An undisclosed amount of drugs and firearms were seized at a rural Ashburton address during a police raid yesterday morning. Canterbury police, the Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) and a specialist search group executed a drug-related search warrant at the address, south of Ashburton, at 7am. Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Worner, who is in charge of the investigation, said a 45-year-old Mid Canterbury man was arrested on a number of firearms and drugs charges. He is due to appear in the Ashburton District Court on December 1.

Fifteen police officers, nine specialist search staff and members of the AOS seized drugs and firearms, but no more details were available, Detective Senior Sergeant Worner said. He could say the drugs were not methamphetamine, but not what type they were or how much was found. Police teams were at the address for most of the morning while the property was searched and enquiries completed. Such a large number of police staff were needed because of the size of the property, he said. They left the scene at about mid-afternoon yesterday. Other people were located at the address, but were not charged.

The search, like all other drugs-related warrants, was undertaken in an effort to curb the supply of drugs into the area, Detective Senior Sergeant Worner said. “The prevention of access to drugs and firearms in our community is always in the forefront of our actions.” Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield, of Ashburton, said the offender had been a person of interest for a period of time and more charges were likely to be laid. “[Yesterday’s] warrant is another step forward in disrupting the methamphetamine supply and is part of continuing enquiries within Mid Canterbury. “Police are committed to preventing the social harm that this illegal activity supports.”

Hemsworth ditches US Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth has moved back home to Australia so his kids can have a “normal existence”. The Thor actor and his Spanish wife Elsa Pataky recently bought a property near Byron Bay on the NSW north coast. “We travelled so much anyway with work that our base didn’t necessarily need to be in Hollywood so much anymore and it’s just sort of chaotic with the paparazzi,” Hemsworth told the Kyle and Jackie O Show yesterday morning. It was the “best decision” they ever made for their three children. “We can walk straight down [to] the beach, we can have a normal existence and the kids have a hell of a lot more fun there than they did back in the States,” said Hemsworth. Hemsworth stars in Ron Howard’s new film In The Heart Of The Sea.

In the market for a NZ island? A 172-hectare secluded eco sanctuary, bordering a national park and boasting five private beaches, could be yours for less than some Auckland properties. The stunning Dancing Star Reserve on Stewart Island has been listed on the market for the first time in 15 years. The private eco sanctuary, which adjoins Rakiura National Park, features mountainous terrain, garden meadows, five pristine beaches and some of the oldest native forest in New Zealand. It has a high-tech, ecologically engineered fence to exclude predators, as well as state-of-the-art electronic and video surveillance, as well as a 230-square-metre historic barn and an environmental education centre with a shower block and kitchen – all included in the $2.25 million asking price. The site has been used as a private, protected ecological refuge for native flora and fauna for the past 15 years, by current owners, the California-based, not-for-profit Dancing Star Foundation.

Robert Downey Jr insists having all his furniture shipped to Atlanta while he shot Captain America: Civil War wasn’t extravagant – he just wanted his cats to be happy. The 50-yearold actor reprises his role as superhero Tony Stark/Iron Man in the upcoming Marvel movie, which also stars Chris Evans in the title role. It was shot in Atlanta and as he prepared for filming Downey Jr realised he’d like a few of his creature comforts around him, resulting in him moving the entire contents of his home to the city for the duration. “I didn’t do a thing, the moving company did,” he told talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

The reported couple left the place separately but insiders claim Malik and Hadid were clearly there together.

Fear of missing out It’s a buzzword you might have heard before, but FoMO, or “fear of missing out” has been cited as a major reason for problem drinking in a new university study. The University of Otago said students with high levels of FoMO were far more likely than less FoMO-afflicted peers to have negative consequences from boozing. The university’s psychology department set up a 10-item FoMO scale asking people how strongly they agreed with statements such as “when I miss out on a planned gettogether it bothers me” and “I fear others have more rewarding experiences than me”. Jayde Flett, a Department of Psychology PhD candidate and the study’s co-author, said people scoring highly on the FoMO scale reported twice as many cases of alcohol-related negative consequences over the past three months than those scoring low on the trait.

■ ASHBURTON STADIUM TRUST

Trust’s role almost at an end By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

With a hydroslide now off the radar for Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre, the organisation set up to fundraise for the $35 million complex might shortly put itself out of business. The Ashburton Stadium Trust was the original promoters of the multi-sports complex and was later given the challenge of raising $5 million from the community to kickstart the district’s stadium and

pool complex project. It started fundraising in 2008 with the final pledges due to be paid by the end of 2018. Yesterday, the trust’s chairman Maurice Myers told Ashburton District Councillors that over the past four years it had collected $4.7 million in grants, pledges and donations and had handed this money to the council. Over the next three years another $1 million would be collected, he said.

With its initial commitment to the council completed, the trust saw helping fund a hydroslide complex for the pools as its next goal. “Six months ago I put the question to board members, what did they see as the future for the trust and at that point they were happy to stay on because the hydroslide was still in the equation. Now this hasn’t happened so we may now see some resignations,” he said. The council surveyed the com-

munity last year to gauge support for hydroslides in the centre’s pool complex that were likely to cost upwards of $2 million. There was strong support but when the council developed its spending plan for the next 10 years, the hydroslide was taken off the table and became a project that might be looked at in the future. And that decision, Mr Myers said, meant the trust had probably reached the end of its life. “From now until June 2018, we’ll

be little more than a debt collection business,” he said. Councillor Ken Cutforth suggested that collecting the remaining pledged money could become a job for the council rather than the trust absorbing administration costs to do the work. No decision was made, but Mr Myers said he was likely to step down from the chairman’s position he has held since the trust was set up by the council to drive community fundraising.

Tree planted as a living memory to stalwart By CaitliN Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

More than 20 people came out to celebrate Carol Hill’s dedication to the local diabetes branch at a tree planting ceremony yesterday. The former president of the Diabetes New Zealand Ashbur-

ton branch, Mrs Hill died while on holiday in Santorini, Greece earlier this year. To commemorate her dedication to the community and to mark Diabetes Awareness Month a Myrtle tree was planted in her honour at the Ashburton Domain.

Dr Murray Wackrow opened the small ceremony and spoke about his interaction with Mrs Hill over the past 30 plus years. “I will never forget Carol’s smile … and we will cherish that smiley face,” he said. Dr Wackrow said Mrs Hill was very vibrant and he hoped the

tree, which would serve as a living memory to her contribution to the community, reflected her personality. Also in attendance at the ceremony were members of the local diabetes group, Mrs Hill’s husband Barrie, father Eric and sons Shane and Lance.

Community House Mid Canterbury is putting a call out to the community for help with the primary feature of its new building, a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Winz tragedy. Peggy Noble, 67, and Susan Leigh, 55, were shot and killed on September 1, 2014 while working in the Cass Street building, soon to be home to Community House. Earlier this year the Community House Trust raised the last of the money needed to buy the Cass Street building, its purchase ensuring a positive future for a building with a tragic past. Board chairman John Driscoll said an area outside the building on Cass Street has been set aside as the site of the memorial. It is to include a garden, specimen tree, seating and a plaque and is expected to be completed in time for the opening early next year. The Ministry of Social Development has offered to contribute to the memorial and the plaque, however Mr Driscoll said the total cost was significantly more than this and Community House did not have sufficient funds to meet the shortfall. Local service clubs, organisations and individuals, along with funding agencies have already made significant donations to the building project bringing the total amount raised to $1.6 million.

