A Methven mother caught in the middle of an incident that saw an Air New Zealand passenger arrested on Wednesday night is having mixed emotions about the entire experience.

Becky Dirks was travelling back from Auckland to Christchurch with her son, David, when a woman caused major disruptions during the flight, including allegedly spitting at a stewardess.

The 32-year-old woman was arrested upon landing in Christchurch and charged with assault as well as being issued with a Civil Aviation Authority infringement notice which carries an instant $500 fine.

For Dirks, the entire ordeal, which made national news, was one which could have easily been avoided in her eyes. “We saw her when we were sitting in the lounge in Auckland waiting to board and she was lying on the floor mumbling to herself,” she said.

“I’m not sure what was exactly going on with her, but it seemed as though she was under the influence.

“She shouldn’t have been allowed on the flight, based on what I saw anyway.”

While the initial observation was odd, things got even weirder once the plane was up in the air and about half way through the trip to Christchurch.

“I took David to the toilet and when we walked back past her she called out

and said that David had dropped some lollies.

“I told her that it was rubbish and when a stewardess went to pick it up she started swearing and throwing abuse around.”

The tirade continued for the remainder of the flight with members of the public and flight staff attempting to calm the passenger down but when it came time to prepare for landing, she remained upstanding and started yelling and screaming again on descent.

Ready to rock it out Mid Canterbury’s secondary school bands are gearing up for the Canterbury Smokefreerockquest tomorrow.

Warheights band members, made up of guitarist Liam Scott, drummer Tom Sun and guitarist Michael Dorreen have been practising for the event which is held in Christchurch.

The Ashburton College rock band did well last year when they competed in the Timaru rockquest event, achieving best style award, and hope to do even better this year.

Fellow band members are vocalist Jack Bubb and bass guitarist Georgia Naylor.

Other Ashburton College students to compete are the duo Liam Pram and Zac Whyte and soloist Sophie Vessey, while Mount Hutt College will be represented by last year’s regional Bandquest winners Rasta Monkey, coached through Wayne’s School of Rock.

Band members are vocalist Brie Rudolph, guitarist Gus CaseySolly, Tim Taylor on bass, Lance Pangillinoan on keyboard and drummer Reilly Duff.

Support group for lake PHOTO GOVERNMENT HOUSE

Garden guru receives his QSM Ashburton man Alan Trott was presented with his QSM, for services to horticulture, by Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy at Government House, yesterday.

The self-taught horticulturalist created a four-hectare para-

dise from a bare paddock that has gone on to gain international recognition and awards, and is regularly visited by experts from the gardening world.

He shares this talent with some of the world’s most widely recognised plantsmen and women

and Trott’s Garden is now known as a garden of international significance.

Twenty distinguished New Zealanders received their insignia from Dame Patsy at the investiture ceremony held in Wellington yesterday afternoon.

Plans are in place to establish a Neighbourhood Support network at the Lake Hood settlement.

Ashburton district co-ordinator Christine Richards said two meetings of residents meetings would be held next month.

The first meeting will be held at the Lake House restaurant on Wednesday, June 7 at 7.30pm for residents of Ludlow Drive, Penbury Close, Witney Lane, Halston Close and Burford Lane.

The second meeting is on Wednesday, June 14 at the same time and venue for the residents of Torbay Avenue.

“Members of the Huntingdon Park Property Owners Association have been instrumental in

driving this initiative,” Richards said.

“They have canvassed residents by door-knocking, letterbox drops and speaking with residents and have had a strong response.” Residents are urged to attend and bring a neighbour with them.

Richards will address both meetings on the subject of Neighbourhood Support, how groups are formed and operated and the benefits to the community.

“From the meetings it is hoped to enlist enthusiastic Lake Hood people to volunteer to take on the role of co-ordinators for each street,” Richards said.

■ YMCA CONVENTION

Exciting plans announced

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

YMCA South and Mid Canterbury is gearing up to celebrate its centenary, and has a number of exciting plans to announce this evening.

The organisation will be hosting the YMCA national convention in Timaru on Saturday and Sunday, and will be acknowledging its 24 years of service in

the Ashburton District with a cocktail function this evening.

YMCA marketing, communications and fundraising manager Michèle Keggenhoff said there is exciting things to be announced.

“We will be welcoming the convention attendees to show them what we do, and allow them to communicate with the community,” she said.

The YMCA will be officially releasing a book that will celebrate 100 years of work in the South and Mid Canterbury region.

“There will be a section dedicated to the history of the organisation in the Mid Canterbury region, and the effects and impact it has had,” she said.

The organisation will also be announcing that it will be con-

ducting a youth survey in the Ashburton district.

“It will be the first time we have conducted the survey outside the Timaru district, and we hope it will be a good stake in the ground for us in the community,” she said.

The survey will cover question surrounding attitudes towards the region, what is great and what can be improved, wellbe-

ing questions and views on education and job opportunities.

“The survey will run for the length on June and we hope to have the results collated and ready to be shared by the middle of July,” Keggenhoff said.

“We hope to make the results widely available to businesses, educators and the district council so that they will be able to utilise the results.”

Wednesday decision day on Fairton

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Silver Fern Farms’ Fairton workers are prepared to hear the door slam on any hope of reopening the beleaguered sheep meat processing plant at a meeting on Wednesday.

It will be two weeks to the day since Silver Fern Farms chief executive Dean Hamilton told a large crowd gathered at the Sinclair Centre in Ashburton of the company’s proposal to shut down all but the pelt house at the Fairton works.

In line with legal requirements the company had to allow two weeks before making the decision final.

Spokesperson Justin Courtney said a decision was yet to be made on the future of the defunct plant or the pelt house, which employs just a handful of the 370 people made redundant.

Wednesday’s meeting will also be held at the Sinclair Centre at 1.30pm but the former workforce already seems collectively re-

signed to the closure, Meat Workers Union Canterbury branch secretary Bill Watt said.

In announcing the proposed closure Silver Fern Farms management sited declining sheep numbers as the reason for Fairton operating at under half its capacity in recent years.

However, workers have said the decision to rationalise the operation by sending the bobby (cull) calves to be processed at the company’s Pareora plant for the past two seasons assisted Silver Fern Farms. Faced with ever shortening seasons many people looked elsewhere for more reliable work, lessening the redundancy claim when the axe fell, a worker told the Guardian.

Bobby calf and sheep pelts from other Silver Fern plants will continue to be processed at the Fairton pelthouse, which provides the only pickling process in the company’s South Island stable.

The pelthouse consent to discharge waste water is tied to the company’s nearby farm.

Behaviour disrupts flight From P1 “She was screaming out that it was a roller coaster and standing up in the middle of the aisle while we were landing.

“It was one of those situations where I didn’t quite know whether to laugh, or be really angry about it all.”

Dirks said during the landing process passengers on either side of the female held their arms out in an effort to stop her from falling.

“The passengers and the staff were amazing throughout the whole thing, I can’t say good

enough things about them.

“They handled it as well as they could in the situation.

“But I just can’t help but feel like the whole situation could have been avoided if they had stopped her from getting on the plane in the first place.”

Police met the flight at Christchurch Airport immediately on landing and arrested the female – a process which delayed disembarking, but only ever so slightly.

Passengers on the flight clapped as the woman was escorted from the plane by police and airport security.

■ MOUNT HUTT COLLEGE

Venue all set for annual school ball

By JaiMe Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Tonight, students will trade blazers for suit jackets, and kilts for ball gowns as they attend the Mount Hutt College Ball.

The theme for this year’s ball is In To The Woods, and cohead of the ball committee Mia Birt said, they had started planning well before the start of the school year, having started to brainstorm ideas in the summer holidays.

“It took a while to think of some ideas as you want to do something that hasn’t been done here before and something that Ashburton College hasn’t done before.”

Living up to the theme, 40 plants will fill the room, with decorative vines wrapping themselves where possible.

The other head of the commit-

tee, Aimee Elliott, said without the help of the teachers from the school, and support of local businesses, they wouldn’t have been able to do it.

Principal John Schreurs said one of the best parts of the ball, for him, is seeing the young men and women dressed up like young adults, and behaving like young adults.

“One thing I certainly like is the way everyone gets on with each other,” he said.

“There will be a number of outside partners but because we are a smaller community, everyone will know everyone.”

Despite being a school event, the community is very involved.

“The ball is well supported by the community with this year Young Farmers helping with security,” he said.

“The tradition of arriving in

style has developed over the past few years. This can be limo, classic cars, tractors and other creative forms of transport.”

Schreurs said one of the most unique vehicles he had seen dropping off people was a tank/ armoured personnel carrier.

The community is invited to stand outside and watch people arrive, as well as donate a gold coin to enter the top section of the Methven Heritage Centre for a view down on the ball.

“At the Methven Resort, students came down a long flight of steps and were introduced, but now it will only be a short flight of steps,” he said.

