Band out of hibernation P3

Job seeker total jumps 20 per cent

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mel’s efforts valiant P14

The number of people out of work and looking for jobs in the Ashburton District jumped 20 per cent in the year to September 30.

Ministry of Social Development unemployment figures show the district’s job seeker numbers rose sharply for the year to September 30, up from 357 last year to 430. The district’s unemployment rate remains low, however, at 2 per cent of the working age population (approximately 21,000) compared to the national rate of 4.2 per cent.

Job seeker numbers might have risen but there is still plenty of work around says Canstaff chief executive Matt Jones.

The rise in unemployment numbers for the September quarter could probably be laid at the door of a late start to the meatworks season and a bit more

caution in the dairy sector, he said.

“There’s certainly work out there but it’s also about people not waiting until their dream job comes along. Take a job until the one you want comes along.

Don’t wait, you’re far more employable if you’re already in work.”

The dairy job market might not be as flush as it was in the past but that sector and construction were still struggling to find the right people for jobs, Jones said.

“The job opportunities in construction in particular are very, very good and not all employers are finding the people they need.”

He deals with a number of job seekers in the youth (15 to 24) age bracket and said that for some finding the work available did not match their ideal job was often a bit of a reality check.

To boost the number of apprentices in training, Canstaff has established its

IT’S ALL ABOUT LIFESTYLE & AT LOCHLEA LIFESTYLE RESORT IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!

own apprenticeship scheme with an inhouse trainer and mentor.

“We’re now investing in these young people. In the past employers have said they’ve spent a year’s worth of time and money training someone and then they’ve moved on. We’re doing this in Ashburton and Christchurch to get more young people into training.”

That unemployment had risen was not a surprise, given the double whammy of tougher times in the dairy sector and a slow start to the killing season, says mayor Donna Favel.

She’s says the district is still strong and still growing and that means the job market will continue to grow.

■ ASHBURTON TRUCK SHOW

Truck show raises $17,000

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

An astonishing $17,000 was raised by the Ashburton Truck Show earlier this year.

Members of the group who organised the show handed over the cheque to Blood Cancer and Leukaemia New Zealand business manager Annabel Lush who had travelled down from Auckland.

Rick Harkness, who originally came up with the idea, said the support from the trucking community was huge.

After Harkness’s father died of leukaemia on April 23 he decided he wanted to find a way to give back to the group that supported his father and his family throughout their experience.

So, together with Steve Keene, whose mother died battling blood cancer five years ago, and a group of four other mates put together a show.

On September 3, the day of the show, the final count was over 150 trucks which was more than a hundred over what they hoped to get.

Harkness said they weren’t quite sure how many people came to the show in the end, but it was somewhere between 6000 and 7000.

“One of the coffee vans ran out

Boxer Shane Cameron also came to the rescue as the guest speaker at the dinner on the night

of the show as Phil Kingsley Jones had to pull out for health reasons.

An auction of accommodation, a signed All Blacks jacket, boxing gloves signed by Shane Cameron and other items also managed to

raise over $6000.

Lush said they were absolutely blown away by the effort from the truck show.

“We are just so thrilled and humbled actually,” she said.

She said on the day they sent down a services support managers from Blood Cancer and Leukaemia New Zealand and they were completely amazed by the turnout on the day.

Ashburton District’s job seeker total jumps 20 per cent From P1 “I believe there’s still a good mix of jobs out there and while our (unemployment) number may have risen, it’s still low at 2 per cent.

“We’re still chugging along okay,” she said.

Nationally at the end of September there were 122,284 people receiving Jobseeker Support, up 1.1 per cent on the same time

last year. On the back of rising unemployment he district’s total number of beneficiaries rose to 1150, up almost 9 per cent on the previous year. The total number of beneficiaries, however was just

■ ALLENTON SCHOOL

Bursting at the seams

By Noah Graham

Noah.G@theGuardiaN.co.Nz

Allenton School is running out of space.

The school has a roll of 391 students and has been at full capacity since term two with the library, hall and dental clinic all used to house and teach the students.

Allenton School principal Graham Smith said the school had 16 classrooms which were as full as they could be which meant Allenton School had to use the library, dental clinic and hall for new entrant students and needed a new classroom.

According to the Ministry of Education guidelines the school was eligible for another classroom to be built when the roll was at 369.

However, Smith said the Ministry had declined their application.

They did not have the resources to provide them with another classroom, he said.

“I think they’ve run out of money.”

The Ministry decides on whether a school should have a new

classroom built is accounted for by how many new enrolments the school has had for the year and they would probably not gain approval until July next year, Smith said.

He said by the time the building had been constructed for the school they would need two or three classrooms to accommodate for the increase in enrolments.

The roll is expected to increase past 400 students for 2017 and there will be more, Smith said. “[The projected roll] is a bit light.

“Next year [the roll] will be big.”

Smith said all it would take is one person showing up with three students for the school and there would be no spaces left.

The year six and five classes were not as full as other classrooms but it was not practical for their learning to start mixing the senior classes with others.

He said using the hall, dental clinic and library were not helping the students’ studies.

“These are not conducive for a learning environment.”

Dogs used as reading aids A four-year-old Norwich Terrier is not the likeliest guest to turn up in a library but he may help children to read.

Ex-show dog Riff Raff was at the Ashburton Public Library yesterday for children to read to him to help build their confidence.

Ashburton Public Library manager and Riff Raff’s owner Jill Watson said a lot of libraries were

using dogs to encourage reading and it helped the children to gain confidence to read out loud without being criticised.

She said the days would be run for children every Tuesday from 3.30 to 4.30pm and accommodated for every level of reading.

Mother Theresa Husband, who was there with her daughter Holly and son Riley, said it was a “great idea”.

Pipe band out of hibernation

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.N@theGuardiaN.co.Nz

For 10 years Derrick Cullimore was a man of faith, faith that the Ashburton Pipe Band would pull itself out of hibernation.

And that faith has now been rewarded.

From all corners of the district, past band members have emerged, bagpipes and drums have had the cobwebs and dust of years removed and fingers long grown unaccustomed to creating music have been eased back into action.

The proof of how far the revivalist band has come will come on Saturday when the band tunes up and leads the grand parade at the Ashburton A&P Show.

Ashburton’s Scottish Society Pipe Band was once one of the strongest around the country.

It competed at a national level and its band numbers were high.

he said. “It’s been a helluva hard road for us and we always clung to the hope that this would happen.”

While the returning drummers and pipers have their own instruments, bolstering kilt stocks from Scotland hasn’t come cheaply, Cullimore said.

“We now have 12 or 13 pipers and seven drummers and a drum major.”

One of the returnees Bill Doak, says it’s been 50 years between outings. He admits he’s a bit rusty but he’s coming right with practice. Garry Green played in the Methven band and hasn’t played in a band since that folded.

Errol Stewart is carrying on the family tradition established by his great grandfather a member of the first Scottish Society band.

And drum major Cullimore can count his band history back to 1947.

Time, competing interests and other demands in their lives meant band members drifted away and instruments and kilts were put into storage.

Inevitably the band fell off the country’s pipe band radar but it wasn’t forgotten close to home.

Whether it was nostalgia or just some good old fashioned arm twisting but Cullimore has managed to revive the band.

There’s been a huge resurgence of interest he says.

Players who haven’t played for decades are back and they’re loving being part of the band again.

They’ve invested in new kilts and kit and while they’ll be making a few public outings, the revived band says it definitely won’t be entering competitions.

The pipe band 2016 style is all about having fun.

“We’ll do local festivals but we’ll be playing for enjoyment,”

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

All polished up and ship-shape for show time The silverware is polished and the grounds are taking shape for the Ashburton A&P Show.

The gates will open on the 139th annual two-day show on Friday morning and the showgrounds were a hive of activity yesterday.

Members of the show committee were installing seating and teams from a number of businesses were hard at work installing trade displays.

Early arrivals have also set up camp and are at work assembling rides in the sideshow area.