Technical difficulties could not hamper yesterday’s citizenship ceremony. Fifteen people were welcomed into the district yesterday, as part of the November ceremony. Ashburton District mayor Angus McKay welcomed each citizen to the district before deputy mayor Darryl Nelson presented them with a native plant. Technical difficulties however, meant a video from the Ministry of Internal Affairs featuring the Honourable Peter Dunne and Governor-General Jerry Mataparae could not play. No issue for council, Mr McKay stepped up to speak to the citizens and their friends and families in attendance. The technical hiccup meant the national anthem could not play but the citizens rallied, belting out an acoustic rendition of the New Zealand national anthem. So far this year 136 citizens have been welcomed to the district, with a total of 849 welcomed in since the beginning of 2008.

Ambulance calls St John Ashburton attended 12 medical-related incidents on Wednesday.

Fire victim identified

El Nino here till next spring By MiChelle nelson

miChelle.n@theguardian.Co.nz

The current El Nino weather pattern is likely to haunt Mid Canterbury farmers well into next spring, according to Blue Skies Weather creator Tony Trewinnard. Mr Trewinnard was in Ashburton yesterday addressing Mid Canterbury Rural Professionals Trust members. “When is it going to rain?” was the question on everyone’s lips. Mr Trewinnard said the current weather pattern was likely to remain in place until later next year, and until then Canterbury farmers can only expect 20 to 30 milimetres of monthly rain.

In Canterbury El Nino typically delivers westerly winds carrying little rain, which also suck

moisture from the soils. “We are coming off a drier than usual summer with reduced aquifer recharge and low soil moisture levels, and heading into another dry patch,” Mr Trewinnard said. Warmer sea temperatures indicate the likelihood of an El Nino developing, but trade winds and cloud patterns also tell a tale, he said. The worst droughts are typically produced by moderate El Nino patterns, as was the case in the late eighties and early nineties. “We are around about the peak of the El Nino now, but my concern is there is increasing evidence of a La Nina (the oppo-

site phase of the global weather cycle) will happen next,” he said. “Because this has been a prolonged El Nino, there could be a long period between the peak of the El Nino and the peak of the La Nina – which does not always happen, but it says it will be dry until the spring.” The opposite will occur on the West Coast, where El Nino is expected to deliver deluges over the summer. New Zealand farmers are not the only ones at the mercy of El Nino, it impacts on the monsoon in India and anchovy fishermen in Peru. The US can expect a very cold winter, and Australians will have a worse fly plague than usual.

■ METHVEN PRIMARY

School recognised worldwide By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury school has received worldwide recognition by technology giant Microsoft for its commitment to e-learning. Last week Methven Primary School was announced as one of 400 global Microsoft Showcase Schools for 2015-2016. Methven Primary School is among six New Zealand schools (only two primary) to be selected for its excellence in transforming its learning environment to deliver personalised education to students using mobile and cloud technology. Principal Chris Murphy said he was excited when he heard Methven Primary was named among the 400 showcase schools around the world. “Being selected as a Microsoft Showcase School is an amazing honour and recognition of the passion our teachers and staff have for creating the best learning environments possible. “[Microsoft has] been really impressed with how we’ve gone about moving towards e-learning in the classroom.” As part of the recognition Mr Murphy was invited, along with

teresting look at transforming education at a school level, he said.

“It was a fantastic opportunity.” At the end of the conference Mr Murphy also visited a Singaporean school. Their schooling system produced students with higher academic achievements than New Zealand schools but they were not as creative, innovative and entrepreneurial, he said. As a showcase school, Methven Primary School will work closely with Microsoft in mentoring other schools in the community. Microsoft Worldwide Education vice-president Anthony Salcito said each showcase school was transforming learning and providing more personalised education to students. “Microsoft Showcase Schools are shining examples of those applying purpose driven innovation in a variety of ways to build connection, motivate students and to create community in and out of school.” Showcase schools received a number of benefits including access to professional development, monthly online discussions and Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts on staff.

■ KIWISAVER HOMESTART SCHEME

Collaboration the way, Fifty-nine first home buyers take advantage of new grant levels not amalgamation By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguaRdian.co.nz

Collaboration between local authorities rather than amalgamation is the answer to streamlining costs and services, says Ashburton mayor Angus McKay. While the Government might be talking amalgamation of councils in some parts of New Zealand, Mr McKay said for many councils working together would achieve a much better outcome. And Ashburton was already moving down that path in areas such as the Canterbury Water Strategy and in roading management. As part of that collaboration a new partnership had been forged between the Ashburton District Council and Fulton Hogan that would result in better roads for councils in Mid and South Canterbury. Councillor Stuart Wilson, chairman of the council’s service delivery committee has been part of a group working to achieve a region-wide approach to road maintenance.

“This has been achieved after a long collaboration between Mid and South Canterbury’s territorial local authorities. Ashburton District Council; Timaru District Council; Waimate District Council and Mackenzie District Council and a lot of work went into the contract to ensure that it delivers maximum benefit for the region. It is a very good contract and we are getting very good value for money.” As part of that deal, Fulton Hogan has been awarded an $18 million, five-year contract to complete road maintenance work in the Ashburton District. The contract includes a better road inspection regime, tighter reporting requirements and a larger scope of projects than has previously been in place, Mr Wilson said. “The partnership will improve the standard of road maintenance across the Ashburton region and Fulton Hogan will be working hard to improve road maintenance on both gravel and sealed roads.”

Hula hoops latest exercise fitness tool Hula hoops might have been a plaything in the 1970s but today they’re back and taking New Zealand by storm as the latest exercise fitness tool. Christchurch woman Bernadette Smith saw possibilities in the plastic hoops back in 2008 and established In2Hula, her exercise company that has growing numbers of people of all ages wriggling their hips inside a hoop with the aim of getting fit.

Hula hoop classes are held across Christchurch and in January Mrs Smith will be bringing her hoops to Ashburton to give people an opportunity to test drive hula hooping. The stop over will be part of her nationwide tour where she will be promoting hula hooping as an exercise. Ashburton’s In2Hula workshop will be held at the EA Networks Centre on January 24 from 10am to noon.

Ashburton’s first home buyers have been quick to take advantage of new grant levels from the KiwiSaver HomeStart Scheme. To date 59 people around the district are receiving help to buy their first home through the Government’s new $435 million scheme. In April the amount couples can apply for first home grants doubled. The limits are now up to $10,000 for a deposit on an existing home, and up to $20,000 for a new-build. In the Ashburton District $184,000 has been paid out in grants, said Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew. “This is the most generous support for

first home buyers in more than a generation,” she said. In the Ashburton District alone there has been $184,000 in grants paid and nationally almost 6400 applications had been approved. “Buying a first home is a huge step and I am pleased to see so many young families in the Ashburton District are making the most of the support available,” she said. Mrs Goodhew is encouraging all firsthome buyers in the Ashburton District to check whether they are eligible. Over the next five years, HomeStart is expected to help 90,000 people with grants.

