Gangs face off in Netherby park

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ten people armed with axes, baseball bats, and golf clubs, were arrested following a violent gang brawl in Ashburton yesterday.

Armed police responded to multiple reports from members of the public of a gang brawl at a park on Davis Crescent yesterday afternoon.

One person required hospitalisation and others received minor injuries during the stoush, which police believe was between rival gang associates.

Members of the public who contacted the Guardian reported seeing as many as six police cars racing to the scene.

According to police, two groups

had arranged to meet at the park and began fighting with various weapons, including an axe, baseball bats, golf clubs, and sticks.

While the specific gangs were yet to be identified, Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield confirmed one faction was wearing red while the other was wearing blue.

Ten people have so far been arrested in relation to the incident, he said.

“They have all been charged with taking part in a riot, that is the most fitting charge at this time while our investigations continue,” he said.

All of those arrested were “battered and bruised”, while one person was taken by ambulance, escorted by police, from the police station to Ashburton Hospital with head in-

juries. Mr Banfield believed at least two people had managed to evade police at the scene, and inquiries as to who they were and what their involvement was are continuing.

Most of the offenders were known to Ashburton police, he said.

Two vehicles were also confiscated from the scene as part of the investigation.

The two groups had to be separated, with some of those involved appearing in the Timaru District Court this morning, while others will appear in the Christchurch District Court.

“We want the public to know we dealt with it quite quickly and swiftly, and they’re in jail,” Mr Banfield said.

Author in state over sequel

David Lagercrantz has revealed he wrote the highly anticipated sequel to Stieg Larsson’s best-selling Millennium crime trilogy in a manic depressive state amid controversy over the decision to continue the series. “I’ve been terrified ... and I used to say that I was bipolar, manic depressive all the time and I think it was kind of a good thing to write” in this condition, he told reporters.

The Girl in the Spider’s Web, which goes on sale in 25 countries this week and in the US on September 1, picks up the trail of tattooed computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist. “I was not the easiest person to live with because I was thinking about it all the time. I’m scared to death that I won’t live up to” Larsson, who died suddenly of a heart attack in 2004 at age 50, before the series gained global fame.

Spain’s tomato fight festival turns 70 Some 22,000 people have celebrated the 70th edition of Spain’s La Tomatina tomato battle, armed with a recordbreaking 150,000kg of tomatoes. Lasting an hour, the streets of the eastern city of Bunol were saturated with vibrant red tomato juice as part of the jovial festival that has achieved worldwide fame. This year’s La Tomatina was the third edition to charge an entrance fee and the second to limit the capacity to 22,000, while it at one time hosted as many as 45,000 people.

Bachelor NZ house damaged by fire The Auckland mansion where The Bachelor NZ contestants lived was damaged during filming when a candle was left unattended and started a fire. The New Zealand Herald has learned that the owners of the mansion, in a gated community in Karaka, are working with the show’s production company Warner Bros to “resolve” the incident. Warner Bros’ legal representative Philippa Rennie made it clear the owners had not taken any formal action against the entertainment giant.

“While we were filming at the property, there was a small fire in one area of the house caused by an unattended candle,” she said.

Ralston may run for council Media personality Bill Ralston says he is seriously looking at running for a seat on Auckland Council next year. Yesterday morning he tweeted: “I’m considering running for the Waitemata ward as an independent. One of the reasons I want to stand is that I can see this council is basically in a state of paralysis on so many issues,” Ralston told the New Zealand Herald. “I have never seen an outfit so unsuited to the task they have been given with the Super City. There is a whole pile of big issues they don’t seem to be making a call on. They are running around like headless chooks,” said Ralston, who highlighted the city rail link and port expansion as two examples.

Another issue of interest to the Freemans Bay resident is light rail and building on the success of the Northern busway. On rates, Ralston said he did not think the idea of rating Aucklanders to pay for some of the things above was going to work. “They are reaching the point of actual rates revolt frankly,” he said.

Underwater wedding Kimberly Triolet and Jorge Rodriguez exchanged their wedding vows underwater beside a 2.7m statue of Jesus Christ. The Miami couple were wed beneath the waves Wednesday (NZ time) to help mark the 50th anniversary of the installation of the Christ of the Deep statue. The bronze sculpture is a subsea icon in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. For the traditional wedding kiss, the bride and groom removed their scuba breathing mouthpieces. The statue was submerged about 7.5m deep off of Key Largo on August 25, 1965. It became a symbol for Key Largo’s John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, created in 1960 as America’s first underwater preserve. It is now part of the sanctuary. The statue is a replica of the Italian Christ of the Abyss that was placed in a shallow bay near Portofino, Italy, in 1954.

■ ANGER MANAGEMENT SERVICE

Good, but things could be better

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

In the wake of Relationships Aotearoa’s closure a new provider has stepped up to provide anger management services.

The national counselling and relationship education service provider closed its doors amidst a whirlwind of controversy earlier this year and went into interim liquidation two months ago after funding negotiations with the Government failed.

Its closure left a gaping hole

in Ashburton’s services, but part of that gap has now been filled with the arrival of Stopping Violence Services.

A Christchurch-based anger management service, Stopping Violence Services is an accredited Domestic Violence Approved provider. Clinical director Pete Darrell said the service has been operating in Ashburton for just under a month.

It runs twice a week, with two staff making the trip down from Christchurch. “Currently we are

providing services to Ministry of Justice and Corrections,” Mr Darrell said.

He said the service would like to look at being in Ashburton for the long term, but changes need to take place prior to that.

“We are not able to provide services to non-mandated clients, in other words self-referrals because we don’t currently have any funding to do so,” Mr Darrell said.

“We would like to provide more services, but we are just

governed by funding.”

Restorative Justice co-ordinator Toni Sowman said while she was happy the service is here, it was not of benefit to everyone.

“I am still keen and I am stoked that they’re here, at least we have something here,” she said.

For Ms Sowman’s clients, the service is not free, as they are non-mandated.

Previously Restorative Justice would make referrals to Relationships Aotearoa and the de-

fendants would commence their counselling prior to going to court for sentencing, she said.

But due to a lack of funding, people have to pay if they are to self-refer.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) said if people required additional support from services once provided by Relationships Aotearoa, they should contact Lifeline who can put them in touch with agencies in their area.

Five-storey fall; worker critical A construction worker who fell five storeys down a lift shaft at an Auckland supermarket building site yesterday was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.

“It could have been any one of us,” said a worker at the scene of the Countdown Cider Building development on the corner of Pollen Street and Williamson Avenue in Ponsonby.

“It’s horrible”.

Staff at the site were sent home for the day after the fall that happened about 9.40am.

Fire Service spokesman Scott Osmond said a construction worker fell more than 15 metres down a lift shaft. “He fell about five storeys. We assisted ambulance with extrication of the patient.”

Three WorkSafe NZ investigators

were on the scene, which another worker described as being as safe as any site he’d worked on.

A spokeswoman for Progressive Enterprises, the company Countdown is part of, said in a statement: “We were very concerned to hear about an incident at the Ponsonby site today.

“We take health and safety seriously and are discussing this incident with the site development contractor.”

