‘Slow-down to be expected’

BY SUE NEWMAN

FULL STORY

The heat might have gone out of the Ashburton District’s economy during the first three months of this year, but it still remained on the right side of the ledger.

Economic data prepared by Infometrics for Grow Mid Canterbury puts the district’s growth at a low of just 1.6 per cent for the quarter, but those figures have to be balanced

against a long run of strong growth, says Grow Mid Canterbury chief executive Rob Brawley. “Despite the low dairy payout we’re still getting economic growth. For the past 10 years we’ve had 4 per cent average growth; that can’t continue for ever. We had 13 per cent one year and you can’t get better than that.”

That growth had slowed should come as no surprise because the warning signs had been there for some time

as dairy prices dipped, Mr Brawley said.

“We’ve been signalling for a year to expect a slow-down; there has to be with the reduced spend, but just because dairy farmers are spending less, that doesn’t mean there are not still opportunities for business.”

Smart condoms A condom that changes colour when it comes into contact with sexually transmitted infections (STI) like chlamydia and herpes has been invented by teenagers. Called the S.T.EYE, the condom is the brainchild of 13 and 14-year-old high school students in the UK. Molecules are built into the rubber that attach to specific bacteria and viruses which cause STIs. The molecules glow in a rainbow of colours, depending on the pathogens detected. The condoms are still at the concept stage, but one can only imagine the confronting post-coital conversations the S.T.EYE could spark if they become available.

Reynolds told off Actor Ryan Reynolds has copped flak from parenting groups for the way he has been captured carrying baby daughter, James.

In celebration of Father’s Day in the US, Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively, posted the picture of the proud new father smiling by the sea with his six-monthold daughter strapped to his front in a baby carrier.

However, the way the Canadian dad is carrying the infant is incorrect and potentially harmful, parenting experts say. The baby’s feet are dangling out of the bottom of the carrier and her head is obscured.

Parenting blog, The Stir, explained that when a “baby’s feet are pushed together in a carrier, it increases the risk of hip dysplasia, as their little hips are basically pushed out of their sockets ... The other thing going wrong here is that James’ head seems to be completely obscured,” The Stir goes on.

“Babywearers always want to make sure they can see their infant’s face, and keep their airways clear.”

Pharrell Williams working with Adele Pharrell Williams has been working extra hard on his collaboration with Adele because she only allows him 20-minute time slots with her in the studio. The Happy hitmaker has been meeting up with the singer to work on a new project, but she rarely stays in the studio for more than half an hour so she can spend more time with her two-year-old son Angelo. Williams says, “I’ve seen her recently. She’s kind (of) like, ‘OK guys, I’m (going to) open up my diary for 20 minutes.’ So it’s like, ‘OK, you have 20 minutes of 32 minutes’ really. Then she gives it to you and closes it up and disappears, and she’s off with her beautiful boy – and that’s what it’s all about... She is a masterful writer.”

Affleck’s interference A new season of US documentary series Finding Your Roots has been postponed after actor Ben Affleck used his influence to omit his roots to slavery. PBS, which airs the documentary, has found Affleck had undue influence on the show. Affleck was able to convince series producers to omit a reference to his slave-owning ancestors in an episode that aired in October last year.

Industry website Variety.com reports that PBS, along with New York station WNET, believe the co-producers violated PBS standards by failing to shield the creative and editorial process from improper influence. The producers also failed to inform PBS or WNET of Affleck’s efforts to affect episode’s content. Finding Your Roots is similar to the Australian version of Who Do You Think You Are? It uses traditional genealogical research and genetics to find the family history of famous Americans. It first aired in 2012.

■ WINTRY BLAST

Stock chew up feed reserves

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Farm animals in Mid Canterbury’s hill country are chomping through winter feed reserves while farmers wait for the thaw.

Mt Somers farmer Blair Gallagher’s farm is still under 30 to 45 centimetres of snow, frozen rock-solid by sub-zero temperatures for the past week.

“We had enough warning to get our stock down off the hill on Thursday, and we managed to get some of the hoggets off the property to grazing down country on Friday,” Mr Gallagher said.

“There’s been no thaw because we’ve had such hard frosts. Until we get a weather change, unfortunately we are having to feed everything.”

And that means getting up to 28 bales of baleage out to the 9000 stock units on Rangiatea every day – a time consuming task keeping the tractors running for about six hours.

Winter green feed crops re-

main out of reach, buried under snow.

“We haven’t really been able

to assess the damage. I imagine the kale crops will be flattened, the fodderbeet should have

fared better,” Mr Gallagher said.

“The advantage of fodderbeet

is that even if the stock chip it, it doesn’t rot – whereas a swede or a turnip will.

“We’ve also got quite a lot of Italian grass crops, that’s where the hoggets were, but we can’t get near any of that – so we’re feeding everything baleage.”

The hoggets were always destined to go off the property for part of the winter, but the decision was hastened when the snow began falling last Thursday.

Mr Gallagher was aware of a handful of farmers caught out with stock on higher country.

They had used bulldozers to cut tracks through the snow to bring the animals down.

“I think most people are under control now,” he said.

Until the weather pattern changes the situation is unlikely to change, and farmers above the snowline will continue to chew through large amounts of silage and hay.

“We are just hoping we are going to get a thaw now,” he said.

Handful of properties still without power By sue NewMaN

Sue.n@atheguardian.co.nz

One week after the winter’s first heavy snowfall, there are still people in rural Mid Canterbury living without electricity.

EA Networks lines crews have been working long hours repairing hundreds of lines felled by the snow and while all high voltage lines were now working, there are still pockets of on-farm repair work to complete, company chief executive Gordon Guthrie said.

Staff had been in contact with all consumers who were still without power and were making appointments to go onto their properties to carry out repairs, he said.

“We’ve had a good run on Wednesday but there are a handful of people out there still.

“Most of the jobs we’re on now are where we have to be pulled in by a tractor so it’s slow going,” he said.

Last week’s snow also confirmed the Ashburton District

Council’s action plan for road clearing was robust, said mayor Angus McKay. The council uses a threetiered prioritisation system for its rural road clearing programme, based on having all the main rural roads cleared within three days, he said. “’Priority one roads are cleared within 24 hours, priority two within 48 and priority three within 72 hours. All other roads are cleared according to need as soon as practical.”

The welfare of rural people in a snow event was high priority for the council, Mr McKay said.

“We take a proactive approach to bad weather, which involves Fulton Hogan graders being placed throughout rural areas in anticipation of events, such as last week’s snowfall. If necessary, the graders are able to start work very quickly if more bad weather hits.”

In the case of last Thursday’s snow, all roads were cleared by

noon on Tuesday. Nine graders were put to work on Friday and Monday, with the Methven township cleared by 6.30am on Friday, he said.

“Due to the depth of snow, some towns such as Mt Somers had to wait an extra few hours for roads to be accessible.

Clear roads are also important in ensuring electricity can be restored as quickly as possible following a power cut, and that emergency services have full access to roads.”

■ MID CANTERBURY RATES

In brief

Ratepayers targeted by ECan Ashburton property owners will be hit with a new, targeted rate from Environment Canterbury to improve air quality.

When the regional authority signed off its long term plan yesterday, it included a raft of charges and changes that will impact to varying degrees on communities across Canterbury.

General rates applied to

properties across Canterbury have increased only marginally, by 0.51 per cent, but targeted rates that focus on individual activities (air quality for Ashburton) have increased by an average of 7.38 per cent.

The Canterbury Water Management Strategy receives a 12.02 per cent increase in targeted rates across the region, while the targeted rate for pub-

lic transport in Christchurch has increased by 3.37 per cent as steps are taken to increase usage by improving the service.

In signing off the plan, commissioner David Bedford said it provided a robust framework that would allow significant progress to occur in sustainable resource management across Canterbury..

“Every effort has been made

to reduce expenditure to keep rates as low as possible, but also to effect improvement in our services,” he said.

The long term plan consultation document was distributed to all 227,000 Canterbury homes and businesses in midMarch. The response of 375 submissions was the greatest since the Canterbury earthquakes.

Old meeting chamber gets fresh new outlook

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

All it took was a lick of paint to turn the dark and sombre Ashburton District Council meeting chamber into light, bright office space.

