Urgent need to lure dentists

New weapon against bullies P5

Ashburton could be part of a looming national oral health crisis due to an ageing dental workforce.

A recent survey found that with more than 77 per cent of oral health professionals aged over 50 in Canterbury, school-based community health care could become unavailable and Mid Canterbury health professionals are calling for urgent action.

President of the New Zealand School and Community Oral Health Services Society Pip Zammit said there is great concern that children, particularly in rural areas, will be unable to access the dental care they need

should the community dental service fold.

Ashburton dental hygienist and therapist Amanda Buxcey said graduates need to be lured to the public sector.

Ms Buxcey came to Ashburton nearly six years ago, straight out of her studies at Otago University and works at a private practice. Since her arrival she said she has seen “numerous” other new graduates employed in the region.

“Each year there are about 80 new dual-trained hygienists and therapists graduating, so although those statistics of an ageing workforce look bleak, these new graduates will be

seeking employment and they will go where the work is,” Ms Buxcey said.

However, while the benefits of mentoring and support in smaller communities is a drawcard, many graduates still seek employment overseas.

“New graduates come out of university with large student loans, and unfortunately a number head to Australia where they will earn more money.”

If there was some kind of incentive scheme encouraging new graduates to work in the public sector, it would help New Zealand retain them, she said.

Evans blasted about diet Celebrity chef Pete Evans’ paleo diet crusade has been compared to Hollywood actor Tom Cruise spruiking Scientology. Evans was given a fairly easy run at promoting his paleo diet in an interview with journalist Mike Willesee on the Seven Network’s Sunday Night programme.

Willesee shed five kilograms after taking up the paleo diet for 10 weeks, which included giving up soft drink, dairy foods, grains and legumes and starting an exercise routine. Viewers and food experts, however, took to social media to denounce the paleo diet and criticise Seven and Evans, who is also a judge on the network’s highest rating reality show My Kitchen Rules.

DB wrote on Twitter: “Is Pete Evans the food version of Tom Cruise and Scientology? I just speak the truth!” Nutrition researcher Dorota Zarnowiecki posted: “Shame on you #sn7 why are you giving Pete Evans any airtime? What a joke!

He is not a scientist or an expert!”

Whale slowly makes its way up coast

NEWS WORLD OPINION BUSINESS RURAL YOUR PLACE HERITAGE SPORT PUZZLES FAMILY NOTICES TELEVISION

A Southern right whale is taking her time swimming up the Northland coastline to the delight of locals who are catching a glimpse of the impressive mammal on its journey, but the public is being urged to follow the whalewatching rules. The adult female whale hit the headlines when it was spotted lolling about in Mechanics Bay and could be seen from Tamaki Drive in Auckland earlier this month. Since then it has been seen off Omaha, then lolling in the calm waters of Smugglers Cove at Whangarei Heads last Saturday. It delighted beachgoers at Sandy Bay on Tuesday and then on Friday the whale was seen by Bland Bay campground manager Tupou Johnstone at Puriri Bay on Whangaruru Harbour. “It was huge. You knew it wasn’t an orca or a dolphin,” Mrs Johnstone said. She was surprised it was in such shallow water. “It was swimming at a very slow pace. I could see white on its nose and then it was flipping its tail around.” Right whales were named by whalers who identified them as the “right” whale to kill on a hunt because they are slow-moving and are usually near the surface.

One Direction set to break for a year The British boy band One Direction will break up in March, according to a report in London’s The Sun. The teen idol sensations – featuring Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan – are set to part company for a year to focus on solo projects. A 1D source told The Sun: “The guys have been together for five years, which is an incredible run for any boy band. They fully deserve to have at least a year to work on their own projects. There is absolutely no bad blood between them and they are all 100 per cent behind the decision. It is definitely not a split and they fully intend to get back together at some time in the future.”

■ YOUTH COURT

Extension ‘long overdue’

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Keeping 17-year-old Mid Canterbury offenders out of the adult justice system would reduce youth reoffending and provide support for troubled teens, according to an Ashburton lawyer.

The news that Justice Minister Amy Adams has asked officials to look into extending the jurisdiction of the Youth Court to include 17-year-olds was welcomed yesterday by

Ashburton lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist, who said it was “long overdue”.

Everyone under the age of 18 should be referred to Youth Court initially, she believed.

“Seventeen-year-olds, even though they might think they’re grown up, they’re still quite immature and they do still need a lot of support from family and agencies,” she said.

Youth Court was a “much better process” that took a hands-on approach, she said.

“The judge takes a personal interest in making sure that the young people do well,” she said.

“Everybody around them takes a huge interest in them to make sure that they don’t offend again and that they do the right thing by the victims.”

The proposal has also been backed by the Labour Party, with leader Andrew Little saying the best way to prevent young offenders from going on to commit more serious crimes was to keep them out of the

adult justice system.

However any changes to the Youth Court’s jurisdiction would not be straightforward, according to Ms Adams.

“The analysis I’ve asked for is whether putting 17-year-olds through the Youth Court system is likely to lead to better long-term outcomes,” she said.

“I haven’t made any decisions and I’m keeping an open mind.”

The public needed to be protected from 17-year-olds who had committed serious offences,

some of whom would have already been through the youth court system on a number of occasions, she said.

The impact of mixing 17-year-olds with other young people in the youth justice system also needed to be considered, she said.

“But we do not want to unnecessarily criminalise young people who commit one, often minor offence, and get a criminal record which can affect their ability to get a job.”

Special deliveries ahead of Daffodil Day Volunteers from the Mid Canterbury Cancer Society and the Ashburton Vintage Car Club teamed up yesterday to make a

few special deliveries.

The groups came together to distribute bouquets of daffodils around Ashburton ahead

of Daffodil Day this Friday.

Cancer Society health promoter Mandy Casey said this was the third consecutive year

the deliveries had been made.

Volunteers will also be out and about on Friday, to collect for Daffodil Day.

From P1 While she doesn’t think the workforce would collapse, without changes, it could be in trouble.

“If there are better incentives for new grads overseas and no incentive [here] apart from interest-free students loans then it could become increasingly difficult to retain these graduates,” she said.

Methven Medical Centre head dentist Meena Chawdhry said in general younger dental graduates and therapists tended to gravitate towards metropolitan areas.

The concern thrown up by the survey needs to be addressed by thinking outside the box, she said.

“The state will need to establish a policy encouraging young foreign-trained graduates to settle down in areas of need, or on a domestic front, rural service prior to awarding degrees or diplomas could be made compulsory.”

■ WORK AND INCOME

Woman threatens local Winz office staff Police are investigating after a woman threatened staff at the Ashburton Work and Income office yesterday.

Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield confirmed police were investigating an event that occurred at the branch yesterday.

However the incident was “very minor”, he said.

“It didn’t raise any alarms in the building, she said it quietly to one person and they went and followed protocol and told their boss,” he said.

“It’s not really a priority, but

we are going to follow it up simply because of what’s been happening there and the profile of it.” It was unlikely an arrest would be made, he said.

The incident comes just one week out from the first anniversary of the fatal shootings

that rocked the tight-knit Ashburton community last year.

Staff members Peggy Noble and Leigh Cleveland were shot and killed on September 1.

Russell John Tully has been charged with their murders.