A manager from that firm, Ebert Construction, said the incident was under investigation and it was co-operating with officials. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured man and his family at this time,” said Ron Macdonald, Ebert’s northern region general manager.

A man who caught a thief breaking into his work vehicle red-handed and reacted furiously by punching him unconscious was yesterday ordered to pay compensation for the “totally disproportionate” attack.

Ethan Annett, 21, had been at a party in Christchurch’s Matipo Street at about 10.40pm on May 9 when a mate told him his work vehicle was being broken in to.

He and a co-offender charged off down the street and found two men standing near the work vehicle on Dallas Street.

Both suspected thieves were set upon by Annett and his co-offender in a flurry of punches.

One man was knocked unconscious.

Both victims were rushed to hospital via ambulance.

Annett appeared at Christchurch District Court yesterday for sentencing after earlier pleading guilty to an assault charge.

Defence counsel Kerry Cook said that although Annett was remorseful, he noted that the “totally disproportionate” incident would not have happened if someone had not been breaking in to his vehicle - Annett’s “only asset”.

A 19-year-old co-offender had earlier been sentenced and ordered to pay $600 in emotional harm repayment.

Judge John Strettell today saw no reason why Annett shouldn’t be treated any differently.

He convicted him on the assault charge and ordered him to $600 compensation to his victim.

In brief

A chance for talented children to shine

Murder accused bailed The man accused of murdering a Christchurch toddler last month has been granted bail.

The 22-year-old Christchurch resident with interim name suppression denies assaulting and killing 15-month-old Ihaka Paora Braxton Stokes on July 3.

He had been remanded in custody after his arrest. After an earlier bail hearing at the High Court in Christchurch, Justice David Gendall yesterday said that the man could be released on bail, subject to strict conditions. Details of the bail hearing are suppressed.

Ihaka suffered multiple blunt force injuries including broken bones in the alleged assault at a house in Truman Road, Bryndwr. He died at Christchurch Hospital shortly afterwards. A case review hearing for the man will be held at the High Court on October 2. - NZME

For over 90 years, the Ashburton Society of the Performing Arts has been giving talented children the opportunity to shine.

This Saturday the society will once again stage its annual vocal and instrumental competitions, which has attracted 35 participants.

The performers are aged from eight to 18, and will perform a range of items before judges at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

President Deanna Watson said it was exciting to see a high number of young pianists had entered this year.

Convenor Jeanette Currie said getting up on stage at the event centre was a special experience for the young musicians and singers.

“It gives our local kids a chance to perform in public and get feedback from an impartial person, and at the event centre they just love being on stage. It’s all about giving kids the opportunity to grow, and the experience.”

Ladybank School of Music teacher Barbara Thomas, who offers private tuition at Ashburton Intermediate School, said the competition was an annual highlight for her pupils.

“They look forward to it every year,” Ms Thomas said.

Workplace death Police and Worksafe NZ are investigating the death of a 58-year-old Oamaru man at North Otago Truck Repairs yesterday.

Sergeant Tony Woodbridge, of Oamaru, said emergency services were called to a “work-related accident” near Waiareka Junction about 4.30pm. When emergency services arrived at the Weston Road business, the man involved in the accident had died, he said.

The death has been referred to the coroner.

Fonterra ‘needs to change’ By nadine Porter

nadine.P@theguardian.co.nz

The New Zealand agricultural sector and Fonterra in particular must concentrate on premiums, have no room for commodities and need to take more risk, according to former Minister of Finance Ruth Richardson.

Speaking to the Rural Business Network at Methven Resort on Wednesday, the Synlait and Merino New Zealand director was particularly scathing of Fonterra and its governance.

“The performance of the New Zealand dairy sector is a home grown scandal where we take milk, dumb it down and shove it on a global market as a commodity.”

She called for Fonterra to “ditch” the spot market and to change its governance model from primarily a farmer dictated board to a 50/50 farmer/ independent split.

Ms Richardson said Fonterra has squandered “too many

Former Minister of Finance Ruth Richardson was scathing of Fonterra when talking to the Rural Business Network in Methven this week.

opportunities” including the grass fed premium contract Mr Munchkin from the United States was offering – which Synlait then snapped up.

“The management team have shown they are more invested in feathering their own nest than they are serious about knowing the customer.”

Following on from the Trans

Pacific Partnership “headwinds” where the Canadians want to keep up to 300 per cent tariffs on beef imports, Ms Richardson said she was shocked to see Fonterra announcing a 50 cent per share loan to “prop up the milk price”.

Ms Richardson equated Fonterra’s move to taking New Zealand back to supplementary minimum prices and thinking we can defy market forces.

The board had raided future capital to prop up the milk price and if she had been a dividend holder Ms Richardson said she would have been “brassed off ”.

At the heart of the problem lies our business structures and in particular our co-operative structure, she said.

“The problems New Zealanders have is that they are so captive of the status quo. We think the co-operative is a religion we should adhere to whether it delivers the goods or not, that we are blinded to the reality.”

Agri-business co-operatives were suffering from crippling

structural deficiencies that condemn products to being commodities because the co-op had to satisfy all suppliers, she said.

“There are confused property rights and most co-op shareholders don’t value their shareholdings, they just value the price they get. There is very blurred lines between business and political accountability … most worryingly of all is that there is no imperative to be at the premium end of the scale.”

The loudest voices in the wake of the dairy slump measured performance by milk price alone and not by how well their co-operative was doing and how well it was employing its capital, she said.

She questioned why it was not New Zealand’s ambition to be the great commodity producer of the world.

“We are not ambitious enough. We are not moon shooting. We need to take a lot of risk and we need to make really big bets on the future.”

A Kiwi is in hospital after being attacked by an orangutan in Indonesia. Binula Wickramarachchi, 27, from New Zealand, was among a group of tourists who were trekking in the Bukit Lawang resort area in Langkat regency, North Sumatra when they were attacked by the ape, The Jakarta Post reported. Manager of the Sumatra Orangutan Observation Centre in Bukit Lawang, Riswan Bangun said Mr Wickramarachchi was currently being treated at the Colombia Hospital in Medan. “The victim was bitten on his right knee,” Mr Riswan told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday. Mr Bangun said the attack might have been committed by a 38-year-old wild orangutan named Minah who was earlier kept as a pet by a resident.

Handbag snatched An elderly woman’s handbag was snatched yesterday at almost exactly the same spot a similar attack went horribly wrong and left good samaritan Lucy Knight with a fractured skull. About 2.15pm a woman in her 70s had her bag taken after she got out of her car at the Northcote shops in Auckland and made her way to the Countdown supermarket.

The offender crept up behind her and pushed her to the ground.

He took her bag and ran towards the library, a police spokeswoman said last evening. Police officers flooded the area and the eagle helicopter was called in to search, but the offender is still on the run.

The shaken woman was treated at the scene and driven home by police. She would be offered victim support, the spokeswoman said.

CIB officers were now investigating and were checking any available CCTV footage.

Labour leader Andrew Little discusses the impact of the dairy downturn during a visit to Ashburton yesterday.

