buyer’s premium – well over the $20,000 it was expected to fetch.

Richard Thomson, a director of the International Art Centre, said bidding was very spirited for the painting and the sale price reflected the huge importance of the work.

“There is little else that shows Gallipoli in such a manner. In 1915 many of our soldiers who left for Gallipoli thought they were going on

something of an adventure.

“This painting shows it was far from that. It shows some of the futility of a failed campaign which cost more than 120,000 Turkish and Allied lives. Emotionally, it is extremely powerful,” Mr Thomson said.

He said it was expected to be protected under the Protected Objects Act, 1975, which meant it could not be taken out of New Zealand without formal approval.

He said a man and two shotguns had fallen off the back of an all-terrain vehicle and one of the guns discharged as it hit the ground, he said. A young man was shot in the elbow as a result.

■ MORTGAGE RATES

Banks slash mortgage rates The Reserve Bank cut the Official Cash Rate by 25 basis points to 3 per cent yesterday and banks quickly followed suit, cutting their own floating mortgage rates.

New Zealand’s biggest bank, the ANZ, cut its rates by 0.25 per cent to 6.24 per cent for its floating rate and 6.35 per cent for its flexible home loans.

The new rates will take effect for new customers from Monday July 27 and for existing customers from August 10.

KiwiBank also cut its rates 0.25 per cent, bringing floating rates down to 6.15 per cent, effective immediately for new

customers and in two weeks’ time for existing customers.

Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler hinted that further cuts to the Official Cash rate were likely, echoing concerns from some experts that the headwinds facing the New Zealand economy required a larger cut – possibly down to 2.75 per cent.

“A reduction in the OCR is warranted by the softening in the economic outlook and low inflation,” Wheeler said in a statement. “At this point, some further easing seems likely.”

Wheeler kicked off an easing cycle last month as inflation

stayed below his target band and falling dairy prices lead to a deterioration in the country’s terms of trade, forecasting the 90-day bank bill rate, often seen as a proxy for the OCR, would fall to 3.3 percent in the December quarter before bottoming out at 3.1 percent in June 2016.

At the time, he told politicians he was watching a number of indicators including inflation signals, commodity prices and the falling currency in gauging whether to cut interest rates again.

Since then, inflation has continued to track below the

central bank’s target band, and whole milk powder prices slumped at the most recent GlobalDairyTrade auction, prompting traders to price in an outside chance Wheeler would cut the key rate by half a percentage point at today’s meeting.

Wheeler yesterday dropped his reference to the New Zealand dollar being unjustifiably and unsustainably high – criteria which warrant intervention – while saying its significant decline since April and lower interest rates have led to easier monetary conditions. - NZME

Broadband best spots The best spots to access ultra-fast broadband in New Zealand have been revealed in a map released by Government yesterday afternoon.

Communications Minister Amy Adams said the broadband map had been developed to help New Zealanders source the best broadband options available to them. The website allowed users to pinpoint their home or workplace, and get information on broadband or wireless internet availability and maximum speeds. It also told consumers when they could expect ultra-fast broadband or rural broadband coverage in their neighbourhood.

A 42-year-old man died of natural causes during a fight in Omapere this week, a post-mortem examination has revealed. Police said yesterday the post-mortem, held in Auckland, revealed the man did not die as a result of injuries sustained during the fight.

Emergency services attempted to revive him for an hour when they arrived at the scene of the fight in Omapere, north of Whangarei, on Tuesday. A 39-year-old man was arrested at the scene of the fight and has been charged with assault in relation to an incident earlier in the day outside the Waimamaku Four Square, police said. - NZME

Mistreatment of prisoners to be investigated Corrections chief executive Ray Smith last night revealed a new case of a prisoner being injured at the privately-run Mt Eden Correctional Facility.

The fresh allegation has prompted him to step up measures to ensure the safety of prisoners and staff at the Serco-run prison.

In a statement, Mr Smith said he had been dealing with a series of serious allegations in the past week about fights and mistreatment of prisoners at the prison.

In brief

man and the chief inspector of prisons.

“The public has the right to know that their prisons, run

by Corrections or by a private company, meet the standards that we’ve come to expect - the bottom line is that prisoners must be safe when serving their sentences.”

Mr Smith said he learned yesterday that another prisoner transferred from Mt Eden Correctional Facility (MECF) to another state-run prison arrived with injuries and had made serious allegations about his treatment at the Serco-managed prison.

“I feel I now must consider

taking firmer steps to ensure the safety of prisoners and staff,” he said.

“I am therefore taking legal advice and considering the full range of options available to me in our contract with Serco who run this facility.

“I will be giving these options my full attention and intend to meet with the minister to discuss these options.”

Corrections Minister Sam Lotu-Iiga said he was advised of the fresh allegations about MECF yesterday.

“I expect to receive advice from Corrections chief executive Ray Smith about the options available to address the

situation,” he said.

