The fallout from Silver Fern Farms’ decision to axe the bobby calf kill at the cooperative’s Fairton plants will have farreaching repercussions for the district’s economy.

Almost 500 workers at the Fairton plant were told the bulk of the region’s bobby calf kill would take place at Silver Fern’s Pareora plant, putting their jobs in limbo for another three months.

The company and union representatives are at loggerheads over what happened at a meeting held earlier this month to discuss Fairton’s fate.

Spokesperson Justin Courtney said Sil-

ver Fern put the option of running both plants on the table, but workers would not agree to include weekends in their five-day working roster without compensation in the form of penalty rates.

“Under the current employment agreement the two-plant option was not viable,” Mr Courtney said.

“In order to run both sites, our option required a seasonal variation to the employment agreement which removed the penalty rates from Saturday or Sunday work, if working within a five-day roster – it did not change anything for people who may have worked a sixth or seventh day.

“The employee representatives in-

formed us this variation was rejected by both sites.

“It left us with the option of only being able to run one site.”

However, New Zealand Meat Workers Union Canterbury secretary Bill Watt said Fairton and Pareora were part of the same collective and as such the same pay rates and conditions applied.

Whatever the reason, the reality is starting to hit home for the Mid Canterbury economy.

■ COLLEGIATE RUGBY CLUB

Club’s grounds now smokefree

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Don’t think about lighting up if you’re at the Collegiate Rugby Club grounds tomorrow. You’ll get the death stare.

The rugby club will be smokefree inside and out from tomorrow – it’s a decision they have made for the health of their young players.

Junior grades president Andrew Scammell said becoming the first rugby club in the district to declare their grounds smokefree was not a hard decision.

“It was inevitable really. We have grown our junior numbers, from 70 last year to 130, and that has been a big motivation ... especially when you see guys smoking outside the clubrooms’ door as the kids are filing in.”

The smokefree status has been conveyed to coaches, players and parents, and signs will be put up tomorrow to alert visiting teams and spectators.

“We’ve got seven or eight games there on Saturday, including the senior Bs.” Mr Scammell said he expected

the odd grumble from smokers, but club members were hoping peer pressure would be enough to generate compliance.

“There will be some people

against it but we think it is no different to when they bought it into pubs.”

Smokefree Mid Canterbury health promoters Carly McDow-

ell and Mandy Casey approached Collegiate earlier this season to ask them to consider going smokefree.

Carly’s son plays for the club’s under 8 team.

■ TRIBUTES FLOWING

Multiple memorials for crash victim Memorials are being held in New Zealand, Australia and the Cook Islands for the man who died on Sunday as the result of injuries sustained in a crash.

David Hosea, 25, was heading home from a shift at Anzco’s Seafield Road meat processing plant at about 10.45pm on the night of June 7 when his car hit black ice and crashed off the road, hitting a pole.

He was critically injured and taken to Christchurch Hospital, where he died on Sunday after his life support was turned off – a day after his first wedding anniversary.

It’s understood Mr Hosea – a member of Ashburton’s Seventh Day Adventist Church – was originally from the Cook Islands, and his body will be returned there next week, ahead

of his funeral in Rarotonga on July 1.

With family and friends spread far and wide, a number of memorial services are also being held.

The first was held in Brisbane, Australia, on Tuesday, and the second in Christchurch on Wednesday night. Last night there was one in Perth, and next Thursday there will be one in Auckland before Mr Hosea’s body is returned to the Cook Islands.

Tributes have been flowing on social media, and family and friends are planning to visit Ashburton to see the crash site, and visit Anzco.

Friends and family are also trying to gather funds to get family to the Cook Islands for Mr Hosea’s funeral, by cooking and selling bags of donuts.

David Hosea

She said there was the odd smoker at the grounds, and at other Mid Canterbury rugby grounds they visited during the course of the season.

“I did expect some resistance, but club members who are smokers supported it. They realised it was not about the smoker, it was about the smoking and that creating that smokefree environment sends positive messages to the players as well.”

She said Smokefree Mid Canterbury was in talks with Celtic about declaring their grounds smokefee and she hoped other clubs would follow.

Rugby clubrooms are smokefree, as are other bars, restaurants and other public buildings. The Ashburton District Council’s sportfields and playgrounds are also smokefree, but Smokefree Mid Canterbury wants the whole Ashburton Domain to be smokefree.

Council was asked during its annual plan submissions last month to extend its smokefree areas, and include spaces outside buildings like the public library.

SFF decision more pain for district From P1 “The economy is pretty fragile at the moment – there are a number of businesses hanging on by the skin of their teeth and if things don’t improve by the end of the year, they won’t be able to hang on,” Grow Mid Canterbury CEO Rob Brawley said.

Businesses servicing the agricultural sector were the first to feel the pinch, but the impact of the dairy downturn is now starting to flow further afield.

“The Silver Fern chain not opening up is going to put more pressure on – especially as there aren’t the jobs around to mop those people up,” Mr Brawley said.

“We are very concerned about the economy beyond farming actually, it’s certainly as tough as it has been for a very long time.”

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay said the decision was the company’s to make, but he too was concerned about the loss of work in a tight job market.

■ SUPREME PIE AWARDS

Unique flavour pie hits streets By ruBy HarfieLd

ruby.h@theguardian.co.nz

A new pie has hit the streets of Ashburton and baker Matt Harvey hopes it will attract the attention of judges in a national pie competition.

Mr Harvey, of Harvey’s Bakehouse, has created a pie made with alpaca meat which he is entering into this year’s Bakels New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards.

The first batch of the pies came out of the oven yesterday to coincide with entries to the competition closing.

This is Mr Harvey’s eighth year entering the awards and he hopes his alpaca pie will come out on top in the gourmet pie section.

It’s a tough competition and only the top 30 or 40 pies get tasted so they have to look perfect on the outside to even have a chance, he said.

“It’s always a challenge. A lot of it is about the pastry not just the meat.”

He decided to go with alpaca meat as it is unusual but tastes quite like steak.

“We wanted to do something a bit different.

“Everybody is trying to do something different that nobody is doing.

“I’ve never seen an alpaca pie before, there’s only one place in the country that sells alpaca meat and that’s in the North Island.”

Mr Harvey will be selling his unique pie for the duration of the competition which gets judged on July 21.