■ LABOUR LEADER IN ASHBURTON

Little criticises Govt over dairy

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

The government misled New Zealanders over the impact of the dairy downturn, estimated to cost the Ashburton District over $500 million this season, claims Labour leader Andrew Little.

Mr Little made a whirlwind visit to the district yesterday to tour Synlait and see first-hand the effects of the dairy price slump.

He criticised the government’s alleged lack of honesty with the public – a claim strongly denied by Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy. Figures released to the Guardian by Mr Little show that the Ashburton District could be hit with $543,681,600 in lost income this season compared to the 2013/14 season.

He’s calling on both banks and the agricultural sector to step up and show leadership during the downturn to support farmers and sharemilkers who are hurting. “The farmers, the ones who own the farmland, many are heavily indebted, the banks will work with them,” he said.

“But for sharemilkers who have only

got their herd to deal with, we’ve got to make sure that they’re supported too, that the banks that they’re banking with are going to support them through the low prices as well.”

The level of downturn took many people by surprise, he believed.

“The government should have been more honest with New Zealanders, and particularly with the farming community,” he said.

“Saying, ‘the conditions aren’t looking good, we’re going to have to brace ourselves, and by the way, here’s some things we’re going to do as a government to either cushion the impact or lead us down a different path’.”

However Mr Guy has hit back at Mr Little’s claims, saying the government has been investing around $300 million a year into research and development in the primary sector, helping to develop new value-added products and diversify the economy.

“Mr Little’s comments are way off the mark and shows how little he knows about what is happening in the primary sector,” he said.

Voluntary euthanasia inquiry Details have been confirmed for an inquiry into voluntary euthanasia, to be carried out by Parliament’s health committee.

Supporters hope the inquiry will be an important step towards a law change.

In releasing the terms of reference, National MP Simon O’Connor, the health committee chair, said the subject would concern many New Zealanders and as such deserved a thorough examination.

Yesterday’s announcement comes after a petition from the Voluntary Euthana-

sia Society by supporters including Matt Vickers, the husband of the late Lecretia Seales.

The Wellington lawyer was unsuccessful in seeking a High Court ruling that would let her doctor help her die without criminal prosecution.

“The petitioners are requesting changes to laws that would make it possible for people to end their lives, or have others do so, under certain conditions. To ensure a thorough investigation, the select committee decided to undertake a broad inquiry,” Mr O’Connor said.

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

Events lucrative for district

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Out of town tournaments at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre will pump millions of dollars each year into the Ashburton District’s economy, says its manager Steve Prescott.

While the complex has been in business for less than four months, he is fielding inquiries almost daily from sports groups wanting to book court space for regional and national events.

He has yet to start actively chasing bookings, but said the level of unsolicited inquiry indicated there would be plenty of business coming the centre’s way.

Next week 24 basketball

teams from around the South Island will pack into the stadium during a South Island Secondary Schools’ tournament and in October secondary school netballers will be on court. Ashburton is also in the running to host the 2018 national indoor bowls championships, he said.

With each major event held in the stadium, there was a huge spin-off for the district, Mr Prescott said.

“We want to get the events but it’s much more than that, it’s people who will come in and spend money on accommodation, meals and retail, it has a huge on-going effect for our economy.”

For him, the juggling act

comes in balancing the big ticket bookings that will run for several days against the regular bookings from local sporting codes.

“We’re getting inquiries on almost a daily basis now but we’ve got the locals who’re wanting to use it too and we don’t want to disrupt them too often either. At the moment with national tournaments we’re in a holding pattern, catching our breath rather than chasing them but they’re coming to us.”

Demand for court space from local user groups was high and rising across a range of sporting codes, he said While most of that demand could be met, Mr Prescott be-

lieves the two outdoor warmup courts may need to be brought under cover far sooner than anticipated.

“Mid Canterbury Netball has already made it clear they want to increase their numbers using covered courts, but they know they have to be careful not to push too far too quickly.”

If demand continues at the same rate Mr Prescott estimated there would need to be a discussion around roofing the two outdoor courts within two or three years.

The centre’s pool is also starting to receive inquiry for short course events and will hold the South Island Masters championships on September 18 and 19.

Supermarket first in SI to ride digital wave

One Mid Canterbury supermarket has become the first of its kind in the South Island to ride the digital wave.

Tinwald SuperValue is the first SuperValue supermarket to switch from the paper shelf tags to much sleeker, electronic versions.

Owners Gaylene and Paul Thompson have looked after the store for 11 years and started introducing the tags around a month ago.

“We’re trying to eliminate all the paper,” said Mr Thompson.

They started in one specific area and are planning to have the whole store tagged by Christmas.

“I’ve been wanting to do produce for ages because we do a lot of price changes, even for a little store,” Mr Thompson said.

There is a mobile app that can be used to update the prices, and installation is easy enough, Mrs Thompson said.

The tags come in two types – the more expensive e-paper tags which are larger in size and cost around $15 and the

Through their mayoral forum, mayors from across Canterbury have developed a strategy that has produced action plans for the future across seven work programmes.

The Canterbury Regional Economic Development Strategy will be launched in Christchurch by minister for economic development Steven Joyce.

Mr Thompson estimated it would take 9000 tags to deck out the store – at a total cost

of around $67,500.

However with a 10-year life span, and a decent amount of time saved, it’s worth it, he said.

“This is far easier, they can’t be moved, taken out, or dropped,” Mrs Thompson said.

The feedback from customers has been positive, they said.

“When I got home I almost crashed the car.

“That was my first worry ... she’s all right; she’s a bit frantic.”

Crews from Arrowtown, Frankton and Queenstown were called to the property, in Arrow Junction Road, about 6.15pm after one of Mr Jacobs’ tenants, who lives in an adjoining flat, smelled smoke.

“They think it might have been the computer, or something in the office anyway, but ... I was only out for, like, 20

Mr Jacobs, was grateful he was insured and that his smoke alarms had worked.

While there was likely to be extensive smoke and water damage to the property, Mr Jacobs planned on staying last night with his friends at a bed and breakfast they’d hired.

Two Nelson renters are lucky to be alive after a fire started in the lounge of their two storey house on Wednesday night. Firefighters were alerted to the Hardy Street East property by a 111 call at around 10.30 after the tenants, who were watching TV upstairs, smelled smoke coming from the downstairs room. “All the clothes, and paper and kindling and firewood were all stacked around a freestanding fireplace and had caught on fire.” Says senior station officer Craig Davies. “There was also a clothesline strung across the top of the fireplace which had failed and clothes had dropped onto the fireplace and caught on fire.”

Crash teen named A Dunedin teenager who died in a crash in Aoraki Mt Cook National Park on Monday has been named by police. Rebecca Louise Townshend, 18, was a passenger in a black Toyota hatchback which police think left Tasman Valley Road at a slight bend and rolled early on Monday morning. Senior Constable Les Andrew said there were three women in the car at the time of the crash, and it was possible the driver was distracted, or tired.

In brief

Biodiversity officer needed

BY MICHELLE NELSON

it should be done professionally, Mrs Smith said.