“I will not be making any further comment until I have received and considered this advice.”

Meanwhile, Serco has been fined $300,000 in the past year for breaching its contract with the Government, the Corrections Minister revealed yesterday.

The breaches at Mt Eden Correctional Facility for the 2014/15 financial year included understaffing, mixing accusing prisoners with other prisoners, failing to give “minimum entitlements” and not giving adequate notification about incidents.

OUR VIEW

It’s a real dog’s breakfast Stu Oldham

EDITOR

A

shburton District councillor Don McLeod is absolutely right – it really is a dog’s breakfast.

Mid Canterbury sports groups deserve better than the mess and adhockery that threatens to undermine the EA Networks Centre’s potential as the district’s sports hub.

The frustration was obvious yesterday when Sport Canterbury Mid Canterbury, rugby and netball representatives again urged the council to provide offices in the largely empty Sports House.

They said they had been asking from the get-go and that they had, over the course of many (often not formally recorded) meetings, been assured they’d be built in the otherwise open plan space.

The offices were not in the plans that the council put to tender but as late as 2013, a pair of senior council staff apparently told the groups that the offices that they asked for would be built.

Sports House opened without offices and with the reaffirmation that it was an open plan, shared space. Rugby’s request for offices was knocked back last month; so far, only netball has moved in.

The groups are aggrieved that the space they expected has fallen well short of expectations and their sense of abandonment looks to be heightened by early suggestions of tenancy alternatives.

If sports do not fill the space, soon, staff wanted to look at options to generate commercial returns. Sports-related businesses are already interested in setting up where offices might have been.

Clearly, the chance that businesses will take the place of community-led sports groups rubs salt into the affected sports groups’ wounds.

The council will keep offering a discounted rental to sports and to look at alternatives if things do not change in six months. It will also investigate how all this was allowed to happen.

It will look at the minutes of meetings but it is already plain that more than a handful of un-minuted meetings and after meeting assurances will do their investigation no favours.

YOUR VIEW Religious questions Regarding Wednesday’s Guardian article about two pastors that have come over from Australia to host workshops in Ashburton.

They appear to be two very confused pastors, this could be that they just got married some years ago after each being widowed, it’s possible second marriages could play havoc with the mind.

That’s something I can’t answer but I can answer the question ‘Is there life after death?

Yes 17.39%

I

received a message on Facebook that really upset me this week.

“Hi Phill, just wondering if you may be able to help, my sister Belinda’s house was burgled today. Most items replaceable, except her daughter Sarah’s Apple laptop, which we are unsure if it was backed up, as she is overseas and in the air flying at moment, it has her whole year of varsity work on it. Also her son Tom’s rowing medals were all stolen, about 20 of them, they are of no monetary value, but he has spent six years of hard work and dedication to win each one.

Just thought if you are able to give it a mention on the off chance that the low-life who stole them may of discarded them somewhere, and they could be returned to Bee’s kids.

Many thanks from Barb”.

I can’t help but feel incredibly sorry for the whole family, especially the kids.

What a horrendous invasion of their privacy! I just hope that the laptop had been backed up and the year’s hard graft can be found.

I can understand why someone would flog a laptop, I’m sure they are a hot item on the low-life wanted list.

I don’t get the theft of the medals though.

How could they be of value to anyone other than the young man who has slogged his guts out for six years to EARN them?

■ NIGERIA

In brief

Attacks kill more than 50 Suspected Boko Haram attacks have left more than 50 people dead as Nigeria’s president warned the US its policy was restricting his government’s ability to fight the Islamist militants.

Twin suicide attacks in Maroua, northern Cameroon, killed at least 11, while about 42 lost their lives in a series of blasts at two bus stations in Gombe, northeast Nigeria.

The latest atrocities yesterday came after Boko Haram released a new video on Twitter, maintaining they were not defeated and vowing: “We will be coming from where you never expected, stronger than before.”

A new, five-nation force from Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Benin - is due to deploy by July 30 to take on the Islamic State Group-allied militants, whose six-year insurgency has left at least 15,000 dead and increasingly threatened regional security.

The attack in Cameroon saw two girls aged “under 15” bomb the central market in Maroua,

as well as the adjoining Hausa neighbourhood, said regional governor Midjiyawa Bakari.

A source close to local authorities said “two girls, who were begging, blew themselves up” about 3pm, causing “total panic” and leaving gruesome

hearing two blasts at both sites.

Lack of electricity in the area made it impossible to say whether they were suicide attacks or homemade bombs left at the scenes.

“So far we have recovered 12 dead bodies from the blast

The attack in Cameroon saw two girls aged ‘under 15’ bomb the central market in Maroua scenes of mutilated bodies and flesh, according to one journalist.

President Paul Biya’s office said 11 people were killed and 32 wounded, condemning the attacks against innocent civilians as “cowardly and despicable”.

