YOUTH OFFENDERS

Totty on to new pastures P5

2 of NZ’s worst in Ashburton

Chicken for dinner?

P12

Ashburton police are dealing with two of the country’s most prolific youth offenders who have relocated from other districts.

The two youngsters are at the centre of a small group who are responsible for the bulk of the youth offending in the district, Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said.

Some of their families are understood to have arrived in town on Work and Income subsidies under the $3K to Christchurch initiative which aimed to connect clients nationwide to jobs, primarily to boost the city’s rebuild.

However, the scheme also covers Ashburton, Hurunui, Selwyn and the Waimakariri districts.

Another high profile youth offender

has since turned 17 and left the Ashburton District.

Banfield’s comments come amidst a growing surge of frustration within the wider community, prompting many people to vent their concerns on social media pages.

In the latest incident a young offender burgled the Ashburton RSA in the early hours of Tuesday morning. A Talbot Security staff member noticed a broken window while patrolling the area and notified police.

As a result a 14-year-old youth was arrested and held in custody in Christchurch overnight pending a Youth Court appearance in the Christchurch District Court yesterday morning.

Strict suppression orders prevent reporting on youth court matters, however, the boy was already well known to

Ashburton police, Banfield said.

“The entry point was not very big, so we pretty soon figured out who the likely offender was and picked him up with the stolen property.”

Ashburton RSA bar manager John Tull said access was gained by breaking a window pane in a sliding door.

The young offender made off with several bottles of spirits, two off which were dropped as he left the premises.

The offending was recorded on security footage.

Banfield said police will continue to crack down on youth offending and will continue to hold families accountable for keeping youngsters in check.

Police officers routinely check on young people under court-ordered curfews to ensure they are at home during the required hours.

Pedalling posties thing of the past?

By Sue NewmaN

Because the Paxters use the footpath, the biggest single issue for posties is community safety and the rule of thumb is that pedestrians, people in mobility scooters and mums with strollers always come first.

Posties have to stop, move aside or move onto the road so the pedestrians can pass, she said.

And there’s no going back to bikes for NZ Post.

“Paxters are here to stay, this is the new post.”

The vehicles will be used for the combined delivery of parcels and mail with the national roll out starting in late July in Oamaru and in parts of Auckland in August.

NZ Post chief operating officer, customer service delivery Mark Stewart said the vehicles were an investment in New Zealand postal future.

“It’s about us changing the way we deliver to meet the growing demand for parcel deliveries,” he said.

The Paxsters can carry up to 200kg of parcels and mail but are still small and nimble enough to be used on the footpath.

The Ashburton District Council has given permission to use the vehicles on the footpath in residential neighbourhoods, but they will not be used for deliveries in the central business district.

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Don’t go looking for posties on bikes around Ashburton’s streets; the time honoured way of delivering the mail has all but disappeared.

After decades of pedal power deliveries, NZ Post has stepped into the future, tossing out bikes and replacing them with bright red, four wheel, motorised scooters. And those scooters, known as Paxters are already plying Ashburton’s streets.

Ashburton is among the first towns in New Zealand to have Paxter style mail delivery, with the first postie making the switch yesterday.

Five posties in total will be trained and by the week’s end, trainer Shelley Norris believes they’ll all be ready to ride.

“It only takes most people a day to train. We build confidence in the car park then on the road and they’ll learn new delivery skills.

Then they have an assessment before they’re ready to go, ready to get out there having fun in the sun,” Norris said.

For most it’s about gaining confidence and while some posties might take a day or two to be ready to ride, she’s never had anyone fail to make the grade.

“It takes a while to be really efficient because they have to learn to deliver mail from the left, but 50 hours will make you an expert.”

Active Kids Holiday Programme Sport Canterbury Active Kids Programme participants (from left) Ella Arbuckle, Samuel King and Tate Dryland get stuck in to the activities on offer. From touch cricket to teeball tennis, kids can experience a range of activities that will get them up and running over the week-long holiday programme. The programme finishes on Friday with movies. Sport Canterbury Active Kids Programme team leader Grace Thomson said the kids enjoyed themselves. “They love it, it’s fun. They all join in.”

Prison sentence narrowly avoided A man who turned his back on a violent past has narrowly avoided a prison sentence on driving charges this week.

Samuel James Knowles, 37, of Christchurch, appeared before Judge Tom Gilbert in the Ashburton District Court on his fifth count of drink driving and eighth charge of driving while suspended or disqualified.

The court was told Knowles was a man with a past who had served prison sentences for serious offending which included violence and robbery.

However, he was now a single parent and had turned his life

YOUR LOCAL

around to provide a home for his children.

One of the children had recently sustained a spinal injury and had been airlifted to Starship Children’s Hospital for treatment and Knowles himself was in the grips of a debilitating illness.

On the night the charges were laid he had driven while his licence was suspended to pick up a younger family member who had been drinking and was stranded.

He returned an evidential test of 90 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood, when the limit is 80mg.

Knowles acknowledged he had $13,000 worth of fines to pay off

but pointed out he had repaid the same amount over the past five years, since turning his back on his shady past.

He had written a letter to pass to the judge, “but only if you’re going to send me to jail,” he said.

“I’m not going to send you to jail,” Judge Gilbert said.

“But the reality is you’ve got to stop doing this because if you come here again you will go to prison and you can’t look after your kids from there.”

Knowles received a five month home detention sentence and was disqualified from driving for 13 months.

Designing our official Christmas cards

By Noah Graham Children will be using dots and dashes of colour to create Ashburton’s official Christmas card, this year.

The Ashburton Art Gallery’s annual Christmas card competition began last Saturday and aims to teach five to 13-year-old children about the 19th century artist Georges Seurat’s painting technique, pointillism, while allowing them to show their creative flair.

Ashburton Art Gallery communications and exhibitions assistant Nicole Bourke said the young artists’ only criteria was to follow the theme an Ashburton Christmas.

The designs will be judged and selected as the official Ashburton Art Gallery and Ashburton District Council Christmas card. The winner will also receive 50 copies of their Christmas card and all entries will be on a display wall at the Ashburton Art Gallery from October 10 to 24.

The children can design their entries at the Ashburton Art Gallery or take the form home as long as they are handed in by 4pm on October 9.

In the past decade more than 1000 wells have been sunk in the Hinds plains area.

Environment Canterbury senior hydrologist Patrick Durney delivered the findings at yesterday’s Ashburton Water Zone Management Committee meeting.

In total 1023 wells have been installed in the area between the Ashburton and Hinds rivers, according to Durney. That figure included shallow wells drilled for domestic water supplies and

In brief Canine custody settled Two families have reached a custody agreement over a 4-year-old tschitzu/silky cross. Yesterday, a couple from Russell and another from Whangarei were arguing over the ownership of the dog. The dog - named either Wilson or Bear depending who you asked - was microchipped to the Whangarei family, but had spent the past 14 months in the care of the Russell couple. The council had refused to release the dog until there was mutual agreement. By the early afternoon, the Whangarei couple had agreed to let Bear stay in Russell, provided they could visit him.

The managed aquifer recharge site in the Lagmhor district was the one bright spot on the graph, with well levels rising and nitrates dropping in line with the aims of the pilot project.

Durney said comparable low ground water levels were last seen in the 1950s, however, there has been very little aquifer recharge in the past year.

With little snowmelt expected and low water levels in the foothills area, the change of any real aquifer recharge this summer look increasingly unlikely.

“We need a lot of moderate

those no longer in use.

The information showed a surge in drilling activity over the past two years, with more than double the amount of wells sunk this year than in 2013.

Overall water levels in the catchment were low to very low, Durney said and, with a third dry summer on the horizon, concerns are mounting.