As the council battles to find sufficient space for its growing number of staff, councillors have opted to hand over their meeting chamber and its adjoining lunch room to their staff.

Builders have uncovered windows in the west and eastern walls to allow sunlight to flood into the meeting space and a team of painters is on site giving dull wooden veneer walls a spruce up with white paint.

The work is being carried out under the watchful eye of council commercial manager James Webb.

July 10 is target date for the completion of work ahead of the relocation of 15 staff from the council’s property and finance divisions currently housed in an old villa on Havelock Street.

The chamber will become open office space and there will finally be room to grow, Mr Webb said.

Legionnaires’ disease Canterbury District Health Board’s health officials are now confident the source of Legionella bacteria that hospitalised six people, is no longer a risk to public health.

Canterbury medical officer of health Dr Ramon Pink said the last case of Legionnaires’ disease was notified on May 25. “It’s now been a month since the last case linked to the Hillsborough industrial area was notified to us,” Dr Pink said.

He outlined that maintenance and treatment of cooling systems was critical in minimising the risk of legionnaires’ disease.

Macular degeneration Macular Degeneration New Zealand is holding a free seminar next month about the disease and is encouraging Mid Cantabrians to head along. Macular degeneration is a chronic age-related eye disease affecting one in seven people over the age of 50 and one in four people over the age of 80 who suffer from vision loss. It is dubbed as the greatest cause of blindness in people over 65 years of age. The seminar will be held on July 18 from 10am until 11.30am at the Timaru RSA.

The future of the elderly villa is unclear, but it may have a short term life as storage space, Mr Webb said.

“I’d like to think it could have another life on a farm some-

‘Slow-down to be expected’ From P1 The district’s GDP for the quarter was $1.730 billion. Growth peaked at 7.9 per cent in the September 2012 quarter.

An indicator that the economy was still strong came in the drop in unemployment for the quarter, from 2.6 per cent to 2.2 per cent against 3.2 per cent for Canterbury and 5.7 per cent for New Zealand, he said.

Looking ahead, Mr Brawley said it was inevitable the slow down would continue, probably for six to 12 months, because dairying was the largest single sector employer. “On one hand we’re more impacted by dairy than some areas but because of the size of farms, they’re locked into some spending that’s not just discreA dtionary v i c e spending.”

A Kiwi design student has managed to win a New Zealand flag design competition dominated by overseas entries. Freelancer, a design website, weighed in on the country’s flag debate, but some were quick to point out the conversation about New Zealand’s future was being dominated by international voices. However the winner, Christchurch design student Denise Fung, has shown that Kiwi ingenuity is still a winner.

Her winning design kept the traditional colours and southern cross motif of the current flag, but added a modern twist with a stylistic fern cutting diagonally through the middle.

PHARMACY

$1.142 billion and for the current season it is estimated to be about $598 million, dropping about $544 million from the district’s economy.

Businesses needed to be cautious in the tighter economic environment, but there would be recovery and the indicators were all positive longer term, he said.

At the coal face of farmer spending, ATS chief executive Neal Shaw said that while discretionary spending by farmers had dipped, on-farm spending continued.

“You have to spend money to run a business and farming is a business,” he said.

“From our perspective we’re in line with last year with sales and we’re well positioned to ride out the next 12 to 18 months because we cover all sectors of farming, we’re not aligned to just one sector.”

■ POLYTECH MERGER

Education hub’s future ‘secure’

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

The Tertiary Education Minister is confident the future of Ashburton as a primary industries education hub is secure despite a signalled merger between Aoraki Polytechnic and CPIT. Steven Joyce has described the possibility of having one combined tertiary provider in the region as “quite exciting” and he believes it would be able to provide more resources and choice than the institutions would be able to separately.

He has also rubbished accusations by his opposition counterpart that a lack of government funding contributed to the merger.

Labour’s tertiary education spokesman David Cunliffe has hit out on Twitter over what he describes as the government’s “starvation” of the polytechnic sector.

Mr Cunliffe tweeted that job cuts were likely as a result of a potential merger.

“National’s starvation of

According to Tertiary Education Minister Steven Joyce, the Ashburton primary industries education hub’s future is secure.

the polytech sector rolls on,” he said. However Mr Joyce has slammed that assertion as “completely wrong”.

“This particular proposal is far more about providing strong provision across Canterbury than anything else,” he said.

He said he is “absolutely” confident that Ashburton will

remain a hub for primary industries training, which he described as “a really important part of the Canterbury story”.

The possibility of a merger between the two institutions has been on the cards since December last year.

It was announced in a report this week that of the seven options being considered, it was

preferred that Aoraki be “legally disestablished” and CPIT become the “legal entity” of an organisation under a new name.

Jobs could be lost under the new proposal, which was a response to falling student numbers, sizeable operating deficits, and increasing operating pressures in recent years.

It is expected that within five

years Aoraki Polytechnic will not have the funds to continue operating.

The report states that most Aoraki Polytechnic staff would transition to the new organisation while staff who do not want to make the move will be offered redundancy.

Mr Joyce said he had received indications that if job losses did occur, there would not be many.

The future of the polytechnic’s campuses, including the one in Ashburton, is uncertain, although criteria for any new operating model states that campuses within the Aoraki region must be maintained.

Ashburton has become a primary industries hub for Aoraki Polytechnic in recent years with a new site for its primary industries and trades programmes opened on Hepburns Road earlier this year.

Staff at both institutions have about a month to have their say before councils from the two providers make a decision on the best option to recommend to Mr Joyce.

■ MURAL DESIGN COMPETITION

Colourful message for wall

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

The exterior of the Ashburton police station is edging closer and closer to being turned into a colourful canvas.

A mural competition run by the Ashburton Families Without Violence Network earlier this year has now closed, and a winning design chosen.

Members of the Base Youth Centre were the lucky designers who will soon have their work painstakingly painted on the Cass Street facing wall.

The themes of the competition included keeping our children safe, growing great kids, loving families and protecting our future.

Families Without Violence Network co-ordinator Anna Arrowsmith said picking a winner was no easy task.

“It was hard to judge it, everyone’s ideas were different and really cool,” Ms Arrowsmith said.

Base being chosen as the winner was very appropriate, she said, as the design was

spurred on by the district’s youth with help from manager Bexx Soper.

Ms Soper took to the blank wall earlier this week to outline the design, and will also help with the painting.

Now Ms Arrowsmith is looking for volunteers to help paint the mural, anyone interested is encouraged to contact her.

“We can’t wait to get it up, it will be bright and colourful,” Ms Arrowsmith said.

“We hope it sends a message … and makes for a talking

point,” she said.

While the competition was a great way to not only spice up a particularly grey street, it was also a lot of work and Ms Arrowsmith said without help from the community it couldn’t have gone ahead.

“We just couldn’t have done it without Mitre 10 Mega Ashburton … they provided all of the materials needed free of charge,” she said. “[And] the police have been so supportive of this, we really appreciate that.”

■ ROTARY CHANGEOVER

New president, directors appointed

By HannaH CunningHam The annual changeover for The Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains took place on Wednesday night at the Ashburton Club and MSA. Every year Rotary has a change over at the end of June where a new president and new directors are appointed.

Clayton Howard handed over the president’s role to Murray Page. Mr Page has been part of the club for 14 years and is happy to take on his new role.

Around 60 guests attended the night that kicked off at 6.30pm for dinner before the grand changeover.

The new rating years is just days away from starting, but Ashburton ratepayers who qualify can still apply for a rates rebate on their current year’s rates. Residents may be eligible for a rebate of up to $605 if their income is less than $24,250 per year. Even if a person’s income exceeds this threshold, they may still be eligible, depending on the cost of their rates and if they have children living at home. Homeowners who have not applied for a rates rebate this financial year need to make an appointment with the Ashburton District Council before Tuesday, June 30 to apply for a reduction in their rates bill. People can check if they are eligible using the online calculator at ratesrebates.govt.nz.

Rates amounts can be found using the council’s online rating search.

The scheme is run by the Department of Internal Affairs and provides a subsidy to low-income homeowners on the cost of their rates.

Govt buys $11.4m pad The Government has paid $11.4 million for a swanky apartment close to the United Nations in New York for New Zealand’s ambassador to the UN which Labour has criticised as evidence of a culture of extravagance.