■ ASHBURTON BOROUGH SCHOOL

In brief

Parking restrictions discussed By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

A proposal for parking restrictions around Ashburton Borough School will not affect employees of nearby businesses, Ashburton District Council urban contracts engineer Hernando Marilla says. The school contacted council at the end of last term after facing continual congestion issues at pick-up and drop-off times due to people parking outside the school all day. Ashburton Borough School business manager Kate Bond said the council came back with a proposal which was discussed during a board meeting on Tues-

day. A formal request for P120 parking restrictions around the school boundary on Short and Park streets was given to the council yesterday, she said. An Ashburton resident, who did not want to be named, said he was concerned because his daughter was an employee of a nearby business and he did not think there would be enough parking available if the restrictions were put in place. However, Mr Marilla said if the request was approved there would still be plenty of free allday parking for people working nearby. “I think there’ll be enough.”

They might have to walk a little further but it would only be another 100m and it would be good exercise, he said. There would only be restrictions on the school side of Park and Short streets. Mr Marilla said he was more worried about the students’ safety than the workers’ inconvenience. The school’s formal request would be discussed at next Thursday’s service delivery meeting before going to a council committee early next year, he said. District planning manager Ian Hyde said all new businesses in

the Zone B, which includes the area near Ashburton Borough School, needed to provide adequate parking for their employees, therefore it should not be a problem. Some older businesses had existing use rights for on-street parking but if any changes were made the parking situation would be assessed to ensure there was enough either on or off-street, he said. A Harvey Norman staff member and Mitre 10 Mega employee both said they would not be affected because parking was provided for employees in the stores’ car parks.

Gilmours was robbed about 7.40am and the men can be seen inside the store around that time. The store is open on Sundays from 9am until 3pm. Police have released photos of the men and are appealing to anyone with information about them or the robbery to come forward. - NZME

High temperatures melt roads By sue NewMaN

Early bird enrolments for the Methven Summer School close tomorrow. Organising committee chairperson Judith Sommerville said while some courses had sold out as the early bird deadline approached, some courses had no entries at all. In the latter catergory was a three-day course on playwriting, to be tutored by Auckland playwright and theatre director Gary Henderson. It would require a minimum of five people to run. A course on stone art to be tutored by Peter Green had been very popular this year, but next year’s course had yet to receive any entries. A makeup course for young women had not received a lot of entries, however, one for older women had received lots of entries. More popular courses have included golf, upholstery, distressed furniture, painting and photography courses.

Caught on camera

Saying no to violence against women Police statistics show almost 50 per cent of assaults in Mid Canterbury are committed by people known to the victim, all too often a family member or partner. Women are the victims of many of these assaults. Earlier this year Ashburton police reported attending about eight incidents involving domestic violence every week, but conceded many went unreported. In response to these disturbing facts, the Ashburton branch of Zonta will march on Saturday to draw attention to violence against women and girls. The Zonta says NO walk will begin at the corner of Cass and Cameron Streets, near the new Work and Income Office, and end at the Ashburton District Court. The club invites other service and community organisations, and interested people to join them in raising awareness of the problem. Zonta member Marilyn Gilchrist said violence against women and girls continues to pervade society.

Summer school classes

With the Ashburton District predicted to experience many days with high temperatures this summer, the Ashburton District Council is already counting the cost in damaged roads. On Wednesday temperatures rose above 30 degrees during the afternoon and that caused bitumen to melt on several roads around the district. One of those, Christys Road, Pendarves was scoured in several patches as melted tar and chip were eroded by passing vehicles. And it’s a problem council roading manager Brian Fauth knows he’ll be dealing with reg-

ularly over the coming months. The Ashburton District is in the unusual situation of having to seal its roads with material that can withstand both extreme cold and extreme heat, he said. “Some bitumen applications will withstand cold far better but not extremes of heat and others are better at the upper temperature end. We try to get a treatment that will do everything by using additives.” Additives such as polymer for better elasticity, were a modern development, however, and many roads around the district had been resurfaced before the latest additives were available, Mr Fauth said.

“We try to get the most cost effective solutions for our roads and then we have to hope our contractors put it down appropriately.” Temperature extremes were the greatest enemy of road surfaces and all councils fought maintenance and mitigation battles around those extremes year round, but if the council was made aware of a road where tar was melting, contractors would be dispatched as quickly as possible to deal with the problem areas, he said. “We’d encourage people to call us if they see a problem, if we know about it we can do something about it.”

A motorcyclist is injured after two bikes crashed on Haast Pass in windy conditions yesterday. The two motorcycles were involved in the crash, which took place on State Highway 6, Haast PassMakarora Rd, at around 2.45pm, Senior Sergeant Brian Benn of the southern district command centre said. “Ambulance phoned police to advise us there had been a two motorcycle crash at Makarora,” he said. “One person has been taken away by ambulance.” It was quite windy in the region, Mr Benn said, and that “may well have been a factor”. “There’s some big gusts coming through.” - NZME

Coach charged Rowing stalwart Fred Strachan has been charged over a rowing crash which landed three Otago Boys’ High School pupils in hospital last year. Maritime New Zealand has confirmed it laid charges against the school’s rowing coach Mr Strachan and the school’s board in connection with the crash. Mr Strachan, who was 91 at the time of the crash, lost control of a powerboat which then collided with a rowing eight skiff in Otago Harbour, landing three pupils in Dunedin Hospital, two of whom suffered serious injuries. Mr Strachan has been charged with operating a boat in a manner that caused unnecessary danger, while the board was charged with permitting the boat to be operated in a way that caused unnecessary danger. Mr Strachan has been involved in rowing for seven decades. - NZME

■ WORLDWIDE WEEKEND OF ACTION

Marchers urging action on climate change By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton is part of a worldwide weekend of action targeted at world leaders gathering for the Paris summit to address climate change. Mid Cantabrians are invited to take part by meeting at the main entrance of the Ashburton Domain on West Street at noon tomorrow, and bring along placards if they can. Leading on the day will be Gerrie Ligtenberg of the Green Party, which is organising the action. Mrs Ligtenberg said yesterday she wanted as many people as possible to turn up on the day, or they could register beforehand on the official website, to form a line down the street until 1pm. “We will form part of the millions all over the world who are marching this weekend,” Mrs Ligtenberg said. “By now it is accepted on a world-wide scale that something needs to be done.” On the placards, people could indicate they wanted a reduction of 40 per cent in emissions, the same as some European countries were pledging. Alternatively they could ask prime minister John Key to do it for our children and their chil-

Ashburton Forest and Bird chairperson Edith Smith and her friend Rowena Hart will be attending, and hoped to encourage as many others as possible. Climate change was already having a real affect on animals

and humankind. “We have to have a future for our kids, I’m really worried about that,” Mrs Hart said. She had been at Mt Cook last weekend and could not believe how much the Tasman Glacier had receded.

Mrs Smith said a warming climate would affect the tuatara, as they needed cooler temperatures for the health of their eggs, and it was already affecting mutton birds due to a change in ocean temperatures, and the hoiho due to a change in ocean pH.