Show president Chris Watson said entries were strong this year, with increased numbers in the sheep and cattle section.

“We’ve added some new sheep classes which seem to have attracted new exhibitors and there are a lot of calf entries this year,” Watson said.

Entry numbers are also up in the home industries pavilion, boosted by a bake-off competition between local law companies Everist Gilchrist and Tavendale and Partners.

The equestrian classes are always well supported with many entrants using the show as a warm up ahead of next month’s Canterbury A&P Show.

■ MANAGED AQUIFER RECHARGE

Water project rolled out

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

A groundbreaking project that is raising groundwater levels in parts of Mid Canterbury should be rolled out across the district, its supporters say.

The Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) system, a leaky pond that allows river water to seep into an underground aquifer through man-made holes, had been shown to raise levels in nearby wells and improve water quality in the 130 days it had been op-

erating, said MAR working group chairman Peter Lowe yesterday.

There were no downsides to the pilot project and more should be constructed to help address the district’s water quality and quantity issues, he said.

Lowe, and hydrologist Bob Bower, brought members of the Ashburton Water Zone Committee up-to-date yesterday with data confirming the MAR had been a success. They asked the committee to support the project for another five years and rec-

ommended a MAR governance group be formed to progress MAR throughout Mid Canterbury.

More than a million cubic metres of water had been put into the basin since June, one-third of the amount that would be diverted in the first year of operation. One well near the MAR had already risen by 18 metres and nitrate-nitrogen concentration levels had reduced in several close wells being monitored.

The water is already consented for abstraction and comes from

the Rangitata River.

As the freshwater plume penetrated further, the working group expects to see improvements in drains towards the coast.

For the first time in New Zealand, scientists are also tracking nitrate-nitrogens in the groundwater and say these were lower than had been influenced so far.

They hope the freshwater plume will soon reduce levels in the Tinwald area, which are known to be high.

Lowe said the MAR project had

been a success, based on results so far. “The results exceed expectations, that is very, very clear.”

It was critically important the trial continued, he said.

The committee agree, and will write to pilot partners including the Ashburton District Council and Environment Canterbury recommending it continue for the five years it had consent to run.

More funding may be available from a Ministry of Primary Industries freshwater fund.

Stock up for Toot for Tucker Preparations for this year’s Toot for Tucker drive are well underway.

The annual voluntary community appeal will be held on Monday, November 28, hitting out from the Ashburton racecourse at 6pm.

Led by the Ashburton County Lions, the appeal aims to top up the community food banks operated by the Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul.

A convoy of tooting vehicles supported by a small army of volunteers will swarm the Ashburton township seeking nonperishable food items to fill the hampers the charities distribute to families facing a lean Christmas.

For the past decade real estate firm Property Brokers has assisted the Lions by providing support, advertising and plastic bags.

Many local clubs including the scouts, guides, and cadets join forces with businesses and other organisations to lend a hand.

This year students and staff from Chertsey and Fairton schools have thrown their weight behind the cause.

Over its 30 year history Ashburton County Lions has raised money and supported many groups in the local community, including a one-off Toot for Tucker in the days immediately following the February earthquake.

Last year the service group donated funds in excess of $20,000, $12,000 of Ashburton County Lions members Barbara Borland and Moira Whiting amidst last year’s PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN which was distributed in Mid Canterbury. record Toot for Tucker haul.

In brief Explosion burns man A man suffered burns to his face following an oil explosion at a business in Northland. Police were called to Little River Transport in Dargaville on Sunday after an oil tank exploded, injuring a 73-yearold man. The man suffered burns to his face and was transported to Whangarei Hospital. Police said WorkSafe would be investigating, however when WorkSafe was contacted on Sunday it had not yet been notified about the incident. The owner of Little River Transport did not wish to comment. A witness said he had heard a “really loud” explosion and soon after fire, ambulance and police were all there. -NZME

Crash claims life A man has died after driving off an embankment in a rural town 45km southwest of Auckland central yesterday. Emergency services were called to the site of the crash, involving a single vehicle. The sole male occupant died at the scene. There were no other vehicles involved. The police spokeswoman said the Serious Crash Unit attended the scene.

Because the fatality occurred outside of the official holiday period it didn’t add to the Labour weekend road toll which stands at three.

ASHBURTON NBS are delighted to announce the appointment of Rod Fox as the new Branch Manager at NBS Ashburton, New Zealand’s oldest building society.

Although only a relative newcomer to the Ashburton banking scene, celebrating 4 years here in August, NBS has a long tradition of employing people suited to the needs of the people it serves and in employing Rod Fox, this will continue.

“Rod is a very experienced banker with over 40 years spent in the banking and financial services industry, both in provincial New Zealand and overseas, that has given him the ability to work with clients and communities with mutual benefit in mind. That resonates with us at NBS as we are all about mutual benefit. After all, that is why we exist – to serve the people that own us – our members.” So says Ken Beams, General Manager.

“We see this move as being very special for Ashburton as it will bring further emphasis to our community involvement through helping people into homes and in offering good deposit rates, whether that be for savings accounts or term deposit accounts. We are also keen to help out in other areas such as day to day banking, personal loans, Kiwi Saver, managed funds, and a range of Insurances. Actually, NBS does almost everything the big banks do but without sending the profits overseas – we keep ours here in the South Island in the communities they belong to.”

New to the role, Rod has had little time to get his feet under the desk as he has been out and about meeting locals and finding his way around. “What an absolutely lovely town and people. So very friendly and welcoming. After 3 years in the Cook Islands amongst those wonderful people, I did have doubts about coming back to New Zealand at the end of my contract.

However, all my fears – well, all except the ones about the cold – have been allayed. I am looking forward to working with the people here and helping them and the community prosper.”

Should you be looking to change your banking arrangements, considering a first, second or investment property, or even just a personal loan to get away for a winter break or a new car, go in and see Rod and the team at NBS 324 East Street, Ashburton or phone them on 307 7380.

Restrictions on migrant residency will hurt the nation’s growing economy by keeping out skilled workers employers need, immigration experts say.

Government restrictions were made with good intentions but with a lack of understanding about the impact on business, New Zealand Association for Migration and Investment chairwoman June Ranson says.

Among the changes announced by Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse earlier this month were an increase in the skilled migrant points threshold from 140 to 160, which Business NZ welcomed for its potential to sharpen the annual intake toward higher skilled workers.

But Ms Ranson fears employers will struggle to find tradespeople because the new laws fail to recognise people without university degrees can still be highly skilled based on work or business experience.

“These changes are a political knee-jerk reaction, with little thought given to the growth of New Zealand and the needs of business,” she said, calling for an urgent review and discussions with business and migration experts.

Last week Tourism Industry Aotearoa said raising the points threshold from 140

Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse to 160 was worsening the skills shortage, revealing 90 per cent of chefs approved for work visas last year would miss out under the new rules.

“Where are these essential workers supposed to come from? There simply isn’t an adequate supply in many parts of the country,” chief executive Chris Roberts said.

Accused wanted rid of neighbours Having tried for months to get his noisy neighbours thrown out of their house, Auckland man Dustin La Mont grabbed a knife and walked towards next door. Minutes later one man was dead and another was fighting for his life, prosecutors said.

La Mont, 25, is accused of murdering 24year Nathan Matai Pukeroa outside a house in suburban Mount Albert in the early hours of December 3 and grievously wounding Mr Pukeroa’s friend, Devaray-Junior Cole-Kurvaji, in the same attack.

Opening the prosecution case at the High Court at Auckland yesterday, lawyer Steve Hazard told the jury La Mont had spent months recording video of his neighbours, checking the licence plates of the cars visiting their home and complaining to police in a bid to get them thrown out.

Mr Hazard said the residents and visitors at No 21 Renton Road were “far from angels”, with Mongrel Mob members frequenting the house, selling P there, committing crimes and frequently partying in the middle of the week with no regard for their neighbours.

La Mont had taken to social media to swear about his neighbour, he said.