The 244sq m apartment is in the 44-floor Zeckendorf tower at 50 UN Plaza, just across the road from the UN. News of the Government purchase appeared to be by way of a correction on an Australian website when it wrongly reported the apartment had been bought by the Queen because of the wording in the sale and purchase agreement. The apartment has three bedrooms and three bathrooms and overlooks the East River.

■ JERRY COLLINS’ BABY

‘Long and delicate’ surgery The baby daughter of former All Black Jerry Collins is in an induced coma after “long and delicate” brain surgery in France this week.

The 12-week-old baby girl, Ayla, was the sole survivor of a tragic car accident that killed her father Collins and mother Alana Madill in France on June

5. French news website H-24 reported Ayla underwent a “long and delicate” cranial surgery on Tuesday at the University Hospital Centre in Montpellier.

She was then put in an artificial coma, which was believed to be a typical procedure after an operation of that kind, to

reduce brain swelling. Doctors would advise on her state within 48 hours of the operation and her condition remained critical.

The investigation into the deaths of Collins and Ms Madill, who came from Saskatchewan in Canada, continues in France.

The car accident occurred as the trio were driving home from an event at 3.10am French time along the A9 motorway near Beziers.

French police said they believed Ms Madill, the driver, had missed the turnoff on the A9 motorway to Narbonne.

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Turner of Tauranga Police said a 57-year-old unemployed man, who was living in the Western Bay of Plenty area, was arrested at a rural Pyes Pa address. He was charged with possessing methamphetamine for supply and possessing a sawnoff shotgun.

He said he had asked around amongst his skifield colleagues, and was delighted when Mr Sturgess, who works in food and beverage, decided to apply. It had been fortunate his looks also fit the part.

“I will have to practice a lot, but I think I will get the hang of it,” Mr Sturgess, who is five foot 11 inches, said.

If having a passion for theatre is contagious, he is sure to pick that up from Mr Hodg-

etts, who caught the acting bug while working backstage on a school play many years ago.

“I was captured by being able to be in somebody else’s shoes, to get really entrenched with the character, I think anything to do with the arts, it invokes really big emotion, you do it because you want to invoke emotion in other people as well,” Mr Hodgetts said.

A Law Unto Themselves is being directed by Georgie Sivi-

er of Ashburton. Fellow cast members are Tammy Dickson, playing Hartley, Kate Lambarth - Hamish, Patrice Hammond - Paula, Gemma Bell – Julie, Becky Dieks – Melinda, Annie Jacobs – Molly Anderson and Mrs Crabmoore, Louise Sandlant – Martha Anderson, Liam Woods – Albert Anderson, Mr Simpson, Mr Lewis and Mr Bailey, and Wayne Pannett – Kevin.

The play will stage from August 19 to 22.

■ METHVEN THEATRE COMPANY

Tall? Check. Dark? Check.

Handsome? Check. Mt Hutt Ski Area worker Conor Sturgess, from Sydney, ticked those boxes when it came to applying for a role with the Methven Theatre Company.

The company was looking for someone to play Stephan Darling-Smith in its upcoming production A Law Unto Themselves, after not enough men turned up to auditions earlier this month.

The 23-year-old has never been on the stage before, but he thought he would give it a go after his friend and colleague William Hodgetts suggested it to him.

“I’m in a new place, new country, new people, I thought I might as well give something like this a try,” Mr Sturgess said as he went into the play’s first rehearsal this week.

He had not known the theatre company was specifically looking for someone tall, dark and handsome.

Mr Hodgetts, 28, is a ski instructor on Mt Hutt. He is also from Sydney and he and Mr Sturgess knew each other from the city.

Mr Hodgetts often spends winters ski instructing at Mt Hutt, and has taken main roles in the theatre company’s previous productions of Little Shop of Horrors in 2012 and Wrong Window in 2011. In A Law Unto Themselves he will

In brief

EA Networks Centre creating 72 new positions, many parttime or casual.

About 18 months ago the council made a commitment to improve its communication with ratepayers after receiving a string of bad reports on its annual residents’ survey on the way it kept the community informed on key issues.

It created a media team to bridge the communication gap, but both of those employees,

Rebecca Lay and Nyia Strachan, have now resigned. The council is currently sourcing its media services from a Christchurch-based contractor until new appointments are made.

In a large operation such as a council, staff stability can never be taken for granted, Mr Dalziel said, with his planning department about to go from fully staffed to three down with two resignations and a planned

maternity leave departure.

The council currently has seven vacancies advertised on its website.

It has recently appointed a new senior accountant and 11 staff across a range of positions at the EA Networks Centre. The council’s staff turnover is about 20 per cent, average for a local authority.

Sixty-seven per cent of staff have been at the council less than five years.

A call for a private prosecution has come amid claims a dead man has become the fall guy for others who profited from the Dunedin City Council’s $1.5 million Citifleet fraud.

The call came from councillor Hilary Calvert after Dunedin police announced yesterday nobody would be charged over the council’s decade-long vehicle fraud. Inspector Jason Guthrie said in a statement Citifleet team leader Brent Bachop was “believed to be the sole person responsible” for the fraud, and there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone else. Mr Bachop died suddenly in May last year, days after being questioned about irregularities within Citifleet. Most councillors expressed a mixture of frustration and acceptance at the police decision yesterday. - NZME

Couple undivided A Kapiti couple in their 90s who died within two hours of one another in the same rest-home room were firm Christians ready to meet their maker, says their younger son. “They were strong Christians and therefore they knew where they were going, and they had no problem about going there,” Robert Nees said yesterday of his late parents Hugh, 94, and Joan, 92.

They had been married for 67 years after meeting in the Hutt Valley and died on Tuesday at Eldon Lodge, Paraparaumu.

In brief Bible study resumes The site of a massacre a week ago, the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church is being reclaimed by parishioners who are pledging to remember the loved ones they lost in a shooting rampage while carrying on the work of the beloved pastor who was slain beside them. Only hours before the body of state senator and pastor Clementa Pinckney was to be returned to the historic black church one last time for his wake, members of his flock and nonchurch members alike packed into the church’s basement to attend Bible study. It was the very same thing that was taking place a week ago before Pinckney and eight parishioners were gunned down in what authorities are investigating as a hate crime.

Village searched

A Syrian Kurdish sniper looks at the rubble in the Syrian city of Ain al-Arab, also known as Kobani. Turkish officials said yesterday the Islamic State group has staged a new attack on the Kurdish town of Kobani, which resisted a months-long assault by the Islamic militants.

IS fighters enter Hasakeh Islamic State group fighters have entered the northeastern Syrian city of Hasakeh, seizing two neighbourhoods from government forces in heavy clashes, a monitoring group says.

Dozens of regime loyalists and IS jihadists were killed in the fighting for the city, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said yesterday.

Swathes of the city are held

by Kurdish militia.

The fighting continued, with at least 30 regime loyalists and 20 IS jihadists killed in the fighting, the Observatory said.

The Britain-based group said the IS attack began with the

jihadist group using at least one suicide bomber against a militia checkpoint during its advance.

“Heavy fighting is continuing, with shelling by both sides,” Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said.

He said IS had taken control of two southern districts of the city.

“Civilians in those areas and nearby are fleeing to the northern parts of the city,” he added.

Control of Hasakeh, a provincial capital, is divided between Kurdish militia and government loyalists.

Kurdish forces are mostly

present in the city’s north and northwest.

IS has sought repeatedly to enter Hasakeh, including earlier this month when it advanced to the southern outskirts of the city before regime forces pushed it back in heavy fighting.

Meanwhile the Observatory said IS fighters have also re-entered the Syrian Kurdish battleground town of Kobane, detonating a suicide bomb and battling Kurdish forces.

“IS detonated a suicide bomb in the area near the border crossing with Turkey, killing at least five people,” Rahman said.

“Fierce clashes erupted afterwards in the centre of the town and there are bodies lying in the streets,” he added, without giving a specific toll.

He said fighting was still raging on Thursday morning.

IS battled for some four months to seize Kobane but Kurdish fighters backed by US-led air strikes secured control of the border town in January in a symbolic defeat for the jihadists.

And in the south a rebel alliance, including Al-Qaeda’s Syria affiliate Al-Nusra Front, has attacked government-held parts of Daraa.