Yesterday’s incident was the

second to hit Winz offices in the space of just a few hours.

A branch in Levin was evacuated yesterday morning after bags of white powder were discovered outside.

The powder was later found to be sugar.

In brief Trust donations Ashburton community groups secured the lion’s share of money in the past financial year from the Community Trust of Mid and South Canterbury. The trust donated $1.221 million to 196 community groups across Mid and South Canterbury, with 38 per cent of the funds coming to the Ashburton District. The biggest winner was Ashburton’s Community House with a $250,000 grant for the district’s new community house.

The Ashburton Operatic Society was another big winner, with a $40,000 grant towards its new facilities. During the past year the trust achieved near record returns on investments of $7.248 million, equating to a 16.24 per cent return. In 2014 it made a return of $1.926 million. Other areas to receive a share of the fund were Timaru (35 per cent), Mackenzie (16 per cent), Waimate (2 per cent), Geraldine (2 per cent) and Temuka ( 1 per cent).

Top class ballet dancers require special talents

Having a body born to dance and a gift for artistic interpretation are ingredients needed to reach the pinnacle of career success as a ballet dancer.

So says Russian National Ballet Theatre art director and company manager Evgeny Amosov. He himself was once a famous principal dancer, his talent having been spotted from 500 other young boys in a dance competition.

Today he instead manages other dancers, and is currently

enjoying his first visit to New Zealand.

The company has not performed in the country before, but last night graced the Ashburton Trust Event Centre stage with the all-time classic of Swan Lake, while tonight it will bring the fairytale magic of Sleeping Beauty.

Already having performed in the North Island, the company of 35 dancers is making its way down the South Island.

The company includes the famous female principal Marta Filippova and male principal

Nikita Moskalez.

“It’s a very beautiful country, and people are nice, but it’s a little bit cold,” Mr Amosov said. It was currently summer in Russia, however, he did admit temperatures in Russia did get a lot colder in winter, down to minus 35 degrees.

Mr Amosov said while it was hard work to become a successful ballet dancer in Russia, it was not as competitive as it used to be.

Only one dance academy was owned by the state, and there were a lot of private academies.

The training landscape had ultimately led to a shortage of ballet dancers.

It was still the dream of many a young girl and boy to become ballet dancers, particularly girls, with the boys often aspiring to another big dream of becoming astronauts.

Those who made it as dancers had to have a gift. No matter how hard they practised, they also required the innate ability to be able to interpret the wonder and beauty of a story into the creative form of dance.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Battling with 4WDs

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

As more back country land is put behind locked gates, it’s inevitable the number of young four-wheel drivers testing their skills on recreational land will increase, says Mid Canterbury Four-Wheel-Drive Club president Stan Van Heeswyck.

The Ashburton District Council is fighting a running battle with young drivers who are ripping up grass and damaging trees on council owned land.

And while he has no sympathy with the youngsters, Mr Van Heeswyck said there was an element of frustration among four-wheel drivers because of the rapid erosion of access to back country land.

“These guys are not club members, they’re more likely

to be young lads who buy a four-wheel-drive and think they can go everywhere and anywhere.

“The problem is everything’s getting tied up now, everything’s behind locked gates, and riverbeds and beaches are about all that’s left,” he said.

The access issue was also complicated by changing land use, with tracks lost as land moved into DOC tenure or when land was sold to absentee owners, Mr Heeswyck said.

“As a club we now find it really hard to get passage anywhere, it’s becoming a real issue. We can only get to about five out of 50 of the places we used to use and we’re now down to six or seven trips a year.

“Sometimes places limit access to just four vehicles.”

Unfortunately young fourwheel-drive owners often looked at a locked gate or a large concrete block designed to block a track as simply a challenge to overcome. Likewise council’s green areas and stormwater basins proved too tempting.

The club did its best to encourage young people who bought four-wheel-drive vehicles to join so they would have access to good driving areas and learn skills, he said.

“Unfortunately they look at us as too controlled. They just want to go out with their mates and have fun.”

That fun, if it’s taking place on council owned land is illegal said council commercial manager James Webb.

The council wants the community to be its eyes and ears.

If anyone sees vehicles driving in areas where they should not be, take down their registration number and call the police, he said.

“It’s far better to call the police on the weekend rather than the council on Monday when the damage has been done.”

Mr Heeswyck said the club was working with the council to ensure the Ashburton River’s black bill gull colony was protected during the breeding season, but rather than having the entire section of the river off-limits, he said it would be more practical to create a clearly marked, safe passage through or around the rookery.

“This would be far more successful than putting it off limits. Let them pass through and get on their way.”

Three people were airlifted from Canterbury ski fields on Saturday.

A St John spokesman said a male teenager was airlifted from Mt Olympus Ski Field to Christchurch Hospital with moderate injuries following a skiing accident at 12.33pm on Saturday. Later that afternoon two male teenagers were also flown to Christchurch Hospital in a serious condition, this time from the Mt Hutt Ski Area.

One teen was injured in a skiing accident, while the other had a serious medical condition.

Ambulance call Ashburton’s St John ambulance travelled 3178 kilometres last week on 103 calls. Thirty-seven of those calls were to urgent incidents.

There were 88 medical events and 15 accidents during the week.

Looking up Things are looking up for Tauranga residents Liz and Ross Grant since their year-long plight to find a job was reported in the Bay of Plenty Times last week. Mrs Grant, 60, has since had two companies contact her to arrange interviews and Mr Grant, 62, had one promising conversation with a man looking to set up a business in Tauranga who asked for his CV. The two had been living off savings and looking for jobs for a year. Between them, they had applied for about 150 jobs. Mr and Mrs Grant feared their ages could be the main reason they were being overlooked and said prospective employers lost interest when they found out how old they were.

■ RACECOURSE ROAD

Repairs ‘shoddy, substandard’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Racecourse Road residents fed up with the state of the road outside their front gate will have to wait a little longer before they’re driving on a smooth street.

Resident Kevin Hurley described the work as “shoddy and substandard”. It had been an ongoing exercise reseal, patch up job and reseal, he said.

“The road is like driving on 900 metres of continuous judder bars.”

Mr Hurley said Racecourse Road was virtually the second major access road into Ashburton, was well used and passed by two facilities well used by visitors, Hotel Ashburton and Ashburton Racecourse.

No one minded having their street ripped up if it resulted in

a better product at the end of the day, but Racecourse Road residents’ patience was being sorely tested as the road was now worse than it had been before work started and it was still clear that more work was needed, Mr Hurley said.

There was shingle spilling off the sides of the road and seal was lifting in many places, he said.

Ashburton District Council roading services manager Brian Fauth agreed that the condition of the road was far from satisfactory.

“We’re well aware of this and the contractors know they have to come back and fix it. We’re as disappointed in the work as the people living there are. We’ve tried to have it fixed but the weather has been against us,” he said.

■ BULLYING APP

App a year in the making

By CaitliN Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

Think First’s bullying awareness app is now officially live.

The free online app – developed by Think First project co-ordinator John Hobbs – has been in the works for the better part of a year.

Mr Hobbs originally wanted to create a platform that got people thinking about the consequences of their actions when posting on Facebook.

The idea was to have an app that ran in the background when people were on social media and could pick up on offensive words, names or bullying phrases.

