■ HAMPSTEAD RUGBY CLUB

Club complains of racial abuse

BY JONATHAN LEASK

Marquee goes up P4

The Hampstead Rugby Club has filed an official complaint after being allegedly subjected to racist abuse in Rangiora in their Combined Country Cup match against Saracens on Saturday.

Hampstead coach Regan Broker described the alleged abuse his players received from spectators as disgraceful, prompting him to place the complaint.

The alleged abuse was laced with racial taunts too offensive to be published by the Guardian and Canterbury Community Rugby general manager Tim

Gilkison said he was disappointed by the reports.

“Racism has no part in our game and our attitude is an absolute zero tolerance policy for racial abuse, so we hope it hasn’t occurred,” Gilkison said.

However, Saracens have also filed a grievance of their own which had Canterbury and Mid Canterbury Rugby Union officials investigating a number of aspects following the chaotic end to the match.

to what was already a fiery encounter.

Player Tevita Ula had received three yellow cards and one red card for his own trip to the judiciary and the side’s on-field conduct has been called into question.

The allegations of racial abuse from spectators have only further marred what was already a messy match – with both clubs set to face the judiciary this week.

Sheeran turns down creepy request Singer Ed Sheeran refused a mum’s request to be her nineyear-old daughter’s first kiss, because he thought the idea was creepy. The Thinking Out Loud star was meeting fans in San Francisco, California, when the mum offered up her child for a smooch, and Sheeran immediately opted to chat to the little girl instead. He tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, “She wanted me to be her daughter’s first kiss – and her daughter was nine. She was like, ‘Well, Carrie Underwood did it for this 11-year-old boy last week’. If Carrie Underwood kisses an 11-yearold boy, he goes to school the next day and they go, ‘Oh, you absolute lad!’ If a nine-year-old girl goes into school and goes, ‘I got kissed by a 24-year-old yesterday’, police are being called, you know?”

An early-morning ‘mammal hazard’ A Monday morning drive to work was anything but normal yesterday for Michael Saxon. As he drove through Papakura towards the motorway for his morning commute he chanced upon a giant seal in the middle of the road. “I was really surprised, I definitely wasn’t expecting that,” he said. “It was kind of just plodding along the road, it was heading towards the Papakura township.

A few motorists were pulling over and freaking out.” Mr Saxon said the seal was enormous. “It was definitely the weirdest thing I’ve seen on the way to work – hands down.” Firefighters and police were at the scene trying to coax the seal into a nearby waterway.

The call out has been coded a “mammal hazard”. The seal even has its own Twitter feed.

The parody account was set up yesterday morning. “Just a fish out of water – well, technically a mammal, but you get the drift,” the seal’s profile said. It’s latest tweet said “you’ll never take me alive! Well… unless you have fish. #brunchtime”.

Lady Gaga’s painful hair treatment Pop superstar Lady Gaga guzzles a wine and ibuprofen cocktail whenever she bleaches her hair platinum blonde to numb the pain from her burning scalp. The Poker Face hitmaker gave fans an insight into the work that goes into her dye job by sharing a snap of her stylist, Patti Song, at work on Instagram.com recently. However, in the accompanying caption, Gaga admitted she was suffering in the name of beauty, because she prefers to bleach her hair all the way from root to tip – and the coconut oil many women use to protect their scalp doesn’t always work. She wrote, “No filter. The method we used was to take me from a black Demi-Permanent to a very translucent sparkly white blond (sic). Although it was painful at times on the scalp, I like to avoid using any barriers with bleach so it’s as reflective and translucent as possible while still healthy. Advil (painkillers) and pound a few Pinot (wine), but rinse immediately if the scalp is burning too much not worth it to get blisters ...”

Teddy bear taken care of A battered teddy bear, Terence, sustained minor facial injuries on Saturday and was treated at a Dunedin hospital. Terence’s owner, Christobel Snow, of Dunedin, said Terence slipped, fell and hurt his nose, and he was taken to the Teddy Bear Hospital at the Hunter Centre. Tom Snow, Christobel’s dad, said he and his wife, Jane Snow, brought their daughter to the event to reduce her anxiety when visiting medical professionals. After Terence was given a clean bill of health, he and Christobel celebrated on the hospital’s bouncy castle.

Mr Snow said the event was beneficial for the young doctors too, as it gave them the chance to learn how to relate to small children. Hospital organiser Adele Macgregor said the hospital had been held in Dunedin for the past five years but it was the first time a child had been able to take their teddy bear to a dentist.

■ ACCESS HOMEHEALTH

Ten admin jobs could go in revamp

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

At least 10 Ashburton jobs could be on the line as Access Homehealth looks to streamline its administration processes.

Staff were called to a meeting on Friday where options were laid out that included closing the Ashburton office and moving administration to the North Island headquarters in Tauran-

ga. While closure is on the table, it is just one of several options, chief executive Graeme Titcombe said.

“No final decision has been made yet, we’re now in consultation and looking for feedback over the next two weeks.”

If a decision is made to move administration to Tauranga, that will not affect nursing or finance staff, Mr Titcombe said.

“We won’t be making any change to the actual service; service on the ground is important and that will continue regardless.”

Access Homehealth employs 16 people in Ashburton and the rationalisation of administration will affect 10 of those. Tauranga’s base has twice the number of staff as Ashburton.

The dual administration bases

were a historical issue and were established in the service’s early days when it was largely a rural service provider, Mr Titcombe said.

It could be up to a month before a decision on which base to close is made, he said.

“This is obviously major for staff and for the company.

While it’s a business decision, all options are on the table.”

Access Homehealth was established by Rural Women New Zealand and grew from its bush nurse and housekeeping schemes established in 1926. As Access Homehealth it retained its rural focus and continued to be run by Rural Women.

The care group was sold to Green Cross Health in December for $85 million. It employs about 4000 people.

Books still Adrienne’s passion Racial abuse complaint

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It might have started out as a job opportunity, but working in a library became a career that spanned 34 years for Ashburton woman Adrienne Moodie.

Last week a 25-year unbroken stint of service was recognised by the Ashburton District Council and Mrs Moodie is adamant she’ll be adding to that; retirement is not on her agenda.

She started out as library assistant, became children’s librarian and then left to raise her own family before returning as a casual staff member in 1990. Opportunities came, Mrs Moodie grasped them and is now happily settled into the role she loves best, in charge of children’s books.

When she left school she worked in an accountant’s office but quickly decided that wasn’t for her.

“A job came up in a library in Christchurch’s Redwood and I went there. Then one came up in Ashburton and I don’t think I even had an interview, it was just sorted out over the phone.”

Buying books for the children’s section is one of the tasks she enjoys most and as technology has become a big part of youngsters’ lives, Mrs Moodie said she’s noticed changes in reading tastes.

“Now everything has to be instant and action.”

Like most librarians, she’s an avid

From P1 Mid Canterbury Rugby chief executive Ian Patterson confirmed both Hampstead and Saracens had filed official complaints about the match but as it was played in North Canterbury, the matter was in the hands of the Canterbury Sub Union.

Any complaints and relevant reports will be assessed by a complaints review officer before heading to the judiciary if any further action is warranted - which should be known today.