Baker Matt Harvey has created an unusual alpaca meat pie for the Bakels New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards.

■ ROADING

Major upgrade for main road

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The main road between Ashburton and Rakaia will be upgraded as part of a $21 million programme on high risk roads in the South Island.

Large chunks along the length of State Highway 1 will receive road improvements, realignment, barriers, rumble strips and improved marking to improve road safety for users.

The Safe Roads Alliance be will be investigating the AshburtonRakaia corridor late 2016; the investigation is expected to take 12 to 24 months based on the com-

plexity and future traffic demands of the corridor.

While the details of improvements to be undertaken through this corridor are yet to be determined, the safety treatments delivered through the programme typically include a combination of roadside and median barriers, rumble strips, widened centrelines, improved signage and road markings, shoulder widening and intersection improvements.

All of these improvements have been proven to reduce the risk of head-on and run off-road crashes.

Costs will be confirmed once

investigation and design is complete.

SH1 at Rangitata will also be improved as part of the programme.

The work is part of a $600m national safer roads and roadsides programme which will see improvements made to more than 90 high-risk sites on rural state highways in 14 regions.

It includes nearly all high risk roads where there have been five or more fatalities in the past five years.

Transport minister Simon Bridges said the dangerous roads programme was part of Government’s commitment to reducing

the road toll. He said up to $100m would be invested annual over six years and result in 900 fewer deaths and injuries over the next 10 years.

Ashburton mayor Angus McKay said any amount of money spent on improving safety of roads in the Ashburton district was both appreciated and welcome.

The Automobile Association yesterday welcomed the rural roads improvement programme saying lives would be saved.

Motoring affairs general manager Mike Noon said barriers, wide centrelines, rumble strips and better road markings made

a huge difference in reducing crashes.

“People commonly complain that New Zealand’s roads, particularly our rural highways, aren’t as safe as other countries. This investment by the Government is going to help improve that.”

He said a median barrier installed on State Highway 1 north of Wellington had proved a lifesaver. There were 16 fatalities between Pukerua Bay and Paekakariki in the 10 years prior to 2004.

In the 10 years since the barrier’s installation it had been hit more than one hundred times without a single death.

■ WATER RESOURCES

In brief

‘A valuable commodity’

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Putting a price on water used for commercial purposes could be on the radar for a Labour-led government.

The party’s environment and water spokesman David Parker addressed the subject of water ownership during a visit to Ashburton yesterday.

“Some people say no one owns water but you can flip that on its head and say everyone owns water, but some people have special interest in water and extract a public resource free of charge,” Mr Parker said.

However he said the big question was not who owns water but rather the issues of water allocation and water quality.

“You’ve got to ask two questions – what is right for the environment and what is right for the economy?

In Mid Canterbury the big driver has been farming intensification, particularly over the past two decades, which has ramped up the demand for irrigation water.

Mr Parker said one of the challenges was to move from volume to value in terms of production, and investment in research and development around precision farming technologies within the private sector was a priority.

The party’s baseline is swimmable rivers and therefore price is less important than water quality.

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Help is at hand for cashstrapped Mid Canterbury meat workers, left high and dry in the wake of Silver Fern Farms’ decision not to kill bobby calves at its Fairton plant for the second year running.

The calf kill will begin at the Pareora works next month, however Fairton workers on the first chain won’t return to work

A lucky Ashburton Lotto player won $500,000 in Wednesday night’s Lotto draw. The $1 million first division prize was shared between players from Ashburton and Dunedin, with the Ashburton Lotto ticket having been purchased online via MyLotto.

It’s Ashburton’s third big win in recent times. In April someone from Ashburton won $22.2 with Lotto’s Powerball, while in May someone won $119,611 in Strike Four. Powerball was not struck on Wednesday night meaning on Saturday night it will jackpot to $25 million.

Leak report ‘flawed’

Members of Labour’s infrastructure and environment caucus committee were in Ashburton yesterday talking with people in the Rangitata electorate. The group included (from left) MPs David Parker, Sue Moroney and Rino Tirikatene, Rangitata candidate Jo Luxton, local Labour committee chairman Glen Cameron and MP Meka Whaitiri.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 230616-AK-016 also fairness between public and private use.

“Labour would support appropriate storage and irrigation schemes to benefit the economy, but why should people paying tax on minimum wages be subsidising irrigation schemes when water could provide an income stream to fund these sort of works?”

Currently farmers don’t pay for water but rather the administra-

“Some people compare it with air and say can’t put a price on water.

“However once something becomes scarce it has a value – now that irrigation water is scare and clean water for drinking is scare it has become a valuable commodity.”

Mr Parker said putting a price on large scale water takes would promote efficiency of use and therefore less waste and better environmental outcomes, but

tion for the purpose of extracting water.

The water is therefore transferred from public ownership to private ownership, Mr Parker said.

The user-pays proposal would not apply to domestic or stock water takes, but could rope in businesses extracting large quantities of water for bottling.

This money could in turn fund water storage and water quality projects.

Union sets up welfare fund for Fairton workers

$500,000 Lotto win

for another three months when the spring lamb kill comes online. For those on the second chain the wait could be even longer.

The news came on the back of a very short 2015-2016 season, during which chain one operated for just 26 weeks and chain two for 14 weeks.

Earlier this week union members from Silver Fern’s Fairton, Pareora and Finegard plants

met to discuss the implications for Fairton employees, many of who were already feeling the pinch financially.

Secretary of the union’s Fairton sub branch Les Linton said many workers who had already been off for three months were facing hardship. The situation was compounded by a shortage of jobs outside the meat industry.

As a result the union has set

up a welfare fund for Fairton workers and is looking to gauge the need for assistance.

“To help relieve some of the stress caused by the company’s decisions we have decided to set up a welfare fund for employees who are suffering financial hardship,” the union said in a statement.

Employees wishing to access the fund should call 021 766 700 between 10am and noon.

The former diplomat who was drawn into a “flawed” Government inquiry says compensating him for his losses and the damage caused will not be cheap. Former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Derek Leask said he had been “vindicated” after a four-year fight with the State Services Commission to clear his name. A report released yesterday by Ombudsman Ron Paterson said that the Dame Paula Rebstock-led inquiry into the leaking of documents at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) in 2012 was “flawed” in its dealings with Mr Leask. Mr Paterson recommended that the commission make a public apology to him, reimburse his costs, and compensate him for the damage done to his reputation.