However, after further research the idea evolved and Mr Hobbs instead decided to develop a platform that brought together a wealth of information about bullying.

“It summarises the essential information to understand what bullying is and how you can respond, and what your rights are,” Mr Hobbs said.

“It is really simple and easy to use …even parents can use it.”

For example if you were being harassed at work and felt like you couldn’t go to your boss the app helps to outline what other options are out there, Mr Hobbs said.

Designed with Mid Canterbury in mind, it

by Easter; this project had been caught out by a spell of wet weather that saw seal lift shortly after it was laid, he said.

Sealing work on this section of Racecourse Road had been let as a sub contract by the main contractor, Mr Fauth said.

“When they came back and tried to fix it, if anything, they made it worse.

“Now it’s like going over corrugations and you have to drive to the conditions, 30 kilometres an hour.”

He anticipates contractors will be back on site in October.

The council runs a tight roading programme that requires most of the work to be carried out over the summer months.

Roadside drainage work, surveys and design work are carried out from July 1 with tenders let for the first of the season’s big projects and work started before Christmas.

Inevitably there was carry over work from the previous season, such as the Racecourse Road work that also had to be completed in the new roading year, Mr Fauth said.

Locals caught in data hack Hundreds of Mid Cantabrians – mainly men – might be caught up in the massive data breach of a website for people looking for extra-marital love.

The details of more than 600 accounts apparently linked to the district are among just-published information stolen from the Ashley Madison website.

Data published by Spanish software development company Tecnilogica says 560 users are registered as living in Ashburton, 80 in Rakaia, 28 in Methven, 14 in Hinds and 11 in Winchmore.

Analysts say the data is unverified in-

sofar as the addresses were nominated by the users, so were only as reliable as the users wanted them to be.

The data was drawn from a file stolen from the Ashley Madison website by hackers and posted online. Experts have warned the data remains the property of the website and that any unauthorised use is akin to illegally downloading a movie.

Even so, a number of websites have since been spawned that let people check registered email addresses to determine whether they, or anyone they know, has been outed by the hackers.

Playwright enjoys Methven’s version of his play

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Dunedin lawyer and playwright Tim Hambleton has the perfect way to keep his office colleagues on their best behaviour.

If they are too out of line, they might just find themselves starring in his next play.

The 43-year-old visited Methven on Friday night to view one of his works, A Law Unto Themselves, being staged by the Methven Theatre Company.

A Law Unto Themselves was Mr Hambleton’s first play and he wrote it at the age of 22

while in his first job at Alexandra after graduating from law school.

The play follows real life in that the small law firm was full of interesting characters and was being taken over by a larger law firm.

“The personalities (in the play) are magnified, but I did have certain people in mind when I wrote the play,” Mr Hambleton said.

Finally when the play did stage three years later in Invercargill, his former colleagues from Alexandra came along to watch it. “They were sort of pointing themselves out, they

were a good bunch with a good sense of humour.”

It was the humour he found in real life situations that inspired Mr Hambleton to become a part-time playwright.

With no training in the craft, he would find himself writing during quiet times at the law office and also at home in the evenings.

Since A Law Unto Themselves, Mr Hambleton has written four more plays, including his most successful – Heaven Help Us which has been staged seven times throughout New Zealand.

Mr Hambleton, a finalist in

the Playwrights’ Association of New Zealand 10-Minute Play Competition, said it had not been easy getting a name for himself in the early days.

Today he works as a police prosecutor and is continually inspired by the people he meets and situations he finds himself in.

“I always have bits of paper in my pockets full of quotes and stuff.”

He said he had found the Methven Theatre Company’s version of A Law Unto Themselves “absolutely superb”, and had enjoyed the addition of live music.

■ KEEPING MID CANTABRIANS SAFE

Smoke alarm campaign launched By daiSy HudSon

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Chief Fire Officer is urging Mid Cantabrians to install smoke alarms following a recent spate of fatal fires.

The Fire Service has launched a safety campaign after eight people lost their lives in fires in just two months.

Two Mid Canterbury families have also had near misses recently after their homes were gutted by fire.

Chief Fire Officer Alan

Burgess said in at least one of those cases, there were no smoke alarms in the house.

“It just sort of goes to show that not everybody’s covered,” he said.

“The more alarms that can be installed, it’s more likely that people will be woken up if something does go wrong.”

The Fire Service has begun an advertising campaign aimed at driving home the importance of installing long-life photoelectric smoke alarms in

all bedrooms, hallways and living rooms.

National Risk Reduction manager Rob Saunders said the eight deaths were both unnecessary and far too high for such a short period of time, especially considering last year’s total was 13.

In all eight cases, there was either no working smoke alarm or it was not in the bedroom where the fire started.

Mr Saunders said one target of the campaign was renters,

because more than half of all house fires and 90 per cent of all fatal house fires, occurred in rental properties.

However, rental properties accounted for just a third of the country’s housing stock.

“Most people accept that smoke alarms save lives, but frequently they don’t take that next step of buying, installing and regularly checking alarms.

“Our campaign aims to bridge that gap between awareness and action,” he said.

It took a police officer at least nine shots to kill a cow that was running through Gonville during peak traffic yesterday. The animal had first been spotted about 7.45am in the Kauri St-Puriri St area. Constable Luke Cranstone from Whanganui Police said the cow, which appeared to be in calf, started running down Puriri St, charging at anything in its path.

Mr Cranstone said the cow even “had a go” at a man in a wheelchair who was crossing the road on a pedestrian crossing.

Fearing the cow was heading towards Carlton Ave during peak traffic, police shot it on Alma Rd. It took at least nine shots from Mr Cranstone before the cow was killed. No one was injured during the incident, which was over just after 8.30am.

Eleven people are so far feared to have died when a Hawker Hunter jet plummeted on to the A27 after it failed to pull out of a loop manoeuvre during an aerial display, exploding in a huge fireball as it ploughed through cars on the busy road.

But with recovery of the wreckage of the aircraft expected to take place today, Sussex Police assistant chief constable Steve Barry said the number of dead could rise.

“To give people a sense of scale and also the number of people we are trying to work with in terms of the movements of their loved ones, then I would be really surprised if it would be more than 20,” he said.

Barry added: “Today there is a plan for a crane to come and the plan is for the plane to be moved and then for the recovery to continue.

In brief Bodies found Three bodies found on Ecuador’s Chimborazo volcano are believed to be those of climbers who went missing 20 years ago in an avalanche. Mountain guides located the remains at the weekend during a climb on the volcano in the Andes, about 130 kilometres south of the capital Quito. Police investigators are working to determine if the remains are those of climbers missing in the avalanche that hit between 1994 and 1995. - AFP

“The plane needs to be made safe. There are issues around fuel in the aircraft still and there is an issue around making sure the ejector seat is still safe.

“Hopefully the aircraft will be moved today.

“What that will uncover in terms of further recovery work is unknown and it’s possible that once the aircraft is moved that we will discover more fatalities.

“Once the aircraft is moved

then the forensic examination of the scene continues and even then, once that’s clear, the highway will need major repairs, so it could be days rather than hours before the A27 is opened.”

Nepal has opened Everest for the autumn season, granting its first climbing permit four months after a deadly earthquake triggered an avalanche at its base camp.