Groundwater levels in the Valetta area are very low with shallow wells showing similar trends on the north side of the Ashburton River, hitting historically low levels.

rain to achieve that, I expect we are going into a third dry summer,” Durney said.

Among the initiatives to support efficient water use within the zone, ECan, in collaboration with IrrigationNZ, Federated Farmers and other farming industry-good groups will hold two irrigation efficiency workshops next month, zone committee facilitator Olivia Smith said.

Two university students also have the task of conducting bucket tests under centre-pivot irrigators to measure efficiency.

Dark rain clouds were hovering over Whitianga yesterday as search and rescue teams prepared to launch day three of their search for an Auckland man Lucas Cochrane, 19, who has not been seen since about 10.30pm on Saturday, after leaving a function at the Whitianga Fire Station. Yesterday’s search kicked off about 8am. Luke’s mother Catherine Tamati and her husband Glenn told the New Zealand Herald they’re still holding out hope that Luke will be found alive.

Discharge questioned The Solicitor-General’s office says it is looking into the discharge of a young rugby player without conviction after attacks on four people in one night. Under-19 winger Losi Filipo had been charged with assault following an incident in central Wellington in October last year, when he was 17 and still at secondary school. Now 18, he was last month discharged without conviction in the District Court. The case has attracted media attention, with the four victims and their families questioning why Filipo’s promising rugby career apparently helped him escape punishment.

Appeal to boost foodbank shelves

By Sue NewmaN

Left - Sending out the message for their October community food bank appeal are, (from left) Real Estate New Zealand, Ashburton owner, Trevor Hurley, Jane Kingan and Levonne Watts from Port FM, Judith Lilley, foodbank manager and Peter Breakwell, Countdown store manager.

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s community foodbank is empty, but four local businesses have joined forces to restock the shelves.

The food drive started with real estate company business owner Trevor Hurley and stepped up a notch when Port FM staff joined in. It moved up yet another notch with the help of Burger King and the circle was completed with the foodbank’s national partner Countdown on the team.

For the four businesses, the reason they’re involved comes down to just one thing, helping their community.

“This is a community thing and we’re all part of the community,” Hurley said.

“It’s all about the Salvation Army, helping them out. They’re doing a great job in the community and their job is now more in demand than ever.”

Drop-off points for the October-long foodbank drive are the Salvation Army, Burger King and Port FM. What’s needed are big stocks of non-perishable items and as an incentive for kids to encourage their mums and dads to dig into the pantry and donate, Burger

King is giving away a cheeseburger voucher per donation, he said.

The Salvation Army runs the community foodbank and manager Judith Lilley said that the bank’s current status is almost empty.

“We have no pasta, no rice,

no flour. Just a few cans of food and this will be a great top up to keep us going until we have our big Christmas food drive Toot for Tucker,” she said.

This year has seen a significantly higher demand. One of the contributors had been the longer stand down at Silver Fern

Farms, but there were also more families, particularly those on single incomes who were finding life very tough, Lilley said.

“Rents are going up, food prices are going up and wages have been static for quite a long time.”

While the foodbank relied heavily on community dona-

tions of food and cash, Lilley said she had a budget she could dip into when stocks ran low.

“I’m always blowing my budget, but the more donations we can get in, then the less we have to buy,” she said. “Anything anyone can give us is always gratefully received.”

Council stalwart moving on to other passions

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

There are three things Alan Totty is passionate about – biodiversity, history and, until next week, local body politics.

Come October 8 when the votes are counted in this year’s local body elections, Alan won’t be watching the numbers go up on the board, he’s retiring as a district councillor, intent on pouring his energies into new projects.

For years Alan farmed at Staveley and, while he’d always had an interest in local body politics, he knew as the sole man on the land that he’d never have time to devote to council. The years ticked by, the farm was knocked into shape and the time arrived when he decided it was now or never and stood for the council’s western ward six years ago.

“The catalyst was really the proposed district plan with its zone changes. There was quite a lot of opposition to zones that were proposed for up here and I decided it might be easier to make changes from the inside,” he said.

As one of those rare mixes, a farmer with a passion for protecting the environment, Alan was a natural to pick up the cause for improving awareness of the district’s biodiversity from his seat around the council table.

“I was the first farmer to have a QEII covenant on my property in 1983. I’d ended up with a farm with a lot of native trees on it and I’d started putting fences around them. I guess I had an opportunity that a lot of people don’t have.”

While he has been the biodiversity advocate, Alan said his time around the council table has been about much more than a single issue.

“I’m very interested in the CBD redevelopment, you have to be involved in everything when you’re a councillor. I’ve enjoyed meetings and I’ve never been afraid to make decisions,” he said.

As a rural councillor, before

Looking forward to spending time on his latest project, building an energy self-sufficient home, retiring Ashburton District Councillor Alan Totty.

PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 260916-SS-300 moving into Ashburton, Alan made the longest trek to meetings, a round trip of 90km, often several times each week. But his council work was often locally based, with regular night meetings for some of the 31 committees he was involved with.

One of the things Alan said he has admired about his fellow councillors was that while they might be debating on the opposite side of an issue, when decisions are made and the meeting is over they’re all able to leave their differences in the meeting chamber.

“You have your say, do what you can and the good thing about this council is that everyone forgets anything that’s happened at the meeting.”

With two terms around the council table behind him, Alan said it was time to take stock and look at the things he still had on his bucket list.

“You have to look at your age, it comes into it as you know you’re running out of time to do the other things in your life. If you start counting back from 90, you realise you need to get stuck in and do things,” he said.

And one of those things for Alan and Jane will be moving into their new home on a 25-hectare block of land at Staveley. When they sold their farm they retained this block, complete with about nine hectares of regenerating beech trees.

They’re now building an ecofriendly home on the land that will be run off the grid. The nearest electricity supply is almost two kilometres away and they’ll be relying on solar energy and diesel for heat.

“It’s a house where we won’t need a garden, the native bush is

already there,” Alan said.

The couple hope to move into their new home before Christmas.

And while that will bring plenty of challenges, Alan said he will miss his life as a councillor.

“When I look back it was a commitment, but it will certainly leave a gap.”

Looking back also means looking at the big projects that have been ticked off and the big projects under way. And those are all a sign of a progressive council and a growing district, Alan said.

“There’s been an awful lot of stuff done around the district and our council debt is still only $34 million, that’s pretty darned good; our debt per capita is very low.”

Foothills Landcare He won’t be walking away from the district’s biodiversity issues and will continue to be a member of the Foothills Landcare group.

“It’s heartening to see a much greater awareness and better acceptance of these issues around the council table; there’s a real will to do something. So much has already gone and been gone for a long time and our first priority has to be to save what we have left and then enhance it if we can.”

And he’ll be stepping up his involvement in the district’s history, continuing to work as a volunteer for the Ashburton Museum and chairing the Staveley Historical Society.

“I’ve got plenty of things to do; I won’t be spending much time sitting in an armchair.”

When the election results are posted, Alan admits he’ll still be interested in the outcome.

He’s concerned that so much experience will be lost this year with so many retirees and knows that there will be many new faces who will have a lot to learn about life around the council table.

For him, however, retirement definitely means just that; he won’t be making a bid to return to council anytime in the future.

Ashburton cleans up

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

It was a successful week for Keep New Zealand Beautiful in Ashburton after more than 100 people took the time to pick up rubbish.

Wastebusters manager Sharon Breakwell said two big wooden bins had already been filled up and they were waiting on more people to bring their rubbish in, however, Friday was the last day people could do it for free.

She said they had all sorts of things come in that people had collected from outside, including an old cathode ray television.