There is less than a week to go until entries close in this year’s New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards. Entries are being accepted online at www.dairyindustryawards. co.nz and close at midnight on November 30. General manager Chris Keeping says there have been 360 entries received to date. “What’s really pleasing to see is the even spread of entries across the three competitions,” she said. “We made some significant changes to the entry criteria in each of the competitions this year to make the competitions more even. Mrs Keeping said the entries to date include 100 entered in the Share Farmer of the Year competition, 131 in the Dairy Manager of the Year competition and 129 in the Dairy Trainee of the Year contest. “In the past few years our dairy trainee numbers have been nearly double the entries in the other competitions,” she said. “The changes we made of restricting the entrants’ age from 18 to 25 years and reducing the number of years they can have been farming to a maximum of three has made it a true trainee competition and certainly affected entries in the 2016 contest. Organisers are confident final entry numbers will reach 500.

■ REFUGEES DESTINATION

Dunedin the new settlement site Dunedin has been picked as the new settlement location for refugees flocking to New Zealand shores. A Government assessment – carried out by the New Zealand Refugee Resettlement Strategy Senior Officials’ Group – chose the South Island city as a new settlement location based on its employment, housing, local community and support services. An extra settlement location was needed following the Government’s decision to allow 750 Syrian refugees in New Zealand before the end of 2018 in response to the ongoing conflict in Syria, Immigration New Zealand general manager Steve McGill said. There are currently five spots in New Zealand where refugees are settled after a six-week reception programme: Auckland, Waikato, Manawatu, Wellington and Nelson. Dunedin was considered alongside New

Plymouth, Hastings and Napier, Invercargill and Tauranga. “Dunedin has a strong set of services and is a well-connected city where a number of government agencies have a presence,” Mr McGill said. “There are good employment opportunities in the area, suitable housing is available and there is excellent support from the community.” Quota refugees are given permanent residence when they arrive in New Zealand spent their first six weeks at the Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre, completing a reception programme to support living and working in New Zealand. The Government announced New Zealand would take 750 extra Syrian refugees over the next three years – a measure expected to cost an extra $50 million – in September this year. - NZME

Tuesday, December 1 www.guardianonline.co.nz

It’s been a successful day for recovery crews working at the site of the Fox Glacier helicopter crash. A total of 26 personnel, including police, alpine rescue staff, and investigators were at the scene yesterday. The bodies of the final three victims were retrieved along with some wreckage, including the tail of the helicopter. Sergeant Sean Rudd said completing the job wasn’t an easy task and, because of the nature of the job, it had been carried out

with mixed feelings. He says there had been a lot of pressure on the team this week and it was the families of the victims they felt for the most, so it was good to finally get it done. Investigators collected drone footage of the wreckage yesterday, and were preparing to remove it. Two Australians, four British tourists and the New Zealand pilot all died in the crash on Saturday. - NZME

OUR VIEW

Ashburton Stadium Trust, take a bow Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

or the past 10 or so years a small group of people has been battling the odds, beavering away, raising money for something that would benefit our entire community. They’ve done what they’ve done out of a commitment to the place they call home, out of a desire to see their district have world class facilities and along the way they’ve made huge personal sacrifices. That group is the Ashburton Stadium Trust, made up of a few absolutely committed people, driven by the belief that this district needed a new indoor pool complex and covered playing courts. They’ve battled on every front, but their belief in what they were doing was unshakeable, they knew they were backing a winner. The trust was asked to raise $5 million towards the project by the Ashburton District Council. If that money could be raised, it would show community commitment and the council would get behind the project, coming up with what turned out to be around $30 million. At no time did those trust members waiver in their drive to raise the cash and yet at times they must have wondered if they would ever meet their goal. They did and the rest is history. As a community we now have a recreational facility that impresses everyone who uses it. Its doors have been open for almost seven months and user numbers just keep climbing. Most of those who walk through what is now known as the EA Networks Centre doors won’t give a thought to the people who drove this project from dream to completion, but without them it would have remained just that, a dream. But like many groups formed for just one purpose, the stadium trust is now looking at its relevance now the complex is completed. Like many in the community they were waiting for stage two of the project to get under way, and had indicated they’d fundraise towards hydroslides. The council had other ideas and the trust is out of business. Unfortunately, when fundraising starts for this project the public may have lost its appetite for giving and this team of ‘amateur experts’ their appetite for fundraising.

o be honest if it hadn’t been for Amanda wanting to go to Disneyland I would have been very happy to leave Los Angeles off the itinery completely. It just doesn’t have the “soul” that the other spots we went to have. It’s hard to explain, but it feels plastic to me and don’t get me started on the traffic! In saying that though, Disneyland was a highlight. We spent 13 hours there, yes 13 hours. We only had the one day planned and we were really keen on staying for the night-time parade and fireworks display. We went on every ride that had a “heart health” warning attached to it. I am not real keen on most rides unless I’ve had a belly full of German beer like I did at the Oktoberfest back in 1991. The rides at Disneyland are pretty tame though, but they are good fun. Just make sure you work your fast passes as much as you can. Otherwise they are like Viagra, a 45-minute wait for a five-minute ride. A couple of things amazed me at Disneyland. One was how many under-fives there were. It is tough enough on adults lining up 45 minutes for a ride, let alone little ones. We saw several meltdowns in every queue. In years to come, how much of their visit will they really remember? The other thing that blew us away at the “happiest place on earth” was just how many people were in one place at one time. It wasn’t as expensive to eat there as I was expecting and I highly recommend trying the turkey drumsticks, all that protein in one sitting should have you sorted for most of the day. Just be careful how you eat them, because it could be quite embarrassing to spill turkey fat all down the front of your shirt. That could leave an ugly-looking stain after you try and clean it off in the toilets eh! Yes, add Disneyland to your bucket list, but be prepared to do a lot of waiting in lines! If you’re going to Disneyland then you may as well pop into Hollywood as well. Don’t plan on doing that quickly though. We caught a bus and several trains from the airport and it took us over two hours. We then had to catch a taxi back to the airport and got caught in rush-hour traffic, which is pretty much all day except for an hour or two over lunchtime. If it wasn’t for our driver, who channelled Michael Schumacher, we would

have missed our flight home. Forget about all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood that you’ve heard about. Hollywood Boulevard is a street with stars in the sidewalk and people dressed up as famous people and characters and lots of homeless people and that’s about it really. If you take a guided minivan tour of the homes of the rich and famous, make sure you barter and anything over half of where they start is probably too much. I reckon San Francisco is a much better option for you to fly into and out of on the West Coast of America, but I guess you should probably include it for Disneyland and to say you’ve been there and done that.