“It looks like a busy night for the judiciary after things got a bit heated and we’ll see where it all ends up with the due process to run its course,” Gilkison said.

Either way, it is not the kind of attention the competition will have been wanting in the lead up to the quarter-finals.

reader and when she’s able to clear the mountain of children’s books that need to be read she admits she opts for something light, easy and absorbing, such as a good mystery.

While 25 years without a break might seem a long time in one workplace, Mrs Moodie said when you’re a book lover there’s nothing better than being surrounded by a passing parade of books.

A 22-year-old Ashburton man has died after a head-on collision on State Highway 73 on Sunday.

David John Daglish of Ashburton died in the two-vehicle crash west of Jackson’s Hotel at about 6pm on Sunday.

Mr Daglish, who was the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, died at the scene. Both the driver and the passenger in the other vehicle survived the crash.

■ BODY RECOVERED

In brief

Family mourns beach death

By DaiSy HuDSoN

daiSy.h@theguardian.co.nz

The longtime partner of the woman who drowned at the Rangitata River on Saturday is devastated by the tragic loss.

The body of Christchurch woman Jyoti Lewis, 61, was recovered from the Rangitata River near Ashburton on Saturday night after she went missing while walking her dogs.

Ms Lewis went out to walk her dogs on the beach at about 2pm, and never returned home.

Her partner of 35 years, Richard Quigley, said it was

hard knowing that he may never know exactly what happened that day.

“The only ones who know are the dogs, and they can’t talk,” he said. He broke down as he talked about his beloved partner, saying they were just starting to prepare for their retirement together.

Mr Quigley said his partner would often be away for two or three hours with the dogs at the beach, which she “adored”.

“The dogs were her life, Rangitata was her life, she just loved the place,” he said.

When Ms Lewis failed to return later that day, Mr Quigley went to look for her.

“It was getting a wee bit late so I went down looking for her and I saw one dog walking back on its own,” he said.

At first he thought Ms Lewis may have already arrived back at the Rangitata Huts bach they had owned for 19 years.

However when he found their other dog alone on the shore he knew something was wrong and reported her as missing.

Police deployed a helicopter to conduct an aerial search,

and Ms Lewis’ body was later located near to the shore a few kilometres north of the Rangitata River and recovered by the Coastguard.

Mr Quigley said the cause of death had been confirmed as death by drowning.

In a statement released yesterday afternoon a police spokesperson said Ms Lewis’ next of kin had were still in shock at the sudden loss of a “valued friend and member of their family”, and they had been offered the services of Victim Support.

■ HARNESS JEWELS

Marquees take shape for Jewels magic Today it’s just a metal frame, but on Saturday it will be the race day home to more than 320 people who will be wining, dining and watching the running of this year’s Harness Jewels in comfort.

Yesterday work began at Ashburton Racecourse erecting two large marquees that between them will seat 620 race day patrons. The Stella Artois and Parade Ring marquees will come complete with betting dining, bar and television facilities.

Ashburton alternates the hosting of the Harness Jewels with Cambridge and this year, weeks before the event, the two big ticket marquees were a sell out, said raceway secretary Gareth Murfitt.

Tickets for the Lindauer luncheon have also been in hot demand, with all packages sold out much earlier than on previous Jewels days, he said.

- A male was processed for drink driving in Ashburton on Saturday at 12.42am. He recorded an excess breath alcohol level of 548mcg per litre of breath.

- A male was processed for driving while disqualified at 11.28pm on Friday. His vehicle was impounded.

- Police attended a vehicle accident on Mitcham Road at 1pm on Friday after a truck and trailer flipped. The driver was transported to Ashburton Hospital to be checked for injuries.

- A gold signet ring has been handed into the Ashburton Police Station.

World play day The Ashburton Toy Library will be celebrating World Play Day and supporting Toy Library Awareness Week on Thursday with an open day. The library will be open from 9.30am until 12.30pm and families from around the district are encourage to visit and experience what the library has to offer. Toy library president Jane Fowles said the non-profit organisation’s main focus is to promote family interaction through play and help parents and caregivers to learn about the different stages of child development.

ting Club decided to make a start on erecting the two large marquees a day earlier this year and work is anticipated to be completed tonight.

While hospitality packages have sold out, there will still be plenty of great viewing and re-

first three months of the year whereas anecdotal evidence was that those months had been strong.

“These figures (electronic transactions) match what we’re hearing back from our key operators on their summer performance and on regional and national growth trends around us,” he said.

And those numbers could be set to climb, Mr Birt said, if conversations at this year’s big tourism showcase event Trenz, translate into bookings.

As the industry showcase event wraps up, Mr Birt has returned home buoyed by the

strong interest shown in the Ashburton District by tourism operators from a wide range of countries.

Its biggest business at Trenz was with the Chinese market and Mr Birt believes China, along with India and Indonesia will be big growth markets over the next year.

“We expect the annual growth rate for Chinese visitors to outstrip all other traditional markets and we’re already seeing a marked change in the travel patterns of Chinese visitors. They are visiting more regions of New Zealand and taking on a wider range of

activities,” he said.

While the Chinese were a strong presence, there was also new interest from developing markets in India, Indonesia and Brazil.

Over four days, Experience Mid Canterbury had formal appointments with 46 agents from a range of countries.

Methven Travel’s Dave Dynes was also on the Experience Mid Canterbury team and with a transport provider on hand it provided a good opportunity to talk package tours and transport options, which are often a key barrier in travel itineraries, Mr Birt said.

The pet friendliness of Ashburton workplaces will be tested early next month on New Zealand’s pets a work day. While the benefits of having pets in an office have been well proven, most workplaces are not particularly enthusiastic about staff arriving with a cat, dog or bird in tow. Research shows that pets in the workplace lower stress levels, create higher levels of job satisfaction and increase productivity. Purina Pets at Work Day is on June 5.

Word famine Tilly O’Shaughnessy and her sister Eilish successfully completed 20 hours without saying a word.

The Chertsey School pupils’ feat was in aid of the 40 Hour Famine, with all the money raised going towards establishing emergency feeding programmes, teaching families how to grow vegetables and improving access to health and nutrition services in Bangladesh. Tilly, 10, and nineyear-old Eilish’s mother Yvette said the weekend went brilliantly.

“They appeared on the What Now television programme via Skype [on Sunday] so we even had to extend the time frame,” Mrs O’Shaughnessy said. “It was hilarious as we all still had our bed hair and PJs on, I had to do the talking and they had to nod and just look cute.”

St John callouts Ashburton’s St John ambulance service travelled 3185 kilometres last week attending 104 calls.

Of those 48 were urgent. Staff attended 72 medical calls and 31 accidents.

Stickers encourage Gypsy Day talk As Gypsy Day approaches, a group of Ashburton Borough School pupils has come up with a novel way of encouraging schools and new families to communicate.

Gypsy Day, which traditionally falls on June 1, marks the start of the new dairy season. The new season sees sharemilkers and workers shift to start new contracts and

farmers move stock on to winter grazing.

As part of a learning exercise about Gypsy Day and the transient nature of schooling for some children, the pupils decided to design and make stickers to encourage communication during the moves.

Councillors brace for long debate on spending plan

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton District councillors are battening down the hatches for a marathon week of hearings on the district’s longterm plan.