This year a total of 22 groups signed up to the event, a couple had over 40 people in each group.

Breakwell said there would have been upwards of 100 people involved throughout

the week, which was a good turnout.

Groups included schoolkids of all ages, businesses and families.

Breakwell said one of the interesting things she noticed was when people got to the destination they had picked to find their rubbish, they were surprised at how much they found.

“When they started to pick up rubbish they didn’t realise how much there actually was,” she said.

She said people often didn’t take notice of how much litter there really was, so when they went out looking for it they were shocked at how much they found.

The clean-up week is organised by Keep New Zealand Beautiful, a charitable trust dedicated to keeping the country clean.

8 bylaws signed off at final meeting It took two Ashburton District Council staff almost eight months of work to complete a review and rewrite of eight bylaws and three policies.

They were just 11 documents among several hundred that the council is reviewing as it ensures its paperwork is up to scratch and that its rules and regulations meet the needs of a 21st century community.

Last week at their final meeting for this council term, councillors signed off the Brothel Location Bylaw; Dog Control Bylaw and Policy; Explanatory Bylaw; Keeping of Animals, Bees and Poultry Bylaw; Mobile Shops, Stalls and Hawkers Bylaw; Open Spaces Bylaw; Smokefree Outdoor Areas Policy; Wastewater Drainage Bylaw; Water Sup-

ply Bylaw; and Procurement Policy.

Community consultation on the revised policies took place in July and August, submissions were considered and the policies are now part of the council’s business framework.

Some of the changes to the bylaws and policies include a blanket permission to allow drones and model aeroplanes to fly within council’s open spaces, extending smokefree outdoor areas to include council sponsored events and areas outside entrances and exits to council buildings and including specific areas of Argyle Park as dog exercise areas.

The adopted policies and bylaws are available online or from the council office on Baring Square West.

Finding fun on Boulevard Day

By Noah Graham The Ashburton Boulevard Day is being considered a success despite the bad weather.

About 8000 to 10,000 people attended this year’s Boulevard Day on Monday and the stallholders were pleased with the turnout.

Boulevard Day event co-ordinator Bob McDonald said the crowd was smaller than last year because of the rain but it soon passed and there were

heaps of people.

“Between 10am-2pm you couldn’t see the end of the street.”

There were 110 stalls at the event with only six stallholders who did not turn up and that was due to bad weather in Canterbury and one stallholder who injured herself, McDonald said.

“I think they will be disappointed that they didn’t come.”

He said there was always a couple of stallholders who complained

PHOTOS SUSAN SANDYS 260916-SS-146

about the weather and the number of people there but, apart from them, most of the stallholders were pretty happy with the turnout.

McDonald said the crowd were not put off by the weather and they had enjoyed Boulevard Day. The stall spaces for next year’s Boulevard Day had sold out two week ago and it will have the maximum number of stalls, he said.

“We have never had any spare stalls.”

Mental health help elusive Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

T

here’s something seriously wrong in our community when we have people who are unable to access the help and assistance they need.

That help could be housing, it could be food, or it could gaining access to health or mental health services.

Currently our foodbank is running on empty – again. Each time the shelves are bare the community rallies and there’s an outpouring of foodstuffs to get it back in business.

What’s wrong with all of this is that we have the need in the first place. And that need is growing.

Needing help with putting food on the table is not just for those who are out of work or who face unexpectedly large bills. Help is now needed by a new group of people, people who are earning a living but for whom the cost of living has outstripped their earning capacity. More are also needing more help for a wider range of reasons.

But it doesn’t end there. Yes, our rents are low compared to many areas of New Zealand, but that doesn’t mean housing is affordable for everyone either. If you have a large family, live on a benefit or are in a low-paid job, then putting a roof over your head can take almost all of your income.

And then there are the people who struggle to access the health and welfare services they need.

As a country we pride ourselves on having a welfare system that is supposed to be a catch-all for people in need, but ask anyone in the Ashburton District what it’s like when you need to access medical, mental health or welfare services. Many will tell you it’s almost impossible.

These are genuinely decent people for whom life has gone pear-shaped, who desperately need intervention in their lives, often from mental health services, but getting help is not easy.

Accessing health support services in Ashburton means you need a doctor’s referral first. Two things stand in the way of that for many – their inability to make it on to a doctor’s patient list and if they get past that step, their ability to convince that doctor their need is urgent.

Vulnerable people are falling through the cracks; it has to stop.

YOUR VIEW Wheelie bins cost My current rates are $2363 and a 13 per cent increase will lift this to $2670.

I only put out one rubbish bag every three to four weeks, but a neighbour down the street puts out three to four bags weekly so why should I be subsidising him?

Can you tell me please what the current rating average is in Ashburton?

I feel very sorry for those in high rated properties as they will be hit hardest.

Being a pensioner living on a back section up an unsealed drive owned by my neighbour, how easy will it be to get the bin

LETTERS to the street every month or so for collection? Or can I leave it on the street as it is not owned by me and I don’t want it.

In this computer age surely the bins can be identified to user and the cost of servicing added to their bi-monthly rates bill.

Second bridge At the recent meet the candidates meeting at the Event Centre, I asked the question to all candidates about whether they were for or against the proposed bridge site.

Several candidates gave an answer, then the chair moved on to

by David Fletcher

the next question.

I re-asked my question because I wanted to know where each candidate stood because this will reflect on the way I vote.

The chair ruled my question invalid because the proposed bridge was settled.

Several councillors said to me later that the ruling was unfair because any time before the contracts go out, this bridge can be stopped. At least the next 12 years.

I would like to ask the candidates through this column which candidates support the proposed bridge site and which ones don’t.

Opening debate combative In a combative opening debate, Hillary Clinton emphatically denounced Donald Trump for keeping his personal tax returns and business dealings secret from voters and peddling a racist lie about President Barack Obama.

Businessman Trump repeatedly cast Clinton as a typical politician as he sought to capitalise on Americans’ frustration with Washington.

Locked in an exceedingly close White House race, the presidential rivals tangled for 90-minutes over their vastly different visions for the nation’s future. Clinton called for lowering taxes for the middle class, while Trump focused more on renegotiating trade deals that he said have caused companies to move jobs out of the US. The Republican backed the controversial stopand-frisk policing tactic as a way to bring down crime, while the Democrat said the policy was unconstitutional and ineffective.

The debate was confrontational from the start, with Trump frequently trying to interrupt Clinton and speaking over her answers. Clinton was more measured and restrained, but also needled the sometimes-thin-skinned Trump over his business record and wealth.

“There’s something he’s hiding,” she declared, scoffing at his repeated contentions that he won’t release his tax returns

Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton face off in the first presidential debate. because he is being audited.

Tax experts have said an audit is no barrier to making his records public.

Clinton said one reason Trump has refused is that he may well have paid nothing in federal taxes. He interrupted to say, “That makes me smart.”

Trump aggressively tried to turn the transparency questions around on Clinton, saying he would release his tax information when she produces more than 30,000 emails that were deleted from the personal internet server she used as secretary of state.

Trump’s criticism of Clinton turned personal in the debate’s closing moments.

He said, “She doesn’t have the look, she doesn’t have the stamina” to be president.

He’s made similar comments in previous events, sparking outrage from Clinton backers who accused him of levelling a sexist attack on the first woman nominated for president by a major US political party.

Clinton leapt at the opportunity to remind voters of Trump’s numerous controversial comments about women, who will be crucial to the out-

“This is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs,” she said.

The televised face-off was the most anticipated moment in an election campaign that has been both historic and unpredictable. Both sides expected a record-setting audience for the showdown at Hofstra University in suburban New York, reflecting the intense national interest in the race to become America’s 45th president.