In brief Protests over death Small groups of demonstrators gathered again in Chicago to protest the death of a black teen shot by a white police officer, an incident captured on squadcar video that President Barack Obama called “deeply disturbing.” About two dozen protesters gathered outside Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s City Hall office, a day after authorities released a graphic squad-car video showing the officer shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times. The officer, Jason Van Dyke, was charged with first-degree murder. - AP

South Koreans mourn

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country does not wish to escalate tensions with Russia over the downing of its plane. Erdogan said Turkey favours “peace, dialogue and diplomacy.” PHOTO AP

Turkey, Russia face off Russia has sent an advanced missile system to Syria to protect its jets operating there and pledged its air force would keep flying missions near Turkish air space, sounding a defiant note after Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet. Underscoring the message, Russian forces launched a heavy bombardment against insurgent-held areas in Latakia, near where the jet was downed, rebels and a monitoring group said. The United States and Europe both urged calm and continued dialogue in telephone conversations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, a sign of international concern at the

prospect of any escalation between the former Cold War enemies. The downing of the jet was one of the most serious publicly acknowledged clashes between a NATO member and Russia for half a century, and further complicated international efforts to battle Islamic State militants in Syria. President Tayyip Erdogan made no apology, saying his nation had simply been defending its own security and the “rights of our brothers in Syria”. He made clear Turkish policy would not change. Russian officials expressed fury over Turkey’s action and

spoke of retaliatory measures that were likely to include curbing travel by Russian tourists to Turkish resorts and some restrictions on trade. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described it as a planned act and said it would affect efforts towards a political solution in Syria. Moscow would “seriously reconsider” its relations with Ankara, he said. Jets believed to be Russian also hit a depot for trucks waiting to go through a major rebelcontrolled border crossing with Turkey, Bab al-Salam, the head of the crossing said. Syrian jets have struck the area before, but if confirmed to have

been carried out by Russia, it would be one of Moscow’s closest air strikes to Turkish soil, targeting a humanitarian corridor into rebel-held Syria and a lifeline for ordinary Syrians crossing to Turkey. But the Russian response was carefully calibrated, indicating Moscow did not want to jeopardise its main objective in the region: to rally international support for its view on how the conflict in Syria should be resolved. “We have no intention of fighting a war with Turkey,” Lavrov said. Erdogan also said Ankara had no intention of escalating tensions with Russia. - Reuters

‘Preventable errors’ led to hospital attack The US airstrike that killed 31 civilians at a hospital in Afghanistan last month resulted from preventable errors by soldiers and airmen who violated rules of engagement and have been removed from duty while awaiting further investigation, military officials said yesterday. A briefing in Kabul provided the latest US explanation but left some questions unanswered about an attack in which an internationally run hospital was subjected to barrages of heavy fire from an AC-130 gunship. Among them: how the attack was ordered in a populated area based on a ground commander’s request with little apparent re-

Commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, General John F. Campbell view by higher headquarters. Gen. John Campbell, the top US commander in Afghanistan, said the airstrike was supposed

to have been directed at a nearby facility being used as a Taliban command centre but the warplane fired at the wrong building. After the plane’s targeting sensors malfunctioned, he said, the crew relied on a physical description to home in on the target. But no Americans on the ground were in position to see the hospital. “This was a tragic but avoidable accident caused primarily by human error,” said Campbell, who described the results of parallel investigations to reporters in Afghanistan and listening in at the Pentagon in Washington. A summary of one of the inves-

tigations, obtained by The Associated Press, said that witnesses differed in their versions of how and why the strike was authorised. It also said the Special Forces commander who called in the strike, identified by AP sources as a major, had been given the co-ordinates of the hospital two days before but said he didn’t recall seeing them. Investigators found that the aircrew continued the attack despite observing no hostile activity from the hospital, operated by the international group Doctors Without Borders. It found no evidence that armed Taliban were operating from there. - AP

Thousands of mourners have gathered in Seoul to say their final farewells to late former President Kim Young-sam, whose landmark 1992 election victory ended decades of military rule. A state funeral began yesterday at the lawn outside Parliament, where Kim was sworn in as South Korea’s president in early 1993 for a fiveyear term. Kim died on Sunday at 87. Kim was a towering figure in South Korean politics, leading fights against dictators from the 1960s through the 1980s. - AP

Wildfire kills at least 2 Firefighters contained a large wildfire yesterday that had caused at least two deaths, 13 injuries and destroyed at least 16 homes near the southern Australian city of Adelaide, officials said. Two bodies of a 56-year-old woman and a 69-year-old man were recovered on Wednesday, South Australia state Premier Jay Weatherill said. Their names were not released. At least two firefighters were among the 13 people hospitalised on Wednesday by the fast-moving blaze that had scorched 85,000 hectares of farm and woodland and threatened several towns near Adelaide, Weatherill said. - AP

Corruption scandal Brazilian police yesterday arrested the leader of the ruling party in the Senate for obstruction of justice and it caused a stir in the political sphere of the country already accustomed to daily disclosures related to the corruption scandal of the state oil company Petrobras. Minister of the Supreme Federal Tribunal, Teori Zavascki authorised the detention of Delcídio do Amaral, 60, due to evidence showing that the parliamentary leader interfered in the investigation of a kickback scheme of the oil giant. - AP

From lashes to death When Palestinian artist Ashraf Fayadh was tried last year on blasphemy-related charges, the Saudi judges overseeing the case rejected the prosecution’s request for a death sentence for apostasy. Instead, he was sentenced to 800 lashes and four years in prison over a book of poetry he wrote and for allegedly having illicit relations with women. An appeal was filed and the case was sent back to the lower court, but this time around judges threw out defense witness testimony, refused to accept Fayadh’s repentance and on November 17 sentenced him to execution for apostasy. His friends are now asking how the case could draw such different verdicts. - AP

gage on the substance of the proposed reforms throughout this year, preferring to see draft legislation, Smith said. As a result, a swathe of reforms that have come from a variety of recommending bodies in the last five years, and which environmental groups as well as business lobbies had been calling for, stand a good chance of passing into legislation. The reform announcements gained early, cautious approval from the Environmental Defence Society, which said “the

bill apparently puts in place a moderate set of progressive reforms” and “has dropped the objectionable elements proposed earlier.” “In that respect, (it) is a significant win for our natural heritage and is consistent with our advocacy,” EDS chairman Gary Taylor said in a statement. “The core environmental protections in Part 2 of the RMA remain intact. “There are no other changes to either section 6 or section 7 so the environmental bottom lines remain intact. “That is very important.” The biggest changes under the proposed reforms would be to standardise and streamline the way the dozens of local authorities around the country undertake the planning processes that are required under the RMA to improve consistency and reduce complexity; a faster and more flexible planning process with tighter timelines and greater potential for collaboration. - NZME

migration hit 62,500. There continues to be a surge in New Zealanders moving home from Australia. This was the first time that we have seen a net inward migration over a year from Australia since 1991 and is a sharp reversal of recent trends. As is the case in the US, the New Zealand economy is looking towards the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s December meeting. The market is split down the middle on whether there will be another rate cut or whether it will hold rates for the second month in a row. Two of the large banks in New Zealand have predicted that there will be a cut in December and further cuts in the New Year taking the official cash rate to 2.00 per cent. Others are predicting one more cut which may or may not come in December. Currently the OCR sits at 2.75 per cent and the concerns that the RBNZ raised at its financial stability report still remain. Across the Tasman, the Reserve Bank of Australia governor Glen Stevens spoke this week to a gathering of economists and surprised them by commenting that he agreed with the arguments for holding the cash rate steady at the December meeting, saying “We’ve got Christmas.

This comes as Chinese steel factories have slowed production in reaction to continually slowing growth in China. Oil prices continue to be volatile, though seeing a resurgence this week. Increased geo political tensions have threatened the future of supply channels causing a rebound in prices. Oil prices have been under pressure over the last while due to reports of a global supply glut. Gold prices have also slipped as people move back to the US dollar as the countdown to the rate hike lift off begins. Looking ahead to December, we have a busy economic schedule ahead. As mentioned above, there are central bank meetings for the US, NZ and Australia, and seemingly only one out of the three is definitely not going to yield a change. In addition to these three, the European Central Bank is due to meet and the market is split on whether there will be an increase to the stimulus programme or not.