“It will probably be quite a relief to a few students as they generally aren’t that used to heels, and there was a normally a sigh of relief when they reached the bottom of the stairs.”

“What I think is exciting is that schools are talking the same language, sharing resources, really committed to doing better for all children across all the schools,”

she said. “It’s about us really taking control of our destiny.”

Opuke’s membership schools are Methven Primary, Chertsey, Dorie, Lauriston, Mayfield, Mount Hutt College, Mt Somers Springburn, Our Lady of the Snows, and Rakaia.

Murphy said the group was one of the first 11 COL groups formed in the country in 2014.

In March this year it appointed its lead teacher across schools of Rosie Robinson at Methven Primary, and was still in the process of appointing nine withinschool lead teachers.

COL represented exciting times, and New Zealand was on the cusp of something which was going to be great for education, Murphy said.

Learning centre needs funds

By Sue newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

For 38 years Ashburton’s Learning Centre has helped thousands of people gain literacy and numeracy skills and now it is about to break new ground.

The centre, established in 1979 as the Ashburton adult reading assistance programme, has been run under the umbrella of, and funded by, Literacy Aotearoa, but it is now striking out on its own.

Literacy Aotearoa plans to pull the learning organisations it funds into a national body that will deliver similar programmes, but the centre’s board decided this approach would not meet the needs of the Ashburton com-

While the company said the rocket had a great first stage burn, stage separation, second stage ignition and fairing separation, it didn’t complete its mission. “We didn’t quite reach orbit and we’ll be investigating why, however reaching space in our first test puts us in an incredibly strong position,’’ said founder and chief executive Peter Beck.

Mid Canterbury school leaders say the government’s developing Communities of Learning (COL) programme holds promise for the educational outcomes of the district’s children.

Part of a $354 million initiative announced in 2014, COL involves groups of education and training providers working together to help pupils in their membership schools achieve full potential, by sharing goals and working with students, parents and communities.

Mid Canterbury has two COL – Hakatere, headed by lead principal Hilary Boyce, who is principal of Wakanui School, and Opuke, headed by lead principal Chris Murphy, principal of Methven Primary School.

Hakatere uses Ashburton Intermediate School as its hub, and meets for two days each week to network and brainstorm on how they can improve outcomes for pupils at their group schools.

The roles are paid positions, and for the Hakatere group Boyce said she had been pleased with the high quality of applications which had come in.

The Hakatere COL represents

In brief

munity, centre manager Mary Phillip says. “We were funded by them for a considerable amount of money but we don’t want to become a branch of the national body, we know our community and we want to be able to meet the needs of our community.

We’re a community organisation in Mid Canterbury and we want to stay a community organisation in Mid Canterbury.”

Wanganui and Ashburton are the only two centres that have opted out of the deal. Ashburton was able to withdraw from the national network because it is a private training establishment in its own right, delivering programmes additional to those funded by Literacy Aotearoa.

Retaining its independence, however, has left the centre with a yawning $150,000 deficit in its budget and Phillip is now chasing funders to bridge the gap.

The organisation provided twothirds of the Learning Centre’s income.

“The decision wasn’t made lightly, but it’s the right decision for the organisation, the right decision for people who access our services,” Phillip said.

Last year the centre worked with 399 students and at times its services were stretched but no one is turned away, she said.

The centre’s focus might be on literacy but services don’t stop there.

“We really go all out to make

sure when people leave they’re in a much better position than when they first walked in the door.”

And by it retaining its independence, the community would be assured that holistic approach to learning continued, Phillip said.

“But to do this we need a new funding source. I’m busy applying to national funders but it would be great if we could source funds locally.”

Currently the centre is funding its programmes from reserves, money it had set aside to buy its own building in the future.

The centre’s programmes are free to New Zealand residents; non-residents pay a nominal fee.

Fears for missing man Christchurch police are looking for 49-year-old Michael Craig McGrath.

McGrath was last seen on Sunday evening at his home address in Halswell. Police have concerns for his welfare. He is approximately 180cm tall, of average build. He is not thought to be in a vehicle and is possibly on foot. Anyone with information please contact Christchurch police on 03 363-7400.

City councillors yesterday voted to work with agencies and residents to address issues surrounding street-based sex work, while staff prepare a report considering options for a bylaw. The report is due in September, when council will decide whether a regulatory approach is a good idea. - NZME

■ BUDGET 2017

Youth offending targeted

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Safer Ashburton hopes to see a share of the extra $13.9 million allocated for new services to reduce youth offending, announced in yesterday’s budget.

The money is part of a $46.9 million package targeting youth offending and burglary over the next four years as part of the Government’s $321 million social investment package.

Safer Ashburton already has a funding bid in to provide new serviced tailored to youth offenders in response to an unprecedented spike in youth crime, manager Kevin Clifford said.

“The services we are looking for funding for are Supervision with Activity and Supported Bail programmes,” Clifford said.

The intervention programmes would require youth offenders on bail to engage with positive activities and provide for more intensive bail monitoring. Intervention of this type has been available in other parts of the country, but was not required in Ashburton until about two years ago, Clif-

Finance Minister Steven Joyce outlines his budget plan to journalists and analysts yesterday, in Wellington. ford said. In addition to that there have been a number of multi-agency meetings focused on youth offending.

“We are developing some ideas but that would require more resourcing by way of coordination and staffing. We are eagerly waiting to see where that funding might go to,” he said.

“Government recognises there are some pressures in the Ashburton district but whether that translates to more funding for the district has yet to be seen.”

Inter-agency competition for funding is always stiff, and as yet there has been no indication as to how and where the fresh money will go.

“We hope there will be something available because we are formulating some good ideas about how to steer young people away from crime in our community, but it requires more resources,” Clifford said.

These goals fit within Associate Justice Minister Mark Mitchell’s brief to fund services to provide support for professional youth mentoring, cognitive behavioural therapy and functional family therapy.

Mitchell was in Ashburton last month to front a vocal public meeting called by Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew, to discuss youth offending.

He was left in no doubt of the problems faced in the community.

Youth will also be the focus of the $32.9 million targeted by the Government to reduce burglaries.

“The initiative will target burglars under the age of 25, because this group has a high risk of committing more crime long-term, with a predicted 15,300 more burglaries and other offences over the next 30 years,” Justice Minister and Selwyn MP Amy Adams said.

Cash needed for students, not paperwork By sue NewMaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Allenton School principal Graham Smith applauds the Government’s $63.3 million investment to support children with learning needs, but says the acid test will come in the way the money is dispersed.

The fund was included in yesterday’s Budget as part of an education package and while any extra money will be welcomed by schools, its value will lie in how much of that cash makes its way to the children in need of support, Smith said.

“Targeted funds come with ex-

tra paperwork and money gets lost through the paperwork system but if it was part of a school’s operating grant, then I’d be happy,” he said.

The fund will provide extra help for children with learning needs and over the next four years will include more in-classroom teacher aide hours and a new programme for parents and teachers of young children with autism.

The extra funds for teacher aides are designed to support an extra 625 students a year.

Smith said his school had had an increase in students needing

support but it had lost funding this year.

“We have four with in-class support but only two are funded.

If we get extra money, it will only get us back to where we were,” he said.

Funding for in-classroom support for four students was still well below the level of need, Smith said. Originally decisions on in-class support were made at a local level; now those decisions were centralised in Wellington.

Children were being identified much earlier with conditions on the aspergers spectrum which includes autism, and that meant

there were more in schools who were identified as needing support, Smith said.

“We cater for them all but we’re not getting the funding for it and as a school we’re having to front up and fund this. If they continue to fund us the way they do, someone will end up saying, sorry, I don’t have the money. Most of us work on a negative budget so all the drip feeds help.”

The fund will also put $4.2 million in to extend the Incredible Years programme for children with high needs to teachers and parents of autistic children aged two to five.

Workers the winners Workers are the winners in the Government’s election year Budget which delivers more cash in the hand to almost everyone – including $2 billion worth of tax cuts and boosts to Working for Families.

The centrepiece of the Budget was the Family Incomes Package’ which included a mix of tax cuts, and increases for many on Working for Families and the Accommodation Supplement – a package which will cost $6.5 billion over the next four years.

Finance Minister Steven Joyce said it was expected to benefit about 1.3 million families by an average of $26 a week as well as 750,000 superannuants and 41,000 students.

It includes a tax cut of about $11 a week for workers on more than $22,000 and $20 for those on more than $52,000 a year. That was from moving up the bottom two tax rate thresholds – the lowest threshold will lift from $14,000 to $22,000 and the second from $48,000 to $52,000.

The tax changes will apply from April next year and leave an estimated $2 billion a year in workers’ pockets once in place.

Joyce also signalled further tax cuts ahead, saying the Government would continue to adjust taxes where it had the money to do so.