Police body camera use questioned The fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer in Charlotte is only the latest shooting to raise questions about how the department uses body cameras.

Six people were fatally shot since body cameras were given to all patrol officers about a year ago. But the officers who fired the fatal shots in five of those cases — including Keith

Lamont Scott’s — weren’t using the cameras.

The weekend release of police footage showing the shooting of Scott did little to ease some residents’ concerns about its handling.

More than 100 people jammed City Council chambers to voice their frustrations, calling for Mayor Jennifer Roberts and Police Chief Kerr Put-

ney to resign.

Roberts and Putney have taken criticism for their handling of the aftermath of the shooting, including the delay in the release of video showing the shooting.

Scott’s family and advocacy groups complain the department divulged only about three minutes of footage from two cameras. The footage in-

Scott’s family said he didn’t have a weapon. They have urged the police department to release all other video footage it has, as well as audio recordings of communications that could clarify how the situation unfolded.

Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts are separating after 11 years together. The celebrity couple says in a joint statement they’ve “come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple.” Schreiber and Watts have been together since 2005.

They have two children and are not married. They added in the statement: “It is with great love, respect and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship.” No other details were provided.

Godfather of gore dies Herschell Gordon Lewis, the horror filmmaker known as the godfather of gore, has died at the age of 87. Lewis’ spokesman James Saito said the director of such films as Blood Feast and Two Thousand Maniacs died in his sleep.

Lewis pioneered the horror genre in the 1960s known as the splatter film, which intentionally focused on gore and gruesomeness. Other horror films created

by Lewis included A Taste of Blood, The Wizard of Gore, The Gruesome Twosome, She-Devils on Wheels and Scum of the Earth! Lewis worked in advertising and financed most of his own films. John Waters, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino and James Gunn are among the filmmakers who were inspired by Lewis’ work.

■ ASHBURTON ALTRUSA

Banana boxes full of goodies at pop-up shop

BY NOAH GRAHAM Ashburton residents are having their knitting and crafting prayers answered with a pop-up shop this week.

The Ashburton Altrusa PopUp Fabric and Craft Shop was set up on Monday in the Ashburton Arcade to sell more than 100 banana boxes full of craft and fabric items, which had backlogged from the Altrusa Crafty Bazaar last month.

Altrusa president Isabell Page said the items were selling for a fraction of the usual cost and the money raised from the items sold would go to a charity or community club that had not been decided yet.

Page said the pop-up shop had been well received by the public, however, they still had a lot more to sell before they were finished.

The pop-up shop is open from 10am until 4pm and will end Friday.

■ MOOD OF THE BOARDROOM

Split over how to tackle housing crisis Politicians have clashed over the best way to solve the housing crisis – one of the top three concerns of business leaders in the Mood of the Boardroom survey.

Finance minister Bill English blamed “dumb planning’’ for exacerbating the housing shortage and contributing to poverty while Labour’s finance spokesman Grant Robertson said poor planning was just part of the issue and reiterated that his party would tackle property speculation by changing tax rules and banning foreign buyers from existing houses.

“Leadership from government in this is also part of the issue,’’ Robertson told the Mood of the Boardroom breakfast event.

Soaring prices have been blamed on property speculation fanned by the favourable tax treatment of rental property and the lack of restrictions on foreign buyers.

Robertson said Labour was working on ways to tackle negative gearing – where investors can write off interest costs on loss making properties.

“We do believe that part of what has to happen here is that speculation in our housing market has to be dampened down and negative gearing is a big part of that, we’ve also got our policy around foreign buyers only being allowed to come here and build rather than purchase existing houses.’’ he said.

The Herald’s annual Mood of the Boardroom CEO survey, published yesterday, collected information from more than 100

Bill English business leaders throughout the country. Seventy-two per cent said they were concerned that younger New Zealanders were being priced out of Auckland’s residential market.

On average, executives ranked housing affordability 6.69 out of 10, on a scale where 10 was extremely concerning.

English said the housing problems in Auckland were good problems to have.

“We are happy, in a sense, to be dealing with the pressures in Auckland because it has been created through population pressure.

“This pressure of population has, as its biggest factor, Kiwis not leaving,” he said.

Four years ago a net 39,000 New Zealanders left the country.

“This last year, the net inflow from Australia was plus 2000.

From minus 39,000 to plus 2000 means that a lot of houses did not empty out.”

While the government had announced plans for housing schemes that could provide

6000 houses in East Tamaki and Northcote, he acknowledged problems building them.

“You just can’t pick the people off the trees or the council planners who know who to wave through multi-billion dollar urban developments,’’ English said.

More tools and innovation were needed to match social housing to demand. Too often the number of bedrooms wasn’t what was needed in some areas.

English would not put a figure on the ideal median income to house price ratio. ‘’We focus on the supply,’’ he said.

Robertson said: ‘’I notice Bill studiously avoided giving you a number there – the rule of thumb would be you want one to four or one to three to one for – to be blunt that’s going to take a lot of work to get there when you’ve got Auckland around nine or 10 to one.’’

Chris Gudgeon, chief executive of Kiwi Property, said in the survey that the Government had lost sight of the crucial social role played by affordable housing, saying it had been “lazy, naive and negligent”.

Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei said it was notable business leaders were so concerned about housing.

“Auckland’s broken housing market is creating a city where the tradies and salespeople who make our businesses tick can’t afford to buy their own home,” she said in a statement following the event.

■ ROCKET LAB

■ CONSUMER ISSUES PAPER

Site ready for lift-off

Spark leads companies with most complaints

Rocket Lab has opened its launch site at Mahia – the world’s first private orbital launch complex.

The Auckland-based company plans to launch its first test rocket from the site at the tip of the Mahia Peninsula before the end of the year.

The site – in an area with little air traffic – will enable high frequency launches once the Rocket Lab programme gets to a commercial stage.

It will be the primary launch site for the 17m tall Electron rocket although lift off from sites overseas are possible.

Other launch pads overseas for rockets going into orbit are government-owned.

“Completing Launch Complex 1 is a significant milestone in the build-up to the first test flight of the Electron vehicle,” said Rocket Lab founder and chief executive Peter Beck.

The facility was opened yesterday by Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce.

The opening was also attended by 180 locals, officials, Rocket Lab staff and members of the newly formed New Zealand Space agency within the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Customers signed to fly on Electron include NASA, Planet, Spire and Moon Express. With a dedicated launch priced at $6.7 million to $7.6 million, Electron will take small satellites into low earth orbit at a fraction of the cost of overseas competitors.

Beck said it was ‘’wonderful’’ to celebrate the completion of the site with those who had welcomed the company into the community.

Wherever possible, Rocket Lab hired local contractors to develop the site. Facilities at Launch Com-

plex 1 include a vehicle processing hangar where the rocket will be fuelled up with liquid oxygen and kerosene and prepared for launch. At the other end of the site is a 50-tonne platform standing over 15 metres tall.

The carbon fibre vehicle weighs over 12 tonnes and is fitted with a kill switch that can be activated by specialist ground crew at the site if it strays off course.

The company is not putting a date on the first launch, one of three planned test flights before it carries any satellites.

GST RETURNS

WITH A

COUPLE OF CLICKS?

Telcos Spark and Vodafone have topped the list as the most complained about companies according to the Commerce Commission.

The Commission released its 2016 Consumer Issues Paper which showed a quarter of all complaints to the organisation were about just 21 companies with pricing the most common issue.

Spark received the most complaints with 140, followed by Vodafone with 133 and then sellers on Trade Me with 121.

Commission chairman Mark Berry said the report, now in its second year of being publicly released, highlighted some interesting trends but stressed that complaints did not necessarily mean companies had broken the law, adding that larger traders were more likely to receive complaints.