Key rules out ransom Prime Minister John Key said there was no chance of the Government paying a ransom for the New Zealander being held hostage in Nigeria. The Kiwi is also with at least two Australians, who were attacked on the outskirts of Calabar by gunmen who killed their driver. Mr Key says it’s likely the kidnappers want money, rather than being part of a terrorist organisation. But he says our Government has a strong policy not to pay ransoms. Mr Key says paying a ransom would put a bounty on the head of any New Zealander. The Australian government is working with Nigerian officials to get to the bottom of the kidnapping. The families of those kidnapped have been notified.

■ ASHBURTON POLICE

Young thief caught in act by member of the public

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

A high profile young offender was apprehended by a member of the public after being caught in the act of a burglary this week.

It was one of two burglaries the young person – one of a small number of youths thought to have been responsible for a spike in dishonesty crimes in Ashburton recently – has allegedly committed in the past week.

But it’s not all bad news. Police nationwide are currently in the middle of a monthlong operation called Operation Focus, which is all about cracking down on young people committing burglaries, and it’s having an impact.

Last month, Ashburton Police senior sergeant Scott Banfield put a spike in dishonest crime down to young offenders who had recently moved into the district.

“One youth offender is actually doing quite well, but the second offender has been apprehended twice in the last week,” Mr Banfield said.

“One was for a burglary in Tinwald where he was observed and apprehended by a member of the public, and held onto until police arrived.

“We’d like to say absolutely top job by that member of the public, and well done.”

He said burglaries were still on the rise in Mid/South Canterbury – the past month was up 55 per cent.

“Locally I would attribute our increase, 70 per cent probably, to our high profile youth offenders,” he said.

“We are not so naïve to say all offences in Ashburton are committed by young people, but a significant proportion were being committed by these young offenders.”

Operation Focus is a month-long effort aimed at reducing the number of dwelling burglaries, which have been steadily increasing over the past 10 months nationally.

According to police, most burglaries are committed by young people.

Sixty per cent of offenders were aged under 24, and 20 per cent were under 16. Some are starting committing thefts and burglaries as young as eight years old.

For the year to April 2016 burglary accounted for 26 per cent of all victimisations.

According to police there are steps the community can take to lessen their exposure to burglary, and vehicle theft, including being aware of what they leave in their cars, ensuring their homes are secure, and any suspicious activity is reported.

Mid Canterbury primary schools are combining for the Heartland Bank Primary Schools’ Music Festival this week.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 220616-TM-0063

■ REVIEW

A highly entertaining evening Wednesday night’s Heartland Bank Primary Schools’ Music Festival began with our national anthem from the Massed Choir followed by Fight Song which the children obviously enjoyed singing.

Chertsey School, with a choir of only 13 children gave the audience a real treat with so much enthusiasm and personality. They sang Individuality and Aotearoa with such conviction and had some pretty cool moves too.

Longbeach School was next with Count On Me which showed their talents with quick, tricky lyrics and the next song Ma Te Mahi Ka Ora also showed their clear pleasing voices with an added bonus of talented soloist Georgia Winchester.

The Massed Choir then performed I Must Take More Photos, Hey Mr Millar and Sing which were all upbeat and the choir sounded and looked like they really enjoyed singing them.

Mayfield School were so full of personality and fun, they certainly were a joy to watch and listen to.

They sang History and Reach with great conviction, fantastic actions and bright, happy faces.

Next to perform were Ashburton Borough School with Rhythm of the Rain and We Wish You Song which were both impressive, featuring lovely melodic voices showing great range and control with complementary subtle movements.

Back to the Massed Choir, starting with Ed Sheeran’s Lego House which the choir sang with great gusto. They gave Flash Dance a new lease of life and Winter Window showed off their singing skills.

Netherby School started with a Jamaican calypso song called Janie Mama. Next up they delighted the audience with Writings On the Wall, made famous by Sam Smith, and a Bond movie theme.

One Call Away was St Joseph’s first song and they obviously enjoyed it as it showed on their faces. Next they sang Flashlight which the choir gave a lot of spirit and energy to, every choir member used a flashlight prop while singing to great effect.

Then the Phoenix Chorus to show off their talents. They started with Sanctus from Requiem Mass and followed with Hine E Hine and Haven’t Met You Yet. These different songs showed the audience what accom-

plished singers they have become and their versatility with different styles of music.

The Representative Choir gave the audience a fantastic mix of songs from Why We Sing showing off their special skills with soloist Mikayla Roulston leading the way, following with Stray Cat Strut featuring Ellie Lawn as soloist, having a bit of fun along the way with a “Meow” from all at the end of the song. Rhythm of Life from Sweet Charity had a bright, happy and skilful sound with a big finish.

The final songs from the Massed Choir included I Wanna Be Like You a happy, fun song with a surprise performance of a dance between a gorilla and a bear, finishing the evening’s entertainment with You Raise Me Up. This was a fitting finale to an entertaining evening, reminding us to appreciate, enthusiastic, great teachers that give so much of their time and of themselves to help our children learn and grow and that Ashburton can be proud that we have such amazing young and enthusiastic talent in our town!

Democrats hold gun sit-in Rebellious Democrats staged an extraordinary all-day sitin on the House floor yesterday to demand votes on guncontrol bills, shouting down Speaker Paul Ryan when he attempted to restore order as their protest stretched into the night.

The stunning and unruly scene was broadcast live to the world from Democrats’ cellphones, after Republicans shut down the network’s cameras.

The sit-in was well into its 10th hour, with Democrats camped out on the floor stopping legislative business in the House, when Ryan stepped to the podium to gavel the House into session and hold votes on routine business.

Angry Democrats chanted “No bill, no break!” and waved pieces of paper with the names of gun victims, continuing their protest in the well of the House even as lawmakers voted on a previously scheduled and unrelated measure to overturn a veto

by President Barack Obama.

Ryan attempted to ignore the outbursts and announce the business of the day, pounding down his gavel over

Who’s with Corden?

Look who’s next in the passenger seat for Carpool Karaoke: none other than the First Lady herself, Michelle Obama.

FLOTUS (the First Lady of the US) announced the appearance with Corden as she launched an account on Snapchat, and Corden was at the White House on Tuesday for the taping. The White House says FLOTUS joined the social media app to promote her trip next week to Liberia, Morocco and Spain to encourage education for the estimated 62 million adolescent girls around the world who aren’t attending school.