In Gombe city, blasts ripped through the Dadin Kowa bus station about 7.30pm and the Dukku terminus about 20 minutes later. Witnesses reported

scene,” said one rescue worker at the first site, who asked not to be identified. “The bodies are badly mutilated and we have several people injured.”

Gombe state police spokesman Fwaje Attajiri confirmed the first blast but did not give a death toll.

He had no details about the second explosion but one trader, whose shop is near the Dukku bus station, said: “There were two explosions. They

happened after I had closed my shop for the day. I and others who were around came back and began pulling out bodies. I counted up to 30 dead bodies. I became sick and left.”

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari came to power on May 29 vowing to crush the insurgency.

Buhari, on his first trip to Washington as president, yesterday warned that a US refusal to arm his troops because of “so-called human rights violations” only helped Boko Haram.

He had been hoping for greater military assistance on the trip, but indicated he would come home empty-handed because of a US law that prohibits sending weapons to countries that fail to tackle rights abuses.

“Regrettably, the blanket application of the Leahy Law by the United States on the grounds of unproven allegations of human rights violations levelled against our forces has denied us access to appropriate strategic weapons to prosecute the war,” he said.

Indicted on hate crime charges

Massacre memorial opens

A federal grand jury has indicted suspected white supremacist Dylann Roof on hate crime and other charges over a massacre at an African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina.

The indictments, announced in Washington yesterday by US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, are in addition to state murder and attempted murder charges against the 21-year-old suspect.

“Racially-motivated violence such as this is the original domestic terrorism,” Lynch said.

Nine parishioners were killed when the 21-year-old opened fire at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on June 17.

Roof was arrested in North Carolina a day after he allegedly joined an evening Bible study class at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, then shot nine participants with a .45-calibre Glock handgun.

The victims included Emanuel’s chief pastor Clementa Pinckney, who was also a South Carolina state senator. Three people survived the shooting.

- AFP

An memorial dedicated to the victims of a massacre in Norway has opened amid fears it could become a “hall of fame” for mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik.

The exhibition has triggered controversy as several objects used by Breivik in his July 2011 rampage, such as the remains of the van where he hid his bomb and the fake ID and insignia he used to impersonate a police officer, are on display.

The right-wing extremist killed 77 people in in the worst peacetime atrocity in Norway, claiming he was fighting against multiculturalism and a “Muslim invasion”.

The temporary exhibition is housed on the ground floor of the government complex in Oslo that the killer, now 36, unsuccessfully tried to blow up with a massive car bomb.

On July 22, 2011, Breivik detonated a 950-kilo car bomb at the foot of the 17-storey office building of the prime minister, current NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, who also attended yesterday’s ceremony.

The blast killed eight people.

Then, in what is believed to be the deadliest peacetime shooting incident ever com-

IS bigger threat The FBI director says the Islamic State group’s effort to inspire troubled Americans to kill at home has become more of a terror threat to the US than an external attack by al Qaeda. FBI Director James Comey said the Islamic State group has seen success in recent months after a yearlong social media campaign to radicalise disaffected Americans and Europeans. He said the FBI had made a number of arrests over the last eight weeks of people who had been radicalised and has hundreds of investigations pending.

Fifa extradition Trinidad and Tobago’s attorney general says he has received a US request for the extradition of former Fifa vice-president Jack Warner on corruption charges.

Warner is scheduled to appear before a court Monday. He is resisting extradition on charges of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering in the Fifa corruption case. He is out on bail.

US prosecutors allege South Africa funneled $10 million in 2008 to Warner and two other Fifa executives as payment for them supporting its successful bid to host the 2010 World Cup. - AP

Sub full of cocaine US authorities have seized a submarine-like vessel loaded with more than eight tons of cocaine off the coast of El Salvador. US Navy, Customs and Border Protection and Coast Guard personnel took part in the operation last Saturday.

The semi-submersible vessel was tracked in international waters off the El Salvador coast by US aircraft. It was intercepted by the Coast Guard after a speedboat began to approach. Inside the semi-submersible authorities found 274 bales packed with 7650kg of cocaine worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Four suspected smugglers were taken into custody.

It doesn’t always pay to advertise - especially if you’re an ice dealer who’s a little too keen to shift some product.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at his South Carolina campaign kickoff rally.

Donald Trump is on his way to the Mexican border, the latest event in a presidential campaign some of his Republican rivals would like to dismiss as a sideshow — a “carnival act,” as one puts it.

But the billionaire developer and reality TV host has been stealing their thunder for days and left them scrambling to adjust to a race dominated by a bombastic longshot.

Trump will be in Laredo, Texas, today, highlighting his unyielding stance on immigration. The trip will revisit a topic that has stirred criticism that has now grown into open hostility from some Republican contenders.

From party heavyweights like Jeb Bush to recently announced candidates like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Ohio Governor John Kasich, the contenders are confronted by Trump’s hair-trigger habit of calling out his critics by name, vilifying the Republican establishment and roiling the debate over immigration and more.