With 356 submissions made on the council’s spending plan for the next 10 years and more than 50 of those individuals and organisations wanting to talk to the council about their ideas and concerns, the hearings and deliberations are likely to run until Friday.

While the long-term plan that was put out for public consultation asked for input on five key issues - roading, a hydroslide for the EA Networks Centre, stockwater, the Rakaia sports facility and the district’s civic building and library, submitters made their thoughts known across a wide range of subjects.

There were many comments made about next year’s planned 6.5 per cent rate increase. And even more about a proposed 11.1 per cent increase in year three of the long-term plan (2017/2018).

Requests were made for the council to

smooth rate rises out between the proposed 3.8 per cent in year two and year three’s big hike.

The year three increase is driven by the change to a wheelie bin kerbside rubbish collection that has already been through a public consultation process, with the majority of residents wanting this to occur that year.

Most submitters considered money spent on roading was money well spent and supported the council’s decision to add $650,000 of unsubsidised money to next year’s budget.

When it came to a hydroslide in the EA Networks Centre, while many submitters supported the project, opinion was divided on both funding and running costs.

A proposed sports facility for Rakaia, however, did not generate such strong support with many submitters concerned it would not be well used and that Rakaia’s population was not large enough to generate sufficient use.

A new civic building and library could also be a hard sell.

Families of the men killed in the Pike River mine blast say a $3.4 million payment does not equal justice. A judicial review into the decision to drop charges against mine boss Peter Whittall was launched in the High Court at Wellington yesterday.

Mr Whittall had faced 12 charges related to failing to ensure the safety of workers in the mine, but these were dropped in December 2013.

That same day, Mr Whittall and the Pike River directors offered a voluntary reparation payment of $110,000 to the families of each of the men killed in the blast, as well as the two survivors.

Sonya Rockhouse, who lost her son Ben in the explosion, and Anna Osborne, who lost her husband Milton, have taken the legal action. Their lawyer Nigel Hampton, QC, said affidavits showed the women had lost faith in the justice system.

He said the dismissal of the charges against Mr Whittall did not take into account the seriousness of those charges, and the deaths of the 29 men.

Mr Hampton said a deal was struck for Mr Whittall’s charges to be dropped if $3.4 million of insurance money was paid.

But the deal made behind closed doors was contrary to victims’ rights and open justice.

■ HOSPICE MID CANTERBURY

Hospice care explained A group of six Mid Cantabrians have made it their mission to make the hospice philosophy of care available for people in the Ashburton District.

They’ve formed Hospice Mid Canterbury which is an associate member of Hospice New Zealand and they’re about to take their plans to the community.

On Friday the trustees are holding a public meeting where two experts will talk about the hospice philosophy of care, a wrap around service that provides physical, emotional, social and spiritual support to a person with a life-ending illness as well as for their family.

Friday’s meeting is open to anyone who wants to learn more about

hospice, with Hospice NZ patron and ambassador Jo Seagar and palliative care nurse consultant Kate Reid guest speakers.

While the service is still new in Ashburton, three biography writers are in training and the range of services offered will grow as funding becomes available and volunteers are trained.

Trustee Jane Wright said hospice was a philosophy rather than a building and it did not operate in competition with other care groups. It was complementary and would bolster services already offered, she said.

The meeting will be held at the Hotel Ashburton on May 29 at 12.15pm (refreshments available from noon).

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Tracking device brings supervision A man who installed a tracking device on his former partner’s car has been sentenced on a charge of unlawfully interfering with a motor vehicle.

Ian Waite, 50, appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

The court was told his relationship with the complainant had reached the point of no return, but a week prior to her moving out, Waite secretly installed a GPS tracking system on her car.

She discovered it some three months later, and in her victim impact statement pre-empted that Waite would say he had put the device there for her own protection when challenged, Judge Maze said.

Although the device was not activated, and therefore of no practical use, its discovery had a “significant impact” on the complainant, who had taken out a protection order against Waite out of concern about his behaviour in the weeks following the breakup.

Judge Maze said there was an element of stalking in Waite’s behaviour.

“In these circumstances something by way of deterrence is required,” she said, before convicting Waite and sentencing him to nine months supervision, to include anger management and a course of counselling to address domestic violence. He must also make an emotional harm payment of $500 to the victim within 28 days.

A few bevvies with some mates went pear-shaped, and ended badly for Adam Michael Scott – who appeared in court yesterday to face a charge of assault

with intent to injure.

The court was told Scott, 26, was drinking with flatmates and a visitor, when an argument broke out over a broken window.

Matters escalated and punches were thrown in a three-way brawl.

Scott intervened by throwing a hammer which hit the complainant in the back of the head.

He then followed through by punching the man in the head several times.

With assistance from another person the victim was able to get out of the house, but collapsed soon afterward.

A passing motorist was flagged down and the victim was taken to hospital where he was treated and monitored for head injuries.

Scott’s explanation was that he picked up the first object at hand to defend his flatmate. The matter was referred to restorative justice, and Scott will return to court for sentencing in July.

Shane Allen Shanahan will wait out his remand in custody, after a plea for electronically monitored bail was rejected by Judge Maze yesterday.

Shanahan, 31, has admitted charges of assaulting a woman, assault with intent to injure, possessing an offensive weapon (a mace), driving while suspended and breaching a community work sentence.

In the midst of an argument in March, the court was told Shanahan shoved his finger down his victim’s throat. She required hospital treatment.

He said the incident occurred while the couple were play fighting, and conceded he may have “nicked her mouth”.

Police were called to the ad-

dress again in April, where a safety order was issued against Shanahan – ordering him to stay off the property for two days.

He returned later that day, grabbed the victim from behind and pulled her to the ground.

He then place a hand around her neck leaving bruising. He said he put his arms around her to calm her down and his hand slipped up to her neck.

Judge Maze said most of the offending had occurred while Shanahan was still subject to sentence for a robbery, and the victim was in fear of his release from custody. She noted his return to the community will need to be managed with some care, before declining the request for electronically monitored bail and returned him to custody. He will be sentenced on June 22.

A Hinds man with a significant history of drug-related crime has been sentenced for cultivating cannabis.

Darryl Robert Fraser, 50, was running an indoor cannabis-growing operation containing 90 seedlings and 17 mature plants when the police called in February. Two mature plants were also found growing outside.

Fraser’s lawyer Michelle Barrell argued the cannabis was for his own use, and there was no evidence of dealing. She said Fraser used cannabis to control pain, and while he had a history of drug use he was now taking steps to address his problems.

Ms Barrell said Fraser had lost his job because of the offending, and had set a small firewood business to support himself.

Judge Maze accepted there was nothing to suggest Fraser was dealing before sentencing

him to three months on community detention and nine months intensive supervision – to include drug and alcohol assessment and treatment as directed.

An order was made for the destruction of the cannabis and equipment.

Driving matters

Akuila Veamatahau, 19, of Ashburton, admitted charges of burglary and unlawfully taking a bicycle.

Veamatahau entered the next door neighbour’s garage and took electronic items and two bottles of alcohol in early March, because he was angry with his mother. Everything bar the alcohol was recovered.