The market week in review

t has been a reasonably quiet week for markets this week with only a few major economic releases. In the US, the second estimate for third quarter gross domestic product (GDP) was released. Originally growth for the quarter was reported to be 1.5 per cent however this has been revised upwards to 2.1 per cent on an annualised basis. The revised figure was boosted by upward revisions to business spending and, although, consumer spending was revised slightly lower it has continued to grow at a brisk pace. The market continues to look ahead to the Federal Reserve’s December meeting, at which a rate hike is looking likely. Since the last meeting a number of Fed officials have confirmed that they see December as being a likely time for the initial rate rise. The rhetoric has remained the same from all speakers and was backed up by the minutes from the previous meeting, reiterating that when the rate rise happens it will be a gradual process and the Fed will take its time to normalise rates. Further data releases from the US included flash manufacturing data for November, which showed factory growth is at its lowest level in two years. It is important to note, however, that the sector is expanding, just not at the same speed as we have seen in previous months. Locally, the latest migration figures were released showing that net migration continues to run at record levels. In the year to October 31, net

Hokitika-based Westland Milk Products said its seasonal production peak, which occurred mid-way through this month, was 2.5 per cent down compared with last season’s peak. Westland said the drop meant more capacity was available for the co-operative and its shareholders, enabling a greater focus on added-value product. In total, Westland processed 3,843,250 litres of milk by peak flow, compared with 3,931,022 litres last season. In previous years, peak milk has all been channelled into bulk milk powders to maintain throughput. - NZME

The government has formally hauled down the flag on its attempts to alter the balance of environmental and economic priorities in the Resource Management Act, unveiling a 180-page Resource Legislation Amendment Bill containing reforms that have enough political support to become law. Environment Minister Nick Smith unveiled the legislation, which will get its first reading in the parliament next Thursday and should emerge from select committee hearings by mid-2016 and may be capable of becoming law by the end of next year unless further major political objections emerge. The Maori Party, which had opposed more fundamental changes to two of the three purpose clauses in the RMA, Sections 6 and 7, is supporting the amendment package, as is the Act party, meaning the government has the bare majority required to pass the reforms.

However, Smith remains hopeful that cross-party support will emerge from at least the Labour and New Zealand First parties. Labour’s housing spokesman, Phil Twyford, said in September that Labour had been “waiting for a year for the government to introduce its proposed changes to the RMA” and that the party had “said all along we will support any measure - except for gutting the fundamental principles of the law - which makes it easier to build more houses in New Zealand”. In a statement yesterday, Twyford described the bill, which proposes some 200 amendments to six pieces of legislation, as “tinkering” that would not ease the Auckland housing shortage. “If process improvements save the public time and money without trading off people’s right to have a say, that will be welcomed. “But nothing in this bill tackles the fundamental causes of the housing crisis,” said Twyford. The United Future party’s one MP, Peter Dunne, declined to en-

In brief Praise for Williamson The Aussies have named Kane Williamson as the best visiting batsman on their pitches in the last 15 years. It’s high praise from the hosts who normally prefer to lavish praise on volumes of their own heroes instead of extolling the merits of any opponents and curiously, they don’t give any reason why they think Williamson is better than Virat Kohli who has a similar average from double the innings. - AAP

Losing the toss Is the toss on the way out in cricket? The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will discuss a proposal to remove the prematch toss at a meeting today. The proposal would see the away team decide if they wanted to bowl first then they could make the call. However if they wanted to bat first then a traditional toss would occur, Reuters reports. If the ECB go ahead with the proposal it will be trialled in a one-season experiment next year in the second division of the county championship. - NZME

Allenton chase elusive win By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Round four of the Pritchard Shield will see Allenton host Methven and Tech entertain Lauriston, while Coldstream have a bye. Lauriston are the only team in the competition with an unblemished record after posting wins over Lauriston B, Allenton and Methven, albeit by a nar-

Vote for night tests row margin last Saturday. The Lauriston faithful had to endure a nail-biting finish during their side’s latest victory. Methven were all out for a paltry 86 in the 33rd over, in reply, Lauriston were nine wickets down when they surpassed the total, but had lost their previous two wickets with the score tied for a nervy finish. In contrast, Tech stormed to a

nine-wicket win over Coldstream in their round three fixture. Coldstream were all out for a meagre 58 in the 21st over in a dismal display with the bat. Tech’s bowlers were in fine form, but Ben Mably played the role of chief destroyer, taking four for seven including a hattrick to mop-up the tail enders. The shield holders then chased down the modest target in the

12th over with Mably posting 32 as his side’s best with the bat. Following a bye last Saturday, Allenton will look to return to the fray with a win tomorrow after losing to Coldstream by five runs in round one and Lauriston by three wickets a fortnight ago. Saturday’s round four fixtures: Tech v Lauriston, Technical 1, 12.30pm. Allenton v Methven, Allenton 1, 12.30pm.

New Zealand camp may ring the changes New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum has floated the idea of changes in his team for tomorrow’s deciding third test against Australia. With the likelihood of key swing bowler Trent Boult being fit for the match, his troublesome back injury receding on the evidence of an impressive workout in the Adelaide Oval nets yesterday, there had been an expectation of an unchanged lineup for a match New Zealand must win to square the series. However McCullum raised eyebrows at his pre-test press conference yesterday by hinting strongly that change is in the pipeline. ‘’I wouldn’t think we’d name an unchanged team,” McCullum said. ‘’I think probably there will be

Spin legend Shane Warne has given Australian ball manufacturers Kookaburra a black eye, calling for the English Duke ball to be used in Australia. Kookaburra balls have been used exclusively by Australia since 1946, but have had big problems with bad batches of red balls in both the Brisbane and Perth tests. ‘’I believe the Duke ball that are used during the Ashes series should be used worldwide in test matches and all first-class cricket in Australia, especially on our hard pitches,’’ Warne said. - NZME

Skipper Brendon McCullum addresses the troops. some changes. “It’s just a case of working out what is the best balance heading into the test.”

One option McCullum may have in mind is playing a second spinner in the test, uncapped Northern Districts allrounder

Mitchell Santner. However that would be a big call in a clutch game and in unfamiliar circumstances of the first day-night test and with a pink ball. McCullum might have been suggesting a place for bustling left armer Neil Wagner in place of Matt Henry in a straight seamer swap. If McCullum and coach Mike Hesson suspect reverse swing might come into play, Wagner would be a decent call. Plus, he bowled well in Perth with the pink ball in the two-day game against a West Australian XI last weekend. Wagner’s inclusion, or indeed retaining four seamers, would also give a bit of cover in case Boult’s back flares up during the match. - NZME

Nine Network’s head of sport Steve Crawley can understand why some are reluctant about Test cricket’s step into the unknown. “They love Test cricket,” Crawley says. “We love Test cricket too. But you’ve got to grow numbers to be successful. This is Test cricket’s first chance in a long time to grow.” Nine have embraced that chance, doing a mountain of work with Cricket Australia to deliver the inaugural day-night Test. - AAP

Lyon wants to lead Two-and-a-half years ago, Nathan Lyon was dropped from Australia’s Test side. Now Lyon is not only the country’s most productive offspinner ever but a spiritual leader of Steve Smith’s side. Smith and David Warner may hold the official leadership posts but Lyon is the most experienced player entrenched in the side following Mitchell Johnson’s retirement. “You don’t need a label to be a leader,” Lyon said. “Big brother (Johnson) is gone so I guess I better step up a little bit more. - AAP