Hundreds of climbers had to abandon attempts when the avalanche struck in April, marking a second summer season with virtually no one reaching the summit of the world’s highest mountain. The deaths of 16 Nepalese guides in an avalanche in 2014 sparked a shutdown that year. Japanese climber Nobokazu Kuriki will return to the mountain this month in his fifth attempt to reach the summit. The autumn season is considered riskier because of high winds and lower temperatures.

Putting teens on right path Michelle Nelson RURAL REPORTER

K

eeping children out of the adult court system is back on the agenda with Justice Minister Amy Adams calling for the country’s youth court to include 17-year-olds.

Currently, once a young offender turns 17 he or she automatically moves up into the adult justice system.

Theoretically young offenders in the youth court system receive more support from families and agencies.

The system itself is designed to steer these youngsters back onto the right path and prevent more serious offending in the future. And in some cases it works well.

However, it is certainly not a foolproof model and many youth offenders graduate seamlessly into the adult jurisdiction.

Part of the problem is the youth court in New Zealand doesn’t have any teeth to speak of. It is based on restorative justice, rehabilitation and reconciliation.

Some of these concepts are probably a stretch for young brains which are now recognised to be still developing.

There are no real consequences for offending; a curfew might be put in place, and suitable counselling arranged to deal with underlying issues behind much of the behaviour. But unless the young person wants to make a change these measures are likely to be ineffective – as it is the case with adult offenders.

A lack of funding for expert help also stymies rehabilitation. A significant percentage of youth offenders arrive in court with learning problems, mental health and/or behavioural issues which should have been addressed many years earlier.

Many, but not all, are already engaged in substance abuse, and come from troubled backgrounds.

Money spent providing consistent support from the time a child enters school, along with access to decent housing, would probably do more to address the problem of youth offenders.

Illiteracy is prevalent in our prison population; those offenders didn’t become illiterate as adults – they failed to learn in our schools.

Maybe it’s time to go right back to basics.

Inequalities surround TPP

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Should alcohol interlock devices be more widely used?

Yes 88%

John Luxton

T

he news that the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal has not been agreed because of differences over motor vehicles, dairy and intellectual property is no surprise to anyone.

Some of the major players have sought to maintain trade protection rather than to reduce it.

It seems incredible that the US dairy industry has so far convinced the US negotiators that they need to be protected from any increase in New Zealand dairy imports into the US. The New Zealand dairy industry is the only dairy sector in the TPP which is predominantly export focused.

Around 95 per cent of our production is exported which represents around 25 to 30 per cent of New Zealand’s exports by value. The next closest is Australia which exports around 40 per cent of its dairy production, but this represents only around 2 per cent of Australia’s export earnings.

The US dairy sector currently provides much less than 1 per cent of the US’s total exports, but by volume the US is still the largest exporter of milk powder, cheese, and dairy proteins in the TPP region.

The US dairy industry is four times larger than the New Zealand industry, and exports over 15 per cent of its production.

The US share of global dairy exports has more than tripled since 2003.

The US dairy sector has stated that access should only be given equivalent to the amount of additional access that they gain from the Japanese and Canadian dairy markets.

But this makes no sense given that the US dairy market is significantly larger than the dairy markets of either Japan or Canada, having over 322 million consumers compared to Canada’s 36 million, and Japan’s 126 million. It also consumes nearly 800,000 tonnes of butter and butter related products annually.

comprise around 11,500 farms each; however the Canadian and Japanese dairy sectors are heavily protected from imported product with tariffs of up to 300 per cent on imports.

Being sheltered from any competition they produce around one-third of the milk that New Zealand farms produce and at two to three times the cost.

Dairy consumption is also much lower in these countries because of their high production costs, passed on to their consumers.

There is a parallel in New Zealand. New Zealand used to make cars like Japan does – but at a cost of nearly twice that of Japan. The removal of tariffs on motor vehicles in the 1990s reduced transport costs for all New Zealanders markedly.

Free access to our market was given to the Japanese, Canadian and US motor vehicle motor vehicle manufacturers.

To date in TPP Japan has been reported as offering an annual increase in dairy access to New Zealand, equivalent to the production of about three larger New Zealand dairy

farms, or .0016 per cent of our total production.

Meanwhile in Japan, butter has been rationed and additional emergency imports are regularly being sought. Effectively 11,000 dairy producers are holding 126 million Japanese citizens to ransom in terms of their dairy consumption options. Canada also appears not to have made a decent offer on dairy. Whilst most sectors of the Canadian agricultural sector want TPP to be successful in order to allow an expansion of cereal, canola and pork exports, the Canadian government still seems to be focussed upon protecting inefficient parts of their farming sector. In this way Canada’s 11,000 dairy farmers are holding 36 million Canadians citizens to ransom both in terms of the dairy products they can access and reducing the export prospects of their more efficient producers.

The US, Canadian, and Japanese trade negotiators need to deliver on the original intent of a comprehensive removal of restrictions on all goods traded amongst the TPP signatories

– not just on the exports that matter to them.

The best outcome for dairy would be to enter into a comprehensive approach to opening up these currently closed markets by opening up progressively over 5 to10 years to allow total access. Then local dairy sectors could then adjust to the changing market.

A comprehensive freeing up of dairy trade in the TPP agreement would also markedly increase the amount of international dairy market open to trade, from currently about 8 percent of all international milk production to around 20 percent. This would markedly reduce the current volatility in world dairy prices resulting from the current thinly traded market buffeted by small surpluses or deficits in global dairy demand.

If Japan and Canada cannot agree with the need for a comprehensive TPP agreement providing duty-free access on all goods then they should leave the talks and come back when they are prepared to honour the promises they made on entering the talks in 2013 and 2012.

■ SUNDAY EASTER TRADING

Decision in councils’ hands

BY NICHOLAS JONES Councils will be able to decide whether retailers can open on Easter Sunday.

“The current rules around shop trading over the Easter period are complex and relatively arbitrary. The law allows certain shops selling specific items to remain open, while others must close their doors,” Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Michael Woodhouse said.

“It also includes several historical exemptions which allow shops in areas such as Queenstown and Taupo to open on Easter Sunday, while those in Wanaka and Rotorua cannot.”

Mr Woodhouse said that meant some businesses and regions had an unfair advantage, and there was demand from people across the country to allow for shop trading on Easter Sunday. “The proposed law change will enable communi-

ties to choose whether or not to allow trading. It will mean regions, especially tourist areas, can respond where there is strong demand for Easter Sunday trading.”

Mr Woodhouse said the law change would also give workers the opportunity to decline to work, with no reason necessary.

The fact that only changes to Easter Sunday would be proposed was because there was added religious and cultural significance attached to Good Friday, Anzac Day and Christmas, Mr Woodhouse said.

The Bill is expected to be introduced in the coming weeks, and the effects of the law change would be seen when councils make bylaws to allow for trading, likely from Easter 2017.

- NZME Right - Garden centres will be relishing the chance to open legally on Easter Sunday.

Australian steel products group Bluescope is to review its steelmaking operations in both Australia and New Zealand, saying it needs “gamechanging” savings in operating costs or it may stop making making hot rolled coil and billets and import it instead.