Trump plans to hold a news conference at the US-Mexico border, meet members of the union that represents Border Control agents and speak to law enforcement officers, his campaign said.

The border became a flashpoint in the Republican debate when Trump branded

Mexican immigrants rapists and drugbearing criminals. After that episode came a broadside against Senator John McCain, who earned Trump’s ire by saying his remarks about immigrants had brought out “crazies.”

Trump mocked McCain’s experience in the Vietnam War where he was tortured as a prisoner, called him “dumb” and laced into his record on veterans’ issues in the Senate.

In Washington, former Texas Governor Rick Perry was asked about Trump’s planned trip on to the border.

He snapped, “I hope he can find the border because I’m not sure he’s ever been there before.”

This, after Perry denounced Trump’s campaign as a “cancer on conservatism” and “barking carnival act” in a speech that laced into “Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued.”

Indeed, the insults flying between Trump and his fiercest critics have been caustic. Senator Lindsey Graham called him a “jackass” a day earlier and Trump responded by calling Graham an “idiot” and giving out the senator’s cellphone number, jamming his voice mail.

FBI says shooter acted alone The FBI says it’s still unclear if the man behind a shooting rampage at two military bases in Tennessee had been radicalised or was just mentally ill.

Four US marines and a sailor were killed when 24-year-old Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, opened fire on two military centres in Chattanooga before

being shot dead by police last week.

Authorities have said they are treating the case as an “act of terrorism”, confirming that he acted alone. Nearly 1000 FBI agents are pursuing hundreds of leads as they try to understand what motivated Abdulazeez, a naturalised US citizen who was born in Kuwait. - AFP

■ ACC LEVIES

‘Political interference’ in levies decision

BY NICHOLAS JONES The decision to cut ACC levies by less than as was recommended “reeked of political interference” and changes to that process need greater independent oversight, BusinessNZ says.

The business lobby group found common ground with Labour at a select committee hearing on new legislation that will change how ACC levies are set.

Levies are paid by businesses, motor vehicle owners and employees for injury cover that is funded by ACC. ACC is currently in excellent financial health as its investments perform better than expected, and Labour has accused the Government of using the corporation as a “cashcow” in its efforts to reach surplus.

They pointed to last year’s

levy-setting as an example.

The Government rejected a recommendation from ACC that levies for the 2015/16 year be cut by 21 per cent for the work levy on employers, and by 5 per cent for the earners’ levy on workers.

Instead the work levy was cut by 5 per cent, and the earners’ levy remained the same.

In May, ACC Minister Nikki Kaye announced new levy cuts of around $500 million over two years, and legislation – the Accident Compensation (Financial Responsibility and Transparency) Amendment Bill - that would put in place a new framework to set ACC levies, taking effect in 2016/17.

It will give the Government involvement from the start of the process through the setting of a funding policy, which will then guide ACC’s development of recommended levy

rates. Ms Kaye has denied that was done to avoid the political embarrassment of the Government not cutting levies as much as ACC recommended, but rather was to enable better long-term planning and say “at the outset what the rules of the game are”.

However, at a select committee hearing on the Bill yesterday John Pask, an economist at BusinessNZ, said that, although broadly supportive, “greater discipline should be imposed on the Government of the day”.

“The proposed funding policy, in our view, should go to an independent agency for review. Any outcome of that review should be made public.”

Mr Pask said the Bill should also make clear that the Government’s fiscal position should not be a consideration when levies were set.

Labour’s ACC spokeswoman Sue Moroney told Mr Pask she was pleasantly surprised with elements of the BusinessNZ submission.

“You said ... that the Government’s 2014 decision to retain ACC levies at levels well above those recommended by the ACC board ‘reeked of political interference and made the public consultation on levy proposals something of a farce’.

That is a very hard-hitting statement - and one the Labour

Party agrees with, by the way.”

Mr Pask said it was important to note that the same charge could be made at a succession of governments since the ACC scheme started in the 1970s.

Dr Bill Rosenberg appeared on behalf of the Council of Trade Unions (CTU).

Asked about the possibility of independent assessment of the proposed funding policy, Dr Rosenberg said the nature of levies was that they were very similar to taxes.

“And I don’t think that any Government wants to completely lose control of what is levied.

That is the nature of the beast, in a political sense.

■ MARKET SUMMARY

Reserve Bank rate cut inevitable

I

t has been a reasonably quiet week on the economic front around the globe, although the data that was released gave investors a lot to think about.

In New Zealand the major event was of course the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s meeting which saw another cut to the Official Cash Rate.

In the US reporting season has really ramped up with 129 of S&P500 companies reporting this week. Among those that reported were market tech heavyweights Apple, IBM, Microsoft and Yahoo.

On top of that, commodity prices have tumbled with gold reaching a 5 year low and the Light Crude oil prices falling below the US$50 mark.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand cut rates by 25 basis points for the second time in as many meetings this week.