“Rarely have I been provoked to go on a murderous rampage,” he said quoting

La Mont’s tweeting.

The night of the killing he sent out a long series of angry messages complaining about yet another mid-week party, then grabbed a blade and walked out onto the road in a rage, Mr Hazard said.

At about midnight, Mr Pukeroa and Mr Cole-Kurvaji followed La Mont out onto the road after seeing him peering down the driveway of No. 21 while passing.

Mr Pukeroa was visiting the house for a few days and Mr Cole-Kurvaji had only arrived for the first time six hours prior, Mr Hazard said.

In the confrontation that followed on the street, La Mont plunged the short blade into each man’s neck in two quick strikes.

The knife went to the hilt into Mr Pukeroa’s throat, killing him almost instantly at the scene, while the second strike went up to 10cm into Mr Cole-Kurvaji’s neck, but had luckily missed his jugular, Mr Hazard said.

The defence was to make its opening statement late yesterday.

Mr Hazard said La Mont had told police he was defending himself from Mr Pukeroa and Mr Cole-Kurvaji.

A jury of four women and eight men has been selected for the trial.

Cannabis grower convicted A Westport man whose cannabis grow room went up in smoke when his Russell St home burnt down earlier this month has been convicted of cultivating cannabis.

Ian James Moss, 52, appeared in the Westport District Court last week where he admitted cultivating cannabis.

Police prosecutor Don Abbey said Moss was at his rented home at about 5.30pm on October 17 when the fire broke out.

Moss claimed it began when he was distracted and left a pot of food cooking on the fire unattended.

While firemen worked to extinguish the blaze, they located a cannabis grow room

and alerted police, Abbey said.

At the time, Moss said the cannabis was for personal use only.

Judge Robert Murfitt asked Moss how long he’d been using cannabis. Moss replied he’d smoked for 40 years - since he was 13 years old.

Judge Murfitt described the fashion in which Moss lost his crop as “dramatic”.

He also noted Moss hadn’t had a conviction since 2001.

Because of that, he felt a “modest” community work sentence was appropriate, he said.

He convicted Moss and sentenced him to 60 hours’ community work.

No holiday for rescuers Search and rescue teams had no time for rest over the holiday weekend as a number of trampers in trouble triggered distress beacons - including a mother and two sons forced to spend a night out in the open.

Rescuers said fortunately the rescued people had safety beacons, which had not just saved time, but likely lives.

Rescue Co-ordination Centre search and rescue mission coordinator Tracy Brickles said a beacon was a life-saving piece of equipment that everyone should bring.

“A beacon should be a standard piece of equipment if you are going off the beaten track regularly, and hiring a beacon can be done relatively cheaply by those venturing out less frequently.”

On Friday evening a mother activated her distress beacon after her two sons, 10 and 12, became exhausted in cold wet conditions in the Tararuas.

The trio had been on the walk from Kaitoke to Alpha Hut track and were forced to spend their night on the track as neither the Westpac Rescue Helicopter nor a police search and rescue team could get to them because of the weather.

They were rescued at 8am on Saturday.

As light began to fail, the group had become disorientated in the low cloud. They were found by the Aoraki Mt Cook Alpine Cliff Rescue Team and flown to Chancellor hut, from where they planned to continue their tour.

Yesterday morning, a farm worker was rescued after he activated his distress beacon when he fell from a horse and dislocated his shoulder.

Bickles said it was also important to register beacons as it could save time and prevent rescue crews from going out to false alarms.

Reoffending reduction targets not met The Government appears certain to miss its target of cutting reoffending in New Zealand by next year.

The target of a 25 per cent reduction in recidivism by mid2017 was set in 2012 and is one of the Government’s top priorities for the public sector.

The Corrections Department’s annual report, released on Friday, showed that reoffending had been cut by just 5.6 per cent from a 2011 baseline.

Corrections Minister Judith Collins said that while any reduction in reoffending was “good

news”, it was disappointing that progress towards the key target had slowed.

She said the trend had been caused by a smaller, hard-core group of criminals.

“It is important to note that the number of offenders who re-offend has been declining over the past five years, with almost 25 per cent fewer re-offenders in the system than in 2011.

“But while overall numbers of offenders entering the Corrections system has been reducing, those that are under sentence are more recidivist and higher-risk.”

VAL O M E WAX R

The Corrections Department conceded the target was unlikely to be reached. It blamed the rise in reoffending on factors which were outside of its control.

“The factors identified are the rates of prosecution and conviction, the types of sentences imposed and court disposal times.”

After the target was created in 2012, reoffending fell by 12 per cent over the next two years. However, the trend reversed in mid2014 and has been rising since.

Salvation Army social policy director Ian Hutson said the latest results pointed to a clear failure of

the Government’s prisoner rehabilitation model.

He said many prisoners continued to face unemployment or homelessness after their release.

The Government needed to fund NGOs and iwi with more funding to support former inmates “for months and perhaps years” after their release, Hutson said.

Collins last week confirmed that 1800 beds would be added to the prison system in response to a booming prison population.

The estimated cost of expanding and managing the prison network was $2.5 billion.

Coastal effects of climate change basis of new study Kiwi scientists are simulating how New Zealand’s coastal environment will respond to potentially disastrous effects of acidification caused by climate change.

The new study aims to pinpoint a possible tipping point at which ecosystems could collapse - potentially threatening our aquaculture industry.

Ocean acidification is increasingly concerning scientists because of the global threat it poses to coral communities and shellfish aquaculture.

It’s driven by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is absorbed by oceans and causes pH levels to drop and waters to become more acidic.

Scientists are particularly worried about the survival of organisms that have shells composed of calcium carbonate, ranging from corals to shellfish, as it becomes more difficult to grow and maintain in a more acidic ocean.

In a new study, the first of its kind in the world, New Zealand researchers will test how microbes in near-shore sediments respond to pH levels simulated to reflect those projected in 50 years’ time.

Waikato University microbiologist Professor Craig Cary said little was known about how microbial communities would handle more acidic waters, despite their critical function in regenerating the nutrients that sustain food webs many marine species rely on.

But major changes had the potential to significantly affect productivity of wild fisheries and aquaculture.

Combining lab experiments, DNA analysis and field sampling, the team will investigate whether microbial systems can adapt to lower pH levels or whether there’s a tipping point where they will fail.

Cary said the findings would also be valuable to many other countries, as the effects of ocean acidification would impact the entire planet.

The study, also being carried out by Auckland University of Technology marine scientist Dr Kay Vopel and Professor Conrad Pilditch and Charles Lee of Waikato University, is funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

All Blacks juggernaut rolls on James Ford

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

F

ollowing a turbulent period for New Zealand Rugby off the paddock, the All Blacks did what they have a remarkable habit of doing on Saturday evening at Eden Park.

They won, and, in doing so, broke another record after recording their eighteenth successive test win.

It seems that the All Blacks’ thirst for success will never be quenched.

Whatever criticism comes rugby’s way off the field of play, the All Blacks continue to set the highest of standards on it, not only in rugby, but in the world of sport.

Since arriving in New Zealand six years ago, I have watched the All Blacks lift the Webb Ellis Cup at Eden Park in 2011 before becoming the first country to win consecutive world cups in my native England last year.

There were concerns, in some uneducated corners, that the All Blacks may falter after the likes of McCaw, Carter, Nonu and Smith, among others, bid the black jersey adieu.

It didn’t happen, and, somehow, the All Blacks continue to patrol the world of sport setting record, by record along the way.

As an avid follower of sport, New Zealand’s triumphs led me to question my home country’s lack of success.

While the All Blacks continue to raise the bar in New Zealand’s national sport, England were dumped out of football’s Euros by minnows Iceland in their national game.

And let’s not even mention England’s performances at the 2015 Rugby World Cup. It’s an uncomfortable trend, for an Englishman, anyway, that never seems to change.

But why?

Having covered sport at all levels in New Zealand, and covered sport in England, I am in a fairly unique position of having witnessed the difference from grass roots sport upwards in both countries.