“The company is also reviewing the ongoing viability of steelmaking in Australia and New Zealand and comparing the existing business model with an alternative business model of importing quality hot rolled coil and billet substrate,” Bluescope said in a statement to the ASX yesterday.

“We need to fundamentally address our competitiveness to sustain to a business that justifies reinvestment.”

The review affects the New Zealand’s only steel mill, at Glenbrook, south of Auckland, but apparently not for Pacific Steel, acquired by Bluescope from Fletcher Building in 2014.

Also under review are Bluescope’s two iron sands export operations on the Waikato coast, at Waikato North Head and Taharoa, which supply iron ore for local production and export and lost A$31 million before interest and tax in the last financial year.

If the global price for iron were to remain around US$50 per tonne, cash outflows from iron sands mining could total A$20 million between the current and the 2017/18 financial year, the company warned. That assumes breakeven mining costs could be brought from the “mid US$60s per tonne” to the mid-US$50s per tonne in the current financial year.

“More than A$50 million in permanent savings in our NZ steelmaking activities” are being sought, Bluescope said in its earnings statement to the ASX, which showed underlying group net profit after tax up 9 per cent in the year to June 30, at A$134.1 million.

The underlying aim is to “deliver value from Australian and New Zealand steelmaking and irons sands through game-changing cost reductions or pursue alternative models.”

The future of steelmaking in New Zealand hangs in the balance.

Sales revenue for the year to June 30 in the New Zealand and Pacific Steel segment rose 12 per cent to A$972.1 million, but that was largely thanks to the addition of A$262.3 million of sales of ‘long products’ steel made by Pacific Steel.

Reported earnings before interest and tax from New Zealand operations sank into the red to a loss of A$30.3 million from a A$73.6 million profit the previous year. That included an A$11 million accounting entry reflecting the reduced value of iron sands inventories.

The Pacific Steel acquisition remained “a valuable domestic business”, the company said.

The Bluescope accounts also recognise $44 million in tax losses available to New Zealand Steel to offset against future income, but no further such losses will accrue “until a return to taxable profits can be demonstrated.”

Since balance date, the New Zealand unit has concluded the sale of its 28 per cent shareholding in the McDonald’s Lime company and will receive $41 million in cash before final adjustments and declare a $36 million pretax profit on the sale to Canadian multi-national lime supplier Graymont, which was approved on July 1 by the Overseas Investment Office.

MARKET REPORT Dairy Pasture growth forecasts are inching upwards as soil moisture levels and sunshine hours improve in the region, but temperatures are still below average due to the occurrence of many heavy frosts.

Managers are adapting as best they can as they cope with the rigours of calving and the new financial climate, but were buoyed by last week’s auction result which indicated we have finally reached the bottom of the dairy price decline.

While no-one is predicting the crisis is anywhere near over, the price lifts, even with the restricted volumes, were welcome and with those gains continuing in the dairy futures market a small seed of optimism is emerging about future prospects.

Lamb The small lifts in lamb schedules continue, but pessimism remains for this season’s frozen prospects as our global competitors’ production remains high in our important export markets.

Shoulder season chilled production is still strong and underpinning present price levels, and saleyard prime lambs at Temuka and Canterbury have begun the traditional spring price rise, albeit much later than normal.

Some shareholders of the two meat co-ops are keen to force these companies

to look at amalgamation and have joined forces, but the success of this action is delayed, waiting first to see what comes of the Silver Fern Farms capital raising operation.

Wool Last week’s South Island wool auction saw a bigger supply and slight easing of prices on the back of subdued demand for crossbred wool types, although halfbred and merino wools attracted good support. A big lift in volumes of wool passed indicated the market maybe under price pressure and news that the Chinese economy is faltering is a worry for our biggest market.

Beef A surprise drop in bull and manufacturing cow schedules this week has created some uncertainty that the big volumes of this type of beef may have over supplied the US market, already under quota pressure.

Saleyard prime steers at the local saleyards continue to sell well, as supply shortages affect volumes and local trade prices reach record levels.

The TB-free strategy in New Zealand is now becoming reality as this successful campaign beats its targets for the elimination of a costly disease from cattle and deer herds.

Brits smash Kiwi world wheat record

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

A British farmer smashed the New Zealand-held record for wheat yield by nearly a tonne over the weekend.

Lincolnshire farmer Tim Lamyman, the former United Kingdom record holder, harvested 16.5 tonnes per hectare of a new top yielding feed wheat cultivar named Reflection.

The impressive yield was far ahead of Southland farmer Mike Solari’s 2010 previous world record yield of 15.63 tonnes per hectare with Einstein feed wheat.

Mr Solaris said England’s cooler season had been to the growers’ advantage as that ensured good grain fill. He confirmed he would attempt a further record this summer and had heard a Temuka farmer may also try to wrestle back the record.

He said beating a record entailed a combination of factors including soil and climate, a good agronomist and a strong team effort.

FAR cereals manager Rob Craigie was impressed by the feat and said it was a positive for all wheat growers.

“It shows that there are potentially more gains to be made.

I’ve got to congratulate them ... it’s really good news.”

He was unsure of Kiwi farmers’ chances of beating the record this season with the El Nino conditions forecast.

New world record wheat holder Tim Lamyman from the UK inspects his wheat crop earlier in the season.

Mr Lamyman concentrated on feeding his crop little and often with foliar feeds as he believed it would be better at resisting debilitating diseases.

In the previous season Mr Lamyman recorded 14.5 tonnes per hectare with the cultivar Kielder and claimed a new UK record in the process.

This year he chose Reflection specifically to challenge Mr Solaris’ record because of its standing ability, large heads and high resistance to mildew.

He added increased levels of nitrogen and tried to amend a potassium deficiency detected in his soils last spring.

The same paddock used for the wheat record produced a world record yield of oilseed rape of 6.14 tonnes per hectare before it was beaten by Kiwi Chris Dennison in January with a yield of 6.31 tonnes per hectare.

Drilled on September 14 with a seed rate of 110-120kg per hectare the crop received a total of 330kg nitrogen per hectare.

Fewer aphids lower risk

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.N@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Lower aphid numbers heading into spring have been attributed to colder temperatures, arable researchers say.

However, Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) director of research and extension Nick Poole was quick to point out this winter has been more of a return to the normal temperature range.

He was speaking to farmers and rural professionals at a FAR spring farm walk on Michael and Tom Rudge’s Lauriston farm last week.

FAR research manager cereals Rob Craigie said the number of flying aphids caught in the Lincoln suction trap has been low over winter due to rainfall, followed by continuous hard frosts reducing the aphid populations in autumnsown crops.

This should lower the risk of the aphid-borne barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) infections.

Mr Craigie said crops protected by insecticide seed treatments and/or foliar insecticides into winter are at low risk of BYDV. As cereal crops are most vulnerable to yield loss up to GS31, Mr Craigie suggested monitoring aphid flights as spring progresses to determine whether another insecticide treatment was required.

In crops where aphids were not controlled prior to winter, another treatment would probably be required now.

“Directly searching your crop will provide the best information about the incidence

of aphids in a crop,” Mr Craigie said.

“This is best done on a sunny afternoon, looking at the underside of leaves.”

Relatively high numbers of aphids will be present until the end of May.