‘Miracle’ mum, baby survive jungle plane crash A mother and her infant son who disappeared in a plane crash in the dense jungles of northwestern Colombia several days ago have been found alive and well in what authorities call a “miracle”.

Nelly Murillo, 18, and her son Yudier Moreno, not yet a year old, were found yesterday

near the site where the Cessna 303 crashed in thick brush on Saturday.

“It’s a miracle. It is a very wild area and it was a catastrophic accident,” Colonel Hector Carrascal, commander of the Colombian Air Force in Antioquia department said.

“His mother’s spirit must

have given him strength to survive.”

Murillo and her baby were taken by helicopter to a nearby hospital with minor injuries, said Carrascal, adding that he was stunned they were alive.

The plane’s pilot, Captain Carlos Mario Ceballos, died in the crash and rescuers found

his body in the aircraft.

They discovered the doors of the plane ajar and suspected that survivors may have clambered out.

A 14-person search-andrescue team scoured the dense forest for several days before finding the mother and child.

More than a dozen other people have been questioned by prosecutors looking for evidence of who fired at the police and for a possible criminal network operating in the village.

Police broke up the rally on Monday only to see protesters come back shortly after. They haven’t resorted to force since then.

■ UNITED STATES

Bomber issues ‘insincere’ apology Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev broke his silence on the death and devastation he caused two years ago with words that were not a political tirade or a justification.

He apologised to his victims and their families at his formal sentencing yesterday in federal court.

“I am sorry for the lives that I’ve taken, for the suffering that I’ve caused you, for the damage that I’ve done — irreparable damage,” the 21-year-old former college student said, speaking haltingly in his Russian accent.

But some bombing survivors saw his apology as disingenuous and incomplete.

“After we heard it, we wished we hadn’t,” said Lynn Julian, who suffered a traumatic brain injury and a back injury, and now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

“He threw in an apology to the survivors that seemed insincere,” she said.

US Attorney Carmen Ortiz said Tsarnaev’s statement was

more noteworthy for what he didn’t say.

“He didn’t renounced terrorism. He didn’t renounce violent extremism,” she said.

After Tsarnaev said his piece, US District Judge George O’Toole Jr. quoted a line from Shakespeare. “The evil that men do lives after them. The good is often interred with their bones,” he said.

“So it will be for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,” the judge said, telling Tsarnaev that no one

will remember that his teachers were fond of him, that his friends found him fun to be with or that he showed compassion to disabled people.

“What will be remembered is that you murdered and maimed innocent people, and that you did it willfully and intentionally,” O’Toole said.

Tsarnaev looked down and rubbed his hands together as the judge pronounced his fate: execution, the punishment decided by the jury last month for the 2013 attack that killed three people and wounded more than 260 others.

The apology came after Tsarnaev listened for about three hours as a procession of 24 victims and survivors lashed out at him for his “cowardly” and “disgusting” acts.

“He can’t possibly have had a soul to do such a horrible thing,” said Karen Rand McWatters, who lost a leg in the attack and whose best friend, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, was killed.

Campbell’s mother, Patricia Campbell, looked across the

The judge was required under the federal death penalty law to impose the jury’s death sentence for an attack prosecutors said was carried out by Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, to retaliate for US actions in Muslim countries.

Tamerlan, 26, was killed during a getaway attempt days after the bombings.

Tsarnaev’s apology was peppered with religious references and praise of Allah. He asked that Allah have mercy upon him and his dead brother.

Tsarnaev will almost certainly be sent to the death row unit at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, where Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was executed.

It could take years or even decades for his appeals to work their way through the courts.

Rebekah Gregory, a Texas woman who lost a leg in the bombing, defiantly told Tsarnaev she is not his victim.

“While your intention was to destroy America, what you have really accomplished is actually quite the opposite — you’ve unified us,” she said, staring directly at Tsarnaev.

Bill Richard, whose 8-yearold son Martin was the youngest person killed in the bombing, noted that his family would have preferred that Tsarnaev receive a life sentence so that he could contemplate his crimes.

Richard said his family has chosen love, kindness and peace, adding: “That is what makes us different than him.”

Tsarnaev assured the survivors he was paying attention to their words.

It’s not as bad as it seems Stu Oldham

I

t was inevitable that Mid Canterbury’s economic growth would drop as dairy prices did, but we must be careful not to overstate what some say will be its inevitable conclusion.

The latest economic data suggests the district’s growth has slowed and pundits suggest the brakes will stay on as long as dairy prices stay low.

There is no doubt the dairy price shock and the knock-on effect on spending and business confidence is having an impact well beyond the farm gate, and that some nerves are fraying.

The new data should not make the nervy more nervous – they simply say where we’ve been, not where we are going – but they will reinforce the feeling that times have toughened.

It is easy to forget real workers and real businesses are individually affected when the economy slows, and that some will feel the pinch much more than others. Our busy social services have known this for a while.

But it is important to remember that the local economy kept growing, albeit slower than what was a national high. The unemployment rate dropped to be less than half the national rate, which suggests many employers have their eye on the long game rather than the (hopefully) short shock.

ATS chief executive Neil Shaw is right to point out that our successful local businesses stay successful by refocusing their spending on what they need during straightened times.

Discretionary spending might slow while well-run businesses spend wisely, offering shortterm pain before the inevitable payback of sustainability and the ability to keep driving jobs and our economy.

That this is happening is easily overlooked here but in Parliament this week, MPs told a visiting Guardian reporter that Mid Canterbury is considered one of the best performers in New Zealand.

Where, right now, we might see a fall in growth, others with the future in mind see an overdue settling.

was gob-smacked to read on Facebook about the death of Stormin’ Norman Berryman at such a young age.

I was lucky enough to have Norman and Aaron Mauger in the studio with me for a morning when they were playing footy for the Crusaders.

I spent most of that morning laughing at Norman who was just a total clown all morning.

I’m not sure I’ve ever met someone so laidback, but yet so funny. It was around the time that he had hitch-hiked back to Northland after leaving an All Blacks training camp.

I asked him off air if it would be ok if we chatted a bit about it on air. He said: “Yeah sure thing cuzzy, fire away.”

I was thinkin to myself, I’m going to get some good oil here. Mics on and I charged in with my hard-hitting question to Norman.

He looked at me stone-faced and said: “I’d really rather not talk about that eh bro.”

He let me stutter something for a few seconds before giggling and then giving me his answer.

He was a hell of a footy player too.

I think the Crusaders got the best out of him as they do with a lot of players that struggle in other regions.

He was a talented runner with ball in hand and had a great step for a big man.

A former club coach of Norman’s told Sumo Stevenson this week that he once scored a try under the posts, wandered out to the 22, lobbed the ball over his head and kicked the ball over the sticks with his heel while facing the other way!

Then he giggled his way back to halfway.

That summed him up.

They’re selling for a little over $1500 or can be rented to businesses for $12-an-hour.

Although the up-front price is relatively cheap for a sophisticated robot (SoftBank is actually selling it below manufacturing costs), customers also have to pay monthly service fees circa $200 and sign a contract for up to three years.

So far, there are 100 apps available to download on to the device. No date has yet been set for when Pepper will go on sale outside of Japan.

Farmers oversubscribe GMP scheme In the wake of plummeting milk prices dairy farmers have rushed to lock into Fonterra’s guaranteed milk price (GMP), oversubscribing the scheme.

Yesterday Fonterra set the GMP at $5.25 per kilogram of milksolids, holding firm to the opening forecast farmgate milk price for the opening of the 2015-16 season.

A total of 45.2 million kg/ MS was offered by 443 farms, more than double the number of farms that applied this time last year.

“More of our farmers are seeing GMP as a financial risk management tool and are choosing to lock in a price for a percentage of their milk production,” the co-operative’s group director co-operative affairs, Miles Hurrell, said in a statement.

“We received a good range of applications from small to large farms from throughout New Zealand, who will now be able to use this income certainty to help to better budget and

plan for this season,” he said.

Farmers had the opportunity to apply for a GMP for a percentage of their estimated production at one or more of five prices at and below the opening forecast farmgate milk price.

The applications totalled 45.2 million kg/MS, which exceeded the 40 million kg/MS available for GMP agreements.

Because the programme was over-subscribed, applications were accepted from the lowest price upwards, with applications at $5.25 scaled back by 16.5 per cent, Mr Hurrell said.