The biggest boost was for beneficiaries and those on low incomes who get the Families Tax Credit under Working for Families and the Accommodation Supplement – some of whom will get more than $145 a week more.

Working for Families family tax credits will rise by $9.25 a week for a first child under 16, and between $17.75 and $26.81 for other children – expected to cost about $318 million a year from 2019. It means families get the same rate for younger children as for those aged 16-18.

The Budget also delivers an average boost of $35 a week for 136,000 households getting the Accommodation Supplement.

Some will get up to $145 more because areas such as west and south Auckland and Christchurch have been moved into categories which get higher payments because of high rents.

Music festival practices under way Heartland Ashburton Schools Music Festival approaches, and the 600 children involved could not be happier.

They get to sing their favourite pop songs and other tunes as part of their school choirs, and will be doing so front of large audiences at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre next month.

This week at Ashburton Intermediate School hall, those practising included (from left) Ashleigh Houston, Zoe Nicholls and Paige Aitken from Tinwald School.

Twelve primary schools from throughout Mid Canterbury are involved, under the musical direction of Anna Lischner.

As well as individual schools and massed choir performances staged over three nights, there will be a representative choir performing every night.

One of the mass choir conductors Kerrin Lester said preparations for the festival, to stage June 20, 21 and 22, were going well.

“They have obviously been working hard in their schools,” she said.

hat a shame to hear the Variety Theatre Ashburton performance of The Addams Family will struggle to break even, due to low ticket sales.

I know the hours and hours of work put into these shows and for that dedication not to reap support is a real blow.

It costs the organisation between $100,000 to $120,000 each year to stage and this year will be “touch and go” as to whether it breaks even or not.

Ticket sales for The Addams Family were sitting around the 50 per cent mark, whereas with previous Variety shows they were around 80 to 90 per cent.

Ending on Saturday, time is running out for word of mouth to encourage and inform people of what a great show this has been.

The Addams Family is a sensational production, full of brilliant songs and a passionate and dynamic cast, featuring stunningly spooky settings.

But, unlike major shows, where people have grown up knowing the associated songs and stories by heart, The Addams Family is unfortunately the new kid on the block.

Posts to our Facebook page have detailed how much people have loved the show and what an incredible performance the cast and crew have put together.

But, they also raise the issue of cost.

Yes, unfortunately good theatre does have a price tag and I realise that it’s a luxury many cannot afford, but there’s also a need for the community to support these productions at a grassroots level.

Variety has also not changed its prices for about five years.

The cost of putting on these shows is high, factoring in venue hire, technical management, lighting, sound and paying the directing team.

Everyone else does it for the love of it.

I’ve been involved in plenty of shows, both onstage and behind the scenes, and no-one’s in it for the money, trust me.

Instead, the volunteers putting in blood, sweat and tears are rewarded with the knowledge they’re providing good-quality entertainment, fostering local talent and getting involved in their community.

It’s vital our local theatre is supported, so make sure you get your tickets quick!

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

T

hanks for sending through your tips and advice on how to save costs as we face the added expense of winter power bills.

Charlene told us that she lives by the motto “every little bit counts” so makes sure to keep doors closed to rooms that are not in use, does her washing after 10pm and remembers to turn lights off in rooms that are not being used.

Judith’s top tips were to turn off the range at the wall when finished and don’t leave the TV on standby.

Alison also suggested calculating what your bills were last year, divide by 52 weeks and pay that weekly amount to a savings account or direct to your supplier.

The team at EECA ENERGYWISE have also shared a handy graphic of tips for you that we’ve shared to our Facebook page.

YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK The moment Ed Sheeran tickets went on sale this week, Mid Canterbury fans joined the frenzy. We asked our Facebook followers if they’d had any luck and how the process had been.

Here are your comments: Jacqui No tried everything possible, computer, phone, iPad no joy even had a couple of friends helping and they had no luck.

It’s then sad to see people who have brought just to onsell they have no consideration that we then have to tell our kids they can’t go and it’s mainly due to horrible people just buying to make money.

Abby No it wouldn’t even allow me to complete the registration even though my allocated seating was listed.

I don’t know why you have to register I entered all the details within plenty of time and nothing processed.

OFF THE AIR

I

am loving the ‘On this day’ memories feature of Facebook at the moment.

I have seen some awesome photos of my kids from the past in the last month or so that I have been getting these posts from the “Facey” team.

A week ago I was reminded I went to a hypnotist and gave up smoking seven years ago. I was guessing it had been around five years, but no, there it was in black and white for me.

I am so glad I did it and will never go back, let’s face it, two scoops of rice a week doesn’t really allow one to afford to smoke anyway.

I have only gained 2kg since giving up. Just a shame it was every bloody year!

I have also just followed brother Greg and his family trip around the US, thanks to the photos and videos he posted on Facebook.

I have regular audio and video calls with Greg in Brisbane, Mark in Christchurch and Uncle Grant in Virginia, America, on Facebook Messenger.

As you can imagine those fourway calls get out of hand very quickly, with plenty of you know what hurled around.

What a great way to keep in touch. I love it!

In the past couple of weeks I have been watching Peter Mac’s trip to the US on Facebook as

well. I could almost feel him fall in love with New Orleans, by the photos and comments he posted. Loved that!

I am following other friends on holiday in Italy, Fiji and Aussie at the moment.

It’s important to enjoy these posts from the friend’s point of view, otherwise sometimes the green-eyed monster can appear, if every second post on your feed is another friend enjoying themselves while you are stuck in your day-to-day routine.

Facebookers must remember, it’s not real life, it’s just a tool. It’s not like sitting and talking to a friend about their holiday.

It’s not as good as sitting down and talking to anyone about anything for that matter.

Also, how many ‘likes’ or favourable comments one of your posts receives, just isn’t that important in the big scheme of things.

I hate it when people use a social media platform to slag or bully others.

Or just about as bad are the attention-seeking drama queens.

The ones who post things like “So sad at the moment”.

Sure enough the fish start biting soon after, “oh dear, what’s wrong Hun?”.

The drama then unfolds, but

by the time you’ve finished reading the 47 drama-filled comments, the drama is over. This is when I love the unfollow button.

Let’s keep the dirty laundry in the washing machine people.

Happy Facebooking everyone, but keep it real.

Bombing driven by revenge The Manchester bomber’s sister has claimed he was driven to murder because he wanted revenge for “the explosives America drops on children in Syria”.

Jomana Abedi, 18, described her older brother Salman as kind and loving and said she was surprised that he had detonated a suicide bomb, killing 22 people after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena on Monday.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal she said she thought he was driven by what he saw as injustices.

“I think he saw children – Muslim children – dying everywhere, and wanted revenge,” Miss Abedi told the paper.

“He saw the explosives America drops on children in Syria, and he wanted revenge.

“Whether he got that is between him and God,” she added.

A family friend also alleged that it was the murder of Abedi’s 18-year-old friend that caused him to kill.

Abdul Wahab Hafidah was run over and stabbed in Manchester in May 2016 in what is believed to have been a gangland killing.

An unnamed family friend said Abedi was ‘vowing revenge’ at the funeral and he viewed the murder as a hate crime.

They added that Abedi became increasingly religious and interested in extremist groups.

Before his arrest in Tripoli, Abedi’s father said his son had been affected by the death.

He told the New York Times: “Yes, a friend of his was killed by the gangs of Manchester, but that doesn’t mean that he carried out an attack for it.”

Ramadan Abedi, was arrested by masked gunmen in Tripoli while recording TV interviews in the country.

He had claimed his son

seemed “normal” when they spoke five days ago and insisted: “We don’t believe in killing innocents.”

Abedi’s younger brother Hashem has also been arrested in Libya, on suspicion of having links to Isis, who claimed responsibility for the atrocity.

He was “aware of all the details” of his brother’s plans, a Libyan security force official said and had been “under surveillance for a month and a half” before his arrest.

The Deterrence Force said on its Facebook page that “investigation teams supplied in-

telligence that he was planning a terrorist attack in the capital Tripoli”.

Abedi’s older brother Ismail, 23, was arrested in Chorlton, south Manchester. His uncle was detained in Manchester, while there are conflicting reports that the killer’s mother is also in police custody.

Attention has been focused on how the bomber had been allowed to slip through the net and why warnings about his descent into jihadism were apparently overlooked, the Daily Mail reported.

Yesterday it was alleged that two calls about his conduct had been made to a police anti-terror hotline and that his family had repeatedly raised concerns he was “dangerous”.

It was also claimed the Salford university drop-out had travelled extensively in the Middle East and received terror training in Syria.

Meanwhile US entertainer Ariana Grande has suspended her Dangerous Woman tour following the attack on her Manchester show which killed 22 people. A spokesman for the 23-year-old announced the decision following widespread speculation that dates would be affected.

“Due to the tragic events in Manchester the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost,” a statement said.

“The London O2 shows this week have been cancelled as well as all shows through June 5 in Switzerland.