“Consumers complain to the Commission most about price (26 per cent), goods (23 per cent) and services (22 per cent), while one quarter of our Fair Trading Act complaints relate to just 21 traders,” Berry said.

11

Both Spark and Vodafone were quick to respond to the report, saying the result was disappointing.

Vodafone’s Liesbeth Koomen said while the company aimed to provide a great service experience, it sometimes fell short and received complaints.

Spark’s Jason Paris said the Commission had reported the total number of complaints regardless of whether the complaints were upheld and said ultimately none of the complaints about Spark had been taken forward.

“We’re disappointed in today’s Commerce Commission league table of 2015 complaints, as we’re working very hard to improve our customer experience,” Paris said.

Non-bank lenders also featured prominently in this years report with complaints about non-disclosure, irresponsible lending and targeting of vulnerable consumers. While finance companies make up just 3 per cent of the credit market they account for 43 per cent of creditrelated complaints to the Commission.

In brief Newcastle confirmed Newcastle will take over from Sydney as host of the seasonending Supercars race for the next five years, beginning in 2017.

The new event will replace the Sydney 500, which has been held at Olympic Park each December since 2009. The street circuit will pass major Newcastle landmarks, including Nobby’s Beach and Fort Scratchley. “The Hunter has thousands of Supercars fans who now have an event to call their own,” NSW Premier Mike Baird said. “The Newcastle 500 will be the first Supercars race ever held in Newcastle.”

Neesham out for rest of series New Zealand’s efforts to bounce back against India are being affected by injury with all rounder Jimmy Neesham unlikely to be fit for the remaining two tests in India.

New Zealand has called up veteran off-spinner Jeetan Patel to replace Mark Craig, who is out of the series with a side strain suffered during the 197-run first test loss in Kanpur.

Neesham missed the first test because of a rib injury received in the nets but was initially rated a good chance for the second test in Kolkata.

But coach Mike Hesson told The Crowd Goes Wild: “Jimmy is still struggling unfortunately and

might miss out on the third test yet”.

The 36-year-old Patel’s last test was in 2013, against South Africa, and he has an unimpressive bowling average in the high 40s, with 52 wickets in 19 tests.

But he has had a very good season for Warwickshire, and Hesson said his experience would be invaluable. New Zealand seem certain to continue with their three-spinner strategy.

“We wanted another offspinner in the group, with the foot holes that will be there again in Kolkata.

The Kolkata pitch had been low and slow with a reasonable amount of turn during the T20

World Cup, Hesson said.

“It’s going to be hot and humid again and the pitch will deteriorate pretty quickly,” he said.

“A lot of (spin bowling) is about the pace you bowl.

“In New Zealand, because the wickets don’t turn, we try to beat batsmen in the air. They don’t even contemplate that here they try to beat you off the wicket.

“And if you are unable to score runs, they create more pressure by putting more and more fielders around the bat.”

Hesson was non-committal about embattled opener Martin Guptill - he scored 21 and nought - except to say he was in a “really

good frame of mind and it’s important we keep it that way”.

India are enjoying one of their best runs at home, with 10 victories and two draws from their last 12 tests.

Hesson said Luke Ronchi and Mitchell Santner were the obvious positives from the test. Santner is the first Kiwi to score more than 100 runs and take at least five wickets in a test since Daniel Vettori five years ago.

Hesson said :”We are not smacking each other over and talking about all the bad things.

We got confidence from large parts of the test.”

The second test starts on Friday.

Warriors’ plans for Foran receive huge setback The Warriors’ plans to have Kieran Foran on board for the 2017 season are reported to have received a huge setback.

The Sydney Morning Herald says that “the chances of him being registered in time to take up a contract with New Zealand Warriors are remote”.

The former Manly and Parramatta star has signed a one year contract with the Warriors but there is a clause which requires him to be cleared by the NRL’s integrity unit, with the deadline believed to be December.

The SMH claimed the clause is “almost certain to scupper those plans” and says it believes there is “next to no chance” of Warriors chief executive Jim Doyle be-

ing successful in persuading the NRL to okay the Foran move.

NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg said he wanted Foran to return to the game but only under the right conditions.

“We have to ensure that we understand fully the issues that he’s dealing with and our integrity unit will do that over the coming months ... it needs to be done appropriately so I’m not going to provide a running commentary throughout it,” Greenberg said.

The questions over Foran concern his association with controversial punter Eddie Hayson and the cloud of a police investigation into league match fixing claims. There are also concerns about Foran’s mental health.

Foran and his lawyer, Auck-

land lawyer Don Mackinnon, have sought advice from the NRL’s integrity unit on what conditions need to be met, saying he would cut ties with Hayson if told to.

Foran strongly rejects any involvement in match fixing and emphasised his innocence through social media over the weekend.

Foran said: “I want to assure you, I have done nothing wrong.

I took a break from the game because I felt I wasn’t in the head space to uphold my commitments as a contracted footballer.

“I have been very open about my struggle with health issues and asked for time to concentrate on rebuilding my life.”

The Miami Marlins took the field yesterday for the first time since the death of pitcher Jose Fernandez and teammate Dee Gordon honoured Fernandez in the perfect way – with a home run in the team’s first at bat of the game.

Jose Fernandez, 24, died in a boat accident in Florida, which also claimed the lives of two friends.

Lead-off hitter Gordon batted right-handed for the opening pitch of Miami’s first innings in tribute to Fernandez. Gordon then hit a leadoff homer producing emotional scenes. All the Marlins players were wearing number 16 to honour Fernandez and stood around an empty pitcher’s mound for a moment’s silence before the game.

In brief Attitude ‘needs fixing’ Andre Agassi believes controversial Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios can go to world No.1 if he fixes his attitude. Agassi, who admitted he hated the sport early in his career, believes Kyrgios now needs to learn the same lessons he did. “I’m always amazed when I look back at my life and hating tennis,” he said. “It’s like hating an inanimate object. Tennis is what you want to be.” Agassi held the world No.1 ranking for 101 weeks, including for 12 months between 1999 and 2000. He insists 21-year-old Kyrgios, ranked 15th, can reach the same level. However he says it’s only possible if Kyrgios employs a full-time coach.

■ LONGBEACH COASTAL CHALLENGE

Event celebrating 10th year

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

November’s ATS Longbeach Coastal Challenge will mark 10 years of community fundraising for the sporting event.

The Longbeach Coastal Challenge takes people along a number of different running, walking or cycling courses though the scenic Longbeach Estate.

Competitors pay an entrance fee ranging from $15 up to $240, depending on what course

they’re doing and whether they’re in a team or not or what age group they are in.

Angela Cushnie, committee member, said money raised is then donated to the community and most of it goes to Longbeach School.

She said the teachers are asked to write a wishlist of things they want and after the event the organisers come together and try to get what they can.

Over the past nine years more

than $165,000 has been raised and split between Longbeach School and the Hinds District Lions Club.

Thanks to the event Longbeach School has been provided with iPads, an AV system and a new maths programme called Numicon.

To celebrate the 10-year anniversary all participants who finish will be given a special finisher’s medal and there will be spot prizes given out and prizes

for first, second and third place finishers in all age groups for the 21km run and 35km bike ride.

A $500 prize will be given to fastest overall male and fastest overall female in the 35km ride, sponsored by Longbeach Estate.

Competitors who sign up before September 30 also go into the early-bird draw to win a bicycle, donated by Paul Wylie Cyclerama.

Race day for the event is November 27.

Ryder Cup dominance ‘not a factor’ Europe captain Darren Clarke insists winning the last three Ryder Cups is irrelevant as his side embark on their bid to win an unprecedented four in a row.