Wickets tumble Morne Morkel and Simon Harmer bamboozled India with pace and spin on a tricky wicket but South Africa also suffered early blows in the third Test in Nagpur yesterday. Off-spinner Harmer claimed 4-78 and fast bowler Morkel took 3-35 as the Proteas bowled India out for 215 in the post-tea session of the first day’s play. South Africa, seeking a series-levelling win, had plodded to 2-11 by stumps. - AFP

Meyer facing the red card? Steve Hansen will be concerned. His great mate Heyneke Meyer is under threat after four years as Springbok coach with strong suggestions former Stormers boss Allister Coetzee is in line to take over. Meyer has a test winning percentage around 67 per cent but defeat to Japan at the recent World Cup, another loss to the All Blacks in the semi-final and lack of trophies in the Springbok warchest have eaten into his support base. Meanwhile All Black coach Hansen and Meyer have struck up a friendship since they began their international head coaching duels four years ago and an arrangement where the loser of their clashes, pays for dinner. So far Hansen has opened his wallet once in eight tests against the Springboks.

What’s not to like about that arrangement and the continuing All Black supremacy against their old foes? Meyer has coached the Springboks in 48 tests for 32 wins with 14 losses and two draws while in the same period, Hansen has been at the All Blacks helm for 54 tests with three losses and two draws. The noise from South Africa is about Coetzee’s rise to take over after several earlier involvements. He was on the Bok staff in 2000 with Harry Viljoen, became a national selector in 2003 then assisted Jake White as backs coach from 2004-2007 when they won the World Cup. Coetzee was beaten by Peter de Villiers in the vote for the next Springbok coach then Meyer was promoted after the 2011 Rugby World Cup. - NZME

ITM on the outer Provincial rugby sponsor ITM has been red-carded from next year’s series. The company began its involvement in 2006, backing the national provincial series and the Heartland championship. That sponsorship rose to competitionnaming rights in 2010 when the company stepped up as major sponsor after the previous group withdrew. The ITM Cup, as it became known, started its six-season schedule. That deal ended this season but the company wanted to renew its sponsorship. ITM put in a bid but has been told by New Zealand Rugby that it has not been successful. - NZME

Fury serenades his rival in big-bout build-up Having previously dressed as Batman for a press conference, Tyson Fury employed more theatrics yesterday by turning to song in the latest round of mind-games with Wladimir Klitschko. World heavyweight champion Klitschko will defend his IBF, WBA and IBO titles against British challenger Fury in Dusseldorf on Saturday. Fury, 27, ran into a press conference last September dressed as Batman, then called Klitschko ‘a joker’ to his face, but he grabbed the microphone for his latest stunt. At a training event for the press at Dusseldorf airport, the 2.06m (6ft 9in) Fury seized the chance to show off his singing ability. He adapted the lyrics of the Bette Midler song ‘Wing Beneath My Wings’ to include the words “I’ll be the one with the belts”. “I was impressed,” said Klitschko. “If it was down to singing, I’d have no chance. “But things look different when it comes to boxing.” This is not the first time Fury has showed off his vocal prowess, having sung the same song when he beat Kevin Johnson of the USA in Belfast in December 2012. He also sang a different song in the ring after beating US boxer Steve Cunningham in New York in April 2013. Rod Stewart will sing before Saturday’s heavyweight bout in Dusseldorf and Fury wants to seek out the Scottish crooner for a duet if he beats Klitschko. “I will enchant the fans, perhaps with a duet with Rod Stewart,” Fury said. - AFP

The slow moving Japanese side is the biggest concern for new Sanzar boss Andy Marinos, but he has hinted that longer term, it may be the growing exodus of South African players that poses the bigger threat to Super Rugby. Marinos, a former Welsh international of South African extraction, takes over as chief executive of Sanzar in January, and his first tasks will be to guide the troubled Sunwolves and Southern Kings into the brave new world of Super 18. The former is still without a head coach. - NZME

Brother-sister at sevens? Sonny Bill Williams and his sister Niall could be shooting for gold at next year’s Rio Olympics. The younger Williams has taken the first step on the path to Rio with selection for the New Zealand women’s sevens squad for next weekend’s Dubai sevens, the opener for the world series circuit.

Stars’ Facebook battle The social media race is on between All Blacks’ World Cup winners Richie McCaw and Dan Carter to see who can attract the most Facebook likes. McCaw has only been on Facebook for a few weeks, after Carter finally convinced him to join the social media revolution in the wake of their World Cup final victory celebrations earlier this month. The recently retired All Blacks skipper was an instant hit, and has attracted almost 500,000 likes, but he has some work to do to catch up to Carter, who has 935,786 page likes. - NZME

F1 rejects alternative engine proposal By AlAn BAldwin Formula One manufacturers have agreed to come up with a plan to reduce the cost of power units and ensure no team is left without one after rejecting a proposal to introduce an alternative engine. World governing body FIA said there had been four credible expressions of interest from companies interested in supplying a

cheaper alternative engine from 2017. The proposal had, however, failed to win approval at meetings at FIA’s Paris headquarters. “The F1 Commission voted not to pursue this option at this stage - however, it may be reassessed after the power unit manufacturers have presented their proposal to the strategy group,” FIA said yesterday. It added the discussions in the strategy group, which includes

the six leading teams as well as commercial rights holder and governing body and wider Formula One commission, were constructive. Formula One has four engine makers - Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault and Honda, with the first two some way ahead of the others - supplying the 10 teams. “The parties involved have agreed on a course to address several key areas relating to pow-

er unit supply in Formula One,” FIA said. It listed the four main items as a guaranteed supply, a reduction of the cost for customer teams, simplification of the tech specification and improved noise. The current 1.6 litre V6 turbo hybrid power units were introduced last year to replace the old 2.4 litre V8s. While more fuel efficient, they are also far more complicated and expensive. - Reuters

Tomasi Cama is back. The vastly experienced former All Blacks Sevens rep is taking on a critical new role with both national sevens sides as the teams build to their most important season yet. The star playmaker will deliver performance analysis services to the All Blacks Sevens and New Zealand Women’s sevens coaches and players. “It’s fantastic that we can tap into his vast knowledge of the game, especially over the crucial eight months ahead as we prepare for the Olympics,” said Tony Philp, New Zealand High Performance Sevens Manager. - NZME

■ LONGBEACH CHALLENGE

Entries record-breaking By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The Longbeach Challenge broke the 1000 mark as online entries went “mad” on Wednesday evening, said event co-ordinator Angela Cushnie. The total tally rose to 1144, as runners, cyclists and walkers prepare to take on their chosen courses on Sunday. The event, which was the brainchild of Colin Fleming, is co-ordinated by a team of volunteers from the parents of Longbeach School and members of the Hinds and Districts Lions Club. Since its inception as a mountain-bikeonly event in 2007, the Challenge has grown rapidly from 270 participants in its inaugural year. This year’s event boasts new tracks for the 5km and 12km run/walk events and new sections of track for the 21km run and 23km and 35km mountain bike course. Cyclists will have a choice of a 35km cross country race, a 23km recreational ride and a 12km family recreational ride, while the runners and walkers will contend with either a 21km off-road half-marathon, a 12km Longbeach Estate recreational run or latitude scenic walk or the 3.5km recreational run or scenic walk. Fleming, who used to farm in the area, believes the introduction of the walk and running courses has been a major catalyst in the Challenge’s growth, and what sets it apart from other events. “It came in about three of four years ago and I think the run, walk has given people the choices that they didn’t have before,” he said. “The event could not be held without the co-operation of the local landowners, and I think it just promotes our county so well. “That’s number one for me, and it is always the participation of people that’s most important for me.” With participants ranging from Commonwealth Games gold medallist Anton Cooper to complete novices, Fleming believes the diversity of the event’s entries, as well as the courses’ scenery, is unique and something the region should be proud of. “Some of those mountain ones are just too hard for some people, whereas our one, it’s got hard parts in it, like the 35km ride, but the rest of it can be as challenging as you like,” he said. “It’s made for anybody who’s prepared to get out and do something. “It’s just a small challenge for them.”