“We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence.”

Grande is scheduled to perform in Australia and New Zealand in September.

Contestant suing Tyra An America’s Got Talent contestant is suing Tyra Banks for battery and assault, claiming the supermodel humiliated her daughter at a taping of the show. The contestant (named Jane Doe in the suit) performed a song with her husband about their daughter (identified as Mary in the suit). According to Variety, she claims they were “humiliated” by the judges and the audience, and says Banks added to the humiliation by making fun of the song in front of Mary. She alleges Banks pulled her daughter’s hair back, physically manipulated her, and insinuated Mary was conceived by accident.

Peter Andre in concert Peter Andre has just announced he’s coming to New Zealand. The 90s pop heartthrob famed for his worldwide hit Mysterious Girl is on a “greatest hits” tour and he’s coming this way in November.

After Mysterious Girl, Andre’s chart success continued with the release of Get Down On It, which debuted at number one on the New Zealand charts. He also has coffee business ventures, book deals, fragrances and most recently children’s books. And he’s not coming alone – he’s bringing special guests 90s R&B stars CDB and Kulcha.

Sex with 14-year-old boys brings jail term A 40-year-old woman who was filmed having a threesome with two 14-year-old schoolboys has been jailed for two and half years.

Beverley Tillyer allowed three different boys, all aged 14, to have sex with her at parties held at her home, where they were allowed to drink and take drugs, according to Daily Mail.

Leeds Crown Court heard how Tillyer also visited the home of one of the teenagers, where she had sex with him.

Dave Mackay, prosecuting, said the offending took place over several months in 2008, when she was in her early 30s and ran a “chaotic household”.

Tillyer had sex with the first

victim on six occasions, twice with the second victim and on one occasion with the third victim.

The offending took place at her then home near Pontefract, West Yorkshire on all but one occasion.

The youngsters did not make a complaint at the time of the offending, however the abuse came to light in 2015 when a woman made an allegation to police.

One victim described how the abuse had led to a family breakdown, while another said it had affected his confidence and he feared seeing Tillyer.

After being arrested, Tillyer initially denied carrying out any abuse and claimed she

Beverley Tillyer had been raped by the boys.

She later pleaded guilty to three offences of sexual activity with a child.

Kate Bissett, mitigating, said Tillyer suffered from anxiety and a personality disorder.

She said: “She was seeking intimacy rather than seeking to exploit them for sexual gratification.”

Jailing Tillyer, judge James Spencer, QC, said: “You took advantage of those boys when you should have shown a more responsible attitude.

“Of course they were willing participants but you were the adult.

“The adult has to take care of children even when they are 14 and think they know it all.

“Because of the degree of seriousness here, it does seem to me that there has to be a prison sentence.”

Sultana now a hot item Four years ago, Tash Sultana was an unemployed drug addict, busking on the streets of Melbourne. Now, the 21-yearold songwriter is one of the brightest stars on our new music radar – selling out tours across Australia and New Zealand at lightning speed. Her meteoric rise began last year when Sultana shared a video of herself performing on social media and the rest, as they say, is history.

Within five days, she had clocked more than a million views. When tickets to her three NZ shows went on sale, they sold out in just three days and her North American and European tours are also in hot demand.

Govt targets tax loopholes relating to expenses borne by a company exploring a commercial initiative that is later abandoned.

The issue was the subject of unsuccessful appeals all the way to the Supreme Court by electricity generator Trustpower, which sought relief for expenses related to a windfarm development that did not go ahead.

“Tax consequences should not be an obstacle to businesses innovating and pursuing opportunities for growth,” said Revenue Minister Judith Collins. “Where no asset is created on the balance sheet, feasibility expenditure would be immediately deductible for income tax purposes.

“Where an asset is created, we are proposing that the feasibility expenditure would be capital expenditure for tax purposes.”

An exposure draft on the initiative is now available and will be open for discussion from July 6.

While tax forecasts include a contingency for possible lost revenue from the initiative, the sum is not disclosed in the Budget documents.

Compiled by

a still impressive 2.4 per cent in 2021. Migration is likely to remain strong, supporting this strong growth profile. As a result, GDP per capita is forecast to be more modest at 1.8 per cent in 2019, slipping to 1.1 per cent in 2021. The unemployment rate is forecast to decline to 4.3 per cent in 2020, with inflation rising modestly over the next few years.

Debt continues to fall in the forecasts, so the target of Crown debt at 20 per cent of GDP by 2019/20 is met, while also allowing Superannuation Fund contributions to resume at that point.

The key to this budget was the $2 billion Family Incomes Package. As expected, this will see tax relief by way of changes to income brackets. The upper threshold for the lowest tax rate of 10.5 per cent increases from $14,000 to $22,000, and the threshold for the next bracket of 17.5 per cent rises from $48,000 to $52,000. The top threshold of $70,000 (where the top tax rate of 33 per cent kicks in) is unchanged. This is looking to target low to middle income earners, trying to put more cash back in their pockets.

Other notable announcements include a change to the family tax credits, increased accommodation supplement, a $7 billion increase in public service spending (of which $3.9 billion is

Following the budget announcement, the New Zealand dollar spiked, however this was pared back quickly while the NZX50 moved sideways.

Fonterra made an important announcement this week, raising the forecast Farmgate Milk Price by 15 cents per kilo of milksolids.

This takes the per kilo price to $6.15, the highest we have seen since the 2013/14 season. When combined with the dividend, the total payment to farmers rises to $6.55, representing the first time in three seasons that the forecast payout will be above the Dairy NZ estimated breakeven amount.

In addition to this, the forecast for the 2017/2018 season was announced to be $6.50, further positive news for the dairy sector.

The local reporting season continued this week, the busiest week for the May reporting season. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare was one of note, however the result was a little bit weaker than expected.

The company delivered FY17 earnings that were in line with guidance provided in November, with the hospital business continuing to deliver exceptional growth. The disappointment came from the outlook for 2018, which came in well below expectations reflecting the higher than expected litigation costs.

arkets have had another mixed week, rocked early in the week by a terror attack in the UK. The geopolitical uncertainty caused by this event saw markets across most of the globe fall.

Although the market losses were made up in the following sessions, the uncertainty also resulted in lower trading volumes, as investors chose to sit on the sidelines.

The big economic event in New Zealand was the announcement of the 2017 budget. In previous years, the budget has been somewhat of a non-event with most policies drip-fed to the public prior to budget day.

However with a surplus to play with and an election coming up the anticipation for this year’s budget was high, and it didn’t disappoint.

Yesterday’s Budget was the most generous we have seen in years, and National looks to have struck the right balance between spending more where it is necessary, yet remaining fiscally responsible. The reaction from financial markets was limited, reflecting comfort with the current path of the economy and the responsible approach the Government is taking to an improving economic and fiscal position.

The economic and fiscal forecasts in the Budget painted a picture of a strong economy that is growing at a robust pace.

It points to a healthy surplus of $2.9 billion in 2017/18, rising to $7.2 billion in 2020/21.

GDP growth is forecast to increase to a peak of 3.8 per cent in 2019, before tapering off to

UK attack sparks uncertainty

The government expects to raise at least $250 million over the next three years from closing foreign tax loopholes exploited by both multinational corporations and New Zealand companies with offshore activities.

The gains are expected from three initiatives put out for discussion in the last nine months covering transfer pricing and permanent establishment avoidance, interesting limitation relating mainly to related party debt, and hybrid financial instrument mismatches.

The latter allow companies to pack their New Zealand entities with tax-deductible debt arrangements and reduce tax here and have been subject to a string of successful challenges in the courts by the Inland Revenue Department in recent years.

The forecasts, said to be conservative, assume $50m of additional tax paid in the next financial year, rising to $100m a year in the following two years.

Meanwhile, the Budget does away with the contentious treatment of so-called ‘black hole’ expenditure,

garlic, chilli, ginger and spring onions and cook over a low heat until onions have softened but not browned.

■ Add the stock and fish sauce and bring to a simmer. Once the stock is gently simmering add the chicken to essentially poach in the stock. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Skim off any fat or other “scum” that rises to the

surface of your broth to ensure that you have a nice clear broth.

■ Drain the rice noodles and add these to four deep bowls. Add chicken to each bowl and then pour in the chicken broth. Garnish with coriander, extra chilli, bean sprouts to taste.

MU-X a game changer I

suzu New Zealand says its new MU-X seven-seater has the potential to be a game changer in the booming SUV sector.

The new model was launched to the press in Auckland late last week.

Isuzu utes general manager Murray Greenhalgh said the maximum torque in the MU-X has been boosted from 380Nm to 430Nm. The model has a 3-litre double overhead cam, 4-cylinder turbo charged motor.

At 3000kg of towing power, Isuzu says the MU-X can happily tow that weight all day.

Aside from engine improvements, there is the standard new front grille.