The Plains Drylands Vegetation Survey Report, carried out between 2011 and 2014 surveyed 642 sites on public roadsides in the Ashburton District east of the Scenic Highway.

Of the 642 sites, 108 have been deemed significant due to the vegetation present and their preservation is a key action in the Ashburton District Biodiversity Action Plan.

This project is an example of where a biodiversity officer could make a difference, Mrs Smith said. Working to protect and raise awareness of the critically endangered black billed gull colony in the Ashburton River was another.

Forest & Bird member Val Clemens and Mrs Smith have tweaked a job description for the position obtained from another district.

This has now been circulated around the biodiversity working group, and at the next meeting it will be presented to the council.

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A fulltime biodiversity officer is required to protect sensitive areas in the Ashburton district, a Forest & Bird spokesperson says.

The position has been vacant since earlier this year, when Jess Hill vacated the post.

Ashburton Forest & Bird president Edith Smith said it was vital to reinstate the position to safeguard the district’s biodiversity.

“Jess formed relationships with farmers to encourage them to set up covenant areas or protect sensitive areas.

It takes a while to convince people to do that,” Mrs Smith said.

The Ashburton District Council’s biodiversity committee has made considerable ground, but a biodiversity officer would connect with a wider range of people and interest groups.

“I understand that ECan plans to put an overseer in place to look at biodiversity –

Edith Smith

perhaps somebody specialised, but we really believe it’s time the district council came to the party.”

Mrs Smith said the right person for the job would ideally have a relevant degree and a strong interest in biodiversity.

“The planners are busy planning and even though they want to control the biodiversity sector, because it’s a very important part of the Resource Management Act, they are not

experts in that field,” she said.

“We’ve got a bit of work to do on the funding, but there is some reluctance.

“But there is biodiversity funding available in all sorts of places – we think the position could be partially funded by the council and the rest sourced elsewhere. This has happened in other areas.”

Forest & Bird members are working hard in many areas advocating for biodiversity but

The death of a mountain biker on one of Rotorua’s famed trails has rocked mountain biking enthusiasts. Now the community is being asked to track down the two people who found Cole Walker, 20, of Tauranga, who was critically injured on Saturday. He was found 50m from the top of Pigeon Run, a Grade 5 trail (advanced) in the core network of the Whakarewarewa Forest. He died in Waikato Hospital on Wednesday.

Serco inquiry The extension of an official investigation into organised prisoner fights at Mt Eden prison highlights the depth of problems “with the Serco circus”, says the MP whose revelations have plagued the private company.

It was announced yesterday that the terms of reference and timeframe for the chief inspector of Corrections’ investigation have been extended due to the number of issues raised at the facility, run by private company Serco until the government seized control last month. Labour Corrections spokesman Kelvin Davis has made public allegations over the running of the prison and said yesterday the extension “shows the extent of problems within the Serco circus”.

OUR VIEW

Buy local, support locals Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he age-old message to buy local is more important now than it has been for many years.

There is no doubt parts of our economy are slowing as many farms and the businesses that support them minimise or reorient their spending to weather the months-long downturn.

Many local businesses are doing what they can to help the farmers and support services who helped them while dairy prices were strong, to keep working through the dairy price slump.

They’ve been doing what they’re doing on the quiet, not seeking publicity for their generous discounts, lowered prices and extended credit. They will be rewarded with more business when things improve.

So as many parts of our consumer economy refocus to help keep local businesses afloat – and local workers in jobs – it is disappointing to learn many people turn their backs on their district.

We all know someone who saves their “big shop” for a trip to Timaru or Christchurch and we are all familiar with the great line of vehicles that snakes its way out of town on the weekend.

Ironically, many in that line of vehicles are sign-written company cars, supplied by local businesses who support their staff by letting them use the company fuel card on their days off.

For other local businesses, insult has been added to longrunning injury by a new report that suggested Timaru was enjoying a retail boom on the back of shoppers from Ashburton and Oamaru.

This would have horrified local apparel stores and others who are feeling discretionary spending tighten. It would also have horrified those who work for them and who want to keep working.

Because that is the point: local people need local businesses to work because they rely on them for their livelihoods. Supporting them means supporting our community through tough times.

A nice kind of wake-up call

B

oy did I get a slap in the face with the reality stick in the weekend!

I had the honour of being MC and auctioneer (which I am no good at) at the 27 Dresses fundraiser for Sarah Clifford and the other ladies from Canbead.

It was a great night that raised a heap of money for a great cause.

I jumped on board with the theme and wore an old woollen suit, that Christine from the Red Cross shop loaned me.

Cutting a long story short, two fires on and lights on the stage at Aeroview and I was quietly impersonating a slow-cooker inside the suit.

At halftime I ventured outside for some fresh air to cool down a bit and got yakking to a

couple of ladies from the crowd who were doing the same.

Just as I was about to launch into a bleat about roasting inside my thick and heavy suit, one of the ladies (fanning her face) said, “Man this chemo treatment I’m on at the moment makes me hot one minute and freezing the next.”

As you know it’s hard for us blokes to multi-task, but I did my best to blurt out something sympathetic and supportive, while at the same time PULLING MY HEAD IN.

There was no dwelling on it though, this very brave lady quickly moved on to talking about how great the night was going.

Sarah and the team that organised the night did a marvellous job and I’m so glad I donated some of my time and was part a successful night.

The total raised last Saturday night was $7000. Huge!

Rugby challenge One of the lads in the Friday Poker Club has come up with a challenge I thought I would pass on.

For the record, the FPC is a group of eight local gentlemen who take it in turns to host an evening of poker, hydrating, eating and verbal diarrhoea.

Above I have listed the 44 players who have been part of the All Blacks this year. I want you to put a tick beside the 31 players you think the All Black selectors will name this Sunday evening that will make up the World Cup squad. It will be interesting to compare notes after the announcement.

Good luck!

Till next week.

■ UNITED STATES

In brief

Shooter was volatile, angry Even after gunning down a TV news reporter and cameraman during a live interview, Vester Lee Flanagan II continued to rage. But after a volatile career that had seen him fired at least twice for clashing with coworkers who recall him as an off-kilter loner, this would be the former broadcaster’s last, brutal sign-off.

“I’ve been a human powder keg for a while...just waiting to go BOOM!!!” Flanagan wrote in a rambling 23-page note faxed to ABC News soon after the shooting.

Hours after he shot his former co-workers and then posted video of the attack to his Facebook page, Flanagan crashed a vehicle and shot himself. He died at a hospital later, authorities said.

In the note, Flanagan — who had appeared on air using the name Bryce Williams — said he’d suffered discrimination both for being black and gay. He listed grievances dating to the 2007 mass shooting at Virginia Tech and the more recent mas-

m

sacre of worshippers at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina.

When Flanagan was fired from Roanoke, Virginia, station WDBJ in 2013, he had to be escorted from the building by police “because he was not going to leave willingly or under his own free will,” the station’s former news director, Dan Dennison, said in an interview with a Hawaiian news station.

Flanagan, 41, had “a long series of complaints against coworkers nearly from the beginning of employment at the TV station,” said Dennison, now an official with the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources. “All of these allegations were deemed to be unfounded,” he said, adding that the station foun “no evidence that anyone had racially discriminated against this man.”