The difference is not necessarily what happens on the field of play, but off it.

English sport is a world of big money, in which young men and women, particularly Premier League footballers, can command salaries we can only dream of.

In contrast, in my experience, young New Zealand sports people are driven by reaching the highest echelons of their chosen sport.

It seems a desire to be the best has been replaced by the desire to line pockets in the motherland.

While it’s something for the money men in England to mull over, it’s something Kiwis can be very proud of.

This adopted New Zealander is, anyway!

Blast shatters buildings A powerful explosion has shattered buildings in the Chinese city of Yulin, killing seven people and trapping others under debris.

There are reports of a large crater where a two-storey building once stood, and images show widespread damage, with rubble in the streets.

The blast happened near a hospital.

Local reports suggest the unlicensed storage of explosives at a building might be to blame.

It appears the hospital was damaged in the explosion, which also injured at least 94 people.

State-run news agency Xinhua reports that more than 70 firefighters were sent to the area, where several people were trapped, and rescue attempts are under way.

Xinhua, citing local authorities, said 10 people had died and 157 were injured during the incident.

Industrial accidents are common in China, where safely regulations are often flouted.

Next movie revealed Sir Peter Jackson has finally confirmed his first post-Hobbit film - and it’s an adaptation of another book. Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens will co-write Mortal Engines, a sci-fi novel series by Philip Reeve, Variety reported.

However, Jackson will not direct the film.

That task has been given to first-timer Christian Rivers, a long-time collaborator of Jackson’s. “The combination of emotion and jaw-dropping visuals in Mortal Engines makes this the perfect movie for his move into feature directing,” Jackson told Variety. “What Christian intends to do is going to result in an original and spectacular movie.”

The blast, which occurred in Yulin, China, was blamed on stored explosives and left a large crater where a two storey building once stood.

Man shot dead in Sydney drive-by shooting

Police trainees killed in suicide bomb attack

A man in his 20s has been shot dead in a suspected drive-by attack on a suburban street at Georges Hall in Sydney’s southwest.

A NSW Ambulance spokesman said they responded to reports of a shooting at Stuart Avenue at 9.20am yesterday.

It is understood the man was found by a neighbour lying in the driveway suffering mutiple gunshot wounds. There are reports he had also been shot in the head.

A crime scene has been established and police from the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad are involved in the investigation.

An employee of a nearby shop, Robert, said he heard eight to 10 shots and ran outside to see a car speed from the location.

“We heard the shots going off and walked out and saw I’m pretty sure a black Mercedes fly up the road,” he said.

Police have since confirmed the vehicle was a black Ausi sedan.

Robert said it sounded like more than one gun was used in the shooting.

“It sounded like there were six (shots) from one gun and then I heard another shot that sounded like it came from another gun,” he said.

Gunmen stormed a police training centre yesterday in Pakistan’s restive Baluchistan province and detonated explosive vests, killing at least 41 police trainees, authorities said.

Baluchistan’s top health official, Noor Haq Baloch, said at least 106 people were wounded – mostly police trainees and some paramilitary troops.

Major General Sher Afgan, chief of the paramilitary Frontier Corps, told reporters that the attackers appeared to be in contact with handlers in Afghanistan.

He said the attacker belonged to the banned Lashker-e-Jhangvi group, an Islamic militant group

BUFFET EVERY SUNDAY

affiliated with al-Qaeda.

Haq said many of the trainees were killed when the gunmen detonated explosive vests.

Baluchistan Home Minister Sarfaraz Bugti said one of the attackers was killed by security forces and two detonated their explosive vests. He said security forces have completed their operation but were still engaged in the cleanup process.

Bugti said at the time of attack about 700 trainees were at the base.

In the attack, between four and six gunmen opened fire as they attacked the hostel in a suburban area in the provincial capital of Quetta. - AP

■ UDC FINANCE

UDC for sale – Standard & Poors ANZ-owned finance company UDC Finance could be sold within the year, ratings agency Standard and Poor’s said.

S&P said it had lowered its ratings on the 75-year-old company based on its reduced importance to the ANZ group. It also said the ratings remained on creditwatch negative.

“In our view, UDC’s strategic importance to its ultimate owner, ANZ, has significantly weakened as we now believe that the finance company may be sold by the parent within one year,” S&P said.

“Consequently, we no longer equalise our ratings on UDC with those on its parent.”

S&P said however that it belived that ANZ would still support UDC in periods of distress.

The agency lowered its long-term issuer credit rating on UDC to A-

from AA- and the short-term issuer credit rating to A-2 from A-1+.

“The A-/A-’ ratings on UDC remain on CreditWatch with negative implications, reflecting a one-intwo chance that we will lower our ratings on UDC within one year,” it said.

S&P said it not longer saw UDC’s business an integral part of the ANZ group strategy.

“In addition, we also no longer consider that UDC’s business is integrated with the ANZ group to such an extent that it would be improbable to sever the subsidiary from the group,” it said.

“In our assessment, we have also taken into account a recent shift in the strategic focus of banking conglomerates in Australia and New Zealand – including the ANZ group – to rationalise their business mix,”

Fonterra units steady after arrests Fonterra’s share price was unaffected by the news from Shanghai that 19 people had been arrested for selling around 300 tonnes of the company’s expired milk powder.

In the first hour of trading, units in the Fonterra Shareholders Fund were trading at $5.90, unchanged from Friday’s close.

“The market seems pretty relaxed about it,” Mark Lister, head of private wealth research at Craigs Investment Partners said.

“There has been zero market reaction.”

The Shanghai Daily earlier reported that the suspects were allegedly managing a company, which was packaging expired products of Fonterra - one of the most popular brands in China into smaller packages for resale

below market prices.

Fonterra spokeswoman Maree Wilson said none of the people arrested were Fonterra employees, contractors or were associated with the company.

ASB Bank rural economist Nathan Penny said the incident showed that Chinese authorities were continuing to tighten the rules around food safety.

“The Chinese authorities are acting quickly to clean this issue up,” Penny said.

“They are obviously looking to regulate food safety a lot tighter in China and, in a way, this is a good sign that they are acting on their promise to improve things at their end,” he said.

Penny said China was increasingly sensitive to consumers’ concerns about food safety.

On the information available, he said he doubted the would be something that Fontera would to be held to account over.

Kelvin Wickham, who leads the sales and marketing of all Fonterra ingredients globally, said the company had rules for on-selling, but they only went so far.

“As far as we’re aware, our reseller’s done everything we’d normally ask them to do in terms of precautions and ensuring the product isn’t used incorrectly,” Wickham told RNZ. “Clearly it’s ended up somewhere in the supply chain where it’s become aged, beyond the bestbefore date, and someone’s decided to criminally try and profit off that expired product,” he said.

China is Fonterra’s biggest market.

it said.

S&P noted that ANZ group has had a long-standing history of providing funding support to UDC in the form of a committed credit facility for $800 million.

A high number of UDC customers share other banking relationships with ANZ in New Zealand.

“And as such, we believe incentives exist for the broader group to support the subsidiary during this transition,” it said.

UDC Finance has been involved in providing finance for the transport, forestry, agriculture and manufacturing sectors for several decades.

In 1980 ANZ bought 100 per cent of UDC, resulting in UDC Finance becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ANZ Bank New Zealand.

IRD picks a fight with farmers The Inland Revenue Department appears to be buying a fight with farmers and their tax advisers as it seeks to change a rule that has been in force for more than 50 years.

Polson Higgs tax partner Michael Turner said most would not see an incentive to change something that has worked well for the last 50 years.

“However, the IRD, after prescribing the practice for farmers’ farmhouse expenses since the 1960s, has decided in 2016 to rewrite the rules on the tax deductibility of these costs.”

The IRD had issued a draft interpretation on how some costs relating to the farmhouse, such as rates, insurance and repairs and maintenance, should now be treated, he said.

The proposals included automatically reducing the percentage of farmhouse costs that are

treated as part of a business from 25 to 15 per cent.