The rate cut was seen by the market as inevitable, however, there was a lot of interest in what the commentary that accompanied the change would indicate.

Governor Graeme Wheeler hinted that further cuts were likely which matched market sentiment.

Most economists are predicting that the four 25 basis point increases will be undone given the softening economic outlook and low inflation. The other data point of interest to come out of New Zealand was the net migration figure which once again hit a record high.

This is the eleventh straight month the net migration figure has hit a record and was once again bolstered by foreign students and Kiwi’s returning from Australia. The annual

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

tally has now hit 115,700.

Over in the US, the corporate reporting season is well and truly underway with 129 companies from the S&P500 reporting this week.

Of those that have reported so far 53% of companies have beaten estimates in terms of revenue and 76% have beaten earnings estimates.

Companies are continuing to find it hard to find topline growth and are also being affected by the strong US dollar.

Cost controls and share repurchases has been relied upon to help grow earnings.

The largest listed company in terms of market capitalisation, Apple, reported this week.

Apple beat at both earnings and revenue levels with profit up 38%, pushed up by robust growth in China and strong iPhone sales. However the 35% increase in iPhone sales was not enough to beat the overly high expectations the market had set for it and subsequently the share price fell.

Adding to the fall was the weak guidance given by the company for the coming quarter. Apple gave no indication of how well its newest product the Apple Watch was going in an effort to keep competitors from getting a detailed look at its unit sales.

In saying this, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that sales are tracking well ahead of company projections and are higher

than the comparable launch periods of the original iPhone or the original iPad. Microsoft also reported quarterly earnings this week, which was hampered by a large accounting charge wiping out profit for the quarter and made for the biggest loss ever recorded in the company’s history.

The US$7.5 billion write down, which was the cause for the massive loss, came from the restructuring of the Nokia handset business that Microsoft purchased last year.

The write down accounts for 80% of the Nokia business.

Microsoft is referring to this year as a transition year as they change focus to software and cloud computing as demand for its traditional products slows down. The share price fell 4% in after market trading.

Commodity prices this week have tumbled with gold prices falling to below $1,100, now at its lowest level in more than 5 years.

The drop in price for gold comes as Greek concerns lessened with bailout deal being struck and as it looks more and more likely that the Federal Reserve in the US will raise rates before the end of the year.

Oil prices have also dropped this week with Light Crude below US$50 a barrel.

The price drop comes as US oil reserves have continued to grow and OPEC nations have vowed to maintain production levels.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Old boy tackles St Bede’s

By Erin TaskEr Dave McCrea would like nothing better tomorrow than to win against his old school.

He’s the coach of the Ashburton College first XV and tomorrow they head to Christchurch to take on St Bede’s in the third to last round of rugby’s UC Championship.

McCrea is an old-boy of St Bede’s, who “didn’t stay long enough” to make the first XV, but tomorrow his loyalties lay firmly with Ashburton College - the side he’s in his first year of coaching.

The side are coming off a deflating draw with Marlborough

1st XV coach Dave McCrea

Boys’ College last weekend, and need to start winning with only three games left in the round

robin if they’re to make the top eight.

Currently they’re in tenth position.

“If they play like how we started that game, we can do it,” McCrea said.

“It’d be good to pull off a win against my old school.”

To do that, McCrea said his side needed to go into the game with a positive attitude and put pressure on from the opening whistle.

Against Marlborough, the Ashburton boys did put pressure on from the start of the game, but Marlborough came back at them and levelled things up.

Unlike the round before that, where St Andrew’s ran right over top of the Ashburton boys to record a big win, the college boys kept on attacking right until the final whistle against Marlborough, and that was progress.

McCrea said they had chances to win that match, they just needed to capitalise on those chances in their final three games.

Ashburton College is currently tenth on the competition points table, and St Bedes is sitting in fifth.

Ashburton College’s final two opponents will be St Thomas’ and Roncalli College.

Ellis Park script ‘just perfect’ for Sopoaga

By PaTrick MckEndry Lima Sopoaga will make his test debut against the Springboks at Ellis Park, one of the most intimidating arenas in world rugby, and the new All Blacks No10 admits he’s already nervous.

“It doesn’t get much bigger, does it? “[I played in] the Super Rugby final two weeks ago in front of my family and friends, but to be able to carry out your dream at a park that holds so much history - for the All Blacks against South Africa - it couldn’t be a better script.

Asked about his feelings, he said: “I’ve never been in the cauldron of test match footy so I’ll find out all about it on Saturday.

“I roomed with Dan Carter last week and even he said he was nervous going into the Argentina game. He said ‘if you’re nervous you’re alive and it means you really want it’.”

The selection of 24-year-old Sopoaga following his standout season with the Highlanders must be considered one of Steve Hansen’s boldest decisions in his four years as All Blacks head coach.