■ BEEF AND LAMB

Few turn up to meeting

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Less than a handful of farmers turned up to hear Beef and Lamb New Zealand on their roadshow to promote support for a yes vote in their levy referendum in Ashburton last week.

Those attending heard there would be no increase in either the sheep meat or beef levy in 2016-17.

The levy rate to September 30, 2017, for sheep would remain at 60 cents per head with a maximum levy rate up until 2022 of 75 cents per head.

Beef would also remain with the status quo of $4.40 per head with a maximum levy rate of $5.50 head.

Under the Commodity Levies Act Beef and Lamb New Zea-

land must ask producers (including dairy farmers) if they wish to continue funding activities and programmes over a sixyear period.

More than 50 per cent must vote yes in order for board activities to continue.

Northern South Island director Phil Smith said the industry body had saved farmers $161 million in sheep and beef tariffs during 2013-14.

One farmer at the meeting spoke of his concerns over live sheep exports because levies were not charged on the livestock leaving the country.

He said that 50,000 sheep at 60 cents a head equated to around $30,000 Beef and Lamb New Zealand was not getting in revenue.

The exports undermined the work being done by the board and did not paint farmers “in a good light”.

The farmer wanted the board to consider implementing higher levies on those exporting sheep.

Another levy payer raised concerns over dairy farmers voting no to the levy because they were looking to “stop spending money”.

Mr Smith said the work the board had done with beef, particularly in the US, had benefited dairy farmers as well.

He said the board had been talking to many bodies in the dairy industry to encourage a yes vote.

Voting closes on September 10.

Does anyone know anything about this telescope?

BY KATHLEEN STRINGER

T

his very fine telescope has no known history.

How did it come to be in Ashburton, who did it belong to, and even how it came to be in our museum, are all questions we would enjoy finding the answers to.

What we do know is that it was purchased from A. H. Ross of Dunedin. He was obviously a man who knew his instruments as the Power House Museum in Australia has a theodolite produced by him.

Archibald Hilson Ross was born in England and worked as the optician for the Eye Infirmary in Sunderland before arriving in Dunedin in 1859.

He worked for some time as the chief draughtsman in the Provincial Survey office

before establishing himself as an optician. He did not just make spectacles of the finest quality, he advertised that he supplied and manufactured philosophical, nautical and surveying equipment.

Archibald was an active member of his community, being involved with the Benevolent Society, Harbour Board and even acting as Mayor of Dunedin and Member of the House of Representatives for Roslyn. Described as an enthusiastic astronomical observer, he took part in the observation of the transit of Venus in both 1874 and 1882.

The telescope would have been made sometime in the 1880s and, created from leather and brass, it would have been an expensive item to buy. Does anyone know how it came to be in our care?

The first bus in town

BY MICHAEL HANRAHAN

W

ednesday, April 6, 1904, was a pleasant autumn day in Ashburton.

There had been a mild nor’west the previous day but the weather was easterly on the Wednesday and the first frost of the year was predicted for that night.

Ashburton people were going about their business when, at 1.45, they were, as one reporter put it, “startled out of their usual apathy”.

The cause was the appear-

ance of the very first bus to be seen on Ashburton’s streets. A 12-horsepower Stirling Omnibus, it had driven from Timaru in a little under seven hours, its average speed being 12.5 miles an hour.

It was delayed somewhat crossing the Rangitata River at Arundel by problems with the bridge.

The bus was not in Ashburton carrying passengers, but arrived as part of a sales trip.

It was imported by Mr A. C. Thompson of Timaru and he was taking it to Christchurch to advertise the vehicles, which were available in three sizes, 12, 20 and 24hp.

Mr Thompson had imported the smallest size, capable of

carrying 16 passengers, for a little less than £1000.

His intention was to start a suburban coach service in Timaru, but he was also sole Canterbury agent for Stirling vehicles.

He was also thinking of bringing the bus to Ashburton on Thursday afternoons to run cheap excursion trips.

While in Ashburton, media representatives and interested citizens were treated to a ride in the black and yellow bus that was finished with red leather upholstery.

In spite of their pleasant experience there were many who were not happy that the vehicle was foreshadowing in the near future a horseless age.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return - almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 - the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men. The Ashburton Museum, with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton, has erected in front of the museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the museum. This week the Ashburton Museum honours: August 27: George Pugh; David Watson.

August 28: James Duncan; Thomas Haughton Trevor Hickman; Edward Hugh Knox; Thomas Alexander McDonald; Donald Alfred Rae; Robin James Worley.

August 29: Isaac Miles. August 30: Edwin Hugh Senior. August 31: David Manson.

England’s form struggle

Auckland ready for Canterbury challenge

By Patrick mckendry It’s dangerous to read too much into pre-World Cup form - the All Blacks lost back-to-back tests in 2011 immediately before their long overdue success on the big stage - but England’s latest issues in losing to France highlight just how well prepared Steve Hansen’s men look only weeks out from their first match.

England were poor in Paris in losing 25-20 at the weekend.

Coach Stuart Lancaster - who has had four years in the job still doesn’t seem to know what his best combinations are, including who to select in the pivotal No10 jersey, and even the

English media are starting to wake up to the threat Fiji could pose alongside England, Wales and Australia in Pool A. They were also hampered by very poor discipline which allowed France to stroll out to a 22-6 lead with half an hour to go. That’s also something they need to get out of their system, because, should they make it out of the so-called Pool of Death, many of the knockout matches are likely to be won on penalties.

“We gave away penalties and our discipline was shocking,” said captain Chris Robshaw.

“Whether it was rust, or nerves, it wasn’t good enough.

Credit to France, they put us

under pressure and made us make mistakes.”

Rather than ease nerves with another victory after a close win at Twickenham the week before, the manner of England’s defeat - a bumbling and at times seemingly disinterested effort - has sent them, if not into disarray, then certainly a dark place.

Elsewhere, Australia coach Michael Cheika has just presided over a near record thrashing by the All Blacks at Eden Park and has selected only two specialist hookers in his World Cup squad plus a halfback in Will Genia who is well short of match fitness.

The 41-13 drubbing by the All Blacks could hardly have come at a worse time. It exposed shortcomings at the lineout as well as the usual frailties in Quade Cooper, who has received Cheika’s backing but who surely won’t be selected as a starter for the knockout matches.

They will be confident on the world stage as Aussies generally are, but there are obvious weaknesses there. Their scrum has improved but now they have the lineout yips and opposition teams might have noticed how they failed to cope with the All Blacks’ kicking game at Eden Park.

Colquhoun takes bronze in Pukekohe

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Matheson Colquhoun ran and pedaled his way to a bronze medal at the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Duathlon at the Pukekohe Motorsport Track last Sunday.

The 10-year-old competed in

the under-12 race, and was one of the youngest competitors in his section but finished in third place with an overall time of 31min 41sec. The Allenton School student posted a time of 10min 40sec in the first 2.5km run before finishing the cycling leg in 17min 52sec and running

the final 1km in a time of 3min 10sec, but was narrowly beaten

by Zane Powell (28.13) and Alex Brackenbury (30.00).

Colquhoun said he prefers running to cycling and was surprised to finish among the medals, but is now turning his attention to the Ashburton Du-

athlon on Sunday.