The new upgrade, purpose-built for the New Zealand market, also has new front and rear bumpers, LED projector lights (also daytime running lights), a new spoiler on the back, 18 inch alloys and the front pillars are narrower allowing improved vision.

Isuzu New Zealand has only one version of the MU-X on the market, so all those items are standard.

The new interior of the MU-X adds luxury with updated leather seats, leather steering wheel and a new touchscreen navigation.

An abundance of space combined with

smart design and durability makes riding in the Isuzu MU-X SUV a delight for passengers, as well as the driver behind the wheel.

The Premium Audio sound system includes USB and Bluetooth connectivity plus audio streaming.

Eight speakers and Live Surround

Sound combine with a 10.2” roof mounted rear monitor to provide an unparalleled entertainment experience.

It’s not just the numerous features that will impress, but also the level of comfort and well thought-out use of space – ensuring every moment you spend in your Isuzu MU-X is time well spent.

For $65,990 including GST, the MU-X is competitively placed alongside other similar styled ‘tough’ SUVs, the Toyota Fortuner and Holden Trailblazer.

A new seat design in the Isuzu MU-X utilises ‘wrap-around’ bolsters for increased shoulder, back and base support.

Featuring luxury leather upholstery on body contact areas in the 7-seater SUV and a six way electric adjustment for the driver’s position.

Two rows of split fold rear seats offers versatility for all occasions.

From one of the world’s leading manufacturers of diesel engine technology, the impressive Isuzu 3.0 Litre turbo diesel engine that powers the MU-X is as frugal as it is athletic.

Delivering plenty of power and torque, this stirring powerplant produces equally amazing fuel economy of just 7.8 litres per 100km – which means less time filling up and more money in your pocket to spend on your next adventure.

Isuzu are the diesel specialists, and know that the secret to producing reliable and efficient power is to have a large capacity, under-stressed engine.

Whether you’re taking your family on holiday, towing a trailer or travelling uphill, the famous Isuzu flat torque curve gives you fast, smooth acceleration when you need it.

Alfa finds its saviour

I

t’s been the vehicle that Alfa Romeo fans have been holding out for as the start of the revitalisation globally for the famous Italian brand, the sporty Giulia sedan.

Now Kiwis have a chance to buy the top spec Quadrifoglio (priced from $134,990) with the first models now in dealerships.

The Veloce ($79,990) will follow in the next few months.

The Giulia is the first of eight allnew models due from Alfa Romeo by the end of 2020, after the brand’s boss, Sergio Marchionne, set about rebuilding the company in 2013 with £5 billion ($NZ7.6b) invested in creating new products.

The Giulia was the first from that project with the Stelvio SUV next in the lineup. It was revealed at the 2015 Frankfurt motor show and is due here early next year.

But the focus for Alfa Romeo in New Zealand now is the Giulia, and in particular the Quadrifoglio (QF).

It’s powered by a Ferrari-inspired 2.9

litre, V6 biturbo petrol engine producing 375kW of power and 600Nm of torque and paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

It’s the first rear-wheel-drive from Alfa in 30 years since the 75 was discontinued.

The Giulia QF can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 307km/h, but more famously it holds a record at the Nurburgring with a time of just 7m 39.0s.

That time is the fastest for a sedan and even beats the Ferrari 458 Italia and Porsche 911 GT3 RS at the famous track.

The Giulia Veloce has a 2-litre turbo petrol engine producing 206kW of power and 400Nm of torque with 0-100km/h time of 5.7s.

Whereas in the past Alfa has been plagued with reliability issues, the brand is ready to dismiss that reputation.

Each Giulia off the production line at the Cassino, Italy, plant is tested by a professional driver for 150 minutes.

Powered by a Ferrari-inspired 2.9 litre, V6 biturbo petrol engine producing 375kW of power and 600Nm of torque, the new Alfa is now available for Kiwi buyers.

Future fuel

J

apan is backing a push for pollution-free vehicles that run on hydrogen and iss planning to build more hydrogen fuelling stations so that fuel-cell vehicles on roads will grow to 40,000 by 2020, from the current handful.

The collaboration on fuel cells brings together 11 companies, including Toyota Motor Corp, Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. energy and gas companies and a bank.

Fuel cell vehicles are zero-emission, running on power produced when hydrogen combines with oxygen in the air to create water.

Now, only a handful of such vehicles are on the roads, partly because of the scarcity of hydrogen stations.

Honda, for instance has delivered only 245 of its latest Clarity fuel-cell vehicles in Japan and the US. Toyota has delivered about 3000 of its Mirai fuel cell cars.

The need for vehicles equipped with such futuristic technology is expected to grow because of concerns about pollution and global warming.

Other ecological vehicles are also available such as electric cars and hybrids, which switch back and forth between a gas engine and an electric motor.

But the Japanese government has been especially bullish about hydrogen-powered autos. It aims to raise the number of hydrogen fuelling stations to 160 by 2020, from about 90 today, including mobile ones.

CHECK,

CHECK AGAIN. Every year, over 700 drivers in Canterbury cause a crash by failing to giveway.

When at an intersection, check and check again.

Stylish, yet sensible

T

he words style and sensible often don’t sit well together.

Well with the C-HR, Toyota reckon they do.

So let’s see!

While Toyota are somewhat late in joining the small SUV party, they have certainly done it in style with this trendy, European designed C-HR. It’s certainly a head turner with its great mix of rakishly sharp lines, curves and smart 18inch alloys.

So, why are smaller SUVs like this becoming so popular?

They’re easy to get in and out of with higher seating positions, they’re easy to park and pretty nimble.

And their SUV shape means good passenger and luggage space.

C-HRs cost $37,990 for the front-wheeldrive model and $39,990 for all-wheeldrive, which compared to others of a similar size in the market, may seem a little on the high side.

That is, until the rather rich list of standard gear on board is factored in.

Oh, then there’s the interior.

This pretty much matches the exterior’s style and creates an appropriate sense of occasion with the attention given to detail, the soft touch materials used and finishes.

There’s a smart new 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine under the bonnet.

It delivers 85kW of power, and more importantly, peak torque of 185Nm right

FINALE With this enjoyable, easy to drive and versatile C-HR, Toyota prove that the words “style and sensible” can indeed sit well together!

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

from 1500 to 4000rpm, which the quick acting, but smooth seven step, constantly variable transmission makes the best use of.

So it is an ever-willing, keen if you so wish, performer for driving on our local contours.

And with economy to match with a claimed overall 6.4L/100km (computer showed 7.0L/100km for my drive-time).

Premium fuel is recommended.

Of course hill-work means it has to work a little harder and sport mode proved useful, and keeping in mind that the C-HR is more about style, practicality and economy rather than outright grunt, any lack of the latter is easily forgiven!

Especially with the way it rides and handles.

It sits on Toyota’s latest chassis and suspension set-up, has a nice low centre of gravity, and has nicely weighted and progressive electric power steering, so it drives more like a well-sorted car, one in

which you can enjoy (and I did) pressing on through challenging corners.

While this performance and handling won’t of course set enthusiasts’ hearts racing, this in combination with the ever comfortable ride meant it was also a nice place to do longer trips in.

Quiet too, with lots of attention obviously given to sound deadening.

On coarse-chip, there’s just slight road noise.

We found the front seats excellent.

They sit at a nice convenient height and are both comfortable and cosy, (although don’t have in-seat heating) with very good views ahead and sideways.

The main instruments and controls angle nicely towards the driver.

They include a 6.1-inch touch screen display with sat-nav, reversing camera, dual climate air-con and decent sound system.

The back seats, which sit a little lower are two-adult comfortable, with good head and leg space.

However for infantry, the up-sweep of the rear doors means it is hard for them to see out, and also, when outside, reach the high-placed door handles.

The rectangular luggage space, has a high floor and is easily loaded.

It takes 318 litres or 1140 litres with back seats folded (which golfers will need to do).

The hatch on each first opening felt a

little heavy to initially lift, but was fine as soon as it started to rise.

C-HRs are 5-star ANCAP safety rated.

There’s seven air-bags and a full suite of driver-assistance and active safety features.

These include active radar cruise control (which I like to use), a pre-crash safety system, lane departure alert, blind spot monitors, a reversing camera and front/ rear parking sensors.

TOYOTA C-HR 2-WD ■ Pricing: As driven $37,990 (AWD is $39,990) ■ Engine: 1.2-litre, 85kW/185Nm, 4 cylinder turbo petrol.

■ Transmission: 7-step constantly variable transmission - front wheel drive.

■ Quoted Economy: 6.4L/100km.

■ Tows: 600kg braked.

he launch range of the all-new Nissan Micra has been completed with the arrival at retailers of the eagerly anticipated 1.0-litre 71PS entrylevel model.

While it’s the last of three launch engines to go on sale, it will play a vital role in the Micra success story.