Hurricanes lock James

Broadhurst will also make his test debut when he partners Brodie Retallick in the second row, but it is Sopoaga’s selection ahead of Beauden Barrett and Colin Slade which will grab the most attention with only two tests against Australia remaining until the start of the World Cup. Hansen, who left Dan Carter in New Zealand after his starts against Manu Samoa and Argentina, said he wanted to find out more about Broadhurst and Sopoaga and that the Boks’ Johannesburg fortress was as good a place as any to do it.

“We’ve got to learn how they

cope with pressure and you don’t get too many occasions bigger than this one so we’ll get some answers,” he said.

Hansen said of Sopoaga: “He’s impressed us how quick he’s come in and picked things up. He’s asked some good questions ... he only needs to be told something once and he picks it up.

“There’s a good culture within the group of helping one another - even the other fiveeighths, Dan, who’s not here, Beauden and Sladey - they’re right there beside him the whole way and getting him up - NZME to speed.”

■ SQUASH

■ HOCKEY

Top-of-the-table action B2s seeded to clash

By Erin TaskEr Top four clashes dominate this weekend’s round of the Mid/ South Canterbury senior hockey competitions.

Mid Canterbury teams are currently topping the table in both the men’s and women’s competition, and while one of those sides faces a stern challenge tomorrow, the other is hoping to have an easier run.

The only side not to face a top four team tomorrow is men’s side Wakanui Black.

The Black side currently tops the table for the men, and a week after beating second placed Tainui 2-1, they’ll face a Timaru Boys’ High School team sitting at the bottom of the points table.

That game is in Timaru.

Mid Canterbury’s other men’s side, Wakanui Blue, is current-

ly in third position and they’re likely to face a much tougher ask in Ashburton tomorrow in the form of third placed Cambridge.

Just one point separates the two sides on the competition ladder, but Wakanui Blue will head into the game full of confidence after beating Timaru Boys’ High School 5-2 last weekend.

For the women, Hampstead continued their unbeaten run when they drew 2-all with third placed Cambridge last weekend, and they’ll be looking to see off another top side tomorrow when they take on second placed Timaru Girls’ High School in Timaru.

Fourth placed Hampstead/ Collegians will host third placed Cambridge, and with a 3-2 win over Geraldine last week fresh in their minds they’ll be looking to continue on with that winning form.

The Celtic Squash Club’s annual Ray McBeth Memorial tournament is on this weekend, and has attracted four very even grades from around Mid Canterbury and further afield.

Corey Hastie from Ashburton heads the seedings in the A grade, but all eyes will be on the unknown quantity of Lee Butcher, a B2 from Mosgiel, while the home club’s John McDonnell and Ash Flannery from Ashburton complete the seedings.

Celtic’s Mick Hooper is top seed in the B grade, but he can expect strong opposition from clubmates Paul Cousins, Jock O’Connor and Pat Summerfield, while in the C grade Gary Casey (Celtic) will also have his

hands full with John Woolf, Logan Ford (Collegiate) and Adam Clement (Celtic) the other seeds, but the eventual winner could easily come from the rest of that field.

Ashburton’s Donna Brown is seeded to win the D grade, but with Karen Nieman and Devon Flannery also from the Ashburton club and Di Ness (Celtic) the other seeds, that one is also wide open.

The tournament is the last in the area before the Mid Canterbury Championships, which will be held at the Collegiate courts on August 7 and 8.

The finals for the Celtic tournament are scheduled for 6pm on Saturday at the club’s courts on Keenan’s Road.

Duathletes limber up Race two of the NBS Ashburton Duathlon Series takes place this Sunday. Race one attracted 150 athletes ranging in age from six through to 70-plus, and organisers say race two is shaping up to be just as good. It’s open for family teams, male teams, female teams, mixed teams and individuals, and there’s a long course or a short course on offer. Race three will take place on August 30, and race four on September 20.

Bowlers at NZ champs Four Mid Canterbury indoor bowlers will have a shot at national indoor bowls glory this weekend.

The Ashburton mixed four of Grant Wilson, Michael Lawson, Chris Talbot and Hazel Mitchell are headed for the New Zealand Mixed Fours Championships in Wanganui after winning the right to compete by winning their zone final. They beat Canterbury, South Canterbury and North Otago to earn the right to battle the country’s best.

Ashburton’s last – and only – win at the national mixed fours came in 1990.

All Blacks team All Blacks team to play South Africa at Ellis Park on Sunday, kick-off 3.05am NZT, is: Israel Dagg, Ben Smith, Conrad Smith, Ma’a Nonu, Charles Piutau, Lima Sopoaga, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (c), Liam Messam, Brodie Retallick, James Broadhurst, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Tony Woodcock. Reserves: Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett, Ben Franks, Sam Whitelock, Victor Vito, TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett and Malakai Fekitoa.