Georgia Representative John Lewis leads more than 200 Democrats in demanding a vote on measures to expand background checks and block gun purchases by some suspected terrorists in the aftermath of last week’s massacre in Orlando, Florida. PHOTO AP shouting. “Shame! Shame!

Shame!” Democrats yelled, but Ryan left the lectern and the voting continued.

Then Democrats began singing We Shall Overcome, still holding up the names

of gun victims. The scene presented a radical, almost shocking departure from the normal orderly conduct of the House.

Democrats said they would stay until Republicans yield-

ed to their demands to hold votes on bills to strengthen background checks and prevent people on the no fly list from getting guns in the wake of last week’s massacre in Orlando, Florida.

■ LEBANON

Isis militants push back in Syria, Iraq, Libya Even as internationally backed forces chip away at Islamic State-held territory in Syria, Iraq and Libya, the militants have demonstrated a stubborn resilience this week in the face of recent losses.

The Isis forces dealt an embarrassing setback to the Syrian army near the militants’ self-styled capital of Raqqa with a swift counter-offensive that rolled back incremental gains by troops loyal to President Bashar Assad.

Pockets of extremist fight-

ers north and west of Fallujah continued to hold off elite Iraqi special forces, preventing them from making significant advances one month after the government launched its campaign to retake the city west of Baghdad.

And in the battle for the Libyan city of Sirte, pro-government forces besieging the IS stronghold were stunned by renewed clashes there, with 36 people killed, a hospital spokesman said.

Just two weeks ago, the Is-

lamic State had suffered setbacks in all three countries in the region where the Sunni militant group captured large tracts of territory in Iraq and Syria two years ago.

Seesaw battles raged in Syria’s Raqqa province, with Isis fighters retaking areas from government forces on Tuesday. Two days earlier, the Syrian troops briefly seized an Isis-held oilfield in Thawra and threatened to retake the Tabqa air base, which would have opened a direct line for

troops to the city of Raqqa.

The government began its highly publicised campaign to retake Raqqa on June 2.

On Sunday, the troops advanced to within 10 kilometres of the Tabqa base, which is about 45 kilometres from Raqqa and holds strategic and symbolic value for the government. It was the last position held by government forces in Raqqa province before the militants overran it in August 2014, killing scores of detained Syrian soldiers.

Uma Thurman has “broken a few bones” after she fell off her horse earlier this week. The 46-year-old actress has been left with multiple injuries after she was catapulted off the animal and thrown to the floor when it got “spooked” during a recent training session. A representative for Uma said: “Uma was in an equestrian accident. She was training on a young thoroughbred who got spooked. She was thrown and broke a few bones.” Although the blonde beauty is expected to make a full recovery within a few weeks, she’s still very much in pain and is relying P H I L O S O P H Y on her children Maya, 17,“Grant Levon, 14, and Hood Contracting Ltd’s Luna, three, to help herphilosophy get around is to provideon our clients with superior star value and a solution to her crutches.

■ MICHAEL HILL JEWELLER

Dad outlines ‘succession plan’ go into a trading halt today, with the conversion of shares to those of the new Australian parent to take place at 6pm Brisbane time on June 29.

The existing shares would delist from the NZX at the market close on July 6 and the new shares, which will be listed on the ASX and the NZX, would begin trading on July 7.

Emma Hill, who is company chairman, said in April that the move to Australia over time “will provide the company with direct access to a wider group of investors than we currently enjoy and we believe this will be to the benefit of all of our shareholders.

On a day-to-day basis, we will have all of our governance, executive and business operations operating in one jurisdiction and this will considerably simplify our structure.”

Michael Hill shares last traded at $1.15 and have gained 16 per cent this year. The stock is rated a ‘buy’ based on the consensus of three analysts polled by Reuters.

Emma Hill will take over Michael Hill International from her father, Sir Michael, in November.

ON THE MARKETS

will need to renegotiate trade agreements that it currently has as part of its membership. It will also bring into question the future of Europe in its current form, weighing on sentiment and markets in the region.

For New Zealand, a Brexit will see a limited but material impact. The UK is our fifth biggest export market, taking 4.4 per cent of our exports, and is our fourth largest tourism market, representing 13 per cent of total visitor expenditure.

Given that the UK’s economy will suffer if a Brexit occurs, we would expect this to filter down to us also.

Under a ‘Bremain’ scenario, in which case the UK will vote to stay in the European Union, we would expect both the euro and the pound to rally and markets to rebound.

Locally, New Zealand’s booming international travel and migration continued into May. Annual net migration reached a new high of 68,400 in May, up from 57,800 a year earlier. The Treasury expects annual net migration will peak in June at 70,700, before returning to the long-run average of 12,000 by June 2019. At the same time, overseas short-term visitor arrivals reached 3.29 million in the year ended 31 May, 11 per cent

higher than a year earlier.

For only the second time on record, holiday visitor arrivals from China exceeded those from Australia (22,200 compared with 20,200).

This week Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen gave her six monthly testimony to both the Senate and Congress on the economy and monetary policy.

Investors largely shrugged off both days of commentary, with Yellen saying a possible Brexit and other risks justify a cautious policy approach in Tuesday’s session and then focusing on US fundamentals on Wednesday.

She noted that the economy is picking up in the second quarter and she is hopeful that there will be a commensurate pickup in job growth.

The Reserve Bank of Australia released minutes from its last meeting, and gave few clues of when a further rate cut might occur. The central bank remains upbeat about growth and employment but is wary of persistently low inflation. The shock fall in first quarter inflation triggered the surprise rate cut in May, with the cash rate moving to the lowest ever level of 1.75 per cent.

Expectations are that the RBA will cut once more this year with most economists looking at the August meeting as the most likely.

or the past couple of weeks markets have been firmly focused on the UK referendum, when Britain will choose whether it will remain in the European Union.

With polling showing mixed results, many are predicting that the final count will be close. At the time of writing, there are still a number of hours to go before voting starts. Expectations are for the results to begin to start coming in at around 3pm today New Zealand time. It is expected that a final result will be announced later in the evening, however, if it is close, potential recounts could drag through the weekend.