The team assembled at Hazeltine National Golf Club near Minneapolis on Monday hoping to continue their dominance in the biennial event, which extends to 10 victories and a draw in the last 15 encounters.

Six of the last seven – with Valhalla in 2008 the only exception – have gone the way of Europe and while that has provoked much consternation, handwringing and over-examination of processes in the United States Clarke is keen to ensure their past record does not produce any complacency.

“I think it’s irrelevant going into this week. Each Ryder Cup is individual in its own rights,” he said.

Darren Clarke “We have had different scenarios going on in past Ryder Cups and this is a totally different one where we’re currently under the shadow of Mr Palmer’s (one of golf’s greats Arnold Palmer died this week aged 87) passing away.

“We will pay our respects but come Friday we will be out there

battling like the two great teams that we are. “What I was going to say to the players I’m still going to say to the players but obviously with this passing of the King (as Palmer was known) it’s a slightly different perspective on the whole thing now.

“Whatever happens this week it will be another great chapter in the history of the Ryder Cup.” Clarke has stuck mainly to the tried-and-tested formula employed by previous captains in how he has made his selection for players who did not qualify automatically and also his assistants.

That is in contrast to the United States, who employed a specially-assembled task force to look at what was going wrong following the fall-out from the 16-1/2-11-1/2 drubbing at Gleneagles which resulted in players like Phil Mickelson turning

on then captain Tom Watson in the immediate aftermath.

Clarke admits he is very much of the opinion that something which is not broken does not need to be fixed.

“I’ve been doing it the same way as the European Tour keep on doing it,” he added.

“Obviously our system has been reasonably successful of late so consequently that would be very foolish of me to try to make any changes to that system.

“The Tour run a very tight ship. They know exactly what happens.

“We didn’t have a task force as such. We just keep doing the way that we’ve been doing it in Europe.

“We’ve been very fortunate that it’s been a formula that seems to be very successful.”

Breakers still winless The New Zealand Breakers have ended a six-match NBL pre-season winless after a 103-89 loss to the Adelaide 36ers in the Australian Basketball Challenge in Brisbane.

It was their third defeat in the tournament, making them the only NBL side in the 10-team event to fail to pick up a victory.

The Breakers were again without injured guards Kirk Penney, Shea Ili and Corey Webster. The trio’s absence was compounded by American import Ben Woodside also being unable to suit up on Monday, which meant new coach Paul Henare having to reshuffle his starting five. The Breakers produced a strong first half to lead 55-45 at the main break, but Adelaide dominated the third quarter 32-12 to head into the final 10 minutes in front 77-67. Henare then chose to rest senior players and give extended court time to younger members of his squad.

Isaih Tueta led all scorers with 22 points.

Houston was also awarded Canterbury’s man of the match following their quarter-final victory over Manawatu.

Canterbury headed to Taupo after winning all of their pool matches and topping the South Island.

Smith has been accused of pushing Raiders skipper Jason Croker in the back and making contact with his injured leg following a Storm try. But Ryles, who spent two years playing with Melbourne, says it’s par for the course for the Storm to come under fire from Sydney critics during the finals.

Cecchin to referee NRL final Matt Cecchin has been appointed to referee Sunday’s NRL grand final despite a complaint made

by Melbourne in the aftermath of their preliminary win over Canberra last week.

Cecchin came under fire from both the Storm and referees boss Tony Archer on Monday after Melbourne captain Cameron Smith was forced to wide a conversion attempt last Saturday.

However Archer still named Cecchin as lead referee, partnering him with the experienced Ben Cummins for the Melbourne-Cronulla decider at ANZ

Stadium.

Archer said the officials team needed to better look after Cecchin last Saturday.

“We’ll put our hands up when we do make a mistake,” Archer told AAP. “For us, it was a bit of a team letdown. Obviously it was unique circumstances. A try was scored, he had to check it and there was also a fracas that happened behind him.

“He came out physically to clear it but didn’t go back to the original position. We need to look after him better as a team and

not allow that to happen again.”

Cecchin, who will officiate just his second decider, admitted feeling nervous over a possible axing over his embarrassing gaffe, but promised not to make the same mistake.

“That’s never happened before, officiating over 400 games,” he said.

“The sequence of events and the way that that try unfolded, no one knew that that had happened. But because we learn – and I do learn from my mistakes, that’s one thing I can promise you. It won’t happen on the

weekend.” Archer said Cecchin and Cummins, who were the lead referees in both preliminary finals last week, were the form officials in the NRL. “They’ve both been there before, they know what to do. But they’ve performed really well in the semi-finals so I’m taking in the two form referees in that grand final,” he said.

The Sharks are undefeated in four games refereed by Cecchin this year, while the Storm have split their six games under his watch.

Nathan Harris is dreaming big after a successful operation on his right knee as he chases a return to the All Blacks for their home series against the British and Irish Lions next year. The Chiefs hooker had his season cruelly cut short last month when he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during a training session before the Bledisloe Cup Test against Australia. Harris will now spend the next six to nine months on the sideline as he recovers from the surgery in what has been another disappointing twist to his injuryplagued career.

India are in prime position to push for a series victory when the second Test begins in Kolkata on Friday, but Williamson has seen some encouraging signs for New Zealand. “For a number of players it’s their first time batting in these sorts of conditions and there’ll be a lot of lessons learnt,” he said.

“Looking to apply the skills that worked for a period of time, being able to do that for a lot longer – which is what the Indian players do – is very important.”

Langman turns her back on Ferns Laura Langman will hit the pause button on her Silver Ferns career next year after signing with the Sunshine Coast Lightning for the inaugural season of the Australian league.

The star mid-courter was yesterday confirmed in the Lightning line-up for the 2017 season, linking up with her long-time mentor Noeline Taurua at the new startup team, backed by NRL club the Melbourne Storm and based out of the Sunshine Coast University.

The move will make Langman ineligible for Silver Ferns selection next year, with Netball New Zealand taking a hardline stance in enforcing its eligibility criteria.

Netball NZ’s policy states athletes must be based in New Zealand and play for a domestic franchise to be eligible for national selection.

Langman was granted a special exemption after signing with the NSW Swifts for what turned out to be the final year of the ANZ Championship, but the split in the trans-Tasman league and the move back to standalone domestic competitions saw Netball NZ take a more uncompromising position.

With no major events on the horizon next season, it is understood Langman has made the decision to take a sabbatical from the Ferns with the view to returning to the New Zealand competition in 2018 ahead of the Commonwealth Games and 2019

Laura Langman won’t be pulling on the black strip of the Silver Ferns next year, signing with the Sunshine Coast Lighting instead.

World Cup in Liverpool.

Taurua said Langman agonised over the decision to play in the Australian league next season.

The super-fit mid-courter enjoyed her time in the challenging training environment of the Swifts this year and was keen to further extend herself in the

new Australian competition, but wanted to continue playing for the Ferns.

“She loves being a Silver Fern and I don’t think people will know how hard this decision was for her, and how hurtful it was in some respect. Everything she does is to be a better player for

the Silver Ferns, so it’s a big move and a big decision. But her time with the NSW Swifts showed she has become a better player and that was demonstrated in the Quad Series,” said Taurua.

“When I look at the international commitments for 2017, this is an opportune time for her

to challenge herself and be better.”

Taurua, who was controversially overlooked for the Silver Ferns coaching job last year, said she has sympathy for Netball NZ’s position.

“I can understand their thinking with the new New Zealand competition. Netball NZ want it to be a strong competition and make sure they have the best talent around. But I can also understand where Laura is as well, and to be honest I think it will still come back as a win-win situation for everybody.