Foley fights for jersey Bernard Foley admits there’s extra pressure as he prepares to stake his claim to be the Wallabies’ World Cup playmaker in Saturday’s Test against Argentina. Last year’s regular choice, Foley has been handed the No.10 jersey for the Rugby Championship clash in Mendoza, relegating Quade Cooper to the bench. Foley was impressed by Cooper’s offering in the Wallabies’ opening win over South Africa in Brisbane last weekend. “There’s probably a bit of extra pressure this weekend and I’m looking forward to it.”

F1 remembers Bianchi Daniel Ricciardo says Jules Bianchi will forever be in his heart - a message he has vowed to carry into this weekend’s Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix. Ricciardo was among a host of drivers who farewelled the Frenchman at an emotional funeral in Nice on Tuesday, four days after he died from injuries suffered in a collision with a recovery vehicle at last year’s Japanese Grand Prix. It marked the first death of an F1 driver as a result of a racing accident since Brazilian Ayrton Senna in 1994. A minute’s silence will be observed prior to the start of Sunday’s race at the Hungaroring circuit, which is likely to be more subdued than usual. The sport has reviewed many safety procedures since Bianchi lost control of his car in torrential rain at the Suzuka circuit and crashed last October.

College overcomes awful start

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton College claimed their first win in the third round of premier netball last night, with a 32-24 victory over United.

In a match that could have gone either way in the early stages, College dug in their heels, determined to continue their unbeaten streak.

Methven also came away with a victory, chalking up a win over premier’s most recent addition Rakaia, while Celtic A clinched a narrow win over Hampstead.

In the early game, College got off to a rough start, missing three consecutive goals.

United however, started strong,

sinking six goals before College managed to net their first. United held on to their lead, the quarter finishing up 8-4 in their favour. The second quarter saw College pick up their game, but it wasn’t enough to overturn the lead, the score 14-11 going into halftime.

Determined to continue their unbeaten streak College worked hard, tying the game within the first two minutes of the third quarter and pulling ahead on the scoreboard seconds later.

The quarter finished with College up by five, the score 23-18.

United tried to fight back in the fourth and final quarter but to no avail, the fulltime score read 32-24.

College coach Angela Mitchell said while the team didn’t get off to the greatest start, she was pleased with the game’s result.

“We were very slow to start,” Mitchell said.

“We took too long to settle.”

However, she commended her young team’s tightening of defence and said the speed of the ball worked in their favour in the latter half of the game.

Premier’s late match saw Rakaia come up against a formidable Methven side.

The first half saw Methven race ahead to a 20 point lead.

While Rakaia tried their best, Methven’s impenetrable defence were their downfall. As

the final whistle blew, Methven were up by 24, the score 42-18.

Coming off a victory from the first week of round three Hampstead were hoping to continue their winning ways, but that just wasn’t in the cards.

The first half ended with Celtic up by five, the score 14-9.

Hampstead tried to pull ahead in the second half but Celtic fought back - the full time score 26-23 in Celtic’s favour.

Meanwhile, in Senior A former premier teams College B and Collegiate faced off but Collegiate were the better team on the night, finishing up with a 31-25 win. College Y9A and Allenton also came away with wins.

The women’s Black Sticks had a strong inkling they would make it to Rio; still, yesterday’s confirmation that they will be in the 12-team Olympic tournament lifted the spirits. Planning can now start in the knowledge there is an end-game locked in next August in South America, which is far more than can be said for the men’s national team. Both teams will play the Oceania Cup over Labour Weekend in Stratford, but with vastly different agendas.

The seventh-ranked men must beat world No 1 Australia to get to Rio, while the women can use the series to work on their game strategies.

Ramos staying at Real Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez has insisted the Spanish club will retain Sergio Ramos, who has been linked to a move to Manchester United. Ramos, a World Cup winner with Spain in 2010, is Los Blancos’ longest-serving player and has been handed the captaincy under new coach Benitez. But talk of his departure from Real has bubbled over the last month when reports of Ramos’ unhappiness in Madrid first surfaced. Manchester United is his reported destination, where coach Louis van Gaal is engaged in a topto-bottom summer makeover of the club. Bastian Schweinsteiger, Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian and Morgan Schneiderlin have already arrived at the English Premier League club in the offseason.

Fast improvement tipped from stable’s new arrival

Fastfoot demonstrates winning form at Riccarton.

PHOTO TRISH DUNNELL

Fastfoot is in the right order to build on an encouraging start from his new quarters when he steps out at Ashburton today.

The five-year-old was a solid fourth at Oamaru in his first appearance for Steve Tyler and further improvement is expected when he runs in today’s Robbie’s Bar & Bistro Handicap.

“I was rapt with him, it was a good effort after he was forced a bit wide on the turn,” the Wingatui trainer said.

“He’s worked well since then so the run hasn’t worried him at

all. He did have a visit from the tooth doctor to fix some sharp teeth that had made a few cuts in his mouth and he’s really comfortable now.”

Fastfoot joined Tyler’s stable after winning four times for former Matamata trainer John Sargent and twice more from Murray Hamilton’s Omakau stable.