Financial markets have seen increased volatility in the past couple of weeks, with UK and European shares sold down, and sharp falls in the currencies of both regions. However, the sell-off seems to have subsided somewhat this week, with most global markets staging a rally, the implication being that investors believe that the UK will vote to stay in the EU. This view is shared by betting agencies, which many believe to be a more accurate measure of the final outcome. The referendum is now the most betted on political event in the UK, with more than £30 million being bet on the outcome. This amount is comparable to the amount placed on the entire 2014 Football World Cup. Should a Brexit occur, and the UK leaves the European Union, we would expect financial markets to see increased volatility. The UK’s economy will suffer with a material decrease in the nation’s GDP as the region

Michael Hill, the founder of the jewellery chain that bears his name, has outlined what is described as a “succession plan” for his family’s controlling stake in the company, with 10 per cent of the company to be transferred to trusts for daughter Emma and son Mark.

The restructuring would see the family’s holding through the Boxer Hill Trust reduce to 42.89 per cent from 52.89 per cent, while trusts established for the two children of Michael and Christine Hill would get 5 per cent each.

The changes are contingent on the company’s shareholders approving a scheme of arrangement at a special meeting yesterday that would see a new Australian parent acquire all of the existing shares on a one-forone basis with a primary listing on the ASX. Australia is Michael Hill International’s biggest market and its financial reports are in Australian dollars. Subject to shareholder approval, the shares will

OUR VIEW

The social costs run deep Michelle Nelson

I

t’s amazing how far a district’s economy can swing in a couple of years.

At the height of the dairy boom in 2014, Mid Canterbury was touted as having a rock star economy. Business was booming across the board.

This season most dairy farmers will be hard pressed to break even and are watching every cent they spend, which has a trickledown effect on service and retail businesses.

This week meat workers at Silver Fern Farms were also rocked when the company delivered news of its decision to send the district’s bobby calves south to Pareora for processing.

In real terms this will push the start date for almost 500 meat workers out by three months. It will also make for a short season.

Both sides have aired their views on the reasons for the decision.

New animal welfare rules have tightened bobby calf processing practices; the company needs to run a seven-day operation to ensure same-day processing.

The company says it had no option but to keep the doors shut at Fairton, given that the workers voted down a proposal to forego traditional time-and-ahalf weekend rates and include Saturdays and Sundays in their five-day rosters.

The union says as members of the same collective, the same pay rates and conditions applied for both plants.

But whatever the reasons the stark reality is the hardship hundreds of families are up against, with the worst of winter yet to come.

The meat workers union has rallied to help support cashstrapped members get through the next few months and the district’s charities are also preparing for an influx of needy families.

Such problems do not exist in isolation. Like the dairy farmers, these under-employed people cannot spend money they don’t have.

This will in turn take its toll on local businesses, but the cost will reach much further.

School fees and money for extracurricular activities will be hard to find. People will avoid seeking medical advice and shun paying for dental health.

The social costs run deep.

What is it I have against the Rio Olympic Games?

I

can’t help feeling cynical and sceptical about the Rio Games this year.

I’m not talking about the safety of the athletes in Rio, after two Aussie Paralympic squad members were robbed at gunpoint.

So is it the the zika virus outbreak in South America that has fuelled my negative feelings towards these games?

No it’s not, but I do admit I am worried about our athletes over there.

The virus has caused thousands of cases of microcephaly, where an infant is born with an unusually small head and brain.

The threat is so serious that the CDC has issued a level 2 alert for anyone attending the Olympic Games in Brazil this summer. The World Health Organisation has also issued travel precautions.

Most of the attention has focused on microcephaly, understandably so, but zika threatens more than just pregnant women.

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

In recent months, the evidence has been building that zika also causes guillain-barré syndrome.

GBS is a rare but terrifying disease in which your own immune system attacks your nerve cells, leading to rapid paralysis and, in some cases, death. With the best available modern care, the death rate is about 5 per cent, but it’s much greater when patients cannot get high-level care.

I don’t know about you but I can’t help look at athletes these days and wonder about drugs. I hate to say it, but I even wonder about our athletes as well. Have they ever? I really do hope not.

Can you honestly say that you will watch this year’s event and every time a world record is smashed, there won’t be a wee voice in the back of your head saying, “hmmm I wonder if that female Bulgarian weightlifter has ever taken drugs, the one with the Freddie Mercury moustache”?

Maybe we need two Olympics these days. One for totally clean athletes, who get no second chances when it comes to drugs testing. One positive test and you’re out and then you go to the ‘other’ Olympics. The ‘other’ Olympics is no holds barred.

Take as much as you want and go for it. I would definitely watch that! Not only to see a human run the hundred in seven seconds, but to see how many athletes internally combust while competing.

I can see the headlines now…

I am not for a minute suggesting he is a drugs cheat, I think he is just a freak.

I know the drugged Olympics will never happen. But something needs to be done about drugs in sport.

Maybe it should be one positive test equals a ban for life. Make the punishment a big enough deterrent.

About 1948, 298 bags of cocksfoot were bag-hooked and pitchforked up on to the truck from Claude Anderson’s farm at Flemington.

Standing by the truck are (from left) Keith Kenny, Fred Rainey and Arthur (Snow) Thompson.

This photograph was on the wall of Bob Burnett’s office and he was proud of it.

The bags of cocksfoot were about 48 inches (1.2m) and the bags with stripes were used for chaff sacks later on.

■ DUATHLON

NZ debut for Aimee

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

It’s been a memorable month for Aimee Elliott after representing New Zealand for the first time at the recent World ITU Duathlon Championships in Avilés, Spain.

The Mount Hutt College student qualified for the New Zealand team last year and was selected to compete in the women’s under-19 section.

In a challenging field, the 16-year-old placed eighth on her international debut.

Elliott spent 10 days in northern Spain in all, and went about acclimatising to her new surroundings on arrival.

“We arrived six days before the competition day, most of the time was taken up with a variety of trainings both in the mornings and afternoons,” she said.

The championships began with a large opening ceremony, in which spectators gathered in their droves to welcome the athletes from across the globe.

“The opening ceremony was massive, tens of thousands of people lined the streets for the street parades,” said Elliott.

The Year-12 athlete quickly went about familiarising herself with the course and overcoming challenges that inevitably arise when competing in a foreign country.

“Biking on the right hand side of the road with lots of roundabouts as well was interesting, but I got used to it very quickly,” she said.