In brief

■ JAPAN

Proposal ‘whaling in disguise’ Hundreds of scientists have rallied against a new Japanese proposal to kill whales in the name of research - a plan one New Zealand marine biologist calls whaling in disguise.

Nearly 500 researchers from 30 countries have signed a letter to the International Whaling Commission’s scientific committee, calling on it to reject the plan.

The committee, currently meeting in San Diego, is reviewing Japan’s proposal to renew large-scale whaling operations in the upcoming summer season in the southern hemisphere.

Last year, the International Court of Justice ordered Japan to close its “scientific” whaling programme in Antarctica, concluding that its JARPA II programme did not comply with the purpose of scientific research under the IWC and was therefore not science.

The court also found the whaling operations violated the moratorium on commer-

Nearly 500 researchers from 30 countries have signed a letter to the International Whaling Commission’s scientific committee.

cial whaling and the integrity of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, where the killing of these marine mammals was forbidden independently of their conservation status.

Following the ruling, the IWC approved a New Zealand proposed resolution to tighten the rules around research whaling, and passed a resolution to uphold the ICJ ruling that scientific whaling in Antarctica was illegal and no further permits should be issued.

But in November, Japan submitted to the IWC its new “Proposed Research Plan for New Scientific Whale Research Program in the Antarctic Ocean” (NEWREP-A), which focuses on minke whales with plans to kill 333 of the species each year over a 12-year period.

University of Auckland biologist Dr Rochelle Constantine told the Herald the programme was “exactly the same story as we’ve always had - it’s whaling in the disguise as science”.

“The NEWREP-A plan still involves them needing to kill whales to understand them and the argument from the majority of the science community around whale research is that you don’t need to kill whales to answer questions about their role in Antarctic ecosystems.”

There had been “extensive efforts” made by scientists to develop effective and non-lethal research methods, she said.

Several high-profile international scientists also condemned the proposal.

Dr Mariano Sironi, scientific director of the Instituto de Conservacion de Ballenas of Argentina, one of the organisations leading the protest, said: “Doctors do not kill their patients to study them”.

“As a researcher working on the longest study based on the photo identification of whales, I can assure that, in the 21st century, it is not necessary to kill whales to study them,” he said.

Flooding kills three Flash flooding from record rains in Texas and Oklahoma have left at least three people dead and destroyed hundreds of homes, with more wild weather to come. In the Texan city of San Marcos, residents were ordered to evacuate their homes in the early morning as flood waters rose around them after torrential rain turned normally bone-dry streets into rivers. In surreal scenes, cars and trucks were submerged and people used lounge chairs to float down the street.

Surgeon used a saw A Scottish health board is investigating claims that surgeons used a saw found in a hospital cupboard to amputate a man’s leg. The incident at Ayr Hospital started when a metal plate was unexpectedly discovered in the man’s leg during the operation.

It was reported that staff could not find the equipment to remove the plate, so a member of the surgical team was sent to B&Q - the British equivalent of Bunnings - to buy a saw. The shop was closed so a saw was said to have been found in a stock cupboard at the Ayrshire hospital and disinfected before being used. Concerns were later raised with senior management at the hospital and an investigation is being held.

Cheaper passports in govt’s interests Stu Oldham

EDITOR

B

eing lumbered with the same dreadful photo for a decade is a small price to pay to abandon an unnecessary, frustrating and expensive fiveyear passport regime.

Internal Affairs Minister Peter Dunne yesterday confirmed adult New Zealand passports will soon, once again, be valid for 10 years. They will cost $180, from $135 at the moment, but they will last twice as long to give real savings of $90 over the validity period.

That is one way of looking at it. The other is that it will cost more to buy.

The official narrative from lobbyists is that the government has responded to the many thousands of people who petitioned for longer-lasting passports. They – rightly – pointed out the five-year passports were more expensive than nearly every other comparable country and that their period did not make much sense.

The old 10-year limit was cut in half in 2005 in response to security concerns sparked by the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. The government expected others to follow suit.

They did not and New Zealand was left an early adopter of an unnecessary change.

The shorter time frame was supposed to keep identity and security details up to date but this was overtaken by developments in biometric technology. And so it stayed until a 12,000-strong petition encouraged a mindful government to make a change.

Or did it? It emerged passport holders have enjoyed belowcost fees for the past three years, funded by a surplus in the government’s passport account which has now run out. It follows that it would be cheaper to make more expensive passports less often.

So the change is a pragmatic response to fiscal circumstance as much as a response to a groundswell for change. The government has balanced the books and given travellers savings they can spend on the new, up-to $22 border clearance levy announced in last week’s budget.

FROM THE FARM

Q

uite a story was made last week about Helen Kelly from the CTU naming and shaming farmers on Twitter who were advertising positions on farm that by appearances were paying below the minimum wage.

Quite frankly, I was bemused around some of the questions from the media about how these were “revelations”.

Helen has been highlighting these advertisements on Twitter for well over six months now, and many farmers have been debating the ads with her on Twitter. A bigger question could be; why are the New Zealand media so slow on the uptake? But I digress.

What those farmers who have been having this debate on Twitter with Helen have been saying is, that in many cases the farm ads in question are not mentioning the value of the accommodation and also the farmers, when they put down the weekly hours, are putting down the worst case assumption for calving time.

Without including the value of everything which comes with these jobs, and then assuming that every single week is worked at that maximum, then it is of little surprise that entry level positions would appear to be rewarded below the minimum standards.

But if we were to take many jobs in town, remove what you may pay in rent, and then divide what’s left by the hours worked, chances are it wouldn’t look too flash either.

Given all we hear about that Auckland housing market, and adding in the hours spent on the daily commute and petrol used up, then I think a lot of farm jobs stack up quite nicely.

However Helen Kelly has shown up, in some of the ads she has retweeted, some jobs are very obviously offering some pretty poor conditions. So while I don’t believe the poor conditions are as widespread as she claims, I do accept that we do have some poor performers.

021 052-7511

Zealand dairy industry is that unfortunately, whether we like it or not, the reality is that due to size and importance to the economy, we will all get tarred with the same brush.

We are short of skilled and talented people on dairy farms.

We have recognised this in the 2013 Dairy Industry Strategy, as talented people is one of the 10 main objectives of the Strategy. We also recognise in that strategy that on the flip side of attracting talented people, we need to provide a quality work environment to retain those people. A poor perception of the work environment will harm our ability to attract talented people. So that is another objective in the strategy.

Stories like this will put town people off a career in dairy, either for themselves or their children. Perception becomes reality. So it is important for all farmers to do their bit to ensure not only is the perception of a dairy career a good one,

but the reality is true as well.

So the message dairy farmers should take away from all the noise last week is this; when we are talking about the salary for a position we need to describe the total package.

So include the market value of the rent. When describing the hours worked, talk about your seasonal averages, or the range of hours that may exist in those seasons. Some weeks will go smoothly and some wont, so their will be a variance in hours.

Going beyond that, I would encourage farmers to think about what is best practice when it comes to HR. Also put a focus on those hours worked; are we achieving efficiency?

I often get frustrated on our farm that sometimes we have spent more time looking for tools than actually using them.

It’s simple things like that which can make a difference to the length of time it takes to do a job.

For the bulk of farmers who pride themselves on high standards when it comes to HR practices, and are sick of being tarred with that same brush, then I encourage you to tell your stories, challenge other farmers, and start the discussion.