Fonterra will use the certainty from GMP to lock in longer-term supply contracts with key customers at set prices, attracting an additional premium, which can help to secure a more stable EBIT return for all farmers, paid through the dividend.

This is the first of two opportunities to lock in a GMP in the 2015/16 season. The second opportunity will be in December 2015.

t has been a reasonably quiet week in terms of data this week which meant all eyes were firmly fixed on the Greek debt crisis.

Crunch time is approaching quickly for Greece who is due to pay €1.6 billion to the International Monetary Fund next week. As it stands they do not have the funds available to make the payment and need to secure further bailout funds from creditors to avoid a default.

If a last-minute deal is reached it still needs to be passed by both the Greek parliament, who have been vocal in their ill feeling towards creditors and the proposed reforms, and the German parliament, who are unwilling to give any concessions.

Despite the continuing uncertainty surrounding Greece, some better-than-expected data has come out of Europe over the week.

The definite bright spot for the region was the Purchasing Managers Index reading which showed business growth at a four-year high. This was in line with analyst expectations with particularly good readings from the region’s two largest economies, Germany and France.

This is a good indication that the quantitative easing measures adopted by the European Central Bank earlier this year are taking hold and the region is beginning to see an upswing in its economic growth. Looking at New Zealand, net migration hit another record high with annual

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

migration showing a net gain of 57,800 in the year through to May 30, the 10th consecutive month of record-breaking gains. Migration continues to be bolstered by Kiwis returning from Australia as the downturn in the mining sector has reduced the number of job opportunities. There continues to be an influx of international students.

The Treasury is now expecting faster growth over the next two years as a lift in migration fuels consumer spending and it also expects further pressure will be put on the housing market.

NZ consumer confidence also dipped to its lowest level in two years. It is prudent to mention, however, that optimists still outnumber pessimists in the economic outlook for New Zealand and the reading from the survey is still above its longterm average.

In market moving announcements, the A2 Milk Company received an expression of interest from two mystery parties to acquire the business this week.

The first was Freedom Foods in Australia, which already has a close tie with the company through its operations and owns 19 per cent. The other was revealed as Dean Foods, a large

US-based dairy company which has around 40 per cent market share in the US. The share price rose significantly following the announcement.

The US added to positive sentiment this week with several data releases that, although not hugely important on their own, overall added to the feeling that economic growth in the second quarter would be strong.

This was backed up by the latest revision to first quarter Gross Domestic Product which showed a much smaller contraction than the previous announcement. Given that the first quarter was hampered greatly by falling oil prices and an especially hard winter, it is not surprising that economists are now anticipating bumper growth for the second quarter.

Should that come to fruition and we continue to see positive data from labour markets, we will likely see at least one rise to the Federal Reserve Funds rate before the end of the year.

This was confirmed during a speech given by voting member of the committee, Jerome Powell, who said that he expected significantly stronger economic growth, further gains in the job market and a greater basis for confidence that inflation will rise closer to the 2 per cent target.

In brief

■ NETBALL

Pearce in Tahiti Daniel Pearce will feature in one of the strongest ever fields for the 2015 Tahiti International Golf Open today. With Tahiti being one of the richest event’s on the PGA Pro-Am Series it usually attracts a top field.

Pearce, who took out the 2014 Vanuatu Open and had a seventhplace finish in the 2014 Tahiti Open, is one of almost 50 PGA Professionals who will tee it up in the event at the Oliver Breaud International Golf Course. Pearce will join compatriots Nick Gillespie and Brad Shilton along with Australian young guns Tim Hart, Callan O’Reilly, Alex Hawley and the recent Samoa Open Champion, Australian Mitchell Brown. Twotime defending champion Ryan Fox is unable to return for his shot at a third crown but is enjoying a great run on the European Challenge Tour.

Netball clash a nail-biter

By Caitlin Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

A nail-biting 26-all draw between Methven and College rounded out the fifth and final week of the Premier netball’s second round last night.

Methven led the spirited game up until the very last quarter, when College managed to edge their way in front.

In the other two Premier games, Hampstead ousted College B and United inched out Celtic.

The top-of-the-table clash between Methven and College started out in Methven’s favour, the team netting the first four goals of the match within minutes. That, added to issues with accuracy in College’s goal circle, resulted in the quarter ending 9-5 to Methven.

Come the second quarter, defender Kate Lloyd put the pressure on Methven’s shooting circle and both sides fought hard to get the ball down the court.

However, a goal scored by

Methven’s Bindy Egden in the last few seconds rounded the quarter out 18-11.

In an aggressive third quarter College’s attacking end stepped up the pace, narrowing Methven’s lead to four.

As the fourth quarter whistle blew College came up trumps, scoring three consecutive goals and narrowing Methven’s lead to a single point. College continued to fight hard, inching closer and closer on the scoreboard, finally drawing the match 26-all.

A last second goal could have secured the team a win but the shot didn’t drop.

Some consellation for the young side was securing a win on Wednesday night during the Canterbury secondary schools’ SuperNet competition.

The team faced off against Villa in Christchurch, finishing off the first round of the competition with a convincing 41-9 win.

College coach Angela Mitchell said she was proud of how

her side played last night and the character they showed.

“I was pleased at their neversay-die mentality,” Mitchell said.

Methven coach Maree Macphail said while a draw was not the outcome she wanted it was a credit to how well College fought back.

In the other Premier games last night, defending Premier champions Celtic battled it out with United but lost the match 30-31.

Both teams started strong, the first quarter ending 7-6, with Celtic in front.

As the second quarter whistle blew, United tightened up on defence - the halftime score 1412 in their favour.

Pin-point accurate shooting from Kate Benny and Stephanie Polson resulted in the third quarter ending 24-17.

Celt-ic had an exceptional last 10 minutes putting pressure on United’s attacking end, receiving thunderous cheers from the sideline, but a win just wasn’t

on the cards for the team who conceded a one point defeat.

In the other late Premier game, College B had their fourth consecutive loss meaning they will face off in next week’s promotion-relegation game against Rakaia.

College faced off against a fired-up Hampstead side but couldn’t manage to get ahead, Hampstead rounding out the match 32-21.

In Senior A, top-of-the-table team Rakaia outclassed Methven B to pull out a convincing 40-28 victory.

Also in Senior A Collegiate trounced College Y9A 48-12 and Celtic B collected a 35-26 win over Hampstead B. Next week Rakaia A and College B will face off in a promotion relegation match to be held on Tuesday at 7.30pm, both teams gunning to secure their spot in Premier.

Other Premier and Senior A games will resume as normal next Thursday with the draw to be confirmed on Wednesday.

Defending champions Hampstead make just their second trip south in the Mid-South Canterbury hockey competition tomorrow. After eight weeks they are yet to lose a game and that should continue to be the case against Craighead. Their lone trip to Timaru netted a 4-1 win over Cambridge, and their last effort against Craighead was a 6-0 win.

Their compatriots HampsteadCollegians are also enjoying a solid streak, with three wins and two draws in the past five outingsincluding last week’s 2-1 win over title contenders Cambridge.

Tomorrow’s assignment is the third placed Timaru Girls’ High at home in Ashburton. The Wakanui men’s teams are both coming off losses.

Wakanui Blue were bumped by Cambridge 4-5 and Wakanui Black were beaten 2-3 by Timaru Boys.

Black will look to bounce back against Cambridge while Blue battle the struggling Northern Hearts

Wilding Challenge Local juniors have had to wait a week for their second chance at the 10s Wilding Challenge tennis glory. The Country Crushers were due to play the Central Smash in the final at Christchurch’s Wilding Park but with players affected by the snow it was postponed to this Sunday. Mid Canterbury’s Harry Dargue, Luke Slee, Amelia McKeown and Victoria Talbot are in the eight-strong Crushers team, combined with players from Malvern and Ellesmere. It is a replay of last year’s final - won by the Smash - but the Crushers took the round-robin clash this year on a count back – 70-68 on games.

Record prize money The winner of this year’s British Open will collect more than £1 million ($NZ2.3 million) for the first time in the tournament’s history.

The overall prize fund for the game’s oldest major championship has increased £900,000 ($NZ2.28m) to £6.3 million ($NZ14.4m), with the champion receiving £1.15 million ($NZ2.6m), organisers the R&A said yesterday.