Since returning from Europe, the duathlon starlet has had a “few easy weeks”.

She competed at the recent New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Cross Country Championships in Rotorua – finishing 30th out of 131 competitors – and is now looking ahead to the South Island Secondary Schools’ Swim Champs in Invercargill.

“The National School Cross Country was my first run since the world champs event,” she said.

“The South Island Secondary

Irish leave it late Robbie Brady scored a glorious late winner for Ireland to put them through to the knockout stages of the European Championship for the first time thanks to a 1-0 win over Group E winners Italy. Brady scored his 85th minute header from a pinpoint cross by Norwich City clubmate Wes Hoolahan. It set up a last-16 tie against hosts France in Lyon.

Ronaldo saves Portugal Hungary and Portugal reached the Euro 2016 knockout stages after a rip-roaring 3-3 draw in which Cristiano Ronaldo netted twice and became the first player to score in four European Championships yesterday. Portugal came from behind three times as Ronaldo, who also set a tournament record of 17 appearances, finally rediscovered his touch to help them secure a third straight draw that left them third in Group F and set up a last-16 meeting with Croatia. Hungary, topped the group with seven points. - Reuters

More athletes face bans Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus face one-year suspensions from international weightlifting competition following the retesting of samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, which may prevent lifters from those countries competing at the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro in August.

The International Weightlifting Federation said the final decisions on the possible bans will be made after the International Olympic Committee makes a definitive ruling on the retests.

- Reuters

Mount Hutt College student Aimee Elliott represented New Zealand at the World ITU Duathlon Championships earlier this month.

Schools’ Swim Championships in Invercargill are coming up soon so that will be fun as well.”

Elliott will then turn her attention to another exciting adventure.

She will represent New Zealand again at the World ITU Aquathlon and Triathlon Championship finals in Cozumel, Mexico in September.

Despite the recent success, Elliott was quick to credit her sup-

porters for her continued progression.

“I would like to please mention some sponsors, they are Farmlands, Ecolab, Chris Robertson and South Pacific Meats,” she said.

“My subject teachers at Mt Hutt College have also been really supportive and my mum and dad.”

With a bright future ahead of her, Elliott will no doubt have

Stars bypassing Rio

many more trips overseas in the black of New Zealand, but will always hold fond memories of her first experience competing abroad.

“Overall it was a fantastic event and I enjoyed every experience that happened,” she said.

“The race itself was a big step up in intensity and the atmosphere on race day was something I had never experienced before but so glad I have now.”

World number four golfer Rory McIlroy withdrew from the Olympics overnight joining a growing list of stars who won’t be at Rio. The four-time major winner cited concerns about the Zika virus, saying it is “a risk I am unwilling to take.” He’s not the first big name who won’t be making the trip to Rio. Lionel Messi withdrew from consideration after deciding to concentrate on the Copa America tournament. Steven Adams announced earlier in the year that he wouldn’t be part of the Tall Blacks campaign if they did qualify.

Lima’s patience rewarded

By Patrick Mckendry In shaking up his team for the third and final test against Wales, All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is giving three new players in Elliot Dixon, Liam Squire and Ofa Tu’ungafasi their first chance at the highest level while handing recalls to George Moala and Lima Sopoaga, and of the five the latter could be regarded as the most deserving.

He has had to be patient and gets his chance via the injury to Aaron Cruden in Wellington last weekend – although Hansen may have selected Beauden Barrett in the No10 jersey and Sopoaga as his back-up regardless – and it comes 11 months after his test debut, a performance of maturity and class against the Springboks at Ellis Park in the Rugby Championship which his side won at the death 27-20.

After playing a leading role in his Highlanders team winning their maiden Super Rugby title last year, Sopoaga missed the World Cup. He was one of the unluckier ones, the selectors going for Dan Carter, Colin Slade and Barrett as their preferred No10s, but his performances have been just as good for Jamie Joseph’s team this year, although, as defending

Lima Sopoaga: Back in black after missing the World Cup. champions, the expectations – from supporters and opposition teams – have become greater.

They are currently sixth on the table and third in the New Zealand conference behind the Crusaders and Chiefs.

The 25-year-old has always impressed as player with all the skills – his overhead kick with his back to the defence when the Highlanders played the Hurricanes in their thriller before the

June break will live long in the memory – but it’s his decisionmaking which has really set him apart.

For that his Highlanders coaches, in particular Tony Brown, must be given credit, for it has taken Sopoaga from being an exciting but occasionally loose player to one of the highest class who would probably start for most nations.

His goalkicking also sets him

apart this season, at least when compared with his New Zealand rivals.

Sopoaga is kicking at 75 per cent for the Highlanders, Cruden 52 per cent and Barrett 64 per cent, and that is a tribute to Sopoaga’s’s technique and mental application.

Cruden has improved with the All Blacks, kicking at 66 per cent at Eden Park, and adding the extras for Israel Dagg’s try at Westpac Stadium last weekend before being carried off with a neck injury.

His replacement, Barrett, kicked at 75 per cent at the Cake Tin. In a dead rubber against a demoralised Wales, Sopoaga, should he get the opportunity, might not be relied upon for his sharp-shooting right boot, but it is an important string to his bow nevertheless.

While Barrett has been relied upon thus far to add spark from the bench – a role he has become incredibly good at – on Saturday it could be Sopoaga’s turn.

Many in the Wellington-born player’s adopted home in the deep south will hope he does get a chance, and what better place to celebrate his recall to the All Blacks and his first test in New Zealand than under the roof on his home pitch?

- NZME

Ngatai provides a headache for selectors

By GreGor Paul If there is one regret for the All Blacks from this June series, it is that they have been denied the opportunity to see Charlie Ngatai in action.

Had fate not cruelly intervened, Ngatai could have finished the series against Wales having made the distinct impression that he is the pick of the midfield bunch.

Instead, the talented Chiefs midfielder has been at home, hoping to finally be free of lin-

gering concussion symptoms.

The only thing that truly matters for now is Ngatai’s health.

But when he hopefully recovers, the missed opportunity will niggle both him and the All Blacks coaches.

The niggle is on two fronts: there’s the missed opportunity of giving Ngatai more exposure to test football. There’s also, which is more of a concern, the uncertainty of when and how he will integrate back into action.

Before his injury, Ngatai was

the form midfielder in New Zealand. He was probably the form midfielder in Super Rugby.