Offering an excellent balance of performance and running costs, the three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine is linked to a five-speed manual transmission.

This highly efficient powertrain results in official Combined Cycle fuel economy of 61.4mpg and CO2 emissions of 103g/km when running on 15 or 16-inch wheels.

The new 1.0-litre 71PS engine joins the 0.9-litre 90PS three-cylinder turbo petrol and the 1.5-litre 90PS four-cylinder diesel, which went on sale earlier this year.

The new Nissan Micra is quite simply a revolution. It is a radical progression from the model it has replaced, and from the trio of highly successful superminis which date back to the Micra’s debut in Europe in 1983.

Longer, wider and lower than ever before, the all-new Micra has been conceived, designed and engineered with European customers’ requirements at the top of the agenda.

Key to its appeal is the hatchback’s athletic and expressive exterior design, which moves the Micra name plate in a daring new direction. The contemporary look and premium feel continues inside, with a high-quality cabin that boasts two-tone soft-touch materials as standard across the range.

Also unique to Micra is the BOSE Personal audio system, which features speakers built into the driver’s head rest for an immersive 360° sound experience.

The new Micra is also a fantastic car to drive, with a dynamic performance that is the perfect balance between agility, excitement and the secure feeling that comes with confident and predictable handling.

■ HARNESS JEWELS

Jewels a family affair

By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

As a dam, she’s already considered as being highly successful, but the real calling for Rob The Nest may just come as a granddam if this year’s Four-Year-Old Ruby at next week’s Harness Jewels is anything to go by.

The dam of super trotters Sonofthedon and Thedonson will have three of her descendants contesting the $100,000 4YO Ruby at next weekend’s Harness Jewels meeting in Ashburton.

Eagle Galleon, Wilma’s Mate and Ruby leader Temporale will all line up on June 3 and will do so as cousins, with all three coming from half-sisters who all hail from Rob The Nest.

Former Harness Racing New Zealand chairman, Gary Allen, who bred Wilma’s Mate’s dam, Mybrotherwasastar and Eagle Galleon’s dam, Galleon’s Assault and also raced Rob The Nest, was particularly proud of the achievement.

“For three half-sisters to all have a runner in the Jewels is quite an effort,” Allen said.

“It’s been a wonderful family for a long time.”

Neil Munro, who raced Rob The Nest with Allen, bred Whosinthenest who is the dam of Rowe Cup winner Temporale.

For Allen, Jewels Day and the 4YO Ruby will bring dual roles.

For the first time he will be able to enjoy the day as a racing enthusiast away from the shackles of being required for a dignitary

Ashburton Guardian 23

In brief Last hurrah for Sokool Impressive last-start winner So Far Sokool will have one last start for Byerley Park trainers Peter and Dawn Williams before heading to Victoria. The two-year-old Showcasing filly will line-up in the Listed Graeme Thomson Jewellers Great Northern Foal Stakes (1400m) at Ellerslie tomorrow, before flying out to join Archie Alexander’s Ballarat stable. She was purchased

by OTI Racing on the back of her stand-out performance in the Avondale Fillies’ Classic (1200m) on Anzac day, where she won by four and a half lengths.

Fred targets Derby Flying Fred remains in contention for a cheeky tilt at the Queensland Derby after he went within a whisker of claiming an Australian win last Sunday. The Evan and JJ Rayner-trained Fully Fledged gelding went down by a nose after making a sweeping run from last, encouraging his trainers after flopping at the Gold Coast at his previous start. “He had a rough run but he got home really well,” JJ Rayner said. “He’d have to do something pretty special to get in the Derby, but we’ll just see what happens.”

- NZME Rowe Cup winner Temporale will be one of three members from the same family racing in the 4YO Ruby at next week’s Harness Jewels in Ashburton.

There as a breeder, Allen is also in as an owner with Eagle Galleon.

The Robert Wilson-trained four-year-old began the season as a maiden but will find himself next week taking on horses who have won multiple Group One races in their careers.

“It’s very exciting to have him

there,” Allen said.

“In the last month or so, he has very much matured as a racehorse, we never probably thought he would be a chance of making it to be honest.

“But he’s got better each time he’s stepped out and it’s going to be very exciting to have him a part of the day.”

Dexter Dunn has been booked

to drive the horse but Allen was being very realistic about his chances.

“I think it would be a pipe dream to think that we could win it, but if he’s running on at the finish I will be over the moon.”

Eagle Galleon is a $101 chance in the Ruby while cousins Temporale ($5.20) and Wilma’s Mate ($3.90) are much more favoured.

HK beckons for 3YO Impressive last-start Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes winner Sweet Leader may have run his last race in New Zealand. “He was turned out after Te Rapa, but I understand he’s been vetted to go to Hong Kong,” said Lance O’Sullivan, who trains in partnership with Andrew Scott.

“You don’t get disappointed by these things, it’s just all part of the game.” A colt by O’Reilly, Sweet Leader won three of his five starts for O’Sullivan and Scott.

■ SHOCKING LUCK

Eagle Farm challenge for Derby fancy The versatility of the current Gr.1 Queensland Derby favourite Shocking Luck will be fully tested in his final lead-up this weekend to the June 10 classic.

The three-year-old soared to the top of the market following his somewhat hollow win in the Gr.3 Rough Habit Plate in soft going at Doomben, but tomorrow’s Gr.3 Grand Prix Stakes at Eagle Farm represents a sterner challenge.

“He’s a much better horse on top of the ground and we didn’t think he would handle it last time out,” said Jamie Richards, who trains Shocking Luck with Stephen Autridge.

“It’s going to be worse at Eagle Farm and while we don’t think the two-week turnaround is a problem.

“He’s thriving and we’re happy – the track isn’t going to come back and it will certainly be cutting out.”

Kiwi jockey Opie Bosson will again be aboard Shocking Luck and he will also ride Melody Belle (Gr.2 BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes) and Jimmy Rea (Green Options Handicap).

“Melody Belle is going well, but she’s first-up over 1400 metres on a heavy track,” Richards said.

“She could be a bit vulnerable, but she needs to run and she will improve into the J.J. Atkins, which is her main target over here.

“Jimmy Rea is in good order and he has trialled well.

“There has to be a bit of a question mark as he hasn’t run for 18 months, but his work has been very good.”

Stablemate Zambezi Warrior was an eye-catching fourth in his Australian debut in the Gr.3 Chairman’s Handicap and he has trained on well since.

Jeff Lloyd will again take the reins.

“He ran very well, he doesn’t mind wet ground and the step up to 2200 metres should suit him,” Richards said.

Meanwhile, the ground has already counted out one of the stable’s Gr.3 Fred Best Classic acceptors and the other’s participation is in the balance.

“Hall Of Fame definitely won’t run because of the track and Heroic Valour is doubtful,” Richards said.

- NZME

A persistent wind issue has forced the retirement of the 2015 Karaka Million winner Hardline. Trainer Liam Birchley called time after the fouryear-old suffered a trapped epiglottis for a third time. Hardline was bought for $130,000 out of Hallmark Stud’s 2014 draft to Karaka.

The son of Showcasing ends his career with four wins and just over $635,000 in stake earnings.- NZME

Timy Tyler running hot Kelvin Tyler knows what it takes to win a Winter Cup and he has an eye on further success in Riccarton’s Group Three feature in early August. The Riverton trainer won the race in 2015 with Timy Tyler, who is currently spelling, and he has hopes of a repeat performance in this year’s edition with Flying Sardine. “I’d like to have a crack at it with her, she’s really on fire at the moment,” Tyler said.

- NZME

Bella Gioia on track

Shocking Luck with regular jockey Opie Bosson aboard.

Group one performer Bella Gioia is hitting top gear in Queensland after a slow start. “She took a while to get back on her tucker when she first arrived, but she’s come right and she’s ready to rock and roll now,” Cambridge trainer Shaune Ritchie said. Bella Gioia will make her Australian debut in the group three Fred Best Classic at Eagle Farm tomorrow and her performance will determine the future direction of her campaign.

In brief Smith back on field Highlanders co-captain and All Blacks stalwart Ben Smith has overcome an ankle injury to play in his Super Rugby side’s clash with the Waratahs in Dunedin. The 30-year-old Smith has struggled for game time in 2017 after suffering a concussion in round one against the Chiefs and then an ankle strain in last month’s 57-14 thumping of the Stormers.

He missed his side’s perfect tour of South Africa and Perth as a result, and has made just six appearances this season.

Watters Cup now main focus

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

They are the games very few teams actually want to play, but the next stage of the Combined Country Rugby competition will give four Mid Canterbury sides the perfect base from which to build a Watters Cup platform.

With the competition now having been split into four separate sections, with the top eight teams still in with a shot at the major prize, those left languishing behind them face three weeks of rugby in which they are playing largely for pride.