“My favourite thing is just getting out there and doing it and mostly my favourite thing is my run, I went off my bike and just went past lots of people,” he said. “I felt excited because I didn’t think I would have got in that place.”

Auckland coach Paul Feeney hopes both his Charlies play against Canterbury on Saturday, but then doesn’t want to see them again in 2015.

Charles Piutau was in sparkling form, in all facets of his game, on the left wing in last Sunday’s 30-24 victory over reigning Premiership champions Taranaki at Eden Park, but prop Charlie Faumuina was a non-starter after suffering concussion at training last week.

“It’s great to have Charlie Piutau, but I hope we don’t have him [next week when the RWC All Blacks are selected]. He’s immense for us. His talk, his leg drive, the confidence he gives Lagi [Visinia] and Vince Aso,” Feeney said.

He was hopeful Faumuina would pass all his concussion protocols to be able to suit up for Canterbury, mark Joe Moody, and make a late run for the World Cup. “Hopefully he’ll be right and we don’t want to see him after August 30. I’d love to have him out there and hopefully we can help him go to the Rugby World Cup.” Feeney was under no illusions about how Auckland would have to play to defeat their old rivals after being unable to put Taranaki away until the 79th minute, despite a surfeit of possession.

“On paper, Canterbury would be the best side in the country, no problem,” he said.

“They’ve got the likes of Joe Moody, Ryan Crotty, Matt Todd and Patrick Osborne. You chuck them in there with men like Tom Taylor and that’ll be a good challenge. We’re looking forward to it.

“We just have to judge ourselves on what we do each week.

We’ll be under the pump, but these young fellas are competitive and love the challenge.”

Auckland captain Simon Hickey - whose knee is now right, though he has yet to reclaim all the kicking duties because of not being able to put the work in - agrees.

“I think this win will give the boys a lot of confidence,” the first five-eighths said.

“We know we’ve got a good game plan, but it’s about putting that out on the field. We did that in patches, but we’ll need to do more if we want to get up over Canterbury.”

Hampstead retain hockey’s McLay Cup

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Hampstead ended an unbeaten season by retaining the McLay Cup in a 2-1 shoot-out win over Cambridge in the Mid-South Canterbury women’s hockey final on Saturday in Timaru.

Hampstead won the round robin competition with 10 wins and five draws before downing fellow Mid Canterbury side Hampstead/Collegians 1-0 in the semi-final.

Cambridge led 1-0 throughout the final following a dominant first half before Hampstead coach Karen McIntyre took off goalkeeper Kerry Chapman to bolster her attack in the dying minutes. The risky call paid off as Mel Burrows scored the equaliser with

three minutes to play before Chapman returned to her goal to see out the rest of the match. Hampstead then edged the shoot-out 2-1 to add the McLay Cup to their haul of the Veitch Trophy, Mary Smith Trophy and the England McRae Cup. McIntyre praised her title winning side for rallying after a disappointing first half performance.

“We started very average in the first half, Cambridge were all over us, then we had a chat at halftime, we said ‘we’re better than this’ and dominated in the second half,” she said.

“The first half was certainly Cambridge’s but we dominated the second half and like a champion team we hung in there and came back from behind.”

Hampstead ended the season with four trophies – the Veitch Trophy for winning round one, the Mary Smith Trophy, the England McRae Trophy for winning the round robin season and the McLay Cup for Saturday’s final victory.

Guptill steers NZ to win Martin Guptill has hit an unbeaten century to help New Zealand cruise to an eightwicket win in the second oneday international against South Africa at Senwes Park.

Guptill made 103 not out, reaching his ninth one-day international century with the winning boundary as New Zealand won with 5.5 overs to spare after bowling out South Africa for 204 on Sunday.

The win squared the threematch series, with the decider to be played in Durban on Wednesday.

Doug Bracewell led a disciplined bowling performance as the South African batsmen failed to come to terms with a slow pitch.

Bracewell, playing in his first one-day international in more than two years, took a careerbest three for 31 with his accu-

Martin Guptill

rate medium-pacers.

Guptill and Tom Latham made the victory target look easy with an opening partnership of 126, a record one-day first wicket stand for New Zealand against South Africa.

The previous record of 114 had been set by Mark Greatbatch and Rod Latham - Tom’s father - in Auckland during the

1992 World Cup. Latham made an impressive 64 off 81 balls before he was caught at deep square leg off leg-spinner Imran Tahir.

Guptill, who was dropped three times in making his first 40 runs, went on to see his team to victory in a 134-ball innings.

He hit nine fours and three sixes.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said his bowlers had to adapt their plans after realising how slow the pitch was.

“We knew we had to play above ourselves to get back in the series. The way the guys executed was fantastic - a great effort with the ball, then the way the openers batted.”

New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne struck twice in his first two overs, dismissing Hashim Amla and Morne van

Wyk to put South Africa on the back foot. The hosts never recovered fully despite a careerbest 70 by Farhaan Behardien.

Bracewell took the next two wickets in a spell of two for 18 in six overs, with Rilee Rossouw (39) and David Miller (5) both falling to catches when they mistimed drives on a slow pitch.

South Africa slumped to 107 for five in the 24th over when captain AB de Villiers also fell to a mistimed shot, chipping Elliott to short midwicket after making 31.

Behardien and Vernon Philander put on 54 for the seventh wicket before the innings subsided, with the last three batsmen run out.

“We didn’t score enough runs,” De Villiers said.

“There’s a lot to play for in Durban.”

In brief Darts tournament The world darts entourage including the incomparable Phil “The Power” Taylor has landed in Auckland for the weekend’s groundbreaking tournament with a promise that they will almost certainly be back. Auckland will be hoping it can hang on to this unexpected jewel. With the threeday tournament at the Trusts Arena in West Auckland all but sold out, the Professional Darts Corporation can confidently move ahead with plans to make it a permanent fixture, the PDC chief executive Matthew Porter said.

Balotelli to return?

Mario Balotelli has been linked with a shock return to AC Milan after club CEO Adriano Galliani spoke of his love for the Liverpool misfit. Balotelli’s club career has stalled at Anfield after joining the Reds from Milan last year and the 25-year-old played his last game for Italy at the Azzurri’s ill-fated World Cup campaign in Brazil.

But with former Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic now in charge of the seven-time European champions, reports in Italy claim Balotelli is on his way back to the club.

The Jamaican superstar struggled through his semi but saved his best for when it mattered most, winning the final in 9.79 seconds. Gatlin was second in 9.80 and American Travyon Bromell and Canadian Andre de Grasse tied for bronze with 9.92.

Mid Canterbury U15 A end season on a high

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury under-15 A netball team finished the Mainland Championship Competition in fifth place following two wins on Sunday.

Mid Canterbury A faced South Canterbury A in their opening match and notched up a tightly contested 29-27 win in extra time. Mid Canterbury trailed in the first and second quarters with South Canter-

bury leading 17-8 at halftime but performed well in the third quarter to reduce the deficit to three goals at 22-19.

Mid Canterbury levelled proceedings at 26-all at the end of the fourth quarter before winning 29-27 in extra time.

Marlborough A were next up and Mid Canterbury started strongly to end the first quarter with a 12-3 lead.