The victims of yesterday’s shooting — reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27 — were white; Flanagan was black.

The conflict described by

Vester Lee Flanagan

Dennison echoed another, in 2000, when Flanagan was fired from a Tallahassee, Florida, television station after threatening fellow employees, a former supervisor said.

Flanagan “was a good on-air performer, a pretty good reporter and then things started getting a little strange with him,” Don Shafer, the former news director of Florida’s WTWC-TV, said yesterday. He spoke in an interview broadcast

by Shafer’s current employer, San Diego 6 The CW. Shafer Flanagan was fired because of his “bizarre behavior.”

“He threatened to punch people out and he was kind of running fairly roughshod over other people in the newsroom,” said Shafer, who did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press for comment.

Kimberly Moore Wilmoth, who worked with Flanagan at the Florida station, recalled him as “off-kilter” and someone who “never really made himself part of the team.”

Wilmoth recalled an incident when workers meant to tease Flanagan for a story he did on a spelling bee that made it sound as if the winner would get a case of Girl Scouts, rather than Girl Scout cookies.

“The next day, somebody had a Girl Scout emblem on their desk and we made some copies of it and taped them to his computer,” she said. “If he had only laughed, we would have all been friends forever. But he didn’t - AP laugh ... he got mad.”

China detains 11 over deadly explosion Chinese prosecutors have detained 11 government officials and company executives over a massive warehouse explosion that killed at least 139 people in the country’s worst industrial disaster in recent years.

A notice on the national prosecutor’s website said they included current and retired officials in the port city of Tianjin, along with others working for the company that runs the port, the largest in northern China.

All are accused of dereliction of duty and abusing their positions, the notice said.

The August 12 explosions at the warehouse owned by Ruihai Logistics were not only one of China’s worst accidents but the deadliest ever for first responders, with 115 police and firefighters among the dead and missing.

The investigation has focused on how the warehouse gained permission to handle sodium cyanide and other dangerous chemicals despite being located inside a legally-mandated 1000m buffer zone from homes and roads. The warehouse was also storing more chemicals than it was equipped to handle and kept some in a loading zone rather than securely.

The responsible parties “failed to take strong measures in response to the Ruihai company’s illegal and unregulated actions, did not assiduously carry out their duties and issued business permits in violations of rules,” the prosecutor’s notice said.

Police have already detained 12 Ruihai employees as part of their investigation and are also looking into a company suspected of providing bogus safety assessments.

Diabetes epidemic Diabetes is the most widespread health epidemic in the world and threatens to cripple Australia’s health system, an Australian diabetes expert says. Diabetes Australia chief executive Greg Johnson says with 380 million people worldwide living with the disease - and about 1.2 million in Australia - it’s time to be serious about prevention. New data released on Wednesday shows more than 1.17 million Australians have diabetes, or 4.9 per cent of the population. “This is a massive epidemic,” Prof Johnson said at the Australian Diabetes Society annual conference. “It’s been said that the diabetes epidemic is the biggest health epidemic to ever affect the world and the human race.

Drone kills five An apparent US drone strike has killed five Al-Qaeda suspects in the extremist network’s southeastern stronghold of Mukalla, a Yemeni government official says. “A drone targeted a house where Al-Qaeda militants were gathered for a meeting, destroying it and killing all five inside”, said the local official. The United States is the only country known to operate armed drones over Yemen, and strikes on militants have continued during months of fighting between pro-government forces and Iranbacked Shi’ite rebels. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), viewed by Washington as the network’s most dangerous branch, has taken advantage of the chaos to seize Mukalla, capital of the vast desert province of Hadramawt.

Protest leader charged Hong Kong student leader Joshua Wong has been charged over protests which led to last year’s mass pro-democracy street rallies.

Wong, 18, who became the face of the democracy movement, is already due in court for separate charges of obstructing police at an earlier demonstration. The teenager and other activists have accused authorities of a witch hunt against those at the forefront of the Umbrella Movement that brought parts of the city to a standstill for two months.

Protesters called for fully free elections of Hong Kong’s next leader, in the face of contentious Beijing-backed political reforms in which candidates would be vetted by a loyalist committee.

Smoke brutal Smoke from big wildfires burning east of the Cascade Range hurt air quality Wednesday and hampered efforts by crews battling the flames in Washington state. Smoky conditions grounded helicopters and airplanes that had been fighting the fires, and air quality was rated as unhealthy for some people in Spokane County, which has nearly 500,000 residents.

Crews battling a 262-square mile blaze near the town of Republic were also battling smoke as well as flames, fire spokesman Donnie Davis said. “Everybody up here is rubbing their eyes,” Davis said.

“It’s brutal.” Officials have counted 40 homes and 40 outbuildings destroyed by the blaze, which is the state’s biggest ever.

exposure to. The oil price has fallen for eight straight weeks now, the longest weekly losing streak since 1986. US oil prices are now sitting under $US40, at levels we haven’t seen since March 2009.

Secondly, we have a much stronger economy than most other countries in the world.

Despite the challenges facing the dairy sector, numerous other industries are in good shape, including those related to nondairy export commodities (such as kiwifruit, horticulture, beef and seafood), the services sector and the tourism sector.

Thirdly, should things get more difficult, we have more levers to pull than other economies. These include cutting interest rates further, the ability for our currency to decline in response and the ability for the government to employ greater fiscal stimulus (as a result of modest government debt levels).

Finally, we are in the midst of a solid reporting season which gives us confidence in both the economic outlook as well as the health of corporate New Zealand. Many of our biggest companies have been reporting strong results over recent days including Port of Tauranga, Meridian Energy, Trade Me,

Air New Zealand and Auckland Airport.

We should also put this recent correction in context. Markets have had an exceptionally strong run over the past several years and we were arguably due for a pullback of some magnitude. Up until the end of last month, New Zealand shares had risen 52 per cent over the past three years, while US shares had been even stronger with a 67 per cent rise over the same period. We hadn’t seen a correction of more than 10 per cent in the US since October 2011, almost four years ago.

One of the most anticipated global economic events over the next month is the Federal Reserve meeting in the US in mid-September.

It had been widely speculated that we could see US interest rates rise for the first time in nine years at this meeting, which would have put upward pressure on the US dollar and likely see the NZ dollar decline in response. However, given the global uncertainty and the concern over what is happening on the ground in China, markets are predicting a much lower chance of the Fed hiking interest rates. Expectations of a September rate hike have fallen to 24 per cent, (from 48 per cent two weeks earlier).

ver the past two weeks we have seen significant volatility across global sharemarkets.

Despite some stability over the past few days, many of the major share indices around the world have fallen between 10 and 20 per cent from their recent highs.

China has been at the forefront of these declines, with Chinese shares falling more than 40 per cent since June.

However, to put this in perspective we should remember that the Chinese sharemarket more than doubled in the year leading up to this. Given some extreme over-exuberance in the Chinese market, it is unsurprising that we have seen such a big fall.

In fact, Chinese shares are still 30 per cent higher than they were a year ago, even after the massive falls we have seen over recent weeks.