Juventus joined Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and Benfica in clinching qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League while Manchester United squandered their opportunity to join them yesterday. Mario Mandzukic turned in Alex Sandro’s cross to give Juve a 1-0 win over Manchester City in Turin and ensure that the Italian champions joined the English club in qualifying from Group D with one round remaining. City had secured their progress before the game but the defeat leaves them two points behind Juventus with one match remaining and therefore staring at the prospect of facing a tougher last-16 draw.- AFP

Retired triple jumper Piyi Devetzi could be stripped of her Olympic silver and bronze medals after Greece’s track and field federation (SEGAS) said yesterday she had failed a doping test. “The international federation (IAAF) informed SEGAS that Piyi Devetzi re-tested positive on a sample taken in 2007,” SEGAS said in a statement. “Following this development the federation has opened disciplinary proceedings against her.” - Reuters

Reds nab Tongan Thor Kiwi teenage sensation Taniela Tupou, nicknamed the Tongan Thor, has been confirmed in the Reds’ Super Rugby squad for next season. The Sacred Heart College Auckland product moved to Australia two years ago with the hope of playing for the Wallabies. The 135kg Tupou has lived up to his hype in Queensland, turning heads for Queensland Country in Australia’s National Rugby Championship where he scored three tries in six matches this year. - AAP

Sun setting on Kobe? While Stephen Curry looks forward to more record-breaking exploits on the horizon, the sun is setting rapidly on Kobe Bryant. As a study in contrasting fortunes, it doesn’t get much starker than the chasm that separated Curry and the Golden State Warriors as they romped past Bryant and the hapless Los Angeles Lakers this week. The 27-year-old reigning NBA MVP Curry was his usual bewitching self in a 111-77 blowout, scoring 24 points as Golden State entered the record books to seal the longest unbeaten start to a season in history at 16-0. - AFP PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 261115-TM-027

completing a hat-trick, and taking the momentum into 2016. “Last year, this place brought probably the most intense weekend of my life,” said Hamilton. “I didn’t sleep much through nerves and not knowing what was ahead, but this time around there’s no pressure so I’ll be wellrested and aiming to go out on a high. “I really enjoy driving here.

“It’s a challenging circuit. There are a couple of high-speed corners, but it’s mostly medium to low speed, so despite the long straights you need to set the car up with a down-force level tuned for low speed grip. “It’s also a twilight race, starting late afternoon and running into the night, which is quite unusual and, I imagine, must be pretty cool to watch on TV.” - AFP

Spieth feels the heat Jordan Spieth has spluttered his way through the first round of his Australian Open title defence, doing just enough to stay in touch with the early leaders in hot, windy conditions. The world No.1 got off to a fast start when he opened on the 10th hole at The Australian with a birdie but never got better than two-underpar at any point before posting an even-par 71 yesterday. He missed a birdie putt on the par-4 sixth and struggled to replicate anything like the form that won him two major titles this year. - AAP

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): As you tend to your life consciously you will be aware of much going on with your subconscious. Your inner world is active, speaking to you with clarity hard to ignore. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You won’t feel motivated today, but you’ll do it anyway. Sometimes it frustrates you that others don’t share your sense of duty, but appreciate how this sets you apart as a leader. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ll get as much attention as you give. Enjoy this rare moment of perfect mutuality and balanced affections. You can relax into the idea that fair is fair. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The day will be shaped by the age-old question of what to eat. The same foods can be made in hundreds of ways. There are more than a few people who like the way you make it best! LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You may feel agreeing with those around you is part of your job. It is easier than disagreeing. Today it won’t serve your project when you know there’s something wrong in the plan. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You might be initially stumped by today’s relationship problem. Don’t give up. What seems difficult will be rather simple when you’re willing to try another angle. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There’s such a natural, easy pace going with what you’re doing now. It’s nice when you can make progress without pushing yourself or anyone else. Bonus: You’ve increased immunity to stress and illness. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Figure out what you want before the discussion. People will listen to what you say and take you quite literally. Now is a time to be very careful about how you word things. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Henry David Thoreau suggested a person “beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.” What you’re planning is in the category, but all will be well as long as you don’t forget the “old you”. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): If you can do it just about as easily as another person could, don’t involve the other person. This is a time for reminding everyone just how independent you are. You’ll be about as happy as you are self-reliant. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re tougher than you’ve been allowed to prove. It might help you now to think of yourself as solid from the ground up — no shortcuts, no alloys. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your water-sign nature will connect you with a social tide. You might not like where it’s headed, but swimming against it will tire you out. Besides, there’s an opportunity here.

Ashburton Rowing Club president Justin Wall is expecting the largest turnout yet for the regatta.

Regatta set to be biggest yet BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The 2015 Ashburton Rowing Club’s regatta will be the biggest yet, with more than 600 rowers set to take to Lake Hood this weekend. Club president Justin Wall said a steady flow of late entries com-

ing in since Monday has boosted the number of participants considerably. “So far we’ve gone through 595 entries and we’ll probably have over 600 by the time it’s finished, which is a colossal regatta,” said Wall. The Ashburton regatta will offer

a perfect opportunity for crews to fine-tune their performances ahead of the upcoming regional regattas. “It’s an opportunity for the schools and the clubs to try out different combinations and their new rowers before they head in to Ruataniwha,” he said.

Wall said he is confident that the local rowers will perform very well this weekend and credited all involved for their help in preparing for the large attendance. “We take it for granted that this place (Lake Hood) has always been here, but it hasn’t.

“We’re extremely lucky to have this facility,” he said. “I’d like to express the thanks from the club for the efforts put in by the ACL staff for trying to get the road finished and prepared for the regatta, the work they’ve been doing is sterling, especially in this heat.”

Kiwi quick Boult likely starter for third Test BY STEVE LARKIN New Zealand expect paceman Trent Boult to overcome a back injury and play in the third Test

against Australia starting tomorrow. Boult was to face a final fitness test at training last night but his captain Brendon McCullum be-

lieves the left-armer will be declared fit for the inaugural daynight Test match. “Trent bowled yesterday in the nets and bowled with good pace

as well,” McCullum told reporters yesterday. “He pulled up well today and we’ll obviously see how he goes tonight, and we will be able to

name a team later on.” Australia hold a one-nil lead entering the series finale to be played with experimental pink balls. - AAP