Marlborough fought back to cut Mid Canterbury’s lead

to two at 22-20 at the end of the third quarter but Janene McDowell’s players held their nerve to dominate the fourth quarter with eight goals to two for a 30-22 victory.

McDowell said her players showed plenty of skill and determination throughout the three competitions.

“The team has displayed some fantastic netball over the three tournaments and grown on court as a unit, enjoying the rep

season to the max,” she said.

“It’s a short season to get together combinations but the team has come together well and displayed good strength on court.”

Mid Canterbury under-15 B ended their season with a 28-12 win over Malvern and a 30-22 loss to Hokitika.

Coach Kirsty Naish said her team improved greatly throughout the six-week season.

Nibali disqualified Three-time Grand Tour winner Vincenzo Nibali has been disqualified from Spain’s Vuelta for being towed by his Astana team car during the second stage. The Italian had been one of a number of riders caught up in a crash 30 kilometres from the finish line of the 158.7km ride from Alhaurin de la Torre to Caminito del Rey. Having been distanced from the peloton he managed to make up the lost ground only to lose over a minute on general classification rivals Nairo Quintana, Chris Froome and Alejandro Valverde on the final category three climb to the finish. However, television footage emerged soon after the end of the stage showing Nibali accelerating rapidly alongside his team car as he attempted to make it back towards the peloton. - AFP

Late move south for Pure Champion Unforeseen circumstances have resulted in a late southern shift for the first season sire Pure Champion.

The Group 1 Windsor Park Plate winner has been relocated to South Canterbury’s Willow Glen Stud after his initial retirement to Totara Park Stud at Whangarei.

“We had committed to another horse, but our deal fell through after Totara Park had secured Pure Champion,” said Barbara Cooney, who runs Willow Glen with her husband Mike.

“Totara Park’s Dirk Oberholster has sadly suffered a health issue and with the time required to make a stallion they have decided to reassess their lives and so we have taken Pure Champion with their continued full support.

“We will stand him in conjunction with them and the O’Sullivan family, who will donate their share of the stallion fees to cancer research.”

An Irish-bred son of the English 2000 Guineas winner and Group One producer Footstepsinthesand, Pure Champion is

Cup winner Jessicabeel, Adelaide Cup winner Water Boatman and Fenomeno, who headed the extended 2013 world thoroughbred rankings, as well as suc-

cessful sire Sea Anchor. Pure Champion began his career in his native Ireland where he won the Group 3 Solonaway Stakes, the Listed Ruby Stakes and ran Group One fourths in the Dewhurst Stakes and the Irish 2000 Guineas.

He continued his career in Hong Kong where he was the multiple stakes winner of the January Cup and the Centenary Vase and also runner-up to Military Attack in the Group 1 Hong Kong Gold Cup. Pure Champion subsequently raced six times in New Zealand as an eight-yearold and he won the Group 1 Windsor Park Plate, the Group 3 Manawatu Challenge Stakes and placed in the Group 1 Makfi Challenge Stakes for trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott.

“He was a high-class racehorse, tough and sound, and he’s got a pedigree to suit our mares,” Cooney said.

Pure Champion’s fee has yet to be announced by Willow Glen, where he will stand alongside Minstrel Court and Saperavi.

Senior B netball champs Hampstead’s under-18 side are still celebrating after taking out Mid Canterbury Netball’s Senior B grade on Saturday.

Coach Sonia Waddell said the match against former Senior A team, Methven B, was an exciting one.

Hampstead came back from a tricky first half, the score 16-12 in Methven’s

favour headed into the third quarter.

However, come the last quarter Hampstead made a comeback to win the match 28-27.

“This was outstanding for this team as we went into semi-finals (against Celtic C) in fourth position,” coach Waddell said.

25/8

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’ve fallen many a time. How else would you have become so good at walking? Staying emotionally balanced will be easy today once you decide what to ignore.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It’s easy for people to forget what they hear, harder for them to forget what they see and almost impossible for them to forget what they do. Use this knowledge to make a memorable impression.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ll be able to duplicate what you learned, but this will only bring good fortune if you also apply your thought process to the problem. Stay wide awake.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There are many reasons to speak of your skills modestly, if at all, today. Perhaps the best reason will turn out to be the look on their faces next week when they see what you can do.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): “Hot” describes the thing that’s fresh out of the fire and unsafe to touch.

Unless you’ve acquired a set of oven gloves, it would be best to let that hot thing in your life cool down before you approach.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You have a deep inner zeal that is so much a part of who you are that you don’t even realise how many people walk around without passion in their lives. You’ll provide energy for someone who lacks it.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Whatever you do to cultivate your imagination — research, whimfollowing, exploring — none of it is a waste of time.

Your days and nights will be enriched for having nurtured a deep inner life.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It’s not what you know but who you know. Today it won’t matter what or who you know. Knowing things won’t get you through like feeling things will. Be compassionate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Whether the job is big or small, your aim is to do it right. Trouble is, you need good instruction. Your Internet search engine will be your best friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): New birth brings a sense of optimism. Whether the birth in question is a being, an idea, a company or a friendship, the result will be the same: hope.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): When the farmer was deciding on the evening meal, he wisely left alone the goose that laid the golden eggs. Remember who the “goose” is in your life, and don’t mess with it.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): They want to talk of past glories; you do not. The thing you haven’t done yet is the most glorious. It holds for you the potential of what you may yet become in your life.

Lydia Ko kisses the trophy after winning the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open golf tournament at Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, British Columbia, yesterday.

PHOTO JONATHAN HAYWARD/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ko wins Canadian Open Lydia Ko has won her third Canadian Women’s Open, beating world number three Stacy Lewis in a play-off.

Ko won the sudden-death play-off on the first hole, holing a three-footer for par to defeat Lewis, who could only manage a bogey.

Ko began the day in a share of the lead and moved out to a two-shot lead following a birdie on the par three third. But the

18-year-old dropped a shot at the par four ninth to move back to 12-under.

She parred the back nine to end up firing an even-par 72, and joining the play-off with Lewis, who shot a 67.

Ko previously won the Open in 2012 at Vancouver Golf Club at 15 years, 4 months to become the LPGA Tour’s youngest winner and fifth amateur champion.

She successfully defended her ti-

Colquhoun takes bronze P16

tle in 2013, also as an amateur, in Edmonton, Alberta.

“This feels amazing,” Ko said.

“I had an amazing week. ... To play good golf in front of great crowds was one of the highlights of this week. I feel somewhat Canadian.”

“I said, ‘Hey, you’ve just got to concentrate on your game, just one shot a time,’ and that’s what I tried to do,” Ko said. “I said, ‘I don’t want to get too aggressive

to that pin, but maybe it was a little bit too safe and maybe wasn’t the best shot going in. I made a really good first putt on my normal 72nd hole, and made a good putt on the first play-off hole.”

It is Ko’s eighth LPGA Tour title, and third LPGA Tour win in 2015, having previously triumphed at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic in April and the Australian Women’s Open in

February. She also won the New Zealand Women’s Open in March.

She now holds a perfect 3-0 record in play-offs.

Ko takes home $US337,500 ($NZ512,800) for the win, moving her to over $1.7 million in earnings for the season - second on the LPGA Tour money list behind South Korea’s world number one Inbee Park.