Langman is one of four imports at the Lightning side, joining fellow Kiwi and former Magic teammate Erena Mikaere, English star Geva Mentor and South African defender Karla Mostert.

The team is headlined by Australian sharpshooter Caitlin Bassett, who was unveiled as their star signing last week alongside Diamonds rookie Steph Wood.

Taurua said she is excited to have the opportunity to work with some of international netball’s biggest stars.

“I guess that was the drawcards for me to go over there – one to be challenged as a coach and a person and to learn about the landscape over there, and two to work with the calibre of players like Caitlin and Geva, who are such big icons in the world game, and see what I can add to their game.”

11 things you need to know about . . . the NRL grand final 1) The NRL grand finals are always held in Sydney, a tradition which has not been broken by the spread of the game to a few areas out of New South Wales.

Since 1999, the premiership decider is held at the Olympic Stadium which initially had a capacity over 100,000 – there were 107,500 at the 1999 game. The capacity is now 83,500.

2) The Melbourne club was established during the Super League war of the 1990s and entered the NRL in 1998. They have made six grand finals during that time, a feat matched only by the Sydney Roosters.

The Storm won four of those but were stripped of two titles for salary cap breaches.

3) The Sharks entered the competition in 1967 and have never won the title, establishing a famous bridesmaid’s reputation by losing the 1973 and 1978 grand finals, along with the Super League final of 1997.

4) The 50-year-old Shane Flanagan, who played first grade for three NRL clubs up until 1994, took over as Sharks head coach in 2010. He has been making a comeback from the club’s supplements programme controversy which saw him suspended for the 2014 season.

He was found not to have had any input into the programme

Chris Rattue breaks down 10 things you need to know about the NRL grand final.

James Maloney of the Sharks scores a try during the NRL Preliminary Final match between the Cronulla Sharks and the North Queensland Cowboys. but “failed the players in regards to safeguarding their health and welfare”.

5) Melbourne coach Craig “Bellyache” Bellamy, 56, had a long playing career with Canberra. He has established himself as among the greatest coaches in any foot-

ball code since taking over the Storm in 2003.

When Bellamy coached New South Wales, Flanagan was his assistant in three losing State of Origin series. Flanagan has described Bellamy as a “real mentor of mine” and told the SMH “I

definitely model my coaching on the principles he applies as well ... and probably copied a bit off him.” It is reported they holiday together and keep in regular contact.

6) The fastidious Bellamy once revealed he watched 18 hours of video a week, with 12 of those on the opposition. Obsessive halfback Cooper Cronk is the player who wanted the most detail on opponents, the SMH reported, while the great hooker Cameron Smith wants a moderate amount.

Some want none – former Storm star Greg Inglis told Bellamy “I don’t give a f!@#.”

7) The Sharks have three ex-Warriors in Aussies James Maloney, Chad Townsend and Jayson Bukuya. They have a couple New Zealand backs in the Auckland-raised wing Sosaia Feki, who should get a Kiwi call up this year, and test utility Gerard Beale.

The Storm pack relies heavily on Kiwis – Jesse and Kenny Bromwich, Tohu Harris and Kevin Proctor.

8) Star ex-Kiwi forward Tawera Nikau played for Cronulla in the 1997 Super League grand final when they lost to Brisbane, and the Melbourne Storm in their first title win when they beat the Dragons in 1999.

Although he did not win the award, most judged him man of

the match against the Dragons.

9) The NRL altered the extra time rules for finals matches a couple of months ago. There will be five minutes of extra time each way before golden point is used, if needed. The NRL believes it will encourage more expansive football rather than the mad scramble to land a field goal, and make it less likely that golden point is the decider.

10) Melbourne are slight favourites with the bookies, but neither club is very popular with neutrals. Under normal circumstances, there should be a lot of goodwill for Cronulla. They have struggled to get major sponsorship and have built a club on clever work.

But the supplements scandal and a team noted for dishing out the niggle – led by Michael Ennis and James Maloney – is not top of the pops. Melbourne are often criticised for their wrestling tactics in tackles, designed to slow down the play the ball and upset opponents’ rhythm.

And one suspects Sydney league is a little jealous of Melbourne’s success.

11) The two teams shared their matches this season but Cronulla have a terrible record against the Storm losing 10 of their last 12 games.

Turnbull crunch race for Kiwi mare Make or break time is looming for Sofia Rosa in Australia.

Last season’s Gr.1 ATC Oaks winner has satisfied Stephen Marsh with both her recent runs in Melbourne, but the Cambridge trainer acknowledged she will need to go to another level in Sunday’s Gr.1 Turnbull Stakes at Flemington.

“She’s at the crossroads – she needs to be really hitting the line well to warrant running in the Caulfield Cup and her work suggests she will go well,” Marsh said.

“I’ve been happy with her, but it will be tough and the horse that gets in best is Rising Romance.

“We have to give her weight under the set weights and penalty conditions of the race, but that’s the way it works.”

Marsh confirmed that Danielle Johnson will retain the mount on Sofia Rosa and he said an inside gate would boost their chances.

“I’d love to see her get a good alley and then we can ride her a bit closer to the pace – they are all very good horses and you can’t sit back last against them.”

Marsh will face a busy weekend with stable runners at Hastings on Saturday headed by his unbeaten Gr.2 Sacred Falls Hawke’s Bay Guineas contender Ugo Foscolo.

“I’ll be there and then fly to Melbourne the next morning – no rest for the wicked!” he said.

Currently at $6 in the Gr.1 Sothys NZ 2000 Guineas market, Ugo Foscolo successfully started his three-year-old season with an age group win on the opening day of the Hawke’s Bay carnival.

“We’ll monitor him after this race, but it was always the plan to give him this run and then go down to Christchurch,” Marsh said. “He might have a jump-out or a quiet trial somewhere.”

Ian Foster says the All Blacks will need to be careful going into Sunday’s clash against Argentina in Buenos Aires.

“It’s a matter of how we change, and what positions we change to make sure that if we are putting newer players in there, they’ve got players around them that enable them to go out there and do what they need to do.”

Foster said the selectors had a clear idea of the starting team they are going to field against Argentina this weekend.

With injuries to the likes of Sam Cane, Aaron Cruden and Jerome Kaino, silverware from the competition already secured along with the potential danger for player burnout following a demanding Super Rugby and international season, one would imagine there would be at least some tweaks made to the starting team from the established side that has run rampant in the Rugby Championship thus far.

A potential change to the starting side could come in the form of first-five-eighth, as Lima Sopoaga could be expected to be handed some considerable game time, as Beauden Barrett has started in nearly every match he’s played in for both the Hurricanes and the All Blacks this season, meaning

he could be in line for a rest this weekend.

The same could be said for influential hooker Dane Coles, who has been a key member in the Hurricanes and All Blacks squads this year.

The lack of depth New Zealand has in the hooker position, combined with Coles’ hefty workload this year, could mean Codie Taylor and/or the uncapped Liam Coltman may be in line for some substantial game time in Buenos Aires.

Waisake Naholo has returned from the injury he suffered against Australia in Sydney, and he too could be considered for a straight swap in the number 14 for Israel Dagg, who has been impressive in his All Black comeback following his World Cup omission last year.

Elliot Dixon, Liam Squire and Matt Todd will all battle with each other to fill the holes in the matchday 23 left vacated by Sam Cane and Jerome Kaino, while the exciting Damian McKenzie, who is still yet to make his international debut, could be an outside chance to make the cut.

WRFU, Filipo agree to end contract Wellington Rugby has terminated Losi Filipo’s contract.

Filipo withdrew himself from Wellington Lions 2016 Mitre 10 Cup squad yesterday.