“I got him because a lot of the people in the syndicate that race him are from around here at Wingatui and they like to come out and see him work.

“They have a lot of fun with the horse,” Tyler said.

The former Karaka-based horseman also has confidence in the prospects of Fastfoot’s stablemate Popp N’ Lindauer in the Rural Transport Handicap.

“She should go well – she’s taken a while to acclimatise down here and she’s come right now,” Tyler said.

A maiden winner at Wairoa last season, Popp N’ Lindauer has consecutive fourth placings at Ashburton and Timaru to her credit.

24/7 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) As the planets settle into a new lineup, a pecking order will be established. You disagree with this and wonder why anyone should get pecked. Your presence will change matters.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Learning makes you want to know more. An interest is turning into a passion. Follow your passion and you’ll soon be an expert. Follow your expertise, and you’ll soon be rich.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Giving your love unconditionally will help your loved one grow and blossom. This exchange has the added bonus of fulfilling a deep purpose in you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) One way you can tell true supporters from fair-weather friends is that true supporters will try to understand what’s important to you. If it’s important to you, it’s important.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Cosmic forces favour you at this time of year. Because you are so focused your professional life and personal life will intersect in interesting ways, increasing your luck on both fronts.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22) You are brilliant on your own but your true genius emerges when you work with others. Fortunately, you’re happy to support family and friends in any way that is needed.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 23) In the current cosmic milieu dramatic choices get noticed, and subtle ones sail over the heads of 90 percent of the audience. So go big or go home.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21) Imagine the situation being better. Envision what life would be like if your problems were fixed. Don’t worry about the “how”, set improvement in motion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) You may privately decide that your work is pretty stellar, and this is a good thing. If you’re not a fan of you, how are you going to get other people to be fans?

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19) You don’t believe the same thing you believed yesterday. So what?

The world is flexible, always moving and changing.

And for as long as you’re here, you’re a part of that.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18) Good people review the bad things they did with regret. Bad people aren’t capable of self-reflection. If you feel bad about what you did, at least you can feel good about who you are.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20) You may not be an authority on the subject you are asked to talk about today. The best way is to admit that right off the bat and then to know that you are the No. 1 authority on your own thoughts. So why not share those?

Brave challenge comes unstuck

BY ERIN TASKER For 55 minutes last night, Mid Canterbury winning rugby’s Ranfurly Shield didn’t look like a far-flung dream.

But when the final whistle blew in their challenge against Hawke’s Bay in Napier, the scoreline read 57-12 and the boys and green and gold had been taught a lesson in how to finish off a game of rugby.

Mid Canterbury – a Heartland side - headed to Napier knowing they’d need an 80 minute performance to stand a chance against the ITM Cup side, and they set themselves up well, holding a one-point lead early in the second half – the second time they’d led the shield holders.

Mid Canterbury first-five and former Japan international Murray Williams put his side on the board first with a penalty just five minutes in, as the visitors started strongly, dodging a couple of early bullets.

Hawke’s Bay struck back with a penalty of their own to draw level, but a simple game plan was working a treat for Mid Canterbury early on and for the first 20 minutes their defence held strong, they put in some bone-jarring hits on defence, and forced mistakes to defy their underdog tag.

But Hawke’s Bay’s class soon shone through. They began to dominate scrums and line-outs, and showed the challengers that turnovers would be punished

Mid Canterbury went from attack, to scrambling in defence in a flash and being found wanting out wide – a glimpse of what was to come later.

Down by eight, Mid Canterbury could not afford to concede any more points before the break if they were to stand a chance, and instead they added another three points to their own tally through a Williams penalty a minute before the break to make it 11-6.

Mid Canterbury caught a lucky break three minutes into the second half, when Chase dotted down in the corner for what could have been his second try.

The corner post, sideline and put down could have seen it sent to the video referee, but it wasn’t needed. Communications between the officials had broken down and the associate referee stepped in to report a Hawke’s Bay player offside where the ball was first turned over, so play went back to near the halfway mark where Williams lined up another shot at goal and landed it, taking the score to 11-9.

Another less than two minutes later put Mid Canterbury back in the lead 12-11.

Mid Canterbury hearts skipped a beat soon after when Williams was hit late and looked to be injured, but taking a leaf out of captain Jon Dampney’s book, he got up and carried on just in time

to see his opposite slot another penalty to put his side back in front 14-12. Ihaia West added a penalty to extend their lead after 14 minutes of the second half, until Jonah Lowe crossed for two tries for the Magpies in a couple of minutes, making it all of a sudden a 17-point ballgame, 2912, and from there, it was all one way traffic.

But there were bright spots aplenty for Mid Canterbury and they can come home holding their heads high. Dampney led from the front for 80 despite a couple of knocks, and Williams steered the ship well before leaving the field with a suspected shoulder injury, while some Hawke’s Bay players will have bruises to remember them by today.