A number of dairy farmers said to me last week that we need to be encouraging more best practice.

My response to those thinking this way is that real change comes from the bottom up, not top down. Federated Farmers and DairyNZ can create actions that will help, and we are doing so. But those actions will only succeed in improving the perception of dairy as a career if we have dairy farmers championing it.

Scheme ‘poor value for Govt’

BY PAUL MCBETH The Treasury recommended a wider review of the KiwiSaver scheme than just axing the $1000 kick-start payment, arguing it represents poor value for money for the Government and has vague aims, according to its regulatory impact statement on the post-budget law change needed to drop the incentive.

The change was passed into law during an extended parliamentary sitting late Saturday evening, following Thursday’s budget announcement, amid Opposition party claims the Government was robbing future generations to pay for increased income support for

families on benefits and low incomes. But the Treasury says dropping the kick-start will improve value for money from the scheme.

Reducing incentives would improve the scheme’s value for money as wage and salary earners were likely to join anyway because of employer-subsidised schemes and didn’t need the kick-start to join, said the Treasury’s financial markets manager, James Beard.

The RIS shows the $1000 kick-start payment is by far the less costly part of the two incentives that operate to encourage KiwiSaver membership.

Removing it will cut the scheme’s cost by $175 million in the 2015/16 fiscal year, fall-

ing to $107 million by 2018/19, whereas removing the member tax credit contribution, worth $521 per year per KiwiSaver member, would save the Crown $709 million in the first year, rising to $832 million four years later.

The Treasury’s preferred option would have been a fundamental review of the KiwiSaver legislation’s purpose to deal with the “imprecise definition of a target population” for the scheme, which is meant to help Kiwis prepare for retirement.

That option was out of scope for the advice the Government sought from the Treasury on identifying measures to “improve KiwiSaver effectiveness ... and reduce the fiscal cost”.

Axing the kick-start incentive effectively pays for the budget’s $240 million-per-year initiatives to raise benefits for people with children and Working for Families tax credits for low and middle income working families. The Government had pruned KiwiSaver subsidies already, delaying plans for automatic enrolment and halving the Crown’s contributions to member accounts.

“The removal of the kickstart would reduce the attractiveness and enrolment rate into KiwiSaver by the selfemployed,” who didn’t really fall into the target market, and “may marginally improve the target effectiveness,” the Treasury report said.

In brief

Contact Energy shares jumped more than 14 per cent after the energy generator and retailer said it had ditched plans for now to invest in geothermal schemes offshore and will increase returns to shareholders, including a special dividend.

Contact announced a 50 cents per share fully imputed special dividend, payable June 23, and a new ordinary dividend payout ratio of 100 per cent of underlying earnings after tax. It also flagged the prospect of share buybacks if free cash flow allows larger distributions in the next few years, when Contact has no significant investment plans in New Zealand, where there is currently an over-supply of electricity generation.

The shares jumped 80 cents to $6.35 when trading opened on the NZX, having fallen 13

per cent this year. They spiked as high as $7.30 in early February in anticipation of a capital return at the half-year results on February 16, only to plunge when chief executive Dennis Barnes surprised investors by raising the prospect of offshore investment in offshore geothermal plants rather than the expected capital return.

“Contact has concluded there are no material investment opportunities at this time that would sufficiently reward shareholders and that the company can support increased distributions to shareholders,” Barnes said yesterday. “To reflect the fact that Contact will have limited capital requirements in the near term, Contact’s amended dividend policy will be to target an average ordinary dividend equivalent to approximately 100 per cent of underlying earnings after tax.”

Safety reforms practical on-farm?

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Concerns over implementation of the new Health and Safety Reform Bill on farms were not abated by WorkSafe at a meeting with the district’s arable farmers.

At a Women in Arable meeting WorkSafe engagement adviser Katy Sanson fielded a plethora of questions from frustrated farmers afraid of what the reform bill would mean for their farms.

Ms Sanson outlined the need for reform following the Pike River disaster when an independent Government taskforce found New Zealand’s accident rate was one of the worst in the Western world and was “apalling” and “unsustainable”.

A number of recommendations were made from the inquiry, including increasing the number of inspectors from around 140 to 200 and having interventions in industries where accident rates were significantly higher – including farming and forestry.

The inquiry also found there was an endemic national culture that had a high level of tolerance for risk, coupled with a negative perception of health and safety.

Under the reform bill the question for farmers was not “do I have a responsibility? But what is my responsibility?” she advised.

“But if you’re doing it right now under the old act, you will be fine – bar a few minor changes.”

A common concern among those attending was the practicality of the act.

One farmer said that although her farm complies with regulations she wondered why she bothered.

“What’s the point? We don’t document. We go out and talk for quarter of an hour every morning. We’re not going to document that.

“We’re going to have no back-up on what we say or what we do.”

However, Ms Sanson told farmers the only written legal requirement they had as part of their health and safety plan was to fill in a farm accident register.

But farmers pointed out this seemed to be in conflict with what the Safer Farms programme was advising with its many schedules, including contractor inductions and vehicle maintenance.

Mid Canterbury Grain and Seed Section chairperson Joanne Burke said WorkSafe and farmers would not be able to agree on a way forward because it was too big an issue.

“We are worlds apart at the moment on (the area of) practical risk.”

Ms Sanson admitted some areas of the bill needed clarity.

One farmer felt whatever farmers did to meet the bill’s obligations it would never be enough.

Farmers need to look at evolution to combat resistance

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Darwin’s law is the foundation of farming and is ignored at farmers’ peril, according to a leading agricultural scientist.

BHU Future Farming Centre researcher Dr Charles Merfield told farmers and industry representatives at the recent FAR Sustainable Agriculture and Horticulture workshops that it was critical they look at the evolutionary strategy of pests and weeds.

Dr Merfield said evolution was the cause of chemical resistance, but was not inevitable.

Organic farming had proved that it was possible to farm without pesticides, but farmers would have to farm smarter in order for it to work.

Some alternative approaches can be effective and more profitable and should include physical, biological, chemical and ecological management, he advised.

“To me just using chemistry for pest management is a bit like having a fight and then tying your legs together and having one hand behind your back – why would you do that?”

Farmers needed to look at all tools at their disposal, including rotation, which has proven to be the most effective tool in dealing with take-all of wheat “despite 70 years of chemical use.

“Agrichemicals are very powerful, but at the same time they are a bit of one-trick pony.”

Integrated management, including finding the chinks in weed and pest armour, may sometimes require chemicals, but other times it will managed by using physics or ecology.

Farmers needed to understand pests better, including their life cycles and evolutionary strategies, before picking a control measure. Dr Merfield reminded farmers that pests evolve strategies to beat our controls and

used the coddling moth as an example where excess pheromones were used to disrupt males from females, but only one pheromone was used.

However, some moths had slightly different pheromones and were multiplying so the cocktail had to be changed.

“Evolution is rubbish at hitting moving targets.”

He urged farmers to use multiple measures. Pest control was like an evolutionary arms race, he said. Farmers need to design tools in agricultural systems that were going to last indefinitely to achieve sustainable agriculture.

“Instead of looking at five, 10and 15-year life cycles we need to start looking longer term.”