“The Open is one of the world’s pre-eminent sporting events,” R&A chief executive Peter Dawson said. This year’s British Open will be held at the Old Course in St Andrews from July 16-19.

■ ESPY AWARDS

Can Ko beat Messi?

New Zealand golf sensation and world number two Lydia Ko has been nominated for two awards at the ESPY awards including the Best International Athlete category.

Ko is the only female nominated for the award which also includes nominees Cristiano Ronaldo, Lewis Hamilton and Novak Djokovic.

Ko is also nominated for Best Female Golfer alongside current world number one Inbee Park and world number three Stacy Lewis.

The ESPYs, America’s sport version of the Oscars, celebrate the best sporting a c h i e ve m e n t s every year.

Previous Lydia Ko winners of

Lionel Messi

the Best International Athlete award include Messi, Ronaldo, Usain Bolt, Roger Federer and female golfer Lorena Ochoa.

In early 2015, Ko smashed the mark for being the youngest golfer to hold the world number one ranking.

She achieved the feat aged 17 years and 167 days - Tiger Woods held the record at 21

years and 167 days while Korean Jiyai Shin was 22 when she became the top women’s golfer in 2010.

Ko has held the number one spot for most of this year, relinquishing it in recent weeks to Park.

Her coach, David Leadbetter, had been surprised at the how fast Ko reached the top spot.

He had not expected Ko to be so consistent early in her professional career.

She made headlines around the world and seasoned observers have been amazed at her ability to cope with the pressure - to emphasise that, she claimed the Australian Open title soon after reaching the No. 1 spot.

It’s only in recent weeks that she has struggled to maintain such a hot pace. Ko also remains without a major title after disappointing performances in the first two this year.

Manly in bid to keep Foran

Veterans lead the way as fitness put to the test

Manly coach Geoff Toovey says he has spoken with Kieran Foran in a bid to keep the star playmaker at Brookvale.

Foran’s future remains up in the air due to his contract wrangle with Parramatta, and the Sea Eagles have moved in a bid to retain the New Zealand international beyond this NRL season.

Toovey indicated yesterday that Manly were willing to pull out all stops to hold onto Foran, as they did with his halves partner Daly Cherry-Evans, when they looked to have lost him to Gold Coast.

“I have spoken to him, he has to settle those issues with his management and that may leave the door open for him to stay here,” said Toovey.

“His contract with Parramatta appeared set in place, but obviously things have changed.

“We always hoped to retain both halves, a lot of effort and resources has gone into making sure both players mature and we would love to see him stay.”

Earlier, Parramatta coach Brad Arthur told Foran to do what’s best for himself. - AAP

After a first day mostly spent being photographed and fitted out with new kit, day two of the All Blacks’ training camp had a decidedly more physical theme with the players put through brutal fitness testing.

Basic conditioning has been the one undisputed area where the All Blacks have continued to set global standards in the past few years.

The chasing pack has closed the gap on many fronts – perhaps some countries have even gone ahead in specific areas such as scrummaging _ but when it comes to aerobic capacity, the All Blacks still believe they have an edge over the rest of the world.

It has been a hallmark of their game in the past two years to dominate the final 10 minutes of a test. It’s in those oxygen-starved final exchanges where they have come into their own – hauling back Ireland in 2013 and Australia last year. The All Blacks are lean and they are fit.

But they want to be leaner and fitter.

World Cup games will go to

By GreGor Paul

Richie McCaw

the death. The final 10 minutes will be rich with opportunity if the All Blacks have the lungs and legs to take advantage and that was really what was being driven home yesterday – that all players have to keep pushing themselves harder and harder over the next few months.

And no one pushes harder than the skipper. Once again, as he always does, Richie McCaw led the way in the various running tests.

He was joined up front by veteran Andy Ellis and the two of them set the standards through a range of sprint repeats and endurance work.

“You know you can’t stay with them so you try to keep as close to them as you can,” said fellow Crusader Ryan Crotty. “It is impressive – they are aerobic beasts those guys.

They are fit. It is a strong part of their game and attributes they have to have to be able to play their game.”

Ellis, of course, has every reason to try to make an impression while he’s with the All Blacks as he remains an outside bet to force his way into the World Cup squad.

At the moment, he’s ranked fourth in the pecking order – behind Aaron Smith, TJ Perenara and Tawera Kerr-Barlow.

Kerr-Barlow hasn’t played first-class football since he damaged his knee in South Africa last year but he is expected to play club games and for the Maori before being available to play for the All Blacks.

His resilience, mental strength and desire to work his way back to full fitness have impressed the selectors, but Kerr-Barlow still needs to jump the final hurdle of showing he’s back somewhere near his best.

Point to prove Manly are bracing for a Glenn Stewart with a point to prove when they meet South Sydney tonight in their NRL clash at ANZ Stadium.

After being cut free by the Sea Eagles at the end of last year, Stewart is racing the clock to beat a hand injury to face the club he helped steer to two premierships.

Souths coach Michael Maguire has been coy about Stewart’s chances of making a return against his former club, but Manly privately believe the former Kangaroo will take the field. It is the first meeting between the two sides since Stewart’s departure from Brookvale. It would also be the first time he played a NRL game against his brother, Sea Eagles fullback Brett.

Cleared to play Orgin Sydney Roosters prop Sam Moa has expressed his confusion over the NRL judicial process after the downgrading of Josh Jackson’s dangerous throw charge. NSW State of Origin and Canterbury forward Jackson faced a threematch ban for his tackle on Penrith’s Jamie Soward, but was handed a one-match ban on Wednesday after challenging the grading of the charge at the NRL judiciary. While Jackson will miss the Bulldogs’ clash on Monday with Melbourne, He is free for selection for Origin III on July 8 in Brisbane. Moa also copped a one-match suspension for making incidental contact with a referee in the Roosters’ win over the Warriors two weeks ago.

Molo shattered For a second consecutive year coaching has taken a back seat for Brisbane mentor Wayne Bennett, as his NRL club rallies around Francis Molo. Shattered forward Molo was supported by team-mates when he appeared at Broncos training on Thursday just days after the tragic incident involving Queensland Cup player James Ackerman. Sunshine Coast forward Ackerman died in a Brisbane hospital on Monday after suffering a critical head injury during a match against Broncos feeder club Norths Devils on Saturday night. Molo’s tackle on Ackerman was referred straight to the Queensland Rugby League judiciary for a hearing at a “date to be confirmed”. Bennett said 20-year-old Molo “needs to be with his teammates” as he tries to cope with the tragedy.

Through to semis Portugal and Sweden made it to the semi-finals of the European Under-21 Championship in the Czech Republic after taking the top two spots in Group B while England bowed out. A 1-1 draw was all that Portugal and Sweden needed to reach the semi-finals while Italy were left empty-handed despite an impressive 3-1 win over bottom-placed England. Portugal won the group with five points from three games while Sweden and Italy both had four points with Sweden making it to the next stage owing to a 2-1 win over Italy in the group’s opener. Portugal will take on Germany while Sweden face Denmark in the June 27 semifinals.

Brumbies to appeal length of Speight’s ban

BY ROJE ADAIMY The Brumbies will appeal winger Henry Speight’s five-week ban, which their chief executive has labelled a “cruel and unusual punishment”.

The Fijian flyer was suspended after being found guilty of a dangerous lifting tackle on Stormers centre Juan de Jongh in last weekend’s Super Rugby qualifying win in Cape Town.

The sanction means he will miss tomorrow’s semi-final against the Hurricanes in Wel-

lington and the final if they win.

He’ll also miss the first two Tests of the Rugby Championship against South Africa and Argentina.

While the Brumbies are resigned to not having Speight for the remainder of the their finals campaign, they want to help get him back a Wallabies jumper as soon as possible.

Following a meeting with lawyer Peter McGrath, CEO Michael Jones told Fairfax Media yesterday he decided to challenge the severity of the penalty

and some of SANZAR’s findings.

“Even though there’s a statement that we’re trying to discourage this, why is he the guy who seems to have been singled out for what’s a particularly cruel and unusual punishment?”

Jones told the Canberra Times.

“We’re going to appeal two things - the application of what is viewed as a lifting tackle and whether that’s the right rule, and also in relation to the harshness of the suspension.