But with the major target of senior rugby in Mid Canterbury, the Watters Cup, just around the corner, the opportunity is there for Celtic, Southern, Hampstead

and Methven to build towards the second half of the season.

Mid Canterbury’s other side, Rakaia, are still in the hunt for competition glory and will tackle Prebbleton at home tomorrow afternoon.

With Rakaia clearly leading the way, it’s a case of the other four teams playing a bit of catch-up leading into the Watters Cup, with the chance to build confidence and form both up for grabs.

In the trophy section of the competition, which features both Southern and Celtic, all games are in Mid Canterbury this weekend.

Both sides have promised plenty this season, but have fallen at crucial times which ultimately cost them a spot in the

top section of the competition.

Southern will play host to Saracens out at Hinds, in a match which could go either way based on their performances during the round robin stage of the competition.

Celtic will host the other match in which they face Kaiapoi at Celtic.

Both sides have shown their ability to produce outstanding rugby and the prospect of both teams showing up on Saturday and putting together a complete performance would produce a quality game of rugby.

Down in the next level, designated the plaque, Methven will fly the Mid Canterbury flag.

Andy Pearce’s men will see this section as one that they can

finish on top of with matches against Hornby, Burnham, Dunsandel and Irwell and West Melton, the latter of whom they have already beaten this season.

They will travel to Dunsandel tomorrow to take on the BDI side.

Hampstead, who registered their first win of the season last weekend against Ohoka, will play in the plate section alongside Ohoka and the also winless Rolleston.

That should, if form is to be taken into account, provide two good wins for Regan Broker’s side to help get them feeling confident heading into the next stage of their season.

Hampstead begin the next stage with the bye this weekend.

Hooker Hika Elliot is the latest Chiefs veteran to announce his departure after this Super Rugby season. Four-test All Black Elliot has signed a two-year deal with US Oyonnax, who have won promotion to the elite French Top 14 championship. Also leaving the Chiefs for France are their All Blacks halves Aaron Cruden and Tawera Kerr-Barlow, while winger James Lowe is Ireland-bound and coach Dave Rennie has signed a deal in Scotland. Elliot, 31, will end a nine-season stint with the Chiefs, having played a solitary season for the Hurricanes in 2008.

More kudos for ABs The All Blacks have won the 2017 edition of Spain’s prestigious Princess of Asturias Award for Sport. The team won the award – one of the most eminent distinctions in the Spanish-speaking world – for having become a world-wide icon in rugby, according to the award’s jury. The jury highlighted the All Blacks’ “extraordinary sporting achievements over the years,” and their commitment to “such noble values as solidarity and sportsmanship”.

Izzy makes welcome return

Middle order a major issue

The undefeated Crusaders hardly need the help but will this weekend be boosted by the return of Israel Dagg.

The All Black outside back last featured for the Super Rugby leaders in their victory over the Reds in March, a triumph that was the third in an unbroken 12-win streak to start the season.

Dagg has since spent more than two months rehabilitating after a knee operation but, on Saturday night in Melbourne, will return on the right wing to face the Rebels.

His inclusion is one of 10 changes coach Scott Robertson has opted to make, choosing to rest a number of key men after emerging unscathed from a punishing two-week showdown against the Hurricanes and Chiefs.

The bench front row in last weekend’s win over the Chiefs in Suva will assume the starting spots on Saturday night, with Wyatt Crockett, Ben Funnell and Mike Alaalatoa all enjoying a promotion.

Lock Quinten Strange will make his first start of the season, pairing up with Sam Whitelock in the second row, while Luke Romano takes a spot on the bench.

The loose forward trio will be Heiden Bedwell-Curtis, Pete Samu and Jordan Taufua, with Jed Brown having recovered from injury to take a place in the reserves.

The halves combination of Bryn Hall and Richie Mo’unga retain their places but will be working inside a new midfield pairing, with Seta Tamanivalu switching to centre and Tim Bateman starting in place of a concussed Ryan Crotty. - NZME

If New Zealand are to genuinely contest for the Champions Trophy next month, their all-rounders must deliver consistently.

Few fans will deny the capabilities of Corey Anderson, Colin de Grandhomme, Jimmy Neesham and Mitchell Santner as New Zealand endeavour to progress beyond pool play for a fourth time in the tournament’s eighth edition.

In 11 ODIs this year, New Zealand have won seven and lost four using XIs containing three or more recognised all-rounders.

At least one of that quartet have delivered two or more wickets or 30 or more runs on all but three of those occasions when they struggled with the ball against South Africa.

Each can be a powerful striker or deliver handy overs, yet those qualities were absent in the final match of the tri-series against Ireland and Bangladesh in Dublin.

Bangladesh won by five wickets with 10 balls to spare; the first time they had triumphed in 17 ODIs against New Zealand away from home.

The Black Caps’ middle order betrayed the momentum created

by Tom Latham and Neil Broom’s 133-run second-wicket stand.

They went from 208 for three in the 39th over to 226 for seven in the 44th.

The New Zealand bowlers could not defend for any sustained period as a result, raising serious questions over their penetration.

It’s a case of normality resumes for the men at the French Open while the women’s draw resembles a lottery.

Nadal has dominated the clay court season winning titles in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Madrid with his one failure, a quarter-final defeat by young Austrian Dominic Thiem in Rome.

The Spaniard has lost just twice in Paris since making his French Open debut in 2005 and is back in the sort of form that saw him become the ‘king of clay’.

His main challengers will come from defending champion Novak Djokovic, 2015 winner Stan Wawrinka and a couple of the next gen stars, 20-year-old Alexander Zverev and 23-year-old Thiem.

Djokovic has started to get the old swagger back with some encouraging results in recent

weeks which culminated in him making the Rome final. He will have tennis legend Andre Agassi in the coach’s box and the eight times Grand Slam champ may give Djokovic the inspiration to rediscover the almost untouchable form of a year ago.

Wawrinka’s form has been patchy but never write off the three time Grand Slam champion on clay.

German Alexander Zverev, or Sascha as he is known, is rapidly on the way to becoming world number one. He’s just 20 and claimed the Rome Masters title with a compelling straight sets win over Djokovic. The best returner in the game couldn’t conjure up a single break point chance.

Thiem made the semi-finals in Paris last year and has shown he is just about ready to make the next step. Having played Nadal three times on the red clay this season, he would have garnered immense confidence from beating the Spaniard in Rome. However his 6-1, 6-0 defeat by Djokovic less than 24 hours later would have dented that belief somewhat.

Thiem is a prodigious talent and with a day off between

matches in Grand Slams won’t have to deal with the mental fatigue he experienced after beating Nadal in Rome.

I haven’t mentioned world number one Andy Murray as a contender, that’s because I don’t think he is. Murray has struggled since ascending to the top of men’s tennis and his form in the clay court lead in tournaments has been poor. The return to best of five sets tennis will give him hope as he’s one of the fittest guy on tour, but is still more likely to fall victim to an early upset than win the tournament.

Does former US Open champion Juan Martin de Potro count as my dark horse?

He’s endured a wretched run with injuries in recent years but has battled back to be seeded.

He showed how good he can be by beating Grigor Dimitrov and Kei Nishikori in Rome. However he is under an injury cloud with shoulder and back niggles.

If there are a handful of contenders for the men’s title, there could be as many as a dozen possible women’s champions. The absence of Serena Williams due to pregnancy and Maria Sharapova being denied a wildcard leaves a

massive void in the draw.

There’s an opportunity for someone to possibility breakthrough and win a first Grand Slam.

Defending champion Garbine Muguruza has been in fairly awful form for some time and lost in the first round in clay court tournaments in Stuttgart and Madrid.

She finally found some form reaching the semi-finals in Rome but is under an injury cloud.

Simona Halep is often talked about as a French Open champion in waiting and the 2014 runner up is the bookies favourite.

But she has a knack of losing big matches and can struggle against the big hitters like Muguruza.

Ukraine’s Elena Svitolina has to be one of the favourites after winning the Italian Open. The 22-year-old has won four titles so far this season including two on clay while world number three Karolina Pliskova has also had some strong results.

Like Murray in the men, women’s world number one Angelique Kerber is a possibility for an early exit. She doesn’t enjoy the clay and her results show.

Perhaps there’s an opportunity

for the likes of Caroline Wozniacki or Agnieska Radwanska to win a Grand Slam such is the evenness of the women’s draw.

But I prefer the prospects of 2009 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova who has been in sparkling form.

But in terms of a dark horse, I like the chances of 14th ranked Frenchwoman Kristina Mladenovic who will be inspired by the Philippe Chatrier centre court crowd.

Kiwi hopes rest with Marina Erakovic in the singles but expectations can’t be high for a player who hasn’t won a WTA tour level main draw match in 2017.

Our doubles trio of Michael Venus, Marcus Daniell and Artem Sitak are all capable of going on deep runs given favourable draw.

Storyline to look for?

Clearly the Novak DjokovicAndre Agassi partnership will dominate headlines in week one.