Humans were 50,000 years old while agriculture was only 10,000 years old, so it was the “proverbial new kid on the block” “Modern agriculture is only 70 years old, so it has a dummy stuck in its mouth.”

230515-JJ-006

Vintage equipment goes to auction A collection of machinery dating back to pre-World War Two went under the hammer on Saturday.

The clearing sale, held on behalf of the estate of Ron Butterick, attracted buyers from Winton to Ward, PGG Wrightson auctioneer Murray

Campbell said. Much of what was on offer fell into the vintage category, collected over Mr Buttrick’s lifetime, and that of his father. He spent his entire working life as an engineer at Ashburton Implement Services.

A portable seed dresser handed down by Mr Butter-

ick’s father, who used to travel the countryside cleaning seed, fetched $5800. Despite its age, Mr Campbell said the plant was still in good working order.

“There were a lot of vintage motors which attracted a lot of interest – it was a very successful sale,” he said.

The weather looks to turn cold this week, with snow and harsh conditions introducing the region to winter, and unbelievably still little rain for North Canterbury.

Australian and Japanese weather forecasters have officially declared the existence of El Nino conditions, and if this weather system settles here another dry period for the east coast areas of NZ could be arriving.

More herds are now being dried off and those that are still milking are harvesting from the better conditioned later calving cows.

Managers are being urged to be very careful with the transition to winter feed crops especially as the recent very mild temperatures, lack of frosts and rainfall, could increase the possibility of high levels of nitrates in crops.

Fonterra is set to announce their early 2015/16 milk price prediction this week and analysts are picking it could start at $5- $5.25/kg ms.

Global milk supplies are still ahead of demand with the US milk production up 1.7 per cent and last months flow a record.

The latest dairy land prices have held firm despite the gloomy market although numbers of properties sold are well back on the previous year.

season looming.

Exporters are hoping this period of stable pricing will encourage greater demand, but at the farm gate this years returns have been disappointing.

This has been shown in this years livestock tax values where prices are $5-$11 per head back on last year, and some say behind the cost of production.

Wool Wool prices strengthened again as the dollar fell at the latest South Island auction, with fine crossbred fleece and lambs indicator values reaching yearly highs.

The small amount of merino wools offered also lifted in price after a period of soft demand, but exporters reported values are still behind Australian levels.

Beef More easing of beef prices, as an Australian ANZ market analyst believes this product has peaked in price, with US stocks from the three main proteins up 15-25 per cent on average.

Production of chicken and pork in that country is up 5 per cent and pork prices are falling, adding more price pressure on beef, and the Chinese have lifted the beef ban with Brazil to increase competition for product into that market.

Lamb

Deer

More gloomy news on the lamb market, with weak demand out of the UK and China due to strong domestic competition, but some renewed interest in the Middle East with the Ramadan

Export volumes for venison are falling and are now 12 per cent behind the five-year average, and while prices out of Europe have improved, farmgate values have stalled with the unfavour-

■ ASHBURTON DOMAIN

How the domain ponds came about

By Michael hanrahan

I

t would be hard to imagine Ashburton’s Domain without its series of ponds, starting near the hockey turf, looping around the oval and wending their way through the gardens before disappearing underground at the Wills Street corner.

But it hasn’t always been that way.

When the first survey of the site of the future town of Ashburton was carried out by Robert Park in August 1863 a large block of land, called The Grange, was set aside to become a public park.

Robert Park’s maps of the area show a watercourse following the same path as today’s ponds, including the island that is there today, but a note on his first map of the site of the town says that the watercourse contained water only after heavy rain.

And that’s the way it remained for a time. The area was described as being “a wild and unkempt tussock field” in 1876.

The county council, set up that year, soon appointed a domain board which had the right to lease some of the land for grazing to provide an income to improve the remainder.

They planted some of the larger trees, but it wasn’t until the borough council became involved a few years later that things progressed.

Water for drinking in the town was at that time obtained from pipe wells, the town being dotted with windmills to power the pumps and there was no provision for firefighting.

People agitated for a highpressure water scheme and Charles Fookes, who was both town clerk and borough engineer, prepared a plan that would require a loan of £15,000 ($30,000), a huge sum at that time.

Most of the ratepayers favoured raising the loan, but a minority opposed it, and before anything could be done nature took their side.

A heavy storm flooded the Ashburton River, which burst its banks in the vicinity of where Digby’s Bridge is today.

The water flowed towards Ashburton, flooding houses and flowing through the domain before flooding the railway and East and West streets, then flowing on through the lower part of the town.

No more was heard of raising a loan.

Instead Mr Fooks designed a scheme that saw the watercourse in the domain permanently filled, the water then flowing through channels

along the side of streets.

This was ample for firefighting and people still had their wells for drinking purposes.

The spin-off was that the domain then had an ornamen-

tal watercourse, with some changes to its original course.

In a period of high unemployment a dam was later put across the stream to create the pond around the oval, and later

another dam was put in higher up to create a swimming pool.

Both dams are still in place today, although are not readily recognisable as such and the swimming pool hasn’t been

used as such for many years.

The domain pond continued as a source of water for the street channels well into the 20th Century, but is no longer used for that purpose today.

Cavs in overtime win

By Peter Mitchell LeBron James was the hero and Australian team-mate Matthew Dellavedova a villain as the Cleveland Cavaliers won a controversial, overtime thriller against the Atlanta Hawks.

The 114-111 win in Cleveland gave the Cavaliers a 3-0 lead in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals and just one more victory will send them to the Championship series.

James, suffering cramping and several injuries, asked to be subbed out in the overtime period, but stayed on and in the final seconds hit a three-pointer and then drove through Hawks’ defenders to bank the final basket.

James finished with an enormous output of 37 points, 18 rebounds, 13 assists and three steals from almost 45 minutes on court before sagging to his knees when the game ended.

coach David Blatt described James’ effort. “I have never seen a stat line like that. He played through pain, he played through cramps and he just would not let us lose.”

Instead of enjoying the win, James and Blatt were forced to rebuff questions about whether Dellavedova was a dirty player.

Hawks guard Kent Bazemore said the Australian had a “track record” and forward DeMarre Carroll said players should never dive at an opponent’s legs.

Liverpool thumped Brendan Rodgers has conceded his job could be on the line after Liverpool suffered their biggest-ever defeat in the Premier League in a humiliating 6-1 loss at Stoke. A brace from Mame Biram Diouf plus goals from Jonathan Walters, Charlie Adam, Steven Nzonzi and Peter Crouch condemned the Reds to their worst loss since a 7-2 hammering by Tottenham in April 1963. When asked directly if he accepted there would be questions about his future after such a woeful display, Rodgers said: “Absolutely. I have always said if the owners want me to go, I go. It is as simple as that.” - AAP

Relegation for Hull An “exhausted” Steve Bruce says he will consider his future over the next fortnight after Hull City was relegated from the English Premier League. Hull put up a spirited fight against Manchester United on the final day of the season, but could only come away with a 0-0 draw. Newcastle’s 2-0 win at home to West Ham meant Bruce’s team would have been relegated regardless of the result. Bruce acknowledged owner Assem Allam could rip his three-year contract up at any time and said he had to decide himself whether he had the fight to try to take Hull back up to the top tier of English football. - PA

Fiorentina into Europe Europa League semi-finalists Fiorentina secured their place in next season’s competition with a stunning 3-2 win at Palermo, as Verona striker Luca Toni moved top of the Serie A scoring charts yesterday.