“That was our defence right

“It’s a hard position to be in because, even though you’re fully fit and ready to go, you’re not allowed to play in two of the biggest games of the year because of suspension.”

from the start (that it wasn’t a lifting tackle) and whilst we presented a lot of evidence to that case, it was still deemed that, yes, it’s a lifting tackle.”

Injured lock Sam Carter said the suspension was pretty tough on “one of the nicest blokes you’ll ever meet”.

“SANZAR have tried to clamp down on the tip tackle and putting players into dangerous positions, so I guess they really had no choice,” Carter told AAP. “(But) there was definitely no intention there by Henry to put

Rakaia eyes Watters Cup hat-trick

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Rakaia begin their quest for a Watters Cup hat-trick at home to Celtic tomorrow.

The defending Watters Cup rugby champions come off a bye which is potentially just what they needed after their tailspin at the back end of a failed combined competition campaign.

Rakaia lost their last three games - with a run of five losses from their last seven – including three losses at home.

“We’ve had to play with what we’ve got, and were found wanting,” Rakaia coach Wayne Foxcroft said.

“We have got a few players back on deck.

“The team still want the [Watters Cup] and still have their name on it but we’ll have to see if we are good enough.”

Celtic have been a bogey team for Rakaia in the Watters Cup round robin recently, winning the last two encounters.

However, Rakaia have won their last two meetings - a 35-15 win in the semi-finals on the way to last year’s triumph and then a 15-11 win earlier this season.

The confidence is high in the Celtic camp after grinding out a win over Methven - profiting the White and Bill Walsh Cups - last weekend.

Celtic line up more silverware, the Max Gilbert Challenge Trophy they lost to Rakaia earlier

this year, a game that Celtic coach Warren Mackenzie hopes his side learnt their lesson from.

“We can’t afford to give them a good start,” Mackenzie said.

“The last two games we have given them a 20 point lead and tried to chase them down.”

Just two weeks after winning the combined competition, Methven’s Watters Cup campaign is in must-win mode in tomorrow’s other match.

After the 6-12 loss to Celtic last weekend, Methven can ill afford to drop another game with this year’s round-robin leading into a straight final for the top two teams.

That makes their trip to Hinds to face Southern a must win.

Southern banked a bonus point last weekend to lead the playoff race and a win over Methven could effectively knock a contender out in week two.

The two sides met in the combined round robin, with Southern stunning Methven at home 18-12 to end the eventual champion’s unbeaten run.

The two forward packs are littered with representative players, making for an intriguing battle up front.

While Southern again have a selection headache in their starting eight, Methven’s depth will be tested with last week’s starting props Simon Fleetwood and James McLeod questionable.

Sum of forces results in Hurricanes revival

By DanieL RichaRDson There hasn’t been a silver bullet.

There rarely is when you try and fix a sports team and the Hurricanes were a side that needed to find a remedy.

They spent the past few years mired in mediocrity - mid-table finishes have been the norm since 2010 and they were only ever a win or two away from the playoffs, which gave you a nagging feeling that they could put it together at some point.

One thing they had in their favour was potential. Young players like Ardie Savea, Reggie Goodes, TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett are all talented individuals who have the ability

to leave their mark on a contest.

When former coach Mark Hammett, who steered the ship from 2011-2014, left last season all the tools were there, someone just needed to take the squad by the scruff of the neck and drag them to the post-season.

Coach Chris Boyd arrived with assistant John Plumtree and they’ve managed to take this team to the semifinals during their first year in charge.

They compiled a 14-2 winning record and can push through to their first grand final since 2006 with victory over the Brumbies in Wellington on Saturday night.

But quantifying their rise is tricky; there’s no one reason as

to why they’ve ascended to the top of the tree.

“I don’t think there’s a silver bullet and there’s not one answer,” Boyd said.

One of the goals the team had at the start of the year was winning the public back after some turbulent seasons where people fell out of love with the Hurricanes.

They’ve voted with their feet and Saturday’s semifinal should be a sell-out; a rare site at the Cake Tin for a game of rugby that doesn’t involve the All Blacks.

“Respect is a fickle thing,” Boyd said. “It’s very easy to lose and it’s hard to get back so it’s a long grind to get respect at any-

thing and you can lose it overnight if you get it wrong.”

Captain Conrad Smith _ the longest tenured Hurricane _ has been a part of the best and worst times at the franchise and said the building blocks were laid during the past few years.

Hammett was a key cog in establishing those foundations but his contribution may be glossed over by many.

“We’ve worked really hard as group for the past two or three years and I just honestly think it’s the result of a lot of hard work and it’s not just this year,” Smith said.

Key players have come of age.

Forwards Brad Shields, Dane Coles and James Broadhurst

have all accumulated more than 50 caps and their experience has been invaluable this season.

Plumtree, who looks after the forwards and defence, is also a sharp coaching mind.

The Hurricanes conceded the second-fewest points this season, it’s not a coincidence to see a team like that do well.

Barrett and Perenara are perhaps the best inside back competition in Super Rugby, a combination that has been developing since 2012.

Ma’a Nonu’s return to Wellington has been crucial too. It’s not out of the question to say he has been the best New Zealand back in Super Rugby this year.

Waimea win a must

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College makes the long haul to Nelson hopeful of adding another win in the UC Rugby Championship.

Coming off a heavy defeat at the hands of Shirley Boys’ High School, College will be keen to collect a win over Waimea.

College will head in as favourites despite the sides boasting similar records after nine rounds - with College having two wins to Waimea’s one.

Both teams are coming off big losses.

While College were beaten 0-45 by Shirley, Waimea was whipped 0-75 by St Andrew’s.

Waimea concedes an average of 41 points per game and has only managed to score a total of 56 points from their eight matches, the least in the competition, with their best haul coming in their 18-0 win over Lincoln.

The situation is simple for an injury hit College – they must collect the four points – and coach Dave McCrea plans to go back to what was working.

In their big win over Lincoln the forward pack set the tone early on and McCrea will call on a similar effort.

College are still a chance of making the top eight, just seven points adrift of eighth-placed St

Thomas, with six rounds to go.

Two teams they will play on the run home meet in a crucial match in round 10.

The unbeaten St Andrew’s, featuring ex-pats Luke Gilbert and Jack Griffths, have a crucial clash with a surging St Bedes – on a run of six wins after back-to-back losses to open the season.

Competition leaders Christchurch Boys’ High School should chalk up another bonus point win against lowly Lincoln, with ex-pat flanker Jesse Houston looking to add to his haul of nine tries as he pursues potential higher honours later in the season.

College girls in big win over Geraldine The Ashburton College girls’ 1st XV extended their winning streak with a big win over Geraldine in the Aoraki Secondary Schools’ competition.

After avenging an opening round loss to Waitaki with a strong 48-29 win a week earlier, the defending champions got up for a 50-5 win in Geraldine.

Geraldine scored first before College went on their scoring spree, with each of the Te Moananui triplets dotting down.

Erana Te Moananui, Jamie Te Moananui, Piper Jones and Annie McDonald all scored in the first half for a 20-5 lead at halftime Chloe Te Moananui then scored from kick off and would grab a second later in the half while Erana would score twice for a hat-trick to go along with tries to Serenity Timothy and Manaia Whatuira-Wereta.

Next week College face off against Craighead in Timaru.

Key role for Lentjes against Waratahs By hayden MeikLe James Lentjes will again go from club to Super Rugby and be asked to perform a key role for the Highlanders tomorrow night.

Lentjes was yesterday named in the troublesome No 7 jersey for the semi-final against the Waratahs in Sydney.

He replaces Dan Pryor, who badly injured an elbow in the stirring playoff win over the Chiefs last weekend.

Lentjes had a handful of games for the Highlanders this season before returning to play for his Taieri club in the Dunedin premier competition.

He is effectively the fourth-choice openside, with John Hardie and Shane Christie also sidelined with injury.

His inclusion is the only change

to the Highlanders XV that beat the Chiefs.

There are two changes on the bench. Effervescent lock Joe Wheeler returns from a lengthy injury break, and Trent Renata replaces Marty Banks, who sustained a head knock last weekend and has been ruled out after concussion tests.