When farmhouse costs were in excess of 20 per cent of total farm costs, the farmer would need to establish their own percentage.

The inference was it would be less than 15 per cent, Mr Turner said.

Business people often had offices at home and they could claim a percentage of their house expenses as office costs.

However, farmers typically worked from their house for meetings with professional advisers, working on their budgets, feeding workers or even mixing lamb formula during lambing season.

“A lot happens in the home for farmers. You feed your bank manager at the kitchen table, or talk to them in the lounge. Even workers wanting to go to the loo have to use the bathroom.

“And IRD has also slipped in a change from farmers able to claim 100 per cent of home phone to 50 per cent – talking about having a go at a sector when they are down.”

According to the IRD’s existing rules, interest and rates are assigned to the farm only and farmers can claim 25 per cent of house expenses as tax-deductible.

Rates would need to be apportioned to the farmhouse if the proposals were adopted.

The change to 15 per cent from 25 per cent was not a significant one regarding money but it was a significant change to a rule that had lasted more than 50 years, Mr Turner said.

“We are not convinced the department’s new suggested percentages has any more science behind it than the accepted practice for the last 50 years.

■ MOTOR RACING

Paddon eyes second Hayden Paddon is banking on a strong finish to the World Rally Championship, boosted by his favoured gravel surface in both Wales and Australia.

Fourth-placed Paddon and co-driver John Kennard say the gravel and forest roads which predominate at this week’s Wales Rally GB are similar to New Zealand’s.

Conditions in the final round at Rally Australia three weeks later will also be familiar.

A strong performance at both events could potentially lift Hyundai driver Paddon to second overall in the drivers standings behind Frenchman Sebastien Ogier, who has already clinched a third straight world title.

“Traditionally it’s always a wet, muddy rally, but this year – being run a little earlier than usual – could be a little different,” said Paddon, who has contested the Welsh event five times previously.

“We want to be challenging near the front again.

“This is a rally I have always enjoyed, but we have never been able to put together a good result here.”

The 22-stage rally covers more than 330km in northern and central Wales.

The first day on Friday will be pivotal, with 178km covered.

For Nico Rosberg the task is straightforward. It does not require him adding to his nine Formula One victories this season. He just needs to finish second twice and third once. The German insists he is still racing for wins but the temptation to play it safe must come in. Lewis Hamilton’s situation is more complicated. If he wins all the three remaining races, a very tall order, then he needs Rosberg to finish one fourth or lower, or two of them in third. Toto Wolff, the team boss, has said they have no plans to relax team rules even now both championships have been secured.

■ BOXING

Valiant effort lauded

Mundine re-match on The much-hyped boxing rematch between Anthony Mundine and Danny Green will be held in Adelaide on Friday, February 3. It was confirmed at a press conference yesterday the fight will go ahead at a catchweight of 83kg. Mundine, 41, won a 12-round decision over Green at Sydney’s Aussie Stadium in 2006 before a crowd of 28,000 that generated multimillion-dollar paydays for both. Mundine hasn’t fought since he suffered a TKO loss to American Charles Hatley in November last year.

shburton boxer Mel McGlynn pitted herself against some of the country’s finest female boxers at the North Island Golden Gloves in Taupo last weekend.

The 31-year-old, who was well aware of the step up in class before heading north, fought twice – earning a split decision victory before losing out via split decision in the final of her 64kg female open elite category.

McGlynn took on Rangi Hetet in her first fight and held her nerve to earn the decision.

McGlynn showed plenty of ring nous in the second and third rounds of the scheduled four, two-minute round bout, outscoring Hetet and working her jab well to take control of the contest.

McGlynn then met Troy Garton in the final.

Garton had sent a clear message of her intentions after beating reigning national champion Fa’asu Loia in her opening fight.

McGlynn enjoyed spells of success against Garton, but coach Jon Leath conceded his fighter was narrowly beaten on the night, despite a valiant effort.

Klitschko injured Former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has suffered an injury and will not fight IBF titleholder Anthony Joshua in December. Klitschko had been trying to retain the IBF and WBA title before the end of the year, but the Ukrainian has injured his calf. Both camps were awaiting notification from the WBA on whether it would sanction a fight after Tyson Fury vacated the title due to mental health problems. It’s thought the fight will be rescheduled for early next year.

In brief Unlikely draw secured The Mid Canterbury team have managed to escape with a draw after they travelled to Nelson for the Hawke Cup warm-up match against Nelson in the weekend.

Nelson were sent into bat and were skittled for 111 in the 47th over with Deon Biggs taking four wickets for 33. However, Ryan Cockburn was the only Mid Canterbury batsman to show resistance with his 30 run contribution. Hayden Sinclair then spearheaded the Mid Canterbury attack with four wickets for 17 and had Nelson 150/8 before they declared. Mid Canterbury needed 178 runs to win but they were reduced to 77 for nine. Mid Canterbury held on to their last wicket and survive for the draw.

■ CRICKET

Stokes stars for England

Kohli tops NZ hit list Stopping brilliant Indian batsman Virat Kohli is highest on New Zealand’s priority list as they plot how to stay alive in the five-match one-day international series.

The Black Caps trail 2-1 following the seven-wicket loss in Mohali on Monday, a game dominated by Kohli’s majestic 154 not out.

The 27-year-old’s 26th ODI century stole the game from the Black Caps, who held the upper hand early in India’s chase for 286.

Kohli offered one early chance which was spilled by Ross Taylor

off Matt Henry’s bowling, but otherwise relentlessly plundered the attack.

Seamer Henry says rather than get downcast about Kohli’s undoubted ability, the Black Caps have put their heads together to find a way to dismiss the matchwinner in game four in Ranchi tonight.

“You’ve got to try different things with him,” Henry said.

“The way he went about his business was quite impressive.

“We threw a lot at him and he kept coming back at us.

“It’s obviously a big challenge but we’ve identified a few things

we want to work on in this next game and hopefully we can get him nice and early.”

Henry says the Black Caps’ tactical meetings have had an extra edge throughout the tour in which they lost the Test series 3-0 and have stuttered though the ODIs. The range of pitch conditions had surprised him, requiring different techniques with bat and ball from game to game.

“It’s challenged us in lots of different ways.

“We’ve had to try things you probably don’t have to try at home,” Henry said.

“Skill-wise it’s been good and will probably be good for us in the long run.”

Meanwhile, Henry was more upbeat about his batting after scoring an unbeaten 39 in an 84run stand with Jimmy Neesham (57), a New Zealand ODI record for the ninth wicket.

It was a continuation of some solid batting for his English county Worcestershire.

“It was nice to contribute.

“We do work hard in the lower order, it’s usually just to chip in and put the icing on the cake at the back end of the innings.”

White Ferns crush Proteas in one-day series The White Ferns have wrapped up their historic first bilateral tour of South Africa with a resounding 126-run victory against the Proteas Women in Paarl yesterday to dominate the One-Day International Series 5-2.

After breaking through with a maiden ODI half century in the previous match, Katey Martin again top-scored with an impressive 81 off 72 deliveries to solidify the White Ferns’ total of 273 for seven, after captain Suzie Bates had jumped at batting first on a stifling, 29-degree Paarl morning.

Less is more when it comes to international cricket, according to Shane Watson, who believes Australia’s top players would be happy to take a pay cut if it meant a less arduous schedule. The Australian team’s upcoming workload has drawn plenty of criticism, mainly because of a Twenty20 against Sri Lanka in Adelaide scheduled the day before the Test side plays in India.

“Whatever works to make sure that the product being produced is the most premium product,” Watson told News Corp Australia when asked if he believed players would consider a pay cut.

- AAP

An uncharacteristically errorridden start from the South Africans allowed the New Zealand top order to ease into its work and, despite neither opener Rachel Priest nor Suzie Bates capitalising on their starts, first drop Amy Satterthwaite (53) and Martin, whose career-best effort included 10 hard-hit fours, quickly settled things down to chalk up the New Zealand 100 by the 25th over.