The moves in other markets have been more muted. US shares are 8.9 per cent below their 2015 peak, European shares are 15.4 per cent lower and Australian shares have fallen 13.5 per cent. The New Zealand sharemarket has been much more resilient and is down just 6.4 per cent from the record high of early August.

There are a number of reasons for the New Zealand market performing so well in the face of such extreme volatility overseas. For a start, the weakest sectors globally have been those related to energy and mining, sectors which the local market has very little

checked their KiwiSaver balance online in the past few days will have seen it go down as a result of the falling global sharemarkets.

Boyle cautioned against taking any knee-jerk action.

“Sit down and take a breath.

Then take some time to think about what the money is for and ask ‘do I need it today’?”

Boyle said for most people retirement would still be a long way off.

For anyone still worried he recommended calling their KiwiSaver provider and asking them to explain what is going on, talking through what kind of fund they are in and whether it is appropriate for them.

manager, investments and insurance at AMP, said it was maintaining a close watching brief on the markets.

“We have received only a handful of calls from customers just wanting to understand what the current situation means for them.

“We are reminding customers that saving through managed funds such as KiwiSaver are long-term investments and that market corrections happen every couple of years.

“The lesson of the last few years is not to panic during market corrections.”

KiwiSaver providers are urging savers not to panic after a week of turmoil in sharemarkets around the globe.

Markets, including New Zealand’s stock exchange, have fallen on the back of concerns about a slow-down in China’s growth and dramatic plunges in its stock exchange.

John Body, managing director at ANZ Wealth, the country’s largest KiwiSaver provider said it had only received a handful of calls from its members worried about the market turbulence and its affect on their retirement investment funds.

But it was taking the opportunity to remind people that in-

vestment volatility was part of investing and did not have to be the cause for panic.

“We believe that our members should keep a disciplined and patient approach to their investments based on their own longterm plans for their investments rather than reacting to shortterm changes in the market.

“It is the long-term trend that matters when saving for your retirement.”

Body said ANZ would be closely monitoring the situation and adjusting KiwiSaver portfolios based on its views.

“We will continue to maintain a vigilant focus on quality assets that provide liquidity and diversification.”

Therese Singleton, general

Falling revenue and a final year of substantial costs for integrating with the Telstra Clear business saw Vodafone’s New Zealand unit turn in a loss for the year to March 31 of $120.7 million.

That compared with a $29 million loss declared in the previous year and a $55.9 million tax-paid profit in the year to March 2013.

Vodafone bought the New Zealand operations of Australian-owned Telstra in November 2012, most of which covered a period before Vodafone bought the fixed line and broadband assets of Telstra in November 2012.

The result was in line with expectations, said Vodafone NZ chief executive Russell Stanners.

7 6 4 and peppers and season with a little salt and pepper. Add a few dollops of sauce here and there, then finally sprinkle over mozzarella.

■ Bake pizzas for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 200°C (fan bake), or until golden and bubbling.

■ Have ready avocados, halved, peeled, stoned and sliced.

■ Arrange on top of pizzas, squirting with lime juice. Put on a dollop or two of sour cream and a good sprinkling of coriander.

Serve immediately.

■ Julie’s tip: If your baking tray is large enough, you can squeeze two pizzas together on one tray, if you have two trays you can cook all four pizzas together. Alternate the trays halfway through cooking so both trays receive the same amount of top and bottom heat.

Rookie eats his way to Warriors’ start line

By DaviD Skipwith Rookie Warriors playmaker Mason Lino’s dedication to improving his diet and game preparation has resulted in his whole family making a lifestyle change.

Lino’s prospects looked bleak at the start of the year, after a shoulder injury ruined plans for playing with AS Carcassonne in France, forcing him to stay home for a lengthy stint of rehab.

Handed a lifeline in the form of a part-time contract back at the Warriors, the former Under 20s co-captain and 2014 NYC Premiership winner knew he had to make changes to help salvage his career.

Appealing to his family for support, the 21-year-old convinced them to join him in improving their diet, as he set off down the long road that eventually led to his debut NRL appearance in last week’s loss to the Cowboys.

Mason Lino

“At the start of the year, when I was in rehab, I didn’t think anything was coming,” said Lino.

“But I had good support around me with my family, my friends, and my partner, and they’ve helped me put my head down and I just worked really hard.

“I wasn’t really eating the right things. My nutritional

side wasn’t the best, so when I started talking to my parents, I told them, let’s all move to healthier eating because it will benefit me and you guys.

“Now my whole family are eating healthier. My parents are really doing it as well now, so that’s definitely made it a lot easier for me to eat really good foods to give me the nutrition I need to play some good footy.

“It definitely improved my performance and made me fitter. It gave me a lot of energy to do a lot of work on the field and stay focused.”

Starting at five-eighth alongside Marist clubmate and Under 20s halves partner Tui Lolohea, against the best player in the world, Cowboys skipper Johnathan Thurston, made the hard road back all worthwhile.

Having his family there to enjoy the occasion added to the emotion of the evening.

“Running out of the tunnel it was just a dream come true,” he said. “My family were up there

cheering, I could hear them screaming, and it was definitely a buzzy feeling. You can say it was a bit of a silver lining to doing my shoulder.

“I know the way Tui plays and we can work off each other. We’ve played a bit of touch and tag together, so we kind of know how each other plays, and it works well for us.”

Lino is quick to credit former Under 20s and current NSW Cup coach Stacey Jones with developing his game. The former Warriors and Kiwis great opened his eyes to the complexities and subtleties of halfback play.

“Stacey has definitely helped to simplify the game for me and help me read the game a lot better.

“Learning to count numbers a bit better, because it’s all about getting the ball to space and finding the numbers.

“He’s opened me up to running the ball more, too, and taking the line on.”

Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova will defend their Brisbane International titles in January. Federer notched his 1000th career win when he claimed this year’s Brisbane title by downing big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic in the final. The historic win set up a year of resurgence for the 34-year-old Federer. The Wimbledon runnerup has won five tournaments this year. Federer will be joined at the Australian Open warm-up by Japan’s world No.4 Kei Nishikori.

Sharapova also confirmed her return after downing Serb Ana Ivanovic in the 2015 Brisbane decider. The Brisbane International starts on January 3.

Roosters ready History will be on Manly’s side as their NRL season goes on the line against the Sydney Roosters on Friday night at Brookvale Oval.

The blockbuster clash could not be more important for Geoff Toovey’s men - win and live to fight another day; lose and they can start booking hotels in Bali for Mad Monday. Since entering the competition, the Sea Eagles have held the wood over the tricolours, taking out 81 of their 126 meetings for a 64 per cent winning percentage. Brookvale has been a graveyard for many teams but the Roosters have been particularly luckless there, losing 35 of 47 games at the Manly home ground including 14 of the past 20 and seven of their past eight.

Drivers sombre Defending his IndyCar championship appears the last thing on Will Power’s mind going into this weekend’s season finale.

The Australian heads into the double-points Grand Prix of Sonoma in California still in with a shot of retaining the crown he won for the first time last year.