He most likely wouldn’t have started – that role was destined to be Ryan Crotty’s on account of his previous caps and efforts for the All Blacks which have been near flawless.

But Ngatai would have been injected from the bench and if all had gone to plan, he may have even been in the frame, with the series in the bag, to have started in Dunedin.

Having been around for a few seasons and also having captained New Zealand Maori, Ngatai has the maturity and composure the All Blacks are looking for in their midfielders.

“Charlie Ngatai hasn’t played any football because of his injury so we will wait for him to come right and look at what we are going to do with him because he’s a pretty special player, too,” said Steve Hansen.

Midfield we are still working away quietly away at.” - NZME

New points system The modified bonus-point system introduced into Super Rugby this season will be adopted for the upcoming Rugby Championship.

Teams will be awarded a bonus point for finishing three or more tries ahead of their opponent, replacing the old system of a bonus point for scoring four or more tries.

The bonus point for losing by seven or fewer points remains unchanged. SANZAAR has also confirmed that Twickenham will host its first Rugby Championship game with the Wallabies facing Argentina in a Pumas’ home game. - AAP

Chieka rings changes Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has called in Will Skelton and Matt Toomua for their first appearances of the year as he rejigs his second row and centres for the final Test against England in Sydney tomorrow.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Rakaia return to the fray

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Rakaia will kick off their Watters Cup defence when they host Hampstead tomorrow, while Celtic entertain Methven and Southern have the bye.

It will be the reigning champions’ first outing in a fortnight following last weekend’s bye and Sean Carter’s side will be determined to send a clear message of their intentions to keep the 90-year-old cup in Rakaia for a fourth year.

Meanwhile Hampstead will be out to register their first win after falling to a 40-18 defeat to Celtic a week ago.

Regan Broker’s side were level at 10-10 at halftime before Celtic slipped through the gears in the second stanza, although the new scoring system of eight points for a converted try may have flattered the final result.

Shane Enright’s greens will now

be out to make it two wins in as many weeks when they play host to Methven.

In contrast to Celtic’s convincing win over Hampstead, Methven were beaten 70-4 in their opening Watters Cup clash against Southern last week.

Methven were reduced to 13 players for a period in the second half and Southern made the most of their numbers to pile on the points.

Watters Cup week two fixtures: Celtic v Methven, Celtic grounds, 2.45pm. Rakaia v Hampstead, Rakaia Domain 1, 2.45pm.

Bye: Southern.

Not so long ago critics thought he wasn’t worthy of Queensland selection. Now three try hero Dane Gagai is in the State of Origin record books. The winger was the toast of the Maroons after crossing for a rare hat-trick to spark the Maroons’ series-winning 26-16 game two triumph in Brisbane. It sealed Queensland’s 10th series win in 11 years.

His team-mates want to send him out of State of Origin as a winner but Paul Gallen heads toward game three as the NSW player to have lost the most games to Queensland. The 26-16 loss to the Maroons at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday night was rep retirement-bound Gallen’s 15th defeat in his 23 Origin games since his 2006 debut. Queensland’s Mal Meninga has the most defeats by a single player in Origin, with 17 losses from 32 games.

The Highlanders delighted their North Otago fans with a 40-12 win over the Crusaders in Oamaru yesterday.

Billed as a friendly designed largely to keep players fit during the Super Rugby break, the game featured no lack of endeavour and commitment.

The Highlanders, in particular, were resolute in defence and showed some flashes of attacking brilliance.

Marty Banks guided the Highlanders superbly from first five, rookie halfback Te Aihe Toma impressed, and captain Shane Christie got through a power of work.

The Highlanders scored six tries to two in an excellent run-out before they head to South Africa.

Highlanders 40 (Rob Thompson, Jason Emery, Ryan Tongia, Te Aihe Toma, Fa’asoi Fuatai, Fletcher Smith tries; Marty Banks 4 con, Smith con), Crusaders 12 (Matt Todd, Mitchell Hunt tries; Richie Mo’unga con). Halftime: Highlanders 14-7.

Left - The Crusaders go on attack, but all to no avail as the Highlanders put 40 points on the board.

Gatland resists calls for widespread change Francis will start at tighthead prop with Samson Lee moving to the bench.

Aaron Jarvis has replaced Evans on the bench.

Jake Ball has also been named on the replacements bench for Bradley Davies, who has also returned home after he sustained a knee injury in Wellington.

Inside centre Jamie Roberts starts after he sustained a head clash with Malakai Fekitoa in the second test.

Unwanted record

Hot Highlanders pile on the points

Wales coach Warren Gatland has kept faith with the majority of his team that lost the second test against the All Blacks last week, with props Rob Evans and Tomas Francis coming into the starting side.

Evans, who had been on the bench for the first two tests, replaces the injured Gethin Jenkins, who has already returned to Britain after he sustained a calf injury in the 36-22 second test loss in Wellington.

Ashburton Guardian 19

He has gone through the necessary protocols to allow him to return to action after admitting much of the game was a “blur”.

Gatland’s settled side have put pressure on the All Blacks for sustained periods in the first two matches and face a New Zealand team that is more experimental with three uncapped players in their squad.

“We have played some good rugby in the first two tests and we want to finish the tour on Sat-

urday with an 80-minute performance that we are happy with,” Gatland said in a statement yesterday.

“We improved going into the second test and fought to the end and this weekend we have to have the belief and confidence that we can take the victory.

“Playing under the roof in Dunedin will be a great atmosphere and a quick track and we need to take our game to the All Blacks.”

Sam Thaiday will sit out Brisbane’s next two NRL matches after taking an early guilty plea on a dangerous throw charge in State of Origin II. Thaiday was placed on report for a lifting tackle on NSW captain Paul Gallen in Queensland’s 26-16 win.

The forward faced a three-game ban if he contested the grade-two charge and was found guilty, but not even Brisbane’s precarious ladder position seemed to be worth risking an extended ban.

- AAP

Smith has to wait There was one regret for captain Cameron Smith after Queensland sealed a 10th State of Origin series win in 11 years – not being able to lift the trophy. The Maroons claimed a 26-16 game two win at a sold out Suncorp. But Smith will have to wait until Origin III to raise the trophy, ensuring he will mark the occasion in front of what is expected to be a largely empty ANZ Stadium in Sydney. Smith admitted he would have preferred to have celebrated their series win at a packed home crowd and hoped the NRL could bend their rules in future.