Highlanders team to play the Waratahs in Sydney tomorrow (9.55pm): Ben Smith, Waisake Naholo, Malakai Fekitoa, Richard Buckman, Patrick Osborne, Lima Sopoaga, Aaron Smith, Nasi Manu, James Lentjes, Elliot Dixon, Mark Reddish, Alex Ainley, Josh Hohneck, Liam Coltman, Brendon Edmonds. Reserves: Ash Dixon, Daniel Lienert-Brown, Ross Geldenhuys, Joe Wheeler, Gareth Evans, Fumiaki Tanaka, Trent Renata, Shaun Treeby.

In brief An eye on Wimbledon Three more Australians are eyeing spots in the Wimbledon men’s singles draw after advancing to the final round of qualifying yesterday. Former Wimbledon boys’ champion Luke Saville, along with John Millman and John-Patrick Smith each edged to within one win of a coveted berth in the main draw. Saville beat 20th seed Thiemo de Bakker 6-4 6-4, Millman defeated Frenchman Tristan Lamasine 4-6 6-1 6-4 and Smith overcame American Bjorn Fratangelo 7-6 (7-5) 6-4. But onetime world junior champion Jason Kubler had his hopes dashed, losing 3-6 6-3 6-4 to Kazakhstan’s Aleksandr Nedovyesov. Australia is already assured of at least eight players in the men’s singles at the All England Club, led by seeds Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios and 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt.

Tevez returning home Argentina striker Carlos Tevez is to return to Boca Juniors, the Buenos Aires club where he played in his youth, after 11 years playing abroad. Speculation had been rife for weeks about the likely return of the star forward who won the Serie A title and the Italian Cup and reached the Champions League final with Juventus.

Tevez, 31, is a well-known Boca supporter, as well as an icon of the Argentinian club where he played professionally 2001-04 and won the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup in 2003.

Tevez is currently playing the Copa America with Argentina. Tevez had one year left of his contract with Juventus.

Purchase approved Billionaire Tony Ressler’s purchase of the Atlanta Hawks has been unanimously approved

by NBA owners, concluding a sale forced by racial remarks in emails discovered last year. The sale comes after a 2012 email written by former co-owner Bruce Levenson, which said in part black fans were scaring away white supporters, was uncovered last year in a probe following comments by former general manager Danny Ferry, who resigned this week. Ferry made derogatory racial remarks about British NBA star Luol Deng, reading them off a scouting report on a conference call. Ressler’s group reportedly paid $US850 million ($NZ1.23 billion) for the Hawks, who reached the Eastern Conference final before losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Queensland rugby league legend Gorden Tallis will be offered $50,000 to box NSW Origin forward David Klemmer after declaring he would have punched the feisty Blues player if he’d gotten in his face on the field.

Tallis criticised Klemmer after the Canterbury youngster seemed to have a running battle with most of the Maroons’ pack in the second Origin clash at the MCG. New Zealand-based Duco Events is prepared to pay Tallis to punch Klemmer in Hamilton on December 5 in their annual Fight for Life charity boxing show.

JULY 2015 The following meetings will be held in July:

Alberto Salazar, famed coach of double Olympic and world champion Mo Farah, has denied allegations made in a BBC documentary that he helped runners use banned substances, vowing in an open letter that “I will never permit doping”.

The letter was posted on the Nike Oregon Project website yesterday, on the eve of the US Track and Field Championships in Eugene, near the group’s Portland base.

The event is the US qualifying meet for the world championships at Beijing in August.

Salazar, the Cuban-born 56-year-old American, a three-time New York Marathon champion who also won the Boston Marathon and ran in the Olympics, coaches British 10,000m London Olympic champion Farah and runner-up Galen Rupp, with the latter seeking his seventh consecutive US 10,000 crown this week at the nationals.

A BBC documentary earlier this month in collaboration with the ProPublica website accused Salazar of violating anti-doping rules, with claims Salazar doped Rupp in 2002 with the anabolic steroid testosterone when Rupp was only 16.

“I will never permit doping,” Salazar said.

“I have not and will not condone any athlete I train using a banned substance and would never encourage any athlete to use a banned substance. We have worked very, very hard to achieve our successes and are proud of our accomplishments.”

The report also says Salazar encouraged using prescription medications for thyroid and asthma that were not needed for a competitive edge and abuse of the therapeutic use exemption rule where athletes can get approval to utilise otherwise banned medications.

“The allegations in the BBC/ProPublica stories are demonstrably false,” Salazar said.

“I hereby demand the BBC and ProPublica immediately publish a retraction of their false statements.

“I am saddened that these false allegations have been allowed to run with little care for the carnage in their wake.”

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Play your cards right and you have the potential for a communication and/or relationship breakthrough.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Mars is the planet that can push for a communication breakthrough, taking the support you already have to a whole new level.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) This is the point where everything can now start falling into place, though there’s a move to ensure life doesn’t become all work and no play.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) As Mars spends his first full day in your sign in nearly 2 years, your birthday month has suddenly become a lot more exciting and impassioned.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) It’s those stolen moments when you’re able to escape into your daydreams and simply let your mind wander that will prove invaluable.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Get a better read on the partnership between income, work and career forces with just 2 weeks to get things on the track you want them to continue on.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) A sense of adventure moves to a mind game, making it less about what you’re doing and more where your mind is at.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) The Sun and Mars have a chance to regroup, with the focus on fuelling a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Just days into your annual financial review your financial fighting spirit is likely to kick in, with a better sense of what you’re fighting for.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Your relationships benefit from the chance you have to give the past and unsaid words a voice, laying some old ghosts to rest.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) The only thing stopping a frenetic phase kicking in on the work front and a rush mentality from taking over is lessons learned in the past.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) The Moon’s monthly visit to your financial sector brings a need to keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, trusting your gut.

ABs to leave comfort zone

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY The All Blacks’ impending visit to Samoa is creating excitement for the players and management, but also a hint of trepidation, as news of the hot weather in Apia filters through a squad which is shivering even in Auckland.

The Samoan capital has this week recorded temperatures of 32°C, which, combined with a humidity factor of 100 per cent, will provide for a challenging afternoon at Apia Park. The test on Wednesday, July 8, the first for the All Blacks in the Pacific Islands, kicks off at 3pm.

In a bid to minimise disruptions during the build-up to the

test, the All Blacks will arrive on the Monday, only two days beforehand, leaving little time to adapt to the heat. Super Rugby matches in Brisbane in February are often played in very hot conditions, but leaving a New Zealand winter to play in such high temperatures will be a novelty for most of the players.

The other element likely to take the All Blacks out of their comfort zone is the Manu Samoa team itself. Some in the side will be familiar to the All Blacks players and coaches, but many of the overseas-based men won’t be, and a variety of clubs will be supplying players, including those from Eng-

land, France and Japan. Samoa, ranked ninth on the World Rugby ladder, behind Argentina and above Scotland, have named a 41-player squad for the test and the Pacific Nations Cup which follows. Chiefs utility back Tim Nanai-Williams has yet to arrive in Apia, while another New Zealand-based player, Hurricanes hooker Motu Matu’u, remains injured and will be unavailable for the test.

Other names familiar to New Zealand Super Rugby followers are former Hurricanes flanker Jack Lam, now at Bristol, and Rey Lee-Lo, a Hurricanes midfielder, whose availability will depend on his team’s result

in the Super Rugby semifinal against the Brumbies on Saturday. Former Chiefs and Highlanders lock Kane Thompson has also been included.

Former Crusader Kahn Fotuali’i, a halfback who represented Manu Samoa at the last World Cup and now plays for Northampton, will provide a running threat.

All Blacks prop Wyatt Crockett played for the Junior All Blacks in Apia in 2007 and has fond memories of the occasion.

“It was awesome, a great atmosphere. The locals welcomed us and looked after us,” he said.

“Obviously they’ve got a very good team, they’ve got lots of

players I’ve played with and against over the years, Super Rugby players, and guys who have moved on to European teams.”

Asked whether his teammates were ready for novelty of playing in Samoa – a big change to the usual test venues of the United Kingdom, Europe, South Africa, Australia or Argentina, Crockett replied: “A lot of [our] players have been to the Islands over the years. Playing there is certainly different. It is warm and humid, so I’m sure the guys will talk about that... what sort of fluids we need to take on and we might have some ice packs for halftime.”