Wellington Rugby said Filipo hoped his withdrawal would help the victims of his assault move on with their lives.

“The 18-year-old has always recognised that his actions caused hurt and complications for the victims of the assault, and hopes that the termination of his playing contract will go some way towards demonstrating his remorse and personal accountability for the situation,” the organisation said in a statement.

“With support from his representative and the New Zealand

All Blacks wary of Argentine threat Assistant coach Ian Foster says the All Blacks will need to be careful going into Sunday’s clash against Argentina in Buenos Aires.

Having secured the Rugby Championship title, the Bledisloe Cup and the Freedom Cup the All Blacks will take on Argentina for the second time, following their 57-22 win in Hamilton three weeks ago.

Speaking to Radio Sport’s Nigel Yalden, Foster said the All Blacks need to be wary of the threat the Pumas pose following their clash in Hamilton.

Foster said the Argentines will have learned a lot about the All Blacks’ style of play based on the last 30 minutes of that match, where the All Blacks scored 33 unanswered points to blow out the final scoreline.

“They will see some really good things [from the first 50 minutes of the match],” Foster said.

“I guess you can talk about their 50 minutes, I mean we did pretty well in that last 30, but we’ve got to be careful because they would have learned a lot about us in that last 30, so we’ve got the same issues that they’ve got.

“Are they going to carry on playing that sort of game? Are they going to play a little bit more conservatively? They’re the sort of things we mull over and try to figure out how they’re going to go.

“Ultimately for us, we just want to make sure that we keep our tempo going and we exercise our right options within our game structure and we find that’s the most important thing for us.”

Foster admitted it was tempting to blood some of the newer, younger faces in the side for this weekend’s match.

“It’s tempting because we know inside the camp, there are guys training really well and jumping out of their skin, so we balance that up with all the other variables we have got to consider, which is we still want to growing our game and keep getting better.

Rugby Players’ Association Filipo approached Wellington Rugby yesterday seeking a release from his playing contract and, after discussions the parties agreed that the termination of his contract was the best outcome for all parties.”

Filipo said in a statement he had made a “huge mistake”.

“I understand why the victims of the assault do not want to talk to me and have not taken up an offer of restorative justice, but I would like to publicly apologise for my actions and the damage they caused ...

“I will continue to access the personal development and support structures I have engaged with over the past year.

“Though I cannot change what

happened I recognise that I have been provided with a second chance and I want to continue use this opportunity to work hard.”

Wellington Rugby chief executive Steve Rogers said the situation was an unfortunate one for everybody involved.

“Our first thoughts are with the victims of this assault. Wellington Rugby would like to extend our sympathies to the two men and women involved in the incident and reiterate the fact that we do not condone violence in any form.

“We would like to extend an offer of assistance and support to Greg Morgan, a member of our rugby community who we have learned will not be able to play the game due to his injuries.”

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’ll hash out a deal. Once you commit and move forward, differences vanish.

That doesn’t mean they were unimportant. In fact, it will be helpful to discuss them; milk out the insight before they disappear.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): So what if you make a big to-do over a trifling matter? Living artfully and blowing things out of proportion is just something artists do: Just because your sizing is different, that doesn’t make it wrong.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Celebrate what you’ve been through. Embrace the experiences in life that are written in the lines of your face. They make you better, and you’re more attractive for your uniqueness.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Without a map or a tour guide and nary a recommendation in sight, you launch your adventure. This ambling journey will be rewarding, if tinged with purposelessness. Trust your sense of direction.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You want victory as much as anyone, yet you don’t want it at the expense of another. This is a conundrum, because everyone can’t win in the same way – although there may be various ways everyone can win.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): With the big responsibilities comes the fear of doing it all wrong. It’s a healthy fear to have, as it will keep you checking yourself, seeking teachers and remaining humble and coachable.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If you find yourself fantasising about being somewhere – anywhere – else, this is only one more reason to stick where you are and face the thing right in front of you.

Your escape is in working out the problem.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When you’re accused of being a troublemaker, grin and own it. When your trouble doesn’t amuse, it gets people thinking and forces them to be better.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll avoid a mistake by turning your attention to your obvious responsibilities. By taking care of the basics, the fine details either fall naturally into place or get handled by trusted supporters.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll play in different energetic styles today. You can be frivolous because there’s a stable supporter behind you. You can be stable because there’s a whimsical influence flitting around.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You don’t need to stretch the truth in order to prove that you can handle a duty. Nor do you need to posture or act confident enough to fulfil a role. Truly, just do the work, and you’ll shine.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You probably didn’t wake up in an outgoing mood, but the day has social opportunities not to be missed. You’ll quickly feel just as friendly and warm as you pretend to feel.

100th Heartland clash

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Saturday’s clash with East Coast will be Mid Canterbury’s 100th Heartland Championship match since the competition’s inception in 2006, and the Hammers have accumulated an impressive record so far.

Of the 99 games played, Mid Canterbury have won 65 and lifted the Meads Cup twice in 2013 and 2014.

The Hammers’ longest winning streak lasted for 11 matches and they have scored a total of 2556 points while conceding just 2047 since the Heartland

Championship kicked off.

Meanwhile, Mid Canterbury’s head-to-head statics against East Coast don’t make pleasant reading for this weekend’s opponents.

The two teams have locked horns seven times with Mid Canterbury winning on five oc-

casions to East Coast’s two.

The tie also produced Mid Canterbury’s biggest win in Heartland history with a 6712 thumping of East Coast in 2014, and the Hammers faithful will be hoping for a similar result on Saturday.

FA seeks clarification over Sam Allardyce Sam Allardyce’s position at the England helm is under scrutiny as the Football Association awaits further details of secretly filmed conversations which appear to show the recently appointed manager making a variety of controversial comments to undercover reporters.

An embarrassing Euro 2016 exit at the last-16 juncture to Iceland led to Roy Hodgson and his coaching staff’s immediate departure, with Allardyce an-

nounced as successor in July.

However, just 67 days after being appointed, the 61-year-old’s role is in question after the Daily Telegraph’s investigations team secretly filmed him.

Press Association Sport understands the FA has asked the newspaper for the full facts and is awaiting a response.

The governing body will assess the situation and see where to go next.

Allardyce was recorded dur-

Warriors’ plan hits hiccup P14

ing a 10-month investigation that the newspaper claims “separately unearthed widespread evidence of bribery and corruption in British football”.

The Telegraph’s video appears to show the England manager telling a fictitious businessesman how to circumvent FA third-party ownership laws and negotiate a deal to address investors in a Far East firm.

He was captured appearing to tell reporters that it was “not

a problem” getting around FA rules which stop third parties “owning” football players’ economic rights.

The controversial practice was banned by the FA in 2008 over concerns it compromised the integrity of the game, as the third party could profit whenever a player was sold.

When asked about the rules, Allardyce was filmed on a hidden camera apparently saying: “It’s not a problem.”

Conor McGregor will fight for Eddie Alvarez’s lightweight title in the UFC’s debut in New York City. The mixed martial arts promotion announced the main event for UFC 205 on November 12 at Madison Square Garden in the UFC’s first show in the state.

McGregor (20-3) is a major pay-perview draw and a wildly popular Irish brawler. Although he holds the UFC’s featherweight title, his last two fights were lucrative welterweight bouts against Nate Diaz.

Three-month headache South African five-eighth Pat Lambie, who woke up with a headache every day for three months after being knocked out against Ireland in June, says he’s ready to return against Australia on Saturday. “I’m thrilled to be back. It has been quite frustrating sitting on the side, especially for how long it took to get better again. “But thankfully I’ve been looked after well off the field.” Lambie was picked for his first Test in charge against Ireland in June but was poleaxed early on.