After a brilliant Dané van Niekerk catch off Suné Luus managed to stop Satterthwaite shortly after she had posted her 14th ODI half century, Martin carried on

to form an 81-run fourth-wicket stand with Maddy Green (46), a runout ultimately depriving Green of what would have been a maiden half century.

Martin, meanwhile, would go on to earn her second player of the match award on the trot.

South Africa’s leading assault weapon, the fierce right-armer Ayabonga Khaka, eventually got herself into the match with the wickets of both Martin and Sam Curtis, before Erin Bermingham blasted the first six of the match as the Ferns finished off with their highest tally on tour.

- NZME

England captain Alastair Cook has hailed Christchurch-born Ben Stokes as a once in a generation cricketer after the all-rounder bowled England to victory in the first Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong. Cook’s side went into the final morning needing two Bangladesh wickets for a seriesopening win but knowing that the hosts were only 33 runs away from what would have been a historic upset. But Stokes secured the win by having both Taijul Islam and Shafiul Islam trapped lbw in the space of three balls.

Pattinson set to fire Fiery Victorian quick James Pattinson is ready to make his return to cricket early next month after missing most of this year through injury. Pattinson hasn’t played a first-class match since February after he suffered a bone stress injury in his leg and then a relapse of stress fractures in his back. The 26-year-old said he was eyeing a grade-cricket comeback in early November, with a potential start in the Renegades’ T20 Big Bash campaign and possibly a Sheffield Shield game. “I’m off my long run next week,” he said.

Siddle adds to puzzle

Katey Martin

Victoria paceman Peter Siddle is primed for a Test recall, with Bushrangers coach Andrew McDonald saying he is in “fantastic form” heading into their clash with Tasmania at the MCG. The 31-year-old wasn’t expected to be fit for the day-night Shield match let alone next week’s test against South Africa after suffering a stress fracture in his back in February.

But the 61-Test veteran looked sharp in last week’s one-day cup and McDonald believes he is ready for the international arena. - AAP

New-look Maori squad Hawke’s Bay hooker Ash Dixon has replaced Charlie Ngatai as captain of a new-look Maori All Blacks squad for their threematch tour in November.

Five of the six uncapped players are forwards, along with Tasman halfback Billy Guyton, for the tour which opens next week against the United States in Chicago.

The other new faces are Wellington hooker Leni Apisai, Northland flanker Kara Pryor, Canterbury flanker Reed Prinsep, Taranaki lock Leighton Price and Waikato lock/flanker Whetu Douglas.

Two All Blacks are in the 26man squad.

Halfback Brad Weber played a test off the bench against Samoa last year while prop Kane Hames did the same against Australia in Sydney two months ago.

A notable selection is that of former Crusaders and Hurricanes midfield back Tim Bateman, 29, who hasn’t played in New Zealand since taking up a Japanese contract two years ago.

Dixon takes over as skipper from Taranaki and Chiefs midfield back Ngatai, who is still recovering from concussion suffered late in the Super Rugby season.

The Chicago game falls one day before the All Blacks face Ireland in the same city.

The Maori side then travel to

Limerick to face Irish club Munster on November 11 before concluding the tour against English club Harlequins in London.

Itoje injury a blow for Eddie Jones England boss Eddie Jones has suffered another crushing injury setback after European player of the year Maro Itoje was ruled out of this season’s autumn internationals.

Itoje’s name has been added to an alarming casualty count that will test England’s resources.

Jones names his squad overnight for Twickenham appointments with South Africa, Fiji, Argentina and Australia on successive weekends – and 21-yearold lock Itoje is set to be the most significant absentee.

Itoje’s club Saracens confirmed the injury – a broken right hand – which happened during Saturday’s European Champions Cup victory over the Scarlets at Allianz Park.

Saracens say that he requires surgery and will be sidelined for six weeks.

The club’s rugby director Mark McCall said: “For any team to lose a player of the ability of Maro is a blow, and he will be missed through the autumn for both Saracens and England.

“What’s now important for Maro is his recovery, and we look forward to his return later this season.”

Jones has already lost the likes of Itoje’s Saracens and England second-row partner George Kruis, who has an ankle injury, in addition to players like James

Maro Itoje has been one of England’s trump cards and will be sorely missed.

Haskell (foot), Anthony Watson (fractured jaw) and Jack Clifford (ankle).

Itoje was replaced in the 46th minute of Saracens’ 44-26 success against the Scarlets after his arm was trapped awkwardly while making a tackle.

And of all the injury blows Jones has been dealt, Itoje’s loss is arguably the most damaging, given the rapid strides he has made to world-class status in a remarkably short space of time, starring for England and Saracens.

Itoje helped England to the Six Nations title and Grand Slam glory last season in his debut campaign of international rugby, then started all three games when Jones’ team claimed a memorable 3-0 Test series whitewash against Australia Down Under.

And he was a hugely-influential figure during Saracens’ march to winning the European Champions Cup and retaining the Aviva Premiership title last term.

With Itoje and Kruis out of action, it looks as if Jones will now

turn to seasoned campaigners Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes as his second-row partnership for the Springboks clash on November 12.

Itoje had also been talked about as an openside flanker option for Jones, with Haskell and other candidates like Leicester’s Mike Williams and Wasps’ Sam Jones all injured.

But the Australian will have to look elsewhere as England aim to extend their nine-match unbeaten run under Jones.

Hansen happy to have Maori back-up The presence of the touring New Zealand Maori will give the All Blacks the opportunity to shuffle their decks in next month’s northern campaign.

The world champions will take in Chicago, Rome, Dublin and Paris on the whirlwind four-week tour, as they look to complete a perfect 2016 season.

New Zealand Maori, meanwhile, will take on USA in Chicago the day before the All Blacks play Ireland, and then clash with Munster and Harlequins in Europe.

All Blacks boss Steve Hansen told reporters his 36-man squad was selected with one eye on their Maori counterparts, who are able to provide cover.

This is particularly the case in the front row, where only five props have been selected, and in the decision to choose eight loose forwards.

Chiefs tighthead Kane Hames, who debuted against Australia in August, will travel with New Zealand Maori and be called over to the All Blacks if required.

“With any selection, you’ve got to get it right,” Hansen said.

“But when there’s another team touring that allows you to shuffle the deck a little differently, we’ll take that opportunity.”

The decision to take eight loose forwards benefits Matt Todd in particular after the Crusaders gun impressed at openside against the Springboks and Wallabies.

Todd, 28, was omitted from his side’s June series against Wales but has used incumbent Sam Cane’s injury to push for a starting berth in the Rugby Championship.

The flanker caused multiple problems for the Wallabies in Saturday’s third Bledisloe with his strength at the breakdown, and also made 16 tackles.

Hansen said the six-cap Todd, who received a standing ovation upon his substitution, had been unlucky to not have a larger squad role in the past.

“He’s a quality player but not only that, he’s a quality team man,” Hansen said.

Skipper Kieran Read echoed his coach’s remarks, saying his Crusaders club team-mate worked his socks off and had the perfect frame for test rugby.

Todd, for his part, told reporters on Saturday the 37-10 win over the Wallabies was one of the most difficult of his career.

Australia had successfully got behind the All Blacks’ gain line and dominated ball possession, but the All Blacks’ defence held strong.

“We were really stretched there but the boys, when they needed to, found a play or a turnover or forced a mistake,” Todd said.

Rugby titans kept apart

By Mick cleary

T

he All Blacks are the best in the world, perhaps the best of all time given that on Saturday they set a record milestone of 18 successive test victories, and the only credible challenge to their supremacy now comes from the secondranked team in the world, England.

What a pity that the teams do not meet for another two years.

What a waste of possibility that the two do not go head-tohead in the autumn tests.

First against second, gnarled, worldly-wise Kiwi Steve Hansen up against well-travelled, sharpminded and even sharpertongued Aussie Eddie Jones.

It would be a matchmaker’s delight, top billing at the box office, rugby Viagra.