Does Andre really love tennis again? Can he get the best out of the Serb who completed his holy grail 12 months ago, but who has been a mere shadow of his former self for the past year.

Matt Brown will be at the French Open thanks to Emirates Airline.

Tigers’ woes created form challenges

By Steve Zemek James Tedesco has admitted a series of off-field dramas involving his NRL club Wests Tigers have left him searching for his best form this year.

The Tigers have rarely been off the back page this year following the sacking of coach Jason Taylor and their failed attempts to re-sign stars Tedesco, Aaron Woods and Mitchell Moses.

But despite Tedesco’s season being well below his 2016 standard when he won the Dally M fullback of the year award while making his Origin debut, the fullback has held off challenges from Josh Dugan and Jarryd Hayne to retain the sky blue No.1 jumper.

Tedesco walked into NSW camp in Kingscliff as a man with a weight lifted from his shoulders after earlier this month penning a multi-million dollar four-year deal with the Sydney Roosters.

He said the constant scrutiny and controversy had dented the side’s form, including his own.

“It’s been on-going throughout the start of the year and it does have an effect on all of us as a team,” Tedesco said.

www.guardianonline.co.nz

Friday, May 26, 2017

“So getting up here and getting away from it is going to be good for us as a team.”

Tedesco said he was relieved to get into camp with the Blues ahead of next week’s Origin series opener in Brisbane which had allowed him to take his mind off the constant trouble which had beset Concord this year.

“I think getting away is good and will freshen us up a bit, me and Woodsy,” Tedesco said.

“There have been a lot of dramas off the field.

“Being up here you can take a lot of confidence back to our team and we’ll need to do that to get our season going.”

Dugan also walked into the Blues camp as a man unhindered after securing his future by turning down an offer from St George Illawarra and signing with Cronulla for 2018 and beyond.

“It’s a massive weight off my shoulders and I’m just glad it’s sorted,” Dugan said.

“I’m here now with the Blues and to do the job for them.”

Asked what was the deciding factor which led to him leaving the Dragons and signing a four-year contract with the Sharks, he said: “The extra year.”

Daily Events Friday

James Tedesco won the Dally M award in 2016.

Castle stepping down Raelene Castle has resigned as chief executive of Canterbury and will leave the NRL club at the end of the season despite having one year to go on her contract.

Castle, who became the first woman to run a NRL club in 15 years when she was appointed in 2013, oversaw three finals appearances including one grand final in her time at Belmore.

“Raelene has made a signifi-

cant contribution over the last four years,” Bulldogs chairman Ray Dib said yesterday.

“She has strengthened all areas of the club and will leave us in a strong position for the new chief executive to take over.”

Castle’s resignation comes two weeks after reports of tension with Dib following an email Castle sent to rival clubs complaining about a breach in protocol by the players’ union.

Puzzles

Puzzles and horoscopes www.guardianonline.co.nz Cryptic crossword

Friday, May 26, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Once the drama stirs up, you’re sunk. If you defend yourself too well, you look guilty. If you don’t, there will be regrets.

The best defence is prevention. Don’t let conversations drift. Stay in control.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your attention is a treasured gift, but your neglect is not a terrible insult.

It’s just that you can’t focus on everyone at once. Be careful not to set up expectations you won’t want to or be able to fulfil.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It’s a good thing you have quick reflexes. Today you might have to backpedal, pull your proverbial foot out of your mouth, or jump in to save someone from sure embarrassment.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Your No. 1 task will get done.

The rest may not. Put the important stuff first.

What’s important? It’s not a trick question.

You know the answer; it’s just not the same one that another person wants you to choose.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The work will be much more pleasant when you have the right tools for the job. Do research. Getting this one right before you even start will save you time, money and headaches.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): If you’re too strict with yourself, you will surely rebel. Loosen up. Otherwise you may find yourself craving forbidden fruits (Maybe ones you didn’t know you liked!) in reaction to trying to be too perfect.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The rightness of an action makes you brave. You don’t even have to think about it. You dive in and do the necessary thing. The time to be frightened is not before or during; it’s after.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Of course no one is really better than another, but our egos have us flexing as though there’s something at stake that can be won with an air of superiority.

You’ll win by going in the opposite direction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Patience isn’t the most exciting virtue, there are many who don’t see its appeal. However, those who have patience can win the whole game just by avoiding the mistakes that impatient people make.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Complaining releases tension and perhaps gains the acknowledgement of a person who agrees...

But at a cost. Maybe tension is good if it forces you to take action instead of complain.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): When a bee stings it pays the price with its own life. Anger is not usually as costly an emotion for humans, and yet it’s still a good idea to de-escalate conflict.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Just because you’re not in step with others doesn’t mean your timing is off. Awareness is key, because you’re really good at adjusting to the pace of others when you want to. Do you want to?

Sport Lloyd makes NZ U21 side

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Kate Lloyd’s outstanding 2017 just keeps getting better.

Fresh off the back of being called in to the Mainland Tactix squad as injury cover, the 1.92-metre defender was yesterday named in the Netball New Zealand Under 21 side to travel to Botswana in July to compete at the Netball World Youth Cup. The former Ashburton College student, who is now studying at Lincoln University, was one of 12 names announced yesterday as a part of the squad who will have the added pressure of defending the world title after winning it back in 2013.

It comes off the back of another solid 12 months on the court for Lloyd who has drawn attention to herself through her hard work and determination, whether it be as part of the Tactix squad or through her involvement with the Mainland side in the Beko League.

Under-21 coach, Kiri Wells, told Netball NZ that it had been a tough selection process with all players in the squad stepping up, but the 12 selected have the edge and x-factor required.

“We’ve seen some amazing performances in the ANZ Premiership particularly,” Well said.

“The players have shown that they can stand up and that they can be tough – and we’re going to need tough.

“We’ve picked a team that gives us a lot of variety, particularly at either end of the court.

“We’ve got holding shooters, moving shooters, we’ve got defenders who can play space and play tight man, and so we can mix it up and really use our game plans to advantage.”

As three-time winners of the gold medal at the Netball World Youth Championships, the pressure will be on the New Zealand side to perform.

They won the competition in 1992, 2005 and 2013.

This year they will have the services of some of New Zealand’s most exciting netball talents, Lloyd included, featuring current Silver Ferns Maia Wilson and Kelly Jury along with a number of players who have stood up at ANZ Premiership and Beko Netball League levels.

The team departs for South Africa on July 3 where they will group for a training camp in Johannesburg before heading to Gaborone for their first match against Northern Ireland on July 8.

Their pool also consists of Sri Lanka, Scotland and Samoa.

Euro win dedicated to Manchester victims A guttural roar of “Manchester, Manchester” thundered around the Friends Arena at the fulltime whistle.

Purely in soccer terms, Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Ajax in the Europa League final yesterday was a triumph of huge significance for England’s biggest club.

On a wider level, it was also a moment to cheer for the team’s home city, grieving two thousand kilometers away.

Manchester was plunged into tragedy on Monday when 22 people were killed by a bomb attack at an Ariana Grande concert in the city center.

United’s players were clearly

moved by the events and flew to Sweden with heavy hearts, vowing to deliver a display in their biggest match of the season that would serve as a tribute to the victims and their families.

That they succeeded in doing so was a testament to their strength of character.

It made this victory, in a large-

ly forgettable match, one to remember.

“Yesterday morning, we were devastated,” said United midfielder Ander Herrera, dedicating the win to the victims.

“But the manager told us the only thing we could do was to win this for them. That’s what we’ve done.”

- AP

Thurston ruled out Star Queensland playmaker Johnathan Thurston is out of next week’s State of Origin opener. “I’m devastated I won’t be playing next week, but the call needed to be made and it’s the right decision for the team,” Thurston said. Thurston’s defection because of a shoulder injury ensures Queensland will enter unfamiliar State of Origin territory at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday night. It be the first since Thurston made his Origin debut in 2005 that Queensland will be without their champion playmaker.

Jutanugarn on a mission At this point last season, Ariya Jutanugarn was finishing up a streak of three straight LPGA Tour victories, part of a stellar year in which she won five times and took player of the year honours shortly before her 21st birthday. Her 2017 performance has again been consistently strong – but she’s still without a victory as she prepares to defend her title this week at Travis Pointe. “I’m not going to compare myself this year and last year because I think it’s different,” she said.

“I just really want to go have fun and still try to improve my game more.”

No concerns for Stokes Eoin Morgan played down concerns over Ben Stokes’ fitness after England kicked off their one-day series with a convincing 72-run defeat of South Africa at Headingley.

All-rounder Stokes, making his return to the side after his MVP-winning turn in the Indian Premier League, left the field during the second innings after experiencing pain in his left knee and, though he later returned to the field, he did not add to his two overs. Captain Morgan hit a decisive 107 to underpin his side’s winning effort.