Chad meets old mates Cronulla halfback Chad Townsend says the table-topping Sharks are determined to contain the Warriors second-phase attack in Saturday’s intriguing NRL clash in Sydney.

The former Warriors playmaker is well aware of the ball-playing threats posed by his old friends and team-mates after playing two seasons in Auckland before returning to the Sharks. Townsend is not surprised by their recent form revival that’s brought a hat-trick of wins over Brisbane, Newcastle and the Sydney Roosters.

- AAP

Cronk man in the middle Melbourne are waiting on a decision from their test halfback Cooper Cronk before tabling a final offer to off-contract five-eighth Blake Green. Manly have reportedly offered Green a $700,000 deal but Storm coach Craig Bellamy says the club is waiting for Cronk to make a call on his future. Bellamy says if the club re-signs Cronk they may not have enough money to sign Green, although he’s hopeful of keeping both.

College hang tough Ashburton College and Hampstead got off to winning starts on the opening night of the ACL Premier Netball Grade’s trophy round yesterday evening.

College held a razor-thin 1312 lead over United at halftime, but widened the gap to 22-17 in the third stanza.

United set out to make inroads into the schoolgirls’ lead in the final quarter, but College stood firm for a 27-24 victory.

Hampstead were more convincing on the ACL Court against Southern.

Cindy Meadows’ ladies were 13-5 up at halftime and increased their advantage to 19-9 at three-quarter time. Southern had the better of the fourth quarter but Hampstead had done enough throughout the tie for a 23-15 win.

Skimpy dresses are sent back Nike has been forced to pull its signature ladies dress for the 2016 Wimbledon championships over complaints from players.

The sports apparel giant has been forced into an embarrassing re-call of its Nike Premier Slam dresses so that they can be altered in time for Nike sponsored players to wear them when the grand slam begins on Monday night (NZ time).

According to reports, players complained the dress was too revealing below the waist and has been branded “skimpy” by some commentators.

The Daily Mail reported at least 20 women will wear the faulty dress at the All England Club this year, including Canadian star Eugenie Bouchard and Australian Open semi-finalist Johanna Konta.

Nike sent an email to its sponsored players who will wear the dress at Wimbledon telling them to bring their stock of the all-white outfits to Nike’s rented out space at the All England Club so that they could be altered before the first round of matches.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): There is no need to fight for what is already yours, but you should definitely show the world your stamp of ownership on it today, if only to remind the others of property boundaries.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): No one knows what goes on inside other people’s homes. That’s why intimate relationships – or even cordial ones, if they involve domestic hospitality – are more interesting than the best theatre, especially this weekend.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The healing will start with a little nugget of truth. Who will be the one bold enough to bring that nugget out in the open?

Probably you. Don’t feel the need to throw it. It’s enough to open your hand and give everyone a peek.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There will always be a struggle between generations. Your parents, for better or worse, are a part of you. Accept them for who they are and you’ll be accepting yourself.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There’s power in simple shared happiness. Your upbeat feelings will attract those with similar optimism. Whatever you focus all that cheer on will be lifted and transformed.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Relationship discussions aren’t easy. Feelings are on the line. You don’t want to reject or be rejected. It can be hard to hear the truth. Feeling vulnerable – that’s what it’s about.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Love can be fragile or mighty. Much depends upon how it’s grown and protected. You’ll be surprised where it goes once you Work on the relationship.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): What you want is in line with all that is possible for you. You need to streamline efforts, cut out the fat and make every attempt to be lean and mean in your approach.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): There’s much you can accomplish. There’s much you’ve already done. Don’t stop your own momentum by looking sideways at airbrushed pictures, hyped publicity and Facebook fantasy pics.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): All work and no play makes for getting much farther ahead than the rest of the pack. Who cares about being dull, Jack?

Follow your ambition. You can play tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): A person who doesn’t know what to expect doesn’t set limits. This is one reason many beginners get lucky and land in a sweeter place than those more familiar with the game.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Restless and searching for the best thing to do, you’ll be something of a project gypsy, wandering from project to project nomadically, lingering and then moving on.

Sport Visa’s face for Rio Valerie Adams is one of the most recognisable faces in New Zealand but she will now have a much bigger profile abroad after playing a leading role in Visa’s global advertising campaign ahead of the Rio Olympics.

The two-time defending Olympic champion is depicted in the advert driving a number of leading Olympic athletes from the US to Rio, including gold-medal winning American decathlete Ashton Eaton and fourtime Olympic champion swimmer Missy Franklin. The 31-year-old said she had a simple message for her competitors; “Come August 12, at 10am in the morning, I will be ready.”

Warriors keeping Kata The Warriors have extended the contract of outstanding centre Solomone Kata to keep the Tongan international at the club until at least the end of the 2019 NRL season. The 21-year-old has missed just one of a possible 38 matches since making his first-grade debut against Newcastle in the opening round of the last season. Kata has 22 tries, and was the team’s top try-scorer in 2015 with 12, and he again leads this season with 10 four-pointers from 13 matches.

College crash to nemesis

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton College’s girls’ 1st XV fell to their first loss in the Aoraki competition against Waitaki Girls’ High School in Pleasant Point on Wednesday evening.

Waitaki, who were the only team to beat College last season, were under plenty of pressure while leading 24-22 with time ebbing away, but managed to break away to add another converted try for a 31-22 win.

Ronaldo finally finds the magic P15

College coach Grant Elvines said his players expected a challenging outing against Waitaki, who are unbeaten this season, but was pleased with his side’s display.

“It was always going to be a

hard one for our girls.

“They’ve won all of their games and are always strong,” he said.

“But the girls played really well and we’ll take plenty of positives from it.”

Fury ‘an imbecile’ Wladimir Klitschko has compared Tyson Fury to Adolf Hitler and called for him to be stripped as a world champion while Anthony Joshua revealed he was more terrified of spiders than his opponents – just another day in boxing’s heavyweight division. Klitschko accused Fury of being anti-semitic, homophobic and sexist after comments on a YouTube internet video said: “I’m fighting a guy who can’t hold his mouth. I was in shock at his statements about women, the gay community and when he got to the Jewish people he sounded like Hitler. The man is an imbecile.”

Patience has its reward for Lima P18 www.guardianonline.co.nz