Except that it wouldn’t be.

And no, the reservations about such a fixture are nothing to do with the possibility that Eddie’s new-build England structure might come tumbling down.

If that were to happen, it happens.

The real delight of not spending the next couple of weeks pondering that thought is that we are given precious breathing space in this non-stop international fixture schedule where everyone seems to play everyone all the time.

There is little respite and no logic except the craven need to fill the coffers.

Oh, look, it is New Zealand against Australia again, the Bledisloe Cup, in mid-October, a couple of weeks after the Wallabies have been at Twickenham via Durban to play Argentina.

Where is the allure, the freshness, the point of difference or, for heaven’s sake, the sense of anticipation?

Jonah Lomu Nowhere, that’s where.

The whole test structure is up for review as the hemispheres argue over a share of the spoils.

There we go, money again, rather than proper debate on the value of scarcity.

If for a minute we adopt the lexicon of the money men, how have the Lions become the most commercially attractive brand in rugby?

Easy. We do not see them very often.

If they came together every year, we would all soon tire of the cherished romantic principle (And, boy, would the players get tired, too).

By circumstance rather than design, it has come about that New Zealand and England have been kept apart.

They last met at Twickenham on Nov 8, 2014, their fourth meeting in five months when the result was the same as the three previous encounters in New Zealand that June, a spirited, but losing, performance.

It will have been four years by the time the teams meet again.

Absence makes the heart beat faster and ever fonder.

There was a time – and, yes, it does seem like yesterday to those of us of a certain age – when the arrival of an All Black touring party to these shores was an event of wonder.

When Jonah Lomu rolled into town in 1997, it was a rock-star occasion, a Men In Black extravaganza.

This was Lomu up close and personal following his impact at the 1995 World Cup in South Africa, here he was deliberately shielded from the public to enhance his mystique, as if his thunderous talent needed any marketing makeover, but here was the boy-giant revealing the human being within the superpowered frame, a young man afflicted by the terrible kidney problems that were to eventually cause his premature death last year.

The tour party’s arrival was a high-profile event when rugby got the Leicester Square redcarpet treatment.

In this era of social media and instant access, it is more difficult than ever to preserve mystery.

But let us appreciate the fact that we do not have to have international teams playing each other so often without special reason.

The All Blacks, fresh from their record-breaking feats in Auckland on Saturday, will have no more than a couple of days to savour their achievement before they board a plane to Chicago, where they take on Ireland at Soldier Field on November 5.

A bonfire of vanities?

You would be right.

All the talk will be of a missionary project to stimulate growth in the American market, take the game to a new audience, fire up interest among TV executives.

The players are the fodder in all this, the meat that others keep devouring.

And still lip service is paid to the notion of player welfare, all feigned concern before the next cash-bountiful opportunity presents itself.

By the way, if you miss the Chicago match, do not worry.

The teams will be at it again at the Aviva Stadium on November 19.

We all understand that the international game needs funding and that can only come from broadcast deals, sponsorship and gate receipts.

But the appeal is finite. And TV access is not a cure-all remedy for put-upon bank accounts.

The European Champions Cup has wall-to-wall coverage split between Sky Sports and BT Sport, both of whom do a fine job.

But there is a sense that the stretched-out scheduling across the weekend has diluted the product. There is not the same buzz about the live action in the stadium.

Something is amiss.

And that is why we should treasure the fact that England will not meet New Zealand until November 2018.

It will be a blue-riband fixture by then, freighted with appeal and significance only 10 months before the World Cup. It is a dream ticket for promoters and a rare treat for spectators sated by the present carbo-loaded diet of test rugby.

Less is more.

That makes for real value. - DT

All Blacks fly into murder capital of the USA Chicago, where the All Blacks will be this weekend, has an unwanted reputation as the United States’ “murder capital” with soaring homicide rates this year.

“The Windy City” is the third most populous in the United States with more than 2.7 million people.

It is known for its skyscrapers, its geographical position on Lake Michigan, for being the hometown of US first lady Michelle Obama, the base for the Chicago Bulls in basketball and the Chicago Cubs in baseball.

And it is also known for its gun violence – the Chicago Tribune reports that 37 people were shot in the city just last weekend.

The Tribune says homicides are nearly 200 above this time last year.

With the Chicago Cubs hosting the World Series finals home baseball matches this week and through into the weekend when

Ashburton Guardian 17

the All Blacks arrive, the city will be on high alert.

The Cubs have not won a World Series championship since 1905 and the city is flooding with fans hoping to see history made.

Any victory parade in the city after the best-of-seven matches showdown would occur the week of the All Blacks’ build-up to their one-off test against Ireland at iconic Soldier Field.

A high proportion of the murders have happened in the downtown city area where the All Blacks will be staying ahead of the match on Sunday week New Zealand time.

The All Blacks will be bussed between training venues but have a high number of public appearances to make for international sponsors AIG and adidas while in Chicago.

There have been at least 614 homicides in Chicago and at least 3560 people have been

shot, according to the Tribune data.

This time last year, there were 416 homicides and at least 2495 people shot.

The wave of shootings is mostly in black and Hispanic neighbourhoods.

The body count outstrips that of New York and Los Angeles combined.

“Why do our communities look so different in one city?” said Diane Latiker, founder of Kids Off the Block, an anti-violence group in the South Side neighbourhood of Roseland.

“When there’s a crisis, there’s money that is always found by all means necessary. This is a crisis.”

Chicago is fighting an expensive two-front war – one on crime on the city’s South and West Sides, the other to keep the junk-rated city afloat.

The city has 12,500 police officers, second only to New York,

with 35,800 uniformed members.

There are plans to boost numbers to 13,500.

The rates of homicides and shootings have soared almost 50 per cent this year and murders are on pace to top 600, the highest in 15 years.

Daily violence is a grim diversion from insolvency concerns.

One local crime website keeps track of where homicide victims were shot – head, torso, limbs – and how often someone gets shot.

That’s about every two hours.

“The police have the relationship to crime that doctors and nurses have to illness and disease,” said Richard Rosenfeld, a professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

“It’s a mistake to assume that the crime problem is solely a police problem.”

Eels’ horror season Parramatta’s horror 2016, punctuated by a salary cap scandal, player dramas and boardroom trouble has resulted in an incredible $11 million loss. The massive financial haemorrhaging was announced in a letter penned by interim Eels boss and Parramatta Leagues Club CEO Paul Bevan yesterday. In the letter written to Leagues Club members and Eels fans, Bevan described the Eels annus horribilis as “tumultuous”.

Thor on tour “Tongan Thor” is to give the struggling Wallabies a startling superhero lift with his formidable 134kg frame set to go on tour to Europe. Taniela Tupou is just 20 with only three cameo appearances for the Queensland Reds but the sky is the limit for the most dynamic young prop in the country. Wallabies boss Michael Cheika may have another bolter up his sleeve with 19-year-old Queensland winger Izaia Perese also a big chance of a spot in the squad.

Watford investigated Watford are under investigation from the English Football League following allegations they supplied false financial documents to the governing body. The allegations, reported in the UK’s Daily Telegraph yesterday, centre on Gino Pozzo’s sole takeover of the Hornets in 2014, where he assumed complete control from his father Giampaolo, and the alleged use of a forged banking letter. The EFL could hand down a hefty fine or even a points deduction should the allegations be found true. - PA

Wenger still wanted Arsenal remain hopeful Arsene Wenger will stay as manager beyond the end of the season but have no immediate plans to open contract talks. Wenger’s current deal expires at the end of the campaign and the club want him to extend his 20-year spell in north London. Chairman Sir Chips Keswick was questioned about the Frenchman’s contract situation during the club’s AGM on Monday.

He said: “We are confident about his ability to take us forward”. - PA

Giggs slams players Ryan Giggs has slammed Manchester United’s players for their reaction after the final whistle was blown in their 4-0 loss to Chelsea.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was seen in what appeared to be a jovial exchange as he swapped shirts with Eden Hazard while Anthony Martial walked off the pitch with his arm around France team-mate N’Golo Kante. “You can get beat in a football match, but then when you’re getting beat and you’re swapping shirts, that is something I don’t like,” Giggs said.