Power is one of six drivers who can mathematically claim the championship in the 85-lap street circuit race, but the death of Justin Wilson has cast a pall on the entire weekend. Wilson died earlier in the week after suffering severe head injuries during the second last race of the season at Pocono in Pennsylvania. The Englishman’s head was struck by debris from another car in an accident which has left many, including Power, deeply affected.

In brief

Hammers head to Wanganui

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will take on Wanganui at Cooks Gardens in week two of the Heartland Championships tomorrow.

The Hammers kicked off their defence of the Meads Cup with a 34-17 bonus-point win over South Canterbury and a fourth defence of the Hanan Shield at the Ashburton Showgrounds last Saturday, while Wanganui produced a less convincing 39-34 win over Horowhenua Kapiti in Levin.

Mid Canterbury coach Grant Keenan emphasised the importance of preparation and said he expects a tough outing against the Lochore Cup holders.

“It’s been pretty good, we had a good training on Tuesday but we have to be careful that we don’t over-train, so we have to manage that,” he said.

“They (Wanganui) have a very good fullback and their forwards will be big and strong, I think it’ll be a physical, hightempo game,” he said.

“We’re excited about the challenge, we need to forget about last week and focus on Saturday.

As I’ve said, if you’re five or 10 per cent off your game you will get beaten, so we need to make sure we’re ready.”

Wanganui will be without loose forward Daniel Fitzgerald and prop Brett Turner through injury, while first-five

Who is Daniel Carter’s backup?

Hawkes Bay teenager Bobbi Gichard has won a bronze medal at the world junior swimming championships in Singapore.

Gichard, 15, came third in the 100m backstroke final in 1min 00.42s, her third successive personal best and a new national age group record.

Australia’s Minna Atherton won the final, breaking her own world junior record in clocking 59.58s.

American Claire Adams took the silver in 1:00.19. Auckland’s Gabrielle Fa’amausili, 15, finished seventh, having set the pace in turning second at 50m. She recorded a personal best 1:00.74.

Areta Lama and wing Stephen Perofeta are unavailable.

Coach Jason Caskey said Wanganui struggled to take charge of their opening Heartland tie against Horowhenua Kapiti last week and Turner, Fitzgerald, Lama and Perofeta will be missed.

“They will be sorely missed, we’re short on props but we’ve got a couple of a guys coming back,” he said.

“We’re aware of what they (Mid Canterbury) bring to the table but we have to play to our abilities to give ourselves a good chance.

“We made a lot of basic mistakes (against Horowhenua Kapiti), dropped balls, there were heaps of things, a lot of the basics, we were probably a bit rusty and there were a few guys who had their first games that might have been a bit nervous.”

King Country v Horowhenua Kapiti Poverty Bay v Thames Valley South Canterbury v East Coast Wairarapa Bush v North Otago

Hype ahead of RWC squad selection Is Waisake Naholo a genuine possibility?

Naholo has been the best sports story of the year. Another Blues reject who washed up at the Highlanders and then made the All Blacks. His plot was thickened first by the unfortunate business of him signing then slithering out of a deal with French club Clermont and then breaking his leg on debut.

But wait ... there’s more – he headed off to Fiji for a miracle cure and is on track to be fit by the time the All Blacks play their third game at the World Cup. How do the selectors feel about taking an injured player to England? What guarantee Naholo will definitely be fit at the time predicted and even if he is, what sort of contribution will he be able to make having not played since mid July? The answer will presumably be no – and Naholo will be on standby during the tournament.

Bronze medal

The All Black selectors name their World Cup squad of 31 on Sunday.

Gregor Paul asks the big questions ahead of the announcement.

It’s tempting to say Beauden Barrett except that doesn’t appear to be the right answer. Barrett impresses as an all round footballer with pace, agility, great instincts and great skills.

He hasn’t impressed so much as a game manager and tactical director. He’s the perfect bench option given his versatility and proven impact _ hence he will be named in the 31. What about Colin Slade? Given he hasn’t worn the All Black No 10 shirt since the last World Cup, the selectors see his value as a utility back. But they already have one of those in Barrett _ so is there room for both? Unlikely.

Is the answer Lima Sopoaga then? Why give him the test at Ellis Park if he’s not the backup No 10? Why not play Barrett or Slade? It’s over-cautious

that could see them having to rely on, probably, Dan Carter as a fill-in if needs be in a knockout game.

to give the fourth choice No 10 such a big test, just in case there are injuries and he’s called up to join the squad. Sopoaga might be the answer.

Do they need four locks?

Easy one this – no. They can manage with three. Whether they go into a knockout game without a specialist lock on the bench is debatable, but they don’t need one specialist on the bench and one in the stands.

Can they live without specialists?

The Wallabies are going with just two hookers and two halfbacks. Can the All Blacks do the same? It would be a risk at hooker given Keven Mealamu’s age and profile. So probably they will take three.

Aaron Smith and TJ Perenara have been largely indestructible and probably could share the workload all the way through.

But it’s high risk – one injury and they are in trouble. If either Smith or Perenara is ruled out, it takes at least 48 hours to get a replacement to the UK. So

Is Milner-Skudder a World Cup-sort of player?

In his two tests, Nehe Milner-Skudder showed his attacking game works at the highest level. The bigger question, though, is does he have a skillset for the pressure world of knockout football?

The All Black back three will be competing for the ball in the air. They will need to be able to kick long and deep and be prepared to be patient, waiting for their counter attack chance. Is this Milner-Skudder’s type of rugby. Everyone knows that it most definitely Cory Jane’s.

Nick Willis and Julian Matthews have comfortably qualified for the semifinals of the 1500m at the athletics world championships in Beijing. Relishing the opportunity to race in the Bird’s Nest stadium again after winning silver at the 2008 Olympic Games Willis settled to the rear of his heat running comfortably in lane two. It was the fastest heat, and when the pace went on the final lap Willis made his move down the back straight and was well positioned to challenge. He looked relaxed as he produced just enough speed to ease into third place in 3:38.27.

Silas Kiplagat of Kenya won in 3:38.13. Matthews was in an earlier heat and stuck to the pole line holding the pace set by the bunch.

The former New Zealand 1500m champion became an automatic qualifier by finishing sixth in 3:39.55.

Darts champion World darts No1 Michael van Gerwen prides himself on a relentless will to win. The onetime teenage sensation overcame a tough start to his professional career to become the game’s best player. And he is only the November Grand Slam tournament short of his career aim to have won all nine tournaments he rates as the biggest titles, an astonishing feat for a player so young. But the 26-year-old Dutchman, the youngest Professional Darts Corporation world champion, won’t ever bother taking up one challenge – the record of the still-competitive legend Phil “The Power” Taylor. Van Gerwen, Taylor and world champ Gary Anderson headline an elite field in the threeday PDC Darts Masters which starts in Auckland tonight. - NZME

Japan vows Japan has promised a new list of venues for the 2019 World Cup after rugby’s governing body’s demand for fresh plans in the wake of the proposed national stadium being scrapped. The pledge came in response to World Rugby issuing a strongly-worded statement saying it was giving the Japanese hosts until the end of September to come up with a “revised detailed host venue proposal” as organisers scrambled to find a replacement. The governing body has also requested a new tournament budget that supplies “appropriate financial security”. Last month, Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shocked World Rugby when he scrapped plans for the stadium.