Fiorentina’s six-point lead over Sampdoria, in seventh, means their spot in next season’s Europa League is secure. Lazio hosted Roma overnight looking for the win that would allow them to leapfrog their city rivals into second. - AFP

In brief

Rosberg gifted victory Nico Rosberg has taken full advantage of one of Formula One’s greatest ever tactical errors to land an unexpected victory and become only the fourth man to claim a hat-trick of consecutive wins in the Monaco Grand Prix.

The 29-year-old German who won his second successive race this season - came home in his Mercedes ahead of compatriot Sebastian Vettel in a Ferrari with and Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton third.

Red Bull’s Daniil Kyvat was fourth and his Australian teammate Daniel Ricciardo fifth.

Rosberg trailed Hamilton for 63 laps until an accident prompted a safety car intervention that led the team to call the Briton in for an unexpected and unnecessary pit-stop to change to softer tyres.

Obeying his team, Hamilton, who led by 21 seconds before he pitted, came out in third place and, after the race was re-started with eight laps remaining, found it impossible to regain his lead.

“I’ve lost the race, haven’t I?” asked Hamilton on seeing his reversal of fortunes after exiting the pit lane.

“What’s happened, guys?”

Hamilton’s team were swift to apologise for the misjudgement, but their actions had deprived him of a win. “(Hamilton) was in the media scrum after and I said to him ‘apologies’,” a despondentsounding Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff told reporters after the race.

“We win and we lose together, we got it wrong ... I’m sure he will understand, that sometimes we make mistakes.”

Black likely starter Otere Black’s rugby apprenticeship is moving along at a rapid rate. The Manawatu 20-year-old is only a wider training group member of the Hurricanes but he could be called upon to make his second start of the season at first-five against the Crusaders in Nelson on Friday night. A knee injury to regular pivot Beauden Barrett thrust Black in to the selection discussion recently and further ailments in the Hurricanes’ backline pushed James Marshall out of the No 10 jersey to fullback against the Blues in Auckland on Saturday night. - NZME

Retallick’s sabbatical One of the key aspects of Brodie Retallick agreeing to stay with New Zealand Rugby was a sabbatical clause and he looks likely to cash in on that with Japanese club Panasonic. It is unclear when he will go, but the team currently coached by Robbie Deans is at the front of the queue for the lock who was last year recognised as the best player in the world. Retallick is likely to fit in his season during the break in Super Rugby, meaning he will return to the Chiefs without missing a significant number of matches but with his bank balance significantly healthier.

Cheika defends Skelton Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg of Germany leads Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel of Germany, during the Formula One Grand Prix at Monaco yesterday.

He then tried to explain why the incorrect decision was taken to call Hamilton in for a pit stop.

“The potential risk could have been that Seb (Vettel) swapping for a soft tyre behind Nico. We have to follow the data,” Wolff said. “There was a message that the temperatures dropped a lot (in the tyres) and that they were losing grip.”

Rosberg’s triumph enabled him to join Briton Graham Hill, Frenchman Alain Prost and Brazilian Ayrton Senna in completing a Monaco hat-trick.

“I am very happy,” said Ros-

berg, who was also winning two consecutive Grands Prix for the first time.

“But I know it was just a lot of luck. Lewis drove brilliantly and would have deserved the win, for sure, but that’s the way it is in racing.

“I know I got lucky. I will just enjoy the moment.”

Hamilton, who has won just once at Monaco, was remarkably relaxed about the mishap.

“It was not the easiest of races,” said Hamilton.

“But the team has been amazing all year and we win and lose together.”

Asked about his mind set, he added: “Come back and win the next one.”

Finn Kimi Raikkonen finished sixth for Ferrari ahead of Mexican Sergio Perez of Force India and Briton Jenson Button who claimed the struggling McLaren Honda team’s first points of the year in eighth place.

Brazilian Felipe Nasr came home ninth for Sauber and remarkably, after starting from the pit lane, Spaniard Carlos Sainz finished 10th to score a point in the second Toro Rosso car.

Waratahs coach Michael Cheika has defended giant lock Will Skelton’s tackling technique, saying his 203cm height generally rules out going around the legs. Skelton found himself in trouble when cited, along with hooker Tolu Latu, over a lifting tackle which upended Sam Whitelock in the Waratahs’ Super Rugby win over the Crusaders on Saturday. Latu lifted Whitelock’s legs while Skelton had his upper body and threw him to the ground.

A fired up Skelton had arguably his finest match for the Waratahs and was a constant menace with his powerful runs and destructive presence at the breakdown. “The thing with Whitelock was a little bit unfortunate because he was just trying to get him down on the ground. Two guys like that can’t really know what the other is doing.”

Dixon fades to fourth in Indianapolis 500 Australian Will Power says it “sucks” to finish second as he was narrowly edged out by teammate Juan Pablo Montoya yesterday in America’s most famous motor race, the Indianapolis 500.

Montoya won his second Indy 500 title after a thrilling finish in which the Colombian outduelled Power and third placegetter, American Charlie Kimball.

Montoya passed New Zealand’s Scott Dixon with four laps remaining and went outside Power on the front straightaway on the next lap and held him off to the finish for a triumph that had him pumping his fist just moments after crossing the finish line.

“This is what IndyCar is all about, awesome racing all the way down to the wire,” Montoya said. “I don’t even know what to say. This is too good.”

Montoya also won the Indy 500 in 2000, then spent six years in Formula One and nine seasons in the US stock-car NASCAR series before returning to IndyCar last year.

Montoya fell back early to 30th in the field of 33 after rear wing damage when the car was struck by Britain’s Pippa Mann during a caution period.

Montoya ran over an air hose on a slow pit stop and seemed to be struggling, but he battled through as the 200 laps wore on.

Power led Montoya and Dix-

on out of the pits after the final refuel stops but a major threeway crash forced a restart with only 15 laps remaining.

The crowd roared as lap after lap the trio exchanged thrilling high-speed passes.

Montoya overtook Dixon only two turns after the restart but Dixon was in the lead less than two laps later.

Power and Dixon swapped the lead again before Montoya and Power went around Dixon on the front straightaway, then Montoya passed Power for the lead in the first turn with nine laps to go.

Power answered by passing for the lead in turn one with eight laps remaining and Dixon

regained second place with seven laps left, only to set up Montoya’s charge past both to win.

“Damn. It sucks finishing second. Man, that was one of the hardest days we’ve had on an oval.,” said Power.

Pole-sitter Dixon, the 2008 Indy 500 winner who led 85 laps, faded late to finish fourth behind Kimball.

“When I really needed to go I just couldn’t turn the car,” Dixon said. “As the laps counted down I was trying to make something happen but when I tried to pass I couldn’t make it.

“All praise to Juan. He made a hell of a comeback. We’ll come back. This one always hurts, though.”

Mistakes costly for College

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College came home from Nelson with a consolation point after going down 19-26 to Nelson College in the fifth round of the UC Rugby Championship.