No appeal from Lowe Perth coach Kenny Lowe has accepted a two-match ban over his bust-up with the referees in his side’s A-League match with Melbourne City. Lowe was involved in a heated altercation with referee Alan Milliner during the half-time break in Glory’s 3-2 win over City on Friday night.

In brief

■ AVONDALE

Keely Be ready to strike Keely Be’s wayward tendencies didn’t help her cause during a light threeyear-old campaign and the behind the scenes work on her racing manners may reap a major reward when she resumes at Avondale today.

The daughter of the in-form stallion Roc de Cambes will return following a break in the NZ Bloodstock Insurance Pearl Series Race.

“She used to get on one rein a bit, but it looks like we’ve ironed that out,” trainer David Greene said.

“We gave her a trial at Ruakaka and plonked her in behind horses and she handled that really well.”

Despite her earlier greenness, Keely Be showed encouraging signs during her first preparation and finished in the money in her first three appearances.

She was then turned out after an unplaced run at Te Aroha when tried over a mile.

The stable will also be represented by the well-related debutante La Bella

M2

Beel in the West Brook Winery 1400.

The four-year-old finished fourth in a recent trial.

“She’s a Zabeel mare so you never know with them first-up and if she keeps improving then she’s going to develop into a really nice horse,” Greene said.

La Bella Beel is a half-sister to the Singapore Group One winner Intercept.

The third member of Greene’s team at Avondale today is Thatsforsure, who will step out in the Racecourse Parade 1600.

“She seems to have been luckless her whole career,” he said.

“You wonder if she’s one of those horses that just finds trouble.

“But if things go her way then there’s no reason why she couldn’t win.”

- NZME

La Diosa targets classic The Gr.1 gavelhouse.com NZ 1000 Guineas remains the top priority for La Diosa. The leading southern three-year-old is also nominated for the Gr.1 Sothys NZ 2000 Guineas, but taking on her fellow fillies on November 12 is the preferred option. “She definitely won’t run in both,” said Matt Brown, who trains La Diosa. - NZME

Old firm reunited Opie Bosson will again join forces with Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman on the opening day of the New Zealand Cup carnival.

He has gained a release from the Hong Kong Jockey Club to ride Jon Snow on Saturday week for the Cambridge trainers in the Gr.1 Sothys NZ 2000 Guineas. - NZME

Williams on Highlad Craig Williams has been engaged to ride Cambridge three-year-old Highlad in Saturday’s VRC Derby.

He will replace Damien Oliver, who lost his appeal to have his ban reduced, while stablemate Saracino will be ridden by Mark Zahra in the Coolmore Stud Stakes.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): There are many explanations of things that are crude, mean and unintelligible that when you land on an explanation that is simple, clear and enchanting it will not only answer a question; it will begin a path.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You pretty much learned the thing: took the test; got the grade. Now what’s the next step? Knowledge on its own isn’t worth much unless you put it to good use.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your life will be better because you strive to live as fully as you can in the current so-called reality without taking it so seriously as to believe it to be the only reality there is.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You won’t be able to plan the exact steps to take you where you want to go, because you won’t know until you’re already in action. Move and suddenly the next move (and the next) becomes logical.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The thing you most need to do today is probably the same thing you’d like to avoid because it’s uncomfortable or risky or it could lead to a rejection. Do it first so you can get it over with and be proud of yourself.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): While you’re usually destination-oriented, today you set out to travel both everywhere and nowhere as you find there is so much knowledge and wisdom to gather within a small circle.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Which way would you take this if money were no object? That’s the way you need to move it today. First, it won’t cost as much as you thought. Second, benefactors will volunteer.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Finish what’s on your list, celebrate and then rest. The celebration doesn’t have to be anything big; a small ritual will do. Don’t skip that part, because it’s as important to the cycle as work or rest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): There are many forms of self-sabotage to be alert to and stamp out before they foul you. Starting too many projects at once is a form of procrastination, as it delays the completion of all goals.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Today you’ll get valuable external feedback and you’ll have the chance to make a course correction that leads to spiritual riches. This is the kind of wealth that can never be taken away.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Once again it’s time to veer off of what you’ve been taught. This isn’t disobedience so much as an expression of individuality. You can’t leave your footprint if you walk in another person’s tracks.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You want to grow quickly through an awkward beginning stage of learning. You’re like a child trying to act older than his or her years. There’s no pressure to do too much too fast. Savour the innocence.

Braden Currie competing in the XTERRA World Championships in Maui, Hawaii yesterday.

PHOTO GEORGIA SCHOFIELD

Podium eludes Currie The XTERRA World Championships are never short of challenges, and yesterday’s race in Maui, Hawaii, threw everything at its competitors, while Methven’s Braden Currie rated it as his toughest off-road triathlon yet.

Pounding swells and a muddy mountain bike leg saw the Red Bull endurance athlete finish in fourth place, while still managing to beat one of his closest rivals, Josiah Middaugh, and claim the second fastest run of the day.

Currie experienced highs through the 1.5km swim and lows on the 32km mountain bike that climbed 1000m up and down the lower slopes of the West Maui Mountains, before finishing strongly on the 10.5km trail in 2.55.49secs.

“I had the build-up that I had been wanting and I felt readier than ever and more confident than ever to win an XTERRA world title,” said Currie. “But the day seemed to throw more at me than perhaps I was prepared for.”

Torrential rain squalls and strong winds last week made for a heavy surf on the ocean swim.

Currie entered the water among the field of 45 elite men and found himself with a good lead.

Exiting the water, he was less than 40 seconds back on the leaders, swim specialists Courtney Atkinson and Ben Allen.

Currie was in a group of four for the long run up to the bikes.

The 30-year-old had a quick transition and went into the ride in fourth, ready to work his

way up to the lead.

Heading onto the run in sixth, close behind Middaugh, Currie knew that it was going to be a hard task playing catch-up.

Currie managed to pass Leonardo Chacon to move into fourth, believing that he could run his way to a podium finish.

“I kept pushing as hard as I could all the way to the end, but today was not to be,” he said.

“And hey, at the end of the day, fourth in the world ain’t that bad.” said Currie.

Kahu ready to stand in as Kiwis No 1 Broncos fullback Jordan Kahu knows he’s just passing through as Kiwis No.1 but hopes he can still do a job for the test outfit.

Kahu, 25, lined up on the wing for his NRL side in 2016 but will

fill in at fullback in the upcoming Four Nations series.

Incumbent No.1 Roger TuivasaSheck was felled by a serious knee injury for the Warriors in April and is yet to return to action.

Kahu told reporters in Auckland that despite his role at Brisbane, he saw himself as a fullback going forward for both club and country.

But he understood Tuivasa-

Sheck was the first choice.

“I’m just happy to hold the jersey while Roger’s injured,” Kahu said. “Everyone knows the jersey is his and I’m not here to take it off him.”

Svetlana Kuznetsova has given herself a haircut during her WTA Finals win over Agnieszka Radwanska in Singapore. Kuznetsova dug deep to overcome Radwanska 7-5 1-6 7-5 in their game, the late-arriving Russian upsetting the defending champion in a thrilling encounter. Trailing 1-2 in the third set and battling exhaustion, Kuznetsova requested scissors during a break and hacked through her thick ponytail about halfway down.

Schmidt stays in Ireland Kiwi Joe Schmidt has committed his future as Ireland head coach until the end of the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. The Irish Rugby Football Union made the announcement ahead of Ireland’s autumn series-opener against New Zealand in Chicago.

Schmidt took charge of Ireland in 2013 and masterminded back-to-back Six Nations titles, plus victories over South Africa and Argentina. The 51-year-old Schmidt thanked the governing body for showing patience in him after the “decision to continue took somewhat longer than I’d anticipated”.