Lads of 1995 remember vintage year

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton United football team of 1995 will reunite tomorrow evening before playing a friendly match against old rivals Collegiate at the Ashburton Domain on Sunday.

Ashburton United were one of the most successful teams Mid Canterbury has produced and won a Canterbury District League, Canterbury District Knockout Cup and Rakaia sixa-side tournament treble in the 1995 season.

Ashburton also knocked Cashmere Wanderers out in the first round of the Chatham Cup, before being thumped 9-1 by Christchurch Tech in the next round.

Former coach Francis Renner said the team is looking forward to the reunion dinner at the Ashburton Club and MSA with members travelling from far and wide to attend.

“Everyone was really keen, we’ve got one guy, the manager Chris Kerr, coming from Australia,” he said.

“Some of the guys wouldn’t have seen each other since 1995, so it should be a good get together.”

Forget Cody Cat’s last run, says trainer Cody Cat provided Andrew Carston with a memorable win during the Grand National carnival and he is expecting another bold effort from the horse at Ashburton today.

The experienced Carston, who was John Sargent’s righthand man at Matamata before a period running his Sydney stable, recently took over Lisa Latta’s 20-horse barn at Riccarton.

Cody Cat got the new operation away to a flying start

last month and he again looks a strong prospect in the Hotel Ashburton Rating 85.

“He was really good on the first day at Riccarton and you can forget he went around the next time, nothing went right,” Carston said.

“Madam Victoria will be the horse to beat, but Cody Cat should be a really good each way chance in the race.”

Carston will also have a trio runners – Sadlers Rock, Eden-

song and Montrachet – in the opening event on the card, the Ashburton Life Members’ Rating 75.

“Edensong is the most forward of them, but it’s a tricky little race,” he said. “I’m happy with all three and we’ve got to get them going heading toward the spring and the New Zealand Cup carnival.”

Edensong has won five of her 34 starts, including one on the Ashburton track earlier

this year, while the well-related Montrachet has been lightlytried.

The half-sister by High Chaparral to the dual Group One winner Vosne Romanee put together consecutive wins at the end of her last preparation.

All Sadlers Rock’s five victories have come at a mile or beyond and his record suggests he may need a race or two to show form. – NZ Racing Desk.

Bumper season ahead for Kiwi cricket fans The personnel will be noticeably different, but the challenge remains intact.

That’s how New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum reads the task for his team against Australia in the marquee event on a bumper international home summer.

The schedule released yesterday includes four tests, two each against Sri Lanka and Australia, 11 ODIs against those two countries and Pakistan, plus five T20s in a clear nod to the end-of-season world

T20 in India.

A new Aussie captain in Steven Smith, a new and unlikely deputy in bullish opener David Warner and the expectation of a significantly changed batting lineup throws an intriguing light on New Zealand’s two test series against Australia, away before Christmas, then at home in February.

However McCullum, in an aside which almost slipped by, having paid tribute to Australia’s strength in depth, gave an insight into his thinking of

what lies ahead.

“We’re very respectful of how good they are and how big a challenge we have – at the same time I’d rather have our team than theirs.”

When the first test against the Aussies starts in Wellington, it will be six years since the last transtasman test on this side of the water.

Christchurch’s Hagley Oval has the second test, and a chance to back up a strong start to its return as an international venue last summer.

The three Chappell-Hadlee Trophy one-dayers should draw bumper crowds, given their two clashes last season – the World Cup final in Melbourne and, perhaps more pertinently, New Zealand’s stunning one-wicket win at Eden Park in pool play.

New Zealand Cricket has inked in eight Chappell-Hadlee series in the next seven years as on-field relations with New Zealand’s nearest and dearest go from famine to feast in one giant leap.

Masters gunning for cup

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury United will lock horns with High School Old Boys in the Mainland Football division two masters knockout cup final at ASB Park in Christchurch tomorrow.

Mid Canterbury finished in fifth place during the round robin season but secured a final spot with a 2-1 win over University Master Yodas in the quarter-final and a 3-2 victory over league winners FC Twenty in the semifinals, thanks to a late winner from Matt Galbraith.

Mid Canterbury have played High School Old Boys twice this season, drawing 1-all on the opening day at ASB Park and winning a 6-5 thriller at Ashburton Domain in May. High School Old Boys will be favourites to lift the cup having finished second on the ladder with seven wins, three draws and four losses, but captain Paul Bradford said his players are up for the upset.

The final will kick off at 3pm.

Ashburton College’s Shannon Stockdale jostles for possession during last night’s premier netball final against Methven. Methven went on to win the spirited match 22-21.

Methven storms home

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Methven stormed home in the final quarter to win last night’s premier netball final 22-21 over Ashburton College.

Right from the outset of the competition the two teams were the top contenders, and last night they put it all on the line.

Both Methven and College got off to a rough start in the first quarter, with crucial goals missed and valuable passes thrown away but it didn’t take long for things to turn around.

The crowd was eerily silent as both teams battled for possession, but it was College who managed to get out in front, fin-

ishing the quarter with a twogoal lead – the score 6-4.

Come the second quarter it became obvious the young side wasn’t giving in. Superb defence from Kate Lloyd coupled with some pin-point accuracy in the shooting circle from Georgina Kelly saw College maintain their lead, scoring six goals within the 10-minute quarter.

Methven too seemed more settled, slowing down their play and picking up their shooting.

However it was still College who had the lead heading into half-time, the score 12-9.

If it appeared Methven’s urgency was lost earlier on in the game, that all changed come the

Hammers go north P18

third quarter.

The match had some superb ebb and flow, but it was Bindy Egden and Leanne Clemens’ team work in the shooting circle that resulted in Methven’s game getting even stronger.

It was obvious both teams desperately wanted to come away with the win, and be the first to hold the coveted McGee Trophy aloft indoors.

College found it difficult to get past Methven’s solid defence and some unfortunate mistakes cost them valuable ball. As a result Methven managed to edge out in front, the third quarter ending 18-17 in their favour.

The crowd had remained quiet

for the duration of the game but heading into the second half they showed their support, cheering on both sides with fierce vigour.

The third quarter was where Methven really dug in, capitalising on every centre pass. It was a spirited quarter and there was no lack of determination from either side. However, Methven retained their one point lead and much to College’s dismay, finished the game 22-21.

Methven coach Maree Macphail was proud of her team, and pleased they put up such a fight.

“We have been working on building throughout the four

quarters … and that’s what we did,” Macphail said.

“It really showed tonight.”

The last four minutes were trying, she said, but the experienced team held on.

It was Methven’s second premier title in the last five years.

The earlier Senior A final between Celtic and Collegiate wasn’t quite as close, with Collegiate leading from the get-go.

Collegiate finished at the top of the table at the end of premier’s third round, and brought that same determination to last night’s final. By half time the score was 21-15 in Collegiate’s favour and they extended that to finish the game 26-20.

Remember these lads?