An injury-hit College were made to pay for their mistakes.

“There were just a few small things that we did that cost us dearly,” coach Dave McCrea said.

College made two mistakes - a loose pass and a drop ball - that led to Nelson scoring two second half tries in what was otherwise a dominant second half performance from the visitors.

College had started well enough when centre Ali Prescott scooped up a loose ball and ran 40 metres to score under the post for an easy conversion. However, Nelson scored two converted tries to lead 14-7 at halftime.

One of the tries really rankled McCrea a former front rower - watching his usually solid scrum inexplicably pushed off their own ball before conceding the try.

“It was just a lack of concentration that proved costly.”

A loose pass from the base of the scrum that rolled dead put Nelson in prime position to score their third try straight after the break for a 21-7 lead.

College then scored through wing Kerry Claydon-Wade, but they dropped the kickoff straight into the waiting arms of a Nelson player who scampered away for the bonus point try and a 26-12 lead.

Replacement prop Logan Flett then scored what was a consolation try and the conversion sealed a bonus point so they didn’t come home empty handed.

This week they host southern rivals Timaru Boys’ High School in what will be a televised game.

TBHS were well beaten by Christ’s College 12-33.

Defending champions Christchurch Boys’ High School moved into the outright lead beating the previously unbeaten Shirley 44-7, with St Andrews on the bye.

Burnside also remain unbeaten with a 4515 win over Roncalli while St Bedes beat St Thomas 36-10.

Marlborough were too strong for Waimea 54-10 and Rangiora recorded their first win over Lincoln 24-14.

Ben Stokes’ remarkable path into the England cricket team was paved with league. But the 23-year-old Stokes, whose stunning century turned around a terrible position against Brendon McCullum’s side at Lord’s, had already been identified as a potential cricket star in New Zealand, the country of his birth. His father is Cantabrian Gerard Stokes, a former Kiwi prop who played alongside the most famous names in New Zealand league history. The 59-year-old Gerard, is also a cricket fanatic who played until five years ago before his body ran up the white flag. The family moved to England in 2003. “Ben has played cricket ever since he could walk basically,” Gerard Stokes said.

Mumbai takes title Mitchell McLenaghen took three wickets in the IPL final yesterday to help his team the Mumbai Indians to take the title over MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings. The Indians had to come back from a dreadful start to the tournament, being last on the table in the first two weeks, before turning on the batting power to score 202 for five, with Lendl Simmons scoring 68 and Rohit Sharma 50, then restricting the Super Kings to only 161 (McLenaghen 3-25).

College’s Benji Barry on the charge.

Daley ‘wary’

By Emma KEmp If Laurie Daley has learnt anything from the Blues’ eight-year wait for a State of Origin title, it’s that revenge is a dish best served cold.

The NSW coach is bracing his young squad for a blistering backlash from Queensland’s chastened galaxy of stars when the Blues start their Origin title defence in tomorrow’s crucial first game at ANZ Stadium.

Back in Sydney after a problem-free Blues camp in Coffs Harbour, Daley admitted yesterday the Queensland fear factor was still very much alive.

And he said talk of an ageing - “Dad’s Army” - Maroons squad hadn’t done his team any favours.

“Everyone’s been quick to write Queensland off given Australia got beaten (by New Zealand) in the Test match,” Daley said.

“Queensland have shown - and in particular some of the guys that are on the other side of 30 that they’re champions.

“And if you kick a champion while they’re down, they’ll always come back and bite you.”

Both teams head into Wednesday night’s blockbuster knowing that coming out on top in game one is most often key to securing a series win.

In the 33 series since the introduction of the three-game format in 1982, the team that has won the first instalment has gone on to clinch the title 24 times.

Triumph appears particularly crucial for the NSW side, who’ve won the first contest in 11 of

Laurie Daley: Well aware Queensland will be seeking revenge.

their 13 series victories to date.

For Queensland, the goal will be to stop their physically larger but less experienced southern rivals in their tracks early on.

“Game one is always important given we play a game on neutral territory this year,” captain Cameron Smith said.

“It’s a big challenge for us playing in Sydney in game one against a very confident Blues.

“We have to try and take it off them.”

Smith insisted the Queensland veterans’ motivation levels had not diminished and were elevated by last year’s sobering series loss.

“It was definitely hard to swallow given that we had a great football side,” he said.

“(But) I don’t think we ever lost the hunger.

“I don’t think this team has ever been bored of winning.

“Last year was very disappointing no doubt, it was a pretty shallow feeling. But it’s the same old story - this is a new series.”

And that’s exactly what Daley is wary of.

“We all fear Queensland,” he said.

“We fear Queensland every time a State of Origin game is played, regardless of who’s in it, because they have pulled off some of the most remarkable victories in State of Origin history when no one has given them a chance.

“So we respect whoever runs out in that Maroons shirt.”

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) An intuitive read on work matters is giving you a broader perspective, able to look at where to across the income, work and career spectrum.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) There are hints today of things that spark your creative interest and how you can incorporate that into income, work and career developments.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) While any work/life balance tension today’s lunar vibes trigger is fleeting and therefore easily dismissed, you would be wise to pay attention.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Your relationships will benefit from the Moon’s monthly visit to your communication sector giving your emotional responses a voice.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) With your most potentially lucrative year for income opportunities opening up in July, bless anything that gives your professional game a push.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Pay attention to the emotional, intuitive and imaginative responses triggered today, especially when it comes to clues to what the future holds.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) While there will be times when you need to have your work hat on when you can, escape into daydreams and of wanderlust and curiosity.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) As your attitude to home and financial matters changes so too does confidence and optimism, with a chance to lay some old ghosts to rest.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As your professional instincts kick in this will bring a clearer sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going on the work and career fronts.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) You’re not ready to rest on your laurels or feel you’ve discovered all that you can. Do what you can to keep a sense of curiosity alive.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) While emotional responses to money matters might push some buttons, it comes with an intuitive sense of what’s pulling your strings and why.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) While there may be some strong emotional responses to relationship matters today, this is a chance to ensure the communication lines are open.

Confidence booster

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Mid Canterbury senior men’s hockey team had a solid outing against South Canterbury in their annual fixture at the NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf, where they are set to host the Ian Smith Tournament this weekend.

Mid Canterbury won the Taylor Shield by beating South Canterbury 4-0 in what will give the side plenty of confidence ahead of the tournament.

The hosts dominated their southern neighbours on Sunday, able to hold possession and when asked to defend heaped pressure on South Canterbury to create a lot of turnovers.

Mid Canterbury’s Adam Wilson said that the big positive for

the side was being able to convert that possession into goals, with the side scoring two in each half.

Hayden Sinclair got the first of his two goals putting away a tidy deflection from a ball fed by Hugh Copland.

Sinclair then turned provider, creating a turnover and linking with Hayden Bonnington in the circle to finish off by beating the keeper one-on-one to make it 2-0.

From a penalty corner Sinclair slotted a flick high into the right of the goal before Wilson picked up the fourth nearing the end of the game.

Mid Canterbury head into this weekend’s regional tournament unbeaten in the last four tournaments.

Mid Canterbury’s Hayden Sinclair watches his shot sail into the back of the net against South Canterbury in their annual representative hockey fixture at the NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf on Sunday.
